"Lets get ordinary" ...how refreshing to hear this . I love your carefully crafted blogs but this was such a lovely reminder that what we see on social media is not the full picture. Thank you 🌹
I'm only half way through this video and had to pause to say that you are a one woman filming studio Morgan! You are so good that your audience doesn't even realize there's a camera filming your life, it just feels effortless and lovely. You are so incredibly talented! I wonder if you even realize how phenomenal you are and how hardworking and intelligent and incredible you and your work is to us
Ahhh, Kasia YOU are the best! Seriously, you have an endless amount of sunshine to share with the world and I'm always so blown away by how positive and caring you are. I'm so happy that you found my channel and decided to shine your light here. Thank you for seeing and understanding me, and for appreciating my videos (and everything that goes into them)
This wasn't just entertaining and very charming, I think it was one of your most important videos As you say we take stuff we see on Instagram for real and compere us to it I deleted Instagram five months ago and my life is so much better! You gave us a glimpse behind the camera and I loved it!
I really want to say that I have found your channel just at the best moment, a moment that I was, and that I still struggling. Feeling so lost and confuse every day your videos feels like free therapy for me. You make me realise how lucky I am just for the very fact of existing, and that I don't need to fit some extraordinary expectations to actually be extraordinary and enjoy my life. Every time I feel down, or finding hard to breath because the anxiety, I come to your videos. You are really helping me getting through this, and some way also helping me to find my true path, and for that I am eternal grateful to you ❤
Your words definitely strike a chord with my heart Ann Beth ❤ I'm so sorry to hear that it's been hard to breathe lately. With struggling and anxiety, everyday can be so hard. A couple years ago, I struggled with anxiety and even though I wasn't afraid of driving, I'd always have these episodes when I got into my car where I couldn't breathe. It's a really scary, confusing thing to experience. Similar to you, I found so much comfort in TH-cam. I'd watch my favorite TH-camr's videos and begin to see my life through their positive perspective. Things felt more inviting and exciting! It actually makes me cry (happy tears) to know that you find this comfort in my videos. Your life and the small, simple moments are absolutely extraordinary, friend. And I'm so grateful for you!
@@MorganLong Now I'm crying too, I've seen a lots of your videos lately and I already relate a lot with your story, and some how the fact that you're actually saying it to me makes it so much real, and I can't stop crying. That time when you told your story, that you were at what you called "rock bottom" I couldn't help myself but start crying really crying, because I relate to you, I'm at that place now, I even find comfort in your TH-cam videos, I dare to say that you are my Cheyenne. It's really hard that the simply fact of breathing feels so overwhelming, like choking all the time. But seeing you, hearing you, I really think now there's a chance for me to get through this just like you did. Gives me a lot of hope. I want you to know how much I admire you. Really. You feel like a friend and I'm grateful that I ever get to you in a moment that I totally need it ❤
I know how much work goes into creating a production, whether it's online, or onstage, or a party, or what have you... and I'm aware how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing the prepped, polished, and edited presentation with the meandering, sometimes stressful or chaotic, and often silly unfolding that is our life in real time. (Although I do have moments so magical and so perfect that it's hard to imagine they are real.) But, like you, I feel blessed even when my morning cuppa shares the counter with stacked dishes I didn't get around to washing the night before, or when reading in my backyard swing has a music track of cars going by out on the highway. This is such an important message. Hugs to you for this offering
Good day to you Miss Morgan! 😊 You won’t guess where I am going with some friends tomorrow….? I’m going to Glastonbury in England as there is a special Lions Gate Ceremony on the Tor …..very sacred special spiritual place ….!on the way We are going to Jane Austin village ….! where she lived in Chawton Hampshire…! So I laughed when I saw your latest video this morning! We will walk to the church where her mother and Sister are laid to rest .. then down the lane to her brothers house.. very grand ! The village feels like it is a hundred years ago when there … we will sit opposite her house and look and feel and think of you as I know you would love to be there too 😁 so … Farewell … for now and have a merry day ! 😆😆🌸
Hahaha dogs are so hilarious!! It's just the same trying to keep my children out of videos! Oh my goodness seeing behind the scenes you have such infinite patience, wow. It's so fascinating to see just how much work and dedication goes into your beautiful work. I have to say that I don't follow any content that makes me feel bad about myself or my life, all the content I watch, such as yours, lifts me and inspires me. You've always had truth and realness in your videos, they never ever feel fake (which I love!) I think Facebook used to make me feel a bit too comparative when I was younger, but I don't use it now. Those I follow on TH-cam and Instagram only inspire 💛 xxx
How can you not laugh out loud at all the moments Morgan predicted that Rue would appear in some spot, and then magically, there he was?!! Wow, my eyes were truly opened to just a taste of what it means to get just the right angle, not to mention a whole video’s worth😍 You are amazing! We all need to see a “behind the scenes” every once in a while to really appreciate what is involved in their creation. Thank you, thank you, for all you do, and continue to do, so we can enjoy and be inspired by these marvelous works♥️
I think every content creator should be required to make a video like this and pin it to the top of their page. This is great, Morgan! Thanks for sharing.
Even though the act of filming can appear ridiculous to you at times, what matters is that you manage to make the result look very poetic, relaxing and it really inspires me to take a moment to slow down and enjoy the small things. Thank you for your work and patience!
Your point about access to different places was Well said Morgan! I might be taking this to a whole different level but some people sell themselves short when they dismiss things and think that they will never get to do that or they’ll never have a life like that. When we see people’s lives on tv or social media it is just a small piece.
Exactly! When I first moved to Portland, going to a park by myself gave me SO MUCH anxiety. It was an ordeal! So I empathize with other people who don't feel they can do something like I did in this morning routine....and there are people who truly don't have access to nature. This is just my gentle way of showing people what they do have access to, their ordinary, can/is actually just as extraordinary as what they see in my videos.
