Thank you for all the love, you lovely, lovely love beasts. I wanted to make sure to let you know that I know about the audio issues, and, as I said in my description, they should be fixed in all future videos. And a huge thank you to everyone who gave audio advice! And next time, I will be sure to flip the sound for your listening pleasure. ASMattR is my audio hero!
This spoke to me in....more ways then you can know Nichole.Thank you for being here.A quote from Mark Twain,that is always in my head,which is. "Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.” Have a lovely day. -Jer.
Thank you for the name drop, Spring! I'm more than happy to lend a helping hand to someone as generous as you, and that's on top of the number of times you've helped me sleep or just chill out :D Can't wait to see what you do with the new settings!
5 years ago this video got me through one of the hardest times in my life, and 5 years later I am still listening to it, through good times and bad. I know you’ve been off TH-cam for several years now but if you still read comments, I want you to know that I am so grateful for the content you produced and the stories you shared with us. Thank you.
I hear you. I developed tinnitus in my left ear back in 2020 that really causes sleeping issues like you wouldn’t believe. This legend’s videos have helped me more than she will ever know and I’m sure there are thousands of folks just like me who reaped amazing benefits from her wonderful videos. A simple thank you will never suffice but it’ll have to do I guess.
I hope you're doing better today than you were 5 or even 9 years ago, friend. I hope getting through the first struggle gave you the strength to conquer any that came after ❤
I usually put ASMR videos on in the background when I do homework or try to fall asleep, but your videos are so captivating I can't help but hang on every word with all my attention. The things you say are so profound and are all the thoughts I'm unable to organize into speech or writing. Every video you upload speaks right to my soul and ends with me either smiling or crying from your authenticity. No exaggeration here when I say I love you and hope you truly are happy.
I just want each you to know that although you haven’t recorded for many years, I so appreciate your leaving your videos up. I listen to this one and your Prufrock video several times a week and they have sustained me through some dark times. I hope and your family are thriving.
Your conundrum about becoming a parent reminds me of the concept of a Philosopher king being the ideal ruler for their very reticence to lead. The fact that you are concerned about being a good parent is the first indicator that you would be a wonderful mother. Your emotional sensitivity and life experiences will help you on that journey. You're so strong and I love how much you're proving those that thought you were vapid to be entirely out to lunch. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your stories. I can relate and I am sure so many others can too.
I admire your honesty despite talking about the troubles that you've been through and are going through and your personal life. That smile makes my heart break because I can see how broken you are even though you want to show the more uplifting happy side. My prayers are always with you ❤❤❤
This video really spoke to me. My mom passed away a little over 2 years ago after fighting cancer and other serious related health issues for 13 years. It's like I've lost a piece of myself and the sting still cuts me down to my soul. Loss has really forced me to reevaluate myself and my life and to start over from scratch. In that, there is a silver lining. Under your sweet voice, I can hear your pain, but you also have immeasurable strength and love. It is brave to share your story, and I just want to send you a huge hug. Wonderful video sweet Spring.
Every time you talk, I can hear you smile. Without even looking at you. That is so rare. And you should pride yourself on that. I'm tremendously in love with your outlook on life. And I'm put at ease when you are talking. Never stop this. You are good at this.
It saddens me because behind that beautiful and perky voice... I can hear your pain. But I'm so proud of you. Because in that pain, I also hear strength beyond words. I hear a young woman who has fought demons that would make gods quiver in fear. And that's not something I hear often anymore. Good video. Better sound. Awesome human being.
Wah! This is from my old ASMR channel! You ever stumbled upon yourself all this time later? Crazy. I tried to come back a few years ago, restart it, but I was NOT expecting to see it here lol
This was beautifully painful, this is one of my favourite pieces of poetry. I am quite fond of the short stories and poetry videos you're creating. Much love xo
Deeply touching and relatable. I've never found a way to put into words what I wanted to do but now I have. I want to learn the art of finding in all it's ways because you're right we get to lots of practice with loss. I'll be keeping what you said in mind about working on finding, finding peace, finding acceptance in myself and others and lastly, forgiveness. Thanks for being so open , honest and raw. Thanks for this Spring.
