Junk journaling blues
Hi, Lemon8. 👋
Today I decided to junk journal? journal? I don't know what to call it anymore. It's been two months since I last junk journaled about anything. It's not that I ran out of ideas, cause I always have ideas flowing but I literally lost my spark.
I think it all started when I went to a junk journal workshop a couple months back. I was really excited about putting myself out there and being around other people with the same interests. I really liked the workshop and felt like I had made a connection with the girls who attended the workshop. Which made me really happy at the time as I was excited about making some new friends and stuff. But it seems like they didn't think about it in the same way. Which is fine. I can't force people to like me or want to be friends. It just... kind of sucked. I felt like maybe it was me. Maybe I just wasn't out going enough? maybe I was just... weird? I'm not going to lie. It really messed with my non-existing self esteem.
Since then, i've been learning to just do things on my own. Maybe i'm just not meant to have friends, or maybe right now isn't the right time? at least that's what's been on my mind as of lately. Regardless, I was really happy when today, I just felt motivated? inspired? I don't know. So I made this very simple, badly made spread, but I did it. Finally got back to a hobby that I love and have missed doing! I'm not blaming anyone btw, just myself for not being strong mentally.
