I decided that in order to become more outgoing and free I would do something new. This is a shocker to myself because I never do anything new or different because I like routines and schedules. I've been doing a lot of new(ish) things recently. So to add to this I purchased a "Wreck This Journal". I saw this out of the corner of my eye at Target but passed it up. The more I thought about it the more it interested me. My mom was heading back up to Target to pick up some other stuff and I asked her if we could stop by the book section. There they were! I debated on black vs. red and ultimately picked the black one because it looked more sleek? Just to inform you, I'm a 100% rule follower, so when I opened up this journal and I read the warning at the beginning I became hesitant. Also there are some rules they want you to follow, which I then feel forced to follow. And lets just say some of the stuff in there is a little weird... not bad just strange. Long story short this could either go well or ehh not so much. The only thing I'm holding on to is the fact that it said I can interpret what each page says for myself, and take it beyond what it says. Meaning if it says take my book on a walk, I could "walk" around my house not around the mall.
      I feel like this could be good for me for a few reasons. One of which I could slowly break out of my shell. Second, it's something different. I'm not doing the same "dear diary" I've been doing since I was eight. Third, it should be fun. Spitting into a page, tearing things out of a journal on purpose seems entertaining. Especially with the stress of school, hey, who knows!! So I'm going to take this on as my November Challenge. Maybe you can join me??
