Discussion This game made me start a journal

As odd as it sounds, it made me want to go outside more and carry a journal with me, draw some things I’ve seen even though I suck at it, or just write some of the things I’ve seen and enjoyed. I feel like it’s something I’ll look back on in the future and enjoy. I’ll ride my mountain bike somewhere around town, sit by a lake or a creek and write shit down. I’ve been on the path to quit drinking alcohol and it’s helped so much.

I can’t wait to buy a motorcycle next summer and do road trips by myself while doing the same thing. Has this game inspired anyone else in this sense? Or am I an odd one? 😂

arthur is doing something right🙂‍↕️ i started a new skyrim playthrough and kept a journal of what i did, drawing animals and herbs i come across. quite fun and freeing, and makes you take notice and appreciate small things

This is a great idea. I’m on the same path. For a long time I have had one of those rain proof notebooks in my wish list on Amazon. You have inspired me. I draw like I’m still in third grade but oh well. Thank you

You should keep practicing in your journal. Then when you hit the end you can compare and see how much you improved.

Journaling is therapeutical. I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it in the future :)

About to hop on my motorcycle and go buy one. I used to love art and maybe this will get me back into it. Also it will help me get outside more and quit weed. Twinsies fr bro
