😭 I'm overwhelmed

Master Wugui

Thank you for this inspiring quote..that's why I like reading the comments section, can learn from others in this way.

I think that was in kung foo panda....

This “philosophy“ only works in english.....

It is such a joy to me that this video has helped you feel as if you "remember a moment [you've] never lived before." I know exactly the feeling you describe, a deeply personal yet inexplicable connection, and I am so pleased to learn that other people have felt this as I have felt it. Please know, too, that the protection and love are not just imagined: they are offered from my heart to yours.

I'm sure your house is lovely and full of character; how lucky that you get to live in the kind of space that inspires my videos. :)

Install a speaker system and just play this on repeat LOL

Cecily Erker maybe you could do a house tour and put it here on KZfaq? If you do, please let me know! I’m sure your house is beautiful!

Where do you live? Just curious.

Great job keeping that historical heritage alive instad of simply modernizing it all. Keep it up!

You do me an honor by returning here when unsettled, and a further honor by taking a moment to tell me this. Thank you so much. I will never stop being grateful and amazed that such a small creation of mine can do something good for someone. I wish you groundedness and peace, whenever you need them.

Me, too. I look at it over and over again.

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 I also appreciate your work so much - you have a great talent for these videos and they are by far my favorite thing on youtube!

Absolutely adore this room I used to love having a fire to gaze at ❤

Me, too!

I'm so happy that you enjoy them! I completely understand the sentiment of wishing sometimes to return to the past -- I obviously feel connected to past eras quite strongly, which is why I make videos like these -- but of course (as I'm sure you know) the old times were also difficult in their own ways, and marginalized groups of people struggled and were oppressed even more fiercely than in the modern era. Based on my family/personal history, in Edwardian times, I would have been a nearly illiterate tenant farmer's daughter/wife or a servant (an honest but not very glamorous life), and I almost certainly would not have survived to my current age. But I also love many things about the past and would happily sit down to tea in this parlour if I could -- and you'd be most welcome to join me! :)

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 Hi. You are absolutely right, each era had/has its own problems. Of course times were harder than our modern era. We have so many machines/computers etc to helps us lead easier lives. I don't really like modern houses either. I feel they don't have much character. That's why I love your videos, because for a while I can imagine I'm in a lovely, cosy room like this particular video. And yes I'd love to meet you for tea in this parlour 😊. Best wishes to you. 😊

​@@hannahbg1852 It seems that we disagree in some ways on this topic, Hannah, which is fine. Please be aware, though, that my position on the hardships and flaws of **every** era is not only informed by "books and classes" (the veracity of which I have examined and trust) but also by my own family history and the personal experiences of my ancestors (as told to me directly), and the family histories & ancestral experiences of people I know, which I can assure you were not exaggerated or misrepresented. I am well past the age of formal education (even my professional-degree education ended more than a decade ago), but I agree that a well-rounded perspective does not only come from books and classes; I therefore encourage you to seek out a broad range of information from people/sources of diverse backgrounds (with respect to race, class, religion, age, disability, gender, etc.). I also hope that you will encounter enough good and beauty in the world around you now that you will not feel it is wholly "like hell"; I'm sorry that this has been your experience, and I wish you abundant love and fulfillment as your life unfolds.

@@hannahbg1852 I'm so sorry to hear that you've been teased and that you feel alienated from your peers; I know that can be very painful. You said that you're fascinated by the Victorian era, so I'm sure you know that, unfortunately, you probably wouldn't have been able to hold onto your childhood at that time, either: Victorian childhoods were often very short, and child labor was commonplace. My great-grandmother and great-grandfather (who were born in the Victorian era) both had to leave school at age eight so they could work and help their families survive. By the time she was your age, my great-grandmother was working full-time as a maid. By the time she was 15, she was married, and she had her first baby a year later, at age 16. I'm grateful that you can still call yourself a "little girl," if that's how you feel. By the way, I wonder if you've read any novels by Victorian authors; I wonder if those are some books you might enjoy. When I was your age, I read my first Charles Dickens novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. The main character is a 13-year-old girl, who appealed to me at the time; I wonder if she might also appeal to you. I can also recommend Oliver Twist, which centers on young people as well, or Little Dorrit, whose title character is a 22-year-old young woman. Watching television or movie adaptations is a very different experience from actually reading the books themselves, as the original Victorian audience would have done. Dickens wrote in a rather verbose style, and his novels are often quite long, but if you don't mind that, perhaps you would like them, since he is arguably the most famous Victorian writer.

