The letter of forgiveness is for sure a good method. Writing letters that you do send might be a great idea as well. I remember being around 15 years old and not knowing how to express myself to my parents, I just wrote a letter. As you said, it was so emotional I basically cried the whole time I was writing. Had I started an actual conversation, I would never be able to say what I wanted to. A letter also guarantees that your words will be listened to the very end, without anyone trying to interrupt.
Great Video on a topic close to my heart!!! Guess what? I'm a 57 yr old man and been journaling since 1977. YES!!! I have many volumes just like you. I was checking youtube journaling videos because Im gonna do a How To Journal workshop at my church in Vacaville. So many other things to mention too. My journals are ALWAYS written to God. Peace! T. Kingi
Wow that's good. I always have problem with praying. I dont know how to pray, how to talk to God. I always feel praying is like memorizing words, and saying words to air. I am very new on journaling, and I think it's a wonderful idea about writing to God. Thank you
I know that writing down my thoughts and emotions is very beneficial. I'm just not comfortable with the possibility that someone might read it. It's not that I have bad secrets or sth I'm just so private. Anyone feels the same?
Hi! I'm a little late but maybe you still read the comments. I had the same problem and decided to stop writing because of that. But then I realised that I spoke several languages so I thought that writing in a foreign language in a journal would allow me to write anything I want without the risk of having someone from my family reading it. Plus, it helps you extend your vocabulary because you have to look some words up. Thought it might help ;)
There was a period in my life where I also thought the same, and because of that, I never did a journal about what happened in my day, or things that I wanted to remember because, as Lavendaire said, I have really bad memory regarding my memories. Had I not thought that way, I wouldn't have to cope now with the feelings of regret of not having done so, so if you are in any similar way like I was back then, do it please. Also, as she said, you can be careful enough, you can have a doc in the computer wich is both invisible and locked, just make sure you remember the password.
Yaaas same but after watching this video I decided to journal, I think you should just make it seem like an ordinary notebook and don't be so extra I think no one will know
I remember my petty dad took my journal and started reading it and I was like, “DAD!!” and he was like, “It’s not private if it’s in my house.” and I was so mad because there were things I never wanted anyone to read in it.. I live with my mom now and I asked her not to read my journals and she said, “Okay. I won’t. But if there is something you want to read to me out of them sometime I’ll listen!” she was very nice about it :)
I just tried your method of writing a letter to someone just after watching your video , I’m so grateful that i watched it today and tried just after watching your video , while writing the letter I found myself being so honest and transparent that I wasn’t with anyone . It made me so happy that the person with whom I can be transparent is myself only , I realised that you need nobody to talk with if you are just honest and transparent enough with yourself . With this not only I have got a friend ( that’s myself) with whom i can share anything I can also find what my weaknesses are and how can I overcome them . Thank you so much for the lovely video . Wishing you luck all the way from India .❤️ You have no idea how much your videos maybe helping people with their problems. Sending you all the love.❤️
The thing about forgiveness is it isn't about saying what was said or what happened was OK. It is about saying, I am not going to take up any more of my time thinking about this issue. It isn't OK, but it is over and done. It isn't going to change what happened, so now it is time to forgive and move on. Don't forget to forgive yourself as well.

Yaa!!! Happy journaling😃 I think to journalise your thought & emotions is very knowing about your self..... That's really!! Amazing idea! For knowing right direction of my own imagination possibilities and more vision clearity about life🎑🍁 Thanks !! For sharing every possible ways of making clear vision about every corners of life🍹
I just got so excited for this video. I grabbed my coffee, rolled out my yoga mat, got into my sweats and hoped it wouldn't end. Basically, I can always take away a message of inspiration from your videos. Infinite love and gratitude for all that you do!
Love the idea of writing letters. I'll give it a try. ''Forgiveness doesn't make them right, it makes you free'' but sometimes the pain just too deep andletting it all out might just be what I need
I love that quote that you wrote, it's so true, yet it is so difficult to 100% let go of your feelings towards a situation/person that made you feel incredibly hurt.
these are some notes I made while watching the video, hope it helps! Journal in the morning atleast 3 pages which is stream of consciousness just let your thoughts flow. And next in the evening when you go to bed just get your thoughts out. When you feel lost, emotionally stirred up, journal as well. Start with "how do I feel at the moment?" Just asses your mind, assessing life, evaluation what you're going thru, and envision what you want in the future. Also journal things you're grateful for. Be authentic and honest dont filter anything. Always shine positivity after facing negativity, so after writing negative thoughts, write what's brighter coming thru the negative situation, and what you're always grateful for. You can write the letter to someone. If you ever have a grudge for someone, write a letter to someone and forgive them. Keep love and light at the centre of everything. Forgiveness is the key. A letter of forgiveness. Organize your thoughts visually. Plan career goals songs to write branding business ideas creativity everything that you wanna do and plan physically write down graph bullet point diagram. Try mindmapping. Can use scrap book for your journal. Like pasting tickets for a concert mementos a letter just captures your memories. Document digitally thru day one also upload photos you took that day.
do you ever worry about someone finding them and reading them? or that if you were to pass away that someone would come across them and read them? (I do hope that you do live a very long, pleasant life, tho). It seems like there's a lot of personal stuff (thoughts emotions letter ) in these journals - and so that is why I ask
i don't care that much actually haha! especially if I were dead... I don't think I would care at all. It's me and I embrace it. Emotions are just emotions, I don't take it so personally. Everyone has them.
I actually do that :) I am always writing on my mother tongue, so people at the Uni or at my work won't be able to read it and at home I don't really care, because I live with my boyfriend and I feel comfortable with him reading my journal, altho he never does and he really respect my privat area, but most of the time I will talk with him about something and not write it down. It's good to have your 'safe person' :) I also do that thing with another language with my planer and to do to lists, because I just don't want people to know every little thing i am working on :)
Tagr R. Option A: keep it locked up. Option B: write it in a foreign language (great if You live abroad or intend to practice Said language) ir a selfmade cider.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been searching video of journaling for hours this afternoon. Every video about journal on TH-cam that I have watched just stressed me out, that there’s a pressure of how your journal should look like. Like I have to journal in certain way and faking it to be a very perfect colourful or creative journal. But your journals just made me feel so relief that make me feel like I’m okay with what every way I do my journal and make me feel ok to be honest!
