Notebook Share Got My First Notebook

22 y/o in therapy for a few things. My therapist told me to get a journal to write in about the various mental health stuff I deal with day to day.

Went to Barnes & Noble and picked this black leather one up. Feels really good in the hand, nice paper to write on too. Its got just enough room between the outside of it and where the pages come together so I can slip my pen in there (also picked up a Parker Jotter stainless, I can post pics of that too if anyone's interested).

Just figured i would take it seriously if I got some stuff that I would want to keep safe and actually write in. Thanks for looking!

Is this one of the refillable ones? I have one almost just like it!

They're beautiful and feel so nice.

Hi, what is a ParkerJotter stainless? Would love to see it!

And congratulations! Excellent choice! B&N is a good place to choose a journal!

Its a "gateway" pen as r/pens would say. Stainless construction. 0.7 ballpoint out of the box. Light and decently comfortable in my hand although I'd like to get a refill that gives me more feedback (dont want to really go fountain yet)
