Would you have written that if you new no one was going to find out what you wrote? If you were not going to film? Please be true to you and what you believe.

[@SaricaStudio]

In all honesty, yes. Many of my past journal entries (that I didn't record/photograph) include my thoughts on politics, social justice, and other "controversial" subject matters, but this is the first entry that I've read aloud on my youtube channel. Recently I decided to use every tool I've got to amplify the message and that means also using my platform-even if it means coming under scrutiny and inviting trolls. I am now more true to myself and my values than ever before.

[@SaricaStudio]

Maleah Lock I also wonder why the question was posed. It takes a lot of time and energy for me to produce any video on my channel... so why would I go thru all that effort for something I don’t believe in? 🤔🤨 it can’t be for popularity because journaling is already a popular subject on KZbin so I could have just done something “neutral.” It can’t be to boost my energy because dealing with trolls and political comments is absolutely soul-sucking. It’s a valid question if you’re wary of performative allyship though 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll let the viewer be the judge of that 💁🏻‍♀️

[@sassysaguaro4906]

@@SaricaStudio I am in no way doubting your sincerity, as I know you chose your content very intentionally, but rather the passage had a strange "voice" (literary sense) to it that wasn't typical to your narration style. I wondered if maybe it may have been edited/pre-scripted to be less touchy, or maybe that it was trying to be performatively supportive. I don't think you would be performative, but its a weird time. My question was really trying to ask, are you changing how you would write to yourself bc we are present? Please don't! We love the genuine you!! Cool using your platform :)

[@maleahlock]

@@sassysaguaro4906 Oh! Well I'm glad you didn't mean the first post hehe. Brilliant 😆

[@SaricaStudio]

Mikaela Ritter ahh gotcha. Yes, I had a script for this video! (I usually have a script, or an outline at the very least.) Since the subject was more serious I felt the need to clarify my thoughts by writing it out. As I do more journaling videos about justice I think I’ll be able to switch to an outline and it would be more conversational. Thanks for the honest feedback! 💖

[@miumiumanzo]

Hi Sarica, I’ve been following you for a while now in here and on Instagram. I wanna thank you for being open about your struggle with mental health and how vocal you are in using your platform and injustice. It just amazes me to know that one of my favorite journal artists just right off slap people with the truth instead of just denying that “everything is calm and fine and we can all be better by simply drawing flowers in our journals”. I suffer from several mental problems too and I’m not in medication although therapy had helped me greatly but my recent relapse took away my ability to journal so when you say that you haven’t been journaling and that’s why you focus more on painting, I felt that. Painting and drawing have been a help for me to go through relapses as opposed to journaling and your little sketchbook project is motivating me. So thank you for that too. I definitely have been enjoying the painting videos you’ve put so far. Anyway, much gratitude to all the hard work you put as an artist. Thank you.

[@MyLifeinaBullet]

Thank you for this vulnerable video! You’re always an inspiration, and not only in journaling. ❤️ Also, I *cannot* believe Jayden is 7 months old!!! How has time flown so fast??

[@alexandraberghaus8952]

Your pages are wonderful. They inspire me. Thank you so much. And stating your thoughts and feelings so openly on what really matters in the world right now and in your personal life, it takes courage. We need more of this openess. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this. You are not alone. We can make the world a better place where we can be open with each other and share what we have and need.

[@megperry5586]

Brought tears to my heart, beautiful words and art. Being vulnerable is our greatest strength.

[@merakelley-yurdin7691]

whew! what a breath of fresh air. i just found your page, and the first video i watched was your "last video of 2020" where you thanked people for staying around after changing something. i did't know what it was til i found this video soon after. i'm so glad to find a journaler who talks about systemic issues instead of pretending everything is fine or trying to "stay neutral". i don't have a channel myself, but i do journal and do social justice work and i'm just so thankful to have found you. thank you. sending love from the west coast

[@hikmatmagdy8269]

I really missed those videos,even if the topic is sensitive ,but journalling always brings good vibes 😍

[@gloriamoore1205]

This is the first time I have been on your channel and I was blown away by your honesty and integrity!! I am right there with you in exploring all these issues. You have renewed my faith that there are people out there willing to share themselves in a way that will affect other's lives. It's a brave thing to do and most don't want to do this due to the current vitriolic climate online. You have a nice writing style and expression of your thoughts. Thank you so much. I subscribed to your channel because of this video. It is so refreshing to see this type of vulnerability and I am looking forward to more "journal with me videos".