ปีที่แล้ว
I loved how you showed both the "romanticized" version of your morning routine as well as how it really looks behind the scenes!
Dear Morgan, thank you for reminding of how the real life can be. As for me, social media constantly makes me restless and I feel like I live a dull life and never will be able to do enough. This feeling is so depressive. I think that people should always remember that those polished pictures and videos are just a facade and we’ll never see what’s going on behind it. Thanks for reminding that we are already enough as we are!!
Morgan I think this video really proves how skilful and talented you are behind a camera! I admire you so much for showing the behind the scenes and thank you for bringing it to light in such an eye opening way. As always, your videos are a treasure
Thank you so much, Emma! It feels so good to be recognized in such a way ❤️ It wasn’t at all my intention to “show off”… I really just wanted everyone to see how normal my life is but how my camera and perspective make it look so romantic. I really do try to see my life the same way I see it through my lens and videos and I’d really love for other people to be able to see their lives the same way. We’re all doing the best we can ☀️
I really love that you are doing this, and how you care for people to see the reality behind 3 minutes of a "perfect" morning. I love that you don't just make the dog move, but rather adjust your whole work :)
Thank you so much, friend! I don't ever make RoO or Landon move if I am filming. They are living their lives and they don't need to pause just so I can film-- this is something really important to me and I'm so happy you noticed and appreciate it! RoO sends his highest regards 🐾
Thank you so much for showing the other side of your gorgeous clips! I once made an autumnal evening routine video, and although the routine looks easy if you just watch the video, the reality is that I filmed in in multiple days, because if I would film all the clips in one evening, I wouldn’t have time for my actual routine, only for taking the different shots of each shortened activity (shorter than if I weren’t filming my evening). It’s so nice to see that someone else also takes her time for the shots and that it’s okay if the actual morning that you’re filming might not feel super relaxed and casual when you’re doing it (because you’re also working to create footage that you’re happy with), but that when you edit it together and have those 3 minutes of you going through the routine, it does represent how you would view your world if you were not filming your morning. Filming a routine takes longer in the moment than the routine itself, but the end result is still realistic if you edit it together if that makes sense. Again, thank you so much for this very relatable video!✨💛
Oh Morgan! Every time I watch your video, I tear up. Your soul shines through. Your videos truly heal me. They somehow talk to my inner child. I'm yet to figure out how but they truly do. I love you so, so much. I really don't know if I will ever get to meet you but I feel lucky to live in a world that you live in. Life is truly extraordinary
Oh my goodness, I love how you show the reality of being a content creator. It was still so calming and relaxing to watch. Your energy is so beautiful. My cat does the same thing when I’m filming, she usually jumps right in front of the camera and plays with the mic 😂
I took a break for a few weeks from TH-cam, but every Friday I thought about you posting new videos and got excited about it. I truly appreciate your honesty and your work! You create so beautiful videos and I find so much comfort and joy in them. The message from this video is so important and I think it helps a lot of people to realize that reality is not what we see on the internet, but it's all these little moments that truly matter. You are really amazing and thank you for sharing such an important message ! 💛
IMO you're not doing anything fake. I think most of us know some days are not the best for everyone but you're videos bring out the magic of reading and in that we all escape. I watch your read with me videos almost every day and in that moment with the music and my books life is just that perfect. If anything you're teaching us how to create our own happiness and perfect moments. I for one am very much appreciative of it.
Oh how I miss your videos and your beautiful self! I have been having a rough year just dealing with mental hardships. I am a single mom and I feel like I carry the world and everyone’s problems on my shoulders. I have drifted away from God, my friends, and family. You have no idea how much this video meant to me! I live in Arizona so it’s not Fall yet 😭 but I imagined I was on the nature with you. My parents live in Vancouver and I’m wanting to move that way! My soul needs beautiful nature and seasons!
I came cross your channel a few weeks back now, and having enjoyed some of your videos so far I have to say - I always feel like you're being real ♡ But I also know first hand all the behind the scenes effort it takes to make a video, and I guess that's helpful in keeping a good perspective 🙂🙏🏼 Have a lovely day and thank you for creating your beautiful, inspiering and honest videos 😊🌲🙏🏼
Thank you so much for making videos Morgan! Romanticizing, mom life feels particularly difficult, and your videos are a welcome break of peace in what is mostly a hectic day.
I don’t know how you do it. It’s a lot of hard work. Kudos to you! Love your channel, especially book conversations ❤️ Highly appreciate the work you do! Million thanks 🥰
This channel is really my safe place and it was really funny showing the reality and the struggle behind the camera thank you for being so real this video was really comfort for me to watch! THANK YOU MO
Dear Morgan, I have a lot going on and was starting to feel super anxious and overwhelmed at work. Then I decided to look for a video on your channel I hadn’t seen. Your personality is so kind and compassionate that I always know you will make me feel seen and I will feel better. I have so much love for you and an so grateful for the times you have unknowingly picked me up🧡
Hey Morgan 🌻 Thank you for this video which shows the huge work and the time it takes to make a vlog. I think it's wonderful what you do, you and the other vloggers. I wouldn't have the patience and even less the motivation because of the constraints (noise, lights, hours etc...) but I know that doing the same scene again from different angles, and suddenly losing this spontaneous and natural side of the moment would demotivate me quickly. It's really hard work, but with such magnificent results! Thank you very much for all this time and sharing your daily life. PS: your dog made me laugh 🐶😅
What a creative way to document your morning. Your videos are extraordinary and so beautiful! You are so humble and sweet! I love the appearance of your pup! 💕
I really appreciate how you showed us this side of your life. I’m always comparing my life to those I see on social media and feel like I’m doing something wrong- that my home should always be immaculate and that I have to do the most if I want that kind of life. I understand that what you see online isn’t always reality- but some part of your brain still wants you to believe everything you see. I loved this video so much
I LOVED the second half of this video. When I was first starting out, I constantly got so down on myself feeling like my footage wasn’t “artsy” enough, so seeing the behind the scenes of one of your aesthetic videos is kind of nice to see that we all struggle with the right focus and camera angles and such
I appreciate your honesty so much!✨As well as the amount of work you put into every shot 🌸I normally get up at 6.30 am as I love the silence of the city in the morning - it allows me get that peaceful morning I miss so dearly from before I moved to Copenhagen to study and this video just hit the cosiness spot for me ☀🪴🧡
Thank you so much, Maya friend! There really is something so magical about those early mornings. No matter where we are or what life is like at the moment, the sunrise is always comforting 🧡
I am so behind on videos and trying to catch up this week. I just wanted to pop in and say that I love all of your videos and the hard work that you put into them really shows! They are so comforting and pleasing to the eye and the soul. It's so fun to feel like a part of your life every time you post a video. I also wanted to say this video was so much fun! I giggled so many times, especially when Roo did exactly what you said he would. Cracked me up! Thank you, Morgan, for all that you do!
