I’m sorry that you have been down on yourself as a KZfaqr. You are my FAVORITE channel and your videos bring me a lot of joy! 💗

Welcome back! I just wanted to hopefully reassure you by saying: regardless of your analytics, the quality of your videos has remained so incredible, and it is obvious how hard you work on them every week. I hope you will be confident in your videos and your work because I am confident every week that they will be absolutely wonderful and joy-bringing! It may take some time to grow out of this self-sabotage mindset. But we'll be here with you through it :)

this video came to me exactly when I needed it. I'm 44, and have been working myself to the bone to try to show my worth and value to the group I work with (in the same group for over 17 years!) and it's so exhausting and I know not sustainable for my health. You are wise beyond your years, and your videos bring me peace and calm. Thanks for sharing your light on here Morgan, you need to know how appreciated it is. ❤

Oh dear sweet Morgan....you are enough! You are perfect just as you are! Friends will come and go throughout our lives. They serve the purpose they were meant to serve at certain times in our life. Each of us matures and grows at a different pace. Hold tight to the friends that help you achieve a better YOU as those are the truly amazing ones. You ARE doing exactly what you should be doing at this point in your life. You are touching people's lives and making our days just a little brighter. I love your creativity and desire to try new things. I can't wait to see where your illustrations will take you. Whatever you do, if it brings you JOY, it is the right thing for you. Believe in yourself....your wondrous self!

Self Sabotage truly comes from years of conditioning, of believing we are not good enough. We are not worthy of that life. I would always lol at myself for dreaming that dream. What I have understood is that the process of breaking the pattern is not linear. Our ego, our fears will continue to nudge us in the wrong way. It's one of the ways we feel protected but like you said Morgan, once we recognise it for what it truly is, healing begins. Wise words have been spoken by a very wise woman. You are a powerful witch Morgan. You are always choosing to step into the light. Thank you for the gentle reminder. ❤️

Morgan, thank you for sharing some of your heartfelt experiences with your viewers, as well as your positive approach on how to be kinder to yourself and to believe in yourself. I'm certain this video will help many people. It certainly is a good reminder to me to be as kind to myself as I am to others. Thank you again.

Morgan's pep talks>>>>> everything else

I'm so so happy that you're feeling better! We are all so grateful to have you back here, but glad you took the time you needed to truly rest. I truly cannot remember the last time I felt unwavering confidence in myself and the chat at the end means so much to me. I always think that people might view me as conceited or selfish if I'm overly confident, so I just shrink into the background (or, more likely, be a very awkward and anxious human every time I interact with someone). It really is just self-sabotage that hurts me from reaching my goals and happiness. Your art is truly so cozy and whimsical. I saw another from another commenter that they would purchase a print, and I have to agree! I have been loving following your creative journey, it's so refreshing to see someone enjoy what they are passionate about! Thank you for always spreading such meaningful messages throughout your videos. I will never forget when I first found your channel and would just bawl because I felt so much joy and comfort through your message that we are all enough.

To me, your channel has one of the healthiest and, at the same time, most beautiful content.

i absolutely love your illustration!! it’s so cute and cozy and i honestly would buy a print of it, just love it! :)

I am so grateful to have found your channel. After my morning yoga, while preparing and having my breakfast- I just sit down and enjoy the amazing art of your video production. I particularly love your choice of music that plays in the background and just that special warmth I experience while watching your videos. Your ability to create such a warm and loving environment through your work is such a gift. Also thank you for showing your vulnerability and sharing your experiences with the struggle of perfectionism - I hope that you can also apply these loving words of self worth onto yourself. Morgan, I wish you all the best and hope that you can see how worthy- just by being you- you are. Sending love from Austria 🇦🇹

Hey youse, I JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU 2 DAYS AGO. I had a couple of notifications of other Book tubers & I thought, wait, when was the last time I watched something from Morgan/"Mo". So now I know. We are so deprived when you don't show your beautiful face. So sorry you WERE under the weather. Glad you have come back to us & glad it wasn't worse. Bless yr 💚 (I picked green because it reminds me of your NATURAL collections.)

We missed you, Mo! But I truly believe that taking breaks and resting is key to renew the love for what we do 🧡 ¡Cuidate mucho!

