sorry for the belated posting. hope a late upload is still better than no upload at all 😂 . p.s. leave me a comment and let me know how and when you discovered our content!! I would love to hear it
I'm pretty sure I started following you after watching one of your Day in the LIfe as a nurse during Christmas, which popped up on my youtube recommend, and I've followed you since ;)
I found your channel when I was looking into being a RN at freshman or sophomore year and I think it was one of your “what’s in my backpack as a nurse “videos and then I started watching other vids and loved your channel a lot so I subscribed. ( I don’t think that was the exact title but it was something liked that)
It’s sad to see both you and Kev getting burnt out and not being able to really enjoy your time together. I hope you guys were able to really enjoy each other’s company during your mini vacation. Thanks for being real and showing us the downsides and the upsides of your lives. I hope things get better ❤️
So they are taking a break from yt and not from they relationship? Ps: English isn’t my native language so sometimes I don’t understand everything perfect.
I too work in a hospital, and I’m everywhere since I work in radiology. I travel to the ER, OR, floors, ICU’s. And it’s overwhelming and it’s a lot, so I totally get you guys
I SUPER feel that "its harder to make girlfriends than a boyfriend" haha I also moved to Seattle a few years ago and it's been really hard making friends, I meet new people but I feel like it's hard to start new friendships
Girllll don’t be sorry it’s okay to need and to take a break. We all get burnt out at some point and need time off. You guys deserve this break. Hope you feel a bit better after taking the break! Love you Miki!!!! 💕
Miki, I totally feel you! My boyfriend and I also got together early pandemic, and we're both PhD students who have at least another 4 years of the grueling research life ahead of us. I totally went through a slump in January--idk why this time in particular, perhaps because coronavirus got a lot worse and we were in even stricter of a lockdown. To be honest, I lost my motivation for everything--my research, my goals post-grad, my personal relationships. It was really hard, and I'm still working through it but things have been a little better in February so far. It's hard when life just feels so routine and there's no end in sight. The fun part of grad school and life--socializing, happy hours, random events, meeting new people, talking with coworkers regularly--was just sucked out. We just have to stay strong, and we'll get through this. I'm sure our mindsets will shift as the pandemic gets better.
Miki, You got this and I am SO glad to see you having a break after working all the time and little to no break for yourself. Take this time together and spent it with each other and I hope to see you feel better. I hope after this you can feel refreshing start again. One advice is maybe try new things, something you haven't done before, or have left off doing on something you wanted to try. And yes, working out makes me feel better and helps my body a lot, no matter how much I don't want to do it so I feel ya. I am glad you are sharing your life, because Miki we are here for you. Even if you took a break from Social Media we will still be there for you. You have given us, or at least me, very great advice and tips. But I know that Miki, you and Kevin will pulled through this. I am pretty sure you pulled through hard times before and you will once again. But both of y'all DON'T give up, you are good enough, hang in there, keep going, and keep thinking positive. Remember Trouble days don't last always. You are well more capable than you know. Trust me, your hard work will pay off. Have a great rest of the week!!!! :)
Definitely going to make a whole video dedicated to this. Here are my biggest tips: 1. Acknowledge it. If you are burnt out- say it out loud. Let yourself admit it. Embrace it. Know that you can be burnt out anytime, anywhere. I was the MOST burnt out during the first year of my career. 2. Talk about it. Usually your coworkers are the best people to talk to because they are the only ones who know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes. Almost everyone has been burnt out at one point or another so it's helpful to talk to people close to your experience level and also people with much more experience. 3. Come up with a REAL action plan. What is the real issue? Does a vacation make you feel less burnt out? Is it the JOB? Is it that you want to advance in your career but feel like you're stuck? Sometimes burn out cause be a side effect of other feelings that are built up inside. Figure out what you need to that you be back at 100%.
Take yourself time to actually rest and calm down, take walks,read, take your time witout noise, workout, take long baths, find a new hobby. Find new things to think about, that dont stress you. Have time with your friends and family - talk with them about it, to get it off of your chest.
When I read your reply I thought you said Heartache field. I was like “yes! It is!” I am a trauma icu RN at a level 1 and I just can’t, sometimes, with the pain and the heartache. I appreciate our residents, I can see the suffering and the exhaustion in their eyes. I appreciate their effort and care and I send little prayers that we all make it through and keep going!
