This is the the most honest, raw and real journal flip through i've ever seen. i always want to journal but then i saw so many videos with fancy doodles and pretty handwriting, i feel intimidated and discouraged. thank you for this.
I get what you mean.I felt the same way ! But then I started jounalling. I don't have super pretty handwriting and I keep it pretty simple.The main point of journalling is to just process your thoughts.Your journal need not look a certain way. I hope u give it a try !
Finishing a notebook or journal is such an accomplishment. It's the book of your life, your story. I've forgotten for a moment what that felt like now that I've gone the planner route. In some ways planners are similar, since you can also document your life in it each day. Journals are more for writing freely. That's probably why I own so much of them, yet leave them unfinished. I have so many of them, it's enough for me to start a series called "unfinished journal series," where I can try to finish these journals with whatever thoughts I'd like to fill them with. Your ideas in ways of filling in notebooks are inspiring me to continue to pick up on this series. I am definitely hoping to start on this again soon! Thank you!
Are you from Philippines?
"Why not? This is me, this is the evolution of me documented on pages day by day. I think there's a beauty in that that I really appreciate."
I dunno why, but I'm relieved yours didn't have those kinds of journals where everything is so perfect, so consistent, and so decorated. I mean, it feels relatable to me. And that's refreshing ♥♥♥
every time I go back home I read my journals from my teenage years and sometimes I just want to cry over how aspirational and hopeful I was as a teenager!! its so nice to be able to look back and see your innermost thoughts at a time in your life which has otherwise disappeared.
Journals are an amazing tool to document our life! So wonderful to have it recorded this way. Your children will cherish these!
I began journaling the beginning of 2016. Prior to that I thought writing in a journal/diary was corny and was convinced I would never keep one. But it really has been a life changing habit because you get to clear your head and allow for new & brighter insight to come in. Lovely video, Aileen.
yes! I've learned so much about myself because of journaling. it's impacted my life so much.
Gurl, how many relationships u been in 😂
i think i know now why i like your channel so much: you are brilliant when it comes to expressing yourself to others. It's clear, simple, inspiring, and relatable. You just find the right words for what we are going through. Thank your for your authenticity, the greate backgroundmusic ;), and sharing ! Lots of love from Germany
oh thank you for such a compliment!
I get a pretentious vibe from it. But I guess everyone thinks something differently about different things and that’s sort of the whole point of creative media.
Whenever I watch videos where people flip through their journals, I always stop the video at one point so I can read the whole page of someone's thoughts
I'm so glad to see that people have kept all their journals and have been journaling since forever bc i started in the 2nd grade and have like notebooks upon notebooks!
Your channel is so inspiring!
Hannah Brants Agree!
Hannah Brants true that !
thank you love, keep sharing the light ✨✨
Coincidentally yesterday my mother in law found a suitcase full of my old journals I filled up over the past dozen years, since I was 14/15 in high school! I journaled avidly since middle school, those are probably lost in my childhood home somewhere. Rereading entries from so long ago and spanning different relationships and many bad times, a few good times, I felt so heavy and my presence was thrown off track. I always wrote when I was feeling extra emotional haha. It was enlightening to skim through one more time and settle more deeply into my peace and satisfaction with right now. I am now ready to let them go in recycling and get those negative memories away from me 👋
I've been journaling since I was in the 5th or 6th grade when I first started reading The Princess Diaries and thought having a diary was incredibly cool and some cute boy would find my very witty entries and fall in love with me lol. It slowly started becoming a way for me to introspect, unload and feel heard. I don't keep my journals. I burn them. I find burning them cathartic. It feels like release. It feels like a new beginning.
I wish I could’ve started journaling as much as you did. I could never finish a book through out middle and high school. But I think now in my mid 20s more than ever this would be the perfect time to start journaling. This is where I’ve found myself the most lost, the most insecure and confused. I can’t wait to start journaling. Thank you!
