I wanted to thank you Lucy, this year in uni was extremely stressful and your videos helped so much. Realizing that somebody as mature and intelligent as you also sometimes struggled to be happy made me feel better about myself. I admire you a lot. Xx from Paris.
Is this the month of TH-camr's going through a youtube-mid-life-crisis/ motivational slump or what? Dodie, you, and myself have been feeling the same. It's shit and it IS scary ESPECIALLY when you are a content creator. I feel it. Here's to hoping we can lift ourselves out of our slumps and stand a bit taller at the end of it all. Wishing you nothing but the best xx
I swear that the scene with the sound of the knife while saying "so let's say where I am at now" it's worth the whole video "I'm still sad but I'm still growing." you changed so much Lucy, and this is a wonderful thing. ♡
thank you lucy. i've been having a really rough time since my nan died and my friends are going through their own things so they don't have time for me. listening to you talk about your feelings really helped my mood. thank you so much for this video.
I love how genuine you are with your content. A huge part about breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness and similar issues is talking about it and seeing role models like yourself who we can look up to and relate to. Thank you for being you
lucy. your voice is just ASMR. I felt the need to relay that to you. also the more I watched this I realized how much it's like my uncertainty vid I just posted a couple days ago. I can totally relate to being scared of the uncertainty of a creative career in general. I have two art degrees but they literally mean nothing (in the eyes of economics/finances). they mean everything to me as an artist, but career wise, it is so stressful! thanks for your kind words, lucy!
For some reason, the way you talk and your body language is just incredibly calming to me. Went through a hella lot of rejection and failure today, so watching you think through a couple things has helped me at least start on my own processing. So, for that thank you. I'm incredibly thankful for this channel and for you. It just feels incredibly relevant and real and reassuring to me. And also I get EXACTLY what you mean about feeling like a completely different person compared to you 5 months ago.
I used to write. I filled two notebooks and a half with a book I was trying to finish before graduating high school. But entered uni to study a career I thought I wouldn't hate and I stopped. I felt like no matter what I did, I wasn't able to gain control over my life. I was working at my family's company in this field I've come to hate and only now, that I stopped trying to convince myself that I actually enjoy it and slowly re-integrating the habits that made me happy, I feel like myself again. It has taken me five years to do that and hearing you talk about things that I relate to really helps. Not sure where I'm going with this but I really enjoy these type of videos so thank you for posting it.
i once watched a video of yours because i felt like im gonna have a panic attack and it calmed me down so quickly! its something about your voice thats so soothing to me. thanks for that lucy
I really like listening to your advice and self-awareness. You are human like everyone else and sometimes, bad days do get the best of us. As you said, "Life is weird..." and I completely agree. It is and just being honest with yourself and others, is like so helpful. Keep your head up and keep following your dreams Miss Lucy. I believe you will get far!
I can understand your relationships with alcohol so much. What you say and how you see it is exactly what is going on with me. You're not the only one in that. And I really wish you luck and motivation. Love you, Lucy
Dear Lucy, I completely get where you're coming from and you're not alone. I can't drink for medical reasons and it's frustrating because that seems to be all 16 year-olds get together to do! But I do hope you find a circle of people who you can do other things with more often and feel more fulfilled in what you're doing soon. x
this was so refreshing to watch. something about the aura of this video was just so put together and liberating because it was honest. for some reason i felt tense watching your videos from the past - it felt like you were hiding something or restricting yourself. idk man i just really vibed with this.
i love cooking as it is a way for me to get things off my chest and out of my mind without direct conversation. love this video and love your work! your voice is calming
So you might not read this but let me say... i am so so proud and so thankful and so in love with you. Watching your everyday videos on April made me so happy and you became a very important part of my day and you're the only youtuber that i watch so every time you post a new video it just makes my day and i feel so happy about my self for some reason everything you talk about and everything you do makes me so happy. Thank you lucy.
Lucy I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you're right at the cusp of finding what will make you feel fulfilled and happy again and I'm so pleased that you're sharing that with us! I'm also really excited that it involves music! ❤
It's interesting that you talk about this stuff in the context of preferring to stay single for the moment. A nice reminder that we all have deeply complex lives and we should all just drop the soppy romantic stuff and just be there for people.
I think 100 days is incredible. Well done! Don't beat yourself up for slip-ups. Concentrate on the positive. And always allow yourself to change in whatever way, if you feel it's for the best. If you have a better relationship with alcohol now, that's a really great step.
Been here since 2012! I remember you as meowitslucy that mightn't have been that long ago idk, I actually started watching you because I was subscribed to your tumblr, crazy! I've loved seeing you grow as a person and you are such an interesting person I can't wait to see what you do ❤️
I just love your videos and i mean, it's just you just talking about yourself and i don't even know you but a love it. I think that we all have to embrece the gift of the changing. Thanks for do what you do.
I kinda get you when you mentioned how you've changed over the last couple of months. I stumbled upon your channel around september last year and would occasionally check in on what you were making but was never fully gripped by you. But these last couple of months I've been loving your raw and genuine content and have officially subscribed. Keep it up you! :)
I'm so pleased that you have such a connection to your channel that you want your content to represent where you are at emotionally in your life. I think that is so very important thing to do, and I don't think would have got it until I started my own channel. I make videos about my disability and books I love, and I think making TH-cam videos is like putting a little bit of your soul on the internet. I make videos because I was feeling lonely and wanted to do something about it, and am so very proud of you that you haven't lost your authenticity despite relying on this as your income. Hugs and best wishes, love your content to the moon (hehe!) and back. Xx
I've been subscribed for years and it's been great to see you grow and change, I'll see sad t see some of your old videos go, but I'm glad you've worked out what's right for you :)
This sort of video is really nice, and it makes everything seem so down to earth. I love the cooking and chats aspect! Thank you for all the incredible work you put into this youtube channel, and your channel is the sole reason GCSEs have been bearable! Keep it up! (I also realise I used way too many exclamation marks in that, but whatever)
Ahh you make me want to go out and DO STUFF and MAKE THINGS and BE GOOD. Your videos always make me feel this way. It's like they squeeze my heart to reinvigorate and reenergise me! Thanks.