Thank you for being so real with your viewers! 🤍🌺✨ As someone who makes videos for fun, it was awesome to see that I’m not the only one doing weird inventive things to get the right angle and lighting 🤣 and all those retakes because of curious pets, so hilariously relatable! 😂
Your videos are so helpful when it’s hard for me to relax to help calm my anxiety. I love your personality and hope to one day find a friend like you. Cheers to you!
I really appreciate this format! We can enjoy a romantic sequence of a morning and then see the reality of other types of mornings and I just love it. I also tend to compare myself a lot when it comes to social media and it's a creativity killer. That's why I enjoyed so so much your video, thank you for sharing both sides it is oh so appreciated 💜
Love that you added the realistic behind the scenes. The parts with your sweet doggy were my favorite :D Love to see those interactions between animals and their humans. Have a lovely weekend.
This is such a good video! Thank you for being so transparent. It was really nice to watch. Also, your dog getting up after you got comfy was very relatable! I have cats, and if they’re in the seat I want, as soon as I get comfy in another seat, they get up.
Thank you so much for appreciating my video! Hahaha I LOVE that animals do that. I think RoO finds it very entertaining to watch me move from place to place at his will 😂
Loved your transparency! Loved hilarious Mr Roo! Thanks for the video! I can definitely see the work you do to make your videos seem so flawless!!! What book are you currently enjoying on the video?!?
Stumbling across your channel was a complete serendipity. I am so happy I found you! Every one of your videos is a complete piece of art. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
You are adorable. This video was really fun and entertaining! I always think when I see videos shot in a store or trail that the person has to prop their camera up on shelves or on the ground and walk away from it to get the shot!
Yes, that's exactly what happens! Whenever I'm filming myself in a store, my camera is hidden among things on a shelf and I'm holding my breath, on high alert, hoping no one walks by!
It’s always refreshing to watch another creator at work and to know we all have the same struggles (down to the dog getting in your shots 👏🏼) & the work that goes into every shot can be exhausting (but worth it for the end result). I found extra comfort in this 😂 So appreciate your realness, Morgan!
It made me laugh when Roo got up like you said he would! 😂 Your videos always bring me joy. I never feel bad after watching them. Thank you for your honesty.❤
Hello Morgan from Northern California! Oh, it is 9pm on Friday and I am just getting to see this, after a crazy full day of being out of the house....But rather it is first thing in the morning or last few minutes of night....I am delight to see a video from you. What a joy and a way to end the day...Thank you, for another peaceful day...I live in between a city and college town, that is currently crazy town of confusion and "oh my goddess, what is happening in the town I live in...but it will be fine and I will be fine and I, too am just a lower class, middle class person, who struggles has moments of plentiful, moments of "oh no, what am I going to do?? and moments of it is just going to be okay, I got this, and give the cat a hug aka Oreo...who longingly looks at me with love, bewilderment and warmth...so I am grateful, okay with not having fancy crap...because I love the hand-me downs of stuff, that have histories and stories of places, I have never been to, may never go too and so on. So no fancies and before I go overboard and overwhelmed and As always, I wish you lots of happiness, joy, great filled moments of pleasure....and abundances. Love the video of what life is like just filming, which I image and can see is not perfect. Oh, well that life and it does go on and on..........much love, teas of many kinds, books and warm summer days.
This video is pure art. So beautiful and creative. Hope all is well with your sweet pup. Mine insists on being the first and most important part of my morning!
What a great way to show us the behind the scenes and all the work that needs to be done , much appreciated! Enjoyed it from begin till end and had to laugh with Mr Roo 's contribution 😅Thank you to bring a smile on my face 🙏🍀
Morgan thank you from the bottom of my heart ❣ as at the moment I am really really struggling with my thoughts and mental health issues so watching your videos and amazing channel seems to bring a smile to my face and I am using your reading videos for my reading 📖 so thank you again love your family friend John from Australia xxxx
I love the behind the scenes! Can you show us how you go about filming in public? Like the shots of you and a friend at a cafe? I alway wonder if you have a tripod set up. Same with the book store shots. Thanks for this. As always, your videos are delightful!!
Yes! Most of the time it's me hiding my camera on a shelf, holding my breath on high-alert, acting normal while hoping no one walks by and sees the camera 😅
Morgan your channel is so special to me! I’ve often felt ‘boring’ when I’m so happy just being and reading and walking in nature but it’s not boring - it’s extraordinary! I feel so calm and happy watching your videos and you’re truly the only creator that I really feel connected to - thank you for all you do! ✨
I wanted to tell that you never made me feel bad because your videos look good! Social media IS unrealistic. It's fine because we're not necessary looking for realistic. The world is realistic enoug. You love the beautiful, the whimsical, the quiet. Thank you for that. Thank for showing me something that makes me forget the ugliness of the world that sometimes creeps up. Continue like this please, because your creations are helping me escape from my day. I whish you the best! (PS: as I couldn't get enough, I also got into your Patreon. This goes to show.
