Does my journal have to be pretty?

A bullet journal open to a two-page spread of text and images. There is a bright pink fountain pen laid across the pages.

I get asked this question a lot.

You can journal however you want. There are no rules. It does not have to be pretty. You can have a structure if you prefer, or you can let it flow naturally. You can write about your day and your thoughts, or you can write poetry and prose.

The only thing that matters is that you actually write; the way in which you do so is up to you!

If you’d like to start a journal, but don’t know where to begin, I recommend going here for a post on how to get started with journalling in 5 easy steps. In it, I’ll walk you through each step of the process so that even if it’s been years since you last wrote anything down, by the end of this guide, you’ll have an easy-to-follow plan on how to start journaling again!
