Loved seeing the evolution of your journals! I appreciate seeing blank pages and "less than aesthetic" pages because it makes it feel more realistic to journal and not feel like it always has to be a perfect spread!

Thank you!! Yes exactly, I don’t want it to seem like every spread has to be perfect, spending time journaling is the most important part 🥰

Me too. I love seeing scribbles, receipts, doodles, every day momentos like tags, etc. different ink colors rather than a perfect spread.

We journal very similar. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has functional and blank pages alongside the pretty ones 😊

Yesss agreed! I don’t see that much but that’s how I journal 😄

Hello, Emily! I love seeing your journal evolution because it helps me see that it's totally normal to have "less aesthetic" pages! :)

Hi Belle!! Definitely, it’s totally normal and okay, and actually encouraged!! 😄

I love your journal! I also like the leuchtturm 1817 journals as my main bullet journal. Your pages at the beginning look a lot like I started ❤ It is so comforting to see that we can perfectly be consistent while not having a consistent style.

Thank you so much Kathryn 💕😄

I use past pages as pen test, washi swatches and random doodles. So that’s not weird at all

That's such an amazing news of you getting to be a brand ambassador of Leuchtturm 1917. It was my first ever journal when I started and still is my main journal now. I just like the right amount of warmness of the paper, I get too distracted when the paper is too white/cooler tone. I am not even halfway of my journal and we're already in November 😆 But, I'm okay with it. I learned to accept the days that I don't have the energy to journal and also, mixing the years together if it doesn't get done in one. 💗

Thank you so much! So happy to hear you love them too ☺️ Yess exactly, journaling when you feel up for it and accepting that your journal may hold more than one year is a great attitude to have! You don't want to force it and burn yourself out!! Thank you for the thoughtful comment and I hope you continue to love your Leuchtturm!!!💖

Add me to the bullet journal failure support group. LOL I turned it into a regular/creative journal not long ago, and tore out the few bullet journal pages I'd made that were just sitting there...unused. For years. LOL I feel your pain. 😂Loved seeing how your journaling evolved throughout the years! 🥰

Do any of your fountain pens fit in the pen loop without damage?

Hi Ramona! That pen loop is too small for fountain pens but I have seen the XL Pen Loop from Leuchtturm1917 fits fountain pens no problem! I have that one coming in the mail and I’ll likely do a review at some point, but check out Leuchtturm1917 Canada’s IG where they just posted a Reel about it!

I don't stick to one type of journaling for the same reason. Different seasons in my life requires more attention to function than decor. Your journal feels more authentic to me because it isn't uniform all the way through. I appreciate those who can keep theor journals gorgeous from beginning to end, but honestly, I can't. And I'm a sticker girl. That's all I'm willing to do.
