  • Hello there~ This vlog is an absolute mess of bits and bobs that I recorded last week. The weather was really lovely most days so I spent a lot of time out in parks and cafes trying to enjoy before summer sets in fully here in Seoul. Thanks for coming along as always and I'm sending you love from Korea!!!

    Hi guys! I'm having trouble getting back to all of your comments (seriously, overwhelmed by your sweet responses) so I just want to say thank you right here! Just to clarify about me feeling "meaningless," more than about the virus/quarantine, I was speaking about what's happening back in America and now all over the world with the BLM movement. I really want to be able to do more than just donate and spread links/info, but that's all I seem to be able to do here in Korea. If you've been to a protest or shared your voice in-person in anyway, thank you. I wish I was standing up with you. That's why the whole ~going to get a smoothie bowl~ seems so stupid while my friends are literally being hit with rubber bullets and an in-fathomable amount of crimes against the Black community are still being ignored by law enforcement (Breonna Taylor's murderers are still cops)
    I get the message that my vids can be an escape or recharge from what's going on so I'll keep making them but I just still feel a little odd living while others are risking their lives. I don't know, rambling as usual but really thank you - I'm here to stay don't worry! I hope me bringing a moment of escapism to those who are on the ground still marching can be my small contribution to the cause.

      Hey! I've been following you on IG as well, and I know you've been vocal about donating on there - I think another way to help with video ~malaise~ might be to either steer people towards foundations/organizations/individuals who are involved with BLM, or even using the video adsense towards donating to those causes. Another thing I'd be interested in is seeing in are BIPOC shops/cafes in Korea!

      i know i’m late to this comment but i feel the exact same way and i even live in austin texas. i only donated and didn’t go protest bc i always had work but i felt so mad that i couldn’t bc i felt like i wasn’t ~really~ doing something but i promise u even just talking about is doing something so don’t beat urself up over it :) i had to learn that too

    Hi Cari, I just wanted to tell you how much your vlogs have helped me recently. Prior to watching your videos, I had always been anxious to do things on my own, and I would often not go to places even if I rlly wanted to because my friends would be busy with school, work, etc. I regret that so much now especially since quarantine has made me unable to go out to these places. I love these vlogs because you show how much fun it can be to go out and do things on your own, and even how liberating it can be bc you’re only doing what you want to do. Anyways I’m rambling now but you’re so inspiring and I can’t wait to take this new mindset w me for the future ☺️❤️

    • @caricakes
      @caricakes  4 года назад +14

      thank you so much for this!! i hope once quarantine is over you can safely and happily go explore on your own! it takes some getting used to but its better to go experience something alone than miss out because you didnt have others to go with :) have a wonderful day!!!

    (The reason why military planes are often seen is because the air force airfield is nearby.)
    Wow~!! The Olympic Park is my most favorite place in Korea. I used to hang out there with my friends when I was in School. Even after I got married, I often took my child for a walk there. This video reminds me of my childhood. My goal is to move back to the neighborhood and live there but the price of house near there is too high. Anyway, thank you for the uploading the video.

    I've just moved states here in Australia and so I don't know anyone where I live and we've been in lockdown basically since we moved. It's only in the last week or so that things are really opening up again. I've been trying to 'meet' local people online but nothing is the same as interacting in person...even for us introverts! Don't under-rate how valuable your videos are to others because just seeing other places through your eyes is a breath of fresh air when I've basically been in my apartment day in day out for most of the week. It's also winter here so horizontal rain has also kept me indoors. When my partner is home on the weekends we do go out for walks in the bush but your videos make me feel like I am travelling more broadly. I hope so much to visit Korea. Everything that comes through your camera is new to my eyes even though you see it every day.

      And seeing food that I would like to eat but can't is painful but also mentally satisfying (pretending I can eat it). ahhaah! I hope you get to make some face to face new people soon, even if it's just strangers (being introvert), I guess a smiling face/hello of a stranger makes a difference. 😊

    I don't know if this helps you with your "mini existential crises" but I hope you know that you are playing your part, in your own way, and it does mean a lot to some of us out here. ❤️

Your content is NOT meaningless--it reminds all of us to calm down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life again, like we use to before all of this crap. That is important and very much needed in times like these. Thank you 😌

    I just wanted to let you know that your content, no matter how mundane or messy your days are, really lifts me up and makes me feel less depressed in these times. I was an essential worker over quarantine here in America, and your videos kept motivating me to work hard and get back to the place that made me happiest- Seoul. I'll be moving back next week! Thank you so much for being a positive beacon of happy yet real vibes in my life, and know that your work is not small nor meaningless!
    Love ya lots, Ashleigh

    Your vlog is the remedy for my homesickness. It’s been 20 years since I left Korea and I might not go back for good since now I have my family here in the states. Your videos give me so much comforts and it feels like i’m there with you. Yes, there are bigger things happening in the world. But our lives are made with these little moments and we will take them with us when we leave this world. Please find comfort in the fact that there is a woman in the states feeling happy by watching your vlog. Totally meaningful!!

