I am 62 and have been journaling since 1975, when my senior English teacher in high school had us keep journals as an assignment. I kept at it after the assignment was over and have done so, on and off, ever since.
@@justceexo2145 I know you left this comment months ago, but what I find helps is writing about what you did, even if you did almost nothing. Then you'll find the thoughts flowing from your head into the pen and onto the paper. You can also write about prompt related things, such as what you're grateful for or who the most important person in your life is/was. Hope this helped
I am 12 and filled out 6 journals already. I've been journaling from when I was 10 and the passion grew more and more. I love journaling and it's nice flipping through my old journals and remind myself how I was 2 years ago and how I've changed! Btw I love your videos!
I just wanted to say, I used to journal in 4th grade and stopped because I was afraid that my parents would find out (wait for it.....) that I thought a boy was really cute. I then started writing again in 8th grade after my mom got me a diary at the scholastic book fair, which looks very much like your elementary school one but is purple. Now I'm a college rising sophomore and am finishing journal #6 (a journal a year). Thought I'd mention cause 1) sounded very similar to your journaling start, 2) I'm convinced scholastic book fairs have created a number of lifelong writers lol.
@@CarrieWalker for sure.. I begged for a diary at least once a year and got sad that this year and last year we didn’t have one because we weren’t allowed to even visit the library which was the area it was hosted in.
I havent thought about it till now, but I've always been fascinated with keeping journals/diaries since I was maybe 8. I'm 14 now and I have finally commited to a journal that I'm set on finishing. It's just so addicting. Also I really love your videos. They rlly get me hyped to start writing. Wish me luck! 💕
Good luck with your journaling!! That’s so amazing that you’ve been doing it since such a young age, and I’m so happy you’ve committed to journaling!!🥰
I am 14 and I have been journaling for only 5 years, however I am now writing in my 14th journal and I am almost finished it, I absolutely love journaling and it is going to be my life long passion
i’m fourteen and i always hated journaling. my sister (12) was OBSESSED with it since she was a kid and i felt like i couldn’t compete with her. when i went into 7th grade i had a huge crush on this one guy in my class and just before covid hit. I was 11, and i decided i wanted to start writing. I wrote a full book that lasted over two journals(the big kind with a ton of lines per page) and it was 597 pages long. I finished that in six months, then went on to re writing it all on my computer and that took my two months, i started writing on wattpad and continued that for a year, and then picked up hand writing again. now i’ve filled six journals in the span of six months and have written four complete books. i know no one’s going to read them but it’s a fun hobby and a great way to practice and improve my writing skills.
Journaling is crucial to mental wellbeing. So great to get your thoughts out of your head. Sometimes I'll do it dail, other times once a month. Never structured because I don't want it to become a chore
Dear Carrie's Mom: Thanks for getting her the journal!! I was this kid too and appreciate our mama's who supported our "thing". Carrie, thanks for sharing your story. I just found your channel and appreciate the ideas. Keep them coming. We still need it and it's March 2021!!! My first journal like yours was Hello Kitty with a lock on it too.
i got into journaling 10 months ago and i have filled 7 journals. it’s the only thing i’ve managed to keep up for more than a couple of weeks and i absolutely love it!! it has helped me so much in several ways and it’s so fascinating how i can change in a matter of months. my only issue is that i complete them so fast i’m gonna have no room for them. i don’t want to switch to writing digitally because i love writing things by hand, it’s another reason why i love journaling.
I recently went back and numbered my journals and put the from and to dates on the outside. Since they span over 30 years, I think it will come in handy for the loved ones who will inherit them someday.
Such a beautiful life habit you have developed for yourself. I wish my 18 year old would pick up this habit. I am a daily journaler as well. It is a helpful practice. Your hair looks pretty. Keep going young lady. You have a wonderful spirit.
this is such an amazing video about journaling ahhh!! i am almost 15 and i have been journaling consistently since around the beginning of the pandemic, around april 2020... i took a short break and am just starting to get into it again so i'm watching tonsss of journal vids haha but this is one of my favs! :)
OOOO she a journaling queeen with her hair braid crown and everything!!! I loved it girl! I am still amazed of all the journals you have!! =]] love love it! but on the real... show us the tea LOL
Hi! I've literally seen this video maybe more than 10 times haha, I find it very tumblr and I love it, I have been journaling since I was 7 and now I am 15 but i was never that constant, now that I found your videos I have done it daily and I can’t stop!
