Hey everyone,

I am currently struggling to decide how to handle these three going forward. For context: I currently used only one notebook and I put everything in there, to do lists, deep dark feelings, documented travel memories etc. Last trip I took with my boyfriend, we journaled it together and it was super nice experience with very nice pages using both of our hand writing, little drawings etc. We did it on my notebook (the above mentioned one).

The problem I have now, is that I feel a bit bad that these really happy memories and beautiful pages, live in my journal that has all sorts of things and random stuff and not necessarily good feelings associated with it, as it contains entries about negative conflicting events.

Going forward I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it. Specially, since I want to start to journaling about happy memories like birthdays, holidays etc. Do I get a new journal where I only use it for happy memories and one for everyday stuff? How do you handle this?. Bonus questions, do you write your to do lists in your journal? Because I do and though convenient, I don't like how it looks when I flick through the pages.

Thanks!

EDIT: So many good tips! Thank you everyone for sharing!!
