I have been enjoying using my Kaweco Liliput recently. Dainty, I think you'd probably describe it

(Or 'bloody tiny’!)

It was a dry writer when I picked it up. A soak in washing liquid and water helped a bit, but more needed to be done

I got violent with the nib in the end, and it now writes a gorgeous wet line

Have you had a problematic nib in the past, and how did you fix it (or is it still troublesome?!)

An interesting solo game from @exeuntpress that I've had for a while but haven't had the chance to dedicate some time to yet. Let´s explore the EZ!

Sharing my planner layout this week. I didn't realize when I picked the washi that it was going to be matchy matchy, lol.

Light the first half of the week and picking up toward the weekend. Fountain pens are Benu Euphoria and Leonardo Momento Zero.

El #journaling un día más

Sharing another layout from this morning. I like to pepper paragraphs with stickers. Thankfully, it seems the extreme anxiety has passed. Paper is iroful and back to Birmingham Sterling Silver in a TWSBI Eco <B>

No idea what it means for downloads yet but Journelly is currently #8 under lifestyle paid apps in the UK

Perhaps it's my GenX brain, perhaps I am more allergic to screens, but I have come to accept that I can't go paperless even if I really want to. for eg, I really do want to go paperless when it comes to my journals, on account to moving countries and not being able to take my stacks of journals with me and worrying they will be read.

But my brain really hates working on screens. For one, I get so easily distracted by the UI, notifications, the reminders that I have to check this or that. And there's something about handwriting that soothes my brain. Also, my brain resists looking at my journal in Obsidian.

So I have come up with a compromise - long-term reflections in my Obsidian (yearly and quarterly reflections), daily thoughts in a journal. Seems to be working so far.

finally found some time to jot down some brief reflections on time and place and spring ephemerals

I'm really happy with how my spread for may came out! I love frogs. Done with Pitt Pens, the language is Esperanto. #art #bulletjournal #journaling

Spent time under my favorite oak tree doing, what I call, introspective work. This is the mental work of acknowledging my feelings and letting them pass. I've spent my whole life running from feelings I didn't understand, trauma I didn't know I had. It's still a hard skill to master, but I'm getting better at not running from my own feelings. I've been overwhelmed by the state of the administration in this country. The anxiety stirs up feelings from my past where I've felt the same, pressure coming in from all sides, not safe, insecurity. I finally worked on those feelings today, letting them come to the surface so I can let them leave. My work is never done. Although none of this is my fault, it is my responsibility to work through it. #majordepressivedisorder #mentalhealth #journaling #anxiety #wordvomit #thegreatoutdoors

Sharing the layout of my journal this morning. Still text heavy as I work through major anxiety lately caused by work. I was able to work in some washi and stickers today. The washi is from Staples! An office supply store and the stickers are CoffeeMonsterzCo.

Paper is iroful, and ink is Birmingham Sterling Silver. Pen is TWSBI Eco <B>