At least you did start! I've, personally, always loved writing, I learned to read and write when I was four and started a diary when I was five. I only wrote in it three or four times a year because I was a kid, it is a nice thing to keep for memories, but when you get older, those tenth grade memories will be JUST as great as my five year old memories
Just bought a journal because I watched some of your videos and realised that journaling can be really fun and in the future you can take a look back at your past self :)
This really helps me and gives me ideas for my journal and i feel so bad for not liking all youre videos so ima go like them all now😂 and love yah hair😊
The queen of journaling 🙌🏻!! Dang you’ve been journaling for a long time!! That’s amazing! OMG I totally forgot about those elementary book fairs 😱!!! Girl I would go and want everything but the actual books too 😂! Documentary moments in life is such a special thing. Especially when you have kids then you can share it when them! Never stop journaling girl!! 🙌🏻💗

Hello, Carrie! New friend here. Thank you for sharing your journaling journey. I wish I had some journals from back in the day! Of course, I'm talking A LONG TIME AGO - ancient history. lol I started nature journaling about 10 years ago. And I did some art journaling. But never a lot of writing. Right now I'm putting a bunch of mementoes into some memory keeper journals. Keep up your wonderful habit - you'll be glad you did! Blessings & Bubbles...oooOOO
@@CarrieWalkerHey Carrie I know you probably don't get comments like this on your videos but I think you're an inspiration because I didn't start my mobile journaling journey throughout 2021 but it began in 2022 and 2023 and so far I am still writing in 2024 plus I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and I hope you keep growing with each one so stay kindhearted and sweet.
The journal with the lock! Gosh I had those! Sadly I have never fully completed a journal yet in my life and I’m 29! This is the year I do tho. I started my own channel to keep me accountable and to keep going! And maybe I’ll pick up a few friends along the way 😁
Omg!! My first diary was a scholastic cat diary with a lock and key too😭 I was in elementary school. I don't know what had drawn me to journal, but now as a 19 year old, I still LOVE to journal ❤ The way you explain why you journal resonates with me as well. Journaling is something I know I will forever do
Okay, so I’ve watched this video more than 10 times each month and I love it!! I can never get enough of this video💖 like i’ve watched it so many times that i know what you’re going to say a lot of the time
Hello from the Philippines! I've been watching your journaling vlogs for more than a week and it really inspired me to write more of my journals, both non-personal and personal. It's been more than three years since doing non-personal journal volumes filled with news articles and readings from the net. I already have 63 volumes at this moment. After watching your vlogs I thought of writing my own personal journal because I need to heal myself because of what I've been through in my life. And it helped me a lot as if I'm talking to someone! Thanks for you journal vlogs, Ms. Carrie!! :)
I just bought my second journal and I’m excited to use it, however there is one thing I’m concerned about. It’s stone paper, and I don’t know how things are going to stick in there but I’ll figure it out. I bought the journal because it was beautiful and cheap. $6, and it’s a navy blue with golden outlined flowers on the navy blue leather. I got it from Walmart.
Awww it's 1:30 am for me when the premiere starts and I can't stay up that late today :( ......I have been waiting for this one since a long time tho!!!!
SIXETY NINTH LIKE Edit: I'm 19 and just started doing some journaling a few months ago, I just write down random stuff mainly so I can read it later or maybe even family members can also. Don't do it every day, do it whenever I feel like it, date and time my notes, but yea, thought I'd share. To be honest I could journal way more but it doesn't matter too much to me. Also just heard you talk about documenting and I fully agree haha Typing while listening lol
Haha love that you typed while listening!! I do the same thing😂 and thanks for sharing your experiences with journaling! I always love to hear about other people’s experiences with it. It’s a little different for everyone!!
