    Hi there. I watch The Family Showdown and saw you talking in the live chat and wanted to check out your channel and it looks amazing so far. I have only watched a few videos but you seem like such a down to earth lady and I am loving what you do. I completely understand the anxiety about being on camera. I don't have a channel but anytime in my life (through college/university) that I've had to be recorded, it was awful. But please don't worry about your appearance (although I know its easier said than done) because from all the comments, all anyone cares about is that you are happy. I am 22 and overweight and it is not a nice feeling but at the end of the day, we need to be proud of ourselves and what we have accomplished. Well done on the vlog. I am also so so sorry to hear about your dear dog. I have also lost many pets in my life and to some, they may be 'just' animals but to many they are part of the family. What a gorgeous animal. I hope I am not stepping out of line here with all of this but I want you to know that someone completely new to your channel is routing for you. And I'm very sorry for your loss. X

      Not gonna lie, your comment made me well up a bit. What a lovely thing to take the time to type it all in. I'm so glad you found your way here Monique. Thank you soooo much for taking the time, I really appreciate it, you've changed my outlook on my day :)
      I'm overweight and have just started going to the gym (yesterday).... everything hurts lol. Also.. it's the gym.. ugh... who likes that in front of all those perfect gym people, but I am hoping it will make me feel better in the long run. At the end of the day though, if you're healthy and happy... F it I guess. You're 22 ... oh to be 22 again!! and what a lovely girl you are. Keep on rockin Monique, you're a great human!

    So sorry for your loss, what a beautiful boy he was. My heart is with you.
    I too hate being on camera I get highly anxious and just put myself down, I hate watching myself - but I can tell you with all honesty that you have a great presence on camera. You are very witty and verbally natural. With more experience you will get more physically relaxed as well and less intimidated by the lens. Then you may even enjoy it... and until that happens you are still highly entertaining and just because you may not be enjoying it doesn't mean we aren't! So please keep going.

      You are very kind, I am sure I would feel the same about you. It is hard when you judge yourself so harshly isn't it. I am hoping to try more and more so it becomes easier, it won't change how I look, but I am hoping it will change how I feel about it lol
      Thank you so much, such lovely things to say.

    As for being in front of the camera, I completely get it. Doing the live playthroughs is SOOOOO beyond my comfort zone. Even after a year of doing them, I would still get panic attacks 3-4 hours before going live. So, bravo for getting in front of the camera! 👍

    Thank you for letting us in your home and life again Nerf. I know this is an incredibly difficult time for you and your partner. It is always tough to lose a loved one.
    Pets are just as dear as children. You always do fantastic/amazing videos and we love you and your work my friend.

    Hi Angela, sorry to hear about your loss. Great job with the vlog, you’ll get the top with the next time 😉 I don’t think we should be too concerned about how we look, we can’t change how we look or our age, and very few people looks like a supermodel. The most important thing is just to be yourself and let your great personality shine through and your good sense of humor. Hugs & love from Denmark

      You are a lovely lady Helle, thank you. I am going to try and be on camera more! I did an unboxing and it took a long time, but I was on the camera lol. I am still so sad about our dog, but I am pouring my love into our other dog and she is going quite well given she is extremely sick. Hoping she makes it to Christmas.

    sorry to hear about your furbabies Angela. My poor bully Deuce lost his battle with cancer 2 weeks ago. It's amazing how much they love we can have for our furry family members.

      I am so sorry to hear about Deuce, it is just so hard isn't it. I hope it is getting a little better. I am still missing Huxley's little face, but it is getting easier I guess (but them we have our other dog to pour love into I guess).

    Appreciate the full disclosure and sharing your life. And yes, board games do make you feel good. And it’s a n addiction. Always looking for my next fix. Ahh, the smell of new cardboard.

    Pets dying is shitty, my ken was 19 and woody was 15 when they died but they got manky with old age as cats do. Ken died in 2011 and even now thinking about them makes me sad but ive got 4 other cats now. Well done on being on video, we all get old.

    • @GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran
      @GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really does suck. 19 is astounding for a cat no? Ambro (the one we still have) is way over her lifespan for her breed.

    Oh, that's so sad... I have two cats and I can't imagine losing one of them... Good you have those very nice memories though!
    Thank you for mentioning me. I'm happy (and surprised) that I inspired you to do this vlog. After doing it some more, it will feel less and less awkward.
    Thanks again! Be strong... But also let your emotions run free when needed.

      I am trying to be less awkward. You did great on your outside / convention vlog!
