Twelve months is both a long time and a short time. Writing things down can help us figure out what we’re doing and how we’re feeling. To know what we think. The You Don’t Have to Understand Planner offers space to sort out the ebbs and flows of any given year. You can start it now, or wait until January, it’s up to you. The planner doesn’t have dates written in it, so you can dip in and out at your own pace. Time is a construct. With a foil cover bearing the reminder “You don’t have to understand. I’m just taking care of myself,” it makes a little room for your plans and your needs.

Created by artist Carissa Potter, People I’ve Loved offers gentle encouragement for the complicated feelings that come with being human. Through thoughtful words and playful illustrations, her work makes room for honest conversations about mental health, self-compassion, and caring for one another—small reminders that we don’t have to have it all figured out, or go through it alone.
