Rec'd on ๐Ÿ““ to ppl who care about their pens & notebooks: what pen & notebook should i get
GET A FOUNTAIN PEN
I would have put that in all caps if it wasnโ€™t already. If you care at all about the joy of physically writing by hand you should try a fountain pen. Kaweco makes a great entry level that Iโ€™m fond of (so many colors), but there are others, too. If youโ€™ve never done it, just try writing with one. Smooth, effortless, and you get to get really obsessed with inks, too.

fountain pens
everyone needs to write with a fountain pen at least once in their life. it's an entirely different experience from writing with your typical rollerball or ballpoint. there's no need to press down because the ink just flows off the nib effortlessly.
i have a small but steadily growing fountain pen collection myself and my favorite pen to collect is the kaweco sport. it's a beginner-friendly pocket pen that's perfect for my hand size.
you can even choose what inks to put in your pen. there's an extensive ink selection to choose from. the fountain pen hobby is very personal with endless possibilities for customization and freedom of expression.
if you do decide to pick one up, make sure you use fountain pen-friendly paper to get the most out of your pen and get the best writing experience possible. the rhodia pad is a good place to start.

a lil kaweco sport action is exactly what you need. makes your handwriting neater and they come in all sorts of fun colours โ€ฆ both barrel and ink. i have the iris pearl iridescent one and i would like to purchase many more. writing by hand should never become a lost art

fountain pens
its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention

Keep a list of small good things That happen to you
Add to it often โ€” when you see a dog carrying a comically large stick, when a sandwich tastes especially good, when a cute baby waves at you.
Look back at the list in times of despair.
