Check the description for the names of books and more sentimental Lou Sullivan’s diaries thoughts! I don’t think I could ever accurately write or talk about how much that book means to me but I gave it a go😌
Not cursed! This was a delight! I appreciated learning about your process, and am greatly impressed that you can actually fill out the Weekly section of the Cousin.Thanks for the book recommendations, and thanks in general for making videos!
I'm so glad I found you. Inspiring and refreshing. I love your expression 'using paper to think'. Is it a quote or your own? Whatever, I am going to borrow it as your 2 videos have made me realise I NEED to start a journal for this purpose. My daily planner and reading journals are too constrained. Thank you for brightening my day.
@@dawnjones8341 thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! The book is called ‘thinking on paper’ so I probably just reworded the title slightly by saying ‘using paper to think’. It’s such a good watch to look at a notebook! I hope it helps you, I’ve been using one attached to my hobonichi cousin which I call the ‘appendix’ where I chuck all my thoughts and it works well for me😆
congrats on surviving the 2nd video 😂i didn't think it was a car crash at all! i loved the look at your pages. i saw those numbered book spine stickers on stickii & thought they were really neat, but couldn't think of anything i'd use them for /facepalm. they work so well in your planner! thanks for the book recs as well, i will def be looking up the lou sullivan book, that sounds so interesting. the roland allen book sounds amazing as well, just the table of contents made me want to read it. i love reading diaries, but now that i'm trying to think of some, of course my mind is blank 😭 i do love kurt cobain's journals, they're so cool to look through, so textured & tactile-looking (if that makes sense). i love edvard munch's writings as well - they're not strictly diaries, but still cool from a journaling perspective. there are scans and some english translations at emunch.no and there's a gorgeous book by poul erik tøjner called "munch in his own words". idk if you're a munch fan (he's one of my special interests hehe), but he often wrote about the same scenes he returned to in his paintings, so it's really cool to read alongside looking at his art. a diary i read & found very fascinating when i was 19, was the diary of vaslav nijinsky & i'm thinking of picking it up again soon to see what i make of it now. there is a good introduction to it on theexaminedlife.org, it's also the kind of read that is best to research beforehand. 💜
@@tiny-yaga AH THIS IS INCREDIBLE Thank you so much!! This video was a struggle to film so I appreciate that😂 will definitely be looking into Kurt Cobain’s diaries (textured and tactile are two of my favourite things for a book to be!) and Edvard Munch’s sound amazing - just looked them up and I’m in love with the combination of his sketches and writing😱 how cool that he’s your special interest! Books of both of their diaries might be things I have to find for my Christmas list😆🫶
@@adrislogs ah thank you so much🥰 so glad I could be of inspiration, I love watching your videos and seeing your notebooks, can’t wait to see what you do in the cousin!
Thank you for sharing these book recommendations! I’m so happy to have found your channel. I don’t have instagram, so I might not have had the pleasure of discovering you otherwise. Your Cousin is what I wish mine could look like (alas, mine is much more functional, and while important, is not very inspiring or chock full of memories and meaning musings). Maybe someday! 🥲 Thank you for making these videos!
@@LittleCocoStudio I find it amazing that you found me through TH-cam first! Glad you enjoyed this🥰 ‘memories and meaning musings’ is such a cool phrase and it’s so nice that you think of my book that way! Functional is just as good, but also in my experience once you start writing down memories and other information it’s hard to stop😆
I am so glad I found your channel! Love your process and way you share. Have added all four books you recommended to my TBR list. I figure I owe you at least one in return. Have you seen Lynda Barry’s book Syllabus? It’s more a graphic novel/comic style of illustration that she’s famous for - but I am absolutely fascinated by her explorations, comments, and teaching style. Highly recommend. Look forward to more of your vids.
@@moxiejournal thank you so much, I’m glad you found me! I haven’t heard of Syllabus, but I just looked it up and I immediately know I’ll love it😂 the cover alone is gorgeous and the pages look so detailed. Thank you for the recommendation!
It's so interesting to me how you use a planner to journal. I use the Bullet Journal method to plan, and I journal in it as well, but have a separate book for longer writing. I found The Notebook on my library app. I'm checking that out now.
@@susinok I love having everything in one book! That’s nice that you journal in your bullet journal too, I also have a separate book for anything that doesn’t fit in this book. Hope you enjoy The Notebook! I’m planning to read it this december
I like hands too for that same reason, so I buy/keep stickers of hands... but my problem is I often forget to use them! Inspired by you, I will add "hands" to my list of journal theme ideas for 2025!
Great video. Really interested in reading the Lou Sullivan book! Your description was very sweet and I love learning about queer activism so I’m gonna have to pick it up soon!
@@Kazma6 thank you so much! Ah I’m so glad it piqued your interest, I was so worried about doing my description of it justice😂 I hope you enjoy it if you do read it!

Yay! Another video! The speed in which I clicked on this as soon as I came home from work. Stoked, thank you!
@@okjonty haha that’s amazing, thank you for watching🥰 glad you can get excited about them, I get equally excited to upload them!
Yay! Love this! Your pages are so inspiring. Next year I will be using an A5 after a long time, so your pages are an amazing source of inspiration 💕

@@femkedemoor5276 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I do have lots of enthusiasm for journaling😆 can’t wait to keep making videos!
I think your december page is one of my favorite spreads ever , it's so cute!
@@1annalise oh I’m so glad😊 I’ve warmed up to it since I filmed this, it’s funny how our opinions about pages can change!
I am currently reading The Notebook by Roland Allen, and if you love journals, sketchbooks, and the history of thought, it is so, so, so good! ❤
@@Mauveink that’s good to know! I saw it and immediately knew I was going to love it. Glad you’re enjoying it!
YESSS GEORGIA ANOTHER BANGER ❤

I have a pair of “hand” earrings.

I’ve been eyeing the Roland Allen book for months!! Would love an update on it once you read it ❤❤
@@teddybearsticker I can do that! I’m so excited about it😆
I also love diaries as a historical source, currently very much into those of prisoners of war and related ;)
@@SaMiNaNaa that’s interesting! And very true, diaries can be some of the most accurate snapshots of a time, place and person☺️
You are being harsh! Beautiful pages!
@@Tammilea thank you! I like them a lot more now than I did when I filmed this😆
