Let me know what you guys think!!!
1. I will see the World however I see fit. I will grow flowers where they've dropped bombs and deafened people// I AM HERE.
2. I am a little caught up right now.

Today I suddenly got a lot of ideas for something which I wanted to do for a very long time. I wanted to make something related to my experience regarding 10th standard, and board exams.
→ so for the first page, as you can see there are a lot of sticky notes. They are my short notes, which my dad made for me, so I grouped them together and stuck them as a border
→ I took 2 business cards, stuck them together with tape and covered it with one portion of India's political map and wrote down words or phrases that were in my mind most of the time.
→ printed out a picture of a little girl studying peacefully in a garden/backyard
→ on that page the writing part says how my parents helped me get through all the tension and how they supported me, which I am really thankful for.
→ on the next page you can see a card sort of page. It's basically a card which my class teacher, who was also my SST teacher made for each one of us, which I think is really sweet.
→ I also stuck just 3 sides of the card from inside, so that I can open it and also it becomes an envelope.
→ inside that envelope I put one waste paper which I used for career counseling aptitude test, and I loved how messy it was, so I put that in
→ another cardboard covered with ruled pages, where I wrote what that card was about
→ lastly on the last page, I briefly wrote about my teachers who taught me. I am really lucky to have teachers like them. They made all the subjects so easy, fun and understandable.
I loved making these pages, it's something different and didn't take much time to finish it (good, as I finished it during my break time).
I am not really done with those pages yet, I will ad more stuff later on, once I get more time 😌👍🏼
I just wanna feel like this happy again
~ On some days, I sorely miss creating layers in my journal. ~ 💕💕
~ Details from an old spread ~
.
Sometimes I don’t feel like clicking the whole page. At such times, I really wanted to appreciate the individual stickers, prints, washi and sequins through my photos.
~ Over the last few months, I’ve been enjoying more minimal spreads. A funny connection that I’ve observed: the more I declutter my space (clothes, books, stationery, etc.), the more cleaner and simpler my journal pages turn out. I love how content they make me feel. And here’s to the tiny sushi stickers to whom my heart belongs. ~
“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”
~ George Eliot ~

“Real time is slower than social-media time, where everything feels urgent. Real time often includes periods of silence, reflection, growth, space, self-forgiveness, processing with loved ones, rest, and responsibility."

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
