when you do stop producing content and move onto bigger and brighter things, know that this community will support you in your decision! ofc there will be a small subsection who will be upset and angry, and i would be lying if I said I wouldn't also a bit sad abt it, but this is your life, your daily waking hours we're talking about! do what is best for you and your future. i dont think anyone here would want you to continue doing your stuff here knowing it was making you miserable. many hugs homie
definitely!!
i might cry a little but i'll be so happy for her
I also want to add on that no matter where you’re going to be you’ve influenced many of us positively and gave us support that no one else could. We’re really thankful that we could even be a part of your journey. We wish you nothing but happiness.
Couldn’t have said it better 💜
Silent viewer here! (Normally I read through my long ass comments and delete them cause no one should have to read them lmao). With that out of the way, I can not express how much this channel has helped develop me over the years. I have changed so much as a person for the better and I want to give the biggest thanks to you Linh. Normally I would go on a rant of all the things this channel has done for me, but I will spare you and just say I have felt so much love and positivity through the screen and it has helped me through lots of tough times. Thank you for everything!
this comment is so sweet 🥺 best comment on the video. (love your kiki's delivery service profile picture btw
Couldn’t agree more. She’s been so crucial in my development as a young adult and relate to the ups and downs she always explains to us. She’s incredible 💜
this!!!
Honestly I'm scared for my future. I've been stressing about college, my new interests that I might make my major, money, the rest of high school. I'm just really glad for these videos because it shows me that even though we all have different situations, it can still work, and we can live no matter what our circumstance. Thank you so much for this Linh
same here. everyone is saying that i have to make my decision now even when i’m in high school, and i feel a bit overwhelmed, but linh always makes such nice videos
omg I feel truly the same 🥹 sometimes it can be VERY (I MEAN VEEERRRY) hard to think what I want to do in my life. And I guess we just have to keep trying. To find ourselves, to find new interesting things, and, at last, find our true dream that become a goal someday! ⭐
Hope you’re okay!! I am going to college as well next month and just want to say I’m stressed too, don’t even know if I’ll get in but I’ve learned to not stress and just be grateful that I even have the opportunity to go to college or even stress about it, just take it day by day and live stressful cause your never know what could happen tomorrow.
girl, i have a BA in interior architecture but i’m now a full time Payroll Consultant 💀 take life as it comes and trust in yourself, it’ll work out 💕
I FEEL YOU I went to senior reg today and I’ve reach the final chapter of high school and I’m so scared of the future. But today I got in classes I didn’t think I would so I guess the more I just worry the less I’m going to notice the good things happening now 😅
as a social media manager turned actual film editor, you are a really good editor. you could EASILY make a living as a editor, illustrator, graphics person, whatever. you are gonna go far with your natural talent.
Hi Linh! As someone who’s just been through a similar career crises in overlapping fields, I want to let you know that sometimes it’s less of a “either working for an org/community or myself through YT”
and more “how does each fill my cup or pour from it, and how do I schedule both into my life?” I say this because it seems like you truly find joy in both, and am almost telling yourself that YT is only temporary out of fear of disappointment yourself (because if you think about it, every job and endeavour is temporary in your life, existing for a limited amount of time).
It’s worth noting in times of decision paralysis, too, that we spend more time decidING than living in a certain decision, when our goals are realised by the latter. There’s not many decisions in life that are reversible, especially when it comes to career so. Take a deep breath and go with the one that speaks to you the most!
Wow 😳
Just came back from DC it was so cool. Love these "boring" videos so whenever you don't have time to "produce content", a "day in my life" or. "Get productive with me" is great. You do what you need to and get content out of it
Hey linh! I’m just a silent viewer of yours and yet I decided to leave a comment. Your overall aesthetics truly match your personality. You’ve inspired a lot of us here to deliberately reflect on our creative processes.
I know it could could get hard and overwhelming at times dealing with comments and unwarranted negative inputs from others but you handle it with such grace and editing for hours bro is such a mood
i’m so excited for your jewelry line linh! so cool to see how this channel has progressed and how you’ve grown. i feel as if i’ve changed with you, and i cannot express how much these videos mean to me. thank you for your art, and for all of the hard work you put into each upload. much love
I think it's Joan as in Joan of Arc, not Jo-anne :) Lovely vid as always!
okay, this might be my period mood swings talking, but everytime a watch another one of your videos, i start tearing up 🥲 im so happy for you, and how far you've come. I hope your happy too, you deserve it!
