omfg this is so amazing i didnt realise there was a big journaling community on youtube i have been doing this my whole life 😍 think i just found my people

[@mslisasofia]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you, because about a year ago I watched this video and because of you and your journals I started journaling back then. Now I could not imagine my life without it. It helped me to get through a really tough time. Writing about my thoughts and feelings gives me freedom, strenght and confidence. So thank you. You are amazing 💛

[@beapadillacali7781]

I've never watched such a good journaling video. People just show how cute their journals r and I want to thank u for sharing what u actually feel about journaling. So inspiring

[@SerenaRosetail]

I have bad anxiety myself so I can relate to what you are saying. I used to confide in my Uncle all the time, but he passed in early 2012. So in October 2012, I decided to keep a journal and have never looked back. I am about to start journal 58 and I fill them with anything and everything that I can think of. Love your video and keep up the progress!

[@Javijavijavi]

you're so beautiful! the first video I've seen of you and you're adorable! 💙

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

Aw thank you so much

[@mvs1122]

journaling is the best thing

[@hemylala449]

I really like what you said about how helpful it is to write down your feelings when suffering from depression or anxiety but my issue is that I have this constant fear that someone will read my journal and I'd feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable with people doing that

[@mokshapatil4785]

Well I don't really fear of writing down my feelings on my journal, but sometimes I have to write down something really confidential in my journal... so I came up with a solution that is to develop my own code language... which is just known to me... so you can try making your own code language and writing your whole journal in that code language... so even if anyone reads it, that person wont be able make any sense of what you have written.:)

[@TasneemChoudhury362]

I know this is a late reply, but I just saw your comment. There's actually a great website that you can use to journal, which is 750words.com/. I haven't used it personally but I've seen it mentioned in many journaling videos, and might help with your current situation. I hope this helps, and good luck :)

[@samhazell6112]

I love journaling but I do think constantly that someone is going to read all my personal things

[@chvp4605]

I totally relate with feeling like I have to make it perfect and being bad at being artistic etc except from writing and trying to get over the idea of it,so seeing you having gotten over it inspires me.Also you've inspired me to start journaling!I could never be consistent enough to write a diary so I just have a memory jar and write small notes which is very therapeutic and makes me really happy but it's still just small pretty quick notes in which you can't write much so I'd like to journal and write more but I'm afraid it might take too much time and I won't be able to be very consistent.The good thing is in summer I'll surely have more free time and will be more in the mood to do stuff like that but still if anyone has any tips it would be quite helpful!💕Anyways,great video as always!💗

[@moc7810]

I liked the way you express about journaling! Yes, journaling is very therapeutic just the fact of putting all the thoughts and feelings to paper makes you feel more free and relieved. Great video and cute journals!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

+MelyyRose thank you so much!!!

[@emmalovsu]

I just found your channel and immediately clicked the subscription box! I have also journaled off and on starting from middle school and now through college. I haven't done it in awhile, but I have been meaning to get back into it, because like you said it is very therapeutic. After watching this video I am totally going to pick up journaling again.

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

+Emmber Garcia this makes me so happy!! thank you! I sometimes take really long breaks in journaling but i just picked it up again today and it's always sooo nice

[@abbyalsop8689]

I have been journaling since my 13th birthday. Now I am almost 15 and I have gone through almost 3 full journals. before I thought I had to do it a certain way and I had it all planed out but lately I have just torn my 3rd journal apart with pictures words prayers quotes and random things. now that I have let my mind fly freely it had really helped me the way it is supposed to. I got not love it more!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

This is amazing!! I love your dedication. Keep doing your thing :)

[@abbyalsop8689]

+Books And Whimsicals thanks so much! I'm glad you love what your doing too!

[@nerdgirlreview1910]

Another lifetime journal! Yeah I've been journaling since about 3rd grade but it became very serious in high school, as a way for me to destress and let out all my thoughts and feelings.

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

Yes, that's my favorite part of journaling :)

[@TheLibraryOfSarah]

I love this video! Just the way you talk about why you love journaling- I can relate so much! It's so wonderful to see more and more people making journal videos ^_^ I need to make another journal update video soon as I keep writing more!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

Aw thank you so much!!

[@DorkaKardos]

Haha I'm just as much of a hoarder as you are, keeping all the tickets and other bits and pieces, and since I have started journaling, sticking them and pictures in my journal has just given me such happiness :) Loved the video, this was the first of yours that I've seen but definitely gonna go check out your channel now:) xx

[@RunwrightReads]

I have that smash book too. I've had it for a couple years and never used it because it's just so pretty in its pure form. I have multiple journals too. Love this video!

[@GrowWithEndeshia]

I love this...love all of your journals especially your art journal.

[@Mrsflubbernugget22]

I have the third journal you showed!! I use it for poetry and absolutely love it

[@miairizarry305]

I love them all! Great inspiration!!

[@offline._archive]

I started to write journal each day on hobonichi and it helps my depression so much. It also teaches me that perfection doesn't exist !!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

This is awesome!!

[@chlofene]

I am like you, I have different journals for areas in my life and it does help with to write those things down.

