She makes me feel so much better about mundane moments of life.
Yea
I agree! There is nothing wrong with a slower paced, “boring” lifestyle. It’s definitely something I’m working on 😌
This is exactly why I love Michille
@@tokyodoru has
Frrrr
It’s refreshing hearing about two people willing to work and grow a healthy relationship. Gives me hope 💕
she's seriously like an older sister to me, and i am consistently inspired by her. love you mich!
I went through a "break" with my boyfriend of (then) 6 years just over a year ago. Have to say it was the best thing we could have done for our relationship as it really gave us time to reflect on what we wanted. A year later we are happily living together and the best/most secure we've been in our relationship. I'm a HUGE advocate for breaks so don't be apprehensive at all!
❤ needed to read this!! I'm having one with my bf at the moment, hopefully all turns out as it's meant to be
❤❤❤
me too! last year we took a break for about 2 months and it was hard but the best decision at the time. We're definitely more secure, happier and it really helped us realise how important our relationship is. It's our 7 year anniversary tomorrow :)
really happy to read this.
my ex and i did this just this year but after 3 months he really didn’t wanna continue anymore so we officially broke up and now i found out that he already has somebody new and they’ve probably been talking since our little hiatus :D
I'm so glad you mentioned what happened, and I'm happy it turned out the way it did! It's a really great and brave thing to do (mending a broken relationship), because I feel like almost every couple goes through a breakup after around 2 yrs and then it's like - if you decide you still want to get back together, great it means you are willing to dedicate yourselves to each other and really listen to another. If not, it's not mean to be, and it hurts a lot, but yeah, i've seen this many times. I still feel sorry I never had a proper goodbye or a conversation with a person I'd lived with for 2 years. I wish they were willing to talk about it and work it out, so I know i tried every option. Glad to hear you're doing great! Love you guys
This "dinner party" idea is the cutest thing, and all the food looked amazing!!!
Love it
I relate so much to your relationship with Ivan! My boyfriend and I were together for 2.5 years when we broke up, but I truly felt like the relationship was something special and too good to give up. I definitely felt like he made me a better person and helped me to become my best me. We've been back together for a couple months now, and our relationship is stronger than ever. Our communication is the best it has ever been, and we are so incredibly honest with each other. I'm happy that you and Ivan were able to work things out :)
Thats awesome to hear~ i wish the best for u & ur partner
sometimes, even if the relationship is perfect, you realize you're not walking towards the same end point and have to diverge. Not all relationship that ends needs to be considered toxic (like some ppl do) and sometimes it's just part of life. :)
I'm so happy you guys decided to give it one last try! I wish all the best in love and happiness!
That sounds way healthier than any ‘TH-camr’ break up I’ve heard about before. Actively trying to mend the relationship through therapy sounds like a fantastic idea. Your maturity and vulnerability inspire me to be the same and your videos always comfort me as I also live alone
This channel gives me the hope to go one step further in life without putting unnecessary pressure on myself.
Yes. This is so on spot!
Loved it i felt that!
I love how open you are with us. You teach me how to make boundaries, but still be able to connect with people deeply. Thank you Michelle, lysm
I appreciate the videos you post, I live alone in my own apartment and watching your videos helps me to embrace my independence deeper, but also not to worry about being single and that the right one will come at the right time. I also enjoy your cooking. I'm an animal lover and can't get over how adorable your dog is!
Aw thank you so much for talking about your relationship. I have felt the same about my relationship. A month ago, we actually broke up. But like you said with yours, it was a relationship that was too good to throw away. I became confident and happy when I was with my ex. Hopefully I can get into therapy soon and work through this and maybe see what will happen. Thank you for being vulnerable and saying what all happened 💕
I’m happy for you, Michelle. I started watching your vlogs right after the breakup and could feel how heartbroken you were through the screen but I’m very glad to see you in a happy place now. Wish you both the best!
We shouldn’t judge a person based on the few moments they appear on camera. We don’t know what they’ve been through or what their relationship is truly like. All we can do is support!
