I have scars on my knees from when I was six, hopeful of the days that I could run free from the tangled branches enclosing my mind. They wrapped me in with faces whose eyes always slipped across mine. And then they found my legs and let me slip, numb again from yesterday's wound. I would run, all limitations abandoned, chasing the friends I wasn't close to, always branches apart from the world I was already consumed by. But I was happy. And then I would fall. It happened again and again until I saw the danger in falling, now white stretching marks across the bottom of my knees. I saw the danger in everything.
Feedback on Xournal++: I love the customizable pages, the handwriting is super comfortable and the ability to save in pdf is super handy, the file is quite light too
i had some trouble setting up the plugins to make up the keybinds, and the pen display is a little buggy, but i think the final result is quite worth the tiny struggles.
This will be specially useful with to the image insert tool, i can import tarot card images for my studies, create hand drawn mood boards and import some little arts to decor each book!
I'll for sure have one file for my grimoire and one shadow book for devotion work, but there are infinite possibilities: dream journal, tarot notebook, recipes book, herb notes, spellcraft, and each can have their own covers!
If any Witch out there wants the plugins I'm using for xournal++ just DM me and I'll send your way, this tool has a lot of potential for people like us!
Posted in a community but wanted to ask my followers as well:
I feel like keeping a digital Grimoire would be easier for me than a traditional, physical one (which i own, but i rarely feel the desire/patience/comfort to write on it)
My computer is my safe nobody else has access to, plus i own a display tablet that makes it easy to handwrite, so would anyone out there have journal app recommendations?
What I'm looking for is a Windows app, stylus compatible, that has handwriting/doodling features and AI free if possible!
Atm I'm testing xournal++ but i find the user experience a little bad (a shame, bc it checks all my boxes above in terms of journalling)
If you have an app/know of something interesting please comment or reblog, I'd love to know!
May the Gods bless you day/night! โจ

GUYZ AAJ SE DHANG SE JOURNALING KAARI HOON, wo isliye kyunki healthy dopamine options ka zindagi mein aagman hona is aavashyak๐ชท๐ชท๐ชท๐ชท๐ชท
After all the shopping and fulfilling the reason I came to another city โ to take the entrance exam โ I'm now back at the hotel, drinking green tea to digest all the heavy food that's hard to avoid while traveling. I'm also writing a few things in my pocket diary. After this, I'll study a bit, maybe some English grammar and vocabulary. I have one more test tomorrow.
I'm getting very stressed these days because my high school finals results will be declared soon. I know I didn't do well, so I just hope I pass and achieve the required percentage to get into universities. My first entrance exam didn't go well either. I plan to post everything I do โ for example, if I finish one or two topics, I'll post about it. Maybe this will satisfy my brain and give it enough dopamine so that I don't procrastinate. Tommorow, I plan to complete Set Theory, Statistics, Sequences and Series, Permutations and Combinations, and maybe Linear Equations as well if I have some time left.
My current art skills shouldn't be judged based on thisโit was drawn almost three years ago, when I was 15.
Iโve defiled the very first page of my new journalโthe one destined to be my sacred commonplace book. A grand beginning, now tainted beyond repair. Truly, my talent knows no bounds.(sarcasm, of course)
I tend to get a bit dramatic...... nevermind.
Day 5 Self Love Journal Prompts
5. What makes you happiest in life?
It depends, do you want the long list or the short list? Over all, my pets, my family, music, my friends, and my partner <3
My family has always had dogs, and we have four right now (dog tax below)! We also had hermit crabs while I was in elementary school, and I had a Goliath beetle in a terrarium, and a worm garden/compost bin that I saw as my pets, but my dad secretly used for fishing bait lol.
I'm the oldest sibling in my family, and I have two younger siblings (hi Jordan lol). I'm honestly pretty close to my family, and I'm thankful to get along with them pretty well!
I've always loved music, and I think my taste in music is pretty broad. A few of my current top picks are Lovejoy, dodie (seeing her in concert soon hopefully!), Laufey, BTS, Lemon Demon, Billy Joel, Mitski (just now getting into her music honestly), Dream, Hozier, Sleeping At Last, mxmtoon, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Lizzy McAlpine, and anything musical theatre honestly lol. I also listen to 80's music pretty often, but that's what my parents listened to when I was a kid so it's just kind of ingrained in my lol.
I'm really lucky to be in a place now where I have several close friends that I really trust and can rely on (hi Jordan (again)). I have my sister, my cousin, my college roommate, and my partner, and a lot of other friends I've made in the last few years. For a long time I've struggled with making, and mostly keeping, friendships. It's easy to be friendly and get along with people, but I have a hard time taking the next step after that, so I feel like I have a lot of "surface level" friends. I love them, and I appreciate their place in my life, but there's a lot of people I wish I was able to be closer to. Past that, I've always wrestled with feeling like even if I make friends, they won't stick around or will make "better" friends and not need me around anymore. Unfortunately I've had it happen enough times that it's a deep fear of mine, but I'm slowly working through it thanks to my current friends :)
My partner and I have been dating for 5 years, but we've known each other since we were little kids. He's been my best friend and rock, especially through the rough time periods where my friendships were really struggling. He's been there for me through thick and thin, encouraged my growth as a person, and is absolutely just the most loving, kind, adorable person. He's my person, and he makes my days better just by existing <3
Day 4 Self Love Journal Prompts
4. Your favorite personality trait
Similar to my last prompt, this one's a little difficult. I feel like half of my personality is just how I treat other people and not intrinsic qualities about myself. I'm kind, but is that a personality trait or is it just basic human decency? I guess one that isn't as dependent on others is that I'm hardworking. I struggle with executive function and motivation sometimes, but I do my best to do what's expected of me and do it well and in a timely manner. That isn't to say it's always easy, or that I manage to do it all the time, but I do my best and that's what matters!
also look at this cute coffee I got today! It's called a honey bomb, it had honey (obviously), bee pollen (was a little nervous about that ngl), vanilla syrup, and oat milk (had to double check that it was gluten free lol)! It was so good, and the drawing the barista added was adorable

How do I feel when I spend time with this person? What emotions or sensations come up for me when Iโm around them?
After being with this person, do I feel more like myselfโor less? What does my energy or mood say about the effect they have on me?
Do I feel heard and valued in our conversations, or do I often feel dismissed, interrupted, or overlooked?
When Iโm with this person, do I feel genuinely understoodโor do I feel the need to explain, justify, or hide parts of myself?
Do they do most of the talking in our conversations? How do I feel about it?
What role does this person play in my life, and what role do I play in theirs? Do these roles feel balanced? If not, how does that imbalance affect me?
In what ways do our goals and motivations align or differ, and how does that impact our connection?
Do I notice them putting me downโsubtly or directlyโto elevate themselves? Do they often try to position themselves as morally superior in our conversations? If yes, how do I respond to it when it happens?
Do I see myself sticking with them in the future? Or do I feel that I would be better without them in my life and why?
When I imagine my future, does this person fit into that vision in a healthy, supportive way? Or do I feel I would grow more freely without their presenceโand what makes me feel that?
Am I holding on to this relationship out of love, habit, fear, or hope? What would it mean for meโemotionally and practicallyโif I chose to move forward without them?
Managing relationships with people can be difficult when they aren't a right fit for you, and taking the decision to cut them out of your life or not is a hard thing to do. Hopefully these prompts can help you see things clearer when it comes to that <3

"I hate that I can't remember what she feels like anymore. I can barely imagine her at all anymore. And it feels like the love is just gone. But there's still the pain. Death is a cruel thing."
