it has a slightly nebulous definition and might not be all that revolutionary of a concept but it consistently brings joy to my life. i use it as a collection of quotes & lines from film, books, music, and any other form of art and writing that resonated with me. sometimes i’ll just write down the quote, other times i’ll expand on why it’s meaningful to me. but now i have a collection of other people’s ideas that make me feel seen and speak to me to look at whenever i need it. using a physical journal also makes it more tangible, like i’m actually holding the ideas in my hands.