i've been loving your videos lately. i just feel like youtubers grow more and more fake these days and with you it's the complete opposite. keep on keeping it real xxx
"no OGs around here anymore" lel hi as soon as my best friend said to me that I may like you, I spent an entire holidays worth of spare time binge watching BOTH of your channels from start to finish ngl you were wonderfully awkward and relatable as a teen and now you are my mental health goddess, my style influencer, my safe getaway space, just everything. Keep being Lucy, however that looks to you x
Gosh this reminds me of your old cooking vids, there was like two, but they were so good!!! I really struggle to watch TH-camrs just do an "update on my life" sort of vid, but really enjoyed the fact you were cooking, felt like I was sitting at the table chatting 😊
I found you today as The Anna Edit had liked your videos. I've only watched two of your videos and I love you ❤️ you're so honest and open and I love that.
I've stuck around for about 4 years, looks like I just missed the cut for being an OG follower though. Haha. I discovered your videos when I started my first year at uni and now I'm getting ready to graduate at the end of this year. Thanks for virtually being around. :)
You said you'd make more music before and my body ready lol your voice is so nice and I'd love to hear more from you!!! Also, change is good, growth is good, understanding/learning things about yourself is good and I'm glad you've acquired these things. Cant wait to see more from you. Love from Bangladesh 💕 edit: you could have told us about your trip to paris lol i follow you on ig and saw pictures and stuff
its really interesting that you mentioned changing within the last 6 months, i hope you its okay for me to say but i feel like you've become a lot more real, genuine, relaxed in your own being hence why I only subbed recently and not before, love your videos btw xxx
glad you're ok ^^. just to kind of conversate:1)videos are yours, it's your decision to take them down.2)money, main trigger of my anxiety, i don't know how the world does it. 3)don't really have any help on alchol sphere, i stop myself from drinking or using any substances cause i know i would probably become addicted to them, since when i get drunk 100% of the time is throw up can't talk drunk, glad you are facing it so well tho
*absolutely not,but I LOVE English So much,my listening skill is very good* *On the other hand,in my country no one speaks English as a first language* *Consequently, If you don't mind,i'd like to speak with you at least 15 minutes a day in order to improve my English speaking skill*
That was such a nice, "normal" video! I felt like I was with you in the kitchen, watching you cook. I hope you save your videos for yourself. I tend to throw away my writing (diary-like) when I feel I wrote sth stupid and not relatable anymore, but after moths or years I regret it, because whatever freaking shit was in there, it was my emotions and statements and it's still important, even if only to see how I changed.
I'm going into my junior year of high school and I'm a mess. I know that I'm still a teenager but I'm worried about getting into college and figuring out what I want to do. I feel so overwhelmed. I really, really enjoy art and art history but I also like literature and world history also I really fancy science and being outside. I've thought about being a photojournalist, scientist, art historian, librarian and a teacher but I can't decide what I want to go to school for. Ive been overeating to kind of get my head off of these things but that doesn't seem to be helping. I'm worried I'll keep paying money on education but I'll keep changing my major and end up in debt. Your videos always make me feel better. Don't be so hard on yourself, you are doing great and I'm so proud of you on your journey of abstaining from alcohol! much love! xoxoxo
*hugs* It's definitely super normal to feel overwhelmed, but knowing what you're interested in (even if it's a bunch of seemingly unrelated things) is actually a great start for beginning to figure out what you want for your future. You don't need to know what you're going to major in right away AT ALL, and the first couple of years of college can actually be an amazing opportunity to try out lots of different electives and narrow down what really clicks with and invigorates you and what slowly kills your soul. I'm definitely consistently also a mess, but changing my major has so far been my best college-related decision (albeit the most terrifying one) since my decision to randomly take "Ichthyology" just for the heck of it. And no matter how many times you have to re-remind yourself of it (as I constantly do), there is nothing wrong with taking more time to graduate or taking a break altogether to experience other things and/or figure things out. Your story is your own and doesn't need to fit anyone else's timeline, and your health and happiness and self-care should always be a priority. And debt and college costs suck, BUT there are lots of scholarships and grants out there to help you! Best of luck! I'm already proud of you. (Also all of the careers you've contemplated so far sound awesome.) :)
I remember the first video of yours I watched was when you had a fringe and you were talking about confidence (appearance wise) and I think you said you didn't have a big mirror anymore, only a small one for doing makeup and how that contributed to you feeling better about yourself and not focusing so much on your appearance?? Something like that? I've been subscribed since, and it's amazing to see how much you've grown. I am always so so excited when I see there's a new vid from you. Can't wait to see all the cool shit you will do, you'll be ok Lucy!!
Please do make a series out of your not-drinking journey! I'm going back and forth between sobriety (a year and a half) and drinking... went all out for about a month and realize I seriously need a break again. It's tough to find that happy middle ground...
I enjoyed this! I also appreciate that you want to stay true to yourself. I don't have a set schedule rn as I'm searching for a job, and I crave it so bad, so, I totally get where you are coming from.
This might not help when your going through bwing unmotivated by your job but your channel is my absolute favorite on youtube. Your channel feels so honest and welcoming. I love your just sit down and chat vlogs, I love your 168 hours, I love your artsy videos, I love these kind of videos and your live streams where it feels kinda like we're just having a friendly chat while your cooking and eating and I absolutely adore your music and when you do music videos. But tbh what I love most about your channel is that you can mix all these different types of videos and it never feels like its not 'you'. I hope you find something that makes you passionate about youtube again but until then I hope that knowing that you channel is enjoyed, admired and an inspiration to your followers, not because of anything else than that you have a great way of making content that connects with people regardless of if its a chat while cooking or artsy 168 hours, I hope that helps some while finding your way again. Its totally your choice to private some of your videos. Your channel should feel like 'you' and your followers will support your journey to make your channel feel more like you for yourself!
i feel like we're sitting in a treehouse at 1 am during a sleepover after eating a lot of candy and watching some movies and we're so tired but we just enjoy each other's company so much and we're staying up and talking about what's on our mind and also we're so full but we just want to cook more things so we sneak down to the kitchen and cook some risotto and spill our guts and honest feelings oh yes pls
thoroughly enjoyed this
thanks babe
doddleoddle I love your friendship ! let me join :) hhaa

