Journal Project

Even when I was young, I've always been scribbling down random thoughts and doodles into notebooks. And I guess that it's hobby of mine that I've carried on until now. Journal-ing is just a term I made-up that I like to call what I do.

Here are pages from the journal I currently have, and am working on. 

If I ever let you go through my journal, this is the first thing you'll probably see.

Basically

Never finished it haha.

It's really just a random sketch of a fountain.

 

Letter's from Japan and England!

Occasional watercolor typographies, in it.

Obviously, most of the "art" in it are unfinished, due to the fact that I tend to get unmotivated to finish doodles all the time. I basically write down my thoughts, doodle and write in this. And I put a lot of memorabilia (aka candy wrappers, tags and the like) in it. And well I didn't really want to post the thoughts/written work things in here, so...maybe some other time. 

Another thing I like to do with journals are list down random observations, odd, I know. But I'm telling you, most of my journals consist 40% of that.

How to start a journal project?

1) Find a notebook, and this is going to sound spiritually weird...but make sure it feels right.

2) Create a theme for it, or something. (E.g. mine is a "universal" journal)

3) Get started. Draw, write, etc.

4) Keep it interesting and pretty. (I put Oragami paper in some of my pages)

5) Don't forget about it. (I think I can say that this's my biggest problem)

Sam's Infinite Playlist: Sleepy September

Well, well. It's September. SEPTEMBER. A month before my birthday, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't freaked out by it. It's my last month as a thirteen year old, wow. No more singing along to Thirteen the musical for me (okay fine, I still will, but you get the point.)

I'm just glad I survived August, honestly, with the rain and all. August was honestly such a productive month, but if August was productive, September is just going to be down-right busy. 

To get to the point of this post though, here's my September playlist. It's pretty sad, again. I don't even know why but oh well. And, it ended up becoming a sleep playlist. The title of this playlist reminded me so much of a certain Green Day song. (Yes, Wake Me Up When September Ends) that I was this close to adding it to the playlist, but it just didn't really fit the vibe of the whole thing.