I just found your channel Morgan and I can’t stop watching all of your videos! You are such a delight to watch! I have thoroughly enjoyed every video that I’ve watched so far! And you are vegan on top of everything else!?!? You are a kindred spirit to be sure!🥰
This was great, Morgan! I love seeing the behind the scenes footage and having you talk about the process. I'm so glad you are discussing the topic of social media and viewer's not comparing themselves to what they are watching. I agree with you that it can be extremely destructive and I applaud your addressing this issue. I also laughed along with you during parts of your video. Thank you so much!!!
I love that you did a video on how you film. I feel people often don't realise all the work behind a video or any creative work for that matter. Roo is just hilarious. :D Also, this video was also very magical, as always. :)
Thank you so so much, Lily friend ✨💛 I'm reading all my comments but can't respond to them all-- just so you know, there are specific people I try to always respond to and YOU are one of them. I appreciate you ✨💛
Hey Morgan, it's been so long I haven't commented. Your channel is such a wholesome place to be. This video was a pure delight to watch. You are so courageous and honest at the same time to show the real side of filming. It's real life. Sending hugs far and wide🌼🌻
Me gusta mucho todo lo que haces. Valoro mucho tanto trabajo que hay detrás de tus vídeos. Aprecio mucho la energía positiva que le pones y todas tus ganas. Eres una persona maravillosa, eres una buena persona y solo se te puede desear lo mejor en tu vida todos los días. Me alegro haberte encontrado en TH-cam y tienes una amiga en España. Gracias por tu vídeo de hoy. Buena semana 🤗🌅🍦🍦🍦
Watching this Sat morning on a perfect sunny day and this just makes the vibes! Me and Jess have been talking a lot this week and that's thanks to you Mo!! I knew before how hard you must work but it was so good and refreshing to see a behind the scenes !! Rest up this weekend Mo, sending love xx
loooooooove this video. every bit. so relatable but also inspirational. I don’t see that often. Thanks for the honesty. Made me feel less anxious today :)
Well this video made me smile from ear to ear. Loved it. I enjoyed watching all those lovely early morning moments with you. The bird song, pine needle tea that is so good, your lovely outfit, and sitting on a blanket in the park watching the sunrise. Your reading and writing in your journal and having breakfast of an apple and toast. It really did give off romantic dare I say it Austen vibes. :) Then it was fun to see all the behind the scenes of making your morning video and of course Roo had to be in the shot even if not planned. He is quite adorable and he knows it. I loved your wise and wonderful counsel too. It is important to stress that you do not have to be extraordinary to live an extraordinary life. You have a great weekend Morgan.
I love how this video was really just Roo being the best little Production Assistant (Assistant Director?) of all time. Thank you for being you, Morgan!
I love your channel so much and loved the message behind this video! Your videos bring such a relaxing comfort feeling every time I watch or rewatch them. ❤
This video was such a breath of fresh air! I’m definitely someone who has a terrible habit of comparing my life to others, especially on social media but it has definitely gotten worse once I hit my thirties. Seeing people I know getting married and/or having kids and I’m sitting in my little home still exceptionally single. So I just wanted to say thank you for this video, for reminding me that the mundane everyday aspects of life are still beautiful. After watching, I deleted my Instagram account and gave the little home I built for myself a great big ordinary hug🤗 ❤️
I love this so much, Victoria friend! Thank you for sharing ❤ I know our situations are different as I have Landon, but I am familiar with the some of the pressures you're feeling. Everyone's raising their eyebrows at Landon and me wondering why the heck aren't you married? While all my friends left and right are getting married and now many of them are becoming pregnant. I'm happy for the all but it's not what I want for my life at the moment. There's no right or wrong way to be. You are more than enough, your matter, live however your want to ❤
I just want to thank you for all you do. I love your videos and look forward to every single one. They have actually changed my perspective of life. You are such a genuine good person and I am so happy I found you. Take care and take time out for you.
Oh wow this is the first video I have ever watched of yours and I feel as if I have discovered something magical! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to produce these videos - you are so incredibly talented ❤️
Watching this the second time and i learn so much from this. thanks for showing us the behind the scenes! so relatable with all the camera angle struggles lol. And Roo is cute as always! Best camera assistant :)
Thank you so much for sharing this less glamorous side of TH-cam videos! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar and it’s so incredibly refreshing. I love everything you create, of course, but this is important ❤️
thank you for sharing this video with all the behind the scenes, Morgan. this message is so important and we all need to remember that what we see on social media rarely is what real life actually looks like. you and the content you create never fail to inspire me and put me in a good mood☀️ thank you so much for everything🙏🌻
"Lets get ordinary" ...how refreshing to hear this . I love your carefully crafted blogs but this was such a lovely reminder that what we see on social media is not the full picture.
Thank you 🌹

I'm so happy that you found my channel and decided to shine your light here. Thank you for seeing and understanding me, and for appreciating my videos (and everything that goes into them)
Yes I was thinking the same. I hope one day you can hire a camera woman and you can just be the director :)
Totally agree with every single word of this comment !
I couldn’t agree more!
I'm so drawn to your videos because they make me feel the most adequate. Thank you for being real.
This wasn't just entertaining and very charming, I think it was one of your most important videos
As you say we take stuff we see on Instagram for real and compere us to it
I deleted Instagram five months ago and my life is so much better!
You gave us a glimpse behind the camera and I loved it!
