take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.
I aspire to have this collection of journals when i’m older
About 200 journals/ sketchbooks from 1999-2016.
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
Jirokichi Suzuki is the textbook definition of a clout chaser and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Local 70 something rich old man has beef with a 17 years old because he doesn't like when things are not about him

it arrived and i’m too scared to write in it
OK new game. Use this website to see how common your first name is, and then put that number in the tags.
EDIT: This isn’t my website, so I can’t say how accurate it is. It’s just a fun tool to play around with. Sorry if your name doesn’t show up! :[