"Your thoughts become things." That is so true. Sometimes I would write down in my journal, "Oh this person must be doing this because he or she is that." And later I started to believe my own thoughts that were first written only as assumptions or speculations. Maybe I was right sometimes, but even when I was wrong, I had a hard time getting out of my own head and thoughts. I think I am going to take your practice and think of a positive side of the situation at the end of my negative thoughts. Thank you so much Aileen. I have been binge watching your videos in the past few days and I've learned so much from you. You radiate so much positive energy and that's what I need in my life right now.
I'm pretty sure you heard this a lot but I wanted to let you know anyone. You'r actually changing my life.... you'r videos are the reason why I'm now productive and confident while enjoying my life as 16 year old teenager. I'm so glad that I found this channel. Everytime I need motivation , you'r videos are my one and only choice. Thank you.
write a unsend-letter to someone is really a good idea to express and spill out our feelings about them without make them hurts. and i really love your idea about it, that such a good option instead share our feelings to anyone else which only be gossips. Thank you Aileen....keep up and inspiring people!
I love journaling, it’s so calming and you can get everything off your chest and you feel so good when your done. If you haven’t been journaling then you should DEFINITELY journal. You can do it when ever but I like to do it at night because I can sleep better just like she said. One thing I would recommend is to write the date, also don’t worry about writing neat because it’s kind of stressing if you want to write down so much things about your day and life. So yeah don’t write extremely neat if you don’t want to. Also nothing is forced upon you, it’s not like you will have to show anybody. If you want it for yourself and for yourself only then keep it that way! Be super honest in it. If something happened and you have bad blood between Someone be honest about if you did anything wrong. Once you find out if you did anything wrong then learn from that experience, forget about the fights and move on to the next chapter of your life! It’s really important to always move forward and try to become the best you that you can possibly become. You should also think to yourself if you are doing anything in life that you would like to change, that can especially be helpful. So yeah those were some tips on journaling. Remember, have fun!
You said once that bullet journal wasnt your thing. But I must say - you creating lists, mindmaps and so on in one journal is basically what bullet journal is about ! I was always that person who created many notes and lists everywhere - and was never able to find them later. So I'm a big fan of having such notebook on my desk :) Love you and your channel!
I love that you allow yourself to be authentic but then end with asking yourself shifting questions, like what is the brighter side? that's so powerful!
What I love about your journals is that they're not so strictly edited and visually put together. YOu're just writing in them and they're a bit messy and I'm happy to see someone who is so relaxed when it comes to journaling. All the other videos I watchd on journaling and journal prompts always had 10+ different pens and stickers and washy tapes and created these beautiful artistic notebooks and I want to have that too but I don't have the time or energy or creative impulse to do the same.
I Completely agree with you, my soul is always more free when I journal about my problems or vision or when I'm burned/tired. And always end up with positive thoughts.
All great advice some of which i practice or have practiced in the past. When I started working from home FT (2.5 years ago) I started organizing my day using an Agenda (prior to that I used to do list). It worked out so great I started including personal/life items into my Agenda. That worked out brilliantly. Now I use an Agenda to organize my life. What I mean by that is it's no longer limited to my professional day or personal list it's all combined to include habit trackers, to do list, professional meetings, personal appointments, monthly/quarterly/yearly work & personal goals, chores, bills, budgets EVERYTHING. lol Needless to say it's grown but it really works. This year i've added a dot grid journal. It's made an incredible difference. I use it as a personal & professinal brain dump it's filled with thoughts, ideas, brain storming, bullet lists, mind maps, research notes related to a problem/goal i'm working on just everything & it's helped me keep my thoughts organized. It works like a download or hard drive for my brain & I do it as the need arrises. It prevents me from feeling overwhelmed by my thoughts, an idea, project, or task etc. I'd recommend everyone try it. I've also practiced the write a letter method you spoke on. I don't religiously use it but anytime i'm feeling a particular way about my significant other (usually @ a cross roads). I've written a letter to them about my their actions, circumstances, &/or my feelings towards a particular event then i keep it around for a limited amount of time re-read it & marinate on my feelings, what options i have, & make a decision in the name of self interest aka my happiness. It's helped me organize my thoughts, feelings & prioritize/make an action plan. I'm going to try that 30 question pdf. Thanks for filming this. I subbed.
thank you for using subtitles in your video's I can't hear properly so it's nice when people use subtitles, you may not think it's much however to people who can't hear it means a lot to us I find so many youtubers including medical professionals who don't include subtitles in their videos, I also want to start journalling I think it would help me with my mental health as well as brain injuries, I have long term and short term memory loss which means I have missing memories from years ago (prior to my injury) and I lose memories since my injury so I sort of regret not having started sooner, but new year new me sort of, well suppose new year new habits
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the prompts. Every time I've started to journal, I've found myself looking at a blank screen or paper. Been told for years journaling is a good way to release things or figure your inner thoughts, but I've never felt like I'd have anything interesting to say. "Today I.. hung out with my dogs, ate a baked potato, and cleaned the house." Stuff like that. Like you need to be interesting and have an exciting life to journal. Thank you again for all your time and energy helping us!
So there was, just thinking of ways to come out of myself while trying to convey my thoughts effectively though the fading art of writing. I searched online for some valuable insight, just trying to see what I find and possibly learn something new. Mind you, there is a lot of information out there jeez! Well anyways then I stumbled across you on TH-cam discussing - how to journal-. I must admit you offered some great points and your presentation was very well articulated. Your words are actually immensely intriguing, and I can sense a strong genuineness in them. There is so much passion in the way you speak; it complements such a fond face. I am far from home, and I am a soldier deployed who has plenty of time to contemplate and write. I have started journaling a few months for the first time to see where it would take me. I am not new to transferring what’s on my mind and expressing myself, but this truly helped. Let me stop there, thank you I enjoyed listening to you.
ive journal on and off since i was 8 yrs/old. but it wasnt until 18months ago that everything shifted and journaling has been my life saver. since i have wrote 4 journals. i write 5-10 times a day. something for 5 minutes and others for hours. my life is so complete and i couldnt even imgine going back. ive never been ashamed or worry what others think but sometimes i write the tinest and at the time i think the most unimporant things. this video really confrimed I'm not crazy and journal is something im never going to give up. have a beauitful day xxxx
I am watching your video for the first time and I love how you mentioned writing a letter of forgiveness to someone. That's something I plan to start doing from now on, only my journaling method is different from an average everyday diary journal that most people think about. I have several average journaling entries in my journal/diary thing, but the past few entries, I've changed how I wrote them out. I took my journal in a new direction and turned it into a prayer journal. I can't remember where I even got the idea the other day to look up "prayer journal" online, but I did it and even though I just started today, I am so grateful that I did it because I feel like this will be something positive for me. I have to work on the forgiveness thing, so I may start doing that in a similar way even though my journal is a prayer journal. I'm going to focus on the forgiveness letters that you've mentioned - I may start writing a letter or two a week in that style because I think that will help me tremendously. My father passed away on April 12, 2018 so I'm going through a lot right now even though the immediate shock and disbelief and the painful storm of emotions has died down, I still have to work on forgiveness, and I feel like it's an ongoing process, so thank you for mentioning that "forgiveness letters" idea in your video.
