Fat girls are beautiful. Big bellies, double chins, theyāre not flaws. Donāt let society get you thinking they are flaws. Fat women are vilified and hated by so many, and itās completely undeserved. We are beautiful. Especially to my fellow fat trans girls out there, youāre beautiful and donāt let anyone make you feel pressured into changing your body. What you do with your body is your decision and donāt let others influence that. Eat what you want, wear what you want. Be who you are unashamedly.

I woke up feeling grateful for yesterdayās snow day, todayās delayed start, a careful and thoughtful school administration, boots that keep my feet warm and dry, and a garage that protects my car. Iām going to carry all of this gratitude even though I feel grumpy over getting rear ended this morning.Ā
Iām fine, my car is mostly fine, itās just now the process of filing claims and getting my car fixed.Ā
Iām having a hard time not spending money on journaling supplies like stickers, washi tape, and ephemora. I want to be like mochibujo and create beautiful spreads.Ā
All I want to do is buy this Hubman and Chubgirl Plants Box Set for $90 but I am COMMITTED to my No Spend January.Ā
Last night I sat on the couch and put everything I wanted from every online shop in shopping baskets... then saved them all to my Pinterest. Maybe when January is up, if Iām feeling comfortable spending (Iām also considering doing a No Spend Quarter - three months, no spending), Iāll buy myself the box.
However I also sent the link to my boyfriend. Letās see if he picks up what I put down lol.Ā
This is the first chapter of this small series of posts all about journaling. The idea of journaling can be very broad, and the goal of this first post is to list different types of journals one might have. I will probably miss something so feel free to add any type you might use that I didn't include. Here's my list with a small description of each.
Bullet journal: it is my personal preference for planning and tracking habits, but you can include so much into it. A lot of people like to use it for drawings and daily entries as well, but I prefer to keep it for the planning side of things. It's also home to all my lists and brain dumps. What I love about it is the fact that depending on what is going on in my life I can create exactly the type of spread I need. I have a few posts dedicated to bullet journal you can find on this blog.
Personal journal: This would be your typical journal in which your write daily entries depending on what you want to get out of it. You can also follow specific sets of prompts to reflect on spefic topics. It can be a place of self reflection, but also a place in which you get off your shoulders all things that are weighting you down. It's super versatile and it can shift depending on what you need the most in each moment of your life.
Reading journal: you could track your reads on your bullet journal (which I did for a while and I could do a specific post about it if you are interested), but having one specific place for it allows you to add so much. You can track what you read and when, you can annotate afterthoughts, as well as notes on what you are reading. It's a nice way to keep track of the books you buy, the books you'd like to get, to create TBRs, and to plan reading challenges.
Brain Dump journal: as I mentioned I often include my brain dumps in my bullet journal, but I like to always have a tiny notebook to keep around to annotate everything that has no specific place. Ideas, informations, even post-its that might will turn out useful in the future. I put everything in it with no particular order, and then I try to regularly check it to migrate informations to their proper place, cross anything I might not need anymore and so on. I think it's super useful especially if you use a small notebook you can bring around more easily than your bullet journal.
Art journal / sketchbook: This is very simply a notebook dedicated to art, it doesn't have to be necessarly just drawings. I am trying to learn how to have more fun with my art journal by gluing in things, and just be creative with no rules and no aims other than to have fun.
Writing journal: a while back I posted on my reading journal, you can read it here. This is basically where I write down ideas and plans for stories I want to write. I sometimes use it to write first drafts too, and personally I prefer writing the first draft by hand. You can also use it to help tracking your writing goals, as well as the things that inspired each piece of your writing.
Additional journal ideas (some of this could also be used as spread ideas in your personal journal or bullet journal):
quote journal
playlist journal
a journal in which you collect all articles and pieces of writing you find interesting or inspiring
a journal on a specific topic that interests you
a journal dedicated to your diy/hobby (if you make projects and plans for an hobby like crocheting, or baking, or whatever it could be nice to keep a journal to collect everything)
a target language journal: this can be both a grammar/exercise journal, but also a journal in which you practice your target language by writing in said language
I feel like all these types of journals could be indimidating, the one thing about this I should say is you shouldn't feel forced to divide your journals. You could keep in the same journal many things. A lot of people write journal entries in their bullet journal, I persoanlly used to keep reading spreads in my bullet journal before I had a reading journal, and in the future I might go back to that if I don't feel like keeping an entire journal dedicated to reading. What I am saying is experiment, find what works for you and keep in mind that that might change depending on where you are in life. Journals should be beneficial for you, whether you use them to stay organized, to let go of thoughts or simply for taking time to be artistic. There are no rules, I will repeat this a lot, but it's important. There's not wrong in journaling as long as you are having fun and finding it somewhat useful. Get out of your comfort zone, try new things, be messy, do whatever feels right.

I started a new gratitude journal the other day. Morning and night I get to log my gratitude in a beautiful notebook. This morning, I wrote that I am grateful for the kind, respectful, and welcoming students at my school. They are also endlessly entertaining - I have a study hall full of juniors who are just singing random Spanish songs and laughing. A good break for good minded students.Ā