    Thank you for your videos. We save all our RUclips videos for the weekend so that we can get through these hard weeks. Your video is usually the first one we watch. You are so calming and the places you visit are so serene. It’s wonderful to see that there are places that are still beautiful. And that there is still a world existing outside of our small area. As a Canadian viewer it’s really nice to be pulled away from what is going on in our country and the US, even just for a few minutes. These days are so difficult and so draining. We can’t serve from an empty vessel, and videos like yours fill us up with hope and joy and beauty so that we can continue in fighting for a better world. So thank you.

    Your content is most definitely not meaningless.

You’re doing amazing sweetie, and thank you for sharing your life and AESTHETIC with us.

    Your feelings are so valid. I know I've commented something like this before, but your videos have honestly been helping me get by because I'm strictly socially distancing and haven't had any other human interaction (other than my family) in over three months. Not only that but your book and art content has inspired me to read more often and draw/watercolor for the first time in my life! Your content is really meaningful to me and I truly thank you for being so vulnerable and open.

I’m sure there are many others who would agree. Please do not be discouraged in making videos but find joy in whatever good we take from them.

    What you do is not meaningless. Your vlogs always make me smile and remind me of the simple joys in life. They are a lovely little escape during these trying times. I lost my job as a graphic designer a week and a half ago, thanks to covid-19 and I thought that now that I have all this free time that I would spend it making art and illustrations to build a portfolio of the kind of work I really want to do... but so far I haven't felt motivated to do anything. Maybe we just need to be a little kinder to ourselves and take things slow. You should feel proud of yourself. I love your content. Please don't stop. You've inspired me to take myself to the movies tomorrow and stop stressing so much!

    @chasingmillions8584 4 года назад

    To echo the many comments, watching you do simple things like get a smoothie bowl has been so nice for me. Lockdown and rules have not been loosened too much where I am, so having you "take us places" has been something to look forward to. And, even if we weren't in Covid times, I'd still find your videos a treat. 😌 Thank you, Cari! Much love from Canada xoxo

  • @folkingmarvellous

    For what it’s worth, I think it’s great to make vlogs like this, wit yo getting smoothie bowls and living life as normally as possible. I’m in the uk and lockdown has only just started easing and it’s been so nice to watch someone in a country that’s dealt a bit better and been getting on a bit better. I live vicariously through you getting smoothie bowls! It also gets me very excited for my trip to Seoul which I’m planning as soon as travel becomes easier!

  • @AnnaAndersen1
    @AnnaAndersen1 4 года назад

    Your content is in no way meaningless. I might watch it a little later than most people, because I have to save up my mental energy to sit down an concentrate all my focus on a video. BUT with that being said, your videos bring me SUCH pure joy. Watching you take us to all the beautiful places, when we can't go is just so nice, all the nature and the beautiful food. I get jealous, but in a good way, it gives me a want to travel more and see more of the world, I especially love seeing the flowers of the olympic park - since I can't go myself, I am so grateful that you take me there virtually so often. So thank you for you, but don't ever feel obligated to film, if you're not in the right headspace

You have such unique content and it really inspires me and makes me daydream about traveling (my goal in life is to travel). I'm an 18yo girl from Greece and I just want to thank you personally for sharing your experiences in such a beautiful way.

    Your videos are a highlight for me ❤️❤️❤️ I hope your foot heals quickly! To me your videos are not useless.... they are a nice (needed) change and an escape from all the hurt in the world and I support you no matter what. I hope you can feel like yourself and feel inspired once again soon ❤️❤️😌 I am right there with you with not feeling myself and feeling lost. Thank you for all your lovely vlogs and videos, they sure do put me in a better mood. Luv you 🥰

    Hi Cari! That feeling you mentioned at the end--I feel that a lot. One of the reasons we love your vlogs, though, is that many of them are an ode to ordinary life. The way you shoot, edit, and frame things reminds me to notice things in my life that I'd overlook otherwise, and that's very grounding when the world around is crazy. You're doing a public service here!

    Your vlog is something and it means something to everyone who watches. My father passed away from the covid virus and watching and listening to you reminds me of my trips to Korea and good times. There is a comfort there when you take us along for your day or week and some of us can escape for a little bit. Thanks for what you do.

