I spent the summer of 2011 immersed in "YouTube Video World" via my stint at the YouTube Creator Institute and the subsequent hours I slaved over turning my channel ideas into reality. So then on July 22, 2011, iIMAGINEblank was born! It's been 10 years, 500+ videos, and A LOT of changing, growing, and figuring... Continue Reading →
Somehow we're over halfway through the year already and fully into summer. I write to you today in the cool morning hours of my parent's pool deck where I'm taking a much needed mental health break for the week. 2021 has somehow felt harder in many ways than 2020 did. Last year we gave each... Continue Reading →
We're diving in to my favorite (and usually most busy) part of the year! June brings warmer weather, the first pool days, and lots of lush greenery. It's also a time of nostalgia for me. (Though it seems like EVERY season is nostalgic for me these days š ). One of the saddest memories was summer... Continue Reading →
The year is once again flying by (?!) and it's May! And I think that sentiment of time slipping through my fingers is reflected in this month's prompts. I reflect on the questions "Where have I been?" and "Where am I going?" a lot these days. I like to look back without feeling too much... Continue Reading →
I gave myself a new journaling challenge in April: take a weekly photo. If you scrolled through my iPhone camera roll, you'd find some days where I have a hundred photos. Mostly of my cat (because he's cute ALL the time) or a mini selfie shoot because I was feeling cute (which happens SOME of... Continue Reading →
In my mind, April is the start of spring. It's a time of blooming flowers, warmer days, and a feeling of rebirth. (It's also coincidentally my birthday month!) So I fashioned this month's prompts with that sense of renewal in mind. I think I went a little heavy with some of the prompts the past... Continue Reading →
March (for me, at least) marks one year of everything in my life (and the USA) being upended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's been a *YEAR*, and yet it also somehow doesn't seem like a year could have possibly passed! And because of that feeling, when I started compiling March's journal prompts, I found...

February is the month of š LOVE š, right? So why not some love-themed writing prompts for the journal this month? But don't panic! It's not all mushy-gushy "What do you love about your significant other?" (In fact, that's not even on this list). Instead, this month I wanted to focus on thinking about what... Continue Reading →
2020 was the year I really embraced daily journaling. It started as a daily writing challenge with a friend but slowly morphed into photo layouts, elaborate collages, and icon sketches of memorable moments. I'm still not at the level of those perfect calligraphy bullet journal layouts that look more like art pieces than a functional... Continue Reading →
Where have we been? And where are we going? That's the subject of my last video in 2020: https://youtu.be/U0TTHBTQa5c I ended 2019 asking the question: āWhere do we go from here?ā And thought Iād be taking a much needed creative break from the internet. Then 2020 happened. And how was I supposed to process without... Continue Reading →
