“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:
quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.
definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.
lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.
maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.
photos
take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.
illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.
newspaper clippings from the day.
tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.
postcards
records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.
rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.
count. there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.
mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.
collages
pressed leafs and flowers
your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.
recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.
stickers
comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

I wrap myself in your jacket,
As if I can feel your presence with me.
I wrap myself in your jacket,
As if my racing heart and the storms in my head get calm
I wrap myself in your jacket,
As if your scent will linger around me and trigger the nostalgia.
I wrap myself in your jacket,
As if your arms are wrapped around me.
I wrap myself in your jacket and wish it was you instead.
Hii Tumblr people,
This is my first post on this account or this app in general. I came here with the intention of expressing myself, whether in my own words, in other's words, pictures, thoughts, feelings and much more.
I am turning 20 this year. I've seen and heard people say that your 20s are made just for you..that you should spend it alone to discover yourself. And, I want to do just that but I also want to record it. Leave some type of memory about it behind.
I've tried Journaling but I guess it's just not for me. So here I am. Ready to embark and happy to receive you people's support.
I love him in a way,
Inexplicable by my soul.
I love him in a way,
That can only be felt.
I love him in a way,
Where peace and chaos coexist.
I wish I could turn back time,
To when we had our first connection.
I would write our story all over again,
But this time with more experience.
You're lonely?
You mean you write down all your feelings in a journal or as a note in your phone because you have no one to pour them out to who can truly understand you.

Hii Tumblr People! Last night was full of emotions for me. The person I love is not well and it worries me to the core. I've been trying my best to be with him and I'll continue to do so. However, I really wish he gets better quickly. It makes me sick when he is sick too. His jacket is the only thing that gives me comfort when I feel sick like this.
Besides that, I've had online classes and I'm trying my best to catch up with my revisions. Fun fact about me: I do accounting.
I used to be this happy soul with a goofy personality.
Now I look at people around me and wonder how they are able to smile in this chaotic world.

I made myself some Shin Ramyun and some coke as lunch. Very unhealthy I know but at least my tummy is happy😋
Oh to be a hopeless romantic in an unrequited love
Ig: @shuux27 Just a kitsune turning 20 and wanting to record her 20s.