I was started writing my journal when I was in fifth grade but my younger found out about it and shared it to my older brother. It was embarrassing. So I stopped it. Then I start again to do a journal in high school using my own alphabet. But it just half because I was perfectionist that time and lazy. College was the start that I do it everyday or sometimes weekly. I got inspired writing journal because of the story I read in wattpad and book. I got idea to it how to start writing my journal. I record the bad things, I observed to my classmates, happy thoughts, what I read, crushes, school, so on. I realized there are times, there are experience that feels like a drama in TV. I wrote two journals and finished it when I graduated in college. I also use a three diary apps in my phone like Lock Diary, Penzu and Mood. Now, I used Penzu. If I got a job I will use notebook again.
She Literally Inspires People To Make A Journal, I'm Almost Done With Mine AND It Feels so Sad Like Losing Someone But I LOVE Your Videos So Much I LOVE YOU CARRIE BE SAFE & I WISH YOU SUCCESS IN YOUR NEW FUTURE JOURNAL'S BYE 🥰
I somehow started journaling in 1st grade cuz my father gave me a really cool notebook with his name on it (my last name) so basically I started 2016 till 2019 then I stopped idk why then 2020 - 2022 I always write every 2,3,4 months which is kinda sad but after I saw ur videos I'm gonna try to write more often. TYSM !!!
Hi Carrie, i just wanted to tell you that when I was taking an A and P class in college the professor who was just farmer but taught part time said I know the skull is difficult to memorize and I don’t expect you to do so but because of just that reason alone I’ll allow 1 index card front and back to be filled with notes to help you on your test. Somehow my crazy brain thought excellent so I got the smallest font I could read on my computer and typed everything out. I realized come test time that all my figuring out what to put on that card helped me remember a lot of the answers. In fact it’s probably the reason I know more about Anatomy than anything else! Best of luck to you in college. Soak up those good times because they’re so much fun!
This is actually so true! A lot of the times I would barely even reference my index cards on tests because I had already memorized the material when studying!!
When I was little, I cut out ALL the pages in all my past journals, and I regret it SO badly. But I recently began Journaling after seeing your videos, so I started 2 days ago to daily journal🥰
I started back in 2021, when I was 9 bc that’s when times started to get a little ruff for me, and now I’m addicted to writing. I now need more notebooks to write in bc 3-4 ain’t going to do it for me. I already finished one book.
You just think of it.. I just started journaling because of you I thought to do it when I was 6th but got scared that anyone could see but Everyone should definitely try it.. . . . Thankyou..
I just got my first official journal and it’s the exact same as you had, the blue Costco:) So durable and much better than my old one that was falling apart.
New to journaling and still experimenting what I like and don't like in my journals. Thanks for all of these ideas to make my journaling better. Keep up the hustle!
I unfortantly threw out three of my oldest diaries i had when i was a child. I regret it so much, it would be so cool to see what younger me in 5th grade was thinking. I threw them out because i was afraid someone would read them. And now i have my diary/journal out in the open. Like i really don't care if people read them.
I love that you did this for so long! I've been trying this now consistently for 2-ish months and a little bit on and off before that. My question is how do you stay motivated to keep going? That's mainly what I struggle with, motivation. Love the video
When I REALLY set my mind to something, I’m going to give it my all. My original goal was to journal every day for a whole year, and the writing aspect of it is what held me accountable. The “rules” I’ve set for myself also help too (like the fact that I have to start writing before midnight and I have to write at least a page a day). But motivation only does so much! There are many days where I don’t feel motivated at all and don’t really want to write that much! It’s the DISCIPLINE that’s important- that will get you so far!🙌🏻❤️ hope this helps :)
I started writing when I was 10...at those times I just childishly wrote, not really caring much. But I stopped after 2 years and then last year I found the book I wrote and it was soo fun to read. Felt like a novel, which made me wanna start again but this time I will try to put in more effort :)
I have journaled off and on for years. I am now interested in journaling in a more creative/artistic way. I've looked at a ton of videos but it seems like most of the videos show people decorating their journals before they begin to write. What I'm looking for is help being creative and ways to embellish/illustrate what I'm writing about. I'm writing about thoughts and feelings, not daily activities. Grateful for any help provided.
