Journaling

Hello! First time in the doing anything like this, so please bear with me! There isn’t a place for people to post or talk about their journaling, which can be very helpful to others. So I decided to make one … even though I’ve never done anything remotely close to this. ———————————————————————— Welcome

This is a community for all journal related things prompts, questions, showing off, really anything relating to journaling. Always on the move, show off your everyday carry journal set up. Don’t write down paragraphs upon paragraphs of words, no worries! No matter how you journal or how you decide to keep your journal this community is for anyone who wants to share or just excited to see others set ups. ———————————————————————— Rules

No hateful conduct

Due to the nature of journaling posts can be very personal. Anyone who is found to be overly negative or discriminatory towards another member within this community will receive repercussions relative to the situation. Have basic etiquette, this community is based on positivity and that will remain my goal throughout.

No spam

Spam will be considered as posting the same content more than three times. ———————————————————————— Note

As this is my first time creating a community please let me know if there are any rules I should implement. I am completely open to feedback and criticism as long as it’s for the best interest of the community.

Wanna get a post out to show appreciation for all types of journaling. Personally I’m boring and traditional with weekly entries that can be pages long of just emotional venting or thought processing. All of course written with a fountain pen with sparkly ink. I kinda want to switch it up a bit, get the creative juices flowing or maybe some productivity integrated somewhere. So how do you journal? Feel free to show off some entries (if you’re comfortable) or of your journal cover.

Like others mine is all over the place. I'm in a crazy (but good) time of life with little kids so sometimes it's my therapist, sometimes it's my historian on what's happening with the kids/family, sometimes it's my place to think. No set schedule, just when I have time and feel like I need to work through something.

Whatever/whenever I find myself writing it's a joy. I've got a notebook I love (traveller's notebook) and a great fountain pen (Kaweco sport).

This is a montage of a bunch of digital pages that I did a few years ago. I love that I can fill the pages with relevant images - when I journal with a pen I'm restricted to more generic stickers that don't really match the content. Plus there's an undo button just in case ;)

The actual content is just general musings about books and movies, and what's been going on in everyday life, but I like that it's so colourful and stuffed with things to look at.

I don't really have a style. I will date the entry following a [yy/mm/dd] format, but the contents are whatever.

Sometimes it'll be a long vent about something that happened. Other times it will be me going over something that happened long ago. I'll even address it to an imaginary friend every now and then, just so that it feels like I'm telling a story instead. I have lists too, usually about the media I've consumed and want to remember.
