i love my journals. especially now because everything is online it is a great chance to hold something real and write!
i keep two- one for photos (a junk journal/scarpbook) and one for just my handwriting. it’s not a diary, there are a lot of personal entries tho. it’s more of a book for my daily thoughts and experience. whatever i need to write down! i study french in there, memorize lines, make to do lists, and doodle too! it takes the stress of the book away and lets me to really use it since there’s no limits!
it’s also a great place to keep my stickers and postcards…all the stuff you want to keep and don’t know what to do with!
