Why I Love Junk Journaling

Journaling has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s more than just putting words on paper—it’s a way to express creativity, document memories, and find a sense of peace.

Journaling allows me to explore my thoughts freely and turn them into something beautiful. Whether I’m writing, doodling, collaging, or painting, each page becomes a personal work of art. Junk journaling, in particular, has given me a way to blend my love for storytelling with mixed media, creating something unique every time I open my journal.

Life moves fast, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up. Journaling gives me a chance to slow down, reflect, and process my emotions. Whether I’m jotting down my thoughts, writing about my day, or expressing gratitude, it helps me feel more connected to myself.

There’s something special about flipping through old journal pages and reliving past experiences. I love keeping ticket stubs, pressed flowers, notes, and little keepsakes from different moments in my life. Every journal feels like a time capsule—filled with memories, emotions, and creativity.

In a world where everything is digital, journaling offers a refreshing break. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I get to cut, paste, write, and create with my hands. It’s a tactile, immersive experience that feels incredibly rewarding.
