Am I the only one here 😂 who ALWAYS smells the pages of a new book, whenever I get one?
Nope!!! 🤣 Me toooooooo
Sameeeeeeeee
Nope😆😁😁
Omg same your so funny! HAHAH i love the smell!
Nope i do the same thing 🤣🤣
I'm 47 years old, and yes, I have been journaling since I was in grade school or elementary school. Its relaxing, it helps clear my thoughts, and quite frankly I just love it.
Thank you so much for sharing! I feel the same way!
@Mariya Rahman Yeah. It was on and off at first; I only documented when something "noteworthy" happened. but then in 2019, I decided to journal every day. it can be work to do that, especially when I'm traveling, but it's been worth it. Especially over the last 2 years. I really want to look back and know what I've been doing and thinking through this major lifetime event.
Yes! A youtuber finally says you can journal in a composition notebook! I watched a ton of journaling videos and I haven’t seen anyone use a composition notebook. Whereas I’ve been journaling for almost seven years and the majority of what I’ve used has been compositions! I love your videos Carrie!
Yesss you do youuu!!🤩 Whatever works for you is what works best!
👍 but I don’t even have
My first journal was a composition book. Though it was a wide riled book, it cost about $2.00 for almost 200 pages. I like composition books because the year can bo written on the front cover. At the beginning of the school year, they sometimes are discounted like 3 for $4.00 or something. A4 sized sketch books are great too.
Carrie just feels more comfortable with using Spirale notebooks and hardcover journals. I mean, that’s all I’ve ever used when I’ve journaled.
55 seconds: that is my favorite type of journal to write it because it reminds me of a real book and I have to say The Diary Of Anne Frank got me started. As to writing down the time with the date, I laughed because I was doing that for almost three years now and for a year I have also been writing down the day and night temperatures for future references.
That’s so cool that you include the temperature!! And haha I guess you were just way ahead of the game with writing the time😝 Thanks so much for sharing Katherine!!🥰❤️
I just randomly started to journal and I haven't regretted any second of it. I don't usually write about my day but mostly my feelings. It's nice to just vomit 4 pages of writing instead of overthinking about it for days. The part I enjoy the most about journaling is re-reading the things I wrote. It's really useful when you have pages of feelings to read when you start overthinking again and you're ok right after!
This is fun! I'm in love with your edits. Journaling is so relaxing and beneficial. This inspires me to go journal again.
Thank you so so much!! You should totally journal again!!🤩
I don't think ok you should do your homework when you have free time you can write journal
@@CarrieWalker I am new to this and I am your biggest fan ever ♥️
@Ginger Jessie talks samee
Yeah but it makes me tired after I write 4 words ._.
I have been journaling basically since I was in third grade when I first got a journal for Christmas. I use to write stories in them but since high school, I started keeping a journal for my thoughts and feelings. I am now in my early to mid-20s and I think keeping a journal by my side helps a lot. Where do you keep all of your finished journals? I don't know where to keep all of my finished journals!
That’s so awesome that you’ve been journaling for so long and that you’ve kept up with it!! I have my journals stacked in a really big drawer of mine. I’m debating on bringing them to college with me because they do take up space (I’ve already talked to my roommate about it and she’s fine with it!). I would probably keep them in a closet or under my bed to save space in the dorm. I never like to leave them right out in the open just for some peace of mind
@@CarrieWalker I love you so much
honestly i started journaling in grade one as well! I got inspired to start it up from books i read like dear dumb diary, dork diaries, etc. when i first was planning on getting into it i hyped it up and my friends wanted to as well so we all took our ten dollar bills to the school book fair and got ourselves each a puppy diary with a lock and key and all. I took so much inspiration of formatting from the books and that format has still stuck with me.That was the beginning of my experiences. Every year I keep a journal or two and a year later i look back at all of them, wanting to burn them cuz they're so embarrassing but i still kept them becuase i knew i would hate myself as an adult if i did.
Psa to anyone with old journals or sketchbooks or any embarrassing things you had as a child: dont burn them! They may be embarrassing now but in your adulthood youll look back and laugh, or they will take you to a place of nostalgia you cant get back.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story! And I second what you said- DONT BURN THEM!!! The cringe is worth it for the keepsake!!
I started journaling in 5th class inspired by my best friend then. In between I stopped writing for quite sometime, but now I still write journals and go through them occasionally.
Omg I love dear dumb diary💗
I love that you made sure to include that you can use any notebook. I personally prefer spiral notebooks because they stay flat really easily, but most people just use the other kind of journal
when I saw the jean journal...
DORK DIARIES !
(they r one of my top inspirations to journal + you)
ps. LOVE LOVE LOVE UR SOCKS!
THANKS!!
Yes. Yo socks be vibing and I low key wanna steal them
They're the besttttt
OMG YOU REPLIED!!! THX SO MUCH!!!