This video really hit a tender place with me. I've only just recently allowed myself to admit that certain things that happened to me while growing up were not okay. And living with the problems that all of that created has caused many more problems which I'm finally confronting and trying to resolve. Thank for being honest. Thank you for being open. Thank you for being there.
I don't think anyone else has transcended the ASMR concept (genre?) quite like you have, in fact not even close - but that's not a criticism of anyone, you're just extraordinary! I think you must have helped thousands of people to deal with their feelings and experiences, and countless others to just be able to relax for a while. Thank you for both the more light-hearted videos and (especially) these serious ones too
You are such a wise person and there is so much truth in what you talk about and you make it seem so poetic. I came to fall asleep but I learned a lot about life and how we feel as people. Thank you so much! This helps a lot! X
Thank you :) I really don't like having to repeat videos. I like to just close my eyes and listen for a good long while. So I think around an hour can be nice.
Forget that. Jaw dropped by your performance on the poem reading. Wow. I was almost sleeping but I had to go back to the screen to see that. Astonishing!
This is the first ASMR video I've seen that actually dwells on poetry. As a poet, the craft is all too easily overlooked. Poetry is the language of the soul. It's beauty and honesty intertwined. And in your video, that fusion is so evident and clear, and the undercurrent of emotional passion that ebbed through the video was inspiring. Your spoken words touched me, as I try to move people with my written words. Art, held in the hands of genuinely good people, will always be beautiful. Thank you, Spring. I'm new to the channel -but not for long.
It might be therapeutic for you to write some poetry about your Grandmother. Not to be published or shared, even, for that matter. It's a conversation with yourself that folks don't often have. It's helped me through many family and personal crises. Your words almost inspired me to grab my journal and pen a poem that captures your honesty and your words of reflection. Very pure.
ASMR and literature is the greatest single combination in history. And when it's delivered by you it's even better. Thank you Spring. And nice interview at the podcast I really liked it. Your normal voice isn't so different as I expected.
It's always such a treat to open my email and see the notification that you've made a new video! I especially needed it today so thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)
This video was on a more serious note compared to previous videos you've done but you still managed smile a lot in it which takes a lot of doing for what you're going through and i've gone through a similar thing with my grandmother aswell so I do relate to you here. I'm sure you know by now we are all here for you and thanks for the video :)
I felt the same sort of protection urge towards you when you described troubles that you had had in the past. When you talked about that, I felt very nice inside. Thank you for that.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. It has instantly become one of my favorite asmr videos, maybe my favorite video on youtube. It speaks to me on so many different levels. You're so sweet, and amazing at what you do.
Amazing as always. Working day 12 of 21 in a row at an IT Help Desk at my job. Your beautiful, heartfelt, and touching videos are keeping me sane! Your outer beauty belies some real pain, and perhaps thats why I find your videos so intriguing. Thank you for your honesty, and being a strong enough person to re-visit your difficult past and share those experiences with us. It means so much, and helps us all connect together understanding the complexity, but uniformity of the human experience. We all lose things, but learning to lose is one of, if not the hardest things we ever do. Keep up the awesome work. You truly are the BEST Asmr artist out there right now.
It's been... I don't know how many months, I'd say I stopped counting but if I'm honest I never started. But I walked away from my entire family. So tired of how they treat each other. So tired of how they treated me because of how they treat each other. I found this really comforting. Thank you, Spring ❤.
