journal with me! (chill video) 

NOOO NOT THE ANIME NICK CAGE DRAWINGS BEING LOST MEDIA 😭

"professionnal oversharer" is a great way to describe your job

Scary coincidence how i just got into journaling when you posted this LMAO

I know you said you don't believe the majority of your audience would care for this sort of content, Emily, but I just want you to know that this is EXACTLY the kind of video that brings me joy. Journaling is also a huge part of my life (for at least ten years now) and watching other people and the way they format their journals, as well as seeing your incredible stationery collection, is just so aesthetically pleasing and provides me with so many more ideas! I, unfortunately, haven't had the chance to journal in three months because of college, but I would love to implement some of your methods. So, thank you! I enjoyed the heck out of this. ❤

Journalling was never really my style, since my days were often rather uneventful in the past, but since February of this year, I've actually commited myself to writing a daily journal (both digitally and in book form). And I've noticed that journalling really helps in many ways. It relieves stress, helps me deal with overwhelming emotions, gives me a lot of inspiration and is a good way of learning to appreciate the little things in life I often would forget about otherwise. So I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, age or general background!

"...I got my hands on an instant camera, and I started using polaroid photos to add visuals to my journal entries, which ended up being really helpful when I didn't want to write entire paragraphs, because a single picture and a caption could tell me everything I needed to remember the moment." That was actually really beautifully described, and it makes sense. Bravo, Emily.

9:08 Emily writing “I didn’t have time” while talking about how time is escaping her. Serendipitous!

Journaling is something I wish I had the dedication to consistently do.

I would actually LOVE to see more emirichu journaling!!! It's actually pretty nice to hear about ur months and how you journal everything and I really enjoyed it!

Requesting a 1hour yap session

Journaling is so stress-relieving and I have been wanting to know the best way to make my journal look nice. The way you journal makes it less intimidating.

honestly i love the yapping format lol, its nice to hear you talk about whatever random stuff, i honestly think more videos like this aren't a problem!!

Hey, this comment probably would go unnoticed by the majority of people here but I was wondering if you are ever going to continue with your how you draw videos (it’s not really a series but id like it to be one), that video really inspired me to return to drawing and I would love to see more videos of your drawing process.

I love the fruit basket journal, So cute 🥰

“I don’t recommend letting too many memorable days stack up” me sitting here behind on writing entries about my trip to Mexico, Washington DC and going to NYC for a day 🧍

emily, can we talk about the elephant in the room? YOUR GORGEOUS NAILS

Journaling is honestly so aesthetic 💅

My Virgo stationary self is going wild right now 😍 I’m going absolutely feral the stationary!!!! The Polaroids the JOURNALING AHHHHHH! 🥰

I really enjoy the irl videos. It’s nice to get a mix of the drawing and irl stuff. I find them really comforting.

I started a journal 2 days ago inspired by your stationary video. I ended up picking the same type of notebook as you use. I was never any good at making anything anyone could consider "art" so I never tried to get better at it. I am attempting to turn my blank notebook into something beautiful that also documents my life. I have tried journaling in the past but it was very clinical, I would write exactly 5 events each day and never how they made me feel. I guess I wanted to avoid anything cringy in the event someone found it or something. Thanks for giving an engineering student with the artistic talents of a pair of damp socks the inspiration to actually try doing something art related for the first time since elementary school. Its been nice

It does feel like time is escaping us more and more as we grow older and have more things to do. I hope to be more careful with that, and hopefully more free time that I'm actually enjoying.

I’ve been Journaling for 7 years and 8 months now. I’ve never missed a day since. During my sophomore year in high school they got rid of planners which I thought was stupid. So I bought a Journal to write down my homework for each class. Slowly along the line I just ended up writing down small things that happened. Eventually paragraphs and now pages… I love journaling, I want to keep doing it until I die. It’ll be something I can leave behind for my family or future kids to read.

for glueing stuff that's pretty on both sides (like fanart with a letter writen on the back) you could try adding paper hinges - just take a smaller piece of paper, fold it in half and glue one side to the thing you want to put into your journaling and the other side of the paper hinge to your journal. If the thing you want to place in your journal is bigger use more paper hinges 😊

Your current mix of content is literally perfect. I never get bored of seeing your videos!

Emily's journal giving me a reason to buy even more cutesy stickers to add to my collection🍓

Shoutout to the cute journaling but, her nails are so nice, I love em

This is very helpful, I've been really wanting to start a journal lately TwT.

There's something very funny about hearing Emily say "And I just released my new journal, go check it out!" and then glance down at the popup link to the store which says "OUT OF STOCK" in all caps. 😂 Congrats on the popular item Emily!

"I had a crush on Nicholas Cage. I was 11 don't judge me." Why would I ever judge something so valid.

A chill journal video. Nice, journaling is so aesthetic.

Please please please more journaling/stationery/chill content!!! I love hearing u talk and I too share your love of all things paper goods

I would absolutely love more journaling videos! Your voice isn’t loud or distracting (IMO) but fills the silence enough for me to focus on my tasks while listening.

