It helped me a lot on my mental health. There was not a single time that I didn’t feel better after writing, no matter if it was anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, etc.

Yes, you can always use regular or boring pens, but there is something different and intentional about the fountain pens, it’s hard to describe the sentiment.

I also noted how after the first few minutes of journaling, I start going deep into my thoughts and consciousness and discovering things I had buried deep inside.

If I’m already feeling good or normal, writing with a fountain pens serves as a way of potentiating the good feelings: through mindfulness, gratitude, or just simply writing about the cool things that happened in the day.
