romanticize your life

Hey! I have just a few!

diary: log your day, write what you did, just a record of your day-to-day happenings

stories: write down all the stories or ideas for them you have. Perhaps if you read on you like, do a summary or review!

bullet journal: note down all your daily to-do and focus on getting them done!

gratitude journal: write down things you’re grateful for each day and why

365 journal: write down a sentence a day. Could be a quote you like, an event that happened, a funny moment or something!

dream log: write down your dreams and maybe research their meaning!

review journal: if you see a movie or read a book write down your thoughts!

photo a day journal: make a daily scrapbook/photo album

expense tracker: note each thing you spend your money (you could track everything or just the things you treat yourself on)

goals journal: set yourself a goal and try to map out how you will achieve over a certain amount of time! Record how well you’re doing!

recipe book: write down ingredients and an easy step-by-step guide so you can always make something to eat

dashboard notebook: a little book that is kind of a hub of your life such as important emergency contacts, accounts names/passwords/emails, etc

tv show tracker: note down each season and cross of episodes as you go. You could also write down important parts of each episode so you can be reminded of what you’ve seen.

inspiration/mood-book: print off photos, quotes, random bits and bobs that you find inspiration

gift log: write down the birthdays, anniversaries, holidays of your friends and note down any ideas you might think they’d like as a gift. If they ever say “I love that!” then make a note of what it is and where to get it so you can get later!

wishlist journal: take note of things you’d like to buy over the year!

happiness journal: make a scrapbook of things that make you happy - could be photos, quotes, events, people, etc

monthly overview, goals and reflection: each month write down things that happened and how you felt

project/assessment book: plan out all your school or university assignments such as due dates, word count, to-dos, questions, citations, etc

‘fuck that’ book: when you’re angry or annoyed by something, write it down, rant about until your hearts content!

your own wreck this journal - you can Google to see what I mean but make your own version. Either you come up with ideas or maybe get a friend to write down cool things to do.

magazine clipping journal - if you see anything you like, cut it and stick it in. For me, I’d maybe do street style or runway fashion!

swatch book: whenever you get some new pens, make a swatch board of them!

friendship journal: you and your friend(s) could make a book where you write down things you like about each other, places you go to together, photos you take, etc. Maybe pass it around each week and you can all review what you’re doing!

travel log: even if you aren’t travelling far or overseas write down where you go and what it was like. Write down places you’d like to visit or things you’d like to see!

doodle book: just a book full of random drawings, sketches, etc

writing prompts: find some writing prompts that you’d like to continue and get writing! reddit has a page specifically for this so a great way to get started :-)

receipts book: stick in all the things you spend your money on either to track or just out of curiosity!

flower press log: a cool way to save any pretty plants you find!

scrapbook: put in some of your favourite things in there! You could maybe do them for your friends for cute, personalised gifts!

handwriting practice: take time to practice your lettering, caligraphy or just normal handwriting!

habit tracker: do a ‘don’t break the chain’ kind of thing to either create or break your habits!

diyself help book: on studyblr, in life, online, etc there are so many people and places giving advice on how to do something. Sometimes there are the few ideas that resonate and you want to implement. Perhaps use the book to write these key ones down. They can become a reference point for later!

Like, give me the wizard who charmed their pencils to write down whatever they say when creating a spell and their hands are occupied, then accidentally swearing and having to manually alter it later, silently scolding the pencil, because we've talked about this! Gimme the mage who can sense their online friend's frustration about something, and sending them positive vibrations through their phone, taking advantage of the wires that run through the earth, under the sea, connecting everyone everywhere.

What about the fairy who works in sales? Manipulates their costumers into promising to buy something "next time" and then making sure the costumers do good on that promise? The one who hands out free samples at malls, and outside retail stores, and the customers never know why they always take the samples, even if they just ate, and always come back for more.

The vampire who studies anatomy, knows just where to puncture so that their victims never know that those snake bites are from a different type of animal. Who works the night shifts, sleeps through the day, because "they're tired", "they get burned too easily". Who can hear the burglars and vandals on the night shift from a mile away, and never misses a catch, the other security guards asleep because they know they don't need to bother with anything when their friend is on the job, they joke about how they have "supernatural talents", and the vampire says, fangs showing a little more than usual, "you have no idea".

The shapeshifter who works at aquariums and circuses, because it's easy money, and if they're not actually hurting animals, what's the harm in making a child's day? The one who winks at a child that snuck into the changing rooms, the child swore to her parents she saw that lion from the show becoming a person!!!!!

The werewolf who works as a vet, and at pet shelters, who heals abused and ill-treated pets, who always knows what's wrong, who has the best ratings in the city. The werewolf who learns to control their transformations, who walks with their friends alone at night even though they're all still children, because they know they can keep their friends safe.
