Ciao a tutti, mi domandavo....quanti anni avete? Lo chiedo giusto per fare una statistica e vedere quante persone, della mia fascia di età, scrivono un diario o qualcosa di simile. Inizio io, fascia tra i 45 e 50 anni e scrivo una specie di diario (digitale purtroppo), con le cose che ho fatto durante la giornata. Voi come state messi?
I am in my mid twenties and sometimes I miss having a journal and writing day to day entries. I used to write diaries quite frequently when I was young until when I was 16. A close family member upon discovering that I write diaries, laughed at me and told me that diaries and journals are for people who are bored and have no friends. It made me very upset and angry and I found it hard to keep up with my hobby of writing diaries and eventually stopped.
I just felt like sharing it here, wondering if anyone else had any similar incidents and whether they got back to their love for this hobby.
I started without fancy pens and inks… now I’m stationery addict 😆💜
Sometimes when I am feeling down and don’t feel like writing my darkest thoughts down, I will either scribbled some doodle (I find the inspo on tik tok or Pinterest) and / or just reach for my never ending supply of stickers and do random sticker dump
Very therapeutic I recommend ❤️🙏❤️
trigger warning for sexual topics, i think! nothing graphic, just... how i've been feeling lately. everything feels doomed, everything feels so painful. i don't know what to do. i keep getting reduced to nothing but a personal satisfaction object for men, and it feels like there's nothing i can do about it.
All spine writing done with my pelikan m/600 in Noodlers Rome Burning on leuchtturm 1917.
How did it smudge so many times omg.. I was just trying to have a cute little journaling sesh while listening to Sabrina Carpenter but noooo (being a fountain pen lover and also left handed is so heartbreaking sometimes 😭)
Am I being a little dramatic?
..yes. The page isn’t ruined. It’ll be fine in a few days when I doodle and add pictures and things
I just thought it was something silly to show you all :,)
I don’t know why they kept smudging though, I haven’t had this issue before really 😭

Starting this small slimline poetry journal with written poems plus all things related to seasons and home. I like die cutting and stamping so my journal pages look a little more like handmade greeting cards or scrapbook layouts.
I wrote in my journal on a paddle board with a fountain pen under a dead tree with an osprey in it. It made me realize I kinda want a different journal for my excursions if this is gonna be a thing, lol. The season is winding down though so I have plenty of time to construct wish lists :3
Hello all! Thursday for me means another interpretative tarot reading. Honestly, I continue to be intrigued and amused by the cards that I pull from my tarot deck every week. Today’s card is Temperance, signifying balance and a harmony of energy among the opposing forces in my life. Not quite a counter to last week’s Fool—encouraging optimism and a realization of boundless potential— but a gentle reminder to practice moderation at this stage of the year.
I also appreciated the perspective of examining and exploring what I can learn from my shadow self. He has definitely been an opposing force the last few years, and I’ve struggled mightily with reconciling that side of me with the person I wanted to be. I realize now my shadow self does not want to hurt me; rather, he offers me lessons to become a fuller, more well-rounded person, with a greater understanding of myself as a whole. This is a lifelong work in progress, but to achieve harmony (when I can) is definitely worth the effort.
I just finished The Elegance of The Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery— a sometimes hilarious yet very heartfelt philosophical look at human nature, at what of ourselves we hide from others and what it takes for us to finally open up. With, as always, a pleasant mug of coffee.
