I said this before and I'll say it again, I hope this channel grows to a million subs and more you really deserve it the work you put into it shows and you seem like a great person. Keep on pushing through
I don’t know why but I teared up when you were talking about being optimistic and moving forward. Things are so scary right now and I needed to hear this 💕 Thank you for your videos and all that you do ✨ Your videos are like a hug to my heart 🥰
I was a freelancer in the creative industries for many years, I went through this kind if thing a few times (in non-corona life). There are ALWAYS times like this when the work dries up. Try not to guilt yourself for the days when you feel over-whelmed and can’t do much. You cannot force creativity. You will figure it out. And you will learn how much you can rely on yourself in the process - and that is incredibly valuable ☺️
I watched this a year later, and oh gosh it is so nice to see how you have flourished, while also recognizing that we are still doing a brave face "it's gonna be okay" some days too. This reminded me of how much my own growth has changed. Thank you.
I first want to say I love your videos. They are so calming and I always look forward to them. I really feel for what you are going through. Something that has helped me through all this is just taking things as they come, day by day. I also felt like I was wasting time but once I realized that it was OKAY to rest and that maybe I needed this time to rest/waste time/thing about my life I started to feel less stressed about it. By allowing myself to just feel the things I needed to feel (the sadness over the loss of my normal routine/life and the anxiety of what was going to happen after all this), it had helped me process things. The world feel out of our control right now but just try to focus on what you can do right now. We are all going to get through this one way or another. Good luck chica.
Thank you so very much, Jennifer-- Your wise words are a comfort to me and I'm really going to try to take them to heart. Day by day! Buena suerte mi amiga ✨
I watched this when it was uploaded and now I'm coming back to it feeling all the feels at 20:31Min because I and it seems a lot of others see ourselves reflected in your face at that moment. I teared up the first time I watched this because: empathy. Sending lots of love to you and to eveybody who reads this. We're not alone in this!
Hang in there Morgan. We will get through this together. I look forward to your videos every week. They keep me calm and relaxed when I’m winding down from a stressful day. Take care of yourself. 💞
You truly inspire me to push through all the rough situations I'm facing at the moment. You have no idea how much I appreciate the time you put into your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you once again for bringing joy to many, even though you may not be feeling full joy yourself. You are reminding yourself and us every time you vlog that joy is found in the simplest of things (the oj looked delicious!) It seems strange to say this because you don't know me, but you have been in my thoughts since watching the vlog and I wish only the very best for you and that work will pick up again very soon. You have such talent, creativity and passion for what you do, people will see that and want you on their team. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Enjoy playing with Mr Roo and losing yourself on a good book. Cheers to you, with my peppermint tea. ☀️
Ahhh, such a lovely comment! Thank you so much for your comforting words, Jen. Your positivity is contagious and it feels so good to know that you're hoping for the best for me. I hope the same for you by the way! Thank you for appreciating the simple things with me and here's to many more cups of peppermint tea! I raise my mug to you, friend ☕️
Sometime during living/working/being remotely, I tortured myself by looking at videos of Mount Hood---Portland and Oregon are my favorite places to visit. Your Mt. Hood video popped up and introduced me to you. Then the Yachats video. Torture! :) In the best way. I immediately subscribed and have almost seen your full archive, save for a few early ones. Judging by the views and comments, people really need and appreciate the messages and the character you're sending out into the world. It's been lovely to enjoy it. But this video pushed me to comment when I hadn't before, because I think the best of us have struggled---obviously, some more than others---so I just wanted to say thank you for all the people who are watching your videos and gaining so much positivity and insight. But also, to help all of your audience feel less alone at those times when it seems like we're not doing "this" (meaning, current life and changes to it) very well. I'm writing all of this in too formal a way i think. More simply---this is the video I know I needed today. Thank you.
Stay Strong! Everyone is experiencing tough times now one way or another. We cannot focus too much on what is outside of our control. Enjoy small things in our life to distract our mind and treat this as a character building event. We all love your video, it’s so comfortable to watch and full of good vibes. I love your voice too, so calming and happy. Hang in there! We all love you and will be with you!
What I love most about your videos is their calmness, the way to talk to us all so eloquently and well spoken. I also can’t not admire the wonderfully creative and productive way you live your life. It’s infectious. Thank you for making us all smile. You are a wonderful light in this dark storm and we will all come out more aware and appreciative of what we have.
Thank you so so much! I do hope that we all come out of this more aware and appreciative. I will certainly continue to do my part and spread positivity ✨
as someone that is also goal oriented I also feel like time is very different. On one hand I've worked out more, read more books this month then probably any month in the pasta few years but on the other hand I feel like I have done very little. It's strange when jobs are up in the air and everything is a question mark, especially when you are someone that wants to be working towards goals
EXACTLY. I couldn't have put it better myself. The key during this time is figuring out how to be okay with small, self-care focused goals. And maybe also how to take baby steps towards those other big goals within the constraints we're all currently under.
I just want to state that your videos are always heartwarming and cozy!!!!!! You look very serene whilst filming this and I think you can get through this with a beautiful smile!! You can do it my strong companion💛
it IS going to be ok!! and you are sooooo not alone with feeling like time is slipping away. i always get so much inspiration to make the most out of my days from your videos, and you don't have to be productive to have a beautiful & wonderful life. it's that way no matter what you get done.
I have been enjoying your videos and was saddened about your news. I will be thinking of you. I know that everything will work out. Sending positive vibes. Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you for your videos! I’ve been watching your content for months and rewatched all your videos during this time. It’s so true, this time can be discouraging but you bring light to a dark world. Please continue this, know that you’re making an impact. 💓
You are not alone. We are all going through this so stay optimistic and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re doing great. You work hard, and everything will fall into place eventually for you. Sending you lots of positivity! :) Thank you for always sharing your life and comforts with us. It’s always a joy!
I adore your videos Morgan, I have no doubt that you will find work with your awesome portfolio of work. I lost my job because of the situation but I kept going, doing everything I could and now I start my new job on Monday! Sending positive vibes to your lovely home 🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Rosie! I'm genuinely so glad for you-- I hope this Monday is a happy and exciting one 🤗 I'll feel very relieved once I'm in the same boat!
Well it’s been two months since you posted this and I just watched it but I just wanted to say that your talk almost at the end was so relatable and really comforted me actually haha. I fortunately haven’t had a very hard time during this pandemic but since I finished school I’ve been feeling very low and empty, like I want to do a lot of stuff just like you and I don’t even know how I waste all the day. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you so much for those thoughts, I hadn’t realized how much I needed them. And also, I wanted to tell you that while you were saying all that stuff I just wanted to hug you haha, I hope everything is better now
I thought I was the only one who felt this way of losing a job, I don't have an income right now and I am frustrated by it but then I watched Morgan and then I feel so encouraged that everything will be fine. Thank you, Morgan, for your videos it nourishes my soul completely.