[@ImaniTolliver]

Well done! I’m holding space for your openness and vulnerability. As a poet, I know how scary this can be. But I have learned - over two decades of sharing - that my most personal stories are the ones that touch people the most. Also, the most specifically I share, the more universal the appeal, the wider the reach of my words. So keep sharing, being mindful to go at your own pace. I love your channel and your artistry - it’s wonderful to experience more of who you magnificently are. ❤️

[@christinelucas3313]

Just found your channel and ideas this morning. This is the second one I watched. Thank you, not only for your art but also your honesty and integrity. It was so refreshing to hear your thoughts. I'll definitely be tuning in again. Big change can happen, with many people standing up and taking small steps. We can make each make a difference.

[@hides0817]

I really missed watching you create these amazing spreads! I appreciate your honesty and being so open with both the good and bad that’s going on in your life! It truly is inspiring to know that there are people willing to stand and not be afraid of the trolls in the world! I’m so glad to hear you’re finding something that works for you and that you’re here! As someone who works in the mental health world, I truly appreciate the rawness and the amazing heart you show in all your videos! You are amazing!

[@juliapenman5406]

I'm proud of you. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I respect it, acknowledge it and recognize myself as well. I need to unlearn as well. I need to read, and journal and think. I send virtual hugs and high fives.

[@cozycaremoel6272]

Your spreads are always so beautiful! I love how they turn out and have honestly taken a lot of inspiration from your channel. Love your work! ❤️

[@22rawraw]

You make me want to journal more meaningfully and honestly. You are so well-spoken! Thanks for sharing...it has been a really hard 5+ months for our world.

[@bethfyfe6615]

Well done for talking about such important topics. Your journal entry was well-written and so honest, thanks for sharing. Thank you for using your platform to encourage positive steps against injustice. Really really really well done and thank you! ❤️

[@malasukhdeo8561]

We’re always told ‘it’s good to talk’ and I hope by speaking out loud, it was cathartic for you. How you feel reflects who you are and you are someone who cares. That’s a good thing

[@elisamaniscalco9675]

I truly love your journaling videos they are very inspiring as someone who journals! I wanted to express that journal reading is very beneficial in many different ways, it is an exercise practiced where I go to school as it shows the vulnerability of the person. The way that we use this is in complete silence in a circle and anyone can read any part of their reading honouring their words. I wanted to say I was very proud of you for sharing your journal and you should continue to share (not specifically to KZbin) with your loved ones as a tool to learn how to sequence and express your thoughts! Well done:)

[@doodleyournoodles675]

I really like this video. I'm glad you opened up. I have mental health issues too. I suffer from depression and anxiety and OCD. I don't have any medication because my mother doesn't believe in it. and it can get really hard sometimes. I'm so happy to see it but somebody I admire has of my issue too. I'm so glad you and your baby are doing ok. You do beautiful journaling. : )

[@RayRed13]

I missed these videos a lot. Love the aesthetic but also love the top is you talk about. One thing resonated with me: "it's OK to be vulnerable if it helps others". I'm not in a good place right now, my mind is like... all over the place and I've been having more mental breakdowns lately but I think it will help me to write it in my journal. Thank you for reminding me that writing is a way of making myself feel better, more grounded.

[@indieh9]

Thank you for reading your thoughts out loud and for trusting your watchers enough to let us hear what has been going on in your heart and mind. Beautiful spread!

[@betsymcgovern5672]

Thank you for saying what most people feel. Stay safe

[@gabiecotrip]

Thank you for sharing

[@mcpiguet4749]

I completly relate to this message and journey.This is the year that I really looked inward and outward. Thank you for articulate this so beautifully.

[@megadele65]

I know this video is 3 months old, but I wanted to tell you that I also love your journal with me videos. They are very inspiring. I would love to see you do more of those.

[@kimj1705]

Deep thinking outside the box is always awakening. I love your journaling creativity and have subscribed awhile now. Have missed it. Whatever has shaped you, thorns or the roses, makes a beautiful flower.

[@catjournals6092]

another amazing video sarica. you are so humble and diligent in making sure that you hold yourself responsible, and thank you so much for being so open and vocal about injustice.

[@mauishopgirll]

Hi, I love your videos and also products (I’ve done a order with you). You are one of the YTers that inspire me with vintage touches. However you are the only one that also inspires me as someone who loves to write and journal. Many don’t even seem to leave enough room to write. Many people also don’t want to journal because they say their life is boring. I say journal your thoughts and how you feel about what is happening in the world today. I also have generalized anxiety and I’ve struggled a bit since entering menopause. I recognize the signs as it is similar to how the every six months birth control (in the arm insertion) used to affect me. So I go to therapy and have returned to paper and creativity as part of my coping and reflection. Thank you so much for everything you do. I also read the other comment about your narration and voice. I say you are not obligated to any of us to share, it is up to you. Also as a fellow journaler your reading verbatim or from a script after you’ve done the writing ahead of time is completely fine. This is obviously not free form brain dump writing like morning pages so I would expect you to have worked out your thoughts and words ahead of time with editing. I appreciated hearing exactly what you wrote. I also used to blog and taking the time to craft my message was appreciated by my readers. That was part of what I was offering.

