Hello, I'm Iris. This is a little blog that I made to use as a digital diary, a place to reflect on myself, and also to post my journal pages. Feel free to send me asks/requests for themed journal pages, and just interact with me in general. I love hearing your thoughts.

[TAGGING SYSTEM]

#foxjournals: posting my journal pages

#the pages are alive: me talking about myself, my mental health, slice-of-life diary entries etc.

#otherjournals: reblogging other people's journal pages etc.

very random journaling/diary keeping advice, but since i’ve never had consistency with what i post, here’s some stuff that’s helped me keep a semi-constant journal since 6th grade:

if you’re feeling too tired for sentences, bullet points (like this!) are fun

take note not just what you’ve been doing, but what you’ve been thinking about that day

if you want to, you can revisit past events even if it has nothing to do with the day (just make sure to mark down the approximate date of that past day for lack of future confusion)

write down lists of books/movies/tv shows or music you’ve read/seen/heard and your opinion about them

mix-up your standard format with colorful or unusual pencils/pens, adding in doodles/stickers/cutouts of stuff, writing vertically

every few months, word-vomit about anything that feels significant/important at that time of your life and don’t worry about consistency

occasionally write in 2nd person to yourself

cut up a paper bag and tape together a DIY cover for the book. the shittier it looks the more spirit it will have, and in general, i write more honestly when you don’t have to live up to how professional the journal’s cover looks

swear. it’s very therapeutic.

go back and annotate stuff you’ve written ages ago as if your present self has traveled back in time to meet your past self and challenge/comfort them

I've never been good at journaling or writing down thoughts. However I bought some embossed stickers and washi tapes and I unlocked my potential.

Since I was a kid I've always treasured jealously my stickers, not using them cause I thought they were to beautiful to be wasted. But now it's time to let go of this way of thinking, I want to use those stickers and colourful tapes as much as I want.

So I grabbed this gorgeous notebook and started with the first organs and structures that came up to my mind, lungs (page before), mediastinum and thyroid.

Maybe I'll post more pictures as I keep going, it really relaxes me taking some time to draw and colour.
