Closeness, at your own pace
You can want the embrace and want it to arrive more slowly. This illustrated journal gives you room to explore the details of contact: a welcome texture, a lighter touch, the words that help someone meet you at your pace.
Brief text snippets move between everyday sensations and the experience of receiving kindness. The blank pages leave you free to describe what you notice, draw it, or simply stay with a colour or shape. A feeling can begin as warm, tight or nothing much before you decide what else you want to say about it.
177 of the journal’s 200 pages are completely blank. There is room for a long story, a thought in the middle of the day, sketches and drawings that need a whole page. Every so often, a brief text or an illustration from the I AWAKE universe keeps you company. Five full-page numbered dot drawings give your pen something else to do: follow the numbers and see what appears.
The cover carries the colour of I Want to Be Touched. Bring the journal along while you read, or begin with whatever is on your mind today. There is no schedule to keep and no particular order to follow. These pages are yours.