I opened this video randomly as I really miss your vlogs but what you said in the end about self sabotage felt like a direct message from me as I'm struggling with it these days...your words truly comforted me ❤ Your are a source of joy and hope in my life Morgan...so thank you for that

It’s so great that you are back Morgan-friend😊👏🏻! We all missed you. But it’s absolutely ok to take some time off. If you are sick or exhausted or just need a break. For any reason whatsoever, you have the right to look after yourself as long as you need it. I hope you feel much better now. When you were talking about self-sabotage and that you often have the feeling that you’re not doing enough or don’t reach all the goals you wanted to reach, it reminded me of a text I recently read on Instagram: „Western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose. To work, to make money. Some indigenous cultures believe we‘re alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. We don’t need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.“ Take care and see you soon… and I loved your vlog (of course!).

I really loved your opening up at the end about self-sabotage. You help so many people in these vides, I'm sure. And they are a real pleasure to watch. Take care of yourself, Morgan; as you say to others in each video, you yourself are 'wondrous'.

Inspiration can't be forced. Your videos are loved & looked forward to bc you're authentic & genuine (the list/compliments could go on, I digress). If you aren't feeling up to it allow yourself a break guilt-free. Most of us can call off work (for mental health reasons for some lucky employees) why can't you? Glad to hear you're feeling better! Think we're all guilty of putting too much pressure on ourselves & that's not what creative outlets are about imo. Though they are a good tool to turn bad feelings into something good/tangible. Food for thought. Love your content 💗

So need a friend like you right now in my life. I feel sadness and happiness at the same time after your videos like this, heart to heart. Whenever I feel bad or insecure of myself I find comfort in your videos. Thank you so many times💛

I'm in bed feeling rough after my second vaccination yesterday and this video appearing made me gasp with delight, and smile so wide. Getting lost in a wholesome and uplifting half hour(ish) is exactly what I need. Thank you for all your videos, Morgan, but especially for this one right now. And I don't think you're letting anyone down at all by taking a break from uploading, for whatever reason. In fact, I think you should take more breaks: you work so very hard, you deserve a holiday now and then, and I think it's a good way to build a healthy relationship to a job. Whatever the reason, I'm sure your community here want you to enjoy yourself and work on your own terms.

I’ve already felt like this about friendships, like everyone else where excluding me, but Morgan, don’t take everything to yourself, you have no fault of people letting go of your friendship (I have experienced that), if you made everything that you could do to that friend and even then they want to cut friendship, then go! You worth so much, so don’t take the guilt to yourself. And if you think you where wrong, forgive yourself and move on (do it better next time). Don’t feel bad for taking care of you for those days that you where apart, I love you and take care of you 🤎

Welcome back! :) Greetings from rainy Finland. So cosy to watch your video with a cup of tea and sounds of rain.

Welcome back, Mo! You were deeply missed!🧡 Your skills in videography and editing are truly fantastic. I love the whimsical feeling your work gives ✨

your heart to heart at the end made me think of a scene in anne with an e where anne tells cole that he's unique, not in the way that unique means weird but that it means being "singular and extraordinary" 🥰 so keep being your singular and extraordinary self, mo - we love you for it 💛

I'm so glad you are feeling better and I'm so sorry you were ill!!!! I'm so happy about sweater weather here in Oregon!!!!! I can really feel the shift in temperature! I think as women - we have the tendency to play those negative tapes in our heads of being unworthy, not good enough. I can replay the bad or embarrassing things I've done over and over but somehow the wonderful, good things are never on that replay loop. And high school friendships...especially girls....it can just be hard. Hugs to you and thank you for sharing so much. Your channel will grow...it really will!!!

Thank you Morgan. You are amazing and strong person. I have a depressed 12 year old. and happily with treatment is doing much better. Your insight has helped me understand her a bit better. I love your calming channel. Be patient and kind to yourself.

You don’t know how excited I am that this video popped up this morning. I am sooooo glad that you are feeling better! :)

Your videos are fantastic!! They’re calming and peaceful and motivational too!! I struggle with the same insecurity issues. Isn’t it funny, how we can look at others and think there is no reason that they should ever feel insecure about anything, and yet, we can’t look at ourselves that way? At the beginning of August I decided that I would start taking better care of myself, mentally and physically. I pay attention to when I need rest and I try to give myself more compassion. It isn’t easy. I have to keep reminding myself. Hopefully, it’ll become second nature soon. I love your videos! You’re putting good out into the world!

forever catching up on youtube and your videos! but they truly keep me company during rough patches. self sabotage is so real i appreciate you opening up about it

