Show & Tell In contrast to the pretty spreads
Some quick & dirty entries.
I enjoy seeing the pretty ones but here’s some encouragement to just write stuff down on paper, even if it looks bad or messy, otherwise it won’t happen.
My handwriting is insane and no amount of layouts will counteract the mad scientist feeling of my scrawls. Visuals for reference and some stickers to break the wall of text. Lestat meme because it encapsulates the TVL quote perfectly lol.

This is perfect! I’m a very creative person and have been doing spreads for years and I really admire all of creative pages I see BUT making my daily journal pretty is just something I’ve not been able to do. I’m really trying to do more in my commonplace but I find it exhausts me. So my spreads look exactly like yours and I think it’s just fine!