[@tanjamueller5538]

Beautiful video ... showing vulnerability or bearing your thoughts is not a weakness...it's a strength 💖💖😍

[@LisaGonzales1654]

Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. I agree that the time is nigh for people to make clear what they believe and what they stand for.

[@Mah-ww4pv]

Thank you so much for this. This is really an inspiration. Also, I do love that you talk about injustice and what is hapening to the world right now because we really need to educate ourselves more about these. 💙

[@maleahlock]

That was beautiful. It is very much in line with my, possibly obsessive, thoughts lately. Trying to find that balance of being mentally and physically balanced with then caring for others. It's a worthwhile struggle. Thank you for the video.

[@ehrikalord1340]

I’m thankful to have discovered your channel! Love your style and respect your courage to use your voice for change. Remember trolls have no power or they wouldn’t be trolls. Be encouraged 💚

[@abol.5071]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this style of journaling SO, SO much! 🤩 It gives me such an vintage, aesthetic vibe and I love that! 💘

[@selfcompassionate]

i greatly respect your serious attempts at integrity and self-reflection. many marginalized groups will get no justice if majority groups don't stop and listen. majority groups control the votes, the government, everything. so we must work together to educate a new generation and attempt to eradicate bigotry altogether, one issue at a time. again, much respect and best of luck with your mental health & your baby:)

[@shylajavasan]

Hi Sarica, missed you journaling videos a lot!! Thanks for giving me a motivation to kick back on my journaling!!! Much love to you and your family ❤️

Well done you! Stay true to yourself. Inner strength is the courage of the truly enlightened human. Be safe and enjoy your family.

[@SpottedJournal]

You have such beautiful journal aesthetics! Thank you for being brave, honest and showing your vulnerable side, you've scratched the surface but it's very deep...The world is a complicated place especially amongst us humans. I wonder whether animals have the same type of injustice amongst their kind too?

[@ericagallegos2261]

Beautiful. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your reflections.

[@adamscc2010]

So glad I stumbled upon this video. Working at examining ways that I contribute to the structures that perpetuate racism and finding paths to action. Thank you.

thank you for the video

[@rahuldey7607]

Thank you Sarica for inspiring me to start jounalling. I really have a great time watching your videos.

[@sheloveswilby]

I really like this. Congratulations on being honest with yourself. A lot of people struggle with that and it turns to fear. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@sheloveswilby]

Also I need to take my meds you reminded me. Thanks for shedding light. So much stigma over them and they really help a lot

I cannot smash the like button enough! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings as well as resources to further my journey❤️

[@miss.sheabug.studios]

I've been around on your channel since the very early days when you first got your travelers notebook. I've watched you grow and develop into my favorite journaling channel and a wonderful person who's not afraid to use her platform for change. I'm so glad that you've decided to use your platform for good and although some are disappointed because this video is "political" or "not your regular feel-good content" I am so glad you've addressed these issues on your KZbin (I've followed you on Instagram for a long time as well so I know you've been addressing them there as well). The world isn't nearly perfect, but by doing what you're doing, trying to enact change, we can make it better. You're a beautiful and wonderful person Sarica, and I'm so grateful I've been able to be one of your first subscribers. Never stop fighting for change! (Also you're a literal queen ok bye)

[@ms.chocolate3470]

I have notifs on but didn’t receive anything. So to come to your channel to seee all of the new videos make me so happy! Time to journal! 😂

[@anguswalsh6067]

I wish more people would click on this video, watch it till the end and absorb all the things you have said. If someone finds fault in this video, that just proves they're triggered by something they've done wrong but refused to acknowledge it. Acknowledging one's flaws is the first step to becoming a better human being. And accepting that vulnerability and sensitivity are just parts of one's compassion and humanity is going to give you a better understanding about how to be kind to people. Even though many of the topics you touched on in this video are sensitive and will of course bring on many arguments, it isn't wrong to feel the need to speak up and bring awareness to what should be done and should be seen. People have been going on for so long denying the truth and withdrawing themselves from things they consider taboos. It's now time to stop turning away and start looking right into the problems and solving it together. Thank you for sharing a part of you that you don't have to, not at all. I appreciate the fact that you were willing to let down your guard and be vulnerable to us for the sake of educating and helping others to reach a better world. This is a beautiful video as always. Lots of love💞🦔

I just discovered this channel and Oh my Goddess it’s LOVELY. 😊

[@juliaramos9535]

thank you for this beautiful video. it is very important to remember that things can be shitty in the macro level and we should all fight for it to change, but we’re also allowed to find joy and beauty in our micro level lifes as well. i have a hard time doing that, so it was nice to see you journalling about it. all the love