Thank you, Morgan, for the talk on self-sabotage‼️You’re so damn smart! I’m going to replay, over and over again, your lecture. I too do a lot of self-sabotage exactly in the way you described working myself to the point of exhaustion and illness, yet it’s never enough to satisfy the people around me who never have a kind word to say to me. I keep working thinking I’ll get it right and maybe they’ll be satisfied this time, but you can’t please people with an agenda. Best just to focus on me 😊 I wish I could send you a bag of TJ’s Swedish Fish as thank you 🙏

If you want to learn to draw, one thing that I really recommend that’s free and doesn’t require a class is to bring a sketchbook with you and a pencil EVERYWHERE and draw what you see during any moment of free time you have. This is how I learned to draw. Draw the people sitting in your classes, the people on the bus, people at the park, stop and draw trees you see on a walk, birds, etc. No class can beat it. If you make drawing a lifestyle you’ll learn so fast and get so good. Also this sounds counterproductive but the best way to learn to draw in a specific style like how you want to is to actually learn how to draw realism first and then after you get good at that decision which aspects of that you’d like to change.

I am way behind because of life and work getting in the way, but I am so happy to be back to watching your videos today. It's like seeing an old friend I haven't seen in ages.

So glad you’re feeling better! The way I see it, if you were working a typical 9 to 5 job and got sick you’d take sick days so it should be normalized for creatives to take breaks too. Loved how cozy this video was!

I stumbled upon your channel a couple weeks ago and have been watching your back log of videos ever since. I find them so calming and peaceful. This particular video really spoke to me. I also have a tendency to self sabotage and lost my dearest friend in school because of it too. Thank you for sharing your life with us, both the ups and downs. I needed to hear some of the things you said. Thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing. I know I appreciate it, and I know many others do as well. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! 😊

😭❤ you are just a brilliant and beautiful soul. So many valuable nuggets of truth and encouragement, along with the whimsy touches of your creative and bookish life. Darling, you are always worth the wait! Thank you for resting, we love you!

I am glad that you are feeling better and that you took the time to rest. Your drawing is so precious. Cannot wait to see how much you grow. I have had a lot of struggles with self-sabotage in friendships, other relationships, and work. It's all too common. Here's to ending those toxic cycles that cause self-doubt.

Hello Friend so hapoy to hear your feeling better . . don't feel guilty on getting rest health comes first . . omg absolutely love your illustrated art piece so beautiful I envy your artistic talent . . stay amazing hugs to you Landon and Roo ❤🙋‍♀️🌻

I needed to watch this today. I have had this heaviness of anxiety all stemming from regret and self sabotage. Thank you!

Thank you my little angel for you kind words. Makes me feel so good knowing that we're all different, not perfect and we have to love ourselves so other can love us. I guess we all get caught up in a web and sometimes can't get out. But we have to think positive, and believe in ourselves so we can get out of that web and be strong, better and beautiful in our own way. Thank you for such great advice . Thank you for talking about your life. Makes me feel not alone. We're all beautiful creatures 😍♥ big hugs to you. So nice to see you again. And I'm glad you're feeling better. 😌

Morgan, you are so valuable to us and friends and family care about you. Never lose sight of the fact that you are well loved by the You Tube community. Sure, there are things we could have done, differently. However, we can't change the past. We could only change the present. You are doing it. Morgan, you are a strong, courageous woman. Don't ever forget it.

You are such an inspiration. Thank you for the joy that you bring me and the comfort you share so generously. You are wonderful and you should never have to apologise for taking time to heal. Never stop being you

Thank you for the kind and beautiful words at the end :) I teared up a little bit, I really needed to hear that! :) And please never feel guilty if you need a break. We all want you to be happy and healthy. :)

Hello Morgan. I am sorry to hear you were feeling unwell, glad you are doing better now. You are always missed, but I am glad you took care of yourself.. you have taught all of us just how important self-care is. We'll always be here waiting for you, but taking care of yourself is most important! It stinks that KZfaq analytics are so important to channel success... you are my favourite KZfaqr by far... when I talk to anyone about what channels I watch on KZfaq I always recommend yours! Your soul speaks to my soul.... when you shared at the end about overworking and self-sabotage. I know that feeling all too well.. I am a perfectionist and it can be very difficult NOT to put your whole self into everything you do. I struggle with always wanting to do things perfectly.. especially on the first try! And then when I don't, my self confidence is shaken. Self awareness is the first step. Thank you for being vulnerable with your audience. We love you so much. Your video style is whimsical, and cozy and quirky and fantastical and magical and soothing. And I hope you find your confidence back again... you are so talented... your art work was so beautiful. And you and Landon are the absolute sweetest. Thank you for always letting us viewers into your life. Take care of yourself. You are a very special individual and are doing such wonderful, blessed work in the world.

