There’s something special about starting with a simple, blank journal. Plain brown covers may not look like much at first, but with a little creativity, they can turn into something bright, personal, and encouraging.
I decided to take one of my journals and add a splash of fun—some doodled designs, cheerful colors, and finally, a few inspiring stickers to finish it off. A “Be Kind” heart, a butterfly reminding me that change is good, and a bouquet of flowers to make me smile every time I pick it up.
For me, journaling is more than just writing—it’s a creative outlet. Some days I pour my thoughts onto the page, other days I sketch or play with color. It’s not about perfection; it’s about creating a space that feels uplifting and full of possibility.
A decorated cover makes me even more excited to open it up. It becomes a little invitation to keep going, keep dreaming, and keep expressing myself.
Do you journal? Would you like to try? Whether it’s writing, drawing, or just jotting down thoughts, your journal can be as unique as you are. Maybe today’s the perfect day to make one your own!
