I am a pretty obsessive documenter. I seem to have bad memory, which got me into keeping record of things as much as i can. I’ll be taking photos on my iphone, videos on my camcorder (for onion vlogs i make every month), and i keep FOUR diaries with all different purposes. 1: sorta like a gratitude journal. Simple bullet points of things i “liked, lacked, learned, longed for” and thank yous. 2: a “throw up” notebook where i throw up all my thoughts. 3: a simple scheduler thats a weekly format hobonichi. 4: an hourly day-to-day diary that i fill up retroactively to learn any patterns and habits. Kinda like self-research.

i love my journals. especially now because everything is online it is a great chance to hold something real and write!
i keep two- one for photos (a junk journal/scarpbook) and one for just my handwriting. it’s not a diary, there are a lot of personal entries tho. it’s more of a book for my daily thoughts and experience. whatever i need to write down! i study french in there, memorize lines, make to do lists, and doodle too! it takes the stress of the book away and lets me to really use it since there’s no limits!
it’s also a great place to keep my stickers and postcards…all the stuff you want to keep and don’t know what to do with!

If not every day then just when you can, half the time I’m lying and a day behind playing catch-up. Anything I don’t want to tell a real person, dishing all gossip but also a general recap of my day etc. Great if you don’t trust your long term memory, because I sure don’t! I started months ago but got serious about it before new year’s. I’ve been consistent and it’s as close as I can get to free therapy, other than venting into the void!
(the void doesn’t remember for you though) :/

i know it's basic but keeping a daily journal has been one of the most grounding things in my life. you don't need to shell out $$$ on a travelers' notebook and a snazzy pen, but just repeating the daily act of physically writing your thoughts down is a wonderful thing. i keep a daily recollection/diary sort of thing along with a sort of freeform commonplace book where i jot down thoughts or lyric ideas or cool words i read and had to look up definitions of. it's nerd shit but the sort of positive affirming nerd shit that everyone needs at least a little bit of. also the amount of stuff you forget over the course of a week/month/year is astounding -- doing this is fun in part because you can read through your past entries (good and bad) again with fresh eyes.

I’ve been used to suppressing myself my whole life that i find it difficult to know how im actually feeling or what im actually thinking sometimes. It made it harder to love myself or do things that are good for me. But i always knew how to show love and care to others around me. i realized (quite recently) that i can show the same love and care if i treat myself like another person. I’ll just be sitting down listening to her(me) for a long time, no judgement. It’s a seemingly simple act, but something i havent made the space for until now

I’ve been cooking more and trying to order delivery less if poss.. But when i do order food its HERE. i would eat kimbap from Kimbap labs 7 days out of the week if i could. My go-to order is the “Spicy Pork Kimbap Roll” - it’s a roll with a generous amount of Jaeyookbokkeum style pork in it. My choice of side is kimchi(which the kimchi here slaps) and for sauce i highly recommend the seaweed purée.

In my downtime i like to have vlogs playing. Sometimes vlog on my iphone, anime on my ipad at the same time. Some of my recent favs have all been small business owners, mostly younger femmes. Here are some of my recs: Radia Rahman, Uncomfy Co, Megan Wang