EMIRICHU AND JOURNALLING????? THANK YOU SO MUCH

I love doing this with scrapbooks! Literally so cute!!! Gotta say sometimes I’m so scared to write tho cause it feels like I’ll destroy everything with the wrong words or somethin, so I salute u brave soldier 🫡

PLEASEE make more videos like these emily (I LOVE HEARING U TALK SO PASSIONATLY ABT JOURNALLING), this acc motivated me sm to keep a journal

I myself started falling in love with journaling around late last year, doing little spreads/scrapbooking and actually using my stationary goods instead of hoarding them. Before I would just write blocks of text which can be quite tedious to look at or sit down to write it, even simple pops of color by using of highlighters or washi tape really stepped up the game for me. At the end of the day, journal should be what makes you happy ^^ I really like this longer form of videos, definitely a chill way to journal along myself!

Aaah a long-form, chill emirichu video on a warm spring evening, what a life~

Sickirichu has adapted and gotten stronger ...FOR NOW

What makes this journal video even more relaxing......Some nice soft Coldplay songs goin in the background (Sparks, Up In Flames, Us Against the World, Magic, etc.)

I've watched this like 10 times by now. It's the perfect kind of video to have on the corner of your screen while animating/working and it's not easy to find such content on youtube so pls make more :'D

this is 100 motivating me to start journalling

I do have a Kawaii Journal as i put the month date year. Anime sticker. And a stamp as i write down of what i did and what i got from a store that i love or a new place

Absolutely brilliant organization and aesthetics in your journaling process. The personalized and creative touch you put into every entry is admirable.

28 min of Emily yapping, hell yeah. this is very relaxing and it kinda makes me wanna even start my own journal

This makes me feel relaxed. Thank you for making this.

I didn’t know journaling could be so fun until this video 🥹 thank you for sharing this

The planner loks AMAZING, Emi!! Absolutely lovely!

I love journaling and I’ve noticed just putting thoughts on an event and not adding super specifics help keep a very positive tone to things, as well one of my favorite journaling channels with the cutest stationary is rainbowholic. It’s the cutesssttt!!!!

Journaling, yeah! Can't wait to watch this!

10 seconds in, already a good chill video.

Thank you for sharing your process. It gives me a better idea of what want to do with my own journal. Also, the planner is so cute and such a good idea! ☺️💖

I started journaling just this year knowing I was taking a trip to japan and anticipating wanting to remember these new memories better; I feel even better about my choice hearing you started for the same reason! also our journals end up looking so much alike omg! I do the same thing with tons and tons of stickers to block off interesting shapes to write my tiny handwriting in each page...

I've always wanted to get into journaling like this, but have been too scared. Thank you for showing your process!

The bit with fanart with letters on the back reminds me of how I would tear out pages, fold/cut them in half, and tape them onto another page to make it a folder. I also used to do this other thing a lot with my mam: tearing out pages to make tiny envelopes and letters, adding a blank page for a reply. Honestly, I was never much of a diary keeper. I was a diary maimer.

Pleeeeeaaassseee do more videos like these i really love hearing you talk about your journaling process/ stories and has honestly inspired me to try it out. It truly looks like alot of fun and a nice way to relieve stress.

love this so much keep doing this!

I know the focus is the journaling, but my freaking ADHD brain keeps getting distracted by the nails 💅 they look great tho.

i need more of these journalling videos. this video was so relaxing and i love hearing you talk.

this is a perfectly timed video for me!! i’ve been wanting to start a journal for so long and lately i’ve started to collect things to start! so i’m glad this came out- i think seeing other peoples’ style of journaling will help me find my own journal style

Why don't you consider starting a brand new channel dedicated to IRL videos? That way you have a better way to see your all your memories :D (Like this comment so Emirichu could see it)

Please continue making these types of videos they honestly make me feel really relaxed and calm me when I’m really stressed out

I love this format so much!!I always find myself wishing for more of Emily whenever a video finishes and more than often I put all the videos on loop again,either in the background when I’m cleaning or for when I’m eating,so these type of videos suit me really well(I’ve loved everything you’ve come out with since your move to Japan omg every video is better than the last). I love everything you talk about Emily don’t feel discouraged in expanding in the things you do we’ll end up loving them regardless🌸🩷

at 22:03 you talk about wanting to get designs photos, but there’s actually stickers you can get pretty cheap that are the frame of the photo and place it right on top of the white parts and it hides it with a cool design on top! I hope this helps so you won’t have to spend extra for specialty prints!!!

I would love more journaling videos! I've been journaling for over a year now but I'm more of a "writer" journal with a few collages every now and then. I started journaling as a way to use some old (and not that cute) notebooks I had on a drawer, but now that I've been consistent for a while and the uglier notebooks are finally coming to an end, I'm looking forward to get more into stationary and doing cuter journals like yours! It's true that knowing I have a lot to write will many times make me delay it until the memories aren't fresh anymore so I think you've found the perfect balance between text and collages. So yes, videos like this would definitely boost my creativity and inspire me to journal more in a way that makes me more satisfied. I just have to start collecting more stuff from my daily life to paste on the journal ahah I really enjoyed this video Emily, thank you!