I love your videos and they are so fun and inspiring, (I have been binging them because of quarantine). You deserve many more subscribers, remember me when you get big! 💞💖✨
Hey Carrie, I absolutely love your videos! I am especially a big fan of your journaling ones (I have been binge watching them)! I watch you journal videos becuase you inspire me so much! You are so underrated! I would love it if you made a video of the prompts you wrote in the jar. Sometimes i dont know what to write, so if you make a video like that it would really inspire me! I love to watch your videos and i hope you never stop and also get the recognition you deserve :)
I just started journaling and i really enjoy it....thank you for inspiring me to write down the memories......😘😘i really love your collection of journals
I feel this so much. Journaling is also “etched into my soul.” So I found myself wondering if you/anyone have the experience of living certain memorable moments in life and ~ in the very midst of it ~ seeing with your mind’s eye your handwriting capturing it in some wisp of prose. Does that happen to you? Curious to know... Blessings to all you beautiful, reflective souls out there. 🌬 🌊 ✍🏽 Write on.✨
I'm 28 and I started journaling when I was 13 because I was diagnosed with Major Depression and my counselor had me keep a journal. She wouldn't read my entries, she would just flip through to make sure I was writing or doing something. I did that until I was 16 (i had ALOT of journals) but then my bf at the time convinced me to burn all of them because it would be the start of our future..smh I regret doing that. I stopped journaling after that and didnt pick it back up until recently. I've been diagnosed with Post Partum Depression after my 5th child and Ive missed journaling so much! Thank you for this video!
I am so incredibly sorry to hear that... I'm thankful that you were able to use journaling as an outlet during your teenage years, but I'm so sorry that you no longer have your journals! You are so incredibly strong and beautiful, and I hope that journaling is able to help you once again during these times. Sending SO much love your way!!❤️
I've journaled from age 13 to my now age 27. I love it but after so long of writing. I got arthritis and cant hold my pen right. I suggest you to get vitamin c and fish oil. It'll help your joints in the long run. My doctor told me I should have been taking these vitamins as a teen. It would have been really helpful in the long run.
I started righting in diary’s in 1st grade and I’m in 5th grade and I read my old diary and I almost cried bc of all the good memories hat I forgot about and all my saddest moments and I went to the store today and got another diary and some takis and I’m calmly righting my stuff down to make more memories
please post more journaling videos! ideas: journaling shopping reading my journal part 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 giving my journal to my bestie and telling her to do ANYTHING with it. (you can choose not to do this because ik how much your journals mean to you) thats it! i hope this helped! ilysm carrie! your my idol in life! ily
I love your videos! I almost have seen 65 videos of yours by now... And I love the way you meantan your Journals but most... I liked you hair ♥️... You're very beautiful ❤️
to be honest i think you should make a video about the prompt jar! what prompts did you write down/where did you get your prompts from? :D btw journalling helps since i have osdd1b and it's an easy way for me to remember things as well as communicate with alters :] your vids helped so much, thank you! i love your channel!
I love your video! I journal as well but you gave me an idea about how to keep journal prompts in a jar! Did you take some off of Pinterest? I journal each day as well and I am halfway through my journal. They are so fun to look back at!
I did actually! I just searched up journaling prompts on Pinterest and wrote down the ones I found interesting!! I agree that looking back at journal entries are so fun!!
I am 62 and have been journaling since 1975, when my senior English teacher in high school had us keep journals as an assignment. I kept at it after the assignment was over and have done so, on and off, ever since.
Wow!! That’s so incredible :) I hope to do the same! Sending love and well wishes❤️
@divine me too
We are 50 years apart 😂
I started journaling because of an assignment too! I started in 2004 when I was seven & never looked back. Thankful for those kinds of assignments 🥺
Really
Let's all appreciate Carrie's mom for letting her get the little diary! Without her NONE of us would be watching her right now!
