my diy journal archive <3 due to using a filofax i was naturally confronted with archiving my pages and because i couldn't really find an archive binder that's easily accessible enough to not freak me out, i've settled on this diy rings solution.

additionally i ended up taking apart all of the notebooks i had used as journals this year to add their pages to the rings archive as well, because i quite like the idea of everything being in one place.

In fairness to Dracula, who HASN’T brought snacks for a roadtrip only to go through them way too fast and end up with almost nothing for the last part of the trip?

This Filofax has become my most beloved possession. Been in it all year so far and it's so satisfying, really reaping the rewards of consistency

I used to hate it when people said the trick was to just do it until ‘do it scared’ started going around, because that’s truly it. Life didn’t start changing until I applied for jobs with one hand in front of my eyes and a trembling hand navigating my computer mouse. Or until I said everything on my mind (in moderation) with my fists clenched and my legs weak. Or until I refused to accept that I’d ‘just’ be shy forever while also kind of being nauseous at the idea of trying to be the opposite. Two things can coexist and that’s exactly the point of believing that you can do anything.