Love this! My friend recently gave me a journal as a gift and I started to write every night, I write a summary of my day so I can look back years in the future to see how much I've progressed. I never enjoyed writing when I was in High school but I enjoy it now.. I just find it fascinating how I can write my thoughts down on a piece of paper and refer to them later on. Keep up the great work:)
i do that too! i write a summary of my days in an app called DayOne though - and I add a few photos from the day :)
I'm glad you shared this video. It shows that I'm not alone because I do the same since I was in high school. now that I'm 31 and anytime see that pile of my life journals, I feel grateful, for I, we, do care about our own life story, if I may say. Thanks again for sharing. 😃
Thank you for sharing! I'm also into journaling, but I threw mine out. Watching your video makes me want to start keeping them. It's nice to go back in time and see what we were into or what was in our minds in those years.
I was just reading my journals from years ago, and it's so amazing to help you remember all you've overcome!
yes i think they're so precious :) it's nice to keep them
I sadly don't have that many Journals/Diarys. I have a old diary from 7th grade and since I watched your Morning Pages video last April I journal at least once a week. I Highlighted my favorite parts and plan to do a video about my Favorit parts/thoughts :D
:) it's okay you're starting now!
I can remember my first journal (many moons ago) was a Lisa Frank one, and at the time I was into Teen Titans, so I would ramble about how much I loved the show back then. Heh!
hehehe i remember watching that after school!
your voice is so soothing ❤
I'm afraid that someone find my journals and read them 😱
I know the feeling
it’s gonna sound random, but whenever i’m done filling up a journal, i burn them. somewhere safe where it won’t cause harm and i burn them. it’s freeing cause all your worries and fears are written on a piece of paper and seeing them burn away is like “wow, all of my doubts and worries were really nothing.” and you can move on with your life.
I learn ciphers and write in them, that way no Can read them at all.
Yeah that happened to me years ago.
It's okay. You can hide your journals behind a photo frame or behind a heavy object you can't move .
Because of Lavendaire,.....of you, the need to place my thoughts in a book, morning pages (or pages as I call it) and carry around with me more than one notebook at a time to write in at any given moment, is all thanks to you Aileen. This is far from a complaint, the practice is therapeutic and inspiring! & this video is a preview to what I and others will one day rediscover and uncover about our youthful former selves one day❤️ Thank you Aileen
Leesha
I love this! Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us
😊💜
Love this video. I've been journaling off and on since I was in middle school and now I teach middle school. I just got my 2017 artist of life workbook and that has become my newest record of "me". Mahalo for all of your positive perspectives and inspiration. ❤️
Love this, I have been doing the same for decades and looking at old ones, I want to laugh and cry...so many memories
right?! it's so nice to look back and laugh & cry 💗
I am a huge fan of your "Artist of Life" journal, having started in 2023, and I am eagerly anticipating 2024. While browsing your older videos, I was delighted to come across them once again!
aww! that's amazing lovely 💟 thank you so much
With the things you've said about journaling makes me feel better haha. I've been writing in them since I was around 8 or 9 years old. I used to feel weird about it and embarrassed but you set a whole new thought on it. Thank you haha. Glad I found this video, this channel❤️
Hi!! A lot of you asked "How do I journal?" or "What do I journal about" so I created a new video on How to Journal & Journaling Ideas and Prompts for Self Discovery. There's even a FREE PDF worksheet with 30 questions you can use to find yourself. Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/VkDpZatLuIc/v-deo.html
hi lavendaire, you should make a music with your lyrics.
Do you keep your journals when they are full? X
Finally found someone whose journal is not an *"extremely aesthetic notebook of inspiration"*
(Like me) and is truly just a cosy place to free up your head.....Love u..
I watched the video just now. Thank you, Aileen, for sharing your diary entries! When I read the early diaries, where were you lost and trying to figure out what to do, how to express your creativity and how to be yourself 24/7 I started to cry because it so resonates with me and my current situation.
Wow ✨ you’ll get through this dear
I think this is so cute. Her life was probably pretty uneventful, but it was someone’s life. And it means something. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Lavendaire, of course I love your channel but I want to confess something.. I did pause the video to read some of your journal. I hope you're not angry. That Mary Oliver poem about death is so lovely and raw. Anyway, I didn't see much of interest to me personally in those pages however one thing is for sure -- you are definitely an Enneagram type Four.
haha that's okay. i put myself out there and let myself be vulnerable that way. and that's so funny you say that because I definitely am! I've taken that quiz before. what are you?
I'm a 4 too :)
Exactly the same ! This is totally me. I related so much to some pages, most of them actually. I've been living in existential crisis for around 7 years now, it feels good to know I'm not alone, it feels good to know there are ways to (re)define ourselves and make things clearer.