Used to journal all the time before but haven't done so in years! This video is a great hint from the universe that I should begin again. Thanks Aileen for being so inspirational.
@lavendaire, I honestly really appreciate this video, because most of the journaling one sees on social media is journaling which is always made to be aesthetically pleasing, which makes it very daunting when all you really want to do is compartmentalise and work through things, and with the journals you showed the focus isn't on keeping pretty themes or that sort of thing, it's just raw and for a long time it felt like if one isn't journaling in an aesthetically pleasing way, then it's not "good" journaling. So thank you for showing us your journals and helping to dispute that idea.
She's so positive she makes me feel better and gives me hope that i can still explain my self by writing a letter when no one wants to listen....😭😭😭😭😭😭I just let out the pain by doing that
I have to say, you are right now one of my favorite youtubers! Thank you Aileen for always delivering the best of your self, your efforts definitely do no go unnoticed. I would also like to add that as a licensed counselor, your channel speaks to me not only on a personal level but also on a professional one. Your tips on positivity, mindfulness, self care and journaling are all things that I like to promote when I work with clients. Seeing videos like these really help to normalize these strategies in a relatable and fun way for viewers. Best believe I will share some of these journaling prompts for future clients (even myself, they're awesome!) Oh, and another letter that can also very deep is a goodbye letter (to anyone or anything) to help people move on from people, habits, or loss. It is a really powerful exercise that I recommend anyone to try!
I've been journaling every day since October 1sr 2016 and I've got so many benefits from it, it has changed my life and it's definitely become a habit of mine. I'd spend between 30 to 45 minutes a day to reflect on my day, to write about what I've learned and heard, to try to make sense out of my emotions and feelings. I really encourage everyone to start journaling daily or at least 3 or 4 times a week ! It's life changing !! I've grown a lot, learned so much about myself and discovered what my true values and beliefs are !
Quick question: Do you ever read what you write? I journal daily but I don’t really read it! I do it just to empty my head. I want to review it and took out the lessons and see how I am changed.
Black Screen Education I rely on making the page which I write attractive to look at . I carry the notebook which I write on it wherever I go , I read it a little when I feel bored and I have no mood to write, l also like comparing my writing to others as a kind of understanding of the differences between people’s ideas and different styles. “ I am not good in English “
+Ghada Xxl Your english is good. Thats interesting way you have. I do my journaling before bed and I want it to be as quick as possible.. I thought to dedicate time each week and review the whole week and write summary or something but I kinda always skip that :/ You draw somethig to make it attractive or what?
I have been journaling for the past 3 years of my life, and I believe this is what truly changed my life 🌟I hope everyone could understand the power of journaling and practice it daily. Everyone deserves to live their dream life 😌🙏
I love the way you see life and I love how you wish to spread this lifestyle to others as well. I think it's really important that people take time in the day for self-reflection because with technology and social media, we don't get the opportunity to be focused on ourselves since we're so focused on others.
is it me but I always have so many thoughts but I'm also 33 and lived a life so I have a lot to say. I also started implementing morning pages because of you. Just found your page so I get the luxury of binging. beautiful hair, voice, everything.
Watching this video had me nodding at every point. I've had a long vacation from journaling and am trying to get back on track. And you're right, sometimes we just have a lot of going on in our minds and need to get it out. Thanks for sharing this! :)
I've never really tried journaling. I'm really open to the idea especially after this video and think that im going to start doing it. I feel like it will be very beneficial for keeping yourself in a good mindset. Thank you for opening up to us about your experience !
I'm so happy I found your channel! Been watching your videos all morning and you're just so positive and full of light and I love it! Love hearing your thoughts of journaling since I recently started journaling again so it's great to have different tips and guidance on how to write more and also how to include all the positive things that is going on in life, even though some days you have to seek more to find them! Keep doing what your doing, have a great day and week ⭐️🌸
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me get better at journaling, I used to think diarys or journals were about writing down crushes and stuff like that.And I love that your really positive and forgiving.Witch is very sweet.
The whole morning, three pages of just writing without analyzing what you write sounds like so much fun. I'm going to try this out sometime, but not this month I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo. (Even though I didn't officially sign up)! :D Thanks for the awesome video and wonderful journalling tips/ideas. :D
Great video! I have been journalist a lot when I was a teenager but I stopped before I turned 20. Now it has been a few years with some attempts to journal but I didn't keep it up for more than one or two days. When I saw your video about your journals, I decided it would be time to start journaling again. Yesterday I finally started and now I'm trying to be consistent about it. It puts me in a great mood to take some time for myself in the morning and write something just for myself :)
Thank you ! Just thank you I don't wish you blessings cause I know you just attract them to your life with this wonderful lifestyle and way of thinking !
In a world full of amazingly decorated daily journal ideas, here is what I found in your channel - Simplicity at its best!!! I don't even have a count of how many pages I've written so far in my life, because that's my life and writing is profession... however, this whole journaling concept is so apt, yet I kind of felt a pressure to have a perfect one for myself. Well.. you have an answer to it! I don't need my journal to look beautiful, or decorative... it's just have to reflect ME! Thanks for making this video.. I don't feel lost anymore :-D
I have been trying to journal but it never really clicked. This video helped me get a start on journaling and the meaning behind it. I just want to say thank you so much :)
I love you so much. I really needed your videos at this moment in my life. I am from Turkey, and you should know you are inspiring so many people around the world, and I am appreciative. Thank you so much.