Can’t even begin to explain how much I needed this video right now. I’ve been feeling the exact same way.. essentially losing my job and then feeling lost / discouraged while finding a new one is a battle I’ve never had to fight before. It’s all new and we’re all in this together ❤️
It's such a terrible feeling. There is a way out though! And along the way we have to learn how to not expect so much out of ourselves and love ourselves through the highs and lows. We are not alone, friend ❤️
19:00 is the most relatable thing I have heard, I know how discouraging it feels to have several un-productive days but as long as you're giving yourself the time, you'll hopefully get back on track. I have been finding it so hard not to have contact with my family and friends (other than face time), and having a lot of work to do doesn't help, but I am sure that we're all trying our best to make it through these hard times.
It feels so good to know I'm not alone in all of this-- thank you, friend! I hope these times get less lonely and discouraging. In the meantime, here's to appreciating the simple pleasure in life such as cups of tea, familiar pages of a favorite book, comforting soundtracks to our favorite movies, etc. Hugs to you! ☕️📚✨
Dear Morgan, thank you again for this little gem. Yes, it is crazy how our notion of time changes in these times; I'm experiencing the same thing and it baffles me. I also feel like my attention span is reduced and hectic, so instead of dealing discourage by a big task, I now divide them into tiny ones. It is indeed a crazy time and we cope with it in manners we can't have foreseen or even understand. So don't be too hard on yourself if some days you feel like you aren't as productive as you wish. Talking to your loved one is being productive, in a way, as you are connecting with people and it is important too! :) N'oublie pas de voir le beau *Virtual Hug* Upwards and onwards! (and please continue these beauties of videos, this is always so perfect!)
Even when things are very hard, there are always so many more things to be grateful for! Don’t forget to always be thankful, I enjoy your positivity so much! You are awesome❤️❤️
Little late to the party but you are so strong and your videos are absolutely amazing! During this time, your videos have brought me joy and comfort!! Stay strong
Yes some days all mesh together of doing absolutely doing nothing. It’s even harder keeping things constantly entertaining for my children, let alone getting things done around the house. I’m planning on painting our bedrooms to brighten our days 🌞
My heart goes out to you and your children! I can't imagine how difficult it must be to keep moral high for everyone in the house. Keep on keeping on-- I hope the bedrooms turn out well, I love this idea! 💛🌱
Watching this a few month later and still totally relate to what you are saying! My concentration and productivity are nowhere to be found, or at least feels like that... But summer break now, so I can take my time and figure out what things help me get my motivation back in this weird time! Love your videos, they make me feel very relaxed and excited to read :)
assistindo esse vídeo percebi que estava sorrindo durante o tempo todo. apesar dos pesares, estamos aqui, esperando dias melhores. seus vídeos são ótimos e espero que as coisas se organizem e aqui vire um sustento para você. você merece esse reconhecimento :)
I can relate sooo much to feeling unproductive! I also try to not be hard on myself but I think it’s been dificult to be productive yet time goes by so fast! Thanks for sharing your feelings it made me feel much better knowing that this is normal and I’m not the only one feeling like this. I can’t thank you enough. You always brighten my day, motivate me and make me so happy. We’ll get through this. ❤️
Thank you for sharing with us some of your struggles, it's inspiring and it helps me a lot in finding motivation! Your videos are always a bright moment in my day 💛🌻 also, I looove that "See the Good" mug!!! Looking forward to see where these changes take you and all the new things you'll come up with 🤗
Sweet Morgan! I am sending a giant hug your way. I can’t imagine all of the emotions you must be feeling - but just as you said, know you are not alone. You always have a sense of calm, peace, and positivity and I admire it so much. It will absolutely all be okay 💓 Thanks for this lovely vlog!
Meredith!! Do you know how very few people I actually personally know watch my videos?? I can count them on one hand! Thank you so so sooo very much 💕 Your giant hug feels wonderful and your words are so encouraging 🤗 The other day I was remembering the time in high school when I had run out of lunch food and you so kindly packed a lunch for me-- you have always been such a good friend and an overall kind sunbeam of a person ✨ Thank you, friend!
I can very much relate to the not getting everything you planned done. Time has become meaningless. I have been trying to do small things and to not push myself too much. Self care is a must right now. I have no doubt that you will find more work. You videos are amazing! Focusing on one day at a time has been helping me. Hope you are doing well!
Thank you so much Amanda! These days have been so confusing. My brain just feels stuck. Have you seen the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? There's this one scene in one of the later movies where Jack Sparrow is in this white rocky landscape and everything's dry and abstract-- that's what my brain feels like when I realize 4 hours have gone by and I've done nothing remotely productive. It's all temporary though! You're so right-- one day at a time, small things, and self care
I first saw your 'Read with me'-video and I really loved it! I immediately bingewatched your videos. Thank you times a million. Your videos just bring joy and peace. Those two are very much needed now. Keep up the good work! Love from the Netherlands😊
Girl I wanna give you a virtual hug! I’ve been feeling the EXACT SAME WAY! I’m trying my hand at teaching Kindergarten from home.. and feel like I’m failing. Sleep is wonky, house is a mess, can’t focus to read for very long, just all over the place... you aren’t alone. A lot of us are struggling with this. But give yourself some grace. This is a worldwide pandemic! Nothing like any of us have seen before. It’s ok to lose days to whatever you are losing days to. But keep making your lists. Even short ones. Put one thing down like: make your bed, just so you can feel like you accomplished something! That’s how we’re making it through ❤️ Fist to the air girl! Keep that positivity up!
Oh goodness, Chandra, I can't imagine teaching Kindergarten from home!! More power to you and sooo much respect! I hope things are coming together as the school year comes to a close. Always just do the best you can and let the rest go ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words-- I feel empowered! *Fist bump*
I've been home for 7 weeks now and the first couple weeks, I was super productive, but it has definitely declined as the weeks progressed. You are definitely not alone. I've watched all your videos and would love to see your channel grow. They're all little works of art. 🎨
Thank you so very much, Arianne! The waves of emotion are so real. After sharing this video I've been feeling a lot more content and productive-- hopefully it lasts more than the usual 3 days. I hope today is a good day for you ☀️ Thank you for being a long for the ride as my channel grows :)
That scene with the lid was such a me thing to do lol. I laughed at the Matilda reference, that was my favorite movie growing up so I immediately remembered the scene. I'm sorry to hear about your job, will definitely be praying and sending good vibes your way. I always say just remember that everything is temporary, and one day all the worries of today will seem so silly.
