I received this as a Christmas gift from my Nephew Nicholas. I had mentioned to him that at night when I couldn't sleep I write. I write poems, stories and whatever I am feeling.Well he bought it for me and I use it every night. Just before I go to bed I have a lot on my mind. I am a business professional with a very stressful job and have a very stressful life. This has been the best release I have ever found. I write and write until my brain finally relaxes and then I sleep great. It's also a great way to reflect on past experiences and see how much better or worse things are. One unusual feature is that the cover glows in the dark. I keep it on my night stand and besides a journal its also a night light. Love it. Buy it.