I’m wishing you love and belonging, my friend. There is kindness in the world and I hope you can feel it. Sometimes we build our own families and I hope you can find one that feels like home. 🏠 ❤️❤️❤️
You are such a beautiful soul, you are the embodiment of positivity and all that is good in this world, I just want to give you a hug and feel the bad melt away
I said "YES!" out loud when I saw this in my sub box. I love ASMR readings and especially your insight and discussion of poetry, so wow this could not have been better. Can't wait to listen tonight
I love ASMR, but the fact that it's you who are making this, make's me love it a lot more. I can stare at you and fall asleep with your soft and soothing voice. Thank you for choosing making videos. Keep it going. You have a subscriber 'till the end. And that's no disaster. :)
I'll be going abroad for the last few months of the year, so this may be the last time in 2014 I'll be able to listen to you... But what a wonderful capstone to our first year together! Your confessions are so familiar I feel as if I could have made them myself. I have a huge amount to consider in the coming days and your influence has concretely helped in ways so specific I can't begin to relate them
Shoutout to the ad being a super chill acoustic guitar tune and pictures of beautiful landscapes instead of the usual loud and annoying pop music advert or something
I really really really, loved your hair in this video. Kind of a new look, and I loved it. Yes the ASMR aspect of it was amazing. I fell asleep in five mins. So peaceful. You have the voice of an angel.
This was beautiful. You are amazing and really brighten up my day with each of your amazing videos. I love your philosophy and love what you are doing for others! Keep up the great, amazing work!
I've been a subscriber for awhile now and somehow never came across this video but I can honestly say that this is very touching video. I am from an extremely alpha male job and I feel like a lot of people especially men have trouble being "real" like you were in this video. Even if it is just TH-cam it's extremely refreshing to hear someone just be REAL....
This poem was one of the first i studied while getting my degree. You read it beautifully. Such a simple, yet intriguing, poem. Love your videos, Spring! :)
Oh wow what a coincidence! We just read this poem the other day in my Creative Writing course. It really kinda hit me hard in the middle of class, though. I recently lost a very close person. A girl I've known for about 7 years, and have loved for five of those years. She didn't die, no. We were together and everything sort of just, well, fell apart. I won't go into detail because no one cares and this isn't the place for it lol. But yeah. It still hurts. It's been almost a month and I miss her so much. But I know I can't go back to her really. Not yet, at least. It hurts too much. Thank you for the video, Spring.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family. I know it may be hard at times and that you might feel lost. Keep your head up and never stop looking for the positives.
I would love it if you could read more poetry! Maybe from a book full of them? I loved this so much! Your voice and the way you read is amazing and I love it. Truly.
This video was really sad, but it reminded me of something good: love is always eternal. Even though loved ones may be lost, even if their "matter" disappears, their love and the effect they had on the world will always remain.
I had a really stressful week last week, I watched your book flip video and OMG! that was the strongest ASMR I've ever felt, I was almost comatose haha. The playlist rolled into the next video and I was literally powerless to do anything, it was amazing! Thank you so much Spring :D
Springbok, having been through some emotional traumas of my own, this video was deep. It hit home for me in a way. Not really the poetry, but the part where you talk about forgiveness. That is something I've struggled with. I can relate to alot of this.
you're voice is soooo amazing! it's always tingles the last bit out of my head haha. never experienced this before by any other asmr "artist" here. always a big joy when you upload a new video :)
Seen a few of your vids.. Usually they help me sleep but,this one was different I couldn't help but listen and think! Whoa.. Deep stuff honestly i can relate on a few of those topics so i feel you..really glad i found your page.Keep your spirit up & keep helping others, keep thiers.. Peace and blessings .. Stay perky n quirky
You have a wonderful turn of phrase, you use the English language beautifully! Great poem choice too. I always take a lot away from your videos. So, thank you.
2020 and every little topic you touched on this video is hitting hard plus I looove this poem. Not sure you'll ever see this comment but I appreciate you so much, thank you! Tons of love and a big HOLA from Mexico City! :)
Thank you for posting this. It's good to discuss things like this, but keep in mind that forgiveness is for you, not for them. Not forgiving someone doesn't hurt the other person. You could live your whole live holding a grudge, and the person you hold that grudge against may not even know. Holding a grudge is allowing someone to continue to victimize you. You don't want to be sitting at home being mad about something that happened decades ago while the person who mistreated or abused you could be out doing something awesome and may not even remember you. I'm not saying forget, but it's important for you(not for them) to forgive.
