pls speak briefly abt ur high school and college experience - basic stuff like activities u did in both schools, what ur daily life looked like, what college u attended, ur opinion on community college, ur major and how u chose it, did that major lead to ur career?
I love that you want to keep TH-cam as a hobby and not a full time job. I think it’s such a respectable decision, especially when you talked about how people sometimes change their content based off views and such. You’re amazing!
I have seen so many youtuber's content quality go down when it became their main source of income as opposed to just making videos for fun or as a creative outlet. So I have a lot of respect for you to do what you can to make your youtube videos high quality and something your passionate about! Keep it up Zoe, can't wait to see how your youtube channel grows
Same! I had a TH-camr I was watching since she began but then she started using TH-cam as full time and her videos got really weird for content and click baitey... I understand they do that to gain attention to make money, it’s just not creative anymore.
Wow. I'm really impressed with your approach to the whole "TH-cam as a job" thing. So many TH-camrs/Infuencers (I hate that word too) that I used to respect changed their content just for the sake of numbers and clickbait and have lost themselves in the process. I hope this never happens to you. You're perfect just the way you are. I love your genuine and helpful videos. :) Please take care of yourself and I hope the future is bright for you.
Seriously Zoe, your videos are the ones that I click the fastest. Btw, I think for many of us 2019 was both the best and worst year (for me, I was able to live in Seoul as an exchange student but at the same time my mental health was at its lowest point), so I really really get what you mean. Gosh, is it strange to wish we were friends just to share these thoughts and help each other get better? I know everyone says this every year but this time for real let's make 2020 a POSITIVE year, not necessarily the best year ever (because that's not realistic, let's be honest), but a year in which we will learn more things about ourselves, we'll do things that we love with the people we love, we'll be aware of the ups and downs and we'll learn how to grow from it. Sorry for the long message but I wanted to return to you some of the positive vibes you always give me with every video you make! Let's be strong together, we can do it ✨💥🌸
Wendy K Zoeee this may never reach you but I appreciate this video and you, so much. Nights when I came home from my 9-6 job so tired and stressed would always be a good night when I saw you had a new upload. I love watching your vlogs and work out vids, watching you wake up early and be so productive was so inspiring. After graduating art school in NYC I’ve been depressed bc I haven’t been able to find a job I really love. I have trouble waking up early bc I’m just inherently nocturnal but your videos sparked motivation. I thought you had such an amazing life but I don’t truly know your pains and struggles. Thank you for having the bravery to upload this video! You show a REAL facet of being human and being vulnerable. I still can’t see myself working 40+ hours a week for a low paying job for the rest of my life, you and your videos help me keep going to strive for better. Thank you 🥺💕
its okay to not explain anything, it was a hard decision and im glad you made it. hope you can spend a lot of time healing and doing whatever you like❤
There’s absolutely no shame in quitting your job! Health (both mental & physical) is more important than anything. I love how sweet and real you come off in your videos, and I love your determination in using youtube as strictly a hobby :)
She is such a cutie, I hope that nobody will ever hurt her I'm really proud of you and your decision and I wish that your channel and live will grow to an even better thing 💋🥺💞
I agree with you!! Everyone needs breaks and it seems like you need a mental and physical one! Take your time! I know the opportunities you need will come when you need them!! Stay strong!!
I've always loved your videos (to the point where I binge watch your videos haha), but I think this video has to be one of my favorites by far. Making such a huge decision to quit your 9-5 job to focus on your wellbeing is respectable. Always love how you focus on your mental health just as much as your physical health
Omg your skincare haul looks like my kind of haul in 2018-2019. Now im sticking to ingredient based skincare. Your haul bring nostalgia to me. I spend days watching all reviews huhu
I think u r the most down to earth n honest one I've seen in TH-cam. I'm also a TH-camr (1/5) in Malaysia, this is exactly how I feel lately!!! Thanks for making me feel better!❤️
i love watching your videos so much. theyre so refreshing and wholesome and your energy instantly makes me feel more positive and enlightened ❤️ take care always!
i should be revising but your videos are a welcome break! im glad i stumbled across your channel months ago, because you're inspiring and a role model in a way that feels achievable and motivating. thank you so much, and i hope you're ok!
So happy for you Zoey! I completely understand that you needed to just take a break from a hectic schedule to just figure your life out. I’ve been in the same place too. I hope during this time you find peace and happiness in whatever you decide to do! Can’t wait to see all the new content you’ll come out with as well 💖
i'm so happy that you made this decision for yourself! i've always loved your content, and how real you are, and i really appreciate you talking openly about the money side of things. there is a lot of "if you just want something really bad you will get it!" on youtube regarding chasing your dreams n stuff like that, so to see one of my fav youtubers talk about making sure you're financially stable enough to do those things is really important! best of luck to you!!
