    I am SO happy your video randomly popped up on my home page. I love your filming style and your vulnerability in talking about mental health is so powerful. You are not alone in feeling low. When I’m in a funk, I try my best to be fully intentional, as much as I can in everything I do. You got this!! 💕

      Wow thank you so much Rosie 💜 comments like this truly mean so much to me! I agree with being more intentionally during times of uncertainty and that’s something I’m definitely trying to work on 🫶🏽

    I have diagnosed anxiety and depression and nature does so much for me, aside from my therapy and medication plan. Just getting some fresh air to unplug and read or take a walk helps me clear my head and re center. Glad it helps you as well, I hope you’re feeling better! And yes, I cannot do too much spice either. I’ve really enjoyed “slow burn” where you learn more about the characters, both separately and as a couple, before the spice starts.

    I've always liked all genres of books, even non fiction to me it's all about if a book is good or not..when people say they only like this type of book or they'll only read this kind of book I think ok you like what you like but I also feel sorry for them because they are missing out on so many great stories

    Nature always makes me feel better as well! Also yeah I have pretty similar book icks, I don't like when it's like 99% spice either I had to drop a few books because of that and they had potential but it made me lose the genuine feeling between the two characters because every thought of theirs were purely spicy and I want the characters to have more things they love them for than just their body

    Nice vlog :) Walking in nature really helps me too. Reading books is also useful to de-stress so I'm trying to slowly start reading more books in French to combine my language learning with something else I enjoy doing. I aim to listen to the audio while reading to better connect speech to how it's written. When you discussed reinforcing your goals for this year I thought about looking at my progress for my reading goals this year and it's nice to reflect and see I've reached more of a balance for reading in my two main languages. Btw. I like seeing you move towards your goals while taking care of yourself, it's inspirational :)

    You filmed in public and we are proud of you for that because you stepped out from your comfort zone in a day where you weren’t feeling yourself. The more you do a thing, the more it becomes comfortable and easier to do. When I need to get my shit together I always listen to the Wizard Liz or Mel Robbins. They don’t sugarcoat things and sometimes I need a reality check. As you evolve as a reader also your taste evolve but also your vocabulary and the way you talk. It’s not something that a lot of people notice but the way you express your opinions change a lot if you read a lot. Something I can’t stand when reading a book it’s when a scene is too descriptive. I like authors that with their words can make you imagine the scene but when there useless things that makes it everything boring and heavy it’s a big no for me.

    • @khalilahd.
      @khalilahd.  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Martina! I couldn’t agree more with you! I definitely feel more comfortable filming in public because of how frequently I have to these days.
      I’ve never heard of Wizard Liz or Mel Robbins but I like people who give me the hard truth so I’ll look into them!
      Also I agree with hating overly descriptive scenes in books. Sometimes less is more lol.
      As always thank you for taking the time to comment, I always look forward to seeing what you have to say 💜 hope you’re doing well!

    I want to be out in nature so bad but I'm pretty sure we're just skipping spring all together this year. It's SO cold. 🥶 I think I might go to the library tomorrow just to change up my surroundings. Leave my phone at home. Submerge myself in a book. I'm in a slump myself. I'm also starting a new medication for my depression and anxiety. 🤞 Hopefully that helps too.

    I have the same book ick. Another book ick I have is when the main character is selfish and not likable. Cough verity cough. If I hate the main character then I won't be able to enjoy their narrative. It just ruins the reading experience for me. They don't have to be perfect but they at least need to grow and/or get some consequences for their actions.

I guarantee you they gonna feel more weird than you do at that point lol.