Hi Linh! I can relate on the existential career thoughts. I live in DC like you and am in my mid-20s, and I was a lot like you when I was in college in the way that I put a lot on my plate and really felt like I had to have everything figured out regarding my career aspirations. After graduating undergrad I went to get a Master's (all according to plan) and realized mid-way through that I actually didn't know if the career path I'd chosen was right for me! To be honest, I still don't think that the career path I'm on now (which is advocacy-based, btw!) is what I'm meant to do, or what I really want to do for the rest of my life. The tricky thing is allowing yourself to be okay with the uncertainty. You will rarely (ever) feel like you have everything figured out, and there will always be 'what ifs'. I think the fact that you already have so many career-building skills that bring you joy is amazing! Yes, social media and YT may not be your forever career, but if it is bringing you joy right now, and if it is providing for your life right now, there is no need to quit early so that you can focus on another kind of career. I know it always feels a little shitty when someone says this, but it's really true: you are young, and you have so much time to figure things out. I burned myself out because of all the pressure I was putting on myself, and I don't want the same to happen to you. To be honest, if I could go back for any reason to being in my college years, I would just encourage myself to be in the present more and give myself more grace. Please don't forget to give some to yourself! xx
Linh, I want to thank you for sparking a little fuse in the back of my brain a few years ago that editing was something I loved. I made my channel because I enjoyed it and I wanted to have digital diaries. Thank you for showing that YT and editing isn’t just to be an influencer but to enjoy for yourself too. Thank you for your passion and the care you put into everything you release for us. Whatever happens next or the next decision you make, as long as you are happy, content, and healthy, we are all just lucky to have had you for so many years ❤️
loved how linh always mentions us viewers in her videos, showing how she really cares!!
linh , last video you played a brazilian music , and as a brazilian person i felt very warm inside because you enjoyed the music!! Please continue doing what you love and like
Sometimes I think that people think being an "influencer" is one specific thing (influencer events, making merch, making it your whole life, going to vidcon, etc.) but I think that content creators online have a lot more freedom than they think. I watch a lot of people who have a full-time job in the "real world" (software engineer, accountant, data analyst, etc.) who also do youtube and don't make it their whole life. If you want to build your whole life on youtube and create your own brand, that's fine! But if you want to have your own life and job and make youtube videos on the side, not as a side hustle or anything, but as a way to connect with people and as a creative outlet, that is still good and ok! I personally love watching the "a day in the life of a *insert real person job here* " videos bc it's a real person with a real person job and isn't super glorified, just telling us what happens in their day doing a job that someone else who's watching is going to be doing and knows what to expect, not to mention shows the variety of people that are in a field!
Honestly this channel changed me so much and I will really really miss it when it's gone. I hope there will be ways to still have some updates from linh though, no matter how small, even when we all grow apart... Like having updates on insta from childhood friends who you don't talk with anymore but still care for. Love you linh!!! You make our lives so much better. I hope one day I will get to be something I will be able to be proud of, like we all are proud of you right now.
Honestly it's difficult to have words to describe how calm and at home this video made me feel. It's good that we can count on Linh to give us some time to relax
Music really is the bane of an editor's existence 🥴 It always takes me forever to find something I like too! I also really appreciate the realistic look behind the scenes - there's always more planning and scheduling than people think! 💓
Didn’t mean to be so early but I’m so excited for this new video!! As always the editing and the colors are chefs kiss😄
i just recently subscribed to you (very late i know lol), but you are such a vibe! 😍
ps: always great to learn a bit of editing, comes in handy for me hehe
thank YOU for letting us be a part of your life! i cannot measure how immensely grateful i am for your channel. that being said, you’re one of the most powerful, beautiful, intelligent and positive woman i have ever seen and whatever decision you might take, i will always be there for you :) hope you have the bestest day ever! love you
you taught me how to sync my music with my clips! honestly your editing style has been really inspirational to me. hearing that you struggle balancing school and content creation as well makes me feel a bit better :’)
so happy to see u thriving!!
i love how real she is with her videos and how relatable. also i was like staring at her cat that was kneading in the beginning of the video..
more casual videos like this are really nice to watch too ! don’t put too much pressure on yourself 💜 you’ll make decisions when the time is right, for now enjoy !!