I first discovered ur channel by watching ur "things I wish I knew before nursing school" video! Watching ur content always makes me feel cheerful and reassured. I just got accepted to nursing schools and I'm excited to start the journey this fall
I love how you said “nothing changes if nothing changes”! I’m always saying “nothing really changes until it does” and my friends don’t really get it - and I don’t really get it either but I just think it’s such a nice thing to bear in mind. The straightforward and obviousness of it all
I can relate to you on so many levels 1. Wanting to be a better version of yourself 2. Wanting that enthusiasm for life back (went through that a couple months ago) 3. All or nothing mentality 4. Changing that mentality and trying small habits, I recommend ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear (currently on chapter 2 it’s a great read) 5. Introvert 6. Finding girlfriends is hard!!!! (Good for you for not flaking!) 8. Trying to change my morning and evening habits as well (avoiding my phone and In my case tv shows) 7. I’ve been married for 7 years and always trying to make time! 8. I too, live in the pacific north west. Moved recently and haven’t been able to go places due to the pandemic! I want to explore! 9. I’m a nurse too! Anyways, just felt a connection and wanted to let you now you’re awesome! Keep being motivated and making strides for a happier full-filled you!
I think because you guys are both always so busy, the time that you do spend together makes that moment even more memorable and important. It is very tough because it is out of your control, but even just spending a few minutes here and there throughout the week makes a difference in the long term. This is just my own personal experience, but I'm the kind of person to be okay with not talking to my love ones for a very long time. I understand that everyone has their own lives to live and they are all busy with their own things. That's why I don't hold it against them for not having as much time as they would like to. It doesn't make me love them any less because we don't spend enough time together. Instead, it's very understandable to me and I just support them until they fall back. Understand that regardless how busy a person can be, it honestly comes down to that individual to make the time out of their day to put the effort into developing a relationship. If they care about the relationship, they will find a way to put in the time. Unless a person works 24/7 and 365 a day, he has the time.
Miki: Woah babe look at those veins My sister is a nurse and she’d always make comments about strangers veins...I never understood it. Must be a nursing thing 😎😁 Love you guys💜
I totally understand when you said you've never gone through the phase of going crazy making friends. I always hoped that I could be like that especially in middle school and high school since I hated how introverted I was. It was even worse when people asked me why I never talk or why Im antisocial. I am so glad that I have finally gotten to the part in life where Im comfortable being me. Some people can handle having a large circle but definitely not me!
I really resonate with a lot that you’re feeling. I think it’s hard to share with anyone that you’re not feeling your best even when you’re doing/trying your best but I really appreciate your authenticity during this time. I really hope that this break is what you both need and that you get to spend quality time together.
This was the most relatable vid everrr. Thank you for showing your genuine self and not being afraid to be vulnerable to your viewers. Keep your chins up, I know you guys will make it through!
Not having anything to do does not make it boring. Motivate yourself girl! We're rooting for you and don't forget: mind over matter. I think that we live in a society were we are expected to live a fast life, and right now during the pandemic we've lost things to do, so its a confusing thing getting used to a life like this. Wish you the best for this month! Take it one day at a time :) Don't be so hard on yourself.
Miki keep going girl! I know exactly how you and Kevin are feeling. I'm an RN and my bf is a police officer. Being on the "frontline" during this pandemic, along with the shift working element and opposite rostering schedule takes its toll! I hope you and Kevin enjoy your well deserved break, and have some lovely quality time together 💕 love from Australia xx
I discovered you on RUclips as a suggested watch. No regrets. This was around 2 weeks ago. Everyone deserves to live their life on their terms. Don’t worry about others. Sending love from Cali.
Awe Miki, it’s totally normal to get that feeling of burn out & exhaustion from work. Especially working the frontlines of a pandemic. I feel this feeling every now & again too. But keep on doing the things that are good for you & your body!
i knew you in tiktok and a follower of yours and i also subscribe you here in youtube i love your content esp during all about covid and now im enjoying watching both of u here in yt and salute to all frontliners ❤️❤️❤️ im frm 🇵🇭
highly agree with being stuck in a rut. My work performance has decreased so much and my boss/manager keep expecting me to perform super well. It's so stressful during these times.
Yes- everyone in the entire universe is stuck in a rut. I'm proud that you two have recognized the signs and are investing in yourselves to add QUALITY back to your lives!
I found your channel in December while looking for motivational routine type videos. I love your vibe, positivity, and the way you share real thoughts/feelings!
It gets better Kevin! I appreciate the fact that you are very invested in your patients and their well-being, the patients and the staff notice this. You’re going to be the nurses favorite doc.
