I journal a lot for self help but I always fall off track or lose interest - mainly because I do have OCD and even 1 cross out will make me feel like I need to get a whole new book. I have so many journals from amazon and the lock ones are my favorite. I have consistently used this journal now for about 2 months, the pink little flowery bird things aren’t my style but for me it’s about feel. I love to write in this. So that’s my life lolIt’s a well made journal/ diary. I don’t use the passcode because I don’t need to, but I have no issues with lock or closure with whatever it’s set at when I got it. I remember waiting for this book and was so excited for some reason. I’m a very “beige or black” type of person so for me to like this just says a lot.Side note, I am a Mental health therapist (lcsw) and I recommend A diary for all of my clients, even if it’s one word a day. Something, anything. I also have diagnoses myself, and journaling changed my life - you ever take your diary to a doctors appointment? I suggest you do because you will find patterns of mood, feelings etc. my diary revealed many things attributing to exacerbated chronic pain for me, AND helped figure out my own mind.I got nothing for this review, but I hope someone reads this and just gets a diary even if it’s not this one. It will help any headspace. Xo