Change is one of the most fundamental human experiences.
Please,Are you a native English speaker??
why d'you ask? I'm not and I'm wondering if there's something wrong w/ this...?
Elle Belle there's nothing wrong with it, I don't know why they asked.
Thanks! Are you a native English speaker? ;)
dear Lucy, I'm watching (more like listening) this while studying for finals after a disgustingly lazy guilty day. thanks for helping me get saner.
Shelly Bahng good luck on your finals!
Shelly Bahng Good luck
Shelly Bahng good luck💪🏼
I enjoy listening to you talk about your life problems and stuff. It's nice for me to know I'm not the only one.
Definitely not the only one! It's so calming and reassuring!
"paster and sadness." i love so much the extra r british people add. i need to figure out when to do that
its whenever there are two vowels right next to each other
notgraceful thanks!!! now I'll know what to listen for
high key came for a risotto recipe but im not complaining
sorry pal

+simply_kenna it must be something in the air! Wishing you luck on getting through it 💕
simply_kenna Love you both sm and I hope this phase will pass soon💞
I swear that the scene with the sound of the knife while saying "so let's say where I am at now" it's worth the whole video
"I'm still sad but I'm still growing."
you changed so much Lucy, and this is a wonderful thing.
♡
thank you lucy. i've been having a really rough time since my nan died and my friends are going through their own things so they don't have time for me. listening to you talk about your feelings really helped my mood. thank you so much for this video.
I love how genuine you are with your content. A huge part about breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness and similar issues is talking about it and seeing role models like yourself who we can look up to and relate to. Thank you for being you
Honestly these 'intimate videos' are why I like this channel.
lucy. your voice is just ASMR. I felt the need to relay that to you. also the more I watched this I realized how much it's like my uncertainty vid I just posted a couple days ago. I can totally relate to being scared of the uncertainty of a creative career in general. I have two art degrees but they literally mean nothing (in the eyes of economics/finances). they mean everything to me as an artist, but career wise, it is so stressful! thanks for your kind words, lucy!
the colours in this are so pleasing!!! well edited!
For some reason, the way you talk and your body language is just incredibly calming to me.

