The first chapter in my 2025 journal~ reading and reflecting in January °~

[@shojofreshman]

Your pages always inspire me so much, now I look forward to every new video 😊 hope you’re able to have a good rest and look forward to making videos again when you’re in the mood for it. I’m really enjoying my first month in my cousin. I should take your advice and not limit using my ephemera just on the day it was acquired.

I'm catching up on videos after a busy few weeks and was really looking forward to catching up with yours. Sorry to hear January has been so difficult. I was also surprised by My Year Of Rest and Relaxation. I read it mid year last year and still haven't quite figured out how I feel about it - but the fact I still think about it says a lot.

January is such an odd in between at times, I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been treating you right. The fisherman at sea ink is gorgeous. Wishing you and your partner a happy year of the snake!

Thank you for this cozy catch up. 😊 I’m so sorry January has been difficult. I can empathize, as the lack of sunlight in the winter significantly affects my mental health. Sending warmth & loving kindness your way. I’m glad you’re taking care of you, and setting lovely healthy boundaries regarding your filming and posting. 💛 We’ll be here whenever you feel like filming. 😊

Hi! Re your dissertation , I don t know if you have read The Notebook A History of Thinking of Paper by Roland Allen , but I think the chapter about Journaling as self care should be interesting to read. He quotes research in psychology. Have a nice evening!
