Journal for the Fictional Adult

€9,00

Not a planner. Not a fix. Just a soft place to land.

This journal was created for days when functioning feels optional and being “okay” is already enough. It offers gentle structure without expectation — a place to pause, reflect, doodle, and exist without needing to improve or explain yourself. There are no goals to reach and no pages to complete. You move through it intuitively, returning whenever life feels loud or heavy.

Inside you’ll find:

  • 15 pages with 11 cozy, non-linear rituals

  • Open doodle space, light checklists, and emotional weather prompts

  • Sensory resets, soft reflections, and playful grounding moments

  • Zero pressure, no schedules, no productivity framing

A good fit for:

  • Overthinkers with soft hearts

  • Neurospicy humans navigating everyday overwhelm

  • Cozy souls who find comfort in small rituals, familiar objects, and gentle humor

This journal isn’t here to fix you. It’s here to sit with you.
- Amy

Designed to Hold You, Not Change You

A calm, playful structure that helps you process overstimulation, emotional fatigue, and everyday chaos — gently, at your own pace.

  • A safe place to land when everything feels like too much
  • Emotional relief without having to “solve” or optimize yourself
  • Gentle grounding through humor, softness, and familiar rituals
  • Permission to exist imperfectly — without guilt or timelines
  • A repeatable companion you can return to whenever life feels loud
  • Subtle nervous-system regulation through sensory and reflective prompts
  • Emotional validation instead of self-improvement pressure

How It Works

Open to Where You Are

There is no starting point. You begin on the page that matches your current mood, energy, or level of chaos.

Engage Lightly

Draw, write, skip, scribble, or pause. The journal adapts to you — not the other way around.

Return Without Obligation

Come back whenever you need softness, grounding, or a reminder that “okay” is enough.

About the Creator

This journal was created by Amy, the voice behind Fictional Adulting. It grew out of a need for something that wasn’t a planner, a system, or a fix — but a place to land. Her work is shaped by everyday overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, humor, and the quiet understanding that functioning doesn’t always look polished. This journal reflects that perspective: gentle, imperfect, and intentionally soft. It’s made for people who feel deeply, get tired easily, and are learning to be kinder to themselves without needing to become someone else first.

This product was built in collaboration with Arclane.
