    Thanks for walking down memory lane with me and looking through all my old journals! I would LOVE to know how long you have been journaling, and how you would describe your own journaling evolution? And if you haven't journaled before, are you ready to start in 2025? Perhaps with the monthly journaling club? If so, check out this playlist next! ua-cam.com/video/JGs2WqAOAhQ/v-deo.html

      Been journaling on and off since college. Did “online journaling” via my blog from 2012-2017. Then 2017-2022 via instagram (another online type of journaling). I’m so glad to be back to true journaling from 2023 to now. Making my own books, using notebooks like your type of journaling, using hobonichi. I got a lot of “currently using” journals 😊 thanks for inspiring this community!

      I remember when you started journaling. I will be at my ten year anniversary celebration next year. Oh the journey is so worth it. I have so much fun and love of decorating my journals. I’m so proud of your constant love and appreciation for your amazing work. Congratulations on your ten year milestone, I am sure then ten years adventure will be just as blessed. Love you hugs

    I like the IDEA of creating beautiful, aesthetic journals - but I am very honest in my writing and would be horrified if anyone ever read it. I often destroy my writing, in case I die unexpectedly and my family has to go through my things. It's therapeutic to get out all your anger, insecurities, sadness, jealousies, mean thoughts, doubts, little humiliations, secrets, etc. but then I don't see the point of decorating such pages, as I will eventually have to destroy it all! Maybe I should keep a separate journal for just my happy/good memories, thoughts, feelings 🙂I like the idea of decorating a journal but it would be wasted on me - when I write, I write very messy and I get out all the ugly parts of my inner life. I rarely even go back to read my writing.

      @@MollyCutie I get that. I view this more as a scrapbook that I’m okay sharing, and keep my more messy, raw writings in a separate notebook ☺️

      You can do both. I have a rant journal that I do that in. The writing is messy and erratic. It's important to have a place to get rid of all that poison clogging your system. Then when it's full I have a wonderful time destroying it! Then have other journals for memory keeping and saving quotes and book reviews etc. That way you have an outlet for your pain and grief and it doesn't get to intrude into your happy space.

      Will do the same because I already threw away half of my memory keeping stuff because I had written all my thoughts on them. Now I will write in a separate notebook.📚📖✨️🦋

    Thank you for this review, it s so great to see the evolution and all these priceless memories.I have been journaling for years and years, having amounts of journals, bullet journals, quote journals,... (it took me a while to find the perfect way to keep my memories), sadly I lost everything in a fire this summer, so i would like to share this awfull experience to let you reflect on how you could be sure to have a track or a "copy" just in case. This loss is absolutely huge, it has been as if i lost half of my brain. I dont have a good memory so my journals reminded me all the small daily pleasures, surprises, events, now it s all lost. The day after the fire, i Went to buy stationnery because i couldn t stop journaling (writing, sticking ephemeras, doodling, using colors...). The only difference between before and now, is that i scan my pages every sundays, I wish i did it before.....

      Oh I’m so very sorry for this incredible loss! I can’t even imagine. One of the reasons I like filming chatty flip throughs on my channel is so I have a record of my journals should something ever happen to them, and it will be neat to look back on my thoughts on the journals when I created them 💛

    Fascinating to see how you’ve changed And added stuff and how journaling has developed in your life.
    I have stacks of journals that document life as a young mom, and into our kids growing into adults, our fulltime travels in an RV and to today… journaling is so precious because if life is worth living, it is worth documenting - both the blessings and the challenges. 🩵🩵🩵