I really want to say that I have found your channel just at the best moment, a moment that I was, and that I still struggling. Feeling so lost and confuse every day your videos feels like free therapy for me. You make me realise how lucky I am just for the very fact of existing, and that I don't need to fit some extraordinary expectations to actually be extraordinary and enjoy my life. Every time I feel down, or finding hard to breath because the anxiety, I come to your videos. You are really helping me getting through this, and some way also helping me to find my true path, and for that I am eternal grateful to you ❤

I adore this video Morgan! I loved to see the behind the scenes of your filming :) x
I know how much work goes into creating a production, whether it's online, or onstage, or a party, or what have you... and I'm aware how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing the prepped, polished, and edited presentation with the meandering, sometimes stressful or chaotic, and often silly unfolding that is our life in real time. (Although I do have moments so magical and so perfect that it's hard to imagine they are real.) But, like you, I feel blessed even when my morning cuppa shares the counter with stacked dishes I didn't get around to washing the night before, or when reading in my backyard swing has a music track of cars going by out on the highway. This is such an important message. Hugs to you for this offering
This is so beautifully written/said, friend. I think you understand exactly, the heart of the message I was trying to convey. Hugs to you 💛
Good day to you Miss Morgan! 😊
You won’t guess where I am going with some friends tomorrow….?
I’m going to Glastonbury in England as there is a special Lions Gate Ceremony on the Tor …..very sacred special spiritual place ….!on the way
We are going to Jane Austin village ….!
where she lived in
Chawton Hampshire…!
So I laughed when I saw your latest video this morning!
We will walk to the church where her mother and Sister are laid to rest .. then down the lane to her brothers house.. very grand !
The village feels like it is a hundred years ago when there … we will sit opposite her house and look and feel and think of you as I know you would love to be there too 😁 so … Farewell … for now and have a merry day !
😆😆🌸
We all had a wonderful time at Glastonbury! I wish I could send you a photo! If you ever come over to GB 🇬🇧 it’s so worth a visit!
🌺
Hahaha dogs are so hilarious!! It's just the same trying to keep my children out of videos!
Oh my goodness seeing behind the scenes you have such infinite patience, wow. It's so fascinating to see just how much work and dedication goes into your beautiful work.

Thank you, thank you, for all you do, and continue to do, so we can enjoy and be inspired by these marvelous works♥️
Morgan you inspire me to find the romance in everyday life, and remind me how to celebrate/enjoy the little things in life. Thank you! ❤
I think the message behind this video is so so important! thank you for filming and sharing
I think every content creator should be required to make a video like this and pin it to the top of their page. This is great, Morgan! Thanks for sharing.
This was absolutely amazing. Your dog getting up from the chair you wanted to sit in, hilarious!! Love your channel Morgan!
Even though the act of filming can appear ridiculous to you at times, what matters is that you manage to make the result look very poetic, relaxing and it really inspires me to take a moment to slow down and enjoy the small things. Thank you for your work and patience!
Thank you for saying this, friend
Your point about access to different places was Well said Morgan! I might be taking this to a whole different level but some people sell themselves short when they dismiss things and think that they will never get to do that or they’ll never have a life like that. When we see people’s lives on tv or social media it is just a small piece.
Exactly! When I first moved to Portland, going to a park by myself gave me SO MUCH anxiety. It was an ordeal! So I empathize with other people who don't feel they can do something like I did in this morning routine....and there are people who truly don't have access to nature. This is just my gentle way of showing people what they do have access to, their ordinary, can/is actually just as extraordinary as what they see in my videos.
I loved how you showed both the "romanticized" version of your morning routine as well as how it really looks behind the scenes!
Dear Morgan, thank you for reminding of how the real life can be. As for me, social media constantly makes me restless and I feel like I live a dull life and never will be able to do enough. This feeling is so depressive. I think that people should always remember that those polished pictures and videos are just a facade and we’ll never see what’s going on behind it.
Thanks for reminding that we are already enough as we are!!
I struggle with the same feelings, Kate friend
Morgan I think this video really proves how skilful and talented you are behind a camera! I admire you so much for showing the behind the scenes and thank you for bringing it to light in such an eye opening way. As always, your videos are a treasure
Thank you so much, Emma! It feels so good to be recognized in such a way ❤️ It wasn’t at all my intention to “show off”… I really just wanted everyone to see how normal my life is but how my camera and perspective make it look so romantic. I really do try to see my life the same way I see it through my lens and videos and I’d really love for other people to be able to see their lives the same way. We’re all doing the best we can ☀️
I really love that you are doing this, and how you care for people to see the reality behind 3 minutes of a "perfect" morning. I love that you don't just make the dog move, but rather adjust your whole work :)
Thank you so much, friend! I don't ever make RoO or Landon move if I am filming. They are living their lives and they don't need to pause just so I can film-- this is something really important to me and I'm so happy you noticed and appreciate it! RoO sends his highest regards 🐾
Thank you so much for showing the other side of your gorgeous clips! I once made an autumnal evening routine video, and although the routine looks easy if you just watch the video, the reality is that I filmed in in multiple days, because if I would film all the clips in one evening, I wouldn’t have time for my actual routine, only for taking the different shots of each shortened activity (shorter than if I weren’t filming my evening). It’s so nice to see that someone else also takes her time for the shots and that it’s okay if the actual morning that you’re filming might not feel super relaxed and casual when you’re doing it (because you’re also working to create footage that you’re happy with), but that when you edit it together and have those 3 minutes of you going through the routine, it does represent how you would view your world if you were not filming your morning. Filming a routine takes longer in the moment than the routine itself, but the end result is still realistic if you edit it together if that makes sense. Again, thank you so much for this very relatable video!✨💛
Oh Morgan! Every time I watch your video, I tear up. Your soul shines through. Your videos truly heal me. They somehow talk to my inner child. I'm yet to figure out how but they truly do. I love you so, so much. I really don't know if I will ever get to meet you but I feel lucky to live in a world that you live in. Life is truly extraordinary
Oh my goodness, I love how you show the reality of being a content creator. It was still so calming and relaxing to watch. Your energy is so beautiful. My cat does the same thing when I’m filming, she usually jumps right in front of the camera and plays with the mic 😂
I took a break for a few weeks from TH-cam, but every Friday I thought about you posting new videos and got excited about it. I truly appreciate your honesty and your work! You create so beautiful videos and I find so much comfort and joy in them. The message from this video is so important and I think it helps a lot of people to realize that reality is not what we see on the internet, but it's all these little moments that truly matter. You are really amazing and thank you for sharing such an important message ! 💛
All your videos are amazing but this might be one of my absolute favorites!!!
