TINY NOTEBOOK WITHOUT LINES

I used to write down my thoughts in composition notebooks with lines because it's just whatever I had in my shelf at home leftover from my school days but this is better! I'm excited to revamp my journal ecosystem! Without the lines, I feel more free to write and it's so cute and compact I feel cooler writing in it and have been writing my thoughts and random things down more than I ever have?? composition notebook felt too much like school and it wasn't cute so I dreaded writing and it felt like a chore and I only wrote my miserable thoughts down

Commonplace Books

I do not have it together enough to do the regimented bullet journal thing nor am I equipped with a workshop of washi tape colors and stationary stickers for those beautiful journals that are more like scrapbooks than notes. What I am capable of is word vomiting directly into a random and unattractive notebook every passing thought, borrowed scrap of inspiration, or theoretical weekly exercise routine I am experimenting with. I think this lowbrow mess is the most rewarding type of journaling beyond doing it for an actual therapeutic purpose. When a bunch of librarians I work with told me this genre of journal has a name and a history going back to the Renaissance I was delighted. My common place books are ugly and valid!!

digital journals

love being able to instantly add photos + writing down my thoughts + keep it all on my ipad getting a paper-like screen protector gives that writing on paper feel too also just look at my cover I made my journal, it’s too cute to not share

beauty in the mundane

What privilege it is to wake up to the beautiful sun rays beaming from my windows to lighten up my room. What privilege is it that these same windows are bringing a beautiful breeze that tickles my body. What privilege that the same beautiful room decorated by sun shine is the same room that brings me comfort and rest. A space where my self can come out safely. What privilege it is to have a self that is actively taking me to places where I can indulge in delicious foods, listen to eargasmic music, acquire knowledge and be engulfed by the beauty of the life. It is these things that make up the root of my existence, the reason to my being. May I continue to indulge in the beautiness of the otherwise mundane.

Individuality final boss

I think the idea of hating on trendy things for the sake of wanting to be seen as different is very corny. I understand that not developing your own sense of style and copying whatever you see on tiktok or ig without adding your personal touch is an indicator of the lack of creativity, but that (imo) doesn't apply to people that genuinely like the item/style...If you for example like sambas or the leopard print baggy jeans and can get multiple uses out of them then that's great! you're not a microtrend final boss if you wear these items...

You unfortunately can't get away with repressing feelings for too long

No matter how hard or uncomfortable it is, you have to sit with them, you have to listen to your voices....And if you have the mental energy to do so, write them down. Often times, the feelings you dismiss as minor end up having the most impact on your overall health (be it mental or physical)....Your body can feel when you're suppressing your emotions and it unfortunately makes you prone to diseases and disorders (believe me, I am currently being diagnosed for crohn's)...You also become more agitated and exhausted without knowing why.... These repressed feelings can be in the form of burn-outs, intrusive thoughts, anxieties, or any strong emotion you face throughout the day. Regardless, you have to address them...