Lavendaire. Nice Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about - Mackorny Clean Skin Blueprint (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for eliminating your limiting beliefs minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
just watched your video now and it helped me a lot and inspired me to write something in my journal.. especially the 'write a letter' to someone and writing when I feel lost. Thank you!!❣️
journaling takes me back to when my teacher in high school teacher would make us write for 30 minutes but there was never an explanation as to why we were doing so. Thanks for all your ideas!
We have so many of the same journaling habits! Yay! I've probably been journaling and automatic writing since I was 10. It's so cathartic and healing. Love seeing this described so simply and beautifully.
This was a great video, inspired me on my writing journey. I really like the idea of writing a letter to someone to help you express any emotions whether they are good or bad about that person. I'm definitely going to start doing that ❤️❤️
Your way of explaining ideas is super convincing. Thankyou for making a difference in my life. Because of YOU i started writing more frequently esp the forgiveness letters and scrapbooking journal. Idk about others but you definitely made a lilttle impact in my life. Wish you sucess. ❤
Hi girl, you are saving my life at the moment!..I stumbled upon your channel, during the most deepest, darkest moments of my life. And I just want to thank you for your subtle encouragement and inspiration you are giving me with these videos. I love to journal too and already do some of same things you do as you write. The trueness and authenticity of your videos have just helped me alot. Your heart definitely reaches out to mine so thank you so much. Life is beautiful. Keep doing what you do, because you are making a difference in others. God bless and take care.
When she said write a letter forgiving that person, I was like ¨no way, im mad at that person¨ and when she said exactly what I was thinking I knew I had to write a letter. And just the thought of writing a letter to the person I'm mad has just made me started crying, and write know I'm crying, and Im gonna write a letter later on. Just wanted to put that out there.
honestly, everytime i am stressed or upset or just done with life, i watch one of your videos and i just forget all about the past. you ard great. please dk a video on how to control emotions. thankzzz
I use the voice recorder apps also. Journals are brain and heart dumps, and please use the voice recorder app, videos and legal paper, wired notebooks. Just date the day of the week also, for each day gives you different feelings. Record some of your written journals and mix up the years, so use both sides of the paper.
I’ve been journaling since I was 9-10 cuz I got inspired by that children’s book “Amelia’s diary” I think it was or something like that. Nd I am now 27 and lemme Tell you, I have been able to release hidden subconscious emotions that were causing me not only pain in my life without knowing it but physical pains in my body... journaling is true self healing.
Omg I'm so thankful I saw your video.. I've learned so much on you and definitely I'm going to do what you've said specially the letter of forgiveness or message to people
i've broke up with my first boyfriend this weekend and to distract me from my thoughts i've been watching your videos (the other day i watched the one 'how to fall asleep fast' and i made that apple cider infusion to avoid my thoughts, worked perfectly THANKS) but the other day i went to the psycologist and she told me exactly the same phrase "thoughts become things" and that i shouldn't avoid my thoughts about the situation... in fact she told me that if i ever feel the need to send him a message, i should write it instead on a paper... thanks so much for this tips because i'm sure they will help me to overcome this stage in my life
hoh dude :( you really deserve more than 10 million subscribe ..... i really fall in love with your vids , actually i discovered your channel two days ago and i already watched all your videos .... love you , keep going , hala from saudi arabia
If i would see you I would cry and thank you so much your videos have helped! You really have! Being a teen is hard, but you make it a little more easier.
I've seen your channel recently, but I really love your videos, your emotions and thoughts. And I want to say thank you very much because your videos are good not only for getting new information but for learning english. Your pronunciation is soo clear. I love you

The letter of forgiveness is for sure a good method. Writing letters that you do send might be a great idea as well. I remember being around 15 years old and not knowing how to express myself to my parents, I just wrote a letter. As you said, it was so emotional I basically cried the whole time I was writing. Had I started an actual conversation, I would never be able to say what I wanted to. A letter also guarantees that your words will be listened to the very end, without anyone trying to interrupt.
YES so true. Went through the same things in my life, so I totally relate.
Yah many pass through
Great Video on a topic close to my heart!!! Guess what? I'm a 57 yr old man and been journaling since 1977. YES!!! I have many volumes just like you. I was checking youtube journaling videos because Im gonna do a How To Journal workshop at my church in Vacaville. So many other things to mention too. My journals are ALWAYS written to God.
Peace! T. Kingi
mines too are written to God!
Wow that's good. I always have problem with praying. I dont know how to pray, how to talk to God. I always feel praying is like memorizing words, and saying words to air. I am very new on journaling, and I think it's a wonderful idea about writing to God. Thank you
What do u think bout area 51? Are aliens real?
@@nandini0110 why do you ask?
What a great idea!! Giving God the gratitude💖💖💖💖💖💖
I know that writing down my thoughts and emotions is very beneficial. I'm just not comfortable with the possibility that someone might read it. It's not that I have bad secrets or sth I'm just so private. Anyone feels the same?
you can keep a secret password-protected blog (ie: tumblr) or a hidden doc on your computer. it's okay to keep your writing private :)
Hi! I'm a little late but maybe you still read the comments. I had the same problem and decided to stop writing because of that. But then I realised that I spoke several languages so I thought that writing in a foreign language in a journal would allow me to write anything I want without the risk of having someone from my family reading it. Plus, it helps you extend your vocabulary because you have to look some words up. Thought it might help ;)
There was a period in my life where I also thought the same, and because of that, I never did a journal about what happened in my day, or things that I wanted to remember because, as Lavendaire said, I have really bad memory regarding my memories. Had I not thought that way, I wouldn't have to cope now with the feelings of regret of not having done so, so if you are in any similar way like I was back then, do it please. Also, as she said, you can be careful enough, you can have a doc in the computer wich is both invisible and locked, just make sure you remember the password.
