There are some thoughts and memories you just want to hold onto for longer than a moment. With the 2nd Story Goods Story Journals, you can put pen to paper and create a world where your narrative lasts forever. These journals aren't just a collection of blank pages—they're a space to explore, reflect, and create your story. 

At their core, Story Journals are inspired by the idea that we’re all in the process of writing our own stories. Life is full of twists, turns, and endless possibilities, and these journals invite us to pause and capture them, one page at a time. Whether you’re jotting down daily to-dos, capturing a fleeting thought, or reflecting on life’s deeper questions, these journals are designed to be your companion in the journey.

Each Word Has Meaning

What sets Story Journals apart are the words on the cover. You don’t just pick a journal—you choose the word that resonates with your current chapter. Here’s the rundown: 

• Remember: When life is moving fast and you just need to slow down, you can use this journal to record memories, favorite quotes, or truths that anchor you. It’s a space dedicated to helping us hold onto the important things.
  
  
• Possibilities: The possibilities journal is all about dreaming and opening your mind to new perspectives. Whether you’re sketching out plans or imagining new realities, this journal invites you to consider that everything really might be okay. As they say, the possibilities are endless!
  
  
• Helpful Information: Life is filled with details—addresses, birthdays, travel plans—but it’s also packed with emotions that can sometimes feel overwhelming. This journal encourages us to see emotions not as problems but as information to observe, process, and learn from. It’s a simple yet profound compass for navigating life’s changing winds. 

Handmade with Heart

The story behind these journals is just as beautiful as the product itself. They are handmade in Jubilee, a small developing community on the outskirts of Gonaives, Haiti. Benson, the talented artisan behind these journals, runs his workshop that employs over 20 people. Each journal is crafted with care, using 100% local and upcycled materials. When you purchase a Story Journal, you’re not just supporting 2nd Story Goods—you’re uplifting a community, contributing to sustainable practices, and helping change lives.

With its simple, elegant design, unlined white paper, and 6 x 9” dimensions, this journal is as practical as it is meaningful. It’s the perfect size to take with you wherever your story unfolds next.

The Power of Self-Talk

Alongside the journals, 2nd Story Goods offers Story Stickers—a set of five beautifully designed stickers to gently remind you of the power of self-talk. These stickers feature some of our founder, MK’s, favorite phrases to keep us grounded and inspired. While the stickers are small enough to slip onto a notebook or a laptop, the words themselves pack an immense punch.

Whether you keep these stickers for yourself or gift them to a friend, they’re a sweet, simple way to make sure the words that matter most stick with us.

A 2nd Story for All of Us

At the heart of everything 2nd Story Goods does is a driving belief that it’s never too late to choose a new narrative—a 2nd story—for ourselves. Whether through a journal, a sticker, or the many other handmade goods available, they remind us that each moment offers a fresh start.

Life is complex, full of peaks and valleys, but with the right tools, we can all craft a story worth telling. So grab a journal, embrace the possibilities, and start writing your next chapter today.