i love you zoe!! it’s really amazing how your channel got so big in just under a year. that’s so inspiring to me!! you deserve it :) i’m glad you can take a break now from your hectic life and figure things out! i wish you the best~
I love your videos so much zoe😭😭 Literally got so happy to see you posted another one, I don’t know why but watching your videos actually helps me with my anxiety because your just so calming 🥺✨
Yes ! I actually faced a lot of anxiety and had a panic attack once, dropped out of my college (for a year) but when i look back to 2019 i only see the good stuff, it's about the perspective, i had anxiety disorder for 3 years but it was this year when i really fought it eye to eye, dropped out of college but i got braces and felt no pain , gained my belief in God and felt the existence of universe. Counting your blessings is a hard thing but when you truly practice it you realise your life is so blessed. As buddha said 'pain is inevitable' so learning to be in peace with pain was biggest source of happiness. I hope who had a bad 2019 could read this. I wish you have great 2020, remember it's all about the perspective.
how do you cope with stress/overwhelming feelings? like do you have any advice that works for you? btw i love your content & i hope you always make videos for fun, theyre always nice to watch
Hi! I hope you are fine and feeling better. As a graphic designer myself i can tell you that being a freelancer is a ride that i recomend to everyone hahaha. This whole i have been working as freelancer and i had help me to have more discipline about my time, my way of designing and how i spend my money. There is a lot of benefits about being a freelancer but also a lot of disadvantages, there is a lot of ups and downs (mostly in the economic area) but you learn from every experience, right? Rn i am back at a office job but i can tell you that i became more efficient and have more patience after this year. For real i hope you feel better and that you find the path that suits you better. I send you a big hug and i will continue to watch your videos i think you are really sweet and kind and create really good content.
Just thinking, would you consider an apartment tour video? You seem to have a very cute & minimal apartment and I kinda wanna see how you deal with storage situations (I'm looking at moving but most one bedrooms or studios aren't practical for storage so trying to get some tips) Also, love your videos! :)
Hi Zoe! I've been a silent subscriber since your first video, but I just wanted to say you're amazing and I think you made the right decision! Your subscribers are here to support you and I hope you enter into a season of healing & renewed creativity :-) Love you & take all the time you need, hope 2020 has incredible things in store for you
I loved this, thank you so much for being so honest! I agree with a lot of the things you said about wanting to be financially stable and also create content for fun! It's cool to see other people trying to figure out life as well :)
Do more of what makes you happy ✨ i believe in you zoe ☺️ ever since i started watching your vids earlier this year on which you just started, i always believe you can do better and make better contents! You'll figure things out soon for sure! Good luck!!! Lovelots 💜💜😘
ahhhhh!!! It's currently my birthday today so thank you so much for posting on my birthday!! I love your TH-cam so much 🥺💕 you made my birthday 10x better 💞💖💕🥺💫
wow i thought she'd be the last youtuber to quit her job to take time out for herself and youtube :D (becoz she looked like someone who would strictly follow the life pattern of a 9-5) seeing this is honestly so great to me and probably for a lot of other people too because she perceived her life as something 'perfect' but it's so nice to see the more real/other side of her life and how she really feels as well. I think showing more of this side of you could make you more relatable yet an awesome role model for your viewers. good luck and best wishes for you~ love from korea/NZ
you're one of my biggest inspirations, and we're all proud of you for being so brave. ♡ always remember to eat well and get some rest, you're doing great. we love u. ♡
ALSO - i'm planning to do a Q&A soon so please leave any questions you have below 💕
Do you workout every day ?
pls speak briefly abt ur high school and college experience - basic stuff like activities u did in both schools, what ur daily life looked like, what college u attended, ur opinion on community college, ur major and how u chose it, did that major lead to ur career?
if not too personal, what was ur 9-5 job, and what was the pay like?
does quitting ur 9-5 job mean that u'll be posting more on youtube?
do you have a Pinterest and where do you get your life inspo?
WHO ELSE THINKS SHE SHOULD DO ANOTHER WHAT I EAT IN A DAY?
definitely! love those videos
Ofccc
I like the "what I eat in a week" better, because there are more foods then but totally!! Yes!
week!
I think she should do another workout video
I love that you want to keep TH-cam as a hobby and not a full time job. I think it’s such a respectable decision, especially when you talked about how people sometimes change their content based off views and such. You’re amazing!
definitely! doing that full-time seems quite a hassle really
That’s what I was thinking too! You don’t see that a lot in youtubers and I can respect that
Really amazing 💕
i only hope that zoe's okay! she's so sweet and kind.
*Zoe not zoey
@@jwho4273 thanks! silly mistake
definitely
@@haileyalice2763 it's okie everyone make mistakes heheh just need to correct it :D
3 years at a job is significant amount of time to dedicate to a company!!
totally! try 5 years...
Deanie Bartolay just because it’s not 5 years doesn’t mean it’s not a lot
the financial pressure does take the fun out :( proud of you bb!!
Quitting a job isn’t always a bad thing, I’m sure you have better things in store! Love you girl xx
Youre so inspirering and just sooooo sweet you deserve everything
that is true