Hahaha, the lid!! I felt so deceived 😂 Oooh Matilda 😊 Someone recently told me that I reminded them of Ms. Honey and it was, perhaps, one of my most favorite compliments of all time! Thank you so very much for your prayers. Someday (hopefully soon) I will look back and say "ah, now I understand why that happened." I hope all is well with you, Stephanie 💛
Love what you said in this video: everything is so uncertain. I'm also goal oriented and I feel guilty when I don't tick off everything on my to-do list that day 😔 Just wanted to say you DEFINITELY aren't alone, and you (my friend) are amazing 💕 I started my TH-cam channel recently after being inspired by the calmness of your videos which I found during isolation 🙂 Also, I know many people aren't into patron but I would love to support you in this time as your videos are so lovely and calm my anxiety 🌱
Aaah, thank you so very much for this, Emsy 😌 I love your videos and really hope you continue to create-- you are so talented! Also, thank you for your encouragement to create a Patreon! I've wanted to start one but I have no idea what to offer viewers beyond my TH-cam videos. I've thought about doing monthly phone background illustrations with quotes from the books I'm reading?... Also maybe videography lessons? Is there anything you'd appreciate seeing on my hypothetical patreon? Here's to taking it one day at a time and appreciating magic in the simple things 🌱✨📚
I know it’s been really frustrating not getting to all or none of your to do’s, I also was feeling that way too. So what I decided to do was to only put a few things down for the day. Some days it works other time not so much. Don’t beat your self up. These times are weird for us all. But stay positive and we are going to make it through because we are amazing.😄 also, I really appreciate your channel as it has help me to stay positive and to enjoy the simple things.
Thank you so very much Nicole :) You're right! a few to-do's a day is a worthy accomplishment! Just as we're forced to readjust to the times, we must also readjust our expectations of ourselves. I'm happy you found my channel and I raise my tea mug to you! ☕️
I hope your job finding goes alright, Morgan! 🌻💙 And yes, the time has been flying when I'm home, it's ridiculous 😨 it will be alright, we all have to remember not to be too hard on ourselves even though it's difficult, we are all going through this together and we will be ok💙✌
Thank you sooo much for your comforting words, Hannah 🌻💙 It feels good to now we're not alone in this. Everything will work out for us, there's simply no other way ✨
Oh Mo, I am so sorry about your job. Hearing you talk out your feelings and being so optimistic is so heartwarming; good things ARE coming your way. You are a ray of sunshine. Again, another fantastic video. 💛 I must know what song was playing for the “Sunday morning” clip; if you don’t mind sharing. 😊
Hi, Stef!! thank you so much for your positivity 💛 Your comments are always a big hug for me 🤗 The song is: "Life Could Be So Simple" by Anthony Lazaro ☕️
I can appreciate and resonate with everything you are saying! I honestly believe the hardest, and simultaneously the best, thing this difficult time has showed us is the importance of slowing down. I have slacked off as well lately, but I feel that after working so hard for so long it is good for people to take some down time! As hard as it is, and as "unproductive" as we may feel, it is OKAY to take a day every now and then to drink a cup of tea and reflect. Take time to pick up a new hobby, finish that book, try new recipes. Again, I can understand and appreciate what you are saying about feeling so unproductive. However, try not to be too hard on yourself. When is the last time we all took a day and literally did nothing? It is good for the soul to rest and recharge
I'm finding the days in quarantine go so quick with hardly anything done too, it's so frustrating! I do find just taking tasks one thing at a time makes it easier but I still struggle. Good luck! ❤
Right?? Just as we're forced to readjust to the times, we have to also readjust our expectations of ourselves. It's a process but we're well on our way! Big hugs 🤗
That’s horrible that you lost your job. My boyfriend’s parents own a small restaurant and their struggling as well. Just hang in there. I know things seem bad right now but they will get better! It’s awesome of you to share these personal experiences with us.
I hope things get better. Will they ever go back to the old normal. Don’t think so. I’m in NJ and cases are going back up. We still aren’t as high as other stated but still bad. I love watching you videos I’m trying to go back and catch up on ones I haven’t seen. They are so relaxing.
I love your videos, thank you for the effort of making from this simple things the nicest moments of the day. The math while you have two oranges. 🤣🤣🤣❤️
i am so sorry to hear about your job.. however, you are such a lovely soul in seeing the positives and being hopeful in this time. you are def not alone in your feelings, this has been such a chaotic time and it’s affecting us in so many strange and different ways, and it is very hard to cope, especially on top of what you’re going through right now. i’m wishing everything works out for you in the end! ps i love your vegan vibes shirt:)
Loved the Matilda reference 🥰but on a more serious note, I can't say more of how amazing all your affirmations are and I LOVE all your positive messages and metaphors that you put out there of how slowly but surely we will get through this x sending all the lovee xx IT WILL WORK OUT ♥️
New subscriber here! 👋🏻 First of all we have the same last name. Yay! 😂 Also the shots in this vlog were STUNNING. So happy I found your channel! I’m a photographer as well! Definitely feeling the hardships os working freelance at this time. ♥️
Hi, Liv!! We even look alike- maybe we're distantly related 😊 I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed your Self-Care weekend 📚 I hope you've had some more photoshoots or freelance work of sorts since then. I'm still trying to get it all figured out. Hugs, ♥️
I can totally relate to your financial problems right now. I have a source of income that will cease at the end of the year and I was actively trying to find employment before the pandemic hit. Now there are no jobs available and I'm just praying it'll all be over soon so I can start job hunting again. My stress and anxiety is going through the roof but I'm positive it'll all be ok. Thanks for sharing your story and I've noticed your subscriber number is increasing a lot, so who knows, maybe next year it can earn you a decent income :) Wishing you all the very best xx
It feels so good to know we're not alone in this. It HAS to work out and I really hope the way becomes clear for us soon. Yes, my channel is growing quickly and it makes me SO happy!! This is what I truly love to do and it will be a dream come true when I can simply continue to make videos and build this community and not have to worry about finances. Everything will be okay, things will work out for us
Hi Morgan ! I haven't been able to comment lately but I have been watching. As always your vlogs remind me that I can get through the days and everything will be ok. I am so sorry to hear about your job situation I am sure a blessing is around the corner. I haven't been doing the best with everything going on but I am trying to hold on. Thank you for another calming video. I hope you, Landon and Roo are doing well
Hello, new subscriber here! This is the second video of yours that I have watched and oh... I can relate so very much! Story of my life over quarantine has been thinking about and attempting to get so much done (especially the house cleaning!) and somehow the day slips by and I accomplish nothing.. 🤔 I can also relate to being laid off and facing uncertainty but I also keep telling myself it will be okay. 😉 Haha, I also live in Portland 🌲and here we are in July and I still need to rotate my spring/summer wardrobe! I think because I'm in comfy pjs or yoga attire being home so much! You have inspired me to get to work on my closet and house cleaning! I love the bright, joyful vibe of your video mixed with honesty about how you're feeling. 💗 Also, your home is gorgeous!
