      A Jenna Borns-style review of the Voynich manuscript would be good.

    this is so comforting how universal the experience of being a 13 year old girl is. Period cramps, creepy men in the hills, the excitement to see everyone wearing pants to school...

      I have a diary. Lately, I have been busy. The last entry was about me being sick. Probably should play catch up and dump all the things I have been up, and write in the diary tonight.

    I remember that I found you from reading a stranger's diary on Buzzfeed. That video inspired me to write in journals through dark periods in my life. In case someone bought them in the future 😂.
    I still write, but this time about the good and bad. Your videos about this topic are still cool ❤❤

    Hi Joanna, I don’t know if you’ll see this comment. I found an old woman’s journal in the trash and I would love to write a book about it. I’m trying to get a hold of her family to get permission, do you know a bit about what copyright laws would get into play in this situation? The woman keeps writing that she hopes someone will read those pages and feel for her and I really do. I feel for her so much. Her story is very sad, but so beautiful.

      Here's an article that interviews people who collect diaries (including me) if you're looking for some additional insight: www.theguardian.com/books/2020/oct/18/secret-world-of-diary-hunters-buying-and-selling
      (personally, the number of diaries I have corresponds to the number of diary videos I've published on this channel.)
