I like late night showers. But I should stop going through my bookmarks and getting rid of things I’ve already bought or are sold out/not found. But I’m very tempted to spend $97.50 on a journal/diary, but I’m scared to spend that much money. But I miss having a physical journal, I used to bullet journal a lot but decided to go digital post-2020 and yeah I wasted money because I hardly used it. Might have to think about it whether I need a journal or an SSD card.
Edit: Ooo I could AfterPay it… it seems to be a very popular planner, so I don’t want it sold out. Decisions decisions.
That is a lot of money for a very small journal. That can only be used for one year.
I find I can’t do things like journaling if it is an expensive book, I feel like I need to make my words important and meaningfull to match, I can’t just put down feelings and ideas as they flow. For me, cheap books or recycled paper are the go to. And depending on what it is I like to use pencil because I know I can change things so I’m not scared to start and do it wrong. Trying to use expensive fancy stationery is like playing dress-ups as a fantasy self I imagine myself to be, and is the antithesis of the sort of self-reflection and openness effective journalling really needs.
If you do decide you want to buy it though there is a 10% discount if you sign up for their newletter (down the bottom of the page if it doesn’t come up in a pop-up for you) so that helps a little bit.
That is understandable. But I’ve kept past journals that I’ll sometimes look through. But I totally understand about the whole “expensive fancy stationery feeling like dress up”.
I’ve bought from this place before when I was really into the studyblr/studygram communities (study + Tumblr and study + Instagram). But since 2020 I haven’t needed to buy stuff from there anymore. Now that I have an important job and digital journals aren’t just cutting it, I might have to look at investing in a journal.
Maybe I’ll give it a week to see if I’m still interested in it or if it’s just a hyperfixation (could be both lbr).
Whoops, it’s 12:42am and I have yet to shower.