PHO!! i had the best tofu pho last night from my fav local place! a treat!! i felt what you said about being guilty and time being weird. online uni started this week ( a mESS), i got laid off work as well, my grandma got hospitalized (she's stable) and i feel like i am getting nothing done. the best thing we can do is being compassionate and gentle with ourselves like we would be with our loved ones. we will get through this mo! :) x
Oh man, so many things!! I'm amazed by your positivity through it all-- so inspiring, Leonie! I'm really glad your grandma is stable and hopefully well on her way back to healthy. Is online uni a continuation of the semester or is it a new semester at a new (masters?) school? Compassion (an lots of Pho 😋) is absolutely the way to get through this
Two videos later... I'm back! O/ I watched both of your previous videos, but I couldn't comment. My laptop broke and it was the first time during this entire quarentine that I felt bad. I was just like Ross screaming "Why bad things happen to good people?" HAHAHHAHAHAH I teach online, but just like you I had some of my classes reduced, so at the time I though "It's ok, I can spend less, and I always have some money save" and then... I had to buy a new computer. I felt super down, and I was not productive, just as you said it , I always have goals, I'm also super organized, so it was that unpredictable moment that hit me. I'm not gonna say that I'm happy that your house was a mess, but now I feel that it's okay that mine is a bit messy too because I'm not alone HAHAHA I hope you could find the motivation to keep doing what you wanted to do. Now, that you are going to work less hours, are you going to upload more videos on YT? And please, update us on your drawing journey. I wish we could attach files here, but last week I finished my first drawing for my classes online. I had a lot of fun doing it, I can see some things that I could improve, but it was just the first one, so I'll have time to get better at drawing.
I'm so sorry to hear about your laptop fiasco!! The same thing happened to me last year and it was such a struggle to get a new laptop but once I had one, I felt super fancy and brand new. I'm glad you're keeping up with your drawing class!! It's so exciting to learn new things! I haven't had much time to draw or read. Making TH-cam videos takes up a lot of time (20+ hours a video!). I would love to make more of them when my job stops but I'll also need to dedicate that time to finding more work. If I had it my way, I'd be able to make 3 videos a week AND draw AND read and explore and get outside with friends-- that is my ideal life! There has to be a way to make it happen AND make money. It's okay to feel allll of the emotions, good and bad, but I'm glad you've been able to stay mostly positive! Thank you for being here, friend ✨
This is the problem with YT. You have to be quite big to make a lot of money, which means people will make videos that are not necessarily high quality but more attention seeking kind of. And as soon some gets really big you usually cannot expect answers on your comments anymore because they get just too many. :/ But I am happy you are optimistic. We need this during these times. Thank you for a wonderful vlog and I had a good laugh about your dog, sitting in that chair like a cat. :D
Hi, Julie! Yes, it is unfortunate that some people post low-quality content only seeking views. I love the community I have on TH-cam, thank you for being a part of it :) Hahaha, Roo is most serious about his wooden chair 🐾
MORGAN!!!!🤗😊❤️🥰Sending GIANT hugs to you!! First - I relate to the Matilda reference on a molecular level. 😂❤️. Next - a Pho cooking class!! 😭😩❤️❤️❤️Thank You!! Also, when RoO sat in your chair and you sat on his bed 😂I felt that. Charlie would literally have done the same thing 🤣 Landon did a SUpercalafragilisticexpeallydoshas job on the walkway 🥳👏☺️. Also, I’m so so sorry you got let go ☹️that. Stinks! 😭 I’m so sad for you❤️ I remember when I got terminated last year after the accident i cried so much. But I realized later to look forward to something even better! I can’t Wait for your website and product! I’m totally buying everything! And Geez the nerve of TH-cam, 10 cents? Excuse me?? Your videos are a billion times better than most of the crap on their system. Gee whiz. Jason is trying to start up a channel - mostly though for reasons like you for a community and such but dang - not what he was thinking when he heard you can make some dough. Most importantly, I am so so glad you guys are all feeling ok! P.S today was my one year anniversary since the car accident. This time last year I was in ICU and this day this year - watching a glorious Morgan video safe and sound at home! 🥳🤗thank you so much! What a special treat for today! 🤗❤️
CAROLINE!! I love your comment so much, I have the biggest smile on my face! ❤️ Thank you for the giant hug! And lol at the molecular level-- I totally relate! The Pho was inspired by you! Hahaha, RoO is so particular about his space and when he'd like to cuddle vs. when he just can't even be in the same room. Thank you for your empathy with my job situation 😢🤗 It will all get sorted out! I'm so glad I can count on you to support my product design endeavors ☺️ Yeah, the reality of the TH-cam monetization was a bit surprising, but it grows as your channel grows-- there's still opportunity! I'm excited for Jason and his channel! WOW, happy anniversary!! Today is a celebration of how very VERY strong and full of light you are ✨☀️💛 I'm honored to have been a part of your day. Big hugs, sweet friend! 🤗❤️
I’m so proud of you for pushing through all the obstacles thrown in front of you! You can do it Morgan! I raise my tea mug to you, my strong friend
I raise my tea mug to you Niika!! Thank you for your confidence and the big smile you've given me
I said this before and I'll say it again, I hope this channel grows to a million subs and more you really deserve it the work you put into it shows and you seem like a great person. Keep on pushing through
I don’t know why but I teared up when you were talking about being optimistic and moving forward. Things are so scary right now and I needed to hear this 💕 Thank you for your videos and all that you do ✨ Your videos are like a hug to my heart 🥰
BIG hug to Blossomo Lytte! Thank you for appreciating my videos and sharing my optimism 🤗
@@MorganLong You're welcome

Ps. I live in London and I saw someone with a powell’s tote in Sainsbury’s the other day and got way too excited lol!!
You’re gonna be alright ~ such a gifted, kind-hearted person can OnlY be alright 🌿🌸
Thank you oh so very much, Victoria 🌿🌼
Watching yout videos is like getting a warm hug from a good friend. Thank you Morgan!
Thank you for all you do to bring calm to all of us viewers. You are my favorite channel. 📚🌻
I first want to say I love your videos. They are so calming and I always look forward to them. I really feel for what you are going through. Something that has helped me through all this is just taking things as they come, day by day. I also felt like I was wasting time but once I realized that it was OKAY to rest and that maybe I needed this time to rest/waste time/thing about my life I started to feel less stressed about it. By allowing myself to just feel the things I needed to feel (the sadness over the loss of my normal routine/life and the anxiety of what was going to happen after all this), it had helped me process things.

Thank you so very much, Jennifer-- Your wise words are a comfort to me and I'm really going to try to take them to heart. Day by day! Buena suerte mi amiga ✨
Love all your videos! The music in the 01:35 reminds me of what in Argentina we call "chamamé" ♡
I watched this when it was uploaded and now I'm coming back to it feeling all the feels at 20:31Min because I and it seems a lot of others see ourselves reflected in your face at that moment. I teared up the first time I watched this because: empathy. Sending lots of love to you and to eveybody who reads this. We're not alone in this!
Thank you so much, Sarah
Hang in there Morgan. We will get through this together. I look forward to your videos every week. They keep me calm and relaxed when I’m winding down from a stressful day. Take care of yourself. 💞
Thank you so much Delaney-- I'm glad to have you a part of this supportive friend group this channel has made :)
your videos bring me so much joy and they make me feel so safe!
