Right now I’m reading Favorite Poems of Emily Dickinson. I definitely need to get started but I’m currently still procrastinating my AP homework.

I’ve had a lot on my mind for the past couple of days. Classes have started again and I still haven’t gone to a single one. Sometimes I get anxious about being around people, especially if I go through a period of time where I’m not around a lot of people. My campus was basically a people desert for spring break and now that everyone is back it’s just really overwhelming. It didn’t help that today was a nasty day weather-wise. We had snow showers, which basically means one minute the sun was shining and the next minute I couldn’t see the building across the way from my own. All of the combined anxiety, internal reflection, and weather kept me inside and in bed all day. It wasn’t until Anthony messaged me about racquetball that I decided I should get out of bed and go outside at least once. I lifted weights for about a half hour and then we played racquetball for 40 minutes. After not working out for two weeks I feel like I lost a lot of my progress. Having a cold definitely didn’t help and I struggled a lot with breathing today. I’m hoping that this week I can remind my body of where we were and what we were doing before I took a break and I can get back on track.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m saving these Decomposition Notebooks until school starts again. They’re just too pretty to use!

I’ve been lowkey collecting Decomposition notebooks whenever I find ones that I like at my university's bookstore. For a while, I didn’t want to use them because I didn’t think I had anything worth writing in such beautiful notebooks. Usually, my notes for classes don’t fill up a whole notebook and I hate wasting the paper. I really didn’t want to use one of these notebooks and only get a quarter to halfway through it, so they’ve been sitting on my bookshelf at home for a while. This past semester, in my fiction senior thesis we had to journal in a composition notebook. I ended up filling mine halfway through the semester and realized that the one sure way I’d fill up a notebook is by using it as a journal! So now I’m journaling in my Decomp. notebooks!

I also have a Live in Wonder journal. I received it as a gift after I graduated from high school. After reading through the first few pages and then looking at some of the prompts I was sad because I didn’t have a lot of experiences worth writing about. Earlier this month, when I was done with finals I was looking at my bookshelves seeing if there was anything to do. I ended up thumbing through this journal. I read some of the prompts and instantly thought of things to write about. In my three years at college I’ve had so many worthwhile experiences, and now I have things to write about in my Live in Wonder journal! I’ve started answering prompts, and I’m going to take it back to school with me. The nice thing about it is that the prompts inspire you to recall positive things. The first one is literally recalling a moment that you were in wonder. They’re inspirational and make you focus on something positive, at least for a little while. I’m hoping that if I keep it with me at school I can force myself to think of a positive memory at least once a day, and maybe focusing on the good will help make my current living situation less stressful.

I finally filled up my journal and have moved on to this beauty! Very excited about the writing and ideas to come! 

I usually identify my journals with different phases in my life. I started my last one in the fall semester when I was going through a lot. I was very depressed and hopeless and I feel like that translated into some of my writing. As I moved forward in the journal and into 2018 I think my writing started to change, and so did my focus with the journal. I have so many notes about publishing, about writing, and a lot of future plans written out in the second half. It’s something I look forward to continuing in this journal. 

To emotional growth and writing from a good place!
