Why I took a break from YouTube, COVID-19 shifting my life, stress with decision making, toxic relationships, creative drought, anxiety, & more
Hello friends:) if you took the time out of your day to watch this, I have so much love for you! this was one of the hardest things to film (and rewatch while editing), and definitely the hardest thing I've ever had to upload. My YouTube channel hasn't really been a place for vulnerability - at times I have given advice from the things I learned, but not to this extent. These past 8 months have been the most difficult time of my life. Sharing my story and being open about it though is so important to me, and I never want to put on a fake smile if i'm not happy or in my best state mentally. If you haven't forgotten about me over this last year thank u for supporting me omg?? I genuinely can't thank you enough for keeping up and am so thankful to have a platform like this to be able to share! If you are watching this and have gone through anything similar to what I have, I want you to know you are NOT alone. Whether it be mental illness, depression, a toxic relationship, struggling through school, A GLOBAL PANDEMIC - it is okay to not feel your best, and know there are other people out there too who are struggling to stay above water. It always comes back to self care and knowing your limits, and understanding the things you need to prioritize to make yourself happy before putting anyone first. I have listed the time stamps below if you want to skip around since the vid is super long, but feel free to watch the whole thing if you want as well:)
You guys are the best, thank you for watching, and I hope you all are having a fantastic day :,)
