    I just watched a grown man scrapbook for 25min. And could hardly look away. If that's not storytelling at its finest, I do not know what is

    These stationary/journaling type videos from Pete have quickly become my favorite on the whole channel.

    This is so niche. Aaaaah the rabbit hole of stationary. Welcome to Commonplace Book culture.

    Few months ago i found my mother and father notebook they handwritten when my brother was born before me. They wrote ordinary stuff that happened that day with him or even globally - their fear of war or inflation, looking towards the future and optimism. It was such a valuable find, and it gave me immense pleasure reading it, it is different than a photo, you can return back to those words and they echo in eternity somehow. Now watching this video of Peter, it makes me want to start writing and taping photos and sticker and postcards for my two daughters, it would be like a piece of me that will outlive me that they can return whenever they want. Thank you Peter. <br>FYI - why dont you make these exact same notebooks and put your name on it and sell? Its really unique if it comes half prepared and rugged, it would be premium notebook brand.

    This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. My girlfriend noticed how much time I was spending on my phone and how destructive social media is to our relationship and to my own well being. I turned the icons grey on my home screen, set screen time settings, deleted apps…You name it. I even bought an iPhone 13 Mini to ditch my 17 Pro (Which I inevitably went back to for the cameras). <br><br>Being a Millennial in my late 30’s, I miss the simplicity of life before cellphones. Thanks for the inspiration to take the plunge into a better, healthier lifestyle Peter! All the best! <br><br>PS: We met at an Angels and Airwaves show on their last tour in NYC. Still grateful for meeting you!