You also seem very interesting Kelyrin. I checked out your channel and subscribed-- I hope you make videos again sometime. It's really cool that you speak so many languages and travel a lot. I wonder where you live now? Taiwan, Paris, Bulgaria, Vietnam... Poland? Wow! I hope you come out of the existential crisis. Leonard Cohen (also an enneagram 4) helped me with his words, 'I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece.' - inspired by his zen practice. take care x
Oh my, thank you SO much for your message, it means a lot to me ! I wasn't even expecting a reply, but wow, this was a great start of a day ^^ Thanks for subscribing, it's funny and surprising that you said this today, because I am actually planning on filming a video today !! Well, after 1 year and a half in Bulgaria, I just moved to Scotland one month ago ! Trying to find a job atm. But it's been great so far, i absolutely love traveling ! Thank you for your kind wishes, I'll continue to follow you. I discovered your videos a few weeks (maybe month or so) ago, and I've binged watch them hahah ! I will check out Leonard Cohen's words, this quote is beautiful. Thank you so much. xx
This has inspired me to journal more
Journaling reallyreminds us of how far we've come:) my journals are probably some of my most precious things!!
agree!!
so beautiful & inspiring.it's just really satisfying how you've filled in all of them and inspiring how you've been through so much and written so much and gone through so many phases in your life and are still here,living and breathing and well.💕🌸☀️It just goes to show life can be a great and wonderful adventure!!
I just love the way you are always you..you are such an inspiration...I'm grateful for finding you..thank you and keep glowing..💛💛
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm also an avid fan of journaling. I was also looking for someone whom I can listen to without having to read the caption, your accent and communication skill are great! Thank you for being here and I hope you make more videos going forward coz I love it here and I wanted to stay. ♥️
thats so cool that youve kept it up! i wish i wouldve documented more in my yrs between 20-25 as well. such a great way to reflect. loove it!
awh this was so sweet
So freakin' awesome that you have these to look back on!!!
I’ve got all my journals on display in a book shelf in my bedroom. I’ve told my whole family “feel free to read them BUT be warned these are my thoughts and you may not agree or like what you read” so far no one bas been brave enough. My six year old Grand daughter is the most interested and l started a “Jellybaby” journal for her when my daughter found out she was pregnant so on her 21st birthday she will get that journal about how l felt at becoming a Grandma. I have daily, themed, grandchildren and loads of travel journals. Each country has its own journal.
This taught me so much. I have at least 25 blank notebooks and now have a way to fill them all. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!
Its the best ever video on all youtube. Its so inspiring for some reason. I watch it every time I feel low. I cannot thank you enough for creating this specific video.
Love this, Aileen! You've made me want to start journaling again! It's so cool that you have all of these memories written down. I'm moving into a tiny house on wheels so you're inspiring me to start one to document this stage of my life.
thanks! that's so cool - yes it'd be lovely to document everything :)
i will nottt be tired of watching this video. Soothing. And very liberating.
This is so real. Love it.
"I kept writing about break ups and relationship" Darling how can any one do this to you with such a charming personality?
that's my favorite thing to do too. Your journal story is so cute.
I loved this! You are one of two people that inspired me to do morning pages. I started in November of last year and have already filled up one composition book! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
aww that's so lovely!! thank you for sharing 💞
I have a journal collection too!!! I buy one wherever I travel! Love your channel!
This is so sweet! Now I'm sad that I threw away all my old journals and kept only the actual one..
Such a lovely video, and what good memories and mementos for you to be able to flip back through!
:) thanks!
Such a relaxing video...
I am such an advocate for journaling. Going to be sharing this video with my friends.💝
I've just watched a few of your videos and i want to thank you for reintroducing Morning Pages to me and that it is okay to have so many journals at a times to be working on. :)
I also feel like i can connect to you more than some of the other youtubers going through life journeys as we are of similar age.
:) so glad to hear that, we're all on this journey together 💓
Wow, that's pretty impressive! You can really be proud of your consitency! Keep it up!
Your video was so relaxing to watch, watching it as I journal!
Thankyou ❤️ so much grateful for your existence ❤️
loved seeing your journals.
