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!

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.

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

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.

Journaling is honestly so aesthetic 💅

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

“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 🧍

I love the fruit basket journal, So cute 🥰

Requesting a 1hour yap session

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 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

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

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

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 😊

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.)

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

this is 100 motivating me to start journalling

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

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 🫡

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

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!

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.

Sickirichu has adapted and gotten stronger ...FOR NOW

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

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

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

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

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

i used to be so stressed out about making my journal cute and aesthetic and having to write everything but i realized this was my journal and i could do whatever i wanted to since no one was going to see it but me, glad someone else felt this way ! :)

"some of my friends got stung by a jellyfish! luckily i have jellyfish washytape 😊" LMAOOOOOO

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

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

PLS more journaling, it's like art block medicine, so relaxing and entertaining as well as inspiring!

I felt the same way too Emirichu! I did thrown away my journals experience of living in America from Puerto Rico. I even thrown away my Puerto Rican experience as a little kid (born and raised in Boricua) to when I left Puerto Rico. I understand why I throw those journals away because It was dealing with abuse with my mother and it hurts me so bad that I didn't recognize i was abuse that I destroyed all my journals thinking i was so stupid back then (now I horribly regretting it). I picked up journaling 2 years ago and started put many things that I have grown out of and how I healed from the many things I felt self cautious or insecure about. I am black individual so I filled my journal with amazing and rare artistry of other black artists on my pages that give me inspiration. Everytime I looked back on my new journals, I felt inspired and beyond "space and time" feeling. I called my journals Growth and Explore so I don't ever have to feel less than by ANYBODY ever again. I am grateful for that. To be honest Emirichu, I'm actually Daidus fan and when I first met you, I didn't like you at all until my boyfriend said 'No. She's actually act exactly like you so therefore you don't like this aspect of yourself.' I was mind blown~! My partner was right and I started to watch your videos and realized 'omg...we both love stickers' Now I appreciated what you doing and you are frigging cool. Thank you for truly being you.🥰

10 seconds in, already a good chill video.

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!!!!

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

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 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 actually love journaling videos! It motivates me to fill out my notebooks. Have fun :)

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)

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 started journaling for therapy purposes I never thought before your videos I could make them look so pretty and inviting

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.

I love how Emily's child hood crush on Nic Cage is a recurring part of the Emirichu lore.

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 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🌸🩷

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

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

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.

Pro scrapbooker tip: when you mention not wanting to glue over fan letters, you can use photo corners to paste them into your journal. That way it’s removable and you can still pull it out and look at it quite easily! I use photo corners for photos I only will ever have one copy of (old family photos) postcards I receive, or letters from friends. I don’t know where to buy them in Japan but they are readily available at most craft stores in the states. Adhesive photo corners!

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

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 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 🍄💮

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

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

honestly i would LOVE to see you do more videos like this! it feels very comforting and chill hearing you talk about stuff like this :D

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

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

I genuinely love these kinds of videos, and seeing someone who also has a sticker addiction but isn't super professional with their journals like stationary channels is so refreshing. Please do more of these! I love them so much!

I used to journal like a diary like all words and no stickers or visual, until I got to watch your Cafe videos and I saw how you'd add stickers and make it more of a scrapbook. Really inspired me to write more and add more memories to my journal.

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

I haven’t drawn in almost 2 years, and I think you inspired me to draw again, keep being awesome

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

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

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

Your previous videos inspired me to start scrapbooking, but I've admittedly struggled to begin. This video makes me really want to start! Thank you for all the tips and tricks, and the words of wisdom are such a help. I'd definitely love more of these videos, especially a tour of your travel journal setup!

Journaling was always a hobby I had interest in, but never acted on out of the fear of "not doing it right" or it not coming out super nice. This video is def inspiring me to give it an honest try tho! Whether I use it to vent about my day or make cute collage pages, I think having a physical object that I can put memories and thoughts into will help me so much as I go through my day-to-day. Thanks for the chill vid Emily! Really made my day to see. ^^

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

Honestly i really love these style of videos and hearing you yap was really fun especially while i was doing my homework, so please emily make moreee!! 🫶🫶

I no joke was doing laundry when watching this video and it was a super relaxing thing to listen to and watch, would honestly love to see more of this type of chill relaxing content ♥

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 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

Thank you so much for posting this, keep up the good work! I played this in the background while I finished some school work and I was super relaxed the entire time. I would really appreciate if you made more videos like these

literally studying for midterms and playing your video in the background really is focusing and soothing (ITS EFFECTIVE FOR MY MEMORIZATION SHZ HSHSHS) Your videos have this cold(not in a bad way, it's comforting), peaceful, comforting aura i love listening to all of ur vids T_T

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

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

Honestly I treat your IRL videos as little podcasts from one of my favorite animated youtubers, glad you're enjoying your time in Japan

Thank you for sharing your journaling hobby, I find this interesting to see your process and all the fun things that you have done irl.

This was a really fun video, and I enjoy the style of it since most of the time im not really paying attention to the visuals and instead just listening.

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!