As a TH-camr, I can so relate!! I was laughing watching your behind the scenes! So spot on! I really enjoyed your video!! Hugs! Karen
Lovely ordinary. With touches of imagination it can be extraordinary.
IMO you're not doing anything fake. I think most of us know some days are not the best for everyone but you're videos bring out the magic of reading and in that we all escape. I watch your read with me videos almost every day and in that moment with the music and my books life is just that perfect. If anything you're teaching us how to create our own happiness and perfect moments. I for one am very much appreciative of it.
Thank you so so much for sharing this, friend. It makes my heart very happy 💛 Happy reading!
Oh how I miss your videos and your beautiful self! I have been having a rough year just dealing with mental hardships. I am a single mom and I feel like I carry the world and everyone’s problems on my shoulders. I have drifted away from God, my friends, and family. You have no idea how much this video meant to me! I live in Arizona so it’s not Fall yet 😭 but I imagined I was on the nature with you. My parents live in Vancouver and I’m wanting to move that way! My soul needs beautiful nature and seasons!
Roo's like I'm just trying to see what you're up to every morning gawd🤣🤣🤣.
I came cross your channel a few weeks back now, and having enjoyed some of your videos so far I have to say - I always feel like you're being real ♡ But I also know first hand all the behind the scenes effort it takes to make a video, and I guess that's helpful in keeping a good perspective 🙂🙏🏼 Have a lovely day and thank you for creating your beautiful, inspiering and honest videos 😊🌲🙏🏼
Thank you so much for making videos Morgan! Romanticizing, mom life feels particularly difficult, and your videos are a welcome break of peace in what is mostly a hectic day.
I don’t know how you do it. It’s a lot of hard work.
Kudos to you!
Love your channel, especially book conversations ❤️
Highly appreciate the work you do! Million thanks 🥰
Thank you so much, Tami friend!!
This channel is really my safe place and it was really funny showing the reality and the struggle behind the camera thank you for being so real this video was really comfort for me to watch! THANK YOU MO
THANK YOU, IRENE
Dear Morgan, I have a lot going on and was starting to feel super anxious and overwhelmed at work. Then I decided to look for a video on your channel I hadn’t seen. Your personality is so kind and compassionate that I always know you will make me feel seen and I will feel better. I have so much love for you and an so grateful for the times you have unknowingly picked me up🧡
Hey Morgan 🌻
Thank you for this video which shows the huge work and the time it takes to make a vlog. I think it's wonderful what you do, you and the other vloggers. I wouldn't have the patience and even less the motivation because of the constraints (noise, lights, hours etc...) but I know that doing the same scene again from different angles, and suddenly losing this spontaneous and natural side of the moment would demotivate me quickly. It's really hard work, but with such magnificent results! Thank you very much for all this time and sharing your daily life.
PS: your dog made me laugh 🐶😅
What a creative way to document your morning. Your videos are extraordinary and so beautiful! You are so humble and sweet! I love the appearance of your pup! 💕
Such an adorable video, Morgan! I loved the part where Roo sat in your chair and then got up! So cute. 😘
I look forward to your videos so much!!! We also just adopted a puppy and he reminds me so much of M. Roo-- hello from Mollusk in NYC!!
Awww hugs to your puppy! RoO sends his regards 🐾
I really appreciate how you showed us this side of your life. I’m always comparing my life to those I see on social media and feel like I’m doing something wrong- that my home should always be immaculate and that I have to do the most if I want that kind of life. I understand that what you see online isn’t always reality- but some part of your brain still wants you to believe everything you see. I loved this video so much
I LOVED the second half of this video. When I was first starting out, I constantly got so down on myself feeling like my footage wasn’t “artsy” enough, so seeing the behind the scenes of one of your aesthetic videos is kind of nice to see that we all struggle with the right focus and camera angles and such
I appreciate your honesty so much!✨As well as the amount of work you put into every shot 🌸I normally get up at 6.30 am as I love the silence of the city in the morning - it allows me get that peaceful morning I miss so dearly from before I moved to Copenhagen to study and this video just hit the cosiness spot for me ☀🪴🧡
Thank you so much, Maya friend! There really is something so magical about those early mornings. No matter where we are or what life is like at the moment, the sunrise is always comforting 🧡
@@MorganLong Sunrises are such beautiful reminders of new beginnings! ☀
I wish I could explain how much joy and hope you give me!😭 thank you for existing
Thank YOU for existing
I'm a Thai person who loves watching your clips very much.❤❤
I am so behind on videos and trying to catch up this week. I just wanted to pop in and say that I love all of your videos and the hard work that you put into them really shows! They are so comforting and pleasing to the eye and the soul. It's so fun to feel like a part of your life every time you post a video. I also wanted to say this video was so much fun! I giggled so many times, especially when Roo did exactly what you said he would. Cracked me up! Thank you, Morgan, for all that you do!
Thank you for being so real with your viewers! 🤍🌺✨ As someone who makes videos for fun, it was awesome to see that I’m not the only one doing weird inventive things to get the right angle and lighting 🤣 and all those retakes because of curious pets, so hilariously relatable! 😂
Your videos are so helpful when it’s hard for me to relax to help calm my anxiety. I love your personality and hope to one day find a friend like you. Cheers to you!
