The way you've got your page arranged is really cool sushi, and your music sounds really nice too

Do you have a bandcamp account by any chance?

>i give very vage thoughts that resonate with whatever it is that I experienced that day

I did something like this in a journal I got for Christmas years ago. It was a special and neat looking book, and I'd write in pen. It quickly turned into something not vague and within a week I was writing some nasty things. I stopped eventually. Writing about my thoughts merely tolerated and even encouraged the worst ones, lingering like some pest.

I think a blog, or something similar, could be more of my style. If I have a diary or journal I just feel the need to mope, rant, and write multiple pages.

If someone could share an easy format they use for diary entries so that I could get into it easier I would appreciate it.

never had a Bandcamp page and I am fully committed to painting now .. thank you for checking my work and your kind words

>>1662
same here, i tried keeping a journal because i've heard it helps with mental health but it did the exact opposite for me. i think i got an almost masochistic pleasure from mentally spiraling out of control and writing it down. so i guess that when you have nothing nice to write it may be better not to write anything at all

Maybe do as I, and keep a journal dedicated to pictures and just A FEW words; not even full sentences even

Try to control the urge to write and instead, put your thoughts on paper in a way that isn't obvious

I used to have a blog. I made like one post and scrapped it. Its never good enough. I do write a journal but its just schizo mind vomit on paper kind of thing.

I've kept diaries for the past 10 years and I also keep a blog. The diaries have kind of changed form and function over the years. Some years I've done big spreads for each day where I go really in depth on what happened, others I just keep basic planning notes or sketch mostly, it's been all dependant on what works for my life at that moment.

It's nice to go back and see how things were in the past, how the person I am or the way that I think has changed in that time, things like that. I also like to keep mementos like ticket stubs from movies or business cards of cafes I went to etc.

Nope, I just journal normally.

I consecrated my journal to Mary, and then I would vent my thoughts to Mary via journaling.
I have a diagnosis of psychosis, and being able to share my thoughts with someone in heaven is deeply reassuring. I can say anything that I can't normally say to other people, and then someone will understand me, and really understand me because by God's grace, they have quasi-omniscience, and I can really get true understanding and true help with my problems.
My problem with journaling is that I would often feel conflicted - I want to journal about more emotional matters, but I also want to journal about my thoughts on some cool theory I have, inspired partially by theories I read on imageboards and inspired partially by the delusions of my mental illness. I would always choose the "cool" thoughts. Nowadays though, I'm beginning to settle down. There's less writing about the "cool" thoughts as I've basically said everything multiple times, and so I'm writing about what matters emotionally more often now.

So, I guess I did kind of want a "cool" diary. I would make my diary cool with what I journaled about (i.e. schizo-theories) though, not by journaling less.

>schizo mind-vomit
Right! This is why I journal. Regularly doing this helps me out. Plus, like I said, my thoughts go to someone above, and so not only do I put the thoughts to paper, but additionally, I can be understood, and be prayed for.
Not only that, but I've gone further, and asked that a carbon copy of my journal entry is spiritually sent to my local bishop, so he sees what I write about.
He recently approved of catechism alterations to assist children with Autism that are learning about the Faith! I feel like this has something to do with me. (but that could just be another schizo-theory) :)

I wish I had your talents.

Both of them look really sweet sushi, but i'd say that the one on the right is cooler

You mind sharing some of your favorite sketches?

>>1671
Thank you! I agree, I got the other one when I was much younger and my tastes have changed a lot.

And sure. I'm still learning but here is one from this morning.

>>1656

No, I incestuously shizopost on uboachan.

>>1675
*schizopost, mb

>>1675

OP here

Now that i think about it, you know what would be absolutely COOL sushi??

Take screenshots of your uboachan posts, print them, and plaster them on a diary

I think my parents would sodomize me with a sledgehammer
