“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

  • quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.
  • definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.
  • lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.
  • maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.
  • photos
  • take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.
  • illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.
  • newspaper clippings from the day.
  • tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.
  • postcards
  • records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.
  • rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.
  • count. there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.
  • mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.
  • collages
  • pressed leafs and flowers
  • your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.
  • recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.
  • stickers
  • comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

==> | THE HANDMAIDEN (2016) dir. Park Chan-wook Living with her despotic uncle, Kouzuki, an intellectual and avid collector of rare erotic literature, the beautiful and fragile Japanese heiress, Lady Hideko, is destined to marry him. Confined in a sun-deprived mansion in 1930s Korea under Japanese rule, Lady Hideko is a sad bird in a gilded cage, and a seemingly easy target for Count Fujiwara, a forger and an outright con-man in disguise who hires Sook-hee, a dexterous young pickpocket, to act as Hideko’s new handmaiden. Now, intent on possessing her father’s inheritance, the count needs Sook-hee to talk the unaware noblewoman into marrying him instead, and when the elaborate scam finally bears fruit, he plans to send Hideko to an asylum without an ounce of remorse. However, the plan meets an obstacle in the form of unexpected emotions rising between Hideko and Sook-hee.

If you make a reply to a Tumblr post that I find really smart, witty or funny. I'm immediately following you.

Through fjord I flee, my scaly dark skin

Like sack cloth contend your ire toward a flailing hand

Was it not the gods that placed an empty glass

To be filled to brim with mocking cries?

Here I lay, expired breath as wherewithal

"All racists are children" Baldwin whispers at final knell