I really appreciate this format! We can enjoy a romantic sequence of a morning and then see the reality of other types of mornings and I just love it. I also tend to compare myself a lot when it comes to social media and it's a creativity killer. That's why I enjoyed so so much your video, thank you for sharing both sides it is oh so appreciated 💜
Love that you added the realistic behind the scenes. The parts with your sweet doggy were my favorite :D Love to see those interactions between animals and their humans. Have a lovely weekend.
This is such a good video! Thank you for being so transparent. It was really nice to watch. Also, your dog getting up after you got comfy was very relatable! I have cats, and if they’re in the seat I want, as soon as I get comfy in another seat, they get up.
Thank you so much for appreciating my video! Hahaha I LOVE that animals do that. I think RoO finds it very entertaining to watch me move from place to place at his will 😂
2:03-2:13 is something I always wanted to do. Love this video! Your dog is adorable too. 🥰
We once hiked on a mountain for sunrise. It was really beautiful. Experiencing sunrise is a wonderful thing.
Loved your transparency! Loved hilarious Mr Roo! Thanks for the video! I can definitely see the work you do to make your videos seem so flawless!!! What book are you currently enjoying on the video?!?
Stumbling across your channel was a complete serendipity. I am so happy I found you! Every one of your videos is a complete piece of art. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I'm so happy you've found your way here! Welcome, friend ❤️
You are adorable. This video was really fun and entertaining! I always think when I see videos shot in a store or trail that the person has to prop their camera up on shelves or on the ground and walk away from it to get the shot!
Yes, that's exactly what happens! Whenever I'm filming myself in a store, my camera is hidden among things on a shelf and I'm holding my breath, on high alert, hoping no one walks by!
It’s always refreshing to watch another creator at work and to know we all have the same struggles (down to the dog getting in your shots 👏🏼) & the work that goes into every shot can be exhausting (but worth it for the end result). I found extra comfort in this 😂 So appreciate your realness, Morgan!
It made me laugh when Roo got up like you said he would! 😂 Your videos always bring me joy. I never feel bad after watching them. Thank you for your honesty.❤
Hello Morgan from Northern California! Oh, it is 9pm on Friday and I am just getting to see this, after a crazy full day of being out of the house....But rather it is first thing in the morning or last few minutes of night....I am delight to see a video from you. What a joy and a way to end the day...Thank you, for another peaceful day...I live in between a city and college town, that is currently crazy town of confusion and "oh my goddess, what is happening in the town I live in...but it will be fine and I will be fine and I, too am just a lower class, middle class person, who struggles has moments of plentiful, moments of "oh no, what am I going to do?? and moments of it is just going to be okay, I got this, and give the cat a hug aka Oreo...who longingly looks at me with love, bewilderment and warmth...so I am grateful, okay with not having fancy crap...because I love the hand-me downs of stuff, that have histories and stories of places, I have never been to, may never go too and so on. So no fancies and before I go overboard and overwhelmed and As always, I wish you lots of happiness, joy, great filled moments of pleasure....and abundances. Love the video of what life is like just filming, which I image and can see is not perfect. Oh, well that life and it does go on and on..........much love, teas of many kinds, books and warm summer days.
This video is pure art. So beautiful and creative. Hope all is well with your sweet pup. Mine insists on being the first and most important part of my morning!
Ah there he is!!!
This video is worth GOLD and beyond!! Thank you for being so honest and even showing the behind the scenes of your wonderful art!
Thank you so so much, friend,!
What a great way to show us the behind the scenes and all the work that needs to be done , much appreciated! Enjoyed it from begin till end and had to laugh with Mr Roo 's contribution 😅Thank you to bring a smile on my face 🙏🍀
Morgan thank you from the bottom of my heart ❣ as at the moment I am really really struggling with my thoughts and mental health issues so watching your videos and amazing channel seems to bring a smile to my face and I am using your reading videos for my reading 📖 so thank you again love your family friend John from Australia xxxx
The outside segment was very funny and enjoyable 🥰 your dog is adorable!!
I love the behind the scenes! Can you show us how you go about filming in public? Like the shots of you and a friend at a cafe? I alway wonder if you have a tripod set up. Same with the book store shots. Thanks for this. As always, your videos are delightful!!
Yes! Most of the time it's me hiding my camera on a shelf, holding my breath on high-alert, acting normal while hoping no one walks by and sees the camera 😅
Morgan your channel is so special to me! I’ve often felt ‘boring’ when I’m so happy just being and reading and walking in nature but it’s not boring - it’s extraordinary! I feel so calm and happy watching your videos and you’re truly the only creator that I really feel connected to - thank you for all you do! ✨
This is so beautiful! Thank you so very much friend ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely loved this video. Your dog is hilarious! Thank you so much for being willing to share the raw, unedited side of youtube video filming. :)
Your videos are so stunning and inspiring. They help me find the beauty in my days and in my surroundings.
I wanted to tell that you never made me feel bad because your videos look good! Social media IS unrealistic. It's fine because we're not necessary looking for realistic. The world is realistic enoug. You love the beautiful, the whimsical, the quiet. Thank you for that. Thank for showing me something that makes me forget the ugliness of the world that sometimes creeps up. Continue like this please, because your creations are helping me escape from my day. I whish you the best! (PS: as I couldn't get enough, I also got into your Patreon. This goes to show.
This means so much to me, Anne-lise friend! Your words are healing for me 💛 And thank you so much for supporting me on Patreon
I just found your channel Morgan and I can’t stop watching all of your videos! You are such a delight to watch! I have thoroughly enjoyed every video that I’ve watched so far! And you are vegan on top of everything else!?!? You are a kindred spirit to be sure!🥰
This was great, Morgan! I love seeing the behind the scenes footage and having you talk about the process. I'm so glad you are discussing the topic of social media and viewer's not comparing themselves to what they are watching. I agree with you that it can be extremely destructive and I applaud your addressing this issue. I also laughed along with you during parts of your video. Thank you so much!!!
This was just so comforting and real!!!!!!!! Such a great approach to your filmmaking ❤️ un abrazo!!!
