Photo of a young woman's hands and arms as she holds a pen while writing in a journal. The journal is lined, open, and has a dark, soft cover. She is holding a black pen in her right hand and is writing on the page. There's a coffee cup on the table and the background is blurred out. The image feels warm and soft. The girl also has silver jewellery on her right index finger and middle finger, and one on the middle finger of her left hand.
