It has happened to me, not infrequently, that I don't know how I feel about a thing until I write about it. The clarification is more apparent with poetry than prose - because a poem has to take a stance, so I think it tends to draw out latent opinions and condense/finesse them - but I think it's always helpful to write about things. At minimum you can literally see your mind working through things on paper (or a screen). I used to journal a lot. I'm trying to pick it back up although I'm not great at it. I think it's good for one. I think it can be like meditation in ways.
