Wreck this Journal? Really??

I buy journals all the time with the intention of writing in them. Pink fuzzy journals, sleek black journals, pocket-size journals, and journals with crisp, fresh paper just waiting for my wistful reflections. For the first few days after my new journal purchase, I'm completely motivated to write. I crawl in bed, pull my journal into my lap, and write, write, write about everything and nothing. Man, what a feeling!But then, something happens that I'm not proud of. I stop writing. Completely.

Then, after months of not writing, staring at my journal and feeling ashamed for not writing, I go out and buy a brand new journal, thinking that it will motivate me to begin writing. And it does! For about a week. Ok, you see where this is going. The vicious journal cycle repeats itself.


Well, guess what! I've found a journal that won't leave me feeling ashamed and embarrassed about my journal-abandonment issues any longer. This is a journal that you don't even have to WRITE in! All you have to do is completely destroy it. Seriously!


Here are some of the ridiculous yet incredibly satisfying things that you may do to this journal:
Fling it at a wall
Shower with it
Spill coffee on it
Write on it with food
Scribble really hard on it
Sleep with it

If you are a commited journal writer, do not even open this book. It will most likely make you angry. However, if your journal topics are lame or just the thought of picking up a pen and recording your deepest thoughts makes you break out in hives, I suggest you crack open your piggy bank and invest in your mental health.
I promise you this journal will not collect dust on your nightstand!
