"I know God will help me with the report" Amazing 😂 I need some of little Evelyn's faith and confidence, tbh

[jouelzy]

Lmao Baby Evelyn was straight and to the point. I definitely still have my journals from the third grade...

I feel like we often forget that children have really complex and rich inner lives. They have the capacity for extremely poignant emotions just like adults do, just with less linguistic ability to express them. It was an absolute joy to watch and reminisce with you. Thank you so much for sharing!

As for my sort-of diary secrets, in elementary school, I went through the yearbooks and circled the pictures of boys who scared me and girls who I thought were pretty. Boy, was that telling!

[Africanrenaissancestories]

as a dude i call it a journal. yes. and there are things in it that will never be seen by eyes other than mine. I was tearing with mixed emotions as you read this. we are so innocent as children looking back at even someone else's past lot. blessing.

[yyyannuuu]

I threw em out. My mama kept breaking into them to correct the grammar with red pens. 😥😥😥

[Curliful]

Bruh why did I tear up when you said “sometimes I feel like nothing” 😢 lol this was such a good idea for a video! ❤️

I wrote about my crush in my diary at 6years old. My sister found it and read it aloud for my mom IN MY PRESENCE. Mortification and betrayal can only begin to describe the feelings that I felt. Took me almost a score to forgive her...in fact, writing this comment is giving me slightly heated flashbacks. Like dzamn, she did me like that huh?

I remember I would write diary entries, and I would go into my older sisters room, steal her pink lip gloss, and put on like 2 pounds of it and kissed the bottom of the page 😂

“STEVE... IS A CRIME BABY” 10 year old Evelyn was dead about to throw hands

[briilives]

I teared up a little for baby Evelyn. The first sad one really took me back. This was sweet.

[sugoizoe]

First thing I thought is that you had OUTSTANDING hand writting as a 9 year old

[life_in_song]

evelyn, you do sponsorships SO RIGHT. i have zero problems watching sponsored content from you, because i know that the entire video is relevant without it being "in your face" or pushy. Brands, are you watching? This is how we want our sponsored content.

[isamuggle]

Professors who make software? That's next level pretend lol

[Truly_Wild]

This was the sweetest thing ever. When I was 12 I took a pledge to lose weight. I did 500 sit ups a day for a month. I had a 4 pack but it hurt too much to laugh and I love to laugh so I gave up

[TyiBlack]

Yes I still write in a journal because sometimes I want to give the universe these hands but the universe can fight so I just write down how I feel about the universe lol

"today was good i had a good day" young evelyn flexing on us

[tazzir]

Lmfaooo I wish I still had mine, my mom read mine and I felt so violated that I threw it away and never wrote one again. Even though all I wrote about was school 😂It's been like 15 years but I'm still salty.

I once kept a diary in 6th grade. I brought it to school one day. (Terrible idea) I remember during art class I went to the bathroom and one of my class mates started reading it out loud to everyone. 😭And of course she was reading the page where I talked about my crush in computer class. And oh was I dramatic about my crushes. I just love his cute lips... I don’t care if he was a bad boy... ect. 🤦🏾‍♀️ ⚰️💀😫Ahgghhdb. I was so shy I didn’t even take up for myself. I was mortified at the time but I look back now and laugh. But man, why are kids so evil?
