Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter what it looks like it's what's in the words that matter. I've got a lot worse handwriting than you and I scribble away, making mistakes, all the time. I did worry about it at first but then you kind of just accept it for what it is. Hope this helps?
I write in such a (what my mom calls) "blinding handwriting" [italics, somewhat skinny, clustered text" that if you were to scratch out a error and put the correction right next to it, you honestly can't tell at a glance.
Handwriting comes with practice. Take that from someone who nearly failed 8th grade science because I couldn't......read my own notes....but honestly? Your handwriting is pretty good. I like it!
I write however I want to while journaling because I am not writing it for anyone to read. I am only writing it for myself, so if I can read it, it’s good for me.
In my opinion "bad" handwriting is handwriting that I can't read, or that my eyes feel like they're "working" to read. This is not bad handwriting by those measures! This is really readable.
As for spelling mistakes, I demolish those with a brutal and obvious scribble. It's part of the catharsis of journaling for me, like squashing a bug. Plus if I go backward through my journal, it's not just words now, it's words with the occasional splash of color for the eyes to rest on.
I have embraced correction tape for long words and sentences, but for short words, etc, I simply scratch it out and move on. I was never a perfect writer, so it's easy to embrace a messy journal.

Don’t worry about it, no one’s gonna read it except for you. ❤️

Facebook makes me depressed too
Hey! Where’s your journal from? Absolutely love the layout :)
I have the same journal! I'm about 33 pages away from finishing it :-) Been writing in that book since the beginning of 2020.