I can relate to this commentary as I've dealt an abusive father and the passing of many good friends during childhood to adolescence. Through isolation in adulthood and avoiding things I probably should have faced and come to terms with early on I find that nostalgia is quite painful at times. I try and write poetry to alleviate negative thoughts and I think of all I have written this washes away the fear & uncertainty of the future tense. ''Some say that at night when the tide is right, you can walk through the fog and inside of memories. By night with torch and spear he walked into the windy shore anticipating the collective past. An altogether ache of the heart and the realisation there is not another start. He thought to himself "wouldn't it be awful if at the end of your life you discover there wasn't anything worth losing it for?" Sometimes we don't realize when the dream comes true... Just as he turned away and from afar above the sea horizon you could see those moments in time slowly manifest and dissipate like ghost ships sailing fata morgana.''
My grandma towards the end of her life had a mild case of dementia. When we pass on from this earth we can't take our possessions or memories with us. It can be a humbling thought. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for another incredible vid, Spring! You continue to be the best ASMRtist with intelligent, heart-felt conversation. You brighten up this dreary Pacific Northwest day! ^_^
Oh, also, I have zero expertise in poetry rhyme schemes or anything, but the way you chose to read it was great. And it just seems like a wonderfully well constructed poem anyway.
omg that's so amazing at the beginning of the video just as u said its raining outside it started raining here too! and im all the way here in new zealand lol anyways amazing video as always! i became a fan of poetry through your videos! love love loved! the video so much. i am really hoping u would do a Halloween role play!
I came to a point in my life when forgiveness wasn't even an issue. We're all just blundering through here on this little blue dot. If someone has hurt you, it is likely that they themselves were not acting freely. Not in control. If that person is, or was, worthy of our love, then we can still be in relationship. If that person is, or was, not worthy of our love, then we can walk away. As for the hurt itself, if it works on us to make us more truly human, more empathetic to all the sorrows, we can embrace it, in a way. Ah, yes, all the necessary losses! Thank you for this tender video.
My grandmother is going through dementia and she asks me "How's school?" constantly. She can reply to questions and statements but she can't hold a conversation. She's still happy and laughs a lot but she can't retain any memory since she started having symptoms. My grandfather had Alzheimer's which was so incredibly sad. Alzheimer's is my only fear in life. Whether it's me who get's it or my dad, it is the most painful thing to experience. Stay strong and always cherish and support your family.
I wish I knew you in real life. I feel that way about many people, I guess, but I don't necessarily mention it so blatantly. Telling you that I find you important enough to want to know is probably the biggest compliment I'll ever be able to give. Thanks for your vids, hon, and have a great day :)
Thank you for sharing that with us. I have to admit, it was pretty cryptic at times, but I understand some things we probably shouldn't know. Mystery can be a lot of fun, anyway. In a way, I enjoyed the vulnerability. It's real. Wish you the best on this strange journey.
You remind me of my highschool English teacher. You speak so articulately and your voice is so soothing ^.^ Although my teacher was a bit more vexed when I feel asleep in class...
I may never be ready to forgive completely things from my past, but I am thankful to be coming to a space in my mind where I can move away from vengeance.
So wonderful Ms. Bok. Two small things that would really make this better. - Reverse the audio - A little louder so that it sounds great with headphones on Thank you so much for putting out these videos ^ _ ^
Thank you for all the love, you lovely, lovely love beasts. I wanted to make sure to let you know that I know about the audio issues, and, as I said in my description, they should be fixed in all future videos. And a huge thank you to everyone who gave audio advice! And next time, I will be sure to flip the sound for your listening pleasure.
ASMattR is my audio hero!
This spoke to me in....more ways then you can know Nichole.Thank you for being here.A quote from Mark Twain,that is always in my head,which is. "Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.” Have a lovely day.
-Jer.
Thank you for the name drop, Spring! I'm more than happy to lend a helping hand to someone as generous as you, and that's on top of the number of times you've helped me sleep or just chill out :D Can't wait to see what you do with the new settings!
