Sending you a big hug. There have been studies about losing total interest in reading and creating after a trauma. You’ll get back to it. ❤
Yes! and sometimes that trauma can be, for a lack of a better word, transferred to an object even if that object has nothing to do with the incident. That unfortunately is what I think I'm dealing with in regards to my bullet journal. Thank you so much for your support! ❤️
I'm so happy to see you again. You were missed, but the most important is that you have to take care or yourself and see what you need.
Hope you'll be back when you feel is the right moment. Since then greetings from Spain.
I can hear the pain in your voice and your laugh 😔 As a person who knows trauma, I absolutely understand the loss of creativity, but I hope your heart will heal day by day. May you find joy in every laughter.
May the pain fade with every sunrise. Your setups are gorgeous and give me so much inspiration to work in my journal. Hope to see you back soon 🌷✨️
Lots of love ❤️
I'm so happy to hear your voice. Even if you didn't feel creative this was really really lovely. Reading is always a good idea! 😄 Take care and take your time 🤍 We'll keep you in our thoughts in the meantime
I glad that you are getting back to a sense of normal and missed your videos so much. You are an amazing creator and every spread you do inspires me in my own bullet journal. I hope that your family is better and pray that things get better from here.
I'm glad to hear you and your family are OK. I'm sending you lots of good, healing vibes. Please, take your time and continue to be kind to yourself. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.
Love and respect the honesty! Things happen in life and we have to overcome in our own ways.
I really hope you come back, even if in some small way. You have so much to offer. Even if it’s to create a monthly kit and choose a couple of people to fill them out over the month and feed back????????
I have seen some of your videos in the past, but this one is by far the most relatable. My father passed away at the beginning of the year and it was months before I was really able to be creative, and the things I have done, I had to really push myself to even try to do them. I don't know what you are going through exactly, but I do understand trauma and depression.
My father was in and out of hospital all of 2022, and I got SOOO much reading done, but did not touch my reading journal till just recently. I am now trying to go back and filling the pages of that journal with what I read. It is slow going because, as you pointed out, grief dose not always lend it's self to creativity.
You and your family will get through this. Get back into it at your own pace and try to be kind to your self. I have subscribed and am looking forward to hearing how you are doing. My heart goes out to you all.
Thank you so much! I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you are doing well. 🩷
I am happy you took the time to take care of what was important. We are not going anywhere.
So sad to hear you are struggling with something that has affected you so much. I hope whatever happens you start to heal soon ❤
Thank you!
Bless, no need to justify or apologise, things happens in life. I’m just glad that you are ok. Take your time. ❤❤❤ big hugs
sorry for what happened, glad to hear your voice again and see those beautiful pages, take care💖
Thanks for the update. I missed seeing your bullet journal spreads but it so much more important that you are ok. I hope you continue to feel better and that whatever you may be experiencing turns around for you. ❤️
Dear Tracy, wish all the best to you and your family❤ Just take your time, be with yourself, do things that cheer you up. We are here with you and waiting for you to come back patiently ❤
Thank you so much. 🩷
Ahhh, Tracy! Hi! So nice to hear your voice and laugh and see your beautiful journal again! I'm just at the beginning of the video, but had to say that you've been much missed and it's good to see you. Create when you feel like creating. Your bujo is yours to use where and when you see fit. My best to you and your family, sweet lady. 🤍 I feel like I can hear the tears in your voice and I am so sorry you're hurting and feeling at loose ends. We're here for you as a community!
ETA: I empathize with not using your journal a lot, though. I have ADHD and sometimes hyperfocus on a task, so I actually ended up building out my entire 2023 bullet journal at the end of 2022. It turns out that that means I sort of forget it exists when I'm not decorating month by month, since I don't use it for daily to-do lists, just habit tracking and keeping track of quotes and favorite words, etc. (I keep to-do lists digitally in Notion, since it's easy to move tasks around!) I've pushed into creating other journals like a reading journal, a tarot journal, and an embroidery journal, which has helped to remind me to use my normal one, but it's still hard. Creativity can be such a fickle thing when our brains are going through troubles. (GOD, sorry for the novel! I just feel for you and wanted to reach out!) 🤍
Thank you so much! I truly get this! I felt like everything was connected to my bullet journal but I just couldn't bring myself to use it so I tried other planners but since I wasn't having to set them up every month I completely forgot they existed! LOL. Hopefully you have found your creativity/planner sweet spot. 🩷
So nice to see your videos again! I really hope you feel better soon and get back to all the things you love.