[@artconquersall]

I loved this video so much. I love all of your journals. INSPIRING!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

+artconquersall thank you so much!! this means a lot to me :)

[@TheCamillion]

Aah! Every time I see journal videos, I always get the pressing urge to do one too!! I've tried a few times, but then I'll skip a few days, feel guilty, skip a week or two, feel guilty, and stop. I do have a journal for to-do and shopping lists, one for videos, and one for anxiety/depression reflections (which hasn't been needed much this semester, but as I'm sure you know, that could change any day!). However, I would really like to do a more inspirational art/quote/memories journal, since all of my current ones serve organizational and coping purposes. I would love to see a video of your art journal to give me that extra push XD

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

I used to feel super guilty too, but then I realized that it's MY journal and it's okay if I skip a day or forget to write for a couple days, because it's a hobby not a job! You should definitely try it :))

[@kristens333]

I know this is an old video but I still like to comment anyway. I also have anxiety and journaling is the only way I stay sane!

[@brittanychipette10]

I have a spiral journal too that I got from Barnes and Noble and on the cover it reads Love, Hope, Dream ^_^ It's coming along nicely! Journaling is fun! Keep it up! Oh btw you are really pretty and I sooo want your moon necklace! :D

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

+brittanychipette10 thank you!!

[@AmyEllaRamgopal]

I love this video! I've always been into journalling myself and this video inspired and motivated me even more! You're so gorgeous btw :)

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

+Amy Ramgopal aw thank you so much!! I'm so glad this video inspired you!!

[@hyehye4832]

i really enjoyed this :)

[@alibaileylovesyou]

Just found your channel! Great video! Subscribed!

[@heiyeasoul]

You're so inspiring 💓

[@gavinthecollector2419]

Journals are important. It's basically you on paper. Immortalize it.

[@4everachild]

Just saw your video on Journalling thank you. I have 3 or 4 that I have that I have not finished writing in yet. There are 2 that have stories started in them. One I think I am going to use as a writing journal because the story that was started in it is not working so I can turn the tide and use it as my writing journal for this upcoming year. I wanted one where I could write notes and Ideas I have been having and have had no place to sore them, I do now then when the story unfolds more that is currently in there I can find another place to put it. I do want to complete the others that still have pages empty- just because as a writer they need to be written in, lol . keep up the good work with your writing.

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

awesome ideas!!

[@Super29Girls]

I just discovered you for the first time. I still haven't watched the full video but oh my god.. you have absolutely amazing cheekbones! you're also very pretty and your eyes are so shiny and full of life. they twinkle.

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

aw thank you so much haha!!

[@booty.picasso]

I have the exact same "There is nothing like a dream to create the future" journal! I used it as a personal journal though. for me, I like the just writing type thing, but sometimes I want to add doodles and stuff, but I feel like its too, idk, too messy maybe?

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

I kinda started out that way too, which is why I have so many different journals so that it's still kinda organized! Like the art one, I had to convince myself that it's okay for it to be messy and ugly, because it's for inspiration not to show off!

[@WhaleTank]

Journal supplies please!!

[@royaevereadsbooks]

This is a wonderful video! I have a notebook that I put in quotes and inspirational type of stuff and a lot of different notebooks for planning/lists/etc. Otherwise I've only been a journaler sporadically, I think what generally puts me off is not really liking my own voice as a writer if that makes sense? But maybe it's a case, the same as you with your art journal, of needing to get over the idea of it being perfect and reminding myself that no one else will see it. You've totally inspired me to try journaling and art journaling and smash booking hahaha. Thank you :D xx

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

I totally understand what you mean about not liking your own voice! I feel like most writers have a hard time liking their own work, and it's just a matter of letting go! Omg I'm so glad I inspired you :)

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

[@PositiveWriterr]

OH MY FUDGING GOSH YOU JOURNAL TOO?! I've been Journaling since the 6th grade and I almost have 1000 entries and 9 notebooks XD YOU are a very interesting booktuber that I am having a lot of fun watching!

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

Haha thank you so much!! You have way more than I have that's so awesome!

[@PositiveWriterr]

+Books And Whimsicals Thanks!! It's because I write everyday at school and like.. 2-3 times in a day, and times that by.. About 3 years and that is a lot of entries lol. But you keep up the good work! If I can do it, so can you!

[@anonymousl1660]

[@christinecampbell2811]

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

Thanks! I actually haven't finished that book yet haha I wasn't enjoying it too much compared to To All The Boys I've Loved Before

[@iluvmovie5021]

Can you make what do you eat daily?

[@Momandwife04]

i think what stops me from journaling is holding myself back from writing down certain things. how do i get rid of this fear so i can journal again?

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]

I just remind myself that it's just words on paper; it's just ink and paper and no one will see it except me and whomever I want to see it. It's really about exposing yourself through your writing but realizing that through this you're really healing yourself. It's so so hard and I still avoid writing down the hard stuff sometimes, but the hard stuff makes for the best art. I hope that helped a little :)

[@abigarciameza9550]

wow awesome also you look super young

[@BooksAndWhimsicals]
