Journal throwback + Tips on personal journaling

Hello, readers! Last time, I mentioned we are on an ongoing project at home – de-cluttering and redesigning our room – to make space for Toyo. And guess where we are now…..uhm yeah still there. (Lol)

During the past holidays, I had time to re-scan my old journals I found during the clean-up. Why the hell I write on journals??? There are things that are too personal to share, but nothing for my daily journals. I write everything in them. They’re like an “idea dump” notebook, except those are not just ideas, but are my actual and most honest thoughts, feelings, and personal stories.

 

It’s really just cute and touching (and funny, tbh) reading old stories from your past self. May mga problema kasi talaga noon na tatawanan mo nalnag talaga ngayon. And it’s also cute reading stories from your past love. Some are inspiring, they can also make your treasure your current love life as well.

My favorite parts though are the doodles and letterings and paintings. Oh yes, I really love colors more than writing (uhm??).

Coming from a journal lover, it really is a challenge to maintain a daily journal. I’ve been trying to make it an everyday habit, but I always failed. Learning from all my journaling experiences, I learned making it an everyday task is just not worth it. Especially for myself who runs a life of the “usual everydays”.

Update whenever you feel like doing so.

Make it a personal task.

Reflect your personality…or current mood.