So happy to see a video from you! I actually checked the other night to make sure I hadn’t missed one. Sorry you have been going through some things but glad you guys are ok!
Thank you Tracy for your lovely video. I hope you are better, the most important thing is you.🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
Welcome back. You have been missed.
Hi Tracy! I really love your channel!! It helped me a lot, and I only wish you good things! 💖
I am so happy just to hear your voice. I have missed you! I totally understand that you needed (and may still need) a break. I really appreciate you sharing your feelings about lack of creativity - for whatever reason. The pages you created are still so beautiful and cute. OOOOH The Washi Tape Shop tapes are gorgeous! I think I might need to get those. You might be able to so a little tweaking and save that BuJo for next year! I love that you are taking time for yourself and are reading (wow 10 books!!!) and taking care of your mental health. So good to hear from you. ❣❣
So happy to see another video from you. I’ve always loved your style. I hope things start looking up for you and your family. I appreciate you sharing your art and honesty with us.
Thank you for sharing this Tracy. It’s so important not to feel guilty for not keeping up with your journal. The point is that it should work for you and if you need a break, then take a break!
It's great that you're back ❤ there's nothing wrong in having just monthly pages ❤ and yes, these washitapes are gorgeous 🤩
It was great to see your current status and to hear your voice. Thank you for sharing. It’s good to know that you are doing what you can to care for yourself and your family.
I am soooooo happy to hear and see you! And I hope to see your posts again in the near future!❤
You are one of my favorite creators. I miss watching your videos, but mental health comes first and you deserve a break as long as you think is necessary.
Really glad to hear that you and your family are ok. Do what is right for you and your family. We miss your beautiful spreads but you have to enjoy them and be energized by creating the spreads - don’t feel guilty if that isn’t the case. Best wishes and hope that things improve.
It was so nice to hear from you again. things happen in life. i just hope to see you soon back with us. I love your pages and have missed it so much.
I am sorry to hear your family has had to endure trauma recently 💔. Sending you all love. Your journal is absolutely beautiful!!🥰
Thank you so much for the update! I was so excited to see a video from you. I totally understand not being able to create, I just made my February reading spread last night! We had some bad things happen with our family too and I just was not feeling like making anything. I really hope things get better for you and your family whatever the situation is. Thank you for sharing these beautiful spreads, looks like I will have to make another Washi Tape Shop order 😉
Sorry you’ve been having a hard time. I’m glad you and your family are ok
I don't know what happened to you or if you said it in the video, but whatever it is, I love seeing you back again! I have been watching your videos since October and have been loving bullet journalling I don't do it but I love watching you do it. Hope you feel better, be kind to yourself, and have good vibes and healing vibes. Love you! We all support you whatever it is. Love one of your fans-Olivia
Thank you so much Olivia. 🩷
Glad to hear you! Prayers going forward…
There you are! I knew something wasn’t right when you weren’t posting. Life happens whether good or bad and sometimes it throws us for a big ol’ loop! You’ll get back to “you” eventually. Until then it’s one day at a time! ❤
Thank you for your candor. Give yourself grace and hope to see more going forward, but if not, take care of yourself.
Aw hope things get better for you. I know the feeling re life events and everything just halts. *hugs*
Also, new subbie and omg your spreads are incredible! 🥹😍
I've missed your videos so much and I truly hope you are ok. I understand EXACTLY where you are right now because I had the same thing happen to me. It was like a self preservation/protection thing. It will get better i promise. Dont push yourself because you know what you need right now. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. ❤
Side note... can you tell me what the fox paper is? Lol
Love your work and your laugh! Xoxo from Brazil!
