Your journal looks PRINTED. I mean that as the highest praise. Your writing and doodles are so neat and gorgeous. I am in in awe. And I absolutely love your vulnerability and vibe. You inspire me in so many many, thank you for sharing.

Great reflection, I really appreciate your openness and honesty about your journey. And of course... your journal is beautiful.

I just wanna say thank you for being so open with your life and relationships it’s hard for all of us and we all go through struggles and try covering it up but we shouldn’t we all have flaws but we should embrace it and embrace the fact that we are unique and I love how you talk about self love as well. Don’t be afraid to be open with your life as it can help others immensely to realise they aren’t alone and they matter. That they are human and gorgeous and find what you love in life 🥰🥺

I think my favourite thing about this is all the blank pages where you’re like: “look honestly I didn’t have the energy to fill this shit out sometimes.”
I love how real this is.
Also, it’s bloody gorgeous

"I'm trying to fix the problem with my mind and I can't do that, the problem will get fixed on its own, I just need to take the right next step"
I really needed to hear that, thank you.

I’ve never had boba tea but I know there’s several stores here in Temecula that have them and it’s only 30 mins away!
Girl I love you too!! I enjoy your honesty and the lovely simplicity/complexity of your spreads.
I imagine I’m a lot older than you, so trust me when I say please be kind to yourself! You only get one you! So be uniquely you and love every bit of it. I wish I loved myself a lot more in my youth ❤️

Wow! I'm 47 and have always drew letters or words on my leg with my finger. I have always known it's anxiety. I still struggle with anxiety, but it was much worse in my teens and 20s. Lack of control. Read of the unknown. Change is hard. Love your vulnerability and your journal!

[tabithadehaan]

Somehow listening to you is therapeutic to me. I am going through a hard time right now grieving and also trying to get my life on the road a little bit again. Take matters in my own hands. You remind me that taking smal steps is the way to go ♡

It's okay to not be okay..you can still be a beautiful mess and should embrace yourself.
That's the message I'm taking on from this one, you've been a big help dii🤗
Our vulnerability might save us..that pushes me to tell you I don't usually write comments but seems like you really care about them, so you deserve to know it's not just your journal that's so so beautiful, you are too.. you're a beautiful soul..i love your vibes.

Thankyou ❤️

You are now officially my favorite person here on youtube <3 I love bullet journalling myself and I see my bujo as my brain and mind reflected on to paper, so that I can better manage all of my emotions, ideas, memories - life basically. And of course the planning part as well (although the latter is less important to me). And I watch a lot of these bujo videos to find inspiration for my own bujo, but wow it is rare to find someone who actually share how they reflect their life down to paper! That is so inspiring for me to watch and learn from, since I like many others also have darkness to deal with. I wish you all the best, and I will follow you on your journey :)

[juliabieler]

I’m so happy to see so many comments from people giving back the love you give to all of us. I really appreciate your honesty about your vulnerabilities, you’re absolutely right about the importance of it. The less we talk about our feelings and fears, the scarier it gets, and it only makes us feel lonely and misunderstood.
By the way, I really enjoy seeing the changes in your style in the bujos, but would also love to see more of your earlier spreads as well! Lots of love for your, dear!

[minimalmiss]

Thank you for your words. It's so easy to feel helpless. I learned it's good to reflect, help, and know that we are not alone.

[debbieb]

Wow!! I can do hard things is my mantra!! You’re art is so beautiful!
3 years!! That is awesome. I got my first year at your age! It was a bumpy start. Keep going ODAT!
Here I am 39 years later and still
Learning!!
I’m starting my first bujo and am so excited to try something new. Thanks for sharing and being so open! God Bless!

[vaniaelizabethespinoza]

I watched this and I felt so much love that I can say now I’m definitely a blueberry. All the love you have for yourself projects and shines through. I love your vulnerability. It was very refreshing to hear you speak with your real emotions and experience, and how that began to evolve your bullet journaling style. I think that when people start evolving in their own skill, their mind literally is evolving as well to cope and to overcome the obstacles to be even better than before. This was amazing to watch, and you are amazing person as well.

[sueilysm]

I fall in love with ur bullet journal theme ... so relaxing to watch and makes my heart calm...

[addieasselstine]

Love your channel! Your bujo is beautiful, but my favorite is just listening to you talk about whatever is on your mind, anything that matters to you. Lately I’ve enjoyed having your video playing in the background while I edit. Keep it up girl! 😊

[creativehub]

Happy New Year’s Eve! Thank you for always sharing your videos and memories with us. You inspired me to start journaling! I ordered some things from AliExpress and I can’t wait to start! I hope you had a good year despite 2020’s ups and downs. I hope you and your family stay healthy. When I watch your videos I feel at peace, your style is so unique and it amazes me how fast you upload videos, so I hope you aren’t pressuring yourself. When I see your videos I try to be productive with you. You are my favorite channel when it comes to videos like these! Anyways, I hope you have a great 2021, fingers crossed things get better! Lots of love. ♡︎♡︎

Wow I feel so reflected. I also use bullet journaling to heal my anxiety. Thank you for sharing your experiences and showing yourself as you are, it really helps a lot :)
And of course, nothing to say about your bujo art... It's just perfect.

[durchschnitte]

I've been following you on IG for quite some time bc I loved your minimal monochrome quoteless style. I sometimes miss that since it's hard to find, the majority of bujo inspo is overly decorated and cheezy for my taste. Watching your flip through, however, really helps me appreciate the stuff you've gone through and how that reflects in your change of style. It's super interesting and helpful, even when the stuff I deal with is completely different from your experience - it's true, we can do hard things. So thank you for sharing that and I'll be around to see more of it :) All the love to you!

[aayushipanwar]

oh god!! U're just really really really super amazing. Never ever in my life have i been more overwhelmed then after watching your video. It was just so magical (if i had to put it in one word, otherwise I could write a whole essay on that) And i could have hit the like button a million times, and then another infinite times, if only youtube would have allowed me to. I don't know why it's just 330 yet. But trust me u're so damn amazing. And apart from being just a bujo flipthrough (which was also kinda striking with all of the aesthetic minimal themes and something very different from the bujo's i've seen yet. Neatness is something that really needs to be appreciated.) it was a blend of all the magical inspirations. Keep going. U're awesome.
