intro post

you can call me Elle, I'm an 18 year old senior (class of 26) and a thought daughter to my very core. I figured why not make a blog to talk about my journal and some of the writing I do in said journal. Also just to track my progress on certain things

I'm here to just share my progress in both journaling and in terms of studying and bettering myself.

I'm currently working my way through my very first journal, so I'm still new to this whole thing.

I'd love to chat!

P.S. I follow from my main (shitposting) blog, @lyre-not-liar

A New Era

Everyone say hello to my third journal, Soleil!

I love her omg I’m excited to be writing

[thought-daughter-hours]

early morning journal session with Maude… who only has 5 more pages left. It’s so crazy to think I only have a couple more days with her and then it’s onto a new era

Sunday reset ✨

Time-blocked the main tasks for the week (very few, the semester hasn't started yet) and planned tomorrow's schedule. Also wrote down my weekly meals and grocery list

I didn't meal-prep or do chores this weekend, so tomorrow morning that will be tackled first thing 🤞🏼

hit page 100 of Maude today 💋

Where do you buy your journals?

(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

oh I buy my journals from 3 main stores.

Tj Maxx has some of the best journals for such a cheap price. It’s a gamble though because sometimes they’re crazy ugly.

barnes and noble also has some super cool ones, but they’re a bit more expensive

and Amazon is the other popular one for me. Specifically tiefossi’s storefront on there.

2025 Journaling Wrapped

Well my friends. We've made it! It's 2026! Which also happens to be my graduating year, which I am so excited for.

To celebrate the New Year, here are the journaling stats I have from this year.

For reference I only started journaling on May 26th of 2025, so I don't have quite as much as I would have if it was the full year but it is what it is.

Number of completed journals: 1

Number of in progress journals: 1

Total number: 2

Pages Written: 476

Journals in my collection (used): 0 (Not including the ones used in 2025)

Journals in my collection (unused): 9

Here are Barbara (left) and Maude (right)

It's been a wonderful year and I'm so glad that I got a good majority of 2025 documented to look back on in the future. It's been such a gigantic comfort <3

Trying To Decide What Journal Is Next...

Whew! Maude is flying by faster than I was ever prepared for, and I forsee me only having about another month or two with her, which is sad. This does however mean that I have the time and the foresight to do a little tournament of sorts. Just for fun, based on my current un-used journal collection and let Tumblr help me decide just which notebook to use! I just love them all so dearly it's hard to decide.

So I'll attach a picture of two journals side by side and let you pick which one you guys like and advance them through!

Here's the first one:

Pardon the glare, I know it's actually horrible.

Please consider reblogging for a sample size relatively large, I'll leave this open for a week before doing another poll!

i think it’s wonderful how keeping a notebook can significantly change your life, giving you a greater sense of security and peace of mind for me, it feels like the world comes without an instruction manual, so i decided to make my own, gathering information, venting, even decorating and filling it with everything i feel is necessary to keep functioning
