I've been using this 5 year Leuchtturm diary since April 2022 and it is holding up amazingly well.
(Also Hi everyone! I'm new on this subreddit but have been keeping diaries since 2010.)

So what’s the bottom section for?

It's a 5 year journal. There's a page for each day of the year, sectioned for 5 entries per page.

That's a beautiful journal - the diary and your journalling style, both. 🤩❤️

This is such an interesting journal..? Wow, I didn't know a thing like this existed but, I'm glad I came across it. Your handwriting looks cool and congrats on staying so consistent!

Thanks! They are one of my favourite kinds to write in. It feels quite empty the first year, but then suddenly you have past-you's company.

Late reply for which I'm sorry about but, I think I will try and look for this kind of journal honestly. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

Nice. I have been using Leuchtturm A1 notebooks for years now, and they hold up well (except that elastic strap weakens over time). I notice that you write on both sides of the paper, and with many inks this works well enough, though writing on one side allows you to return later and further annotate something you touched on lightly.

That's awesome! I'm on my 4th year of doing this type of journal and going strong. I love that you are writing in cursive. Few people still do nowadays.

That looks fantastic!
I've been doing mine for 1.5 years now and it's really cool to read what I did on the exact day the previous year (even if it is just mundane stuff lol). Do you ever miss any days? Seems like you've been quite consistent.
