100 Instagram Followers!

I got to 100 followers today! I got featured again at beautiful.journals 3 times (screenshot below - top 3 in a row)! So exciting!


1. My Dragon Mood Tracker - 138 likes
2. My Oodles of Doodles Challenge in August for Under the Sea - 79 likes
3. My September Monthly Spread - 95 likes

Too bad I don't have that many likes on my own but who knows...maybe one day? I did officially manage to get 100 followers! And the latest stats on the bullet journal subreddit, my post had 1218 views. Holy cow!

My hubby had insisted I submit my work on reddit a while ago but I just wasn't ready for it. Especially knowing how wide the possible audience can be. At least I waited for something I was proud to show.

I also got asked why I would keep a mood tracker. I didn't really think too much about it when I made one but my own response was surprising to myself. I am almost glad they asked because it helped me to realize why I was doing it in the first place.
"I decided to do one for September because I know I have a hard time when transitioning from Summer to Fall. I have been diagnosed with depression and I am hoping this will help me identify my triggers. It will be a way for me to reflect on myself and a great way to figure out what makes me feel better and what doesn't. I don't want to be reliant on antidepressants. I have tried and they just aren't for me. It is a bit tricky though, since I go through different moods throughout one day. I am also journaling regularly so this isn't my only method. Hoping to be a better me!
Simply creating this mood tracker has helped as well. Just getting creative and putting myself out there. Just posting my work was a lot of anxiety in itself but I tried it. The overwhelming positivity really helps but I still have a long way to go."