I am an avid journaler, BUT my problem is that no matter what journal I use I get tired of it half way through or less and then I find myself moving into a new journal. I dont think I have ever finished an entire journal yet. My favorite journals to use are the Leuchtturm 1917 or Moleskine.
That happens to me all the time as well I’m just like oh I have another notebook let’s Wright in it
My brother wanted to look inside my diary when I was writing (we were at the car with my grandma at this thing called pink lake)
He was forcing me to do it, grabbed it, and it broke.
I started to cry and my grandma was mad.
My brother ignored her and whined that he JUST wanted to look in it.
He doesn’t understand how precious it is to me
Oh my gosh I am SO sorry to hear that! That’s an invasion of privacy and I’m so sorry that it broke :(
@@CarrieWalker thanks. Now I have to hide it in this bag because my dad and brother would want to read it. Also my mum because she gets curious. My grandma sees me hiding it but she’s Filipino so she can’t understand most words.
My sister once tore a oage and colored over some when i was in school!(she comes earlier than me)
Whenever I write my diary, my brother will start peeking at it and continuously ask 'what are you doing?' even when he knows what I'm doing. And once my mother snatched my diary while I was writing just to see what was written. Then she was telling me not write in case someone reads it. 😡
@@_princessunique_ omg ! people just don't respect boundaries 😀
That's amazing that you have Been journaling since first grade, I could never do something that long, Right now I'm trying to journal :) Great tips and amazing videos:) also love your socks😁
Madame._. Zilla Thank you so much!!☺️ You totally got thisss!!
I have been journaling since 3rd grade and now I'm in 5th grade it's been a pretty fun experience, iam totally in love with it and Iam think to strat daily journaling 💜
I ALSO sometimes do bullited lists when I journal because I find it easier, more convenient, and very helpful.
That's awesome I would love to start but never get around it. Hopefully I'll try it now. Big super like babe 👍🥰
So much love for you Kari!!💖
I’ve been journaling since I was 18 (shortly before going into my freshman year of college). I’m 24 now. My entries are a lot like yours (self-reflection, how my day went, “brain dumps”, etc.) and I’ve dappled with bullet-journaling but it never stuck. I also like to type longer essays, and sometimes if I don’t have a notebook on me I’ll write it down on loose-leaf and glue it into whatever journal I am working on. As of today, I have 5 full journals!
Journaling is fun honestly because it keeps you busy all day😊
2:33
You are my long lost sister...
This helped a lot! I remember when I was in 1st grade and I was journaling, a I wish I never used a yellow crayon ;-;
YELLOW CRAYON?!😭🤧
@@CarrieWalker Yes, I was dumb child.
A CRAYON😭
When I started journaling, I wrote with pencil, now I write using blue ball pen.
After watching this video, I finally decided to give starting my own journal a try! I'm using a pretty purple notebook with unicorns on it for my journal. (It also has a lock!)😄
artist tip:
if u have old journals that u wrote in with pencil spray it with fixative and it wont smear (make sure to spray it outside or with open windows cuz it **will** gas u out)
Omg yes! My roommate is an artist and she JUST told me about that spray the other day!! She uses it in her sketchbook but she was like "You DEFINITELY need to use it outside"
@@CarrieWalker yea it has a very strong smell😂😂
Carrie, you are the reason I started journaling, and I'm so happy about it, it's been 3 days since I've gotten my first "Official" notebook that I've actually planned to write in everyday, and since my goals has been a page a day I get so happy when I've written 3 pages everyday thank you for these videos they make my the happiest person alive!
This was two years ago but I can’t stop watching your contacts because it’s just teaching me about so many things and I just finished writing something in my journal that is really important to me and is sort of a lot more pressure off my shoulders to just let it go out of my mind I had so many thoughts that are just on my mind and it feels was so good she just let them off of my mind
I’m 34. My oldest journal is from 1998 when I was 10. Lol. It’s goofy! I wrote a lot more when I was younger and I just wrote. Nothing fancy. In my teens, I used LiveJournal but printed everything before closed them and still have them. I quit doing either by the time I was 18ish but I’m getting back into it and I’m using it as a creative outlet too. Loving markers and stickers and all that.
Thank you! I'm 50, and my mom said that I should start a journal, and I am so glad she did, because my life is not what I want it to be, and I think this will build momentum in my life. Thank you again!
after watching tons of carrie walker journal videos I'M OBSESSED WITH JOURNALING
I will definitely try to make my own journal of my life because I think it will be a lot of fun thanks for sharing love you tons😘
I started journaling (2018).. I requested my parents to buy me a diary, but they think it is waste of money. So at first I used a journaling app. But now I am writing in school notebook and do some DIY. And yes I also write time into it... 😊.. Love from India 🇮🇳. Please make a video on how to hide diaries.
