Cara Moleskine

{I love Moleskine}


was a huge journalizer when I was younger. All of my books were more like journal's moonlighting as scrapbooks, and visual collages. Lately I've been getting back into it.

Nothing makes me feel more artistic, and more like a writer than a fresh moleskine. Any moleskine, size or shape. I just purchased this small unlined notebook a couple of weeks ago, and I'm already going crazy pasting photographs from urban outfitters catalogs, and drawing instead of finding the photo equivalent.

I feel like the allure behind these Moleskine's that so many artists have used, fuses present artists together. I often look at Moleskinerie, a website dedicated to showcasing moleskine artists, diarists, and slapstick journalizers like myself. It's such an inspiration, and just shows you never have to write on lined sheets, or compose paragraphs, or even write anything. But its about imprinting yourself in the page. These notebooks leave room for you to draft your stories, and imprint it with who you are. Sometimes it makes me think that someone else might read it, and maybe be inspired by it, so why not treat your regular day like its special because you're breathing and you didn't have to be.

Also, you might notice that my title is in welsh. I think I might have a reason to learn this beautiful language because I found out yesterday at seven a.m. that I've been accepted to Bangor University in Wales to complete my Master's Degree. I feel like I am on a cloud, or even intoxicated with jaded green absinthe. I thank God for this victory, really. But an entire entry on this is coming up soon!