@@hannahbg1852 Yes, I read and enjoyed the Little House on the Prairie books, too, as a child; if you ever want to expand your historical reading further, I do still recommend Dickens. Also, I apologize that I wasn't clear: of course not every child experienced a life like my ancestors' lives, and I do not doubt the experience of your family (which happens to differ from mine), but a primary focus on paid/unpaid labor beginning in childhood (and a much shorter period of formal education than the modern standard) occurred regularly among families around the world who did not belong to the privileged classes. This was particularly true in the early Victorian era, before laws regarding school attendance were enacted; for instance, as you may know, it wasn't until 1880 that England made school attendance mandatory for children, and even then this requirement applied only to children ages five to ten, who were still permitted to work outside of school hours (and indeed, hundreds of thousands of children did work in paid labor outside of school). Also, the philosophical concept of "childhood" as a time of sheltered (perhaps even playful/frivolous) dependence was only just emerging in the 19th century. This type of hardship is still part of life for some children (especially in less wealthy/powerful countries), but it is less common now than it was. I am familiar with research on the Victorian era, too, but since you expressed a distrust of books, I thought I could share my own family experience as part of my hope that you will gather stories from a wide variety of people throughout your life. I also feel the need to clarify that my beloved great-grandmother and great-grandfather were not at all forced to marry; they freely chose to marry at a young age, though of course they had already been de-facto working "adults" for several years. They had extremely difficult but very meaningful and loving lives; it seems that your ancestors were luckier than mine, but I hope they also had beautiful lives. I am glad that we could share our family stories with each other, Hannah, and I hope you will continue to pursue your interest in history widely and deeply.

I sometimes find myself wishing I could step through the screen to sample some of these beautifully baked delights. :)

Michelle D. - I'm so glad to know that my videos can help you sleep; I hope they bring you peaceful, rejuvenating dreams. :) I agree that the other channels you've mentioned have very fine work -- how wonderful that you've discovered them.

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 Thank you. And rest assure I will watch your future ASMR/Ambience videos (I am subscribed to you so I know when you posted a new video) and send some words of encouragement in the comment section. Also, I really like your other videos with the Victorian wash room/laundry, the 19th century cottage and the reading nook. I added them to my "Sherlock Holmes ASMR/Ambience" playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLzG_3q50DuPmPW70JGHByWX68k0ezPdEd Thanks a bunch. I love your ASMR/Ambience videos. And I love both Modern (BBC Sherlock) and Victorian (ACD's novels) Sherlock Holmes ASMR/Ambience videos.

I say this is a really jolly good show, real top's,Jolly good, jolly jolly good show.

I'm so sorry for your loss Laura ❤ giving you a big hug before we sit down for tea and we can right the wrongs in the world xx

Thanks for your kind message, yes a cup of tea solves everything 💕🌸

@@lauraann4014 🥰

My condolences to you. Sending you wishes of comfort and strength.

Sorry for your loss I'm glad you've found a place that brings comfort

I am so deeply touched by your comment; it means so much to me to know that what I've made has been a help to you. Thank you so much for choosing to be so kind, and for being vulnerable enough to share some of yourself with me; this is such a precious gift. Although I don't know and can't imagine the full reality of the difficulties you face, I do know what it's like to move through life with lots of pain. You're not alone. Please know that, whenever you "visit" this space, my company and tenderness are here waiting for you. Also, if you're in crisis, or if you need help, please feel free to write to my e-mail addressed listed on my "About" page, and I can try to help put you in touch with more resources. I am holding you in my heart at this moment with love.