Totally agree :) why people keep talking surely like Ivan was not the one for her? They didnt even meet him in person and keep assuming like “oh just saw him on her (10 minutes of a week) vlogs and I can know exactly how he is” :))) how tf? The way Ivan treated Michelle was so soft and gentle, I know there were just a few minutes of him on the vlog and we r human and still have a lot of mistakes that need to be fixed but I think he was not that bad like what people said! Just remember they even sat back together for the couple therapy after the break up, what more could people ask for?!
Yes I'm agree. Of course they know what they want and how they feel when they are together or not together... We can't judge ppl by its cover 😅
@@beramber10 Because internet people have nothing better to do than judge.
@@beramber10 hmm maybe i didnt see the comments you refer to, but from what i saw in the video where she told us they had broken up, it was people being supportive of michelle. i didnt see any mean spirited comments saying he wasnt the one for her, but rather encouraging comments saying that he wasnt the one for her if they ended up breaking up and enocuraging michelle that she will be okay. i think its a common thing to say to encourage someone after a breakup with no bad intentions. i havent seen any negative comments about it as you claim
Its like telling your friends too much of your relationship problems. They will never forgive your significant other because they are not in the relationship with you. They dont see who you love through your eyes. Its okay to share but never share too much because humans are judgmental.
Not gonna lie, Ivan seems like a really good dude. Glad u guys are back together.
I know it sounds crazy but i had a feeling you and Ivan would be back again because you look genuinely happy with him. So happy looking you happy now Michelle! Can’t wait to see Ivan in your vlogs again🥰
Michelle, you drank our pear juice right in front of our eyes! Jokes aside, this was such a precious idea, so calm and chatty. Relationships are tricky, so I am so happy to see that you work your way around them with such maturity and at the same time, share it with us because not everyone is comfortable sharing the not so pretty sides of a relationship online! So beautiful!
I’m so happy for you Michelle! You and Ivan seem like a wonderful couple and two amazing individuals. All the best.. thank you for sharing with us all 🥰
are they still together?)
@@fariza1811 they got back together she mentions in the video :)
I’m so in love with your makeup in the beginning of the video. You look so fresh and well-rested and glowy ✨ Love you Michelle! 💕
You should give yourself some credit. You’re not scared enough to express gratitude and be vulnerable on the internet and that’s pretty incredible. So much love from mass 🍜🥟🐱🦋
🥲🥲
crying ilu 🌶💃🏼🤌🏼🐱🥰
I literally went through this exact experience. My boyfriend and I were struggling and we decided to break it off because we just couldn't give each other what the other person needed. After a lot of self-reflection and growth on both of our parts we got back together and are going to celebrate our two-year anniversary this December. We are in such a happy place and we honestly wouldn't have gotten there without taking the time we needed apart
Hi, Michelle!! Here to say that I totally understand how it feels when you tell people you got back with a certain ex because oftentimes, we fear judgment and have the tendency to question our own decision, too! But I hope you know the opinion of others is way less important than listening to what your heart wants! In hindsight, you’re going to realize how much of what they say don’t matter. So happy to hear you’ve worked it out and dealt with it healthily. Wishing you two the best ❤️
omg I'm so happy for them. I was rlly sad when they broke up because michelle looks so happy with him ❤ but now, I'm just so happy
Dobby so cute
I also started therapy after a breakup this year and it’s been so helpful to just hold myself accountable in some ways mentally and also as a means of support. I’m glad you and Ivan were able to extensively communicate and be that mature where you were able to really navigate next steps for you both. If people want to judge you that’s on them - it’s your life, girl. Do what makes you happy 💕
I actually knew you guys were back together when you started wearing the perfume that Ivan gifted you. We are happy if that's what's you want and are happy with it. but always remember that you are a amazing person and to always put yourself and your well being first and you are not guilty or selfish doing it.
And can we get a name as your subscribers. that would be so cool
Whats the time stamp of her wearing the perfume?
