Journaling and Stationery ✧
Like bullet journals and planners? Take a peek at the themes I've done in my journal since 2021.
I came across bullet journaling in 2018 at a time in my life when things were really difficult. I tried bullet journaling in 2019 and it gave me a way to organize everything I was doing. Feeling like I was drowning with the overwhelming tasks was common, but bullet journaling helped me manage my tasks and therefore my life.
After a couple of years, I started to see my journal not only as a place to organize, but as a place to be creative! So I started making themes, which lead me to drawing, which led me to start a sticker business.
At this point, what I do no longer counts as bullet journaling. That hugely difficult time is thankfully behind me, which means I no longer need the structure provided by the Bullet Journal Method. Instead, I keep the monthly and weekly layouts and use my journal to journal. So I may call my journal a "bullet journal," but don't come for me because I know it's technically not!

2019 and 2020
Since 2019 was the beginning of my bullet journaling, I didn't really do any themes. I didn't do any themes for 2020 either. I might have, but you know, pandemic and all. Instead, here are just a couple of highlights of spreads that I did for 2019 and 2020.