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 Thank you!

Now time for a historical bath

That's so kind of you to say; thank you so much! It amazes & delights me that the things that bring me joy can bring joy to others, too. How lovely that the two of us can share joys. :)

Yessssss

Thank you so much; you've brought me a smile by taking the time to tell me this. It makes me happy to know that you've found my videos useful, and I hope you sleep well every night. :)

Lovely❤

I prefer the period before - the Victorian ..more cozy ....less technology than the Edwardian. :)

Your comment made me giggle; thank you for brightening my day.

🎂🍰🍰. They look delicious ( yum yum. )😘

❤

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment; it brought joy to my heart. I am so grateful to think that, in my own small way, I can offer something to make your life more peaceful and unhurried. I'm actually quite shy, and I don't really enjoy public attention, so I was reluctant to make a KZfaq channel -- but people like you make me glad that I took this step. :)

@@ambienceofyesteryear6871 I am very very happy hat you made this step. I feel you about your shyness, but from these videos, your absolutely shining personality shows - the gentleness that you can brings through is amazing. It's me thanking you! :)

激しく同意します！ 理想のリビングです(*'▽'*)

It is a delight and an honor for me to know that this video has been invited into your everyday life. I'm glad to be able to keep you company this way. :) Thank you!

Thank you so much, Katherine. :)

It’s not a window seat - it’s a chaise Longue

I apologize for my delayed reply; I wouldn't want you to think that your kindness was unappreciated. Thank you.

Thank you so much; I'm happy you enjoy it. :)

It always brings me such joy when I learn that my videos help connect people to treasured memories and loved ones. Thank you. I hold you and your grandmother in my heart with tenderness at this moment.

A "reassuring and peaceful cocoon" is exactly the type of atmosphere I hope to share; I'm so happy that something that brings me peace and comfort can do the same for you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

There is for me, too, a special sweetness about being at "Grandma's house", so it made my heart glow to read that my video reminded you of this uniquely wonderful feeling. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity! **They** are much appreciated, truly.

Madeline, I know that you commented some time ago, and I'm sorry for my late reply, but you found the list of sounds to be accurately, enjoyably reflected in the video. Thanks for commenting!

How kind of you to say so; thank you!

I play this video in the morning usually, too. :) I'm so happy that it is an experience I can "share" with you. Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

Ambience of Yesteryear 👍

Thank you, Nancy. :)

Thank you. :)

Thank you, Sabrina. :)

I have been delayed in replying to comments lately, but I do try to respond to everyone, so here I am (perhaps much too late!) to say: yes, I could do with a nice tea, myself. :) Thank you for stopping by!

Your comment brought me such a smile; thank you so much. I hope someone or something in your life will give you the same kind of smile today. :) It is an honor to know that something I've made has been invited into your everyday life; it is an honor to be able to "keep you company" this way. I have no intention of removing it, I promise, and I hope you will continue to visit as often as you'd like. Thank you again.

Proper afternoon treat. ☕☕🍰🍩🔥🍝🍬

@@debrahitchman416 put on some music in the back round that from the UK. And the Queen and put the pinky up and take a sip of tea.

@Denise Bond thanks old chap. and the games a foot.

@Denise Bond Harry Potter and England and St George. and to be or not to be that is the Qetion but not Anred and now a Loony tunes Shakespear Joke that ye all folks.

I am too late to wish you a Merry Christmas, I know, but I hope it was lovely for you, and thank **you** for your kind comment.

It is important to me to acknowledge that nothing I do is "perfect" -- but if this suits you and your tastes perfectly, then I am so very glad! Honestly, I think of these videos less as "work" or "effort" than as gestures of sharing and love; thank **you** for embracing what I offer here.