Yaaas same but after watching this video I decided to journal, I think you should just make it seem like an ordinary notebook and don't be so extra I think no one will know
yep same lmaoo i just hide it. like on the shelf in my closet, under my matress or in my school bag where it just looks like a book for school
1) morning pages🤗

I remember my petty dad took my journal and started reading it and I was like, “DAD!!” and he was like, “It’s not private if it’s in my house.” and I was so mad because there were things I never wanted anyone to read in it.. I live with my mom now and I asked her not to read my journals and she said, “Okay. I won’t. But if there is something you want to read to me out of them sometime I’ll listen!” she was very nice about it :)
I m glad that u r in a better place now🌼
I just tried your method of writing a letter to someone just after watching your video , I’m so grateful that i watched it today and tried just after watching your video , while writing the letter I found myself being so honest and transparent that I wasn’t with anyone . It made me so happy that the person with whom I can be transparent is myself only , I realised that you need nobody to talk with if you are just honest and transparent enough with yourself . With this not only I have got a friend ( that’s myself) with whom i can share anything I can also find what my weaknesses are and how can I overcome them . Thank you so much for the lovely video . Wishing you luck all the way from India .❤️ You have no idea how much your videos maybe helping people with their problems. Sending you all the love.❤️
The thing about forgiveness is it isn't about saying what was said or what happened was OK. It is about saying, I am not going to take up any more of my time thinking about this issue. It isn't OK, but it is over and done. It isn't going to change what happened, so now it is time to forgive and move on. Don't forget to forgive yourself as well.
So true. No need to destroy your present by dwelling on your past.
True ive been having a hard tine forgiving a narc mother but i know i just need to forgive for myself and let her go with love
I needed this!
its at 222 likes!
Can you explanin, what am i supposed to forgive myself if another person did a mistake?

Lavendaire you helped me so much with this video thanks
Yaa!!! Happy journaling😃
I think to journalise your thought & emotions is very knowing about your self.....
That's really!! Amazing idea! For knowing right direction of my own imagination possibilities and more vision clearity about life🎑🍁
Thanks !! For sharing every possible ways of making clear vision about every corners of life🍹
Ur so pretty
“No rules in journaling”
I needed that 💖🌸✨🌱
I just got so excited for this video. I grabbed my coffee, rolled out my yoga mat, got into my sweats and hoped it wouldn't end. Basically, I can always take away a message of inspiration from your videos. Infinite love and gratitude for all that you do!
awww haha i can totally imagine that. thanks so much for being here 💓
aahhhhh! makes my day when you make a journaling video
...or any video, in my case :) She is totally on my top 5 favorite TH-camrs
😘😘
Love the idea of writing letters. I'll give it a try. ''Forgiveness doesn't make them right, it makes you free'' but sometimes the pain just too deep andletting it all out might just be what I need
I love that quote that you wrote, it's so true, yet it is so difficult to 100% let go of your feelings towards a situation/person that made you feel incredibly hurt.
these are some notes I made while watching the video, hope it helps!
Journal in the morning atleast 3 pages which is stream of consciousness just let your thoughts flow. And next in the evening when you go to bed just get your thoughts out. When you feel lost, emotionally stirred up, journal as well. Start with "how do I feel at the moment?" Just asses your mind, assessing life, evaluation what you're going thru, and envision what you want in the future. Also journal things you're grateful for. Be authentic and honest dont filter anything. Always shine positivity after facing negativity, so after writing negative thoughts, write what's brighter coming thru the negative situation, and what you're always grateful for. You can write the letter to someone. If you ever have a grudge for someone, write a letter to someone and forgive them. Keep love and light at the centre of everything. Forgiveness is the key. A letter of forgiveness. Organize your thoughts visually. Plan career goals songs to write branding business ideas creativity everything that you wanna do and plan physically write down graph bullet point diagram. Try mindmapping. Can use scrap book for your journal. Like pasting tickets for a concert mementos a letter just captures your memories. Document digitally thru day one also upload photos you took that day.
do you ever worry about someone finding them and reading them? or that if you were to pass away that someone would come across them and read them? (I do hope that you do live a very long, pleasant life, tho). It seems like there's a lot of personal stuff (thoughts emotions letter ) in these journals - and so that is why I ask
Tagr R. OMG I just commented that. I agree with you I so worry about that so I don't regularly write.
i don't care that much actually haha! especially if I were dead... I don't think I would care at all. It's me and I embrace it. Emotions are just emotions, I don't take it so personally. Everyone has them.
I actually do that :) I am always writing on my mother tongue, so people at the Uni or at my work won't be able to read it and at home I don't really care, because I live with my boyfriend and I feel comfortable with him reading my journal, altho he never does and he really respect my privat area, but most of the time I will talk with him about something and not write it down. It's good to have your 'safe person' :) I also do that thing with another language with my planer and to do to lists, because I just don't want people to know every little thing i am working on :)
this sounds kind of brutal but when ur dead... ur dead so who cares
Tagr R. Option A: keep it locked up. Option B: write it in a foreign language (great if You live abroad or intend to practice Said language) ir a selfmade cider.
I absolutely love your hair, your attitude, your journals, everything 💖 This video is pure gold tbh
aww love you 💞
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been searching video of journaling for hours this afternoon. Every video about journal on TH-cam that I have watched just stressed me out, that there’s a pressure of how your journal should look like. Like I have to journal in certain way and faking it to be a very perfect colourful or creative journal. But your journals just made me feel so relief that make me feel like I’m okay with what every way I do my journal and make me feel ok to be honest!
"Your thoughts become things." That is so true. Sometimes I would write down in my journal, "Oh this person must be doing this because he or she is that." And later I started to believe my own thoughts that were first written only as assumptions or speculations. Maybe I was right sometimes, but even when I was wrong, I had a hard time getting out of my own head and thoughts.
I think I am going to take your practice and think of a positive side of the situation at the end of my negative thoughts.
Thank you so much Aileen. I have been binge watching your videos in the past few days and I've learned so much from you. You radiate so much positive energy and that's what I need in my life right now.
I'm pretty sure you heard this a lot but I wanted to let you know anyone.
You'r actually changing my life.... you'r videos are the reason why I'm now productive and confident while enjoying my life as 16 year old teenager. I'm so glad that I found this channel. Everytime I need motivation , you'r videos are my one and only choice.
Thank you.
write a unsend-letter to someone is really a good idea to express and spill out our feelings about them without make them hurts. and i really love your idea about it, that such a good option instead share our feelings to anyone else which only be gossips. Thank you Aileen....keep up and inspiring people!
I love journaling, it’s so calming and you can get everything off your chest and you feel so good when your done. If you haven’t been journaling then you should DEFINITELY journal. You can do it when ever but I like to do it at night because I can sleep better just like she said. One thing I would recommend is to write the date, also don’t worry about writing neat because it’s kind of stressing if you want to write down so much things about your day and life. So yeah don’t write extremely neat if you don’t want to. Also nothing is forced upon you, it’s not like you will have to show anybody. If you want it for yourself and for yourself only then keep it that way! Be super honest in it. If something happened and you have bad blood between Someone be honest about if you did anything wrong. Once you find out if you did anything wrong then learn from that experience, forget about the fights and move on to the next chapter of your life! It’s really important to always move forward and try to become the best you that you can possibly become. You should also think to yourself if you are doing anything in life that you would like to change, that can especially be helpful. So yeah those were some tips on journaling. Remember, have fun!
