Missing Writing

Stationery Love

(Stationery Love by brimalotke)
One of the things I think I've been missing in my life recently is just writing for me. I used to write all the time, whether it was my blog, a journal, or poetry. I'd write all the time and whenever I could. Recently between my jobs and starting to get back in shape and stuff I've kind of quit writing for fun.

I started a bullet journal to help pull me back into writing. My bullet journal isn't quite the typical version, it's very much me. It's a lot of collages, notes, pictures, and bits of stories from my days. I'm keeping track of habits and schedules (work, gym, cooking) as well as goals and ambitions. For my goals, I have reading lists and healthy goals (think gym time and food habits). As for my ambitions, they're more long-term goal related and further into the future. If I wasn't limited by location, where would I want to work and if I could plan out vacations and more traveling where could I go in the next few years; just things like that and other ideas. Overall I would say my bullet journal isn't really a bullet journal, but it's more like short diary entries, a lot of lists, a lot of collages, and just ideas and thoughts. In the end, it's something I love and it's definitely helping me get back in touch with writing. 


I'm considering trying to write a book of some kind. At first, I thought poetry, but now I'm thinking short stories or something in French. We'll see what happens! Always an adventure.
