About us
Welcome to First Page Friends Journaling Social Circle! If you've ever wanted to start journaling but didn't know where to begin, or if you have a collection of beautiful notebooks that are still empty, this group is for you. We're a friendly, low-pressure community for absolute beginners. There's no right or wrong way to journal here, and you certainly don't need to be a "writer" to join us. Our goal is simply to explore journaling together in a supportive and relaxed environment.
We'll meet up regularly at local cafes or quiet spots in the park to spend some time writing together. We'll often start with a few simple, optional prompts to get the words flowing, followed by some quiet time to write, and then a chance to chat and connect with others. Sharing what you've written is always completely optional; sometimes it's just nice to talk about the process or enjoy a coffee with new friends. Think of it as a gentle nudge to carve out a little time for yourself, with some good company.
All you need to bring is a notebook and a pen you enjoy using. We're here to help each other turn that intimidating blank first page into a welcoming space for your thoughts. We look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together.
