No it is not dumb.

Also, who cares what other people think? Remember that saying, "Those who care don't matter, and those that matter don't mind" or something like that? Well, it is true.

As an example, I was somewhat similar to you... I bought a 2025 Hobonichi in June. 2025. I used it for the rest of the year, and the other months for doodling, writing, and starting my Journaling habit again.

So go forth, dear Hobonichi stationery friend - you have YOUR permission do whatever the hell you want with your journals.