I'm so glad that you're able to write in notebooks! That's a great idea!
Im 13 years old girl. I love your videos from sri lanka. Next year i want start my journal. I watch your all journaling videos. Thank you for give this idias
Your videos are so underrated. While watching this I paused the video to see how many subscribers you have. I was shocked to see you had only 3.5k. You deserve so much more and I was helped so much. I'm thinking about starting a journaling channel as more things are happening in the world. You've earned a new subscriber. 😉
So sweet!! Thank you very much!🥰
No problem!
I love journaling! Like if something is on my mind or I have nothing to do, I love sitting down and write about my day and how school drama is going! I love your videos! Now I have the perfect thing to write in my journal now! I have been writing it science I got one for my birth day last year. Happy new year everyone!🥳🥳
This are the type of journal I was lookin for ages!
Yes, journal. Keep records to see improvement. Thanks for sharing and have a bless day.
You too!! Thank you so much! I love tracking my improvements through journaling :)
I really love journaling! I use pencil so I will start changing to pen, thanks for the advice! I’ve also started journaling every day of my life (hopefully) instead of just special events. Again, thanks for the advice!!!
Before, I used to journal when something BIG happens. But nowadays I am inspired by you so I journal daily. Thanks for inspiring me ❤️
So happy for you!!❤️
Ive been journaling since 2020, i have about 5 journals. I draw pictures in the diary of a wimpy kid style. The books i use are the wimpy kid blank journal.I recently started year 7 so it is special to look back at my old journals because they are drom when i was in primary school. Im hoping i have journals for the rest of my life
I actually threw away most of my journal / notebooks.. when I was a kid I used to write a diary and my sister read it so I got rid of it and didn't start a new one. After that I started writing A LOT in high school and when I finished school I threw them all away because a lot of them were not such happy memories but now I kind of regret not having them.. I haven't been able to really journal ever since school because it brings back bad memories but I'm starting to get into it again! I've been writing a few for a couple of years, haven't finished any of them yet but that's fine!
Thank you for the joy of journaling 🌈
People like you inspire me to Journal more
Her: Whats the worst thing that can happen?
Me: *Someone* *reads* *the journal*
I loved this video girl! I think it’s so cool that you started since 1st grade. I had bought a journal to start writing things, but I haven’t used it and just use my planner lol. Hope you’re having a great day! :)
Thanks so much Erie!! Today’s been pretty great :) Hope you’re having a great day as well!!💖
I really love you videos! I started journaling in the end of September and I have recently finished my first journal! You give me so much motivation!
Omg im so inspired in your youtube videos !! I've been journaling a lot this year and i make sure i write down everything each day and when I'm like in my 20's i feel like it would be so fun to remember all of the memories you've had and i also keep one in my Backpack each day - Your biggest fan
It’s so good to know that There are people out there who focus more on words than I computer games. Thank you
3:41 I recognize that cover anywhere!! I’m using that same notebook for my current journal!! ✨
Twins!!
@@CarrieWalker Yes! 🤣 I’m about half-way through with it!
I just watched your “Reading my diary” video and now i’m obsessed!I tried journaling when I was in 1st grade but it only lasted a day😅I am still procrastinating till now,though😅I wanna change myself this/next year.Thank you so much for explaining,you’re killing my storage😅I downloaded like 20+ of your videos.Not only cause i wanna know more about journaling but also it’s so entertaining.Love you Carrie
LOVE your sponge bob socks. I adore him. Thank you for this wonderful video. NOW I can get started. youre AWESOME!!!
Started watching you yesterday and obsessed 🤩
loving your edits. i just started to bullet journaling and its been a adventure.
Omg I BET!! Thanks so much girl😋
One of the most motivational videos I have seen! It is my new years resolution to start journaling and I have! :)
I love your tie dye bedsheets and posters in the background
Great video! And I find tge idea of writing your dreans in your journal really interesting, because most of the time you forget your dream, but when you write it down and look back to it you remember it so clearly :)
Exactly!!
@@CarrieWalker 😃
I have started journaling from this year and I saw tons of videos related to how to do journaling but yours was the best 👍💯 thanks
Aw omgg thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Carrie! I am starting a journal in 2023!! I COULD NOT find where to start. I have seen so many other videos that just tell you to write stuff, not what to write.
You can use journals for drawing,writing,quotes,studying, your life,what you like thoughts, crafts,art ideas,more
I'm so late in this video, but never late to learn something new! You inspire me a lot, and made me want to start journalling even more! Thank you so much Carrie! My favourite video of yours, is the one you were reading your old diary... It was so fun to watch haha!
I use my journal for so many things.
To do list for the day, my feelings and thoughts about things I feel uncomfortable to talk to people about, what happened through the day, ideas on art because I draw, ideas for the future, dreams I've had when I woke up.