I love that you did a video on how you film. I feel people often don't realise all the work behind a video or any creative work for that matter. Roo is just hilarious. :D Also, this video was also very magical, as always. :)
This was... Amazing to look at. Very entertaining and fun but also very eye-opening. Such an important topic & I'm so grateful you made this video.
This video is so important! Thank you Morgan for sharing the reality behind the glamorous video. I really love kindness.
Giggling at your dog 😊
I loved this Morgan! Genuinely so interesting to see what goes on behind the camera. I can see how much love and care goes into making every second ✨💛
Thank you so so much, Lily friend ✨💛 I'm reading all my comments but can't respond to them all-- just so you know, there are specific people I try to always respond to and YOU are one of them. I appreciate you ✨💛
@@MorganLong thank you so much! 💛💛💛
Hey Morgan, it's been so long I haven't commented. Your channel is such a wholesome place to be. This video was a pure delight to watch. You are so courageous and honest at the same time to show the real side of filming. It's real life. Sending hugs far and wide🌼🌻
Amazing video Morgan! Loved seeing the behind the scenes, it makes me appreciate your videos even more!
New ideas, Love Nature, We love to back to basic.Class Mates, Lonely .Any how great connections work.Thanks sharing.
My fav one you've filmed yet. Beautiful and informative
Me gusta mucho todo lo que haces. Valoro mucho tanto trabajo que hay detrás de tus vídeos. Aprecio mucho la energía positiva que le pones y todas tus ganas. Eres una persona maravillosa, eres una buena persona y solo se te puede desear lo mejor en tu vida todos los días. Me alegro haberte encontrado en TH-cam y tienes una amiga en España. Gracias por tu vídeo de hoy. Buena semana 🤗🌅🍦🍦🍦
Watching this Sat morning on a perfect sunny day and this just makes the vibes!
Me and Jess have been talking a lot this week and that's thanks to you Mo!!
I knew before how hard you must work but it was so good and refreshing to see a behind the scenes !! Rest up this weekend Mo, sending love xx
Cheers, Ellie friend! So happy to hear that you and Jess have become friends : ) I hope you've had a great weekend so far-- love and hugs xx
hello from morocco !! i just wanna say thank you for your hard-working Morgan , your videos are always a beautiful thing to watch and relax 😍😍😍😍
loooooooove this video. every bit. so relatable but also inspirational. I don’t see that often. Thanks for the honesty. Made me feel less anxious today :)
Well this video made me smile from ear to ear. Loved it. I enjoyed watching all those lovely early morning moments with you. The bird song, pine needle tea that is so good, your lovely outfit, and sitting on a blanket in the park watching the sunrise. Your reading and writing in your journal and having breakfast of an apple and toast. It really did give off romantic dare I say it Austen vibes. :) Then it was fun to see all the behind the scenes of making your morning video and of course Roo had to be in the shot even if not planned. He is quite adorable and he knows it. I loved your wise and wonderful counsel too. It is important to stress that you do not have to be extraordinary to live an extraordinary life. You have a great weekend Morgan.
This was awesome to watch! Thank you for working so hard on everything! You're amazing and so kind and the world needs more people like you 💖
I love how this video was really just Roo being the best little Production Assistant (Assistant Director?) of all time.
Thank you for being you, Morgan!
Hahaha RoO knows he's the true star of this channel ;)
I absolutely loved this video! I appreciate you sharing the realistic side to your beautiful and artistic videos. 💜
Mo, you work so hard to make the perfect videos for us! Thank you for this, friend! 🤗
This is amazing. Thank you for your wonderful videos, they always bring me joy and give me a piece of magic that you can feel.
Have a new found appreciation for your channel and all my favorites.
I love your channel so much and loved the message behind this video! Your videos bring such a relaxing comfort feeling every time I watch or rewatch them. ❤
Thank you, friend ❤❤
This video was such a breath of fresh air! I’m definitely someone who has a terrible habit of comparing my life to others, especially on social media but it has definitely gotten worse once I hit my thirties. Seeing people I know getting married and/or having kids and I’m sitting in my little home still exceptionally single. So I just wanted to say thank you for this video, for reminding me that the mundane everyday aspects of life are still beautiful. After watching, I deleted my Instagram account and gave the little home I built for myself a great big ordinary hug🤗 ❤️
I love this so much, Victoria friend! Thank you for sharing ❤ I know our situations are different as I have Landon, but I am familiar with the some of the pressures you're feeling. Everyone's raising their eyebrows at Landon and me wondering why the heck aren't you married? While all my friends left and right are getting married and now many of them are becoming pregnant. I'm happy for the all but it's not what I want for my life at the moment. There's no right or wrong way to be. You are more than enough, your matter, live however your want to ❤
@@MorganLong thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely reply, my friend! I completely agree with you and ditto🤗❤️
I just want to thank you for all you do. I love your videos and look forward to every single one. They have actually changed my perspective of life. You are such a genuine good person and I am so happy I found you. Take care and take time out for you.
Oh wow this is the first video I have ever watched of yours and I feel as if I have discovered something magical! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to produce these videos - you are so incredibly talented ❤️
This was so interesting! Thanks for the peek behind the scenes.
Watching this the second time and i learn so much from this. thanks for showing us the behind the scenes! so relatable with all the camera angle struggles lol. And Roo is cute as always! Best camera assistant :)
Thank you so much for sharing this less glamorous side of TH-cam videos! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar and it’s so incredibly refreshing. I love everything you create, of course, but this is important ❤️
i always love your videos, they are so well put together!! and seeing this little behind the scenes is fantastic. 😁
thank you for sharing this video with all the behind the scenes, Morgan. this message is so important and we all need to remember that what we see on social media rarely is what real life actually looks like. you and the content you create never fail to inspire me and put me in a good mood☀️ thank you so much for everything🙏🌻
This is so refreshing! Thank you 💛
