I don’t think I am the first, or the last, person to struggle with the an painful urge to buy notebooks and have absolutely no way to fill them. And a lot of the time I am too lazy or too unorganized to remember to write in them, and they continue to go untouched or half-filled and judged for eternity (or until I throw them out). 

Well, I think I have found some ways to fill up those notebooks!

1. JOURNAL PROMPTS

This is my personal favorite way to fill a notebook. I love to look up journal prompts on tumblr or pinterest and just write from what pops into my head. Sometimes it’s a creative writing prompts, sometimes it’s an interpersonal prompt, and sometimes it’s just a list of what I ate that day. It doesn’t matter; it gets my pen moving and my notebooks filled. Here are some of my favorite prompts:

• Today I am proud because I … 
  
• Write about what memory you would use to cast the patronus charm. 
  
• Write about a tree. Any tree. 
  
• What am I feeling and why? Do I want to change what I am feeling? How could I do that? 
  

2.  SPIRITUALITY JOURNAL 

I have recently found myself very interested in spirituality, and have found it to be a great journaling prompt in and of itself. (If you aren’t interested in it, or don’t want to write about it, feel free to ignore this idea.) I, personally, am writing about my connection with the earth and what I believe in. I also use this journal to write about self-care and how that connects to my spirituality. This is really an open-ended prompt, and one you can run with!

3. BULLET JOURNAL

We all know it; we all love it … The Bullet Journal is a tried and true method to fill up notebooks–and keep track of your life. I am setting up my bullet journal right now for 2019 and am super excited! I can’t even pretend to know what I’m doing, let alone instruct you how to do it, so I recommend you do your own research if you’re interested. There are tons of resources for bujo how-to and set-ups on tumblr, youtube and pinterest. 

4. NIGHT-TIME CHECK-OFF

My night-time journal is one of my all-time favorite journals. It’s the perfect way for me to wind down after a hectic day. Every night I write down 3 things: 

1. 3 things I did that I am proud of that day

2. 3 things that I am grateful for that day

3. My intention for tomorrow 

I usually do this before I meditate but after I change into pajamas and brush my teeth. This is the beginning of calming down my mind for bed, and I absolutely love it.

5.  SKETCHBOOK

I love, love, love my sketchbook. It is such a good way for me to creatively barf my ideas onto paper. Sometimes they look great! And sometimes not so much. But that’s the point of a sketchbook. If you’ve never had one before, and are interested, I highly suggest you try it out. Still unsure about a sketchbook? Try:

6. ART JOURNAL

Art journals are awesome! They’re a mix between a journal, sketchbook, and scrapbook, and take zero artistic experience. In fact, the messier the better! This is another journal that the internet can help you find inspiration with. YouTube is a great place for aspiring art journalers, and so is pinterest and tumblr.

2019 is more flowers, more rosé, more perfume, more pink, more dance, more lingerie, more skincare, more healthy food, more books, more gardens and more self love.

I haven’t heard any recent updates on cupcakKe and I’m so torn up about it. After processing the traumas of the Black girls in the docuseries over the weekend this feels like the final blow. It’s like mental health is forgotten all together when it should be a priority for survivors. And anyone who has actually listened to her albums knows that she, like all other Black hood femmes, is a survivor of violence at so many intersections. But because the hypersexualized hood femme persona is marketable no one questions the effect that that lifestyle has on a young woman’s psyche. Most of these fans are just white voyeurs looking to have an ‘urban’ experience from the comfort of their privilege. It never crosses their mind what poverty, gun violence, state and sexual violence, can do to a child in that enviroment and how it translates into adulthood. They’re invested so long as they’re entertained and once an artist stops allowing them their struggle fantasy by talking about colorism, misogynoir, and self-reflection, then they become disposable. cupcakKe was failed the same way those girls were and it all boils down to y'all wanting to continually consume black girls, their bodies, their pain, their art, etc., and never wanting to put anything into them.
