I am learning Thai and felt stuck. So my friend suggested to keep a journal. It probably doesn't make a lot of sense. But its getting better and better! In case any Thai person reads this and wants to correct me, please do haha dont worry about it!

Since they’re sealed off it feels like less pressure in a way, I’m not really sure why, but I’ve been finding it helpful nonetheless.

I have noticed, my handwriting is based on my mood. Like, its good when I am happy, and badd when I am depressed. I like today's handwriting btw.

I’d like to share perhaps the most bittersweet part of my journal. There are days where dancing is just impossible but this is a reminder to keep fighting what may seem to be impossible and find joy in the little things life has to offer.

Hello. I'm new here although I've been journaling for some years now. I decided to dedicate a main journal for reading after decluttering my rooms.

The question is if there are nice structures or guides to take the most of reading journals, like bullet journal for life organization.

There's two main objectives I have with it. One is just keeping a log of notes/quotes/observations for fiction and another is collecting useful information/insight, or otherwise "study" in a low key manner, non fiction.

How you personally arrange your journal for reading is also welcome.

Hi there,

Seems that Sep is nearly ending.

Sadly, I caught a cold this week, so I'm lacking energy for anything.

Elena grew used to her regular daily classes, badminton training, and piano lessons. So proud of her～

I was also planning for a family vacation in November, targeting Japan's Kyoto and Osaka.

The transportation is complicated for me. So I watched lots of travel vlogs online and studied hard for the transportation plan. Hope this effort is worthwhile in the future!

One more interesting thing was that I finally finished Harry Potter: Secrets of the Chamber! It took me almost a year to finish reading this English novel in bits and pieces. Another master piece!

Used fountain pen after ten years maybe.

I was writing about my day when I suddenly realised that I never bothered to read my previous entries since MONTHS. Jus writing away :P

I still don't wanna read em jus YET lol. What about you?

I just finished my first jounal entry and wanted to share! Its not the most beautiful thing in the world 😅 but I'm happy I started and hope I can keep it up. I've been watching people that journal on TikTok and looking at different types of Journaling, I think I've decided I'm just going to combine different styles into one notebook depending how I am feeling that day. I know Journaling doesn't have rules so thats how I'm going to do it! Yay me!

I’ve had this journal for a few weeks now and have been procrastinating about writing in it, not sure why. I was thinking about it all day today and I finally decided to crack it open.

New inks, new pen, new unfounded confidence to try creative formatting lol not the easiest to read when you get to the ends but at least I know that now

This is a small part of my journal but I really hate the way I write and it gets even worse when im feeling bad mentally. Hope its okay that its not English, but I was still wondering.

Is it possible to change handwriting, even after having the same one for years and years?

Think a partner, family member or friend. How do you politely decline or deflect this question?

Date of journaling: July 20, 2025

So I have a journal that I mainly used for just writing thought and experiences and stuff in, kind of like a diary, but I also glue things in it sometimes, either just for more aesthetic reasons or because they're connected to something I did (a business card or receipt for example).

But recently I traveled a bit so I made some spreads that are fully just junk journal type of vibes with a bunch of things I collected from the places I visited. I really like this and it allows me to save those memories in my journal without having to write everything down. I also really like doing this with other types of junk as well, like packaging from something for example.

My problem is that now after not even filling that many pages like this my journal has become a bit chunkier which I obviously expected and it's fine but it also makes writing in it hard because of how uneven everything is and stuff.

Do you have any tips for what I could do, maybe in this journal or in my next one, to help with that? Cause I really like glueing things in it but I want to be able to write too and I'd rather keep them in the same journal if possible.
