Review Shit I Did in My 20s
This journal, "Shit I Did in My 20s," is a riot! The title alone is a guaranteed conversation starter, and it perfectly sets the tone for the entire experience. It's not your grandma's dusty old diary; this is a vibrant, engaging, and hilariously honest exploration of those wild and crazy years. It's less about meticulously recording events, and more about capturing the essence of your twenties – the exhilarating highs, the cringe-worthy lows, and everything delightfully messy in between.
What I truly appreciate is how cleverly designed it is to encourage reflection without feeling like a chore. The prompts are fantastic – they're witty, thought-provoking, and designed to unlock memories you might have long buried (or desperately tried to forget!). Instead of just writing, you're encouraged to be creative: drawings, photos, ticket stubs – anything that helps you relive those moments. It's a scrapbook, a diary, and a therapy session all rolled into one gloriously chaotic package.
Some reviewers mentioned that the dotted pages might not be for everyone, preferring lined paper for their writing style. And I can see that point; the lack of lines definitely pushes you outside your comfort zone and encourages a less rigid approach to journaling. But that, to me, is part of its charm. It forces you to be visual, to think creatively about how you’ll present your memories on the page. For someone who likes structure, this might be a challenge, but for those who embrace the unconventional, it's a fantastic feature.
I also find the suggestion that this journal is better for those currently in their twenties, rather than reflecting back, to be debatable. While documenting experiences in real-time offers a unique immediacy, the perspective gained from looking back with the wisdom (or at least the slightly more jaded viewpoint) of hindsight is invaluable. It allows you to see the bigger picture, to understand the lessons learned (and the mistakes that will hopefully never be repeated!). So, whether you’re currently navigating the rollercoaster of your twenties or looking back with a chuckle (and perhaps a shudder) at the chaos, this journal offers a unique and satisfying way to connect with those formative years.
Ultimately, "Shit I Did in My 20s" is more than just a journal; it's a time capsule, a celebration of self-discovery, and a reminder that those crazy, unforgettable years shaped the person you are today. It's a fun and engaging way to look back at the journey, celebrating the triumphs and learning from the stumbles. The design is fresh and inspiring, prompting introspection and laughter in equal measure. It’s the perfect gift for anyone (including yourself!) who wants to document – or reminisce about – the wild ride that is your twenties.
