This is VULNERABLE for me - but so are growing pains and making new friends and falling in love...aka all of the best things. Thank you for being here, thank you for watching

[@rebeccastearmer4290]

This is my new comfort video. I have a feeling I will return again and again and again to this vibey comfy video 🥰

That’s crazy that the journal was as old as him when you met him and that it was made in the state AND city he grew up in! 😳 That’s beyond coincidence.

Every journal I keep is a HUGE part of my destiny. HUGE. I love playing around with my own fate. And my own journaling journey. ✨📓❤️‍🩹

[@pontmercyingthroughlife150]

every time i watch one of your videos, i immediately run to my journal before the video is over. you're such a huge inspiration to me and my relationship to my journaling, and it brings me so much joy. thanks for always sending me the spark i need to ignite my creative fire

[@OverallAdventures]

Thank you SO much lovely

[@Zygro98acopalypse]

I wrote “Tina new upload” in my bujo today because I had a lot of stressful tasks to get done and I needed something to look forward to. So glad I’ve got your channel to look forward to again.

[@earnestwonder8703]

Ooh an hour of journaling. I’m so ready for the throwback. I recognize a few already

[@learnlove1848]

I love how I can see the progression of how a person develops cognitively and emotionally in each stage of childhood through adulthood through your journaling journey. From concrete to the slow introduction of grasping the abstract in life. I always loved writing too, but never really fell into the habit/discipline of daily writing until I was in my 30s. Thank you for being so open with your life.

[@pameehanson3866]

Not sure why but I dumped several of my journals only to realize that was not a good idea. I can't go back and now I keep them even if I don't finish one. I do mostly art journaling, memory keeping, doodles and junk journaling. They reflect where you have been and where you are going. I love to follow people who do lots of journaling and get inspiration for mine, Thank You

[@eleanork3186]

This was such a wonderful video - I'm 16 and you've just convinced me to begin daily journaling! Thank you so much :)

[@londonjohnson351]

Same!!!

[@centimeters1990]

Speaking as a 31 year old: yes to journaling now! Write down all the feelings and thoughts and things you think are weird or even seem cringey now, because when you're older you'll look back with love on who you were when you wrote it💕

[@itsabelletime]

yes!!!! join the club!!! - a 20 y/o who started around the same age as you

[@mimicoolll0]

i started journals a lot and i have a lot of unfinished ones from when i was younger but i’m committing myself now to being more consistent at 20 (about to turn 21 in three months)

[@jejealbert]

Omg what u said about using music! That’s exactly what I did in all my high school journals, I’d have what I call “lyric logs” where I wrote down lyrics that I related to, or loved, and if I was playing a song while writing, I’d write at the top “currently listening to: “ and now when i read back on all my journals, I can see how much my music taste evolved and it’s fun to relisten to songs I wrote down and being taken back to that moment!

[@OverallAdventures]

Love the phrase ‘lyric log’ so beautiful!!

[@Amber24426]

I feel like this year I’ve had what sounds like the near-equivalent of your 2014 year… just a lot of darkness and a great deal of struggle in trying to wade through looming amorphous, indiscernable shadows. Of course, I wouldn’t wish this sort of turmoil on anyone, but it brought me comfort to hear you talk about how difficult 2014 was for you- it made me feel like maybe I won’t always be this stuck. It’s also comforting to know that 2014 you was probably around the same age as me currently? Right now I am two years post-undergrad, which has been quite a painful and ongoing adjustment for me, adapting to the world without formal education as my backbone. Anyways, thank you for your transparency in acknowledging the heaviness of certain spans of your life. It is beyond helpful to those like me, searching for something to make sense of experiences which often otherwise feel quite hopelessly futile.

[@ritika15996]

This is perhaps one of my most favourite videos on KZbin, ever! I have had a similar journey with journalling, and this video has taught me so much more about self acceptance and embracing the different chapters of life. Honestly, it made me feel much less lonely in my own journalling practice, because I've felt like needing to write for my mental well-being is a luxury and sometimes perceived as a weakness or indulgence. It's only after therapy that I'm becoming more okay with needing to process things in my own way. So thank you so much for this video, I feel incredibly seen! Lots of ❤️ ☀️

[@meredithwoody2013]

It's so neat to see how your journaling style changed and evolved over all the years

[@ckirkwood9]

just heard you referenced on Howard Stern... your views are going to blow up!

[@benedictflanagan9353]

I just moved out from Qatar a year ago after having been born and raised there, so I did a double take when you said you guys lived there for a while lol. Small world!

[@OverallAdventures]

It's a small world! We adore Qatar - it will always have a special place in our hearts

[@makenna1339]

I just love your voice, the calming atmosphere you create, and how authentic you are.

