Sharing my story and why I'm passionate about bullet journaling.
It was the year 2020 when the pandemic hit. While other people found love in making Dalgona coffee and growing plants, I discovered and became enthusiastic about bullet journaling after I saw a pen collection post on Facebook. I followed the profile and fell down the rabbit hole of stationery and journaling (and planning, too!).
I didn't know it was a thing that's been going on for years. I wrote diaries when I was a child up to my teenage years but have always stopped. The longest time I journaled was a year until the diary was stolen. At other times, I eventually got lazy and missed writing diary entries until I stopped altogether.
Discovering bullet journaling changed how I journal and has helped me constantly write since 2020. Sure there were backlogs, which even lasted for 2-3 months but I always keep coming back. I found myself passionate about what I do. The added creativity challenge makes it delightful to me.
One main reason why I pursued this hobby is because I was really desperate to find a way to lessen my screen time. Illustrating and decorating helps me stay away from gadgets and focus on things that matter more.
Today, I run a Facebook page and TikTok account where I share my journal spreads. (Not just bujo but creative diary as well!) You may also join my Facebook group if you need help from fellow journaling enthusiasts. I'm hoping to see you there!
So I played around with water colors and newspaper as well as printed off a template for tiny envelopes and cards. The envelopes and cards will be used to write down boundaries and needs as I discover them and explore them with my therapist. Inam really happy how this turned out. :D
A little journal flip through from November. My 2023 Resolution was to finish one journal and go on a buying ban for the first six months of the year…Safe to say I did that…
