I know you said not to dwell on the negative but the most important (and secret, my son has orders to burn it if something happens to me) is my B*itch journal. I grew up in an alcoholic family and after attending a women's workshop that was very intimate and private, several of the women commented that I seemed very angry. So now whenever I get really upset over something out comes Miz B and I lay it all out, bad words and all. I can get totally ridiculous and be wrong on my opinion (in hindsight and that is the key, I can now see that in myself) but it releases that valve and I can then let it go and not take it out on my husband or something else. It has been the best thing I have ever done and after two years of her I find I use her less and less as I grow into myself and leave all the abandonment issues and anger behind. Thanks for reading. Love this topic.
I've burnt many journals and documents/anecdotal evidence due to domestic violence..I had carried them around with me for 19 years. I can tell you....watching it burn...over 2 hours...a complete ending of that part of my life....was over. 👏🥰🔥
Christine thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️ we love growth and healing! I’m glad this has helped you and actually thanks for this idea! I’ve done kinda the same concept with single pages but I find that it kinda get in the way because I refuse to go BACK into and look at them again. Cuz obviously they put me in a bad mood. Maybe having it’s own journal could be good for me ❤️ THANK YOU
I have what I call my Dr Martha, she is like the mentor but one who has helped process the deep hurts with postitvity in my art, writings and journaling. She can appear in many of my journals by starting with a silly drawing, then naming the drawings and writing about it. Most of them are silly monsters, it started about 3 years ago when I was going through a very deep dark place in my life and a way for me to not stay in the dark place is to bring light starting with a silly drawing🤗
I think your idea to categorize your journals is definitely a GOOD idea!!! I always felt one journal is enough but after watching this it makes sense to me to have more than one! Like you said, every journal has a use or focus and separating their purpose can definitely be useful for whatever mind set you are in. If your feeling creative then the art journal is the best one to use. Thank you for being so specific on the different type of journal “friends”! =)
This was great, in fact, u helped me to realise something, that I was slowly getting use to. The idea of having several journals for different purposes, it's totally my thing
I have my personal journal called 'my inner self' it can be weird to call my journal as that ...it is becuz I consider that as my own inner self which I can see through my words...that makes my thoughts tangible touchable and readable..that a iam seeing myself..my healing process!!! I love it! 😘😘😘💜💜
*OMG THIS IS SUCH A CUTEEEE IDEA!* I love it. Now I don't feel guilty for making so many friends...and never finishing one chapter with one friend haha.
this is actually so smart even though I'm only in 2 journals and my second is used for 4 months but it broke so I only use it now for like emo poems and stuff too dark I don't wanna see every day in my newest journal. My first journal was definitely the art teacher but my newest journals (My broken one and my new micheals one) is my best friend all the way.
I do the same with my Jesus journal- I love to put in my prayers and worries and when He speaks to me. This was such a fun video and gave me a great perspective on how we view our journals. Great job 🙂
I’m the same way about color, font and how messy or how good my writing is. I notice when I look back I see my writing is perfect or not so. When I’ve painted I see, How I was feeling, what was trying to come through,
Hi, nice video. But what I ALWAYS wonder about is this: so many topics overlap in each journal. Not just for you, but for anyone who keeps multiple journals. For example, you might have quotes in several, art in several, etc. Are you putting the same quote in each journal containing quotes? I'm not being snarky. I just struggle to understand having a lot of notebooks going at once, because it often seems redundant. I want to understand. Also, are you aware of a number of Composition Notebook Art Journaling groups? If not, you might like them. They love to play in Comp notebooks cos they are cheap. They might glue several pages together to prevent blead through. They have lots of fun. If only I could dial back my love of reading just a little! I might be able to do the painting I also want to do!
For me, I put different things in each journal and I love reading thru each. I think it is a Gemini thing. Lol! I am a Virgo Sun with a Gemini Moon and I adore hoarding all things to do with writing. Geminis love doing multiple things and sometimes at once. And we love having multiples of things we love. I love ink so much that I actually like ink blots when pens happen to glob ink. It's fun to write a lot.
Hello Mary! Great question as I can see how it can be a little confusing. While I can't speak for everyone, the things I keep in my journal usually don't repeat themselves in other journals. For example, if I painted a particular picture in my art journal, I wouldn't then add it into my writing journal. If I wrote a detailed entry about my day in my writing journal, I wouldn't then rewrite it again in my small sketchpad or planner. If that makes sense. For me, as long as the "thing" was captured somewhere on some page, I'm satisfied. :) And no, I was not aware of Comp Facebook Groups! Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I may have to join to gain further journaling inspiration!