You truly inspire me to push through all the rough situations I'm facing at the moment. You have no idea how much I appreciate the time you put into your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you once again for bringing joy to many, even though you may not be feeling full joy yourself. You are reminding yourself and us every time you vlog that joy is found in the simplest of things (the oj looked delicious!) It seems strange to say this because you don't know me, but you have been in my thoughts since watching the vlog and I wish only the very best for you and that work will pick up again very soon. You have such talent, creativity and passion for what you do, people will see that and want you on their team. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Enjoy playing with Mr Roo and losing yourself on a good book. Cheers to you, with my peppermint tea. ☀️
Ahhh, such a lovely comment! Thank you so much for your comforting words, Jen. Your positivity is contagious and it feels so good to know that you're hoping for the best for me. I hope the same for you by the way! Thank you for appreciating the simple things with me and here's to many more cups of peppermint tea! I raise my mug to you, friend ☕️
You are not alone. You are amazing! Keep that chin up girl!
Thank you so very much! My chin is up am I'm smiling to the sky ☀️
Sometime during living/working/being remotely, I tortured myself by looking at videos of Mount Hood---Portland and Oregon are my favorite places to visit. Your Mt. Hood video popped up and introduced me to you. Then the Yachats video. Torture! :) In the best way. I immediately subscribed and have almost seen your full archive, save for a few early ones. Judging by the views and comments, people really need and appreciate the messages and the character you're sending out into the world. It's been lovely to enjoy it. But this video pushed me to comment when I hadn't before, because I think the best of us have struggled---obviously, some more than others---so I just wanted to say thank you for all the people who are watching your videos and gaining so much positivity and insight. But also, to help all of your audience feel less alone at those times when it seems like we're not doing "this" (meaning, current life and changes to it) very well. I'm writing all of this in too formal a way i think. More simply---this is the video I know I needed today. Thank you.
Stay Strong! Everyone is experiencing tough times now one way or another. We cannot focus too much on what is outside of our control. Enjoy small things in our life to distract our mind and treat this as a character building event. We all love your video, it’s so comfortable to watch and full of good vibes. I love your voice too, so calming and happy. Hang in there! We all love you and will be with you!
What I love most about your videos is their calmness, the way to talk to us all so eloquently and well spoken. I also can’t not admire the wonderfully creative and productive way you live your life. It’s infectious. Thank you for making us all smile. You are a wonderful light in this dark storm and we will all come out more aware and appreciative of what we have.
Thank you so so much! I do hope that we all come out of this more aware and appreciative. I will certainly continue to do my part and spread positivity ✨
as someone that is also goal oriented I also feel like time is very different. On one hand I've worked out more, read more books this month then probably any month in the pasta few years but on the other hand I feel like I have done very little. It's strange when jobs are up in the air and everything is a question mark, especially when you are someone that wants to be working towards goals
EXACTLY. I couldn't have put it better myself. The key during this time is figuring out how to be okay with small, self-care focused goals. And maybe also how to take baby steps towards those other big goals within the constraints we're all currently under.
I just want to state that your videos are always heartwarming and cozy!!!!!! You look very serene whilst filming this and I think you can get through this with a beautiful smile!! You can do it my strong companion💛
Thank you so very much, Fatima 💛
it IS going to be ok!! and you are sooooo not alone with feeling like time is slipping away. i always get so much inspiration to make the most out of my days from your videos, and you don't have to be productive to have a beautiful & wonderful life. it's that way no matter what you get done.
This is so beautifully said
I have been enjoying your videos and was saddened about your news. I will be thinking of you. I know that everything will work out. Sending positive vibes. Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you so much for your positive thoughts, Kate! BIG hugs 🤗
Thank you for your videos! I’ve been watching your content for months and rewatched all your videos during this time. It’s so true, this time can be discouraging but you bring light to a dark world. Please continue this, know that you’re making an impact. 💓
You have no idea how much your comment means to me. Thank you so much, Anna! I'm so glad you've found my channel 💕
You are not alone. We are all going through this so stay optimistic and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re doing great. You work hard, and everything will fall into place eventually for you. Sending you lots of positivity! :) Thank you for always sharing your life and comforts with us. It’s always a joy!
Thank you so much for your positivity, Saleena!! It's such a comfort to know we're not alone in this 🤗
I love all your videos but your honesty and just taking the world as it comes in this video was really a lovely, reaffirming thing to watch! Thank you
bless you - well look how far you've come! keep going please I love your videos on here xx
You are not alone! I'm in the same situation... hi from Brazil! Be strong... I LOVE your videos...
Thank you so much, friend 💕
I came here after watching the powell bookstore vlog and I like the music u use in ur videos and you are my role model
I'm so glad you're here Divya! Thank you 😊
I adore your videos Morgan, I have no doubt that you will find work with your awesome portfolio of work. I lost my job because of the situation but I kept going, doing everything I could and now I start my new job on Monday! Sending positive vibes to your lovely home 🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Rosie! I'm genuinely so glad for you-- I hope this Monday is a happy and exciting one 🤗 I'll feel very relieved once I'm in the same boat!
Well it’s been two months since you posted this and I just watched it but I just wanted to say that your talk almost at the end was so relatable and really comforted me actually haha. I fortunately haven’t had a very hard time during this pandemic but since I finished school I’ve been feeling very low and empty, like I want to do a lot of stuff just like you and I don’t even know how I waste all the day. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you so much for those thoughts, I hadn’t realized how much I needed them. And also, I wanted to tell you that while you were saying all that stuff I just wanted to hug you haha, I hope everything is better now
I love your videos! They’re so relaxing and well-made
Thank you so much, Serena!
I thought I was the only one who felt this way of losing a job, I don't have an income right now and I am frustrated by it but then I watched Morgan and then I feel so encouraged that everything will be fine. Thank you, Morgan, for your videos it nourishes my soul completely.
We have only just discovered your channel and we LOVE your vlogs. Thanks for the calming, cosy and positive vibes. From us in 🇬🇧 xx
Can’t even begin to explain how much I needed this video right now. I’ve been feeling the exact same way.. essentially losing my job and then feeling lost / discouraged while finding a new one is a battle I’ve never had to fight before. It’s all new and we’re all in this together ❤️
It's such a terrible feeling. There is a way out though! And along the way we have to learn how to not expect so much out of ourselves and love ourselves through the highs and lows. We are not alone, friend ❤️
Morgan Long I respect you so much ❤️ thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for this 🥰 you are so correct and it’s easy to forget.
19:00 is the most relatable thing I have heard, I know how discouraging it feels to have several un-productive days but as long as you're giving yourself the time, you'll hopefully get back on track. I have been finding it so hard not to have contact with my family and friends (other than face time), and having a lot of work to do doesn't help, but I am sure that we're all trying our best to make it through these hard times.
It feels so good to know I'm not alone in all of this-- thank you, friend! I hope these times get less lonely and discouraging. In the meantime, here's to appreciating the simple pleasure in life such as cups of tea, familiar pages of a favorite book, comforting soundtracks to our favorite movies, etc.
Hugs to you! ☕️📚✨
Dear Morgan, thank you again for this little gem. Yes, it is crazy how our notion of time changes in these times; I'm experiencing the same thing and it baffles me. I also feel like my attention span is reduced and hectic, so instead of dealing discourage by a big task, I now divide them into tiny ones. It is indeed a crazy time and we cope with it in manners we can't have foreseen or even understand. So don't be too hard on yourself if some days you feel like you aren't as productive as you wish. Talking to your loved one is being productive, in a way, as you are connecting with people and it is important too! :) N'oublie pas de voir le beau *Virtual Hug* Upwards and onwards! (and please continue these beauties of videos, this is always so perfect!)