@@yieldm232 1:26!
Her energy was a lot more different and happier here too compared to her past videos😊
Do you remember either the kind of perfume it is or the episode she showed it?
@@demetriaduma6218 I noticed her vibrant mood too! I'm so happy for her
The important thing is that your happy and healthy. The rest is just a road built specifically for you to walk on. There are no wrong answers just road blocks to steer you into the right direction. Your doing great!
so happy for you michelle, its truly amazing seeing you being yourself and daring to be vulnerable on a big platform. your videos make our days and weeks more bearable
When she said the relationship she had was too good to throw away. I literally paused and checked the comment section 😳😂. Your happiness is what matters 😊
i didn't get that she went back together with Evan till i i've read the comments😂😂
i’m honestly really glad they worked it out because everyone expects like that one breakup you have to be done you can no longer speak of the other person but sometimes you just need to step back and prioritize, give time, there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you know it’s healthier then how you left the relationship
Honestly as long as you know the relationship was healthy and brought out the best in you that's all that matters ❤ It's when you know the relationship is unhealthy and your problems are deeper that those you can just talk through that people frown upon because it just seems like a dead end. I totally support your decision and so happy you guys were able to handle things like adults and ultimately make the adult decision to get back together ;) love you !
I cannot believe the message at the end. I honestly had my mouth hanging open! This could not have hit closer to home for me and I want you to know that it was definitely needed and well received!! I can’t speak for everyone but i love that you shared this with us when you were more comfortable, setting a great example for not being afraid to talk about mental health and seeking help when needed. ❤️❤️
ugh im happy for her, literally in love with Michelle and glad she knew what she wanted and was self ware of how she felt. I aspire to be half as cool as her
Michelle I've been watching you since I was a freshman, and now I'm in my last year if senior high school. The way you changed my perspective about things helped me become a much more secured person. I just wanted you to know that you were a big part if my growth and you still are♡
you inspire me so much to romanticize my own life, no matter how mundane or boring it may seem to me. also i can’t help but picture my future self in my own cute apartment, living with my dog and just having the best time of my life 🤍
bruh...we will never stop watching you.....get rid of that fear...ilysm
This warms my heart 🥺🥺 we’ll be here to support you always! So happy you guys decided to give it one more shot 🥺
Just went through the same thing in my relationship and it feels like this video was made to show me I'm on the right path. Thank you Michelle, made me feel so much better🤍
This is so cute but- I didn’t finish the pear juice 🥲 I’m glad you’re doing well Michelle! There’s nothing wrong with changing your mind/path. I’m looking forward to whatever it is you’re launching in November! This is so cute and cozy, you should do this chit chat date again soon!!
do you know how comforting it is to watch you just talk about life stuff which makes things seem a lot better to hear and easier to talk to 🤍 always feels like i'm talking to a friend over the screen. i love the way you always try to be as self aware as possible and to look at things from a self-healing perspective. 🤗
I hope you don't feel like "one of those" people who break up and get back together is a negative thing. it's actually a lot more common than people think, and whatever makes both of you healthy and happy is nothing to be judged about!
especially from your viewers, I think we all just wish you the best :)
Yea
💯
What if the person was a negative person in the relationship
@@folayemi_aina If the relationship doesn't create a mutual flow of health and happiness (per the original comment), breaking up and getting back together could be an unhealthy pattern. I'm not sure if your comment was rhetorical, but no one should stay committed to a relationship that brings out the worst in them.
@@KO-D00M it was an honest question. I had a toxic ex, i feel hes changed now but does that mean its okay to go back...thats why i asked but i appreciate ur explanation though:)
M so so so happy that u both are back together, literally have butterflies in my stomach! Seeing u both together make my heart so warm and content! Sending u lots of love Michelle 💗💗💗🫂
Haha yesss soo happyy❤️
Michelle, loved the Korean food and you’ve become such a great chef! Don’t be scared of saying you and your Ex are giving the relationship one more shot. It’s your life and you live it. You should have zero regrets if you did or didn’t return to an ex. You guys went through couples therapy and worked out all your miscommunications and issues which shows how mature you both are. I cannot wait till the launch of new fashion merch!!!
