15 Things I’ve Learned From 15 Years of Journaling

15 Things I’ve Learned From 15 Years of Journaling
I started journaling on November 4th, 2008 when I was only 6 years old. That means it's officially been 15 YEARS since I first started journaling! THAT'S WILD.
In order to commemorate this milestone, I decided to share 15 things I've learned from 15 years of journaling...

I've been Journaling 3 yrs ago

[@Kpoplover209]

I’m in grade 9 and I’ve been daily journaling since may 9 in grade 7 I haven’t missed a day I’ve filled up bullet journals 5 mins journals and ofc my daily journals I started in grade 4 when my grandpa gave me a journal that he wrote a letter in for me but I was very inconsistent until I watched ur vids so thanks for making me have my biggest passion ❤

[@makenziecabrera3932]

Oh i loved this video so much! I started my 2nd journal on the 13th of October and i started journaling because of you!❤ Thank you!❤❤

[@Girl-21222]

I love you Carrie you are my favorite ytber in the worl cuz of you i started journaling ty so much for your hard work❤❤❤❤❤❤ and how are you btw? What have you been up to? Hows college?Im 10 so i have no idea about collage

[@aricbalser2647]

i do miss u but i steel love tour video my q what is your next video

[@flybalbu]

Started journaling this summer and i've noticed that it helps me controls my emotions better and vent less to people which is a benefit as it makes me less toxic Even during school days, I will journal before doing homework, it's a non negotiable for me, it helps me get out emotions before attacking the homework. Even if I lose an hour of time i could be spending on homework, it helps me do it more efficiently. I'm at my 2nd journal and I think i still have about a month left of journaling in it before it'll fill

[@CarrieWalker]

Yesss👏🏻👏🏻 the self awareness you have to even realize that is so amazing!! So so happy you’ve found such a great outlet for self growth❤️

[@emmmmas]

I can really relate with the memory thing! I find that even if I don't read back on the entry, the fact that I wrote about it before solidifies it in my head. Sometimes I'll remember something random like something funny someone said that day or where we ate lunch or what time we got back.

[@CarrieWalker]

Same!! Writing about things makes you remember it in that moment which helps you remember it later on. It’s a great study method too!

[@tristantheoofer2]

wait yeah im the same holy shit. like stuff i write ends up being easier to remember no matter what it is lmao

[@emmmmas]

@@tristantheoofer2 exactly!! except for when i'm studying for a test. then i can't remember anything.

[@LaurenxOtt]

My memory is basically nonexistent without writing things down and my journals are crazy and I know I’m gonna look back at it and cringe but also really enjoy my entries. It’s crazy how time has passed. I started journaling regularly on April 22nd and since then I’ve graduated hs, started my freshman year of college, experienced so much, and cried a lot lol.

[@Char-lc9cs]

OMG congrats!! You're the one who encouraged me to start a diary. And now I am almost done with my 3rd one! I wish you very well and thank you so much for encouraging me start journaling. It really helped with my mental health!😁

Thank you for inspiring me to daily journal 💗

[@amazinpiggy]

Wow congratulations for 15 years of journaling. I have been journaling for 11 months. Although I had done some journalling 6 years ago for a year. You got me inspired to do it. I needed a way to outlet my emotions and feelings. So I made it my New Year's resolution to journal everyday. I do my feelings and what I did for the day. I use an app on my phone which I paid for, I put all my photos that I took in it, any videos that I took. It has definitely strengthen my vocabulary. Having a safe space I can say how I truly feel without judgement. It's the best thing I have done. Thank you, you are such an inspiration. 🐷 xx

[@PinkHawk191]

Right now I am writing about my struggles with my mental health issues. I have been journaling since I was in school. I will finish my 35th journal and in a few days. I will start my 36th journal in a few days.

I've been journaling for 18 years! It's crazy to think that I almost have 2/3 of my life written down but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm definitely in the older demographic of your audience but I still appreciate your content and your perspective on life and journaling!

I had to right a person essay for one of my english classes. And my journals helped me so much since I have a terrible memory. I ask had half of my essay already writed 6:26

[@Stephanie-hl7lo]

I was just watching one of your journaling videos (love them btw) and you were talking about how to start and end your journals. I have also been journaling for a really long time, and I had an idea I wanted to share with you, so my journals usually have pockets in the back, and I write a letter to my future self and put it in the pocket I wanted to see what you thought about that idea? I thought it would be neat to look back on,,

[@tahliamartin6426]

I have been doing a different style of journaling for the last three years that is called internal family system therapy writing, which has give me a lot of insight about myself. I also have been journaling over 30 years but not every day.

Let me, ask You couple questions on my bad english. 1. What questions would You like to be asked by your journal?. 2. What is that, one think that really makes You happy in life? 3. Last one question. Acctually, I ask my self this question werry often. Is this, life really You want to live?. I mean, life don't have replay botton. This is the only moral life that we are going to expirience.
