1.
You've spent a liiiiittle more money than you'd care to admit on journals and all their accoutrements.
2.
You don't understand the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" because you only buy beautiful journals.
3.
This is basically porn.
4.
You're always toting one around with you, you know, just in case.
5.
Let's face it: You line your shelves with journals the way some people line their shelves with novels.
6.
Many of them are completely blank, minus a few pages of stray thoughts and doodles.
7.
"Just a peek" into a stationery store or bookstore always ends with at least one impulse buy.
8.
You can't not buy one if it complements another one you already own.
9.
Which is great, because there's no greater satisfaction than purchasing a brand-new journal filled with crisp pages.
10.
As well as a nice, new pen to go with it, because you can never have too many of those.
11.
Every purchase comes with a mental promise to become a faithful daily diarist.
12.
Or, if you're truly ambitious, a bullet journal-er.
13.
You spend lots of time browsing through Instagram and blogs to find fun ways to jazz up all those pages.
14.
There's no better feeling than cracking open a brand new one and writing on the first, fresh page.
15.
Spending minutes or hours writing or drawing in one is fulfilling and relaxing AF.
16.
Even though you write everything down, you sometimes can't find a particular note because it could be in at least three different journals.
17.
Your friends and family always know what to get you for holidays and your birthday.
18.
Deep down, you think you might have a problem, but there are so many worse things to be addicted to.
