I decided to create niwniw when I realized my struggles in keeping records and track of my life. I’ve had multiple journals and planners, but things in real life are chaotic to me and I often get stuck, lost… I concluded that a virtual journal would be just perfect for me, as it has infinite pages I won’t have problems when “ripping them off”, or adding decorations and playing possibilities. Then I started working on the mini polymer clay sculptures and decided to launch my little store. I hope you like it!

niwniw definitely isn’t a way to run from my thoughts, it is more like a way to give time to them. It’s also way I found to make myself live more the present and the now, as the imbalance I have with the future, spending endlessly hours daydreaming.

So, to clearly define it:

Niwniw is a virtual box where I store everything I care about. It’s almost mid 2024 and I just started feeding this box, but I can tell that in no time it will be flourished with all my thoughts, feelings and stories… I will keep the journal hidden because the focus now is on sharing the products.

If you ever get a chance in life, make yourself a digital journal, put out your infinite virtual box, and fill it up with everything you love.

I’m also planing to visit this archives when I feel blue. To remind myself of all the good moments I had (like that day the cranky child ran to hug me). I really need to be reminded of those moments, specially in the dark days where is hard to see the light… It also feels like my memory fogs even more in these moments. The fog comes from the desire to end the suffering, and it’s easier to go down hill than it is to climb up, so I would say the fog is a mechanism to scape suffering. Either by using it to ignore the bad memories or by using it to ignore the good ones. You can look at the fog and assume good moments were never there, and will never be there, or you can act to make a change. One must choose to believe that they deserve the chance to taste happiness.
