Your Pursuits Are Called Outstanding, You're Emotionally Complex*

Day 18

Something You Bought

My chevron striped journal.

I have a penchant for chevron stripes. 

I had them on our Christmas cards. 

I want them all over my house.

When I saw this little journal, I snagged it.

It was on sale at Target & I was in need of a new Bible study journal. 

As you can see, I personalized it like a stoner from 1980. 

The Zep is never wrong. 

This might seem a bit silly, but when I look at this I see my desire to be a put-together wife & mom (the hip, chic chevron stripes). I also see my inability to do that: writing Led Zeppelin on the side of a Bible study journal.

It's a visual metaphor for my life.