I appreciate the fact that you shared your emotion about starting habits. I am a perfectionist too and it's so hard to accept the fact that things are not good enough or turned out how I planned it to be. I hate this pandemic because you're right I cannot make friends too and it's so hard to find a girlfriend that has the same passion or interest as you have. Especially, I just came from the Philippines last February 2020 where it really affected my social interaction and even going to college. I was at the point where I thought it's my fault that everything that's happening right now was because I am not trying enough. Thank you so much Miki, love lots.
Miki, I have restless legs syndrome too. I’m using weighted blanket on my legs only and it helped tremendously. You probably already know this, but usually an increase in iron consumption will help with RLS. Probably your body have a hard time absorbing iron like me. Maybe you can look into getting iron injection. Iron supplement can damage your livers if taking it daily. Just want to share something I have been dealing with for the past 5 years.
I’m so sorry that you felt so burned out and tired! That’s because you’re exhausted! I could totally relate when I was your age 2 decades ago. I lived with my boyfriend for years before we could save enough money to get married and to buy our house in CA. We were lucky that we got help from the family. I’m so proud of u2 for making it this far and u2 are so responsible and mature for your age. Do something nice with Kevin. Spend quality time together whenever you can. I know it’s hard with his crazy hours. If you don’t feel like cooking, buy take-out like Chik Fil A. My favorite too but I prefer chez pizza if I have a choice. It’s okay to complain sometimes. This pandemic drives people crazy. I went out to walk for more than 3 miles by myself today. My teenage boy constantly drives me crazy and I don’t want to get mad every time. So I took deep breathes to calm down and decided to walk. U and Kevin are very cute together. Sending you lots of hugs!加油💪！❤️🥰😘
Chick-Fil-A is in Lynnwood, I believe. I might be wrong. Though I live an hour from Seattle and we have no Chick-Fil-A on the Kitsap Peninsula, I had the privilege of eating there as a child growing up in Alabama.
Well, Seattle vibe itself could make you fell down because of the raining and other stuff. And its even worse during the pandemic. I hope you can hope around the city finding a good food / other activities. Highly recommend university village for hanging around. ❤️
You’ve been dealing so well with moving to another city not knowing a lot of people and really just having to lean on each other during a pandemic!! It’s totally normal to feel how you’ve been especially with all your other responsibilities that sometimes you can feel like you don’t have the time to address some issues or make positive changes. Really so happy and proud for you for taking small initiatives and trying to do something different to go through the tough days! I feel the same and seeing life unfiltered vlogs just help me relate to you but also see my situation in another perspective!! Thanks so much Miki and Kev and here’s to a better February 💕💕
Though I am not working in the same field as you, your life is too relatable to mine. And I feel releived that, there are people out there rowing the same boat. Got a bit of motivation watching this. Take care :)
damn what a nice coincidence. i've been feeling super down and burnt out this month too. kinda nice to know someone is also randomly going through this too.
i was literally binging your videos just now. love you both sm take all the time y’all need to reconvene. gotta take care of yourself to take care of others :))
When I first moved to seattle I had no friends and it was me and my fiancé. I only made friends when I went back to school for nursing. It’s crazy hard to make friends. oh and the seattle freeze is a thing.
I found you while doing research on the Covid vaccine before getting my first dose and honestly your video gave me the confidence to get mine and I have been following you guys ever since and been watching old videos as well.... 😊❤️ love ur channel...... enjoy ur vacation.... much needed and deserving 🍾😍
Yes you do need a break. Thank you, thank you, for all that you do. I just started watching your videos. Very nice. Yes please take good care of yourself. Both of you take care of everyone else so much, it is time to be good to yourselves. Relax if you can . Too bad the spa’s are probably not open. That would be great for both of you to pamper yourselves physically and emotionally. 🙏🌹
I really admire you both. Reminds me of myself when I was at your age, working to help out at home, only difference is that I only worked during the day, office work. Will be keeping you both in my prayers. 🙏🏼😍🥰😘🌺💕❤️💐❤️💕💕💕
Miki, you are not alone ❤️ I can empathize with the “funk” you are doing through. I’m a nurse as well, and used to work nights (oh sis, I can totally relate). Hawaii could use more great nurses and residents! 🌺☀️😉
Aloha. Thank you for all of your hard work, especially at this time. I am also in healthcare (in sleep medicine) as well as living in Washington state. Oddly we as healthcare workers do not get the needed hours of sleep due to odd sleep hours. In addition, our sunlight in the PNW is decreased in the winter season - causing a cycle of depression, lacking V D, and the list goes on. The only way I can survive in a healthy state is snowboarding. I get my needed fresh air and oddly enough, I also get my sunlight up on the mountains. You both ought to try snowboarding or snowshoeing. So many people out at Crystal Mountain and all the ski resorts. I feel its the place we all socialize with our masks on, laughing and getting our needed exercise. Maybe on your next vlog, film an outdoor activity in snow of some sort. There is even cross country skiing and tubing at the Summit of Snoqualmie. Playing outside is a must, especially for us healthcare workers...
