Totally understand. My daughter chided me when I bought a ticket to an event for myself then felt bad about it. She told me I do so much for everyone else, I need to spend some of that love on myself. Admittedly, I still felt bad and was going to go back and buy two more tickets, but it had sold out. Now, since the choice was taken away, I'm actually loving the idea of making it a whole day for self love. Possibly even an overnight so I don't have to drive home late two hours after. It's so easy to get caught up in the idea that the advice you would give to other people you seldom keep for yourself. ANd I know better, I shouldn't have to have an excuse to do it. It's not selfish, which is what the previous generations taught me.
I used to feel guilty all the time. Now it’s much better (though not perfect. Haha) One of the things I tell myself when I feel guilty is I’m allowed to take up space. Another is I’m allowed (or responsible for taking) to take the best care possible of myself. It sucks that the world didn’t give us these messages growing up. Thanks for sharing your drawers with us. I love seeing other artists art supplies!
Fran, te entiendo perfectamente a lo que te referís con un lugar para "echarte". Hay veces que lo único que querés hacer es eso... echarte. No dejes que nadie te diga que está mal o que sos perezosa....la mayoría de la gente no lo entiende. Algo que me ayuda y que podría ayudarte es deshacerte de la mayor cantidad de cosas que no uses...ya vi que algunas cosas las pusiste en storage....pero siguen estando ahí. A mí deshacerme de lo que ya no uso me libera un peso enorme de la mente y me hace pensar con más claridad. Besotes! Andrea
it's called "buyer's remorse", more common than you think. But remember to treat yourself from time to time. You always deserve a splurge from your hard earned work!!!
A place to lay is almost more necessary than the desk!! I definitely prioritized it and I fully understand what you mean, 😂 zero justifications needed, it's part of the process of creation !
Totally understand the need to lie down frequently. Somehow depression can just feel so heavy you physically feel it that lying down is the best way to deal with it
I absolutely feel that way sometimes about buying things, esp. when going through a depressive episode, but I'm glad you got the sofa anyway! (You deserve comfort!)
Cada vez que subís un video me llenás un pedacito del alma, me das ganas de hacer cosas, me hacés sentir cómode en la cotidianidad. La cantidad de cosas que siento y pienso viendo tus videos superan a casi cualquier otra cosa. Veo la notificación y tal vez tardo 3 días en verlo porque tengo que encontrar el momento correcto para hacerle justicia. Nada más que decir por ahora, gracias por esto :)
These MOFT laptop sleeves are such a game-changer! The origami-inspired design is so cool, and I love that they're so easy to use. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Hi Fran! Your needs are changing, as an artist and a person, BUY that couch! Plus you found the one you wanted secondhand!? *miracle* I agree with another comment about taking up SPACE. Go Fran! ❤❤❤
Hey Fran, the second guessing yourself when you want expensive thing for yourself is real. I feel you 😊 if you alredy work hard, financially make sense then buy it ❤
I feel you about the second-guessing the expensive purchases. In my case it does not come from a "i don't deserve it" position, rather from a "you could have not done it, you could have keep on living without it, because if now something happens, you already spent some (too much) money".
I know exactly what you mean about "deserving" things and second guessing yourself when you buy something expensive... but I want to believe that we all deserve nice things every once in a while. and certainly you do!
in my first studio that i rented from someone else it was in the basement and has concrete floors. my depression manifested as extreme tiredness. so i would lay on the concrete floor for hours. finally in a fit of guilt, i laid some fabric underneath me and started to trace myself. i did many paintings this way...now i'm an old woman and i have never made so much art in my life...things work out this way!
Loved the stationary tour! Sorry to hear about you've been feeling low. Hope you feel better soon and are able to get the support you need. You absolutely DESERVE a place to rest, and a beautiful sofa that you enjoy.
After watching this I picked up one of the Slicci pens and, OMGOSH. I love it. Before I started using microns I swore by (and still do) the Pentel EnerGel .5mm black pens. This is the perfect compliment. Thank you so much.
Siento que la última vez que hiciste un video mostrando tus artículos de arte fue hace AÑOS (tal vez no es tan así jsjsjs) lo extrañaba un montonazo, era de mis cosas favoritas. Fue un mimito a la nostalgia
Querida Fran, quiero agradecerte por este video. Tuve una semana emocionalmente y llegar a casa un viernes y ver este video me dio vida. Te abrazo desde Austria
Oh! I know exactaly what you mean by having a sofa to lay dawn. I suffer from anxiety and really need to take some breakes during the day to lay down and recompose my self :) Don't feel guilty if you are doing somenting to embrace yourself . Love your content!!!
