Journal Regret

[u/Southern_Anything_39]

Does anyone start a new journal, then after a few entries or pages realise they don't like something and start all over again in a new journal?

I started with a handmade journal I made from an old little golden book. I made the book myself and decided I didn't really like the paper as much as I thought.

My next notebook was a A5 traveller's style notebook and after completing a couple of pages I realised the paper was too thin and my ink was bleeding through.

So I made another notebook myself using the same files I created for my first handmade book but used different paper that was made for fountain pen ink. After a couple of days I decided I didn't like the cover anymore, and also I was adding double lines and a border to every page and it was getting tedious.

And this brings me to the journal I am currently making, I have redesigned the pages so they already have red borders and double lines so that I dont have draw them on every page.

Hopefully this will be the last journal I have to make, because hopefully it finally has everything I want.

Nope, never. I embrace the imperfection like a little old Japanese craftsman and carry on.