i totally felt that when you said it’s hard to make new girlfriends in a new city. i moved to seattle 2years ago, but i have struggled a lot to find genuine friends that I could share everything with. the seattle freeze is rough! thanks for sharing. i’ve also been in a rut. i hope things get better.
i think i first saw your tik toks on instagram?! but i just want to say i love your content, you and kevin are one of my favourite couples on youtube and i think you’re an amazing human being! watched some of your more serious videos and i loved how transparent and vulnerable you were with your subscribers but i also really appreciate how high energy, enthusiastic and fun your videos are especially in these hard times...hope you guys have an amazing break! 💗
You should buy nrf2 and nrf1 supplements from lifevantage. It helps with oxidative stress and inflammation in your body. Their all natural too so it’ll really help with soreness and energy especially
Getting burnt out from work is tough. Whether it's the work load or hours. It's taken me weeks to recover, once work load slows to a reasonable pace. Winter in the PNW has changed in the last few years. There's actually sun between Nov to Feb now; not just constant gray skies & drizzle.
In a strange way it kind of makes me feel better to see you guys acknowledging that things kind of suck lately and just trying to be ok with it. Makes me feel like I have someone/something to relate to (of course don't want you guys to struggle but you know what I mean). Anyway, love your content!
You two look exhausted! I'm a healthcare worker too so I understand. Must be difficult not having the same shifts but I'm so happy you found your ride or die! Just hang in there you two! You guys can go back to Cali anytime or go anywhere really! What matters is who you're taking with you on your life adventures & I believe you two found each other at a perfect time
Maybe if you guys get some time to explore Seattle together...would be nice! A change of environment can help or learning to turn on "fun time" and "turn off" healthcare worker you xD
"Life kinda sucks" lowkey felt that on a personal level but on an all serious note hope you guys are doing OK. take a break as long as you need. everyone deserves that self care day. sending lots of love
idk about the states but in Canada i kinda feel bad for the doctors because at night everyone is so cranky. A few years ago my granny fell and cracked her head open and we were there for 13 hours waiting for her to get stitches. we just saw so many people get mad at the nurses because the system needed to be updated, because the wait was so long etc. but everyone is just doing their job and doing their best
Have you ever tried bumble BFF? I’m like you in that I don’t like the shallow friendships but bumble BFF helped me a ton when I moved to a new city and I’m a generally shy, introverted person.
I'm so happy you guys are making it a priority to take a break! It's so important and I think with how hustle culture is, especially in the medical field, we neglect our mental and emotional needs and prioritize getting work done more often than not. Love y'all and I hope you're having a great break 🥰💕
Don’t ever break up please!!!! You two are my favourite couple on social media. You are so so so cute together but for some reason it’s not cringe like other couples. Enjoy your time off together
It’s fine I also need a break from school sometimes and what I want to do in the future my mom doesn’t want me to do it’s hard because I want her to be happy and I want to be happy as well but everything I want to do she disagrees and I feel like she is going to force me to do something!
Tbh, I don't remember how I found your content. Maybe Instagram or tik tok? But i've been subscribed for a while now I think since the beginning of quarantine. Ooo is Kevin a neurosurgery resident. I'm guessing surgery for sure 👀but aw I hope your little getaway does help you two! I hope you have/had fun
Miki, try going one day at a time, don’t overthink about your situation, I know easier said than done but I learned the hard way to do this and it’s helped me,
This was such a real video thank you, my bf and I who moved in together not too long ago were feeling the same thing, I was getting worried. I think it’s good to acknowledge the feelings. We both try to do our best to make special moments out of time we have.
Ah, Miki!! I totally relate with you 100% about preferring intimate friendships over shallow friendships. I wish I could also make more friends during this pandemic and connect with more people in so many ways. I hope for the future for us and that great things will come over time! ^_^
Awww, can understand how you feel, but remember good things come to those who wait. You wouldn't want to rush into a relationship just for the sake of having a boyfriend, and then sadly 😔 facing dire consequences.