This is so weird bc the whole time I've been thinking wow - their relationship looked so beneficial for Michelle and seemed to be so good for her in like all the best ways but I was trusting the process and trying not to assume. Crazy what you can tell just through these videos! Huge support for you guys and wishing you all the best on your own individual journeys and together :)
Not Michelle taking our pear juice 🥲 jk but this was such a nice chat. So glad you’re doing better. Wishing all the best for you now and in the future 💛
omg girl getting back w an ex shouldn’t be looked down upon as much as it is! i’m glad you guys are giving it another shot. ofc i don’t know all the details of what went down, but if that relationship really helped you as a person and was something so good you didn’t want to lose, for sure get back together w them! i’m glad everything worked out in the end!
the little chit chat date was so cute and made me feel all cozy and what not 😭 I’m glad you decided to give your relationship one more try and that things are going well between you two!!! We’ll always be here to support you, we care about you!! 💗 Looking forward to what great things you’ll accomplish with little puffy and just your life in general 💗
I cried when seeing the title.. I feel too emotionally invested in your relationship with Ivan because it sincerely looks healthy. I really pray things work better and y’all stay together.. Big ups to y’all for not throwing in the towel..our generation needs a lot more of genuinely working through something genuinely good
Thank you for opening up about your post breakup! It’s very admirable of you to share such a personal side of your life. It’s refreshing to see a different perspective on a relationship than 🌈 and 🦋. It takes work and I think many people will be able to relate and take strength from it.
Girl I’m so glad you’re doing what’s making you truly happy and are opening up and sharing your life with us. Wishing you the best in all you do! Thanks for a great dinner chat!
My week isn’t complete without Freesia’s and Michelle’s uploads 🥰
And Esther! 😂🤗 (me too)
Same + esther!!!
there is something about the way you say things and romantisize life that makes me say to myself fxk everything and just do you girl. thank you for being so brave in sharing even your vulnerable side michelle, you are an inspiration. wish you all the best ♡
It’s really amazing to see how much you’ve grown and I’m not surprised at how big your channel has gotten. You’re really inspiring and you do so by being yourself and letting us watch you grow.
give yourself more credit michelle ! you’re much more stronger than you let yourself on. they way you express yourself and share your vulnerabilities, your lows and your highs. not a lot of people can do what you do and you actually help a lot of people along the way! thank you for being you ❤️
i’m literally eating carbonara right now, didn’t expect you prepared for our dinner/breakfast
GURL SAME OMG
Sameee!
OMG!! I'm so happy that you and Ivan are back together.. and I'm happy for you!! no judgement here or anything!!! Things happen.. it's normal.. We're very thankful that you're sharing this with us because honestly this is inspiring. Being able to admit that you became a better person because of this relationship and that it's too good to throw away.. I can't fully explain it all I know is I can see the maturity and open-mindedness and I am inspired to be the same. Not just in romantic relationships but also friendships and other relationships. Thanks Michelle!
It's early morning here in my country right now and waking up and seeing this after it, just makes my day complete ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Michelle,
do not worry bout the judgement. please always choose yourself without the need of worrying if you gonna offend your viewer.
im always here to support you and happy that u two are back together
This concept was so freaking cute 😭 the lights, the vibe, the flowers 🤌🏼 !! I was waiting for this week's video & it did not (never does) disappoint! So glad that you both are in a happier and healthy relationship! Thanks for always being so open & sharing your personal life with us 🥺
You are honestly the cutest human ever. You are so so humble and truly full of love. I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! Really love your style, aesthetic and ✨CONFIDENCE✨ you are so relatable and your videos has been helping me to be more productive. Thank you Michelle for being the best Vlogger❤️ Keep Glowing QUEEN 👑
*Michelle:* worrying about us judging her and leaving her
*Me:* "Sooooo, no one is going to talk about how she drank our juice 😭 You didn't even ask first"
😂😂😂 righttt
IKR
RIGHTT I WAS LIKE 👁👄👁
HAHAHAHA
I was thinking the same thing lol
She gives “first love” vibes she’s so eloquent and pretty
we will never leave you, Michelle! ur presence is such a blessing, love lots!
