I am lefthanded and have been really surprised at the amount of social media content in which I have noticed that the person creating the journal is also lefthanded, us being in the minority and all. Is it just a strange co-incidence that I have ended up watching/reading people who are left handed in this community? Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed this or whether you care to share your own 'handedness'?

Can you believe it? We’ve been crafting the things you love for eight incredible years—that’s practically a lifetime in journal years! But we’re not here to just celebrate. We want to hear from the real heroes—you—about how we can make STM even better. We’ve put together a super quick survey with just four questions here: https://forms.gle/9tE5MT1Jp9MrKs7k8. No long essays needed, just your honest thoughts. Your feedback could spark the next big idea in the journaling world. Seriously, no pressure. Thank you for being such an awesome part of our creative journey. We’re here because of you, and we want to make sure we’re delivering what you need. Stay creative (and caffeinated), The STM Team ☕️ P.S. We’re not fishing for compliments (though we wouldn’t mind them!). We genuinely want to hear what you think, so go ahead and spill the ink! 🎨🖋️

i was just wondering how people are storing completed journals/notebooks and how long everyone is intending to keep them for? I'm thinking more for ones that you use to keep your 'journal' pages in. So private thoughts and musings that you might never want others to see. How do you store them? How often do you go back and look at completed ones? How long do you intend to keep them for? Forever? I'm close to the end of my first journal and am getting nervous about what I do now!!!

I'd love to see and hear about how others combine a planner with journaling. I've been trying to figure out how to make this work for myself for a while and would love to learn how others do it.