I get such purchase guilt yeah. Think it’s such a good idea to get a couch for your studio. So glad you’ll have a place to rest or curl up and draw in a more cosy way at your workplace. Love this video, thank you ❤😊
I've been looking for a laptop sleeve that's both functional and stylish, and these MOFT sleeves definitely fit the bill! Thanks for sharing this awesome find!
I do jewelry making. I also suffer from bipolar disorder. I get depressed mostly. My studio is where I live so sometimes I don’t feel motivated to work. I would rather sleep my days away. I am glad you are getting a sofa but be careful it makes you lazy and interferes with your sleeping habits at night. Emprezz Tash from Jamaica!!,
The poetry book is from a brazilian author and I just bought the book right away!! haha This video is so relaxing and motivated me to organize and clean my own stuff too I'm from Brazil and your channel is my favorite from yt! 🥰
Thanks for this. I needed the p use. I too need to organize my studio. I feel you girl. With spending on yourself and the needing to lie down. Just Jake sure its not too comfortable or you’ll end up sleep I ng long ER than your like? You work hard and you deserve to get everything you want and need.
I 100% relate to that feeling of financial guilt, especially over larger purchases. Something that has helped me massively is to view money more as a tool than anything. Although it's easy to feel the pressure to always be saving money, that's not the goal...the purpose of the money is to help you progress. A couch sounds like the perfect addition to your studio, an investment into your mental health and physical health.
Hola Fran, es en serio culpa? Pero si trabajas un montón niña! Te lo mereces y ya desde hace bastante tiempo que oigo que estás deprimida, no te están haciendo los medicamentos? Cambia de médico, la vida es muy corta para desperdiciarla en depresiones, yo quiero volver a ver a la Fran alegre y creativa de antes que se emocionaba buscando un lapicero diferente, que hacía una fiesta a la hora de ver materiales nuevos, que reía y disfrutaba incluso con dibujar un punto! Fran eres un ser humano maravilloso y eres encantadora! Venga piensa que el mundo es un bombón y tú eres un terrón de azúcar así que vamos haz una fiesta de tu vida y piensa que habemos gente en este planeta que te amamos mucho y queremos que resurjas ❤😊
Me demoré 3 dias ver tu video, porque es tan relajante que me dormía jajjaaj un abrazo y espero que tu vida vaya muy bien, gracias por calmar mi insomnio.
I’ve never heard of deleter paper!!! Would be really cool to see how you use it in your illustration 😊 Also now definitely asking someone to get that award winning eraser for me hehe
Hola Fran :^) soy un estudiante de ilustración acá en Concepción chile. Siempre que trabajo o almuerzo disfruto verte, es muy acogedor. Solo venía a comentar eso, espero estes teniendo buenos días y felicidades por tu nuevo sofá 🌻🍁
It's called 'buyer's remorse'! "... refers to negative emotions-such as regret, anxiety or guilt-that consumers may experience after buying an item. It's typically linked to large purchases-like a car or a new home. But some people may experience it after smaller purchases-like buying a new bag or set of golf clubs."
con tus bocetos, más si estan en hojas de buena calidad, los usaría para encuadernación, como guardas de libros, o para las tapas... me imagino reciclándolos dejando los dibujos como texturas, un palimpsesto!
Hola Fran! Quería recomendarte el libro "La mujer temblorosa o la historia de mis nervios" de Siri Hustvedt. Es el libro que estoy leyendo en este momento y me recordó a tu video, que ya había visto días previos. Muchos saludos!!
I used to feel really guilty about buying things because I hardly had any money and I would get mad at myself when I was short on cash for bills. I started saving money and spending money wisely on groceries and paying off my high interest loans. Now I buy what I want and I don’t feel guilty about anything. I recently bought a Tesla and I’m almost done paying it off. A few years ago I could barely get $2,000 rounded up for a used car. I was very pathetic with money and I felt bad constantly.
I get that sometimes....feeling guilty when I buy something for myself that is a bit pricey than what i would normally go for... don't know why but I do😮
Hi Fran, thanks for sharing vlogs. I've always enjoyed watching them. I would like to share something from what I last known, Prismacolor pencils are not vegan. If you are vegan, you might be interested to know. I have contemplated using them but decided to go for polychromos. Caran d'ache luminance can be an option too :)
every time i make a big purchase I start to tell myself to forget about the price, it works wonders xd i also do that every time i want to forget something, i somehow gaslit myself lmao
Yes, I feel massive guilt when making big purchases as well. A few months ago I bought a new couch and felt really guilty for a while even though the one it replaced was already one we got second hand, almost for free and we had it so long that it had holes in it 🥲 But I tried to convince myself it was okay because it is what my family spends most of our time in and I just got promoted and revived a significant bonus … I get what you mean completely … I don’t feel I deserve nice things. Even though in the end it’s a necessity…