Love you Carrie!!
And without her I probably would'nt have started journaling.
who knows maybe she would have got a diff diary

I really love all of ur journals, and im really motivate rn to start writting on my journal notebook. glad that I discover this video, Thanks ❤
Yessss go for it Michelle!! :)
Hello from the Philippines! I've been watching your journaling vlogs for more than a week and it really inspired me to write more of my journals, both non-personal and personal. It's been more than three years since doing non-personal journal volumes filled with news articles and readings from the net. I already have 63 volumes at this moment. After watching your vlogs I thought of writing my own personal journal because I need to heal myself because of what I've been through in my life. And it helped me a lot as if I'm talking to someone!
Thanks for you journal vlogs, Ms. Carrie!! :)
You make me wanna journal every day like you (and I also love writing!)
YAY!!
You are so inspiring to me. And you are actually the reason why I started journaling ☺️
🥺💓Aw that makes me so happy
I just bought my second journal and I’m excited to use it, however there is one thing I’m concerned about. It’s stone paper, and I don’t know how things are going to stick in there but I’ll figure it out. I bought the journal because it was beautiful and cheap. $6, and it’s a navy blue with golden outlined flowers on the navy blue leather. I got it from Walmart.
Wow that sounds like such a wonderful journal! And i don’t think I’ve ever used stone paper before
I'm so happy you loved the journal :) love this video + you so much!!
Aww ily!!💖
i watched this video years ago and i’m coming back to rewatch it LOVE UR VIDS u seem like such a sweet person keep being you

I love journaling. Been doing it daily for 3 years now 😍
That’s awesome!!👏🏻
Does anyone else get so excited when they start a new journal? Like unlimited possibilities ☺️
SIXETY NINTH LIKE
Edit: I'm 19 and just started doing some journaling a few months ago, I just write down random stuff mainly so I can read it later or maybe even family members can also.
Don't do it every day, do it whenever I feel like it, date and time my notes, but yea, thought I'd share.
To be honest I could journal way more but it doesn't matter too much to me.
Also just heard you talk about documenting and I fully agree haha
Typing while listening lol
Haha love that you typed while listening!! I do the same thing😂 and thanks for sharing your experiences with journaling! I always love to hear about other people’s experiences with it. It’s a little different for everyone!!
TimCJ thank u for sharing this bc i also want to start but not being consistent
I was started writing my journal when I was in fifth grade but my younger found out about it and shared it to my older brother. It was embarrassing. So I stopped it. Then I start again to do a journal in high school using my own alphabet. But it just half because I was perfectionist that time and lazy. College was the start that I do it everyday or sometimes weekly. I got inspired writing journal because of the story I read in wattpad and book. I got idea to it how to start writing my journal. I record the bad things, I observed to my classmates, happy thoughts, what I read, crushes, school, so on. I realized there are times, there are experience that feels like a drama in TV. I wrote two journals and finished it when I graduated in college. I also use a three diary apps in my phone like Lock Diary, Penzu and Mood. Now, I used Penzu. If I got a job I will use notebook again.
Oh wow, I love this!! Thank you for sharing :)
I absolutely understand u, I have a story like u about journaling♡ It's the best gift I found in my entire life
Yesss!!💖
Omg thank you!!! This is such a fun video and I loved hearing your story 💗💗💗💗💗
Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed it🥰💗
She Literally Inspires People To Make A Journal, I'm Almost Done With Mine AND It Feels so Sad Like Losing Someone But I LOVE Your Videos So Much I LOVE YOU CARRIE BE SAFE & I WISH YOU SUCCESS IN YOUR NEW FUTURE JOURNAL'S BYE 🥰
I somehow started journaling in 1st grade cuz my father gave me a really cool notebook with his name on it (my last name) so basically I started 2016 till 2019 then I stopped idk why then 2020 - 2022 I always write every 2,3,4 months which is kinda sad but after I saw ur videos I'm gonna try to write more often. TYSM !!!
