How to Use This Journal There’s no right or wrong way to meet your person, and no right or wrong way to use this journal. A few options: Right after a date ends, open this journal and jot down a few notes while the experience is still fresh in your mind. - Schedule a journaling date once a week. For instance, every Sunday evening, you could take a hot shower, change into comfy loungewear, and spend a few minutes writing in this journal. - Or, use this journal whenever you’re in the mood without scheduling any particular time. That works, too! For Your Eyes Only You can be completely honest and vulnerable in this journal. Everything you put inside is locked in the vault. Unlike frenemies and certain exes, journals don’t ever spill your secrets. However, one day in the future, it might be fun to share a page or two with your partner—especially if they’re a main character in the journal! You could show them, “Here’s what I wrote about our first date…” or “The first thing I noticed when we met…” They’ll love time-traveling into the past and learning what was going through y