Also I loveee these types of sit-down/voice over journaling videos!! Would absolutely love to see more!!

i love this casual style of video!! it’s so relaxing and i love seeing how you journal and use different stationery 💕💕 please make more chill videos like this!!

This planner is definitely one of the more genius ideas i've seen in quite a while. Awesome idea for a product!

Videos like these are so soothing! I love the voiceover, it's like listening to a podcast in the background while doing chores. Would love to see more like this!

the planners are so cute omggg!!! and yes i would totally love more journalling videos!! they're kind of calming in a way, everything seems so organised and in control

I love Emily's videos and just how chill and full of nice vibes they are. I love listening to her tell stories and such, and this video was like that format, but on steroids. Loved this video Emily!

I love your videos because they're all so chill and it's somthing to watch or listen to while doing something like eating, drawing, or playing games

I’ve been journaling for years, but so far it’s only been writings, and when I recently tried getting into scrapbooking, I tried to keep it separate from my journaling, but ultimately found it to be a struggle and an experience I just wasn’t happy with. This video made me realize that it’s okay to combine the two and, in fact, it would save me time & energy and probably result in a journal I’m more proud of! Thank you so much for making this video, Emily! Would love to see more journalling from you!

I would love more journaling videos! Either voice over or just comfy music cx very relaxing and encouraging to try it out myself when I go overseas without feeling overwhelmed

I've been committed and consistently journaling since October last year and I'm on my 2nd one now. I actually love to write anything and just jot down stuff whatever my thoughts throw out. Lovely to watch this video and learn more about other journaling stuff. Thank you

Yes please definitely more of this with commentary!! All the bright colors are so fun!!

I reallyyyyy love this type of content!!! as a journaling lover myself I never thought of using big washi tapes as decorations to fill the pages I love the idea I ran to my journal and did it immediatly💖

Really enjoyed this video while folding laundry and the time thing going fast or just passing you too quickly is something I can relate to especially since I have a 1 year old and am currently 14 weeks pregnant and time just flies . The journal is really cute!! Now I'm so tempted to buy ...

I love this! The chill vibe of this journal with me video is great, I hope this becomes a little series ❤️

Oh my god, this is amazing timing considering I picked up a little mini version of journaling this year. This is genuinely such a lovely video, even with you picking random things to talk about!!! I think yapping is NOT a problem! CC:

I will never have enough of Emily talking about her love for all types of art. I love art. I LOVE ART. I LOVE HEARING ABOUT ART, TALKING ABOUT ART AND LOOKING AT ART. I would love to see more stationary or journaling videos

I loved the storytime/stationary recs and tips/ journaling! This is fantastic for zoning out and zoning back in

As a fellow stationery enthusiast, more stationery & journaling videos are always welcome ❤❤

I actually love when theres journal with me videos with some idle chitchatting. Theres not enough of those.

All the dress up darling stickers and journaling made me SO HAPPY I LOVE IT!!!

I used to write a diary for years and it was very much like this - I used stickers and glued in all kinds of things from magazines and chocolate wrappers and so on.

It was so nice to see you journaling, getting to see the fan art being part of it too❤ The journal at the end is so cute!

I recently started writing in my journal again. Ever since I started college I had a lot on my mind and journaling helps me get my thoughts out on my head and I can also enjoy an art form I really love. The thing I want to say is thank you Emily for making a video that I can watch when I need a little brake from studying and life 💖 please make more videos like this if you enjoy it 🍄💮

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THIS!! I love these kinda videos so much!! maybe like a monthly update to your journaling?

i really like this, i like when you talk about stationary/things you do and just talk

Glad you mentioned Loft! It's my favourite store in Japan, been going since 2014 and I love going every time I visit!

This is one of my favorite videos on your channel! It's quickly becoming my new comfort video lol I love looking at all your spreads and will likely be getting inspo from this video for my own journal!

dont care if the footages are from a year ago I love watching your cafe videos!!! please upload more take care 💕

this video gave me a major motivation boost, i had stopped journaling for a while but I think this is just what I needed!

I've been waiting for this moment my entire life for a journal with Emily 🥺💖

emily i suggest using tweezers for placing stickers !! it can be really handy especially with smaller stickers, it helps to put them exactly where you want them

I like watching you talk about random cute stuff while i draw its entertaining and motivational!! I have been a fan for years and i enjoy watching you everytime you post a new video, thank you emily!!!

Not wanting to do a bunch of drawing videos everymonth is so valid. As an artist myself I always feel pressured to post crazy often despite drawings taking a while to do. Honestly I think doing IRL videos as well as drawing ones is a great solution!

Just what I needed! A journaling video rambling on about stationery and journaling related things while I paint and then journal later😁

emily i love all types of your videos whether if it is drawing or watching your irl videos. they are both so amazing and interesting to watch and i'll always be here to watch them. do what you wanna do!

This is probably one of my favorite videos from your channel! I've been journaling for years and have been wanting to change it up, but I'm not sure how. You've inspired to just start something new. Thank you