Hi Carrie, i just wanted to tell you that when I was taking an A and P class in college the professor who was just farmer but taught part time said I know the skull is difficult to memorize and I don’t expect you to do so but because of just that reason alone I’ll allow 1 index card front and back to be filled with notes to help you on your test. Somehow my crazy brain thought excellent so I got the smallest font I could read on my computer and typed everything out. I realized come test time that all my figuring out what to put on that card helped me remember a lot of the answers. In fact it’s probably the reason I know more about Anatomy than anything else! Best of luck to you in college. Soak up those good times because they’re so much fun!
This is actually so true! A lot of the times I would barely even reference my index cards on tests because I had already memorized the material when studying!!
Okay but your hair is literal GOALSSSS!!!! It looks amazing
OMG THANK YOUU😝💖
Ur my new fav youtuber cause u always inspired me
🥰🥺❤️
When I was little, I cut out ALL the pages in all my past journals, and I regret it SO badly. But I recently began Journaling after seeing your videos, so I started 2 days ago to daily journal🥰
I’m ten and I started when I was 7 and I love it every time we go shopping I have to get a notebook…😊
I started back in 2021, when I was 9 bc that’s when times started to get a little ruff for me, and now I’m addicted to writing. I now need more notebooks to write in bc 3-4 ain’t going to do it for me. I already finished one book.
You just think of it..
I just started journaling because of you
I thought to do it when I was 6th but got scared that anyone could see but Everyone should definitely try it..
.

Thankyou..
I just got my first official journal and it’s the exact same as you had, the blue Costco:) So durable and much better than my old one that was falling apart.
Costco journals are superior ngl
I love this!! Carrie you’re the best! 😘❤️
Love you so much!!❤️
New to journaling and still experimenting what I like and don't like in my journals. Thanks for all of these ideas to make my journaling better. Keep up the hustle!
That’s awesome that you’ve started journaling!! Thanks so much for sharing🥰
Wanted to drop a quick comment to help out with the algorithm! Really enjoyed this one Carrie! You have a solid collection on journals!
Thanks Anthony!! You’re the best💞💞
I've been journaling for 3 years now. Changed my life for the better.
I unfortantly threw out three of my oldest diaries i had when i was a child. I regret it so much, it would be so cool to see what younger me in 5th grade was thinking. I threw them out because i was afraid someone would read them. And now i have my diary/journal out in the open. Like i really don't care if people read them.
Aw that’s so sad! I’m glad you still journal though
I love that you did this for so long! I've been trying this now consistently for 2-ish months and a little bit on and off before that. My question is how do you stay motivated to keep going? That's mainly what I struggle with, motivation. Love the video
When I REALLY set my mind to something, I’m going to give it my all. My original goal was to journal every day for a whole year, and the writing aspect of it is what held me accountable. The “rules” I’ve set for myself also help too (like the fact that I have to start writing before midnight and I have to write at least a page a day). But motivation only does so much! There are many days where I don’t feel motivated at all and don’t really want to write that much! It’s the DISCIPLINE that’s important- that will get you so far!🙌🏻❤️ hope this helps :)
I started writing when I was 10...at those times I just childishly wrote, not really caring much. But I stopped after 2 years and then last year I found the book I wrote and it was soo fun to read. Felt like a novel, which made me wanna start again but this time I will try to put in more effort :)
That makes me so happy!! :)
@@CarrieWalker u replying made me even happier
oml the drawings/mandala in ur journal rn is so pretty!
Aw thank you!!
@@CarrieWalker nppp! wish i could do that haha
I have journaled off and on for years. I am now interested in journaling in a more creative/artistic way. I've looked at a ton of videos but it seems like most of the videos show people decorating their journals before they begin to write. What I'm looking for is help being creative and ways to embellish/illustrate what I'm writing about. I'm writing about thoughts and feelings, not daily activities. Grateful for any help provided.
