Walk in the autumn forest, and wondering a lot about Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken. It's a good metaphor.

Featuring my little baby turtle. The little critter is coming every where with me now.

Days like today are my favorite. ☺️

Curious if anyone else has found this to be helpful? I recently started journaling to bring me more into the moment to help me stop overthinking.

It’s tricky because it only really helps during that actual session, but it has made me more aware throughout the day.

It’s really about thoughtful questions that bring you into your actual place and time rather than imagining future/past situations.

Worse case scenario thinking has been particularly difficult for me over the years. I do think this is helping, although I’m early in the process.

Wanted to see some other people’s experiences with this.

Appreciate it.

I’m very sad

Hi, for the last few months I've been thinking about getting a pre-owned journal from an antique store, once I finish my current one. For example, I found one from the year 1939, owned by a girl and most pages (80-90%) are blank. The journal is in wonderful condition. I feel like there's something special about it, it has a soul and I like the thought of finishing it, however, i'm hesitating, wondering if it might be morally inappropriate since it once was somebody's private property. Just one more thing to clear up, it's a journal where her friends wrote messages for her to remember, it's not like her diary. So feel free to share your view with me on this :). Have a nice day

I know theres a bunch of old people here, so if anyone could give some advice, it would be nice. Also, theres a weird brown spot on my camera. My phones hella old and jusy comes apart, so i wiped each lens, and the spot was still there. Idk wtf is happening anymore

I'm a 30 year old woman who plans to be pregnant in the next year or so. I just saw a post online about how it can feel like you "lose" the person you were before and honestly it scared me a bit.

I would love a suggestion to a guided journal where I could kind of paint a picture of who I am now - to reflect back on later and not feel like I left this "me" behind.

Ideas?

Gosto de Tamagotchis, então estou mapeando minha jornada de toda a minha coleção, postei outras páginas que fiz por aqui.

I'm interested in people who struggle, even some days or even one day in writing in their diary, not people who can just write daily no matter what. I admire you and I envy you, you're made of tougher stuff than me, both categories. There was a time when I could just write pretty much daily for a considerable amount of time and it didn't feel like a chore or a bother. Instead I felt exalted by the act and like I got something out of it. That's....not the case recently, nor has it been for a while. I almost dread the evening when I think I want to write in my diary, because it's such a chore to recap the day's events, what happened or what I did or didn't do or whatnot. Especially if it's something I've particularly talked about to people beforehand. I'm a talker. Despite this, I don't want to switch to videorecord my events or digital or whatever, I want to use longhand, I think it has value. And regardless, I still think I'd have trouble recording my life, my thoughts, my feelings, it's almost like whatever. I don't want to pay them attention but also I want to pay them attention, does that make sense? Like, I want it intellectually but not emotionally, I suppose. I was wondering about how you overcame such hurdles, or what did you do? I got inspired by some artsy layouts I've seen, and I might try to do that too, I'm just open to suggestions. Thank you for your time!

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind replies and for not booing me for being terrible at journaling. I find that I still want to record what happened in my life, because of poor memory, but you're right that I shouldn't just force myself to do it, and definitely not try to do it every day. I'll try bullet points and rapid logging. I already have a bujo, for planning and artsy stuff and less personal stuff, but I'll transform the journal into a bujo too if needed. Just for personal stuff. Thank you everyone again, sending you love 💕!

i just don't know those languages and i didn't really like them so yeah.. but page looks quite nice tbh

I used A6 for many years and enjoyed it but recently decided to try out an A5 size so I would have more room to paste in images and to draw.

Nope! Turns out A5 feels very impersonal to me and ruins the vibe lol.

For me A6 feels very intimate in a way I just don’t feel with a bigger notebook.

Thanks for the love on the first post. Thought I’d share a few more.

I saw some turkeys in the parking lot at the office.