You said once that bullet journal wasnt your thing. But I must say - you creating lists, mindmaps and so on in one journal is basically what bullet journal is about ! I was always that person who created many notes and lists everywhere - and was never able to find them later. So I'm a big fan of having such notebook on my desk :) Love you and your channel!
I love that you allow yourself to be authentic but then end with asking yourself shifting questions, like what is the brighter side? that's so powerful!
I'm gonna start doing morning pages because "flow" is something I definitely need to work with. I censor my writing way too much.
Me too. I try to stop it but my brain automatically does it.
What I love about your journals is that they're not so strictly edited and visually put together. YOu're just writing in them and they're a bit messy and I'm happy to see someone who is so relaxed when it comes to journaling. All the other videos I watchd on journaling and journal prompts always had 10+ different pens and stickers and washy tapes and created these beautiful artistic notebooks and I want to have that too but I don't have the time or energy or creative impulse to do the same.
The way you talk is so amazing you don’t say like or and a lot and it’s really nice to hear someone who doesn’t constantly stutter
I Completely agree with you, my soul is always more free when I journal about my problems or vision or when I'm burned/tired. And always end up with positive thoughts.
All great advice some of which i practice or have practiced in the past.
When I started working from home FT (2.5 years ago) I started organizing my day using an Agenda (prior to that I used to do list). It worked out so great I started including personal/life items into my Agenda. That worked out brilliantly. Now I use an Agenda to organize my life. What I mean by that is it's no longer limited to my professional day or personal list it's all combined to include habit trackers, to do list, professional meetings, personal appointments, monthly/quarterly/yearly work & personal goals, chores, bills, budgets EVERYTHING. lol Needless to say it's grown but it really works. This year i've added a dot grid journal. It's made an incredible difference. I use it as a personal & professinal brain dump it's filled with thoughts, ideas, brain storming, bullet lists, mind maps, research notes related to a problem/goal i'm working on just everything & it's helped me keep my thoughts organized. It works like a download or hard drive for my brain & I do it as the need arrises. It prevents me from feeling overwhelmed by my thoughts, an idea, project, or task etc. I'd recommend everyone try it.
I've also practiced the write a letter method you spoke on. I don't religiously use it but anytime i'm feeling a particular way about my significant other (usually @ a cross roads). I've written a letter to them about my their actions, circumstances, &/or my feelings towards a particular event then i keep it around for a limited amount of time re-read it & marinate on my feelings, what options i have, & make a decision in the name of self interest aka my happiness. It's helped me organize my thoughts, feelings & prioritize/make an action plan.
I'm going to try that 30 question pdf. Thanks for filming this. I subbed.
Spanish & Vietnamese subtitles are available! Click "CC" and check the video settings. Thank you to the contributors listed in the description 💕
thank you for using subtitles in your video's I can't hear properly so it's nice when people use subtitles, you may not think it's much however to people who can't hear it means a lot to us I find so many youtubers including medical professionals who don't include subtitles in their videos, I also want to start journalling I think it would help me with my mental health as well as brain injuries, I have long term and short term memory loss which means I have missing memories from years ago (prior to my injury) and I lose memories since my injury so I sort of regret not having started sooner, but new year new me sort of, well suppose new year new habits
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the prompts. Every time I've started to journal, I've found myself looking at a blank screen or paper. Been told for years journaling is a good way to release things or figure your inner thoughts, but I've never felt like I'd have anything interesting to say. "Today I.. hung out with my dogs, ate a baked potato, and cleaned the house." Stuff like that. Like you need to be interesting and have an exciting life to journal. Thank you again for all your time and energy helping us!
So there was, just thinking of
ways to come out of myself while trying to convey my thoughts effectively
though the fading art of writing. I searched online for some valuable insight,
just trying to see what I find and possibly learn something new. Mind you,
there is a lot of information out there jeez! Well anyways then I stumbled across
you on TH-cam discussing - how to journal-. I must admit you offered some great
points and your presentation was very well articulated. Your words are actually
immensely intriguing, and I can sense a strong genuineness in them. There is so
much passion in the way you speak; it complements such a fond face.
I am far from home, and I am a soldier
deployed who has plenty of time to contemplate and write. I have started journaling a few months for the
first time to see where it would take me. I am not new to transferring what’s
on my mind and expressing myself, but this truly helped. Let me stop there,
thank you I enjoyed listening to you.
ive journal on and off since i was 8 yrs/old. but it wasnt until 18months ago that everything shifted and journaling has been my life saver. since i have wrote 4 journals. i write 5-10 times a day. something for 5 minutes and others for hours. my life is so complete and i couldnt even imgine going back.
ive never been ashamed or worry what others think but sometimes i write the tinest and at the time i think the most unimporant things.
this video really confrimed I'm not crazy and journal is something im never going to give up.
have a beauitful day xxxx
I am watching your video for the first time and I love how you mentioned writing a letter of forgiveness to someone. That's something I plan to start doing from now on, only my journaling method is different from an average everyday diary journal that most people think about. I have several average journaling entries in my journal/diary thing, but the past few entries, I've changed how I wrote them out. I took my journal in a new direction and turned it into a prayer journal. I can't remember where I even got the idea the other day to look up "prayer journal" online, but I did it and even though I just started today, I am so grateful that I did it because I feel like this will be something positive for me. I have to work on the forgiveness thing, so I may start doing that in a similar way even though my journal is a prayer journal. I'm going to focus on the forgiveness letters that you've mentioned - I may start writing a letter or two a week in that style because I think that will help me tremendously. My father passed away on April 12, 2018 so I'm going through a lot right now even though the immediate shock and disbelief and the painful storm of emotions has died down, I still have to work on forgiveness, and I feel like it's an ongoing process, so thank you for mentioning that "forgiveness letters" idea in your video.
You and muchelleb are like room goals! I love the "clean and minimal look"
CrumbleCrumbs I totally agree! They've totally mastered the productivity/minimal aesthetic!