love you linh!!! thank u for sharing the all these moments of ur life with us
when it does near the end, we will all be so proud of you! we all are already now. thank you for everything lihn, and even if we can't see it on youtube, thank you for helping so many people and continuing to. i love you in a wierd i-love-the-creators-i-watch-online-type-of-way and just do you
Can’t wait to watch! I love your videos so much

congratulations to the winners, it's just so sentimental i just imagined. thank you so much linh for sharing your creative and insightful side as always, love
I found you from your bed revamping video in 2019 and I just wanted to say that your content has been an absolute joy to watch these last few years and will continue to be for however long you make videos. :) Your content is so peaceful and always make me calm, always a go-to! Thank you so much for everything you’ve brought to your audience and for being so real with us, you’ve taught so many of us priceless life lessons and how to be comfortable in our own skin, we’ll always support you on whichever path you choose :)
thank you for showing your experiences as a content creator, linh. i have been thinking about starting a youtube channel since it is fun for me to edit videos and stuff and your video is really inspiring (actually all your videos are kind of inspiring because i absolutely adore your vibe), so thank you
Coming home after a long day to see that you've posted a video just made me so happy. Any direction you decide to take, you'll do great. Love you Linh
you (and your channel) truly are a safe comfort space for me.
the editing is so satisfying and the subtitles added to you talking helps me so much! Plus you being such a heart-warming person as well, with a pretty energy 🫶🏼🤍
Thank you so much Linh for sharing those moments to us. I am so grateful to see how college life/ beginning of adulthood can look like and the way you live it. I love the way you process to demonstrate your identity, your creativity and your dreams. Thank you for sharing that to us. If there is someday an end to that channel, just know that you left on most of our mind a brilliant and colorfull memory of your being. An end doesn't mean sadness, there's a certain beauty in it. Keep going, you are great. I wish you all the happiness of the world.
Linh! If all the people on TH-cam, I really do think your editing skills are THE BEST (no humility needed)
Hi linh! Just wanna say you make me so calm and relaxed and all the mess in my life disappears for some time atleast and Iam thankful for you for being there . Thanks and love ya!!!!!

YAYYYAYAYAY LINH UPLOAD WE LOVE U LINH
Yesss we love all the computer stuffs!!
You are absolutely right; I found your videos by searching "diy aesthetic stickers" back in the day and I've LOVED your channel ever since! You have touched so many lives just by sharing your positivity, honesty and genuine love of life. It has been so fun to be a part of your journey 🥰 xoxo
P.S. It would be awesome if you had a mailing list for those who want to keep up with you once you graduate from TH-cam-university to send out random updates whenever you feel like it (just a suggestion). I know your presence will be truly missed!
hi linh! i just wanted to say thank you so much for being honest with us about your life as a content creator, you offer a lot of insight into the job that not many other people show. you inspire me and a lot of other people a lot and i hope you know that
Yesss I love your content so much it makes my day when you Upload
Happy 1M subscribers!!!
I really loved this video, linh. I first started following you on bookstagram (I don't think it was named that back then) and I followed you through every step. I was in high school, now I'm a full time educator. my dreams and goals changed a lot. I had the same thoughts when I was graduating as you, but just know we are going to support you no matter what. You created a beautiful journey and community and we just want to see people happy, because life is really hard if we are miserable too... you know? sending hugs and take care ❤
i love videos like this! it’s nice to see a casual look into your life, i feel like we’re friends 💛💛
yay new linh vid!!
okay okay it's been a few years now that I follow you even though I never commented but seeing you retrospect on your youtube career made me want to do so : you are one of my comfort youtuber and I love following your journey, growing up and evolving with you as a young adult ! So thank you so much Linh !! I think the community you created will always support you, wether you continue or don't, or even if you want to do youtube more casually and focus on other things !
Watching your videos for so long it's amazing to see your personal and professional growth, I hope you find your way into a future you're proud of. I know I will be no matter what that is!!
Congrats on one million!
this video is literally so cute! loving itt
I love the way you edit your videos! :D
nice to see your process and talk about the products that you like :)
beautiful video!!! As always
It always feels so cozy and nice watching your videos!! :')
Thank you so much for making this video. I have always wanted to be a TH-camr/ content creator. I feel really inspired by you and your content.