Love your videos!!!! My favorite part of this video was the Pucca notebook! 😍😍
I'm in love with the Girl with a Pearl Earring journal you have. I've been looking online for a while to obtain a similar one, but unfortunately, I'm not going to the Frick Collection Museum anytime soon. Also, I LOVE YOUR JOURNAL COLLECTION, THIS IS AMAZING AND SO INSPIRING.
You have basically documented every chapter of your life! That can become a book later on =)
Im new here and I would like to say that I love your channel. This is the kind of videos I was searching for.
welcome
When I was looking for videos that will inspire me to get organised, I found your channel. Since then I'm an avid fan. Always looking forward to your new vids! :-)
aw i'm so glad! thank you for being here 💜
I have tons of journals from 2013, starting at 10 years old? I still like write a lot when I can
I never comment on videos, but this truly inspired me to get my butt in gear and just work on myself and the things i love. Thank you!!!
aw that's so amazing!!
It's so interesting seeing how someone so inspirational thinks! Absolutely love everything about you !!
Love this idea! I have so many journals as well from over the years - this how I 'find' myself too :)
:) we are the same kind hehe
You have such a soothing and relaxing voice
thanks for sharing! this is so so inspirational
A really great video! The music and your voice are very relaxing :) your "morning pages" notebooks really inspired me and I'll try it out, starting tomorrow !!
ARMYUU
I got inspired to start a journal !
yay
I really love this style of video! It was very intriguing, it was fun to watch! Keep it up girl! ❤
thank you! xx
Thank you! I needed this. Ive been obsessed with notebooks but never know what to write. Now I have some ideas!
:)
oh my gosh!! incredible!!
Wow!! You are very impressive. You have filled so many notebooks! :) I hope I can do that too one day even though I have done one. I hope I finish more.
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful and inspiring video
This is really one of a kind :) thank you for sharing
Great content!! You inspire me so much! I want to start to write as well!
Love your channel!

Hi I am a Moro International student in Turkey and being here is not easy. thank youuu for this video. your videos inspired me to do Vlogging also.
Gosh, I love your stuff!
I can't tell you how much I love this! It's so inspiring! :))
Love love love this.
You are so inspiring !
I love you a lot
aw love you too
Love your videos ! I'm binging now hehe
This inspires me to do the same!
Updated version on journal flip through pleaseeee… really enjoy these videos
You inspire me a lot ❤️
Another gorgeous vid Aileen! you know i'm always your fan ♥ I have my journals just like that, even the handwriting looks so similar! Such a coincidence that my past two vids are about journaling and how I use them. I feel like we've written about similar things like what am i doing with my life? do I want this? etc. and you've come so far :')
thank you love!
your channel is so inspiring
I love you💕
your voice is so beautiful and calming
love this!!!
I have several journals and write in them sporadically. I wish I could focus and just write in one start to finish. This video is inspiring. I can relate. You are the best!
I love buying journals and want to full them but I never know what to write when I actually try. And I'm constantly afraid someone will read it if I do write and realize how pathetic I am. 😅
+CcakeAsh What to write about is easy, there's so many things to write about. You can have lists, your thoughts, your day and your reflection, you can write quotes and add sketches, you can write the lyrics from your favorite artists. you can talk about your social, school, home, and family life. Ask questions and answer them. Write letters to people you never really got to say bye to. Be you, be honest, and simply write your thoughts, document EVERYTHING in your life because looking back on it is amazing. There's also HUNDREDS of pages on the internet with prompts for journaling, as well as many journaling flip thru videos with inspiring ideas you can use. And about the anxiety someone will read your journal, I had the same issue. You could buy a journal with a lock, you can hide your journal from everyone, like a secret place in your house or room. Don't take your journal to places filled with people, like a job, schools, stores, basically anywhere really public. You could even keep your journal a secret that not even your friends know about. That way, no one would suspect anything. If someone does read it, don't worry about it. They won't have proof you actually wrote anything unless they take and show the journal to people. I know, it is embarrassing, but it is only you, and if you saw others journals (if they wrote one) it would be the same thing. don't worry about it it isn't worth it.
You inspire me so much
thanks love! I actually talked about self comparison in my self love video: ua-cam.com/video/1X4bS3LfKlg/v-deo.html :)
Such a lovely idea for a video! thanks for sharing :)
Loved this.