This has been my favourite channel lately
Used to journal all the time before but haven't done so in years! This video is a great hint from the universe that I should begin again. Thanks Aileen for being so inspirational.
@lavendaire, I honestly really appreciate this video, because most of the journaling one sees on social media is journaling which is always made to be aesthetically pleasing, which makes it very daunting when all you really want to do is compartmentalise and work through things, and with the journals you showed the focus isn't on keeping pretty themes or that sort of thing, it's just raw and for a long time it felt like if one isn't journaling in an aesthetically pleasing way, then it's not "good" journaling. So thank you for showing us your journals and helping to dispute that idea.
She's so positive she makes me feel better and gives me hope that i can still explain my self by writing a letter when no one wants to listen....😭😭😭😭😭😭I just let out the pain by doing that
I use to do this but then i stop. Watching your video makes me want to continue journaling. Thank you for inspiring me to write again.
I have to say, you are right now one of my favorite youtubers! Thank you Aileen for always delivering the best of your self, your efforts definitely do no go unnoticed. I would also like to add that as a licensed counselor, your channel speaks to me not only on a personal level but also on a professional one. Your tips on positivity, mindfulness, self care and journaling are all things that I like to promote when I work with clients. Seeing videos like these really help to normalize these strategies in a relatable and fun way for viewers. Best believe I will share some of these journaling prompts for future clients (even myself, they're awesome!) Oh, and another letter that can also very deep is a goodbye letter (to anyone or anything) to help people move on from people, habits, or loss. It is a really powerful exercise that I recommend anyone to try!
Ilianna, this means so much!! I'm so thrilled to hear this :) And great tip too!
Love how you really embrace your emotions (: lots of people don’t have that positive mind set!
I've been journaling every day since October 1sr 2016 and I've got so many benefits from it, it has changed my life and it's definitely become a habit of mine. I'd spend between 30 to 45 minutes a day to reflect on my day, to write about what I've learned and heard, to try to make sense out of my emotions and feelings. I really encourage everyone to start journaling daily or at least 3 or 4 times a week ! It's life changing !! I've grown a lot, learned so much about myself and discovered what my true values and beliefs are !
that's amazing, Laura 💕 I agree that writing daily can be life-changing!
Thanks for explaining how to journal ive done this for three days now and i feel a lot more calm in my head. This is a life changer for me.
I really admire you for this. I don't really like delving into emotions and I think that anyone who does is pretty strong.
this channel is the most simple and calming channel I have ever seen....I appreciate it a lot
Quick question: Do you ever read what you write?
I journal daily but I don’t really read it! I do it just to empty my head. I want to review it and took out the lessons and see how I am changed.
Black Screen Education I do
+Ghada Xxl
Thats great share what you do if you don't mind 😊
Black Screen Education
I rely on making the page which I write attractive to look at . I carry the notebook which I write on it wherever I go , I read it a little when I feel bored and I have no mood to write, l also like comparing my writing to others as a kind of understanding of the differences between people’s ideas and different styles.
“ I am not good in English “
+Ghada Xxl
Your english is good. Thats interesting way you have. I do my journaling before bed and I want it to be as quick as possible.. I thought to dedicate time each week and review the whole week and write summary or something but I kinda always skip that :/
You draw somethig to make it attractive or what?
Black Screen Education not really , just some small pictures and I puts photos from magazines.
I have been journaling for the past 3 years of my life, and I believe this is what truly changed my life 🌟I hope everyone could understand the power of journaling and practice it daily. Everyone deserves to live their dream life 😌🙏
exactly! ♡
I love the way you see life and I love how you wish to spread this lifestyle to others as well. I think it's really important that people take time in the day for self-reflection because with technology and social media, we don't get the opportunity to be focused on ourselves since we're so focused on others.
i agree, self reflection is so helpful! hope you continue to spread the light in your life too ✨
is it me but I always have so many thoughts but I'm also 33 and lived a life so I have a lot to say. I also started implementing morning pages because of you. Just found your page so I get the luxury of binging. beautiful hair, voice, everything.
You are honestly my favorite youtuber. All of your content is so lovely and inspiring. I truly love the message you spread to the world!
Watching this video had me nodding at every point. I've had a long vacation from journaling and am trying to get back on track. And you're right, sometimes we just have a lot of going on in our minds and need to get it out. Thanks for sharing this! :)
I've never really tried journaling. I'm really open to the idea especially after this video and think that im going to start doing it. I feel like it will be very beneficial for keeping yourself in a good mindset. Thank you for opening up to us about your experience !
It was one of the things that transformed my life. I now do it everyday
Your honesty and integrity make your channel very easy and enjoyable to watch. Glad I found you!
+Dylan Tierney thank you so much! That's so sweet.
My favorite channel! A great way to start the morning!
💕💕
I'm so happy I found your channel! Been watching your videos all morning and you're just so positive and full of light and I love it! Love hearing your thoughts of journaling since I recently started journaling again so it's great to have different tips and guidance on how to write more and also how to include all the positive things that is going on in life, even though some days you have to seek more to find them! Keep doing what your doing, have a great day and week ⭐️🌸
thank you!! have a beautiful week
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me get better at journaling, I used to think diarys or journals were about writing down crushes and stuff like that.And I love that your really positive and forgiving.Witch is very sweet.
Forgiveness is SO important!!! The letter concept sounds awesome:) I'll definitely try it!
The whole morning, three pages of just writing without analyzing what you write sounds like so much fun. I'm going to try this out sometime, but not this month I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo. (Even though I didn't officially sign up)! :D Thanks for the awesome video and wonderful journalling tips/ideas. :D
Mysteries of Writing it's so good, went to dollar tree and bought a book and it is amazing
Great video! I have been journalist a lot when I was a teenager but I stopped before I turned 20. Now it has been a few years with some attempts to journal but I didn't keep it up for more than one or two days. When I saw your video about your journals, I decided it would be time to start journaling again. Yesterday I finally started and now I'm trying to be consistent about it. It puts me in a great mood to take some time for myself in the morning and write something just for myself :)
Thank you ! Just thank you I don't wish you blessings cause I know you just attract them to your life with this wonderful lifestyle and way of thinking !
Thank you for this! I've been hesitant and resistant to journalling, but I want to try now!! xx
yes!! you have nothing to lose :)
i love your voice, its help me feel calm because i don't like to talk but its fun to hear others talk
In a world full of amazingly decorated daily journal ideas, here is what I found in your channel - Simplicity at its best!!!