Who supports a video of breakfast ideas? Or what i eat as breakfast for a week? Hehe love you Zoe 💕

I'm just glad you're working on balancing your life and happiness, and doing things for YOU and not for anyone else! I hope you're ok

its okay to not explain anything, it was a hard decision and im glad you made it. hope you can spend a lot of time healing and doing whatever you like❤
There’s absolutely no shame in quitting your job! Health (both mental & physical) is more important than anything. I love how sweet and real you come off in your videos, and I love your determination in using youtube as strictly a hobby :)

Zoey is such a genuine person. It makes me smile listening to her being so honest with us :)
i think you're the only TH-camr i can actually sit down and listen to for ages without getting bored of
I've always loved your videos (to the point where I binge watch your videos haha), but I think this video has to be one of my favorites by far. Making such a huge decision to quit your 9-5 job to focus on your wellbeing is respectable. Always love how you focus on your mental health just as much as your physical health
I was having such a bad day and seeing you uploaded made me feel so much better. Your videos are so nice and peaceful, I hope you’re doing well!
I really love your videos and how genuine you always are! I'm also glad you're doing what's best for you, I hope you're doing a lot better now!
Omg your skincare haul looks like my kind of haul in 2018-2019. Now im sticking to ingredient based skincare. Your haul bring nostalgia to me. I spend days watching all reviews huhu

sending so much love 2 u
You should do a cheat-day video where you eat whatever you want🥰, you deserve it!💕
wow
i thought she'd be the last youtuber to quit her job to take time out for herself and youtube :D (becoz she looked like someone who would strictly follow the life pattern of a 9-5)
seeing this is honestly so great to me and probably for a lot of other people too because she perceived her life as something 'perfect' but it's so nice to see the more real/other side of her life and how she really feels as well.
I think showing more of this side of you could make you more relatable yet an awesome role model for your viewers.
good luck and best wishes for you~
love from korea/NZ
GOODLUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY ! 💘
i miss black hair zoe!! PS i totally love that avocado toast puppet!!
You so awesome Zoe 💜💕 Hope you know that. So glad you’re focusing on your health and what makes you happy. Thank you for sharing with us. 💜
I’m thankful that I found your channel ♥️🥺
you're one of my biggest inspirations, and we're all proud of you for being so brave. ♡ always remember to eat well and get some rest, you're doing great.
