A quick reminder that the bullet journal method was designed as a disability tool by a person with ADD. It's meant to be practical, and can be helpful especially to neurodivergent folks. Don't let the Instagram pictures or grind culture make you believe you cannot use it. The method will not work for everyone of course, but it is largely what you make of it.
instead of avoiding or numbing your pain, embrace and understand it. let it lead you to a better state of being 🌸✨🫧
i hope something makes you smile today 💌💕🌻🥰
Donna’s Inspirational Journal - Day 26!
JOURNALING!
JOURNALING JOURNALING JOURNALING!!
Damn that word looks so weird when you see it repeated 💀
ANYWAY!
Cannot stress how important journaling can be when you just don’t know what to do anymore. I hate to admit it and I’m sure most people do as well but the human brain can only take so much. Everyone has a limit and there’s nothing wrong with that. But don’t pass out trying to finish a marathon with no water breaks you know what I’m sayin?
Sometimes (recently) I’ve actually felt embarrassed about journaling. I know nobody is gonna look and I don’t even go back and read my entries, but it can feel embarrassing to see your thoughts on paper. It’s true! Sometimes I feel that my problems are pretty stupid once they’re on paper but it’s really important to get out of your head.
I garuntee you will most likely go mad if you keep running in a circle about your bad thoughts and fears and anxieties all day long. Getting something off your brain and physically onto paper is extremely relieving. So- just give it a go. Doesn’t have to be in a book. Grab some spare paper, write something, and even throw it away after if you want
Just give it a shot!
soft reminder: trust that your strength will carry you through the process and that your breakthrough is just around the corner 💌🦋🌻🌈🌤️🫧💕
You are golden.

It's not easy to explain,
What you're feeling,
All the time,
Sometimes it's a mixed bag of emotions,
And no one word "happy" or "sad" isn't enough to describe,
The storms inside your heart,
Take my advice,
And let yourself feel,
Sometimes just let go,
Let your emotions fall free,
Embrace them,
It's okay to feel alot,
All Feelings are valid,
You're not alone,
Breathe,
Admire your complex heart,
Which has the ability to feel so much at once,
Take it all in or let it go,
Do whatever your heart demands,
Just remember always,
Never undermine, what you feel,
Never invalidate your feelings,
All feelings are valid✨

Hey writers, this is your casual reminder that there is no shame in being self-indulgent and writing what you want to write!
If you want to write a superhero vs giant robots story taking place in outer space, that’s totally okay! If you want to write unhappy endings it’s 100% valid.
If you want to write a certain part of your WIP that you’re not at yet right now you can do that too! If you want to go off and explore something that’s not immediately relevant to your project, that’s fine and valid.
Give yourself permission to write what you like, and to have a lot of fun with it!
I’m testing out the difference between wax-based vs oil-based color pencils for an upcoming video I’m planning.
Here’s a lil timelapse using polychromos!