I don't even have a count of how many pages I've written so far in my life, because that's my life and writing is profession... however, this whole journaling concept is so apt, yet I kind of felt a pressure to have a perfect one for myself. Well.. you have an answer to it! I don't need my journal to look beautiful, or decorative... it's just have to reflect ME!
Thanks for making this video.. I don't feel lost anymore :-D
The way you journal is so meaningful! I like your emphasis on honesty and positivity :)
That is so true
I have been trying to journal but it never really clicked. This video helped me get a start on journaling and the meaning behind it. I just want to say thank you so much :)
I love you so much. I really needed your videos at this moment in my life. I am from Turkey, and you should know you are inspiring so many people around the world, and I am appreciative. Thank you so much.
özge pure cool! I’m Turkish but I live in the us 💘 😂
DancersWithTalent im turkish too ! wanna be friends ?

Loving the 30 questions!! Very intense in a good way.. My answers change some days.
One cool thing about stream of consciousness writing is that it creates topics and prompts for fiction writing.
Definitely please do more prompts! I’m doing it too and getting a big response from all the platforms combined.
wow this really opened my eyes to how journaling can help me! thank you!
Idont have word to describe how much thankful iam for finding your channel
OHH! I read a book a while back that's called "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" and the main character writes these letters and puts them in a box, and one day they got sent lol so when you mentioned the letters, I remembered that, maybe you should read the trilogy!
they made a movie!!!!
They made a movie on Netflix omg it’s soooooo good
Jess and there’s something wrong with that?
Jess they were just following the actual book🙄
l love that movie

I love your hair it’s beautiful...and btw I’m a new subscriber
im doing it yay!!!
Lavendaire. Nice Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about - Mackorny Clean Skin Blueprint (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for eliminating your limiting beliefs minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
I went to this link and none of the resources (PDF's) worked when I clicked them. I got error, page not displayed, not sure why they weren't working
The course video links don't work anymore...
I really like the list, because it focuses on moving forward and improving your life. It´s positive, but in a constructive way.
I really love how the writing doesn’t have to look neat and ‘perfect’, it’s beautiful 💞
just watched your video now and it helped me a lot and inspired me to write something in my journal.. especially the 'write a letter' to someone and writing when I feel lost. Thank you!!❣️
journaling takes me back to when my teacher in high school teacher would make us write for 30 minutes but there was never an explanation as to why we were doing so. Thanks for all your ideas!
We have so many of the same journaling habits! Yay! I've probably been journaling and automatic writing since I was 10. It's so cathartic and healing. Love seeing this described so simply and beautifully.
This was a great video, inspired me on my writing journey. I really like the idea of writing a letter to someone to help you express any emotions whether they are good or bad about that person. I'm definitely going to start doing that
❤️❤️
I literally started journaling yesterday and im finding so many things about myself! Thank you :)
I'm from Algeria I want to thank you about all those precious advice Aileen
I seriously love her hair, its beautiful!
And love her videos too, such a sweetie
Your way of explaining ideas is super convincing. Thankyou for making a difference in my life. Because of YOU i started writing more frequently esp the forgiveness letters and scrapbooking journal. Idk about others but you definitely made a lilttle impact in my life. Wish you sucess. ❤
Thank you so much for your video blog. I am learning English with your channel. You have incredible charm and good pronunciation
^_^
valentine063 you have great grammar too!
Hi girl, you are saving my life at the moment!..I stumbled upon your channel, during the most deepest, darkest moments of my life. And I just want to thank you for your subtle encouragement and inspiration you are giving me with these videos. I love to journal too and already do some of same things you do as you write. The trueness and authenticity of your videos have just helped me alot. Your heart definitely reaches out to mine so thank you so much. Life is beautiful. Keep doing what you do, because you are making a difference in others. God bless and take care.
When she said write a letter forgiving that person, I was like ¨no way, im mad at that person¨ and when she said exactly what I was thinking I knew I had to write a letter. And just the thought of writing a letter to the person I'm mad has just made me started crying, and write know I'm crying, and Im gonna write a letter later on. Just wanted to put that out there.
and right now**
honestly, everytime i am stressed or upset or just done with life, i watch one of your videos and i just forget all about the past. you ard great. please dk a video on how to control emotions. thankzzz
I love your morning pages system. Totally need to try it. :)
this was simply put, yet very helpful! Thank you.
thanks!
I have recently started journeling all because of you!!! you are such an insperation and i love you sooo much;)
I use the voice recorder apps also.
Journals are brain and heart dumps, and please use the voice recorder app, videos and legal paper, wired notebooks. Just date the day of the week also, for each day gives you different feelings. Record some of your written journals and mix up the years, so use both sides of the paper.
I’ve been journaling since I was 9-10 cuz I got inspired by that children’s book “Amelia’s diary” I think it was or something like that. Nd I am now 27 and lemme Tell you, I have been able to release hidden subconscious emotions that were causing me not only pain in my life without knowing it but physical pains in my body... journaling is true self healing.
Omg I'm so thankful I saw your video.. I've learned so much on you and definitely I'm going to do what you've said specially the letter of forgiveness or message to people
I love journaling! It's one of the ways that helped me discover my true self. Love your video! :)
i've broke up with my first boyfriend this weekend and to distract me from my thoughts i've been watching your videos (the other day i watched the one 'how to fall asleep fast' and i made that apple cider infusion to avoid my thoughts, worked perfectly THANKS) but the other day i went to the psycologist and she told me exactly the same phrase "thoughts become things" and that i shouldn't avoid my thoughts about the situation... in fact she told me that if i ever feel the need to send him a message, i should write it instead on a paper... thanks so much for this tips because i'm sure they will help me to overcome this stage in my life
i'm so glad my tips could help you! yes it will take time but write out your thoughts and see where they take you
Love your clear & calm voice!
hoh dude :( you really deserve more than 10 million subscribe ..... i really fall in love with your vids , actually i discovered your channel two days ago and i already watched all your videos .... love you , keep going , hala from saudi arabia
If i would see you I would cry and thank you so much your videos have helped! You really have! Being a teen is hard, but you make it a little more easier.
I've seen your channel recently, but I really love your videos, your emotions and thoughts.
And I want to say thank you very much because your videos are good not only for getting new information but for learning english. Your pronunciation is soo clear. I love you