A new Lucy video makes Sunday a whole lot better:)

saw you in London and felt awkward to say hi, but it genuinely made my day✨
i once watched a video of yours because i felt like im gonna have a panic attack and it calmed me down so quickly! its something about your voice thats so soothing to me. thanks for that lucy
I really like listening to your advice and self-awareness. You are human like everyone else and sometimes, bad days do get the best of us. As you said, "Life is weird..." and I completely agree. It is and just being honest with yourself and others, is like so helpful. Keep your head up and keep following your dreams Miss Lucy. I believe you will get far!
the sound of the mushrooms hitting the pan was weirdly satisfying
Please keep making the intimate videos I LAV THEM SO MUCH it makes me feel less alone
I love listening to you talk
I have a very stressful week ahead of me and just lying in bed and watching this helps calm down a bit
I really liked how we like put on the table it felt like I was genuinely sat at the table with you? You get me?
I can understand your relationships with alcohol so much. What you say and how you see it is exactly what is going on with me. You're not the only one in that. And I really wish you luck and motivation. Love you, Lucy
oh gosh I love this. it's so peaceful watching u talk and cook at same time. plz do more of those
Dear Lucy, I completely get where you're coming from and you're not alone. I can't drink for medical reasons and it's frustrating because that seems to be all 16 year-olds get together to do! But I do hope you find a circle of people who you can do other things with more often and feel more fulfilled in what you're doing soon. x
The level of honesty in this video is so refreshing, love love love this vid x
this was so refreshing to watch. something about the aura of this video was just so put together and liberating because it was honest. for some reason i felt tense watching your videos from the past - it felt like you were hiding something or restricting yourself. idk man i just really vibed with this.

It's interesting that you talk about this stuff in the context of preferring to stay single for the moment. A nice reminder that we all have deeply complex lives and we should all just drop the soppy romantic stuff and just be there for people.
I love putting in my headphones and watching ur channel until I fall asleep ... It makes me wake up in a good mood
I think 100 days is incredible. Well done! Don't beat yourself up for slip-ups. Concentrate on the positive. And always allow yourself to change in whatever way, if you feel it's for the best. If you have a better relationship with alcohol now, that's a really great step.
Yes, it is. I'm glad you're figuring out what works for you, and not letting your past work define your future endeavors.
Been here since 2012! I remember you as meowitslucy that mightn't have been that long ago idk, I actually started watching you because I was subscribed to your tumblr, crazy! I've loved seeing you grow as a person and you are such an interesting person I can't wait to see what you do ❤️
chicken and stuffing sandwiches are the world most underrated sandwich
All the support for growing and changing and not being scared of doing so!

