it's insane how much of an impact you can have on someone's life without ever knowing it. Sarah, your videos bring me so much peace and comfort. I'm always coming back and rewatching them whenever I need this feeling and am unable to find it elsewhere. There is something about your videos that make me feel so at home, and that's not a feeling that I come by often. I know I'm not the only one and I hope you get to know it too.

omg farah, i'm crying!!!! this is so kind and makes me so happy to hear. i wouldn't be able to do it without my community and people like yourself in my corner

Same! Im feeling the absolute same! 🙌🏻🥰 I just love the vibe of the videos that come across. so comforting, cozy and inspiring in their own way. I also really love your vibe Sarah! My family is from Canada, I live in Germany and your videos, your personality makes me feel at home for a little while. So thank you for that. You'll find your inspiration and you'll find your spot in this crazy content world. Take your time, but please don't stop 🙈 maybe you can connect with some of those videographers you look up to and learn from them? maybe just ask ☺

Maybe doing a job related to your studies or starting masters and research will help! Imo despite being nice and inspiring, the issue is to make KZfaq a full-time job and getting stucked very quickly as vlogs, lookbook, trips..videos are inevitably repeating themselves. And wether we like it or not it's largely promoting problematic standards in so many aspects, from the constant consumerism... to the scrutiny often young women are putting themselves in. Good luck to figure out things

@hannahmonaghan178 Жыл бұрын

I agree! I prefer when KZfaqrs are doing something else rather than just working as a KZfaqr/content creator ❤

@ritarosa6824 Жыл бұрын

But it's so much work to update an youtube channel, people have no idea. People who have two jobs usually either only do it for a short amount of time or are really into making money or wqnt to eventually leave the first job and end up just as an youtuber.

Been here for years and there's a reason why! Your videos impart a huge sense of comfort and warmth and always feel so grounding. They've also helped me being comfortable in being more independent. I don't think heavily curated content could have done that in quite the same way. Love from New Zealand x

Love that word - puttering - Gonna add that to my vocabulary. I don't think anyone knows exactly what they are doing. We're all just on a continual journey of figuring things out. Which is comforting but also scary because we're aging..?! haha anyways, thanks for existing and sharing bits of your life with all of us thus far! Hope you are feeling better!

@katiem.kermashek861 Жыл бұрын

I came here to say what a lot of others are saying. I so enjoy your videos because of how real and honest they are - I think that is what makes you and your channel different from others. It doesn't feel like static content, it's feels more like we (the viewers) are seeing what a friend is up to.

Art is absorbed and perceived differently for everyone! It’s so funny that you feel that way about your videography because that was a huge initial draw for me to your content. The shots that you include show the beauty in the little things in life, and your choice of music helps to highlight that a ton. They work so well together, and it’s why we all love you! Feeling lost is so hard, but just wanted to share an outside perspective

Oh mannn, as someone who also went to UVic, this made me so nostalgic in the best way. I moved away after graduating and seeing your life in Vic makes me so so happy. I also really relate to your chat about figuring out life and next steps... entering the late 20s feels so exciting and terrifying all at once. Thanks for being open with us and sharing where you're at - I think a lot of us are in the same boat and it's cool to hear other people's perspectives :) I appreciate you & the space you hold here on good ol youtube.

Always love the vulnerability! KZfaq is definitely a funny space - we get to to come on here and watch you live your life (or rather, the parts you choose to share ofc), and you’re obviously a young person trying to figure out your direction and your place in the world just like the rest of us who are watching. I think that more often than not all of our directions are fluid, constantly changing as we grow and experience the world, and it’s cool to hear you share authentically about how you are trying to navigate that. Know that your community stands behind you and is here for wherever that takes you + your presence here :)

Also, I tend to get perineal dermatitis flare ups when I’ve used too vit c serums or exfoliants like salicylic acid too frequently! Maybe it’s either of those things? Lol xx

This happens to a lot that feeling of confusion - a creator in the UK named Brittany Bathgate felt the same way and did a video where she explained that she’s got a real life job at an art gallery and will continue her content creation at a different pace by working only with a few select brands. Maybe an option like that would be good

Youre comparing yourself to others far too much..I understand where youre coming from though. Just be YOU, whatever that looks like. If youre looking to pivot, just go with the first hit of inspiration and go from there. Don't overthink it. If youre into astrology, that will give you a better insight for social media presence

If you haven’t already read through all these comments, we love your videos. I think it’s only human of us to be so hard on ourselves and especially on something so different from your comfort zone. But trust me and everyone on the comments, your videos give us comfort, happiness, inspiration and lots more. Don’t be so hard on yourself but if you know what you want or need time off then it’s okay to put yourself first!🤍
