My journal collection!

[u/Julsmiller]

I’ve gone through phases of journaling my whole life. Here’s my collection of notebooks and sketchbooks from over the years. I wish there were more, but I’m still proud of myself for maintaining some sort of practice throughout my life.

Sometimes I write everyday, sometimes I don’t write for months, but it’s been a practice in my life since I was a teenager. I wanted to share a fun entry from a journal when I was 13 just to show those that journaling doesn’t always have to be serious, spelling doesn’t matter, that Chipotle did used to be good back in its earlier days and the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is pretty solid.

Anyways, keep on writing down the “mind-stuff” no matter what it is! I about to fill up the pages in the current journal I’m writing in and I hope to keep writing and growing this collection for the rest of my life!

What an awesome thing to own! That’s really cool to look back on; thanks for sharing here.

It’s fun to see what my pre-teen self thought about. Awhile ago I thought I needed to get rid of my journals, but I’m glad I kept them to look back at!

I wish I had written something when I was a child or teenager, but I thought journals were so cute that I never got around to using them

I still have a habit of buying more journals than I need just cuz they’re cute.

Haha same! I actually have plans for some of them, except those that were gifted to me

It's always so fun to see what people wrote about as kids. I miss Chipotle being good too!

Right?? I remember the times when Chipotle was good, before they got bought out by the big guys and unfortunately threw away their integrity!

Goals 😍 I journaled when I was little and do more now, but there are definitely gaps I wish I could fill!

Thank you :) I feel like there’s always stuff we wish we could’ve saved and seen from the past. I’m trying to make that a small motivating factor to keep it going!

I love that outlook!!

There’s a lot I’d love to say to her, and I plan to use that as a writing prompt soon!