So uhhh... how's that whole "not having a baby" thing going? Lmao (proud of you, Mama, keep up the good work, loving your come back.)
5 years ago this video got me through one of the hardest times in my life, and 5 years later I am still listening to it, through good times and bad. I know you’ve been off TH-cam for several years now but if you still read comments, I want you to know that I am so grateful for the content you produced and the stories you shared with us.

This is my favorite video of yours to date. It's beautiful from start to finish and really spoke to me.
Thank you so much for being so honest and raw.
"If we never lost, we'd never find" This was probably one of the most inspiring thing I've ever heard. Thank you so much.
I admire your honesty despite talking about the troubles that you've been through and are going through and your personal life. That smile makes my heart break because I can see how broken you are even though you want to show the more uplifting happy side. My prayers are always with you ❤❤❤
I had forgotten how good Springbok's videos made me feel. They're exactly what I need right now.
The world would be a better place if there were more people like you, thank you.
This video really spoke to me. My mom passed away a little over 2 years ago after fighting cancer and other serious related health issues for 13 years. It's like I've lost a piece of myself and the sting still cuts me down to my soul. Loss has really forced me to reevaluate myself and my life and to start over from scratch.

These kinds of personal videos must take a great deal of courage, so thank you for sharing this Spring. I wish you every happiness for the future.
Every time you talk, I can hear you smile. Without even looking at you. That is so rare. And you should pride yourself on that. I'm tremendously in love with your outlook on life. And I'm put at ease when you are talking. Never stop this. You are good at this.

This actually made me cry--happy cry. Thank you very, very much.
Springbok ASMR No, spring, thank YOU :)
Good guy Capt'. We salute you.
Wah! This is from my old ASMR channel! You ever stumbled upon yourself all this time later? Crazy. I tried to come back a few years ago, restart it, but I was NOT expecting to see it here lol
First a Captain, then a Cranefly, now a Hyena. Always a fan, regardless of form ❤
This was beautifully painful, this is one of my favourite pieces of poetry. I am quite fond of the short stories and poetry videos you're creating. Much love xo
Deeply touching and relatable. I've never found a way to put into words what I wanted to do but now I have.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this video of yours up until now! One art is one of my all time favorite poems. So, so, so good!
This video is a big big facet in my recovery. Big Eureka moment on the whole "you don't have to forgive everyone". I am so so grateful for this video.
The fact: Springbok's poetry heals your soul. Thank you Nichole!
Thank YOU, Count Stangula.
Clever ;)
Springbok ASMR Hmmm... I always wondered, why can't I see myself in the mirror... ;)
I like the fact that majority of your videos are long and you are consistent with your videos. More content = win
Thank you :) I really don't like having to repeat videos. I like to just close my eyes and listen for a good long while. So I think around an hour can be nice.
Forget that. Jaw dropped by your performance on the poem reading. Wow. I was almost sleeping but I had to go back to the screen to see that. Astonishing!
You should do a poem channel. TH-cam lacks this kind of thing.
Wow !! The passion and intensity that you had while reading the poem... Just wow !!
This is the first ASMR video I've seen that actually dwells on poetry. As a poet, the craft is all too easily overlooked. Poetry is the language of the soul. It's beauty and honesty intertwined.

There's nothing I look forward to in a day more than your amazing videos!
I really really really, loved your hair in this video. Kind of a new look, and I loved it. Yes the ASMR aspect of it was amazing. I fell asleep in five mins. So peaceful. You have the voice of an angel.
You are like the amazing big sister I never had, I'm the oldest in my family, your caring, nurturing demeanour is simply amazing
I would love more poetry and commentary videos like this! You are awesome!
This was beautiful. You are amazing and really brighten up my day with each of your amazing videos. I love your philosophy and love what you are doing for others! Keep up the great, amazing work!