I love risotto man

I've stuck around for about 4 years, looks like I just missed the cut for being an OG follower though. Haha. I discovered your videos when I started my first year at uni and now I'm getting ready to graduate at the end of this year. Thanks for virtually being around. :)

Don't stop the intimate talks they are the best thing!

I really love your personal chats 💕 Thanks for sharing!
its really interesting that you mentioned changing within the last 6 months, i hope you its okay for me to say but i feel like you've become a lot more real, genuine, relaxed in your own being hence why I only subbed recently and not before, love your videos btw xxx

I'm definitely consistently also a mess, but changing my major has so far been my best college-related decision (albeit the most terrifying one) since my decision to randomly take "Ichthyology" just for the heck of it.
And no matter how many times you have to re-remind yourself of it (as I constantly do), there is nothing wrong with taking more time to graduate or taking a break altogether to experience other things and/or figure things out. Your story is your own and doesn't need to fit anyone else's timeline, and your health and happiness and self-care should always be a priority.
And debt and college costs suck, BUT there are lots of scholarships and grants out there to help you!
Best of luck! I'm already proud of you. (Also all of the careers you've contemplated so far sound awesome.) :)
don't worry, your 1 am youtube video equals a nice 7 pm vid for me xx
I remember the first video of yours I watched was when you had a fringe and you were talking about confidence (appearance wise) and I think you said you didn't have a big mirror anymore, only a small one for doing makeup and how that contributed to you feeling better about yourself and not focusing so much on your appearance?? Something like that? I've been subscribed since, and it's amazing to see how much you've grown. I am always so so excited when I see there's a new vid from you. Can't wait to see all the cool shit you will do, you'll be ok Lucy!!
I'm sad to hear you're taking down your older videos, but if that makes you happier I wholeheartedly support it (:
Please do make a series out of your not-drinking journey! I'm going back and forth between sobriety (a year and a half) and drinking... went all out for about a month and realize I seriously need a break again. It's tough to find that happy middle ground...
Honestly I'm a little disappointed, I wanted more action shots of the risotto making
Same!!
love this kind of chatty video! super lovely! thanks!!
been here for two years at least, love the channel
Mushroom risotto as comfort food? Daym I wish that was my comfort food and not a giant share pack of peanut M&M's.
i missed this type of videos from you. really enjoyed
I enjoyed this! I also appreciate that you want to stay true to yourself.
I don't have a set schedule rn as I'm searching for a job, and I crave it so bad, so, I totally get where you are coming from.
This is the sort of video that I really like. I feel like Lucy had us over for a chat.
I don't really know how but this video sort of made me happy? Thanks for sharing!
This might not help when your going through bwing unmotivated by your job but your channel is my absolute favorite on youtube. Your channel feels so honest and welcoming. I love your just sit down and chat vlogs, I love your 168 hours, I love your artsy videos, I love these kind of videos and your live streams where it feels kinda like we're just having a friendly chat while your cooking and eating and I absolutely adore your music and when you do music videos. But tbh what I love most about your channel is that you can mix all these different types of videos and it never feels like its not 'you'. I hope you find something that makes you passionate about youtube again but until then I hope that knowing that you channel is enjoyed, admired and an inspiration to your followers, not because of anything else than that you have a great way of making content that connects with people regardless of if its a chat while cooking or artsy 168 hours, I hope that helps some while finding your way again. Its totally your choice to private some of your videos. Your channel should feel like 'you' and your followers will support your journey to make your channel feel more like you for yourself!
this is so lovely, thank you xx
i just wanted to say this.... love u lucy xx keep doing what u love
i feel like we're sitting in a treehouse at 1 am during a sleepover after eating a lot of candy and watching some movies and we're so tired but we just enjoy each other's company so much and we're staying up and talking about what's on our mind and also we're so full but we just want to cook more things so we sneak down to the kitchen and cook some risotto and spill our guts and honest feelings oh yes pls
The title is now my life motto
I MISSED YOU LUCY PLEASE UPLOAD MORE
