Jotting down on the first page of a book when and where I got it, and each year I re-read it
Feels very telling of who I have been and what I love

I’ve been writing a lot lately! In my journal, for publications, long emails to friends. It’s quite wonderful. I love going back to read what I wrote too. I love going back to those moments. sometimes I write peoples names and what I appreciate about them, sometimes I write what I want to achieve in that month, sometimes I write book reviews or film reviews or whatever it is I feel the need to write about in that time. I recently wrote about what my city sounds like and I wonder if those sounds will change. If or when they do, I’ll get to go back to that piece and remember - or when I leave this city I’ll have that article as a reminder and I’ll be able to travel back in time. It’s documenting history.

I keep all my journals in a big plastic box under my bed. The Artist’s Way instructs you to read your journals at the end of the course, and it was the first time I’d really done that and now I love occasionally going back a few months or so! You can see patterns, find old ideas or good bits of writing to use somewhere else. At the end of 2023 I read through my entire years worth of journals and did “A Year in Diary Excerpts” on my substack, it was amazing to see the progression throughout the year, and it may as well be an advert for ADHD medication the way it shows how much better it made me!

I swear by Virtue. Everything is infused with keratin and then you get the added bonus of what you want in a product eg smoothing/volume/curl etc.