@@SeaweedKisses I probably shouldn't be too concerned about things ending up here or there since I do not reread my journals. But I'm OCD enough to want the organization of things flowing in a linear manner. So in a TN I can have multiple inserts for various things, and they are each linear. Actually, what I'm mostly concerned with is my writing journal. Other things can have multiples. For example, I will switch notebook sizes (TNs) when I finish an insert. I can have several art inserts, depending on size. But I just can't have various written journals. For me, some days I am not thinking deeply and just write my day. Often that leads me deeper, but not always. As long as I write, it doesn't usually matter. I'm 61, and have kept a diary/journal since I was 8-9. I don't reread but I don't throw away either.
@@TonyaB005 I've used fountain pens for journaling for about 50 years (I'm 61). I have dozens. But I'm not fond of blotches! What I don't understand are discussions about fast-drying inks. I just keep blotting paper in my notebook.
I know I'm watching 4 yrs later but would like to say, I love your idea of treating journals as friends. And different types of friends. It never occurred to me but it resonates.
My first bullet journal would be my “High School Friend.” Not perfect, maybe we’ve drifted apart as my needs changed, but I am forever grateful for her influence in my life. My Delde pencil case would be “Sidekick Friend”. Not sure I’d even try to journal without him! He holds everything I usually need. My new journal is my “Mentor Friend.” Features I haven’t really made the best use of yet, but helping me take my journaling to another level! My new travelers notebook with its low-art/high-utility inserts would be like my “Work Squad Friends.” So grateful for how useful they are while I am away from home!
Amazing this video is so different from other videos I have seen I have never thought it about that way. Calling your journal your acquaintance and friend thank you for making this video
My friend 2019 journal is the only one that understands my lack of memory and my anxious thoughts. My other friend called pocketnotes, helps me brain dump stuff for my writing. I have my planner friend that although I never keep up with it, always understand me and help me with tasks from time to time.
Writing literally helped me to save my life. It is a habit that I love and respect. I enjoyed and agreed with the fabulous way you introduced the topic. Muchísimas gracias!
interesting :) my journal life resemble my real life?! i dont have many friends and i like it that way and then i dont use lotta journals....like to keep focused to just few.
Great concept! Never thought about my planners, journals or notebooks in this way. I just really started daily journaling in my B6 Stalogy and I am finding that I really like it. I was thinking for my new setup in September to also add a side journal to help me work through somethings that are coming out of my daily journaling. Who knows it might happen sooner than that. Thanks
This channel has become my new fav YT channel. I love all your "friends" Since finding your channel I have already ordered the Expanded Moleskin and Neutragena lip gloss and will be heading to the TWSBI pens in a sec. But I love you call them your "friends" I have morphed from spiral 1/2 notebooks to now I use a clipboard and 8.5X5.5 lined paper that eventually goes into a black binder for my journaling. I became more avid in 2017 and am on my 19th (expanded) binder. I live alone so I basically talk to my paper. About EVERYTHING. There are fun things, boring mundane things, funny things, spiritual and life changing things. Things I may not want people to read, but hey when Im gone who knows what will become of these journals. But when it comes to my art journals then I am like you, I have about 4 different ones going at a time. Ok I just looked maybe 8 and a couple composition smash books. I am so glad there are people like me out there, and the fact that I can watch videos about this stuff is amazing to me. I really like this kind of content!
I love your mentor journal! I have the same moleskine and I love it so much! I can't wait for it to get big and put all my treasures in it! I call it my 'Best Friend" :)
I didn’t think I had that many journals but now I’m thinking about I guess I do😂 I don’t use all of them all the time I currently use 5 journals: 1. Thoughts/ feelings/ what I did today type of journal (this is my most used) 2. Gratitude journal 🙏🏻 3. Art/ collage journal 4. Bullet journal (of course) 5. A journal that doesn’t really have a name but it’s a composition notebook I’ve had for 5 years now that I write my favorite music in for each month 🙂 I think it’s cool to hear what journals other people use so I wanted to share too!
You have been inspiring me with journaling and creating in my journals. Thank you for all the sharing you've done with your journals. You've helped resparknmy love for journaling... Which I quit doing years ago 😢
I'm new to your channel and so glad that I stumbled upon it. This video was SO well done. I understand myself better because of watching this. I love planners, notebooks and journals. The guilt over having several at one time is over. Thank you!