Making the world a better place, one video at a time. ty. xo

A girl I've known for about 7 years, and have loved for five of those years. She didn't die, no. We were together and everything sort of just, well, fell apart. I won't go into detail because no one cares and this isn't the place for it lol. But yeah. It still hurts. It's been almost a month and I miss her so much. But I know I can't go back to her really. Not yet, at least. It hurts too much. Thank you for the video, Spring.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family. I know it may be hard at times and that you might feel lost. Keep your head up and never stop looking for the positives.
I would love it if you could read more poetry! Maybe from a book full of them? I loved this so much! Your voice and the way you read is amazing and I love it. Truly.
I could feel all the love you were sending and it brought a tear to my eye.
This video was really sad, but it reminded me of something good: love is always eternal. Even though loved ones may be lost, even if their "matter" disappears, their love and the effect they had on the world will always remain.
Thank you so much for this- Elizabeth Bishop is my favorite poet! I especially love At the Fish Houses and Filling Station.
I had a really stressful week last week, I watched your book flip video and OMG! that was the strongest ASMR I've ever felt, I was almost comatose haha. The playlist rolled into the next video and I was literally powerless to do anything, it was amazing! Thank you so much Spring :D
You are a gem and this is a gem. Keep up the good work!
Always such perfect timing :) sound quality sounds a little better than usual too :) loving the great work keep it up :D
Springbok, having been through some emotional traumas of my own, this video was deep. It hit home for me in a way. Not really the poetry, but the part where you talk about forgiveness. That is something I've struggled with. I can relate to alot of this.
you're voice is soooo amazing! it's always tingles the last bit out of my head haha. never experienced this before by any other asmr "artist" here.
always a big joy when you upload a new video :)
cutest line I've ever heard
"i have small hands and i can't really hold much. So i try not to hold grudges."
Seen a few of your vids.. Usually they help me sleep but,this one was different I couldn't help but listen and think! Whoa.. Deep stuff honestly i can relate on a few of those topics so i feel you..really glad i found your page.Keep your spirit up & keep helping others, keep thiers.. Peace and blessings .. Stay perky n quirky
This was so so so wonderful Springbok,thank you
My Mom and our Family are fighting the loosing battle with dementia
Thank you endlessly for leaving your videos up
you are so gifted, and a gift to others :-) lovely words in this.
You have a wonderful turn of phrase, you use the English language beautifully! Great poem choice too.
I always take a lot away from your videos. So, thank you.
2020 and every little topic you touched on this video is hitting hard plus I looove this poem. Not sure you'll ever see this comment but I appreciate you so much, thank you! Tons of love and a big HOLA from Mexico City! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love this video, thanks again 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽😴😴😴😴
I love your videos. Your voice is so calming! :) the stories are my fave
Thank you for posting this. It's good to discuss things like this, but keep in mind that forgiveness is for you, not for them. Not forgiving someone doesn't hurt the other person. You could live your whole live holding a grudge, and the person you hold that grudge against may not even know. Holding a grudge is allowing someone to continue to victimize you. You don't want to be sitting at home being mad about something that happened decades ago while the person who mistreated or abused you could be out doing something awesome and may not even remember you. I'm not saying forget, but it's important for you(not for them) to forgive.
Oh how I love it when a new video comes out just as I'm about to hit the bed :D
Sleep tight!
Emotional, Powerful, Amazing!! Thank You so much for sharing.
I can relate to this commentary as I've dealt an abusive father and the passing of many good friends during childhood to adolescence. Through isolation in adulthood and avoiding things I probably should have faced and come to terms with early on I find that nostalgia is quite painful at times. I try and write poetry to alleviate negative thoughts and I think of all I have written this washes away the fear & uncertainty of the future tense. ''Some say that at night when the tide is right, you can walk through the fog and inside of memories. By night with torch and spear he walked into the windy shore anticipating the collective past. An altogether ache of the heart and the realisation there is not another start. He thought to himself "wouldn't it be awful if at the end of your life you discover there wasn't anything worth losing it for?" Sometimes we don't realize when the dream comes true... Just as he turned away and from afar above the sea horizon you could see those moments in time slowly manifest and dissipate like ghost ships sailing fata morgana.''