i'm afraid of everything lately, studies, personal and such as. but your vlog really telling me tht i'm not alone thankyou for make me less worries abt life
This may be seem random, but in terms of relationships and returning to them, I truly believe there are no rules other than “does this person treat me well and are they willing to grow with me?”
The biggest example of this in my life is my partner’s father. He got married to a woman at 21 and they divorced seven years later. He married my partner’s mom and they eventually got divorced 10 years later. After that, he received an email from his previous wife and (to drastically shorten that story) they talked, met up a few times, and realized they should get back together. They’ve been together for the last 10 years.
You never know what life will send you or where it will take you.
Amazing!
There's nothing wrong with going back to someone. Mending a relationship through healthy communication and conversation is the best thing you can do for both parties. I'm happy for you Michele :)
Yay!! I knew you and Ivan would be back. He brings out the best in you, and you two are just so cute together. So happy for you Michelle. Can’t wait for the lil puffy drop in November 🤍
Yay 😍
I’m actually kind of disappointed she got back with Ivan 😢 I think Michelle should meet other people.
@@soemish why? I think Ivan is good 🙄
@@meii2387 maybe it’s just my observation, but in their latest Q&A video I didn’t like how he tried to analyse and intellectualise why it’s futile for him to apologise/butter Mish up first after an argument despite her desire to want him to take the initiative and do so. I don’t like how he rationalises and is very calculating about his emotions and showing affection. It’s probably out of habit from his job as a lawyer. I also work in Finance at Ernst & Young and have met men who are similar to Ivan. I’m not saying Ivan is a bad person, but Michelle is a very generous and warm girl and I believe she deserves a man who is as giving as her. I think as long as Ivan and Mish are willing to work on this they can continue to have a fruitful relationship.
@@soemish agreed completely, she deserves better. IMO a relationship that needs so much work to 'mend' shows some hints of incompatibility. I also observed in many ways in those videos Ivan has a very self-centered personality. It's tough to get out of a relationship to move on when she really did put so much effort into it. But well it's Mish's life and I wish her all the best. But just that the longer the time being put into it, the harder to get out of it. So it's a very important decision to make. At the end of the day, the goal is to think what leads to happiness in the long term. would same problems repeat themselves? just remember that it's impossible to change one's personality.
I’m so happy for you ! I thought you two were great together and I’m glad you were able to work things out. We are all human and we need to make mistakes to grow and learn ❤️
I am that person trying to move on from a relationship and when Michelle mentioned that hope her sharing could help someone… just hit me so hard 🥺 so I’m watching this video three times now 😂 I’d love to watch Michelle doing a video on therapies (q&a, how she found the therapist, whether she used some online therapy platform or not) cuz I’ve been actually considering it for myself and I’d feel more confident going into it with your help… ❤️
I'm SO HAPPY for you Michelle!! I always thought you and Ivan were so great together. Your second anniversary doughnut eating video is my all time fave
-- neither of you could stop laughing and it really touched my heart!
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing, Michelle. Happy to hear you are healing, repairing, and allowing growth in your relationship. Keep doing what you do as you are a weekly inspiration for others and myself!
the amount of hope and serotonin watching Michelle’s videos gives 🥺
Im really bad at words but seriously been a fan of Michelle since she was in Korea until now has been one of the happiest things I have ever done, literally my comfort
Michelle, thank you for always being so vulnerable and down to earth in your living alone diaries. I bought the mint sweatshirt just now and will be looking forward to seeing more videos in the future. You created a space for people to come together and show that it's okay to not be everything that social media wants people to see. You've encouraged me to be myself with anxiety and all the things that bother me and to continue on a journey to get better and enjoy life the way that I want to enjoy it. Hope to meet you one day!
