And it’s already the last month of spring, how crazily fast time flies! May is probably my most favorite month of this season, and I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because it’s the time when my most favorite flowers, aka lilacs, bloom, and I always have a fresh bouquet in my room. Maybe it’s an subconscious memory connected with school/university term ending and holidays approaching, I can’t really tell why.

But somehow May feels like the most peaceful month of spring, at least for me. It’s like the drastic changes have already taken place, and now it’s time for the nature to just chill and become lusher with every day.

If April’s bullet journal was all about cherry blossoms and was a little too colorful, May is dedicated to lilacs, simplicity and peace. I wanted to represent the soothing atmosphere that I feel around this time, and I think I managed to do that. At least when I look at this page, it makes me feel so calm.

The main color scheme of the layout are different shades of purple and white, just like this gorgeous flower. And of course we have some dried lilacs as well as stickers (though I think those may be lavender, but who cares) all over the page.

I loved the idea of having a little letter in the corner, with some white lilacs coming out of it, like it opens a portal to this month. I really hope that the white flowers won’t turn brown, so I didn’t glue them to the letter, just in case.

It took me an hour to make the header, because I didn’t like the colors or fonts I used. I tried again and again, and this was the best I could do. At first I didn’t thoroughly enjoy the results, but when I added the little details around, it became alright.

And, to end this post, here are the some poetic quotes about this fascinating month.
