Oh my gosh it's so profoundly true - everyone is scared of appearing ordinary! I think that's especially true in creative circles like you find in places like LA or NYC. I've been discussing this with my partner lately, I think it could be tied into our existential fears, that life might not mean much, and also our fear of death. Like if we can keep making things, and trying to be 'special', we're somehow immortal, or we'll keep existing? I also think it's a result of living in a deeply capitalist society, and being pressured to commodify everything, even ourselves. I think that's becoming closely tied to our relationship with social media, and this growing pressure to produce content, and the feeling that if you don't share your experience with others, what's the point? Like if a tree falls in a forest with no-one to hear it does it make noise? We've been trying to use our phones less, and share less in general - it's weird that it feels scary to just live in the moment, it makes you realise that one day it will all be gone, but I think that's a good thing to try and sit with :)
You’re so awesome. I’ve loved your videos and art for years. I just wanted to add, as a former perfectionist, my experience is that “How you do anything, is how you do everything,” is just another way to say “be perfect.” More perfectionism. In some areas things are easier and it thrives, in other areas things take more effort. That’s okay. It’s 100 percent human. We all experience this. A very wise person I know told me, “Don’t aim for perfection.” It’s helped immensely. It’s helped me cut myself so much more slack. And oddly, I’m getting more done in my life. -This is just my experience. Take what you want or totally disregard it. No rules. ❤❤❤
Love u sharing ur thoughts and keeping it real, it’s very grounding as, like u said, social media starts to veer towards this false narrative. I think it’s can get particularly hard for“creatives,” to find a balance that works. Because there’s always inspiration, ideas, visualizations, and it’s hard not to get caught up in what feels like a building list of to-do’s and wants.
Such a wonderful vlog thank you for taking the chance and sharing it with us. I started my channel a few years ago but didn't start dedicating time and goals until this year. I still cringe a bit when I post a video but every time you record, edit etc. you get better at it. And I agree, I think you were pressuring yourself a bit when it comes to the decluttering and being more organized. Hope everyone has a lovely evening ❤❤
talk about divine synchronicities! today i took some pictures and they didn't look like my usual "instagram worthy" pictures but im like what is "instagram worthy"?! anyways, thank you for sharing your perspective💗
I loved this madelynn! Like any of your videos x another sentence I try to remind myself when I start feeling teeling, stuck and grunpy is: ✨ follow lightness, the rest will unfold ✨
yes.. perpetual introspection of contemplating what you want to share to the world vs what you actually feel or not feel or what you feel in the between....😬
I’ve followed you for a long time and love your videos! It seems like you’re stuck in a weird new age pseudospiritual phase right now though, and mainly all of that stuff boils down to becoming a more productive member of late capitalism.

This is one of my favorite vlogs you've ever done. I loved it being longer, and it was very charming. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@@madelynn-delarosa Absolutely!! ❤️
15:23 love that the theater sign looks like it says mission possible
Soooo relaxing, it's like a kind of therapy watching your videos.
What I love is how I’ve watched you grow throughout the years, and seeing your videos change along with you😊
Yes to longer form content!!! Loved this vlog, probably one of my favorites Ive seen on your channel ❤
Idk why but I feel compelled to recommend the interviews with Jenny Slate on the Talk Easy podcast here. I think they would resonate with you!!

That is a great one!!
your work is so beautiful madelynn, thank you for sharing
it does seem like the collective is going through a lot of introspection, especially with all these retrogrades, hang in there
yes.. perpetual introspection of contemplating what you want to share to the world vs what you actually feel or not feel or what you feel in the between....😬

I'm doing a lot of shadow work and meditating if that's what you mean! 🤣