Ah, French is such a beautiful language! This comment is so very comforting-- Merci Pascale
Even when things are very hard, there are always so many more things to be grateful for! Don’t forget to always be thankful, I enjoy your positivity so much! You are awesome❤️❤️
You are so right!! There are so many things to be grateful for ❤️ ❤️
Little late to the party but you are so strong and your videos are absolutely amazing! During this time, your videos have brought me joy and comfort!! Stay strong
Never too late!! Thank you so much, Lauren
Yes some days all mesh together of doing absolutely doing nothing. It’s even harder keeping things constantly entertaining for my children, let alone getting things done around the house. I’m planning on painting our bedrooms to brighten our days 🌞
My heart goes out to you and your children! I can't imagine how difficult it must be to keep moral high for everyone in the house. Keep on keeping on-- I hope the bedrooms turn out well, I love this idea! 💛🌱
Aww! You’re so strong and amazing!
Watching this a few month later and still totally relate to what you are saying! My concentration and productivity are nowhere to be found, or at least feels like that... But summer break now, so I can take my time and figure out what things help me get my motivation back in this weird time! Love your videos, they make me feel very relaxed and excited to read :)
So relatable girl!!! I need a back yard/ gardening video ASAP 💕 looks great
Thank you, Ashley 💕
What a great perspective. Your videos are lovely and I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you for this video. Seriously, thank you for the honesty and the many beautiful moments you shared. *Long hug*
Thank YOU for being here 💕
assistindo esse vídeo percebi que estava sorrindo durante o tempo todo. apesar dos pesares, estamos aqui, esperando dias melhores. seus vídeos são ótimos e espero que as coisas se organizem e aqui vire um sustento para você. você merece esse reconhecimento :)
Muito muito obrigada, amiga
I can relate sooo much to feeling unproductive! I also try to not be hard on myself but I think it’s been dificult to be productive yet time goes by so fast! Thanks for sharing your feelings it made me feel much better knowing that this is normal and I’m not the only one feeling like this. I can’t thank you enough. You always brighten my day, motivate me and make me so happy. We’ll get through this. ❤️
I love your positivity so much 💖
I love the philosophy you shared :) thanks for the reminder
Thank you so much, friend! Also, you have a wonderful username 🌼
Thank you for sharing with us some of your struggles, it's inspiring and it helps me a lot in finding motivation! Your videos are always a bright moment in my day 💛🌻 also, I looove that "See the Good" mug!!! Looking forward to see where these changes take you and all the new things you'll come up with 🤗
Thank you so much, Marta! I'm happy we're not so alone in this and I'm excited to see how things work out. I know it will be good! BIG hugs 💛🌻🤗
I just found your channel, and I am SO in love! This is exactly what I needed ✨
Sweet Morgan! I am sending a giant hug your way. I can’t imagine all of the emotions you must be feeling - but just as you said, know you are not alone. You always have a sense of calm, peace, and positivity and I admire it so much. It will absolutely all be okay 💓 Thanks for this lovely vlog!
Meredith!! Do you know how very few people I actually personally know watch my videos?? I can count them on one hand! Thank you so so sooo very much 💕
Your giant hug feels wonderful and your words are so encouraging 🤗 The other day I was remembering the time in high school when I had run out of lunch food and you so kindly packed a lunch for me-- you have always been such a good friend and an overall kind sunbeam of a person ✨
Thank you, friend!
I can very much relate to the not getting everything you planned done. Time has become meaningless. I have been trying to do small things and to not push myself too much. Self care is a must right now. I have no doubt that you will find more work. You videos are amazing! Focusing on one day at a time has been helping me. Hope you are doing well!
Thank you so much Amanda!
These days have been so confusing. My brain just feels stuck. Have you seen the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? There's this one scene in one of the later movies where Jack Sparrow is in this white rocky landscape and everything's dry and abstract-- that's what my brain feels like when I realize 4 hours have gone by and I've done nothing remotely productive.
It's all temporary though! You're so right-- one day at a time, small things, and self care
@@MorganLong Yes, I love those movies! Oh my gosh you're so right. That is a very good comparison.
It is eerie how much I can so relate to this video. Thank you for making it - you are so extremely talented and I love your channel =)
I loved this one so much! Best Vlog yet?! The light and speaking made it so enjoyable to view.
Thank you so much, Lan!! I think this might be my favorite Vlog yet! The other one that takes first place is our sandy beach reading day
I first saw your 'Read with me'-video and I really loved it! I immediately bingewatched your videos. Thank you times a million. Your videos just bring joy and peace. Those two are very much needed now. Keep up the good work! Love from the Netherlands😊
Thank you so very much, Annisa!! I'm glad you've found my channel and are contributing to the joy and peace 🤗
Girl I wanna give you a virtual hug! I’ve been feeling the EXACT SAME WAY! I’m trying my hand at teaching Kindergarten from home.. and feel like I’m failing. Sleep is wonky, house is a mess, can’t focus to read for very long, just all over the place... you aren’t alone. A lot of us are struggling with this. But give yourself some grace. This is a worldwide pandemic! Nothing like any of us have seen before. It’s ok to lose days to whatever you are losing days to. But keep making your lists. Even short ones. Put one thing down like: make your bed, just so you can feel like you accomplished something! That’s how we’re making it through ❤️
Fist to the air girl! Keep that positivity up!
Oh goodness, Chandra, I can't imagine teaching Kindergarten from home!! More power to you and sooo much respect! I hope things are coming together as the school year comes to a close. Always just do the best you can and let the rest go ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words-- I feel empowered! *Fist bump*
Everything will AWAYS be ok 👌. You’ve (we’ve) got this 😘. You continue to amaze me. So very proud of you 🤗🤗🤗
ALWAYS! Those are the most encouraging words for me 💕 We always get through it! I love and miss you 🤗🤗🤗😘
I've been home for 7 weeks now and the first couple weeks, I was super productive, but it has definitely declined as the weeks progressed. You are definitely not alone. I've watched all your videos and would love to see your channel grow. They're all little works of art. 🎨
Thank you so very much, Arianne! The waves of emotion are so real. After sharing this video I've been feeling a lot more content and productive-- hopefully it lasts more than the usual 3 days. I hope today is a good day for you ☀️
Thank you for being a long for the ride as my channel grows :)
We are definitely listening, we hear you and we understand ☺ thank you for a lovely video ♥
Thank you so much ♥
Just found you yesterday. New favorite TH-camd. Subscribed!!
I'm so glad you're here!! Cheers, friend ☕️✨
That scene with the lid was such a me thing to do lol. I laughed at the Matilda reference, that was my favorite movie growing up so I immediately remembered the scene. I'm sorry to hear about your job, will definitely be praying and sending good vibes your way. I always say just remember that everything is temporary, and one day all the worries of today will seem so silly.
