Do you know how impossible it is to find unlined journals? I needed one for a gift I’m making, but every fucking journal I found had lines! Normally that would be a blessing because I prefer lines when I’m actually journaling. (Yet strangely when I’m looking for a lined journal, all the cool ones are line-less.) Anyway, I finally found one lonely line-deficient journal that was labeled as a sketchbook, though it so obviously was not.

It’s hideous. It looks like something I would have liked when I was 6. You know, back in the 80s. I paid five bucks for a hideous 80s-looking journal disguised as a sketchbook just because the pages were unlined. Man, gift-giving is rough. I hope the receiver won’t judge a book by its cover and love it for what’s inside.