Your reading tree is perfection! Mo, you are a gift for us! Your channel is a poetry! ❤️

My heart aches to hear of the hurt you experienced losing your best friends, I'm so sorry that happened. I'm so glad you've got such a full life and seems like you have some wonderful people in it now~ (I'm a Christian) I just get this sense of light from you, from your openness and thoughtfulness~ I just know your future is going to be full of even more amazing things! I can totally relate to not feeling good enough so overworking or even just giving up.. I didn't really think about it until you started talking about it.. thank you for being so open and encouraging. It brought tears to my eyes and came at a time where I really needed to heart it. I think sometimes God let's us hear things in His time and can work through little daily things~ So thank you again for the encouragement~ and I hope you keep up your illustrations! You're already doing so well and have a such a natural knack for color and composition ~~

Oh relatable! And I am a 47 Y/o mom with daughters your age. So you are not alone and you are right it is nonsense! We are strong and smart and WORTH it all!!!!

Glad to see you are feeling better! 🙏 As always your vlogs are just what the world needs. Welcome back. 🌻

It is such a delight to have a new video, thank you! I am glad to see you're feeling better and sorry to hear you've had a rough couple of weeks. I hope you have applied copious quantities of books and tea and are feeing more yourself.

Thank you Morgan for your honesty and wise words. I too lost my self confidence in high school and I became that weird, awkward person in my friend group, thankfully though I have one amazing friend from my high school years who I have known now for 16yrs. It was definitely hard to overcome at the time, and even now at 29yrs old with two degrees, I still struggle daily with self confidence. You are right though, if people are the cause of it you don't need them in your life, and if we ourselves are the cause, the best thing we can do is acknowledge it and try to work with it. I have missed your vlogs and your wise words. Thank you for being so kind and honest in your videos. Have a lovely weekend! ❤

So glad you are feeling better, Mo! ✨ I had a pretty impactful death in my family last week and it’s been so hard to stay in my routine. I can’t take a break from work so my break had to be with self-care…I’m trying to get it back. I’ve made a self-care to-do list for this weekend so hopefully I can get back into things. Thanks for always being so transparent with us about your triumphs AND struggles. You’ve got this. 👍🏼

You are just darling. Sounds like you are growing in self-awareness. Keep being you and know that we think your channel is wonderful and that it brings us lots of joy!

so happy you are feeling better, morgan 🧡 my friday mornings weren't the same without you! i fully agree with you that the transition between seasons is such a great opportunity for refreshing our routines...loved watching this ✨

I don't know why, but today's video feels like a chef's kiss👩🏻‍🍳👌 ✨✨✨classic✨✨✨Morgan video! Thoroughly enjoyed, glad you're feeling better, Mo! I'm hoping that approaching fall crispness will give us all the spring in our step we need 🧡

Your genuine kindness to Landon 😩🥺 makes me want to go hug my husband and be more kind for small gestures and complimenting him making me tea! You guys are the sweetest.

When I hear you say the parts you said at the end, I always think of brene brown's principles of whole hearted living. Number 7 is "letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol & productivity as self worth, and instead cultivating rest and play". I love brene brown. She has helped me loads. Can I also add that I have never come across another KZfaq that makes videos like yours, where you feel that your footage is like being in the cinema or watching a nature documentary. You are so much better than good enough!! Brene brown again: The most dangerous stories that we make up are the narratives that diminish our inherent worthiness. We must reclaim the truth about our lovability, divinity, and creativity xx

So glad to hear you are well again after that stressful experience-nothing is more disheartening than not being able to get an answer from doctors about what is going wrong :( p.s. I love love love your final self-portrait illustration. You captured the coziness of your space so well!!

thank you for that little chat at the end, I really needed to hear that! I just recently found your channel and I’m so glad I did, this is definitely my new cosy comfort corner of youtube🥺🥰

Morgan! I'm so glad you're feeling better. I want to let you know that I'm a long time viewer but I didn't even realize you put out a video every Friday! 😝 I'm just happy when I see you in my feed. So please don't think people are holding you to Friday uploads or weekly uploads. Please be gentle on yourself you're still living in a pandemic. Your art is so whimsical and pretty-- I look forward to seeing more of if!