Hahaha, the lid!! I felt so deceived 😂
Oooh Matilda 😊 Someone recently told me that I reminded them of Ms. Honey and it was, perhaps, one of my most favorite compliments of all time!
Thank you so very much for your prayers. Someday (hopefully soon) I will look back and say "ah, now I understand why that happened." I hope all is well with you, Stephanie 💛
I love you vlogs dear! So cozy!
"Cosy, simple lifestyle in which the small things are appreciated" -
Love what you said in this video: everything is so uncertain. I'm also goal oriented and I feel guilty when I don't tick off everything on my to-do list that day 😔 Just wanted to say you DEFINITELY aren't alone, and you (my friend) are amazing 💕 I started my TH-cam channel recently after being inspired by the calmness of your videos which I found during isolation 🙂 Also, I know many people aren't into patron but I would love to support you in this time as your videos are so lovely and calm my anxiety 🌱
Aaah, thank you so very much for this, Emsy 😌 I love your videos and really hope you continue to create-- you are so talented!
Also, thank you for your encouragement to create a Patreon! I've wanted to start one but I have no idea what to offer viewers beyond my TH-cam videos. I've thought about doing monthly phone background illustrations with quotes from the books I'm reading?... Also maybe videography lessons? Is there anything you'd appreciate seeing on my hypothetical patreon?
Here's to taking it one day at a time and appreciating magic in the simple things 🌱✨📚
I know it’s been really frustrating not getting to all or none of your to do’s, I also was feeling that way too. So what I decided to do was to only put a few things down for the day. Some days it works other time not so much. Don’t beat your self up. These times are weird for us all. But stay positive and we are going to make it through because we are amazing.😄 also, I really appreciate your channel as it has help me to stay positive and to enjoy the simple things.
Thank you so very much Nicole :) You're right! a few to-do's a day is a worthy accomplishment! Just as we're forced to readjust to the times, we must also readjust our expectations of ourselves. I'm happy you found my channel and I raise my tea mug to you! ☕️
Your videos never fail to make me smile! It's great to see you pushing through these hard times, and I send you all my luck and love! ❤️🍀
Thank you so very much, Fran! We will all get through ✨
I hope your job finding goes alright, Morgan! 🌻💙 And yes, the time has been flying when I'm home, it's ridiculous 😨 it will be alright, we all have to remember not to be too hard on ourselves even though it's difficult, we are all going through this together and we will be ok💙✌
Thank you sooo much for your comforting words, Hannah 🌻💙 It feels good to now we're not alone in this. Everything will work out for us, there's simply no other way ✨
@@MorganLong 🥰🌼
Oh Mo, I am so sorry about your job. Hearing you talk out your feelings and being so optimistic is so heartwarming; good things ARE coming your way. You are a ray of sunshine.
Again, another fantastic video. 💛 I must know what song was playing for the “Sunday morning” clip; if you don’t mind sharing. 😊
Hi, Stef!! thank you so much for your positivity 💛 Your comments are always a big hug for me 🤗
The song is:
"Life Could Be So Simple" by Anthony Lazaro ☕️
your videos are so relaxing to watch during this time
things will absolutely work out! Thank you for being here
Yes that introduction song for making the orange juice is on point!! Love your videos! Saludos
Ahh, I seriously love that song! It makes me so happy! Saludos ✨
Somehow your videos give me a lot of peace
And you were right: all was ok in the end! 🤗❤️
I can appreciate and resonate with everything you are saying! I honestly believe the hardest, and simultaneously the best, thing this difficult time has showed us is the importance of slowing down. I have slacked off as well lately, but I feel that after working so hard for so long it is good for people to take some down time! As hard as it is, and as "unproductive" as we may feel, it is OKAY to take a day every now and then to drink a cup of tea and reflect. Take time to pick up a new hobby, finish that book, try new recipes. Again, I can understand and appreciate what you are saying about feeling so unproductive. However, try not to be too hard on yourself. When is the last time we all took a day and literally did nothing? It is good for the soul to rest and recharge
I love this comment
I'm finding the days in quarantine go so quick with hardly anything done too, it's so frustrating! I do find just taking tasks one thing at a time makes it easier but I still struggle. Good luck! ❤
Right?? Just as we're forced to readjust to the times, we have to also readjust our expectations of ourselves. It's a process but we're well on our way! Big hugs 🤗
love all the good vibes :) and it is going to be okay ~
It will absolutely be okay
That’s horrible that you lost your job. My boyfriend’s parents own a small restaurant and their struggling as well. Just hang in there. I know things seem bad right now but they will get better! It’s awesome of you to share these personal experiences with us.
Thank you so much for your encouragement
Morgan Long Thank you! Yeah they are getting by pretty well.
I hope things get better. Will they ever go back to the old normal. Don’t think so. I’m in NJ and cases are going back up. We still aren’t as high as other stated but still bad. I love watching you videos I’m trying to go back and catch up on ones I haven’t seen. They are so relaxing.
I love your videos, thank you for the effort of making from this simple things the nicest moments of the day.
The math while you have two oranges. 🤣🤣🤣❤️
i am so sorry to hear about your job.. however, you are such a lovely soul in seeing the positives and being hopeful in this time. you are def not alone in your feelings, this has been such a chaotic time and it’s affecting us in so many strange and different ways, and it is very hard to cope, especially on top of what you’re going through right now. i’m wishing everything works out for you in the end! ps i love your vegan vibes shirt:)
Thank you so so so much, Rhiannon
Loved the Matilda reference 🥰but on a more serious note, I can't say more of how amazing all your affirmations are and I LOVE all your positive messages and metaphors that you put out there of how slowly but surely we will get through this x sending all the lovee xx IT WILL WORK OUT ♥️
IT WILL WORK OUT! Yes!! Thank you so much Ellie-- you are such a comfort to me xx ♥️
No problem, I hope you're as well as you can and I'm looking forward to the next video !♥️😁
you have the best feel good vlogs
You're soooo pretty!!! Lucky!❤️
I love your videos!
New subscriber here! 👋🏻
First of all we have the same last name. Yay! 😂 Also the shots in this vlog were STUNNING. So happy I found your channel!
I’m a photographer as well! Definitely feeling the hardships os working freelance at this time. ♥️
Hi, Liv!! We even look alike- maybe we're distantly related 😊
I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed your Self-Care weekend 📚 I hope you've had some more photoshoots or freelance work of sorts since then. I'm still trying to get it all figured out.
Hugs, ♥️
I can totally relate to your financial problems right now. I have a source of income that will cease at the end of the year and I was actively trying to find employment before the pandemic hit. Now there are no jobs available and I'm just praying it'll all be over soon so I can start job hunting again. My stress and anxiety is going through the roof but I'm positive it'll all be ok.
Thanks for sharing your story and I've noticed your subscriber number is increasing a lot, so who knows, maybe next year it can earn you a decent income :) Wishing you all the very best xx
It feels so good to know we're not alone in this. It HAS to work out and I really hope the way becomes clear for us soon.