Aw, this is my fav video of yours yet! The ending made me a bit emo ✨💕
its been a rough day for me, but this video has helped a ton and i love your content!!!
linh, I’ve been watching your content ever since you/we were in high school (we’re actually the same age!!), and i’m just super proud of how far you’ve come!! everyone and anyone can tell that you’re a hardworking, talented person. whatever you may choose in life and wherever you go in life, you are destined to thrive and succeed :)
AAAAH so excited for your jewellery line! I just know its gonna look so unique and cute 🐍
hey linh i luv your videos sm since I've been subscribed for a year and it honestly inspired me to start my own channel! I've rewatched your "how I edit my yt vids" video so many times lol trying to understand how you make each one so magical:) I'll keep trying my best but still so happy for you in making big life decisions rn I've been dealing with becoming an adult lately and you really help ease my mind through it all so thank you.
Was just about to fall asleep (it's 00:29 here) but nope, now I need to stay up and watch your video 😌
I've been hoping you'd upload soon so my wish came true 💞💞
I say focus on your intership! Me and many other ppl would ofc miss your content but you can always come back to it (if that's what u want ofc) when your're ready. Focus on living your life :) We support you Linh
I've started following her during her booktube times so it's so good to hear that she's getting back to reading
i discovered you from your sticker printing business video. you have no idea how much grateful i am with how much inspiration you brought me. love you, linh.
That was interesting actually !! I really enjoy this kind of video 🥰🥰
so excited for the video
Love your videos sm
linh :((( I've been a silent watcher and never really commented on your vids before but this one really made me want to leave something. I love your videos and they've helped me a lot in times where I needed it the most. As someone who took so much inspiration and comfort from your creative outputs, I hope you don't feel any burden from me in deciding whatever you want to do. Please know that there's this lovely community who receives happiness from you and your videos that also hopes you are happy wherever you go. You really feel like a big sister to me and I want to give you a lot of hugs ;-; I'll always support you wherever and whatever you do! thank you so much for all your efforts and I love you so much!
hearing you talk about how you used to do book videos is so nostalgic in a way for me lol. I found your channel when I was a freshman in hs and now I'm starting my senior year (ahhh) and I specifically remember when I was doing virtual learning I'd watch your videos on my lunch break and they quite literally kept me sane. anyway this is weird but thanks because tbh no matter what content you make I watch it and it's so comforting
I think this is such an interesting video topic and you've expressed all the hurdles and pluses of being a content creator so well.Sometimes,at the end of your videos,I get sad realising that I don't comment on your videos as often as I should,because dang gurl,your videos are pure sources of peace and joy (both for the heart and eye).I am very thankful to have discovered you,because honestly,as a 50% introvert watching Linh with a cup of coffee by my side uhmmm,perfection!I've been watching you during stressful exam sessions,while going through painful experiences or losing self-confidence and productivity,all that shit.And ofc,during happy times as well.One of my friends is going through a hard time rn and in order to help her I often recommend what has worked for me and finding quality content creators is one of my pieces of advice.Without further ado,I will defo recommend you to her and I wanna thank you once again for all your work.It's making our lives better.Hope to meet you one day!
With love from Romania,Stanca
ahhh deborah and linh posting back to back 😭💗, i feel spoiled lol
You're doing amazing sweetie and taking good care of yourself, have confidence and self trust to go forward with alk the great things ahead
Also apartment looking hella cute and cozy
lol im like balling my eyes at end and i dont even know why haha its just so wholesome and sweet but my opinion on the quitting youtube or not is you can always return to youtube and pick up where you left off but in the non-social media world (the real world) that is much harder to do. while you have a solid foot in the door in a career that you want to pursue and that the more you put more energy into if you aren't trying to juggle youtube as well if that you can too make a sustainable income from that job and if it turns out its not enough then you can go back to youtube because we all will always be ready to pick up where you left off. xx good luck linh, with love emma ;)
I love how creative you are I wish I was like that
it’s so crazy seeing something as small as your hair length change drastically from your first few videos🥺i really enjoy your content and channel, but whatever you decide, i know ill support you!!thank you for your hard work and inspiration 💗💗💗
You are so inspiring and encourage me to keep working at my own TH-cam channel, I've been watching you since my sophomore year of highschool and now I'm starting my sohpmore year of college. Thanks for being so amazing and honestly a grate roll model for me when it comes to content creation. The day you do decide to quit TH-cam will not be a bad thing because I know you will continue to do wonderful and amazing things! Please don't stop being you 💜
This video Is Amazing, feels like talking to a friend about the future ❤️
kayla is so elegant + pretty omg
im so happy the bangs r back :)
you make the best content!!!
