Journaling. Personally, I never understood it. I tried to get into it way before, trying to make it a habit, but it’d always fall short. Although this year, I was gifted this really nice looking journal and I thought to give it a shot again. I’ve been so loose with my writing so and I don’t overthink anything I write. I even write just a few sentences of Ideas, reminders, or even song lyrics and I found that very helpful as is. I think I didn’t like it before because I was thinking too much about it. But with each short paragraph or sentence I write, I remind myself that I should just write and because of that, I’m starting to enjoy it! I even bring that journal when I work outside or sit in a coffee shop. I can’t wait to see how this journal over the year!

About the Curators
Andie De Guzman
Andie constantly thinks of music as an escape to a whole other place. It also brings out this different side of her that only music can. Like, you ever have a bad day, but when you listen to this particular song or shuffle this certain playlist, everything seems better? Yeah, that's pretty much how it makes her feel too. And for her, music has to be playing everywhere– as in everywhere. It's like she has a soundtrack for anything. She can't stop writing or talking about it. It's something she can talk about with you for hours and hours. Music helps her get lost but in the best way possible.