[@joannas322]

This was so cool to watch and listen as someone who's been keeping up with you and watching for years! You are/were such a huge part of my journaling journey and I watched this today while writing in my journal (again) which was like a collision of worlds because you were reminiscing and I was there with you going back to the days when I would watch your videos and journal. Life is crazy ❤️

[@heavenxmint9333]

So glad you are posting again, thank you for the journal collection share! These are my favorite videos 🥰

[@cecirimi]

That was amazing. I've journaled on and off through the years I've been on for more than a decade now. I did journal in high school but my mom had a love affair with the garbage and managed to throw away my junk journals, art journals and even art work I had created in high school so I have nothing of that time in my life where I went through so many changes and learned to survive alone. You will leave your kids a great history. Which is what I dream of but it seems like no one around me is interested in journaling. Not even my friends. So I continue on this journey that has seen me through many many bright and dark days. I love that you've managed to bring it all together in one journal. I've done the same. Easier I guess.Thank you for sharing it was inspiring.

[@Melyyrose]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video! It’s so inspiring 😍😍♥️♥️♥️ Love how you know what each journal represents to you ✨✨

[@sadieann4244]

I’ve journaled off and on throughout the years but recently have gotten back into daily journaling because of you. I love your videos and your sunshine personality

[@nstjean24]

here because howard stern talked about you on his show. glad to be here!

[@roisinbb]

I'm soooo excited to watch this, especially as it's 59 minutes long!!! I'm so happy, like you're so inspiring and you've really been a huge influence in my journals I write for my ptsd and healing, I'm so glad you're posting videos again, you're angel! 💓😊

[@daria7362]

I just wanted to say how happy and grateful I am that you are back. I love your authenticity and this channel has definetely been one of my favorites for the past few years💕

[@etoilesinde]

the most awaited video! what a trip, journal #50 was the only one I recognized from previous videos, it stuck in my mind because its so beautiful and unique

[@RobertGasperson]

I like the small sketchbooks I get from Walmart. I keep it in my back pocket. When something comes up, I get an idea, I can pull it out and write it down.

[@btwjournals8384]

I don’t think there are enough words to share my excitement for this video! Your journal collections have been a safe place for me that I often turn to when I feel low and seeing this new one honestly fills me with joy

[@joeymac9413]

I'm here because of Howard Stern!!

[@footballlover9207]

Oooh can't wait to watch this tbrought the day! Also at the beginning I think you were talking about the Dear America book series which actually inspired me to journal about current events as well as regular silly stuff lol

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I tried to journal at various points when I was a kid and teen but it never stuck. Then I started a notes to my future self type notebook when I was in college and whenever I have stuff I want to note I write it down. That began as close to a “regular” journal as I have ever had, although 4 years later I am still only in my second book. Then I got into fountain pens a year and a half ago and look for excuses to write so I have been getting more regular with it.

[@rebeccastearmer4290]

IM SORRY, IS THIS AN HOUR LONG JOURNAL VIDEO FROM MY FAVORITE PEROSN ON YT?? Guess dinner is going to have to wait another hour 😍😍

[@jessie65]

Tina, thanks for sharing your journaling collection with us! Like you said, it is amazing for journalers to be able to hold their own history in their hands. They are tangible memories that can transport us back in time, and perhaps in the future serve to transport someone else back in time. Yay for journaling!

[@malry]

Literally incredible, you’re such an inspiration, Tina!! Thank you so much for being so open about this amazing hobby :)

[@farr_jms7707]

what an amazing video Tina! i also started journaling early but all of my early ones are nowhere to be found or i probably ripped the pages off. i started getting "serious" about it during 9th grade as well and now, in college, it's just a part of me. i love journaling so much. it was fun watching this video and seeing how you grew!!

[@crystallugo946]

Your videos always make me so happy! You were beaming when talking about your husband-related journals. I’d love to hear about your love story through a flip through 🥺🤍

[@marisarodriguez7890]

This is one of my favorite videos. I always find myself coming back to this video and her love story video. Beautiful. Especially since Tina isn’t currently making videos I come back to watch these when I’m in the mood.

[@haleykirkseygraham]

Hi Tina this is AMAZING! What an awesome collection! I loved every second of listening to you talk about your experience. Just like I was listening to a friend. :) I've journaled for a lot of my life as well, especially in recent years. It is such a great feeling to hold a completed journal in your hands. Thank you for sharing all of this. I very much appreciated discussing your favorite kinds of paper and your thoughts and preferences on the paper in your journals. lol I love paper, and I regularly glue and tape all sorts of things into my journals. I'm a huge composition notebook fan! Thanks for this view into your journaling experience.

