Absolutely in love with my May theme. Having a reeeeal tough ass time at the moment and drawing and colouring little pictures has been (almost) relaxing and definitely a good outlet.
This month I was inspired to be more bold and creative, and to invest more time and effort into having fun with my spreads. I used to think I would enjoy it less if I spent too much time on designing things or tried too hard, because I do get frustrated if things don’t turn out how I pictured. But I really enjoyed designing this and colouring it in and I think it looks very effective.
I found that spending more time on the design of my spreads can be a really good way to explore my creativity and experiment with colours and shapes in a useful way without getting frustrated that my drawing isn’t good enough or that it doesn’t look like someone else’s. I feel like with a bullet journal it’s not final: there’s always next week. And it doesn’t have to look like someone else’s; it only has to look like mine.
