what do you think of an alignment chart where the y-axis answers the question "How well do they manage what they are doing?" (efficiency) and the x-axis "How cool do they look while doing it?" (swag). My friend and I spent two hours working on this and really it's a scale from Sniff (bottom left) to Snufkin (top right)

oh my god. something like this? dfmfsjfd. i love it

Did you hear that the Gävle goat burned down?? It made me think of you. (not as in "Ida did this" but as in "i hope Ida learns about this", just to be clear.)

i heard!!!! and i was so relieved lol

kgjfjfkg that’s so sweet and… i realize i don’t have an alibi for when it happened….

It made me really happy to see you posting stuff here, partly bc q u a l i t y c o n t e n t but mostly bc I just enjoy your presence here ♡ keep up the good work and stay safe!

tack olga!! i’ve really just been lurking in the shadows here every now and then for many years now, i feel like i’ve forgotten How To Tumblr but i’m getting there! i think.

🍓 Ida I think you're one of the first people I followed on tumblr (I found tumblr thru mugglis so you're definitely part-guilty for me being here) and i just love that life has been going on for years but we're still here doing our little thing. It's so cool getting to know little things from your life, just knowing you are somewhere, doing your best - I feel like it's a privilege to get these little secrets and to be with you all through life ♡♡♡

i’m 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ honestly you are always wayyy too lovely to me. i’m just a silly little dude… afjfjfk now im just thinking about that time. at multicon. when we were both there and i recognised you but i was too shy to say anything 😭 i should have!! you’re so incredibly compassionate and such a kind and insightful person who i admire so much.

i can only say the same, i cherish our little community so much, even tho everyone’s all grown up and we keep in touch with some more than others - i still feel like you’re my people 💕💕💕

send me a 🍓 and i’ll compliment you!

Can you believe that for WEEKS if not months I've been wondering why your posts didn't show up on my dash and it's not until now I figured I should make sure I'm actually following you?? Like after scrolling through my dash I have gone on your blog separately see what you've been up to thinking 'weird I didn't see these posts' and only this morning I realised that maybe something is wrong. Anyway I'm back now good luck with the windmill thing!

hdfhfjfj oh no!! but i s2g that happens all the time, tumblr following and unfollowing blogs for us

thanks for the refollow tho <33 and thanks the windmill thing is truly making me insane in the best way

🥺🥺❤️ olga you are the absolute sweetest ok

Hey Ida, I've been looking at the journals that keep appearing on your blog for a while and i have a question. bc i agree that they can be really pretty (and useful if nicely done), but it's also so much work?? [1/2]

[2/2] tbh I get a little stressed out thinking about doing it regularly and trying to come up with ideas and keep it looking nice. So the question is, what makes it worth it? For you, what is it with this way of organising life that makes you happy?

Ooh hello!! 

I agree, it definitely requires a lot of work (especially if you want every page to look symmetrical, organized and nice), but if there’s one thing I’ve learned since I started out, it is that if it causes more stress than joy then you should maybe think about why you’re doing it (for the tumblr posts? for yourself? to actually be organized? as an creative outlet?). I don’t always spend a lot of time journaling every day, some days have almost-blank pages and I’m fine with that, and some day’s are filled to the brim with tape and doodles because I’ve felt like it or just had the time. I wanna say there’s no right or wrong way to do it!! But yeah, to actually answer your question haha: personally I do it because it relaxes me, it makes me happy, when I have my journal and favorite pencils and stickers ready in front of me I feel like I’m in such a safe happy zone (which sounds kind of lame but idek when I’m really anxious it’s super effective cause it gives me something to do with my hands and focus on and it’s kind of productive too since I actually get things done if I write them down omg) and I don’t know, I just love being creative and feeling organized. I rarely even share photos of my own journal which takes a whole lot of the pressure away (meaning the pages doesn’t necessarily have to look 100% flawless, which the journals I reblog do) and I also don’t have to censor myself in it to not give away private information (because mine’s Very personal lmao). 

Soo tl;dr : for me, journaling is so calming, and bullet journaling / “aesthetic journaling” is just a way of being organizing that simply works really well for me ^^