    Hi Cari, I just wanted to let you know that your content is not meaningless, I've discovered your videos in quarantine and they've helped me to not only stay sane during this social distancing but also you inspire me to keep motivated and prepare myself to follow my dreams and live in Korea in the future. The little things that you capture and your thoughts are so valuable and even if it's not in a conventional way they do change lives and I'm really grateful for that. Hope you feel better soon and thank you for all your hard work and for being you :)

    Hi Cari! Thanks so much for uploading your videos. I know a lot of people have also commented the same already, but they are very helpful! I've had several trips cancelled the past few months and your videos help me "travel" all the same. You always capture such beautiful, tiny pockets full of life! Raindrops on the bus window? Brought me so much peace. I think sometimes we feel so small when the world feels too big for us, but our little daily moments and routines hold so much meaning. Thank you for sharing your feelings -- you are definitely not alone. You are very creative and have showed us so much fun art and projects! I bet the next big one is right around the corner :)

  • @mariellaciniglio389

    I really resonated with you at the end of your video Cari. Your videos are far from meaningless. I'm sure I can speak for many of us who watch your channel when I say that you have truly been a beacon of hope in these confusing and unsettling times. You provide us all with a sense of escapism whilst we're all trying to figure out how to cope with our feelings as well as making the world a better place. Keep doing what you're doing Cari. You are certainly not alone. I want to thank you personally for letting me live vicariously through your videos whilst I (impatiently) wait for the lockdown to be released here in the UK. You have helped me through some of my darkest days. You have inspired me to make more plans for the future and venture out into the world - Seoul is now certainly on my list of places to visit. Oh, and great movie choice :) I saw it when it released and it gave me a feeling of pure nostalgia and comfort :) Thank you again Cari.

Thank you for letting us peek into your daily life, when your are grabbing coffee, getting smoothie bowl, and all these things that you think are meaningless. That's what a lot of people, cut out from friends and families, need these days - a virtual friend :)

    Thank you so much for sharing your version of Seoul with us. We had a trip to Seoul completely planned and payed for when the virus hit and had to cancel. We go to Seoul twice a year to partake in the beauty and thank god that you are posting things that we really wanted to see this time. We all are helpless against all the craziness, especially in the US, so I find it comforting to see Korea, shinning through to show us how our lives can be, at least some of the time, imbued with simple beauty. We were laughing when you said in your video that this was a "lazy time" for you. Ha, ha ha!! Please continue with your lazy life! We love it.

    Thank you for talking and brining attention to how existential and empty these days makes us feel inside. Finding motivation to wake up in the morning and not just isolate yourself from your family and the world, has become an actually daily challenge... scary...
    please don’t feel you videos are pointless!! They are a little gap to escape right NOW and a little gap to still believe this will end❤️

    Spouting feeling whilst looking at beautiful views is a vibe. Edit: Btw Cari, you are making a contribution by making these videos in that it's not just footage of a smoothie bowl, it's your artistic creation that brings feelings of joy, peace, calmness and comfort to a person's life, especially during times of stress and anxiety, so thank you for your contribution. :)

    You don’t need to worry about your content because it is everything I want! The flower fields, cafes with the perfect song selection just brings me so much joy! But if u don’t feel like filming then don’t! Just give yourself time when needed. Also u raise awereness in important matters and that is making a difference! I donated to Islamic Relief hopefully to help Yemen and that is because you showed me in your stories. 💕

    Cari! Your vlogs have been such a source of comfort and hope and *life* this period... I cannot express how good they have been to watch especially because my country's just coming out of quarantine today, it's been really nice seeing life outside of my window even if it's through your eyes instead of my own. Can't wait to be able to travel again and to hopefully be able to walk the same paths you've taken us down but for now, I am so thankful for your vlogs! :")

    For me, this video was really nice. These small things you show us, it can be sounds or just a view or someone baking a cake, idk it's something about it that really is what I love about life and I completely understand you with that feeling of that things are meaningless. I've been feeling that a lot around these times and I'm just kind of going on and trying to do things just to not sink deeper in and these kinds of videos help me really much. Sometimes you have to find a balance between taking care of yourself and the rest of the world and you just have to try your best but it can be hard...Either way I want to really thank you for this video, it made some of my day, gave me some kind of motivation. Thank you for that Cari 🍃🌿💞

    also, its okay! if u don't feel like creating content atm, then u can take a break. i'd rather u take a break and come back fully or mostly motivated than u just dragging urself and forcing urself to put out something for the sake of it. i think most of us would totally understand! at least i wouldn't mind at all! i'd obviously miss ur vids tho, but i could definitely live with rewatching ur old vids for a while hahah
