    If you want to read something completely different from Junji Ito, I definitely recommend Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu. I've been too scared to read his actual horror stories, but reading silly stories about his cats, told in an exaggerated horror-style was pretty funny.

    I also find it difficult to rest! You might enjoy the book Laziness Does Not Exist; A Defense of the Exhausted, Exploited, and Overworked by Devon Price PhD. They explore the laziness myth, which tells us that we are not working/learning/doing enough, and encourages us to slow down and rest. I love their work - they also recently published a book called Unmasking Autism; The Power of Embracing our Hidden Neurodiversity, but I haven't read that one yet!!

    i know something that might help with learning dutch! i watched a youtube video a while back, and the vlogger was challenging herself to only speak the language she was learning for a whole day. i know it seems daunting if you’re still a beginner, but you can look up translations for what you don’t know, and it helps you learn phrases and words that you use in your daily life :) and also get more comfortable with speaking the language

    Hi Ally! I’ve never left a comment before but had to today because about an hour before watching this video my cat Bean got out of the house. I was able to catch her in the backyard but omg I was so shook up! Instead of spiraling into all the other horrible scenarios that could have played out I came here to calm down. Thank you so much for creating such a magical space on the internet! I really really needed it today ☺️💖 I just had to let you know how special your videos are!!

    I DO also scream into the void!!!
    Also I really relate to what you said about having no balance between work and fun. it’s hard! For me I think it’s because it’s hard to transition between the two and it’s much easier to just keep doing the same thing for hours 😅 even though it burns me out!!

I love your vlogs and videos, the energy they give it's just my cup of tea I struggle with ADHD and your videos really help me to take a moment to breathe and just stare into your wonderfulness: sugar, spice and everything nice!

    I’m so glad I found this channel, I also am autistic and have migraines and Ive been on a journey to heal from trauma and chronic illness. It helps so much to see someone else working through similar things.
    I’ve had autistic burnout for 3 years and I’m only recently moving forward but it’s been difficult because of my health. But special interests are so important and I’ve put a big emphasis on reading and enjoying life in all the little ways. And I try to give myself a lot of grace and hope that I can eventually do better

    I'm still missing some of the shorter books from him, but i've heard great things about Remina!
    and I also want to recommend a manga series that you might like, "Komi Can't Communicate" it's about a girl who has troubles speaking with other people but makes it a goal to make 100 friends, it's a comfort manga and I love reading about just ordinary life stuff!
    as always, thank you for making videos, being you, being amazing!!