I don't understand why I'm so attached to your videos. Now as i bingewatch your videos i found out🙂 you're an introvert person like me. You like to have only close few friends. You are not up for those shallow relationships. These are exactly me! 😊
Awww so glad you guys can finally get a break and spend time with each other!! Get lots of rest!!!!! Also really loved how real this video was. My moms a nurse too (20 years and counting!) and I can tell she gets burnt out sometimes. I know it can be exhausting but you (Kevin too:)) can do it!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT BREAK UP- Oh, you're going on a vacation. Have fun!
Oh god, thanks for your comment, I was getting anxious
🤣
phew i was getting anxious. i thiught they were gonna brak up

Maybe you and Miki/Kev can be friends 😀
SAME.
Yeeeahh
Omg i also moved to seattle and I have no friends lol
I'm glad you are being so candid about how hard it is to form meaningful friendship when you move. Literally going through the same thing here 😭
Kevin has the spirit and energy of a middle age Asian man
Yes I thought the same thing.
Is he Asian?
@@jakenyajones7268 no, he’s black.
You probably would too if you were working 100hrs a week every week!
what does that mean?

My sister is a nurse and she’d always make comments about strangers veins...I never understood it. Must be a nursing thing 😎😁 Love you guys💜
Totally a nurse thing my brother and his girlfriend both are nurse they do said the same thing
Well,my mom is working in med field too and this is exactly how she reacts to every new person "wow,those are very nice veins"...not creepy at all🤦😂
Big veins are easier to start IVs l

This was the most relatable vid everrr. Thank you for showing your genuine self and not being afraid to be vulnerable to your viewers. Keep your chins up, I know you guys will make it through!
Not having anything to do does not make it boring. Motivate yourself girl! We're rooting for you and don't forget: mind over matter. I think that we live in a society were we are expected to live a fast life, and right now during the pandemic we've lost things to do, so its a confusing thing getting used to a life like this. Wish you the best for this month! Take it one day at a time :) Don't be so hard on yourself.
Miki keep going girl! I know exactly how you and Kevin are feeling. I'm an RN and my bf is a police officer. Being on the "frontline" during this pandemic, along with the shift working element and opposite rostering schedule takes its toll!
I hope you and Kevin enjoy your well deserved break, and have some lovely quality time together 💕 love from Australia xx
I discovered you on RUclips as a suggested watch. No regrets. This was around 2 weeks ago. Everyone deserves to live their life on their terms. Don’t worry about others. Sending love from Cali.
Such a beautiful, loving and hardworking couple!! Thank you so much for helping all of those that come into your care!! ❤️💕
kevin's response 9/10 times: "mmmhmm"
Awe Miki, it’s totally normal to get that feeling of burn out & exhaustion from work. Especially working the frontlines of a pandemic. I feel this feeling every now & again too. But keep on doing the things that are good for you & your body!
i knew you in tiktok and a follower of yours and i also subscribe you here in youtube i love your content esp during all about covid and now im enjoying watching both of u here in yt and salute to all frontliners ❤️❤️❤️ im frm 🇵🇭
highly agree with being stuck in a rut. My work performance has decreased so much and my boss/manager keep expecting me to perform super well. It's so stressful during these times.
I think we are all along the same boat as you because of the world pandemic! You are not alone! 🥰
Yes- everyone in the entire universe is stuck in a rut. I'm proud that you two have recognized the signs and are investing in yourselves to add QUALITY back to your lives!
I'm 60 and feel like 22❤️
I found your channel in December while looking for motivational routine type videos. I love your vibe, positivity, and the way you share real thoughts/feelings!
"How do I even talk to people?" OMG meeeeeeeee
the dark hair looks sooo good on you miki 🥰❤️
Seattle winter can be tough...especially during a pandemic and when you are new to the city. Hang in there! Xoxo
It gets better Kevin! I appreciate the fact that you are very invested in your patients and their well-being, the patients and the staff notice this. You’re going to be the nurses favorite doc.
I appreciate the fact that you shared your emotion about starting habits. I am a perfectionist too and it's so hard to accept the fact that things are not good enough or turned out how I planned it to be. I hate this pandemic because you're right I cannot make friends too and it's so hard to find a girlfriend that has the same passion or interest as you have. Especially, I just came from the Philippines last February 2020 where it really affected my social interaction and even going to college. I was at the point where I thought it's my fault that everything that's happening right now was because I am not trying enough. Thank you so much Miki, love lots.
