I haven’t been doing well physically today so I’ve just been drawing and journaling and decided to start a digital anime journal! I do love making spreads physically but when I can’t print things out, I think having this will be a great alternative!

My first spread is about A Sign of Affection which I just finished watching the episodes out with my mom last night! She even wants to read the manga now too which makes me happy haha. I’m currently on volume 4 of the manga and I’m in love with it! The story, the art style, the characters, everything!

qotd: “stay with your pain, and instead of shrinking away from it, use it to forge another path into life.” the dark interval by Rainer Maria Rilke

I love collecting ‘memories’ in the form of little scraps, like tickets, notes and postcards. The downside is that I’ve got boxes full of scraps that I still need to sort through and paste in a scrapbook. I’ve been putting this off for YEARS! 😭

realizing I do love this little life and living it like my own studio ghibli movie

Thursday, November 30

So it’s been a little bit since I’ve posted… Things have been rocky, and navigating my health problems, physical and mental, have kept me from doing the things I want to do. But with the holidays, I’ve had some time to reflect and take a break with family, so now I think I’ve found a better balance of things, and I would like to try to return to not only my studies, but my other hobbies like journaling and reading. So since there is no better day than today to start, I’ve picked up my books and textbooks, and made a plan for the day. I woke up and journaled for a bit ( not pictured ) and then began to review my japanese notes I took a while ago from a cool website I found called Imabi. It’s already introduced a lot of cool information I have not learned yet, and it’s definitely motivating me to keep going. I also wanted to share a page from my anime journal I made a bit ago that I still have to write in, but I’m really happy with how it turned out! I started skip and loafer and it’s quickly becoming a favorite manga of mine, so I highly recommend :)

I hope you are well.