Every relationship is different and screw anyone that will judge you for getting back with someone you truly love, that shows maturity and I am so glad you shared this with us because I also went thru a break up a month ago and we are currently back together working it out. Thank you Michelle for making me feel less judged and alone in my situation 🙌🏻
after being in a 16 year relationship full of breakups & makeups with the same guy and sharing every end of painful conversation about it to my best friends and family, I can honestly say I've become the best at learning to communicate my emotions openly to my now fiance. I now am never scared of being honest or being judged about how I truly feel in every way, intimate or not. It moulds you into a woman of integrity and that's something no one can teach you but yourself.
I won't stop watching your videos, I love them. I really appreciate your down to earth, fun, aesthetically pleasing videos.
I’m so happy for you and love how you show all sides the highs n the lows
watching your living alone diaries always gets me thru my own living alone situation. I've been so used to living around others e.g. in a flat w friends or with my parents and my cat that, adjusting to really living alone was kind of difficult. but I got through the lonely meal times while watching your vlogs
Low key Ivan was on the left/right side eating the platter of food 😂 while she said it was prepared for us 🤣
한글자막 매번 감사해요 !! 한국에도 미쉘님 팬이 많아요 ㅜㅜ!!
Congratulations on your growth it's so admirable to realize that there is work to be done in you, but even more brave that you were able to lean into doing it instead of running away from it. Growing is so hard especially when it involves relationships and other people. That's so awesome congrats Michelle.
Michelle we love u. PERIOD.
So happy for you and the positive growth you've been experiencing in your life and relationship! ❤
I don’t normally comment on peoples youtube. But after watching your TH-cam, it helped me a lot. It’s been very difficult for me because my family has taken COViD super serious and treated it as the initial lockdown. I haven’t seen my bf in almost 2 years and it wasn’t recently until he wanted to break up that I started to notice that I’ve been suppressing my feelings. After 6 years of being together, I finally had to courage to tell my family and it resulted into a shit show. You openly talking about relationship, has given me hope that I can try and mend my relationship if I work on myself, so thank you!!
Thank you Michelle for preparing a wonderful meal. I liked the flowers on the table and as always I feel you are very natural on the screen. I was also happy Dobby made an appearance, I have a smile from it. Take care of yourself and enjoy the comfy collection. Anything that lets you smile, is a good thing!
michelle i hope you never feel to scared to ever share or not share anything with us. we love you so much and we will support you in no matter what you do! you seem so happy now and i hope you continue to put your happiness first in everything you do💕
She's so cute that it makes my heart warm and fuzzy
I would never stop watching you Michelle. Your videos save me from depression.
Honestly I’m so happy to hear you are giving it another shot and how you shared that with us! Sending you lots of love!!
Relationship will never be perfect. You have to do what you need to do. Only you know what’s best for you. Everything is a learning experience.
Her vlogs always gets me going throughout the week. Doing my own stuff while watching her videos makes me feel less lonely ❤
I'm Japanese, but I always enjoy videos with English subtitles on TH-cam. I love Michelle's videos 𖠚ᐝ
Definition of class, you’re a queen! Hope you’re doing well in NY!
Hi Michelle, I coincidentally ran over your video that TH-cam recommended for me and I was so thankful that I found you. I thought I was the only one who lived alone in US & always being alone, how sad it is , and now by watching your videos, i don’t feel bad & sad anymore 😁 Your videos are very creative and make my days. Thank you 😊
This made me feel so safe and everything looks so delicious!!! Would you do a video recommending your favourite k dramas ? ❤️✨
You have great strength for being able to share your life with the world. That is not easy.
Kudos to you and the reconciliation. It’s ok to be alone or in a healthy relationship.
This is what I call effortlessly elegant ❤️
omg michelle iplease do know how your channel brings so much joy to me, and to a lot of people, I always gets exciteed when you post new videos. Just watching your vlogs comforts me so much.
