There are about a billion things I want to comment but there isn't enough room so I will sum it up by saying I think you are an AMAZING person and I wish we were friends in real life. I feel like you speak to my soul in a very deep and profound way. :)
You are my newest favorite channel. I just got my first hobonichi and got a cousin, coming from happy planner and want to be less sticker and decor and more mental health and functional this year ❤
Thanks i love that you said it doesn’t matter what it looks like i should have kept going but i made a mistake and stopped so i will hold your advice in mind and just keep going so thanks
Oh I am so happy I found your channel! I'm currently enjoying my Cousin and it all started last week when I reminded myself that it is my book to do whatever I want with. I also have a Spring edition. I love what you've done with yours as mine is very similar. So freeing! ❤
Omg! Just discovered your channel today and I love your vibes. I’m also a Cousin user and recently switched to commonplacing in it - it’s so satisfying to see those dailies fill up 😌
Oh my gosh thanks so much! Soooo satisfying when the dailies are full and the sound the pages make scratch an itch in my brain 😭 thank you for being here 💕
thank you so much for sharing this. been finding how to use hobonichi cousin since i'm truly considering it for 2024. and though i love writing, the dailies seem so intimidating to me. i also don't know how to use the weeklies. but i love how you explore and try bunch of things in yours so i'll probably be doing the same as well. new subscriber here
Thank you so much for the feedback! the dailies definitely intimidated me in the beginning. The more you use them the less scary they are. I wish you all the luck with your 2024 planning!
I just love this. Thank you so much. especially for telling us that the planner is our safe space. I noticed that it didn’t take long before I started « performing » even for my planner, for it to look nice. I started putting a lot of pressure on myself for something that was supposed to be for me. thank you for reminding us to protect our inner child. 😓 I really felt that. I am just curious, do you ever journal out in public, like in a café? I think that’s something I struggle with and am trying to figure out right now. I have a Weeks that I take out « publicly » to doodle in cafés and it doesn’t matter as much if people see what’s in it, and I leave my larger cousin at home, but I would love to have everything in one book. I’m curious whether people journal in public or not and whether it affects how they structure their books or even which books they choose.
I felt the exact same in the beginning! I have journaled in my cousin in a coffee shop and other public places before and didn't mind it (also mind you I share mine with the entire internet so that might be different LOL). I try to just remind myself that no one really cares what i'm doing and more than likely I am never going to see these people again and even if they did see me or my book they will probably forget about it the second they walk out. I also like to write smaller to give myself a greater sense of privacy but again I think it is just letting go of that feeling of perfectionism and not caring what you or those around you think about your book. I hope this helps! Thank you again for sharing
Love your planner. I think it’s just beautiful. I’m just getting started with a Hobonichi cousin. I really like the way you use your daily pages. Lots of inspiration. Thanks for the gift of your time and your talent.
Thank you so much! I've learned and picked up things from so many other youtubers along the way. Good luck with your cousin this year, I hope you love it!
Do you think a common planner might suit you more (if you haven’t already tried). It’s almost identical to the hobonichi where it counts, but the “daily” pages are undated. As you often write multiple days on one page, like I do myself haha, maybe the CP would be a good match?
I've gone back and forth on a CP and have been sooo tempted to try one but for some reason I don't like the font in the CP which is such a niche thing to be picky about lol. It's definitely been in the back of my mind though, maybe one day! Thanks so much for the suggestion
Thank you! I just sized them down through my printer settings and just printed them on normal printer paper. I definitely tried to fine the highest quality image first and that really helps. Thank you for being here!
@@torionpaperHi! does your cover fit exactly? I just received my first cousin and same cover and it seems a bit tight but not sure if it stretches after time. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I actually am taking an IG cleanse and haven't started an account for my YT but I have been thinking about it! Thank you for being here :)

Ah this is so kind thank you so much! I appreciate you being here and wish you all the best
Thanks so much for sharing your planner! It's so refreshing and inspiring to see you use it for yourself, no matter how "imperfect" it is!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and am happy you’re here ❤️
Loved your planner! 2024 will be my first time using the cousin. You have inspired me a great deal, thanks!
omg thanks so much! You will definitely have to let me know how the cousin works out for you!
You are my newest favorite channel. I just got my first hobonichi and got a cousin, coming from happy planner and want to be less sticker and decor and more mental health and functional this year ❤

I love this. thanks so much for sharing
Thanks so much! I’m happy you’re here ❤️
Oh I am so happy I found your channel! I'm currently enjoying my Cousin and it all started last week when I reminded myself that it is my book to do whatever I want with. I also have a Spring edition. I love what you've done with yours as mine is very similar. So freeing! ❤

This was lovely. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here ❤️
love your channel! i’m a weeks girl but i’m avoiding planner fomo by just living vicariously through your cousin videos
Thank you so much! I did get a weeks as well for next year so you may see some videos in the future but regardless thank you for being here!
This is very inspiring and clear. Thank you for this 🙏🏽
Thank you so much! I am happy you are here :)
Love your artwork wish I was able to do that!
Thank you so much! ❤️ thanks for being here
Loved the video & your planner! I think it’s super aesthetic to look at!
Thank you so much! I feel like it’s a good balance of chaos and pretty things 😂
Omg! Just discovered your channel today and I love your vibes. I’m also a Cousin user and recently switched to commonplacing in it - it’s so satisfying to see those dailies fill up 😌

@@torionpaper For real!! Love flipping through those full pages hehe

How small is your handwriting...I love it!
Thank you! The planner grid size is 3.7mm so around that small?

@@torionpaper no worries 😊
How did you print those book covers? They look so crisp and clear
Thank you! I just sized them down through my printer settings and just printed them on normal printer paper. I definitely tried to fine the highest quality image first and that really helps. Thank you for being here!
Chonk check on a future video? I want to put more in my hobonichi but I always get paranoid about it getting difficult to write in it
Yes of course! Mine is a little chunky but I don’t mind it too much. Would be happy to show what it looks like though!
Hi! New to your channel! What pen do you use in your Hobonichi?
I use the Zebra Sarasa Dry drift grip in .5 💕 it’s my fav!
Dang girl, you read The Goldfinch in three days? Do you speed read? Please make a video about your reading habits!
Yes, but I also read it in tandem with the audiobook and that helped a lot! Thank you for the recommendation, I would love to do some reading videos.
I apologize if this has come up elsewhere, I'm new to your channel. What plastic cover do you use on your cousin?
No problem at all! I use the Midori MD notebook cover in A5 :) I just got mine on Amazon
@@torionpaperHi! does your cover fit exactly? I just received my first cousin and same cover and it seems a bit tight but not sure if it stretches after time. Thank you.
@@janettegaudiesus7533 it does! I feel like it definitely stretches after a couple days/weeks
@@torionpaper thank you! I didn’t want to mess up my hobonichi cousin! I’ll be patient😂. Glad I got it a few months early so it has time to stretch.
@@janettegaudiesus7533 i also put mine on and let my cousin sit in like a sunny window for a little bit and that helped
Tell me about ‘Night Bitch’….is that a book or a movie?
It's a book! I would say it is a very wild and unhinged take on motherhood and womanhood. I loved it!
Omg I’m so happy I found you! Are you on IG? I love your setup!
Thank you so much! I actually am taking an IG cleanse and haven't started an account for my YT but I have been thinking about it! Thank you for being here :)