Hi, Seaweed Kisses. 🙂 Wonderful video. I was wondering, what kind of journal do you think I should use as a health or "post surgery" journal? What would you recommend? I'm going to have a surgery soon, and I've been wanting to have a new journal to write about a few things like: • My days in the hospital • The meds and doses I'll be taking • Pain level in the hospital after surgery, and when I'm back home Not sure what I would name my post surgery journal, either. It may just be my "hospital" friend. And I might start another journal, where I write letters to different people (and not really send them; just to write the letters for peace of mind), like my children or my soulmate. I'm not too sure how I'd start it though, or which person to write to. 🤔 I think I might call it my "love letter" friend. Wonderful video, Michelle. 😊 Always happy to watch your journaling videos. ❤️
Hello! Hmmm, for a post surgery journal? ...I would probably use a daily planner, or the Hobonichi Cousin (something that offers a monthly and weekly spread) to help give me an overview of my healing process. The Hobonichi Cousin is nice because it was monthly pages (to perhaps write in dr. appts, prescription refills, etc). The weekly spread could be used to log the healing progress, and the daily pages could work as a daily log of feelings, thoughts, etc. Hope my suggestion helps somewhat. And wishing you a nice recovering process. 🙏🙏💕
@@SeaweedKisses It helps indeed. 🙂 I don't have a Hobonichi Cousin, but I am using a fauxbonichi. I have extra graph paper from an old composition notebook to make monthly/weekly logs, and just fold the papers in half to put in my fauxbonichi at the beginning of the month, or make tip in's. 🙂 Thank you, Michelle. 😊 I hope I have an okay recovering process, too.
Thank you so much for sharing this video, love the idea of naming your journals. I don’t feel as guilty now knowing that it’s ok to have different journals for different purposes. 💕😊
Hi !!! I wanted to write to say I have been a fan for awhile now - First through emails, then Facebook, Instagram and now You Tube! I cannot tell you how much I love" these friends"! I am going to try to have a few going at one time for the rest of this year and into the upcoming years! What a great way of thinking about our writings, artwork, journals etc. Love your style and message - Great to connect w you!
Yes... totally relatable. I have a gratitude journal..art journals of multiple sizes..my bullet journal ( which I love so much)..a composite journal too. The last one I didn't really know why I bought it but it's come in handy in detailing my daily moving report. I'm down to the last two weeks before I move so I'm detailing all my jobs I need to do, what cleaning has to be done or completed. It serves a greater purpose and tends to soothe my anxiety. 🧡🐪🚚✍️
Thanks so much for this video ! It really helps me ,I have a few TNs, journals and art sketchbooks My midori is my coffee buddy, she likes to sit in a quiet in a cafe and we have great discussions she's great because she takes notes of what I think LOL! Heather
I only recently realised that I love having different notebooks for different things too ! I think that's why bullet journaling never worked for me, too overwhelming to have everything in one place. Now I have a planner friend, a few acquaintances and co-workers (random brain dump/brainstorming journals), a best friend, a spiritual friend and an art friend ^^
I agree with you. I have an A5 Chic Sparrow Deluxe for my main brain dump, heart dump journal. It has a Clever Fox Journal in the back which I’ve made into a weekly planner. I just purchased a field note size leather TN along with 3 field notebooks and a zippered plastic card folder. Haven’t decided how to use this TN yet. 😉 AND, I also have that Amazon Weeks planner. I use Hobonichi Weeks sticker kits I find on Etsy.
This was so interesting!! I think I might do a video response for this one because I loved this so much!! :) Also do you like the exceed brand and how is the paper?
Thank you! And yes! Please do feel free to create a video response! Would love to see and watch! The Exceed is great, especially the 100gsm notebooks! I enjoy them so much so, I stocked up on them as seen in my Exceed review video..haha! I just hope Walmart doesn't stop selling them any time soon..
Me too!!! I think I'm going to try and get one this week if I can!! And I'll let you know whenever I film and post that video!! I was also wondering if you'd like to do a video and blog collaboration of some sort cause I also have a blog that goes with my channel and Instagram!! :) @@SeaweedKisses
Great video!! Today I was setting up a new journal friend. I’m going thru a health issue, nothing major, and wanted to track my healing progress along with the healing from some emotional impact. It’s not really a health journal per say, more like self care or mindfulness I think. She’s going to be a great journal friend.