You’ve created a very cozy and beautiful space on KZfaq, so try not to let doubt creep in. ✌️💕 Glad you’re feeling better!

YAAAAY!! Morgan's back!! I've missed you so much! But don't ever, EVER feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Everyone needs time off now and again. Plus you've given us countless hours of beautifully crafted content. I can't tell you how many of your videos I've rewatched just to cheer me up and help me be present in my life. You are truly a bright ray of sunshine in this world, and I'm so happy you're feeling better. NEVER EVER feel like a failure or someone who has let us down because you have only given us an immensely gorgeous gift. ❤

I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better Morgan! But I'm also so so sorry you had to go through feeling so unwell and uncertain, and I'm very thankful that everything serious was ruled out, but it must have been so stressful and scary for you! I really hope you'll be able to count on Patreon more and more so at least financial uncertainty won't matter so much on top of feeling sick. I really wish everyone could take sick days without fearing for their future. Ah, it broke my heart when you talked about self sabotage and losing confidence in oneself. And then I realized how much I related to everything you were saying. Thank you always for making me notice things about myself and for always encouraging us to become more observant and kinder. Welcome back and please take all the rest days you'll feel you need from now on!! ❤️

Oh, Morgan. All the things you said hit me really hard. Imposter syndrome is a real issue and can destabilize the mind so suddenly :( It's great to see you again, take care.

Hi dear Morgan how are you I've missed you soooo much I've been waiting to see you each Friday receiving a notification from you makes me so happy thank you for making my Friday cozy cant wait to have more from you and I hope you are feeling better and healthy and about doubting you capacity please Morgan you are the best bookish youtuber in KZfaq no one makes me calm and happy and positive like you you are the best of them all sending my support and love for you ❤😚😚

So happy you are feeling better! I know it can be scary/frustrating to not have a name for what is ailing you. Happy to have you back :) You never let us down; you are human and deserve breaks if you need them!

Your videos are so comforting. Please keep up your honest vlogs. They really make a difference xx

My sister said once: You can't carry on with you all the people in life. Friends come and go. They are here for a period not for a life. It's not your fault or them. People change, highschool friends are not the same as adults and it's perfect normal. I let go so much people and I don't know how to tell to a specific person that I'm not feeling comfortable anymore with her presence because we are not like 15 years ago... 🥺 She has taken so much in life and have a few friends... But I can't be the same person that she thinks and this is keeping me back from move on.

Hello Mo, I am very happy that you are fine again! Oh yes, here in Germany, autumn has definitely slowly arrived. The first leaves are falling, it is raining, it is windier and above all the typical gray. I'm looking forward to autumn, but I'm a little sad that it's going so quickly now. I miss the sun . But yes, it is the way it is. Landon's trick of putting the candy out of your reach .... I know well * smile *, I have to hide mine too if I want something the next day. My husband nibbles everything away from me ... lol. You are really brave, Mo To lie on the tree reading, I would be afraid of falling down the whole time ... I would be unsure to lie down ... I read The Midnight Libray too, but I didn't like it that much. The idea was great, but I found it too predictable. And mental illness has been discussed in a fancy way, in my opinion .... I really like your illustration, which shows you on the sofa. It looks so cute and the colors are nicely chosen. Your Steffi, I send hugs and autumn vibes

You are so wonderful! I discovered your vlog a couple of weeks ago and LOVE everthing about it! That said, I want to assure you that if you miss posting, I won't be disappointed. Life happens and we all need to take time for self care, even someone with as awsome a vlog as yours!

I just loved the ending words; "Believe in yourself oh wonderous you!" (It reminds me so much of something Anne with an E would say :)

You are a beautiful soul. I am sending you hugs. Keep that inner light shinning bright

I'll always consider your videos a delightful gift, no matter if you miss a week or two or many! Take care. ♥️

I just love your videos. Your honesty and words of wisdom mean a lot to me. I feel like I am talking to a good friend when I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent and your life here on youtube!

Hello Morgan! I just wanted to let you know what a blessing you have been to me ever since I subscribed to your channel! I'm in college at the moment and dealing with a bit of depression and anxiety, but your positivity and your kindness gives me hope for the future! Thank you for being an excellent role model!

mo, i'm so thrilled you're feeling better

I have missed you and your videos! I have spent the last 2 weeks rewatching some of your older videos.

