#journalingmilestone

Urgh! I guess I'm being so forgetful nowadays that I actually forgot that it was my 1,400th day of daily journaling last Thursday (May 30th). Do you know that I even planned to write a blog post about it? It's not easy reaching 1,400 days writing in a journal daily, you know. I still can't believe that I wrote that much daily. This is my 14th journal notebook, by the way. I started my daily journaling journey on the 2nd journal I had since 2019. That's crazy! But I'm proud of that achievement.

This was supposed to have been posted last Thursday, but didn't get to do so. To be honest, I nearly forgot. 😂 But better late than never. My gosh! 5 years… I couldn't recall the time I've actually written in a journal for that long, even when I was younger. Maybe the longest I've ever maintained a journal would be… 2 years? And I think I was still in my early years in high school when that happened. I can't recall. Sorry. And then I didn't journal for more than 10 years since April of 2009. I would (most of the time) be able to easily recall the date that I returned to journaling because it was the day (June 13) after the 🇵🇭 Independence Day (June 12) that I started it. Not long after that, the lockdown happened. I guess I should thank that event (just a little) since it made me stick to journaling for this long. 5 years might not be much to some. But for someone who would find solace in writing down her thoughts on paper regardless of the chaos around me, this is already a lot. I never thought I'd be able to do it consistently for this long. And yet, here I am! Here's to my 5th anniversary of returning to journaling! Let's keep it up so I can celebrate more journaling milestones in the next coming years.🎉😊✌️💕

1,500 days of journaling every single day… Wow! I actually did that. But if I'm being honest, this is 17 DAYS TOO LATE already. And I only realized that just now when I have to recompute everything about this date. Like, what the heck? Why did I make that mistake? And I even have to mark it on my calendar. Urgh! What kind of stupidity is this? But for me, better late than never. Not to mention, it's still September, so maybe I can forgive myself for that. Anyway, here we are! I've actually reached this far. And to think it all started with trying to aim for the goal of journaling for 1000 days just like @carrie.walker did. That one video truly created that spark in me to journal again and do it daily. And now… let's reach the 2,000 mark. 😊✌️💕