I love your video's so much!! I hope when day i can meet you, cause u love journals and notebooks just as much as i do!!! You and i would be great friend's!!!🙄😚😊💗

I have one of these too because I don't want to clog my other journals with negativity. I call it Area 51. It's top secret 😊
So...I'm really not crazy for having over 25 journals and 5 planners???
Not at all! 😂💕
I consider both my journals and my books, my friends =) They're just always there when you need them...

Love your channel. Journaling is a beautiful art!
Really liked this video. Very different way of thinking. Good for you!
Ha-ha! This made me laugh! But what a great concept for many notebooks in our lives! 🙌🏼
Well thought out and thought provoking. tfs
HaHa. Just from reading your title, without listening to the video, I was just thinking the same thing.
I loved this video! It was wise past even just the journals
4:37 I absolutely love this block-colored piece
This is a great idea. I always think I’m only “allowed” to have one journal.
I love the idea of the “ friends “ in notebooks. Also someone mentioned they named theirs and I super love that and will be doing that now 😅
I want to start journaling again next year and i thought about making the Journal like Letters to my Boyfriend. Is it a good Idea or is it weird?
Thanks so much for this video ! It really helps me ,I have a few TNs, journals and art sketchbooks
My midori is my coffee buddy, she likes to sit in a quiet in a cafe and we have great discussions she's great because she takes notes of what I think LOL!

Oooh! I like that- a coffee buddy!
I have "commitment issues" too when it comes to planners...I just live them all
This video was so funny in a cute way - so totally girlie!!
Well said. Great video. Im actually starting a new notebook, which will be my “gardening” friend
Oh, I like that- a "gardening" friend! Very nice!
I loooooooved this!
I only recently realised that I love having different notebooks for different things too ! I think that's why bullet journaling never worked for me, too overwhelming to have everything in one place. Now I have a planner friend, a few acquaintances and co-workers (random brain dump/brainstorming journals), a best friend, a spiritual friend and an art friend ^^
I agree with you.
I have an A5 Chic Sparrow Deluxe for my main brain dump, heart dump journal. It has a Clever Fox Journal in the back which I’ve made into a weekly planner.
I just purchased a field note size leather TN along with 3 field notebooks and a zippered plastic card folder. Haven’t decided how to use this TN yet. 😉
AND, I also have that Amazon Weeks planner.
I use Hobonichi Weeks sticker kits I find on Etsy.
This was so interesting!! I think I might do a video response for this one because I loved this so much!! :) Also do you like the exceed brand and how is the paper?
Thank you! And yes! Please do feel free to create a video response! Would love to see and watch!
The Exceed is great, especially the 100gsm notebooks! I enjoy them so much so, I stocked up on them as seen in my Exceed review video..haha! I just hope Walmart doesn't stop selling them any time soon..
Me too!!! I think I'm going to try and get one this week if I can!! And I'll let you know whenever I film and post that video!! I was also wondering if you'd like to do a video and blog collaboration of some sort cause I also have a blog that goes with my
channel and Instagram!! :)

Where in your home do you keep your friends? I don’t have much room so I’m trying to get ideas so they’re easily reached.
On the shelf.😉
Love the Exceed 100gsm! Thanks for sharing. So affordable.
💛💛💛💛💛
Absolutely wonderful video!
Great video!! Today I was setting up a new journal friend. I’m going thru a health issue, nothing major, and wanted to track my healing progress along with the healing from some emotional impact. It’s not really a health journal per say, more like self care or mindfulness I think. She’s going to be a great journal friend.
This is such a fun idea! I loved learning more about your friends 😄
I love your video's so much!! I hope when day i can meet you, cause u love journals and notebooks just as much as i do!!! You and i would be great friend's!!!🙄😚😊💗
Aww, thank you!! You never know....We just might!
Seaweed Kisses 💗💗💗
the comparissons are so fun
Journals help me daily! I totally get it. Each one has a purpose and personality! Love your posts!
This is a fantastic explanation of journals. Love it!!!!
Great video touch me💞
Awesome videos about your diff journals!
I'm sure you've already said but where did you get the charm on your passport tn? Love your content!
Thank you! You may still be able to find this charm from online sellers. It's the Traveler's Notebook Mizuhiki charm. 😊
What do you call that penholder clip thingy on the passport TN?
It's called the Hightide Pen Clip Hook (From the Hobonichi website)
This is hilarious!!!
You have the nicest hands
Awww..why, thank you!
🥰👍🇦🇺 you ticked all my thoughts and feelings on this subject
I don’t have (journal) friends. I have just one. I feel kind of silly, but I named her after my best (and only ‘proper’) friend.