Yes, my channel is growing quickly and it makes me SO happy!! This is what I truly love to do and it will be a dream come true when I can simply continue to make videos and build this community and not have to worry about finances.
Everything will be okay, things will work out for us
@@MorganLong Your words are always so beautiful and inspiring. Good luck lovely ❤
Hi Morgan ! I haven't been able to comment lately but I have been watching. As always your vlogs remind me that I can get through the days and everything will be ok. I am so sorry to hear about your job situation I am sure a blessing is around the corner. I haven't been doing the best with everything going on but I am trying to hold on. Thank you for another calming video. I hope you, Landon and Roo are doing well
Hi, Amber!! Day by day, everything will be okay
Hello, new subscriber here! This is the second video of yours that I have watched and oh... I can relate so very much! Story of my life over quarantine has been thinking about and attempting to get so much done (especially the house cleaning!) and somehow the day slips by and I accomplish nothing.. 🤔 I can also relate to being laid off and facing uncertainty but I also keep telling myself it will be okay. 😉 Haha, I also live in Portland 🌲and here we are in July and I still need to rotate my spring/summer wardrobe! I think because I'm in comfy pjs or yoga attire being home so much! You have inspired me to get to work on my closet and house cleaning! I love the bright, joyful vibe of your video mixed with honesty about how you're feeling. 💗 Also, your home is gorgeous!
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 (thank you for your positive flowers!)
Ahhhh isso e tão bom 😌😌
PHO!! i had the best tofu pho last night from my fav local place! a treat!! i felt what you said about being guilty and time being weird. online uni started this week ( a mESS), i got laid off work as well, my grandma got hospitalized (she's stable) and i feel like i am getting nothing done. the best thing we can do is being compassionate and gentle with ourselves like we would be with our loved ones. we will get through this mo! :) x
Oh man, so many things!! I'm amazed by your positivity through it all-- so inspiring, Leonie! I'm really glad your grandma is stable and hopefully well on her way back to healthy. Is online uni a continuation of the semester or is it a new semester at a new (masters?) school?
Compassion (an lots of Pho 😋) is absolutely the way to get through this
Two videos later... I'm back! O/ I watched both of your previous videos, but I couldn't comment. My laptop broke and it was the first time during this entire quarentine that I felt bad. I was just like Ross screaming "Why bad things happen to good people?" HAHAHHAHAHAH I teach online, but just like you I had some of my classes reduced, so at the time I though "It's ok, I can spend less, and I always have some money save" and then... I had to buy a new computer. I felt super down, and I was not productive, just as you said it , I always have goals, I'm also super organized, so it was that unpredictable moment that hit me.
I'm not gonna say that I'm happy that your house was a mess, but now I feel that it's okay that mine is a bit messy too because I'm not alone HAHAHA I hope you could find the motivation to keep doing what you wanted to do.
Now, that you are going to work less hours, are you going to upload more videos on YT?
And please, update us on your drawing journey. I wish we could attach files here, but last week I finished my first drawing for my classes online. I had a lot of fun doing it, I can see some things that I could improve, but it was just the first one, so I'll have time to get better at drawing.
I'm so sorry to hear about your laptop fiasco!! The same thing happened to me last year and it was such a struggle to get a new laptop but once I had one, I felt super fancy and brand new.
I'm glad you're keeping up with your drawing class!! It's so exciting to learn new things!
I haven't had much time to draw or read. Making TH-cam videos takes up a lot of time (20+ hours a video!). I would love to make more of them when my job stops but I'll also need to dedicate that time to finding more work. If I had it my way, I'd be able to make 3 videos a week AND draw AND read and explore and get outside with friends-- that is my ideal life! There has to be a way to make it happen AND make money.
It's okay to feel allll of the emotions, good and bad, but I'm glad you've been able to stay mostly positive! Thank you for being here, friend ✨
Is that some kind of maple tree outside your livingroom window? I've always been curious of what kind of tree it is, it's beautiful 😍🌳
And I appreciate your honesty so much, I think most of us can relate & I hope you take care of yourself ❤️ Love from Sweden.
Yes, it's a beautiful Japanese Maple!
Thank you, friend ❤️ Love from the States
Oh my gosh, I was cracking up that you sat on the dog bed and your dog decided he wanted the chair.
This is the problem with YT. You have to be quite big to make a lot of money, which means people will make videos that are not necessarily high quality but more attention seeking kind of. And as soon some gets really big you usually cannot expect answers on your comments anymore because they get just too many. :/ But I am happy you are optimistic. We need this during these times. Thank you for a wonderful vlog and I had a good laugh about your dog, sitting in that chair like a cat. :D
Hi, Julie! Yes, it is unfortunate that some people post low-quality content only seeking views. I love the community I have on TH-cam, thank you for being a part of it :)
Hahaha, Roo is most serious about his wooden chair 🐾
MORGAN!!!!🤗😊❤️🥰Sending GIANT hugs to you!! First - I relate to the Matilda reference on a molecular level. 😂❤️. Next - a Pho cooking class!! 😭😩❤️❤️❤️Thank You!! Also, when RoO sat in your chair and you sat on his bed 😂I felt that. Charlie would literally have done the same thing 🤣 Landon did a SUpercalafragilisticexpeallydoshas job on the walkway 🥳👏☺️. Also, I’m so so sorry you got let go ☹️that. Stinks! 😭 I’m so sad for you❤️ I remember when I got terminated last year after the accident i cried so much. But I realized later to look forward to something even better! I can’t Wait for your website and product! I’m totally buying everything! And Geez the nerve of TH-cam, 10 cents? Excuse me?? Your videos are a billion times better than most of the crap on their system. Gee whiz. Jason is trying to start up a channel - mostly though for reasons like you for a community and such but dang - not what he was thinking when he heard you can make some dough. Most importantly, I am so so glad you guys are all feeling ok! P.S today was my one year anniversary since the car accident. This time last year I was in ICU and this day this year - watching a glorious Morgan video safe and sound at home! 🥳🤗thank you so much! What a special treat for today! 🤗❤️
CAROLINE!! I love your comment so much, I have the biggest smile on my face! ❤️ Thank you for the giant hug! And lol at the molecular level-- I totally relate! The Pho was inspired by you!
Hahaha, RoO is so particular about his space and when he'd like to cuddle vs. when he just can't even be in the same room.
Thank you for your empathy with my job situation 😢🤗 It will all get sorted out!
I'm so glad I can count on you to support my product design endeavors ☺️
Yeah, the reality of the TH-cam monetization was a bit surprising, but it grows as your channel grows-- there's still opportunity! I'm excited for Jason and his channel!
WOW, happy anniversary!! Today is a celebration of how very VERY strong and full of light you are ✨☀️💛 I'm honored to have been a part of your day. Big hugs, sweet friend! 🤗❤️
You make me happy weekend cuz your video🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm so very glad! 😊
The music at the beginning reminds me of chilean folklore, which made me so happy as I am from Chile :)
Such a calming clip!!
Keep shining!

Thank you, friend! ✨