[@theworkspace753]

BRAVE and AMAZING! The authentic, genuine and heartfelt connection to you and your journals brings a renewed sense of hope! Thank you sooo much for sharing. Shine bright and keep on sharing! Your videos are making that type of difference in so many of our lives. Cheers!!!

[@chickpea734]

i watched this entire video and it has inspired me to pick up my journal which i havent done in a little while. it was also inspiring to see how you got over those dark times in your life and now you look so happy! thank you

I heard about you from the howard stern show!!! awesome collection!!!

I’ve watched this so many times but I just love this video so much

[@rebeccastearmer4290]

Girl you are GLOWING! Your old flip throughs in 2014 and 15 you were so sad and watching you here is so neat! You don't seem as sad because you know how your story ends. Its amazing to see you so happy. I can it describe the amount of joy I felt seeing you so joyful after watching videos of you so sad. You are proof that life does get better and even after going through it, you can still find the light at the end of the tunnel. And its so cool that the evidence of it is through journals! I adore you and am so soo happy you're happy!!! Also, I think we all want to hear that epic love story 😏😏😍

[@marisarodriguez7890]

I love this video so much. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this video

[@Sunshine-yk2eg]

Idk how to describe it but Tina, just the way you talk about your own life with so much honesty, acceptance and self compassion has really really reallyyyy helped me accept myself and ly own life experiences, and embrace my own tough times and I'm just so grateful for that ❤🌿 Also, I wonder if you would ever consider publishing your journals...not the personal stuff obviously, but the beautiful creative and artsy bits, the collages, poems and musings... 🙈👉👈

[@sarahsilvere]

Tina, thank you so much for this beautiful video ❤️ Everything was so honest, raw and vulnerable. One of the best videos about journaling - and life actually. Thank you so much for your generosity 💕

What a fun video! I loved traveling back through the journals with you.

[@itsabelletime]

this video has been out for a week but I've only just gotten to sit down and watch it... I wanted to make sure I was in the right headspace for it and able to journal as I watched 😊 this was a really interesting video and I love how it was like a journaling version of a "draw my life" video... but instead you told your life through the stories you've written down throughout it!!! such a cool way to do a journal collection! glad things are looking up in life again ❤I would love to hear about you and luke's love story! I remember those journals you said you were in when you met him so It's exciting to think back on those times through your videos and see all the good that was coming for you 🌼

[@priyasambasivan2249]

Love this video! And I love that you show just writing, too. It’s nice to embrace that some pages don’t have to have pretty things :)

[@catarinapedreira3231]

This is truly inspiring! :) Thank you so much for sharing. For me, journaling is almost like magic. Being able to see exactly how you thought is just amazing, probably the closest thing to time-traveling we have right now.

[@WitchyWidow777]

I absolutely adore that Journal #50 was such a fateful journal!! So cool!!! I am 31 years old, and I've been journaling since i was 15 too!! Sadly, in a fit of emotion, I threw away the journals from my teenage years (I was abused in my childhood, and had a fit of "I DONT WANT ANY OF THIS ANYMORE"), lol. I regret it SO MUCH. But, i do have all the journals from when i met my Husband, all the way up to when He Passed. And now, i write letters in my journal to Him every day. I'm at Journal #60

[@OverallAdventures]

I also love how beautiful it is to see that every time you go through stages in your journals you go up the stairs :)

[@philipbianco4359]

[@سَارة-ت4ظ]

I'm in that phase where I take journaling too serious. I feel guilty if I collage something in it. I love journaling but these emotion keep coming whenever I journal and I always get the feeling that I should NOT write about my emotion or my day and write something really cool like a poem or a short story :(

[@jadwigaweever]

[@tiffanyachermann6063]

did you finish all these journals??? Can you give tips as to how you finished them? I've had the same journal for 3 years just because I'm so inconsistent and feel like I need to finish this journal before I start another one.

[@sadie1486]

I was stuck here before.. my advice is to just push yourself to finish it and you will feel so relieved and you can then start a new one

[@nanam6403]

There is nothing wrong in taking a long time to finish a journal. My record is 3 and a half years for less than 200 pages. Just keep writing in the pace you like and it will be done eventually

[@kittyquinn004]

Also the Destiny Journal is so cute! That gave me goosebumps hearing about it 💚

Usually I don’t write any KZbin comments but this is just astonishing! Such a huge collection! It’s soo impressive to keep a journal for such a long time. May I ask how you store your journals? Do you just put them on your shelf or do you store them in a box? Like, they have so many different sizes.. How do you prevent them from getting damaged over time? 😅

How cool ist this! 78 notebooks ... At the moment i write in my 20th notebook - sind january 2017 (I guess). THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!! All the Notebooks are together such a big treasure ... all the memories ... the feelings ... the growing & changing ... I hope, I can use a little notebook too ... It looks so sweet and "invisible" =)
