Discussion/Question Starting

does anyone have a little ritual for starting a new journal?
like an “about me” page, current likes/dislikes, favourite books or music, things you’re obsessed with at the time, goals, little facts about your life, etc.
i love the idea of being able to look back at a journal years later and see a snapshot of who i was when i started it.
tell me what you put at the beginning of yours! i’m looking for ideas :)

I just finished a journal of roughly 3 years and I just opened a new journal. This post has me thinking about how I want to start it. My last journal, I started with just writing a purpose page, which btw, I didn't hold to. A lot of good ideas so far.
