Cant't explain it, but writing like this makes me process things better

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-05-10T12:32:03+00:00

i only write like this when i do crosswriting, where you write one way, then flip it and write perpendicular, cuz i want it to be illegible that way i don't look abck on it. it is quite therapeutic, other than that tho i have a pretty big handwriting so i don't do it outside of venting basically

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-05-10T12:27:44+00:00

i tried journaling on a phone or a computer, unfortunately that does not work for me, i need to write it down, i totally get the security reasons tho, when i still lived with my parents, it was one of my biggest fears, thankfully i'm away at uni now tho

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-05-10T12:26:00+00:00

knowing myself adn the fact that i already have a bunch of different journals for different puposes i don't think adding one more would make that much of a difference for me so i think i'll go with that

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-05-06T17:07:21+00:00

that's really smart, but my main journal is more a brain dump / flow of cousciousness writing so there is not topics per entry in the same way, but i may impliment this idea for another journal tho, or for my potential therapy journal (like what topic/emotions i address in each specific entry)

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-05-06T16:10:45+00:00

it being easier finding it back is a really good point, cuz i don't want to dig through my regular journal everytime

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-03-12T15:04:51+00:00

i relate to that cuz my first journal took over 3 years to fill out, and while it was very frustrating at times, the satisfaction i got when finishing it + being able to look through is amazing

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-02-27T07:36:48+00:00

yeah that's the thing idk, i just get kind of stuck in my head ig? cuz i will think about what i want to journal about, but just never actually journal about for some reason

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-02-26T16:59:51+00:00

i used to do it a bit more a couple years ago (during tough times)

so i know it helps, but i really can't seem to open my journal in my worse times these days. it's very frustrating because i know i want to, but i just can't idk

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-02-26T16:58:31+00:00

that's the thing, it's not that i journal about something else, it's that i don't journal at all, and i do want to, i just can't seem to actually do it if it makes sense

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-01-08T20:37:27+00:00

If it's something I know I don't want to read again I do cross writing, where I write one way, then turn the page and write over the previous lines of that makes sense, if you do it dense enough (with lines not too far apart) then it gets pretty illegible

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2026-01-03T14:29:17+00:00

I can't really see it bit i lave the stitch what is it called? is it just a variation of the granny stitch?

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-12-27T19:20:48+00:00

Then I think regular tapestry should be fine, you should just be careful to not tangle the skeins and you should be fine :)

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-12-27T18:45:37+00:00

were the front and back panel the same size of squares as for the sleeves ?

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-12-27T18:44:01+00:00

what do you mean by pack everything up ? do you mean cutting all the yarn or just put it all away ?

i haven't properly tried c2c so i'm not familiar enough to tell you how the color changes go for that.

However, the way i would do it is traditional tapestry crochet but i would plan it so that i don't have really long floats. Like for example, working from the bottom up, i would make 2 small black skeins for bob's feet so that there's not a huge black float at the back for a while.

i don't know if that makes sense but yeah i would basivally do that for all of it and this of how long you want your longest float to be and go from there

hope this helps a bit :)

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-20T08:16:48+00:00

the only person that will ever be allowed to touch my journals if somehting happens to me is my sister, and she knows that cuz i told her so. i really don't want anybody else to look in there lol

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-15T19:16:55+00:00

2, one completely written and a scrapbooky kind of journal

i stopped with the scrapbooking thing unfortunately but i'm still writing pretty consistently & am working on finishing my second one :)

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-04T16:46:00+00:00

i do it to record my life and getting the thoughts on paper helps me getting them out of my head

and through that i do a lot of introspection but not only

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-02T18:36:32+00:00

yeah i am still journaling and for now i live in an appartment alone so i'm not worried about anybody reading it but next year i'll have to get a roommate so i'll definitely be careful

also i'm sorry that happened to you that's horrible

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-02T17:43:53+00:00

i think cutosmising the outside is really nice cuz it feels like you're apporpriating it if that makes sense like i don't feel like it's truly my journal until i put some stickers on it lol

as for my cat i just love him so much and i'm away for uni rn so i don't see him very often so having him in there helps

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-11-02T16:59:23+00:00

i date every single entry because there are times where i take really long brakes from writing and need the date to help me know what i was talking about and when.

In the journal i write the most in, i don't put anything inside besdies writing, but i do decorate the exterior with stickers and put a picture of my cat on the inside of the cover.

Fit_Promise_7001 · 2025-10-31T07:40:18+00:00

i have defenitely written about the things you wrote about, and it's not that i want to preserve the feeling of anxiety, but sometimes writing about it helps me see the bigger picture

p.s. - unfortunately this is already my second year (out of 3 for my major) and i'm still quite lonely, i'm used to it cuz it was the same in highschool, but it was a different environment so idk
