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.
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.
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 UA-cam 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 💁🏻♀️
@@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 :)
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! 💖
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.
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??
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".
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤️
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:)
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
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! ❤️
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!
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!
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.
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 UA-cam) with your loved ones as a tool to learn how to sequence and express your thoughts! Well done:)
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.
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. : )
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 💚
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?
I’m so glad you understand these things. When I was young, my mom struggled to support my family because of my Fathers mental illness. I learned that recently but I’m glad to see someone as a person online showing what it is important to stand for!
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 UA-cam (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)
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💞🦔
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
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.
Thank you for the wonderful layout in your journal and sharing your thoughts. I admire that you shared this and wish you the very best in your journey!
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. 💙
Truly brave of you to create and publish this very important post. Thank you for using your voice and your platform as an ally of oppressed peoples, and towards the pursuit of justice and equity.
What a wonderful video and thank you for sharing your thoughts so honestly. I just found your channel through Pinterest. I pinned one of your photos and following the link to your website. Looking forward to continuing to hear about your inner journey.
Bravo! Every single part of this video was excellent, including production values. When you say "vintage" what period are you talking about? Please continue with this style.
Beautiful video. Your message touched me. I been feeling the same way on what's been going on. I'm happy I clicked on your video. I'm a new subscriber 💜. Best wishes to you in your family.
A. Awww. I did it again, I hit the like button before watching anything, cause you are a wonderful true artist Sarica and I know that I will enjoy your content.
I love your handwriting! Mine use to be nice & neat and clear, but I dont know, how it got so messy now lol Maybe its from being in school and having to write super fast before the teacher would erases everything lol. I really wish my writing was nice again. Anyways I love your spread and your honesty is refreshing. I really enjoy watching your videos. 😁👍
I love love love that you spoke about injustice. Fighting for what’s right drives everything I do, including my journaling. I’m so glad you shared and are using your platform for justice and liberation. Thank you. ❤️ -Erin (@journal.as.altar formerly @stationerystandard) xo
Wow! I love your aesthetic! My daughter and I bujo together weekly and your videos are such an inspiration. We usually watch while we create. You and I disagree on things you wrote about in this video. That doesn't mean I can't respect you, though. But I have to ask: Am I allowed to stand for something with which you disagree? It sounds like you are well-meaning, but some of the assertions you endorse ultimately lead to the undermining of someone's well being. Thank you for the vulnerability and the beautiful artwork. And blessings on your sweet family!
Hi Brett, thank you for your kind words and well wishes! Of course, I don't ever expect universal agreement, especially on complicated topics that affect many people. I'm honestly not sure which part would lead to the undermining of someone's well being, but its apparent that we are both concerned with human rights as a whole. I appreciate the respectful discourse! It warms my heart imagining you and your daughter spending time together with my videos 🥰
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?

Thank you Sarica for inspiring me to start jounalling. I really have a great time watching your videos.
Beautiful video ... showing vulnerability or bearing your thoughts is not a weakness...it's a strength 💖💖😍
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.

You do beautiful journaling. : )
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.
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
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.
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.

Beautiful. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your reflections.
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 ❤️
im a fan, suffering from depression for almost 4years now 🌱
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your self-reflection and sharing your journey and struggles. Much, much love to you!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this style of journaling SO, SO much! 🤩 It gives me such an vintage, aesthetic vibe and I love that! 💘

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! 😂
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
Julia Ramos agreed I think it’s hard for empaths to find that balance. When joyful moments come along, revel in them ❤️❤️❤️
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.
I really missed your journaling videos to the extent that i am watching your old videos again. Welcome back
Been checking all your videos and it inspires me to do more on journaling! 😍
Lovely journal - just started following you and an inspired by your comments. It’s important to stand up for your beliefs. Love the pen btw!
I love this. I felt that sincerity of your journaling!!!
Thank you for sharing

Wow! I love your aesthetic! My daughter and I bujo together weekly and your videos are such an inspiration. We usually watch while we create. You and I disagree on things you wrote about in this video. That doesn't mean I can't respect you, though. But I have to ask: Am I allowed to stand for something with which you disagree? It sounds like you are well-meaning, but some of the assertions you endorse ultimately lead to the undermining of someone's well being. Thank you for the vulnerability and the beautiful artwork. And blessings on your sweet family!
Hi Brett, thank you for your kind words and well wishes! Of course, I don't ever expect universal agreement, especially on complicated topics that affect many people. I'm honestly not sure which part would lead to the undermining of someone's well being, but its apparent that we are both concerned with human rights as a whole. I appreciate the respectful discourse! It warms my heart imagining you and your daughter spending time together with my videos 🥰
3:!0 I like vintage aesthetic, and I have found racist things on washi tapes and stickers. So, I'm looking forward to what you have to say.