I'm sorry things haven't been wonderful for you. I've really missed you but understand that family is always first. Take the time you need. I bet when you do come back your creative energy will be through the roof. I loved your Feb and March layouts--too bad you didn't use them. I have done it too, where I've created beautiful layouts and then just couldn't put forth the energy to use my bujo. Then eventually something inspired me and I was back using it. I also received those clear washi tapes and I've been wondering how I'd use them in layouts. Thanks for giving me some ideas. Cutting the grouped flowers out is a great way to use them. I love your stuff. I hope you are able to come back, but if not, I (and I'm sure your whole community) understand.
Thank you!
Hi Tracy
I absolutely love your stile, and I've missed seeing your take on Bullet journaling. I have also been in - and a lot out - of my journal, but now we seem to have reconnected. I do make a lot of reoccurring pages in my journal, and even though I don't fill them out consistently, I still enjoy seeing them each month.
Hi Tracy. You have been missed and I sensed something was amiss. Wishing you the strength to overcome the adversity that life has thrown you. Despite everything, your spreads are very beautiful and I so hope you are able to come back to YT. Yes you did see that spread on Teanbujo. Give yourself and your family all the love, care and time you deserve and need. 💕Deb
Thank you so much Deb! 🩷
Tracy I am in a very similar boat! I am super-slowly working on my new bujo setup for 2023 (granted I used my last one all the way through January 2023 so started my new one at a "weird" time).
My one issue with giving myself grace with my bullet journal is that I pay a lot of money for the notebooks and all the stuff I use in them. I guess once I've started in a notebook I tend to put more pressure on myself.
I absolutely get this! Anything relating to stationary is not a cheap hobby! I think that's one reason why I kept trying to make this particular book work for me but eventually I just couldn't stand to look at it anymore. Creative bullet journaling should never be a chore! 😂 It should always be our happy place. 🩷
absolutely love these set ups. Also here to support and take as long as you need, mental and physical health as well as being in the right mind space is just as important. :) also I wanna know where the disk bound cover is from haha. Love and Prayers to you and your famjam :)
❤️❤️ Thank you! It’s a Moterm cover I got from Amazon.
Glad to see you back and I’m sorry to hear about your circumstances. Since I began planning I’ve experienced lulls in creativity due to depression. Then guilt for neglecting my planner, creativity, and social media account. In fact, in 2022 I took a break from my planner Instagram account for pretty much the whole year. The guilt is normal but please try to move past it. You don’t owe us anything and your journal will be there for you whenever you want to use it. I love back-planning and writing little notes about what was going on when I’ve neglected my planner. Then I can go back and read what I wrote to myself and it lessens the guilt. Maybe your bujo is meant to become more of a journal than a planner. I personally love the disc system for my work and wellness planners. Check out Jane’s Agenda, I think you’ll love her stuff. Anyway, take care of you and your fam. I hope you continue to heal and find some peace 💛
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🩷
Eu sou do Brazil e adoro você, acho você uma artista maravilhosa, parabéns pelo trabalho, estava com saudades
I use a hobonichi cousin for my planning, and my reading bujo for my creativity. I hope you are able to find the system that works best for you.
Thank you! I am LOVING my Hobonichi Cousin right now! 🩷
Saudades imensa da sua voz. Espero que agora esteja tudo bem . Seu trabalho é admirável. Você é extremamente criativa.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you so much!
💙💙💙
❤❤❤
i love you for this! I also have cover pages and the monthly calendar because I couldn't bring myself to 'be on top of things'. Not everything is perfect and you are so real for this! Sending love to you and your family (❁´◡`❁)
Thank you.
Please do not make a bullet journal that does not work for you just to please us.
When things are chaotic in my life, I tend to lean towards simple spreads (just month overview and daily just to log things) where it is just boxes and a few highlights. From there you can re-evaluate what spreads you actually still need for next month.
Sending lots of hugs 🤗☺️🥰
Thank you! 🩷🩷
We miss you……please come back and give us an updare
I miss you guys too! I just posted today and I hope to stick around! 😉