Hi ! I've been watching your journal videos for 3 days, I'm actually enjoying those ! Your way to journaling is how I feel about it.
When I was young, a friend offer me my first journal. I've never been constant on writting every day, but I wrote when I need it. This journal is not finished but one year ago I wrote the last entry.
I've actually a bullet journal since september 2017. At the beggining I just wrote list, but now I'm writting e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g that is in my mind. I write to do list for the day, then once the day is off, I write about my day, and the next morning I write my dreams of the night. I'm affraid to write a lot of things because I will finish my journal in a month ! But I'm ok with it. This is what I need now, may be the next month will not be the same or it will x).
Big kiss from a little french girl. I'm sorry for my bad english but I like to practice by watching journal videos. :3
I LOVE this!! Also, your English isn't bad at all! You're doing a great job :)
Your videos are so excited
ive been journaling seens first grade and now im in 4th grade and your the one who inspired me so THANK YOU!!!!
😀😇
This is inspiring me it's kind of fun and I really enjoy doing this
I have been journaling scince 2nd grade and then had a big break so this video helped me get back to it. Great vid!
so I am late BUT I’ve been going through some stuff lately and I found you by watching your “reading old journals” and it inspired me to write in a journal so I got one and I’m going to start writing in it also I came across this video :) thanks Carrie
Any time!🥰
i really loved this video :) I started jounaling about an year ago and I wasn't very consistent at that time....but then I started to write everything down and gradually it became a habit and now i'm obsessed with it.....I absolutely love journaling :) Your videos are amazing Carrie :) Btw, i too made a journaling prompt jar....its really cool
Aw thank you! I love that :)
This is literally the best video i have come across on journaling. All the other ones I've seen either required s lot lot of things to start (like stickers, highlighters etc) or had a particular format to follow through. Thank you for this.
OF COURSE!!! Thank you for such a kind comment!
@@CarrieWalker no problem 😊
Literally this motivated me to journal again 🤗
Love your hand writing 💗❣️💗☘️
Thank you SOOO much Carrie! This video helped me SOOO much with my journaling! Thanks!😄
I love Carrie she inspired me to start journaling I am starting to ask my parents for at least 4 journals because I like to write and I love to spend time by myself. I would also really appreciate if she made a video of her showing what she wrote in her journal’s
Carrie is the queen of journaling
AH!! ILY!!❤️
Laugh out loud. I'm a 31 year old woman watching this. Super well made thank you. Our 6 year old daughter would like a diary. Both my husband and I have not kept a diary. We are gowing to buy a beautiful booklet for her and give the diary a name. Thanks for the help

I always wanted to journal but I didn't know how to so this video really helped

I've been journaling since first grade as well! I'm in my mid-20's and I write every day. I no longer have most of the journals from my childhood (which is fine by me lol) but I've kept every journal I've had for many years now.
That's so cool!
YESSSSS I LOVE THE SOCKZZ
thanks Carrie- going to show this to my students today- we are doing the topic of diary writing. this i hope will help and inspire them a bit
I remember years ago I was like “I’d never journal in my life!” But the more time passes by the more I want to start doing so
Loved this! I always want to journal but never keep up with it! Love all your pens and journals 🥰
You should totally give it a try!! Maybe try setting aside time to do it once a week :) Love ya girl!!💕
This is So helpful to me, Thankyou for making this video, it will help me to get started again, after not doing much of anything since before the pandemic. 💗
You are the best!
I love your vids so much i watch your vids every day! i am your biggest fan❤

I've been journaling since I was 9 year old I always used to write date I talk about my day and my feelings now it's been 4 years since I started journaling and I have noticed my grammar getting better.
I love your videos Carrie! Thank you for all you do.. You inspired me to start journaling and now I know what I'm doing XD
I just got a new journal and I’ve been pretty stuck.
This video helped so much! Thanks
I'm so glad!❤️
I have not journaled yet but I am going to start because it seems fun!!!
Your handwriting is so great!!! Love the video😘❤😍
I actually have been journaling since 4th grade and one i took it to my annual day practice and while I was venting through it, my teacher called. So i left my diary and the sticky notes i was gonna stick in it there. I was practicing my dance and when I came back I saw that the rubber on the book was placed in the wrong order. So i asked my friend who touched it and she told me she didn't know cause she was in the washroom. I was so frustrated and I saw these two dudes in my class talking to my crush and saying something in his ear.. i was really confused and was deep in thought if they could be the ones who opened the diary. I rushed to ask them and they finally FINALLY TOLD ME it was them. I WAS RAGING! i complaint my teacher and she gave them a punishment for invasion of privacy.. I swear ppl are too curious that they start to invade the person's personal space (also I shouldn't have kept the diary outside my bag)
I love writing in my diary but sometimes I don’t know what to write, so this was perfect for me!❤️
Yay!!