as per usual, watching your videos is like sipping a delicious tea on a cold day = the perfect soothing feeling.
I always love to watch organizing videos to get myself motivated 💕
The moment where we live in the storage room and your jk-let's go-back-smile made me ❤🥲😍
Totally understand the need to lie down frequently. Somehow depression can just feel so heavy you physically feel it that lying down is the best way to deal with it

Hey Fran, the second guessing yourself when you want expensive thing for yourself is real. I feel you 😊 if you alredy work hard, financially make sense then buy it ❤
So calming to watch you rearranging and showing your studio! I definitely want to buy new pens now.

日本の文具をたくさん使ってくれてありがとうございます！！
You get that sofa Fran!!!!!! You deserve the world and you absolutely need that sofa if you’ve been thinking about it for a year 🎉
in my first studio that i rented from someone else it was in the basement and has concrete floors. my depression manifested as extreme tiredness. so i would lay on the concrete floor for hours. finally in a fit of guilt, i laid some fabric underneath me and started to trace myself. i did many paintings this way...now i'm an old woman and i have never made so much art in my life...things work out this way!
I love how the MOFT laptop sleeves are so sleek and slim, yet still offer great protection. Thanks for introducing me to this brand!🤩🤩
Loved the stationary tour!

I'm so hoping the sofa is a stunning, vintage Togo. Whatever it is, *I know* it will be gorgeous. 💜
Can’t wait to see your new sofa!

Whenever I buy something expensive, or maybe not even that expensive, I will justify it endlessly 😂 you are not alone!
Fran, thank you for such a great video! You look so glowing and beautiful as well!
Lo pasé muy bien viendo este video, Guardado ropa de verano y sacando chalecos para el otoño en stgo 🍂🍁

What a cool product and ad
I love Fran. Such a beautiful soul 💕
Jajajajajjsjs amo esos lápices pentel y pilot, son mis favs también ❤😂
Missed you, Fran!
Such a relaxing video :^) its crazy to think how the copic marker frenzy is gone… how far you have come and grown.
Hey. Been watching for a while. Thanks for sharing. You got a new subscriber out here in California
Quiero conocer ese "maldito" (sofá) por favor! El descanso, el parar, el cuidarnos es amor!
quiero ver el sofáaaaaaaa no soporto tanta intriga
Al hablar de la funda te saliò la voz de Lláme yaaa😂
Hola fran 😊 yo acabo de terminar mi limpieza de otoño y saque demasiadas cosas 🤭. Espero que estés siempre bien 💖
can't wait to see your new sofa, fran◡̈ i know what you mean about needing to lay down and having 'horizontal' time on heavy brain days
con tus bocetos, más si estan en hojas de buena calidad, los usaría para encuadernación, como guardas de libros, o para las tapas... me imagino reciclándolos dejando los dibujos como texturas, un palimpsesto!
Love your videos 😍 thanks for sharing.
Disfruta tu sofá Fran! Un abrazote ❤
So inspiring! I hope you’re doing well!

Hello Fran, I love you videos :) can you tell me the brand of those little tubes in the transparent bag next to the inks?
I like that orange folder thing. where did you get it from ?
You look so much like Phoebe Bridgers in the thumbnail!! So much love, Fran
WOW major compliment, thank you so muuuch!
