    I completely agree with you on how rewarding and good it feels to post on booktube. I’ve watched you for a long time now and I hope everything goes well for you :)

    Just found your page this morning! I have watched three videos so far and honestly, you are getting me in a content-creating mood. I always feel so "busy" that I don't have enough time but I never thought that my "busy days" can become "full days". A great mindset. Thanks :)

      AW YES!!! That sounds amazing & I’m cheering you on🫶🏼

    I have a booktube channel that I rarely upload on, but this account is my main channel. I honestly can't wait to make this my job. I think we all should be doing what we love and if this is what you love that's all that matters. Always remember it's your life. You're living for you, not for other people 💕

    Excited for you with this decision! It was nice to hear someone talk about working full-time and going to school and how busy it is. It works really well for some people but not for others. I just withdrew from grad school myself because working full-time was busy enough and exhausting too. I can always go back later!

    i feel the exact same as you with booktube! editing, filming, building a community is SO rewarding and feels so nice. it literally is a part time job to upload at least once a week but it makes me happy :) you’re glowing! you definitely made the right decision 🩷🩷 happy for your change bestie

    i can tell you're going to grow your following !! your personality shines and that's the most important thing about upcoming channels, sometime they lack personality and that's why they are stagnant.

    congrats to you for making the decision to do what's best for you!! as someone who got a bachelors...and then a masters...without ever really wanting the "big career"- major hats off to you for having the courage to leave school! also totally agree with everything you said about mockingjay haha!! it's been a long time since i read that, but i remember i really didn't like it very much at all

    Congrats on doing youtube & work fulltime!! It's def hard, I also work a 9-5 plus do youtube, and have 6 rescues. Things get pretty hectic and time is not enough 😅 Hopefully one day I get to do youtube full time! Congrats on the growth of your channel 🎉

    Love this! It can be so hard to say no to things. It honestly takes a lot of courage, so you should be so proud of yourself for knowing what you need & making it happen!
    Also I LOVE the book the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, I have to re-read it every few years for the reminder😅
    & kettle popcorners are also my favorite snack. I always bring them to my 5 hour classes on Thursday’s, they’re the best.
    Thanks for your honesty online, I love your vlogs!🫶🏻

    Just got a new job after quitting college for 3 years for my health. Now going back to college with a job :,) it’s going to be hell, but it’s both nursing related which makes me happy? I think… it’s stressful to know when you’re ready.

    • @faithsreadingthings

    I just saw another TH-cam video about 'going slow', which doesn't mean physically moving slow. It means taking time to be in the moment and committing yourself to completely to the activity you are doing at that time. When we are overwhelmed and too busy, we don't have time to live in the moment and really think about what we are doing and why. I really hope this helps you grow and I can't wait to see the content you put out now that you can focus more on what makes you happy.

    Faith I'm incredibly proud of you! I honestly consider you a virtual😉friend (tho you know I'm your fan too lmao), and I'm super happy you're doing what you love as well as prioritising yourself and your health.
    Now a bit of rant: I have started a job recently on top of my full-time uni studies and since it's summer (still studying though) I've also been trying to spend some time with my closest friends now that they have more time. I am extremely exhausted; I'm always getting sick and never feel rested or a 100%. I remember a couple weeks ago I was rewatching one of your old*ish* videos and asking myself "How does Faith do it all, and why can't I? Am I doing something wrong?" This video gave me a whole bunch of necessary motivation to pull through and try to take more care of myself in the process. Not sure if any of this made sense cause I'm all over the place this week, but yeah, thanks, Faith! 💛

    • @faithsreadingthings
      @faithsreadingthings  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You ARE a friend❤️ and no your feelings are totally valid. Life online can be very misleading since often times we don’t show every side. Which is why I’ve been trying to be more vulnerable and honest in my videos because truth is, I couldn’t do it all and that’s totally okay. I never want other people to watch my videos and compare their life to mine because I too struggle a lot, I’m not perfect, I’m only human and I think it’s important to show that. I appreciate your love and support and hope you too can find some rest and balance❤️

      The job I have now is one I could have gotten with my degree so if anything, I should be even more proud of myself for achieving that without getting it first of all. Second of all, in case you missed it, I mentioned that school will always be there and I have plenty of time to go back and finish my degree and third of all, it’s ultimately my life and my choice and I have, can, and will achieve amazing things even without a piece of paper thank you(:
