Distance 2025 Journal Set

Thank you for your love and support for the Simple is journal! The journals have currently sold out, and we've received many inquiries about restocking. Here's a unified explanation: As I run the studio alone, I prefer to sell in fixed quantities within my capacity (ensuring quality and quantity). This approach guarantees that each journal's value, quality, and warmth are felt by its owner. Therefore, we release a fixed quantity each year, and once sold out, there are no restocks. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold our dedication to quality, bringing you more exquisite and heartfelt journals. We look forward to meeting you again with next year's journals, hoping they become your companion for recording life and reflecting on yourself. Thank you for your support; we will keep striving. ❤️ https://youtube.com/shorts/TSEICvGp_Uo?si=PT7RAabrRErsIcCy Journal unboxing video https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024061692_6760f00ba9_c_d.jpg Inspired by the script dialogue from "The Zoo Story," exploring communication and loneliness between people. Seemingly ordinary conversations, hiding profound reflections on human alienation, symbolizing that we often need communication, reflection, and introspection to truly understand ourselves. Therefore, this is not a journal filled with extensive lists and Q&A prompts, but an invitation to reflect on ourselves through life experiences and conversations, creating a connection for you and me as we seek answers. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288699_e0809c1762_c_d.jpg **: Cover Design and Material:** This season's color palette is set to coffee brown, evoking a classic, dialogue-rich vintage style. The material is eco-friendly paper, offering a delicate, matte-like texture, resonating with the atmosphere of "The Zoo Story." https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025401015_62099966ec_c_d.jpg :2025 :Planner The cover features a matte silver foil effect, symbolizing the journal's theme commencing with dialogue. Under different angles, it reveals subtle branching patterns, implying the variations in seeing and understanding things from different times and perspectives. These branching paths also represent how individual choices lead to different futures. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288704_e328d52702_c_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024061487_8ff93d2ffb_c_d.jpg The spine is understated, simply displaying: Planner. "2025" and the brand logo are presented with an embossed effect, subtle and not overshadowing the design, yet revealing a unique texture from various angles. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024956976_bdb9a374b1_c_d.jpg **: Back Cover Design:** The back cover design is a personal favorite. Inspired by Jerry from "The Zoo Story," attempting to recount events on his way to the zoo to Peter, it conveys an eagerness for understanding. The word "you" in this monologue is particularly emphasized, symbolizing the distance and solitude between people. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288739_9d37d23fde_c_d.jpg **: Bookmark Design:** The bookmark uses symbols of emphasis on text and dialogue. A vibrant orange bookmark string is chosen for easy visibility and as a reminder. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024956876_c73e04f7e6_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Material:** The inner pages are made of 100g beige Dowling paper with khaki-printed text, retaining dialogue boxes and essential time tables, emphasizing the core theme of conversation. **: Inner Page Introduction | Order:** 2025 Yearly Calendar → January Monthly Calendar → January Weekly Calendar → January Life Log → February to November repeats Monthly Calendar, Weekly Calendar, Life Log → December Monthly Calendar → December Weekly Calendar → 2025 Year-End Review → December Life Log → Blank Pages → "We'll Talk About It in 2026" Section https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024052702_f936838c2a_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Name:** Write your name to begin your 2025. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024948091_d0302557e1_c_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024061612_3b8480d66b_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Yearly Calendar:** A clear and concise presentation of all 365 days of the year, allowing you to view your annual plan at a glance. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025183493_ccd0c25b30_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Monthly Calendar:** Each monthly calendar includes a quote from "The Zoo Story," offering inspiration for thought or writing. You can continue the dialogue or simply skip it and use it as a brief note. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024957066_7b6d542fff_c_d.jpg As the weekly planner is already detailed with a to-do list table, the monthly calendar space is designed as a single page. Freely write down appointments or draw small illustrations. The right-hand page can be used for to-do items or a dialogue box, to record conversations and self-reflections as they arise. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025192653_a9a8862450_c_d.jpg The small dots before the to-do items can be used with the complimentary stamp to mark more important tasks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025183448_799141214c_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Weekly Calendar:** Each week's calendar includes the dates, with the page divided into two sections: for recording important events, daily moods, or quick notes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025279804_105b2dde63_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Log:** The last two pages of each month provide a "Life Log" section, including a theme, date, and dialogue box. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288724_3b0e64aaa3_c_d.jpg Here, you can record weekly life details, or jot down movie quotes, novel excerpts, or conversations with others, leaving clues for future review. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025391800_a29f77c75a_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Review:** The last week of December includes a special "Year-End Review" page, allowing you to reflect on your progress and achievements throughout the year. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025401025_fc1cee2622_c_d.jpg The text in the bottom right corner is a quote that I feel perfectly resonates with the year-end review: "People can have part of what he wants but never everything." https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024957021_d1ebaaaf89_c_d.jpg Perhaps we are all greedy, wanting to achieve our goals within a specific timeframe. When things are left unfinished, we might feel disappointed. But in reality, we've put in a lot of effort during the process. So why not first acknowledge what you have accomplished? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025279819_16700b1ab4_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | Blank:** This year's blank pages feature a dot grid with a 15% opacity. This subtle grid assists in writing while providing ample space for imagination. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025391790_686b4d9e64_c_d.jpg **: Inner Page Introduction | We'll Talk About It in 2026:** Finally, a special space is reserved for items not completed this year: "We'll Talk About It in 2026." If you find you can't finish your 2025 plans, gently set them aside to be revisited next year. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288719_fc8cab48ca_c_d.jpg **: Journal Gift | Stamp & Ink Pad:** The circles within the dialogue symbols are a core design element of the 2025 journal. Important items will be marked with filled circles. All text and dots throughout the journal have been meticulously designed, making the stamp a perfect correspondence for marking. Based on your requests, we have added multiple ink pad color options: * Vintage tones: Bronze Orange, Coffee Brown, Wine Red * Blue-green tones: Forest Green, Ocean Green, Deep Sea Blue * Classic black and gray tones https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024061537_5251b606f0_c_d.jpg **: Customized Exclusive Packaging:** This year's packaging has also been upgraded! The packaging will include a sticker with the name of the purchaser or recipient. If no specific gift giver name is noted, the purchaser's name will be used by default, bringing a sense of exclusivity and the surprise of receiving a gift. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54025288784_10ba50bf47_c_d.jpg **: Early Bird Exclusive:** A special thank-you card was gifted to early birds (now gone). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024061682_f5a623d60f_c_d.jpg **: Lastly:** "Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly." This signifies that understanding and reflection require time, and also demand your own exploration. Through writing and reviewing, find your own answers. Write each page uniquely, without relying on templates. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54024957056_e0db84fa78_c_d.jpg We hope the journal is not merely a tool for recording life, but also an opportunity to discover deeper meaning in life's conversations and to engage in dialogue with yourself. Whether it's unfinished plans or unanswered questions, they will all find their answers under your pen. • Size | A5 210*148*16mm • Cover | Eco-friendly paper, embossed matte silver foil • Inner Pages | 100g beige Dowling paper • Pages | 212 pages • Gift | 1 Stamp & 1 Ink Pad
