It is my fourth journal installment and third attempt at traditional “journaling.” Remember how we were all so hyped for 2020? Like, “new decade, new me” vibes were everywhere. Everyone was doing their decade recaps, and I was excited to start fresh with a new journal! Even though I hadn’t finished my first two, I thought it was the perfect time to try again. I was super pumped!

This was honestly my favorite journal ever! I made the front cover with all my favorite stickers (yes, featuring Snoopy—I’m a huge fan!). It was pink—my favorite color—cute, and totally brand new. You know how shiny new things give you that little endorphin boost? That’s exactly how this notebook made me feel. I was so excited to start! I even bought new stickers to go along with it… but we all know what happened that year! 😮‍💨

I kept trying to fill it up, partly because I’d post snippets here on the blog in my monthly recaps. But that year was a total mess, even though we spent most days indoors! The big excitement faded into boredom and eventually, total laziness.

I started wondering if maybe daily journaling just wasn’t for me. So the year after, I tried a weekly format—yep, another attempt. But hey, that’s a story for another time. The saga continues!
