junk journal

i've always kept receipts, packaging, tickets, and other similar things in a box. for memories and other stuff like that. most of the time, its tucked away in some corner of my closet. recently, a friend recommended to me that i should start a junk journal, and i did, and i think i've found a different way to perceive all of the different printed papers i have with me. the pieces of junk have found a soul.

Junk Journaling?

These past few days, I’ve been having a knack of writing out my feelings, experiences and just little random thoughts that would appear in my head from time to time. However, I’ve been wanting to amp it up and really improve my journaling life. I stumbled across junk journling. I’d see people collect the randomest of things, from receipts to bottle caps, to even clothing tags; which in my head, it just looked like junk to me. However, the end result of these junk entries always turned out to be so beautifully put together. It gave the journal personality, and even made the journal entries look more raw. I was in awe. I have not started yet, but i’ve already been collecting some things such as train tickets, reciepts, sticker, and postcard. I didn’t realize how many creative entries can be used with such things. Hello? It’s even more environmentally friendly. Things that one would just throw away after one use, can be reused and collected as a memento. I can’t wait to partake in this activity, and i’ll probably start posting it on here too.

junk journaling!

junk journaling! it’s almost like your own personal zine where you can dump all your memories. it’s pretty low effort and you can use anything and everything you have on hand :)

one thing at a time

just move towards one thing that makes you happy, one go at a time. if it becomes a pattern, think about what it is about the thing that makes you happy. move towards it, one diy, one event, one forum at a time. also know that you can reinvent yourself hundreds of times in this lifetime, so goals are arbitrary. what matters is that you spend most of your days with at least a bit or a lot of joy. oh also remembering that your career ≠ what fulfils you. sometimes we work just to have $$ to do what we really want to do (cook/draw/knit/make music etc). in the end, your life will be made up of many small moments, so just try to enjoy yourself. at least that’s how i do it :)

ingredient prep day

once a week i clean out my fridge of anything old and crusty, then i go get groceries. when i get back i have a clean space to work in and then i chop and prep for like 2 hrs. just a bunch of side dishes/prep for cooking later. simple stuff like preparing minced garlic, hard boiling eggs, etc. can be as fancy as you want or as simple. makes me happy for the rest of the week :)