Hi Morgan! I am glad you are doing well and making these realizations. I needed to hear something like this. I am going through a transitionary period in my life right now and the self doubt is creeping more than ever. When you spoke of your experience, I realized that I am going down the road of self sabotage. Fear and doubt have been eating me alive lately and now I know this is self sabotage. Thank you so so so much for being you. Even if you don’t see this, please know I look forward to your videos ALWAYS. I see you as a friend. Stay strong oh wondrous you! ❤️🤍

Watching your videos is like a breath of fresh.

I am SO happy there's a new video and very glad that you're feeling better! I missed you, friend ❤️

Please continue to create 🙂 your videos always make me calm and happy and I always find myself smiling when I reach the outro. Believe in yourself 😄

“You deserve to enjoy your life.” Wow, I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that. Thank you for sharing your experiences! It definitely helps me look at my own experiences from a new perspective.

I'm so sorry you were so sick! Very glad that you are better now though! And while I missed your videos I'm really glad you took the time off and didn't try to push through and still work. You deserve to rest when you need and I'm glad you took care of yourself!

The illustration is wonderful! Hope to see it in your webshop some day!

I'm glad your feeling better, it's a weird way for you to enjoy movies, books and get rest .No one wants to be sick .Love you ❤, tell Landon hi .Things will be better and a 100% soon .It's your channel you want a break, take one we understand .

That reading tree!!!! What a gift!

Yay, I have missed your vlogs!! I'm so happy you are feeling much better! 💓

I've only just found your channel and boy am I glad I did. You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for your wonderful content.

Glad you are feeling better! Your artwork turned out so well! 💕

Your videos are literally peaceful and I love them. Keep it up🌱🌻☀️

I love how all your vlogs are just so cosy!

Thank you for hanging in there for yourself and all of us who believe in the importance of healthy living, Morgan!

I’m so happy you’re back and feeling better! And that you had time to rest! Your heart to heart really resonated with me and what I’m currently going through so thank you for being vulnerable and sharing such kind, thoughtful words 🧡 also, love your sweater/fall clothes collection!!!

Thank you for your beautiful talk at the end. It resonated with me so much! And your artwork came out stunning! Truly! It really looks incredible ♡

Yay! You’re back!

Love your art piece! You could totally sell things like that. I can see people sending pictures of scenes or people that they want you to paint and personalize. Oh the possibilities 🤗 Also, side note, you mentioned in the beginning that you weren’t “showing up,” but you did. You showed up for yourself by taking a break 😉

Dearest Morgan, You are indeed such a wondrous individual! Thank you for being you & I'm so grateful to hear you are well and in good health again. Seeing your video pop up made my heart leap with joy - your content allows me to seek out & find the many joys this life holds, as well as allows me to slow down & gain peace. Thank you 🥰

So glad you are feeling better! This message was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for being you!

Oh I love this channel so much. You are sunshine Morgan 💛💛 glad you’re feeling better!

What a beautiful video! I've had a busy few weeks and this video was the perfect reason to get a moment for myself and to catch up with my embroidery. I'm glad you took time for yourself to heal and get better. Your health and mental health always comes first. Your speech really made me think about some things in my life and I realized that I have also been self sabotaging some aspects of it. I will try to not do that in the future haha! I loved The Midnight Library by the way! I read it last year and I absolutely loved it.

I love this video so much, I was just randomly checking if you had uploaded a video after watching the September book announcement on Patreon, and then you had! What a way to start your morning, with a video from your favourite youtuber

I’m so happy you’re feeling better and took time away to take care of yourself! Everything you talked about is so relatable. Whenever I watch one of your videos I feel happier and as if I’ve just had a great chat with a wise friend😊

Holy crap, it's insane how much I relate to your story of high school and friends. Mine is so so similar. I also became so self conscious in high school and slowly lost two of my closest friends. The same thing happened at university. Its hard because I miss our friendship so much and I want to reconnect but for some reason I'm so scared to reach out and be let down. I'm getting better at forcing myself to not overthink my current friendships or my status in them. I'm trying to just show up as my authentic self and know that thats more than enough. But it can be so challenging when I've spent so much time being hard on myself. Self sabotoge is absolutely right. I adore your reading tree and I so admire your art and your determination to learn new things and keep practicing at them. And hooray for sweater weather!