My grandma towards the end of her life had a mild case of dementia. When we pass on from this earth we can't take our possessions or memories with us. It can be a humbling thought. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for another incredible vid, Spring! You continue to be the best ASMRtist with intelligent, heart-felt conversation. You brighten up this dreary Pacific Northwest day! ^_^
you have no idea how much this has helped me
ohh spring, I love your videos ^^ And this is beautiful vid as usual!! thankss...
Another wonderful asmr experience. Can't thank you enough Spring :)
Oh, also, I have zero expertise in poetry rhyme schemes or anything, but the way you chose to read it was great. And it just seems like a wonderfully well constructed poem anyway.
We love when you share your heart with us.
omg that's so amazing at the beginning of the video just as u said its raining outside it started raining here too! and im all the way here in new zealand lol anyways amazing video as always! i became a fan of poetry through your videos! love love loved! the video so much. i am really hoping u would do a Halloween role play!
I came to a point in my life when forgiveness wasn't even an issue. We're all just blundering through here on this little blue dot. If someone has hurt you, it is likely that they themselves were not acting freely. Not in control. If that person is, or was, worthy of our love, then we can still be in relationship. If that person is, or was, not worthy of our love, then we can walk away. As for the hurt itself, if it works on us to make us more truly human, more empathetic to all the sorrows, we can embrace it, in a way. Ah, yes, all the necessary losses! Thank you for this tender video.
She's not the hero that we need right now, but the hero that we deserve. A silent guardian, a watchful protector. Springbok. Lol.
You said this so wrong... But the point was good
LOOOOOL
Hit very very close to home. Made me cry. :( But lovely all the same/love the poem.
You're a gift to the world.
Thanks for your lovely voice :) can't wait to see the teacher's serie !
Thank you! I promise it will be soon :D
Springbok ASMR cool :D
YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO SOFT AND PRETTY!!! O I WISH MY HAIR COULD LOOK LIKE THAT!
My grandmother is going through dementia and she asks me "How's school?" constantly. She can reply to questions and statements but she can't hold a conversation. She's still happy and laughs a lot but she can't retain any memory since she started having symptoms. My grandfather had Alzheimer's which was so incredibly sad. Alzheimer's is my only fear in life. Whether it's me who get's it or my dad, it is the most painful thing to experience. Stay strong and always cherish and support your family.
I wish I knew you in real life. I feel that way about many people, I guess, but I don't necessarily mention it so blatantly. Telling you that I find you important enough to want to know is probably the biggest compliment I'll ever be able to give. Thanks for your vids, hon, and have a great day :)
I wish I could be more honest like you... You are to be admired.
Thank you for sharing that with us. I have to admit, it was pretty cryptic at times, but I understand some things we probably shouldn't know. Mystery can be a lot of fun, anyway. In a way, I enjoyed the vulnerability. It's real.
Wish you the best on this strange journey.
Nichole what you said at around 37-39 min mark just want to say I do relate and thank you for speaking up
Hope one day I can forgive xxxx
3:51. I'm crying! Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
You remind me of my highschool English teacher. You speak so articulately and your voice is so soothing ^.^ Although my teacher was a bit more vexed when I feel asleep in class...
Woo a new video! I've been having withdrawal...
I may never be ready to forgive completely things from my past, but I am thankful to be coming to a space in my mind where I can move away from vengeance.
So wonderful Ms. Bok. Two small things that would really make this better.
- Reverse the audio
- A little louder so that it sounds great with headphones on
Thank you so much for putting out these videos ^ _ ^
Yeah, it's slightly disorienting watching her head on the left with the audio in the right and vice versa.
xboxpro97 If possible, you could just flip your headphones around.
Hmm, there's very little saturation in the right channel overall... Not sure what's up with that.
Thanks for this wonderful video! You gave me a little life lesson! :)
Some really beautiful sentiments in this one.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on one of Emily Dickinson's poems. She's my favourite poet along with Sylvia Plath and Elizabeth Bishop.
