The phrase “clean slate” always makes me suspicious. It sounds harmless, but it often means quietly putting the previous version of yourself in a sack and dropping her in the river. There’s something much saner in carrying the old pages forward, crossings-out and all.
I love weaving this conversation about how we change with the regenerations of The Doctor
Thank you so much Colette, it's lovely to hear it resonated 🥰

Thank you for commenting and glad that thinking about a clean slate in this way also landed with you 🥰
This stayed with me: “a new journal can simply say that the story is ready to change form.”
I love that distinction. Not erasure, not reinvention, but continuation with better margins. And possibly stickers.
always stickers *grin* ... thank you so much for kind comment 🥰
You’re inspiring me to revisit bullet journaling!
Awww that's so cool, I'd love to hear how you get on 🥰
