I always have to access Jupyter Notebook as a root user

Every time, I use Jupyter Notebook in Ubuntu 18.04, I have to access sudo bash first and then type jupyter notebook --allow-root to use Jupyter Notebook without any problem. This is because when I use normal user to access jupyter notebook, I will always get this error. 
Every time I try to create new jupyter notebook workspace, I will get this error. I can't just type $ jupyter notebook to use Jupyter workspace and save my new creation.
Please, could you tell me how to fix this issue?
UPDATE
This is what I see in /home/sura/.local/share/jupyter/notebook_secret using sudo nano
And this is what I see in ls -l /home/sura/.local/share/jupyter

Disclaimer: I have no experience with Jupyter.
It seems that your Jupyter data files are owned by root and therefore your user may not write to them. This is most probably the case because you ran Jupyter as root.
To rectify, you need to change the ownership of the files to your user.
Run sudo chown -R sura:sura /home/sura/.local/share/jupyter and test if it works now. If it still does not work, check the error message. After the term "permission denied" is a path. Check the permissions of that path (ls -l <path>) and if the file or directory belongs to root, change then owner (sudo chown -R sura:sura <path>).
Afterwards, never run Jupyter as root, always as your user.

Hello, the solution you gave me causes another error.Unexpected error while saving file: Documents/python/Untitled.ipynb [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/home/sura/Documents/python/.ipynb_checkpoints/Untitled-checkpoint.ipynb'I don't know why this can happen, hahahaha

As stated, you need to repeat that process (check ownership and fix it) until you can save again. I suspect you have a bunch of files used by Jupyter and owned by root scattered all over your home directory. For this file you should check ownership of/home/sura/Documents/python/and/home/sura/Documents/python/.ipynb_checkpointsusingls -l path. If either belongs to root, runsudo chown -R sura:suraon it. If unsure you can just runsudo chown -R sura:sura /home/sura/Documents/pythonand keep your fingers crossed.