Ooh that could be a fun video to film!! Thank you for the ideas💗
I love your videos and they are so fun and inspiring, (I have been binging them because of quarantine). You deserve many more subscribers, remember me when you get big! 💞💖✨
Aw thank you so much, this is so sweet!!🥰
Hey Carrie, I absolutely love your videos! I am especially a big fan of your journaling ones (I have been binge watching them)! I watch you journal videos becuase you inspire me so much! You are so underrated! I would love it if you made a video of the prompts you wrote in the jar. Sometimes i dont know what to write, so if you make a video like that it would really inspire me!
I love to watch your videos and i hope you never stop and also get the recognition you deserve :)
Thank you so much Phoebe, you are the sweetest!! That’s a great idea! :)🥰💖
I just started journaling and i really enjoy it....thank you for inspiring me to write down the memories......😘😘i really love your collection of journals
Your hair is so adorable and beautiful in this video! I love your journaling videos 🤍
Aw thank you!! New one hopefully coming up tomorrow :)
12:04 this journal looks soo pretty. Mainly because of rainbow edges that u did 👀❤️
Aw thanks! I think it’s super fun🌈✨
So relaxing😍
❤️❤️❤️
I love this!! I enjoyed this a lot!!
I feel this so much. Journaling is also “etched into my soul.” So I found myself wondering if you/anyone have the experience of living certain memorable moments in life and ~ in the very midst of it ~ seeing with your mind’s eye your handwriting capturing it in some wisp of prose. Does that happen to you? Curious to know...
Blessings to all you beautiful, reflective souls out there. 🌬 🌊 ✍🏽 Write on.✨
I'm 28 and I started journaling when I was 13 because I was diagnosed with Major Depression and my counselor had me keep a journal. She wouldn't read my entries, she would just flip through to make sure I was writing or doing something. I did that until I was 16 (i had ALOT of journals) but then my bf at the time convinced me to burn all of them because it would be the start of our future..smh I regret doing that. I stopped journaling after that and didnt pick it back up until recently. I've been diagnosed with Post Partum Depression after my 5th child and Ive missed journaling so much! Thank you for this video!
I am so incredibly sorry to hear that... I'm thankful that you were able to use journaling as an outlet during your teenage years, but I'm so sorry that you no longer have your journals! You are so incredibly strong and beautiful, and I hope that journaling is able to help you once again during these times. Sending SO much love your way!!❤️
I've journaled from age 13 to my now age 27. I love it but after so long of writing. I got arthritis and cant hold my pen right. I suggest you to get vitamin c and fish oil. It'll help your joints in the long run. My doctor told me I should have been taking these vitamins as a teen. It would have been really helpful in the long run.
Thank you SO much!!!! This is such a wonderful piece of advice
thank you so much im starting journaling on my google docs just started today and im really happy bout it thank u so much
Watching before school❤️
❤️❤️
I started righting in diary’s in 1st grade and I’m in 5th grade and I read my old diary and I almost cried bc of all the good memories hat I forgot about and all my saddest moments and I went to the store today and got another diary and some takis and I’m calmly righting my stuff down to make more memories
The rainbow one is my favorite! 🌈
You look so so so so cute in this hair style and your journal stack is growing now so we should celebrate haha I love u infinity ❤

to be honest i think you should make a video about the prompt jar! what prompts did you write down/where did you get your prompts from? :D
btw journalling helps since i have osdd1b and it's an easy way for me to remember things as well as communicate with alters :] your vids helped so much, thank you! i love your channel!
OMG YOUR BACKROUND IS SO AESTHETIC. . .
THANKS!!
Carrie walker I really like and enjoy your journal videos 😊
Yay I’m so glad!🥰
I love your video! I journal as well but you gave me an idea about how to keep journal prompts in a jar! Did you take some off of Pinterest? I journal each day as well and I am halfway through my journal. They are so fun to look back at!
I did actually! I just searched up journaling prompts on Pinterest and wrote down the ones I found interesting!! I agree that looking back at journal entries are so fun!!