Congrats to everyone early enough to see this comment
Miki, I have restless legs syndrome too. I’m using weighted blanket on my legs only and it helped tremendously. You probably already know this, but usually an increase in iron consumption will help with RLS. Probably your body have a hard time absorbing iron like me. Maybe you can look into getting iron injection. Iron supplement can damage your livers if taking it daily. Just want to share something I have been dealing with for the past 5 years.
I was in that rot not to long ago!!!! Overcame it! Mind over matter -- so I’m waiting for you to keep going you got this!!!
I’m so sorry that you felt so burned out and tired! That’s because you’re exhausted! I could totally relate when I was your age 2 decades ago. I lived with my boyfriend for years before we could save enough money to get married and to buy our house in CA. We were lucky that we got help from the family. I’m so proud of u2 for making it this far and u2 are so responsible and mature for your age.
Do something nice with Kevin. Spend quality time together whenever you can. I know it’s hard with his crazy hours. If you don’t feel like cooking, buy take-out like Chik Fil A. My favorite too but I prefer chez pizza if I have a choice.
It’s okay to complain sometimes. This pandemic drives people crazy. I went out to walk for more than 3 miles by myself today. My teenage boy constantly drives me crazy and I don’t want to get mad every time. So I took deep breathes to calm down and decided to walk.
U and Kevin are very cute together. Sending you lots of hugs!加油💪！❤️🥰😘
Chick-Fil-A is in Lynnwood, I believe. I might be wrong. Though I live an hour from Seattle and we have no Chick-Fil-A on the Kitsap Peninsula, I had the privilege of eating there as a child growing up in Alabama.
I actually thought you guys were gonna put an end to the relationship😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
same
Yeah right. Then how would she label everything doctor and nurse
Miki and Kevin you are so good together. Love your bonding moments. Thanks for all you do guys! Real heroes!👊
Well, Seattle vibe itself could make you fell down because of the raining and other stuff. And its even worse during the pandemic. I hope you can hope around the city finding a good food / other activities. Highly recommend university village for hanging around. ❤️
I thought you were breaking up...
Btw ! You’re very pretty, you should be modeling ! ✌️
2:20 "Babe, look at those veins "
this is such a nurse thing ! XD
You’ve been dealing so well with moving to another city not knowing a lot of people and really just having to lean on each other during a pandemic!! It’s totally normal to feel how you’ve been especially with all your other responsibilities that sometimes you can feel like you don’t have the time to address some issues or make positive changes. Really so happy and proud for you for taking small initiatives and trying to do something different to go through the tough days! I feel the same and seeing life unfiltered vlogs just help me relate to you but also see my situation in another perspective!! Thanks so much Miki and Kev and here’s to a better February 💕💕
Though I am not working in the same field as you, your life is too relatable to mine. And I feel releived that, there are people out there rowing the same boat. Got a bit of motivation watching this. Take care :)
damn what a nice coincidence. i've been feeling super down and burnt out this month too. kinda nice to know someone is also randomly going through this too.
i was literally binging your videos just now. love you both sm take all the time y’all need to reconvene. gotta take care of yourself to take care of others :))
I love your honesty
I think it's sometimes okay to complain about life because it's so hard. 😕
When I first moved to seattle I had no friends and it was me and my fiancé. I only made friends when I went back to school for nursing. It’s crazy hard to make friends. oh and the seattle freeze is a thing.
I found you while doing research on the Covid vaccine before getting my first dose and honestly your video gave me the confidence to get mine and I have been following you guys ever since and been watching old videos as well.... 😊❤️ love ur channel...... enjoy ur vacation.... much needed and deserving 🍾😍
Girl don’t put your toothbrush to charge on the toilet 😂 But I hope you and Kev get a good break!
Yes you do need a break. Thank you, thank you, for all that you do. I just started watching your videos. Very nice. Yes please take good care of yourself. Both of you take care of everyone else so much, it is time to be good to yourselves. Relax if you can . Too bad the spa’s are probably not open. That would be great for both of you to pamper yourselves physically and emotionally. 🙏🌹
Y'all are so in love and it's beautiful to watch 😍
I really admire you both. Reminds me of myself when I was at your age, working to help out at home, only difference is that I only worked during the day, office work. Will be keeping you both in my prayers. 🙏🏼😍🥰😘🌺💕❤️💐❤️💕💕💕
Miki, you are not alone ❤️ I can empathize with the “funk” you are doing through. I’m a nurse as well, and used to work nights (oh sis, I can totally relate). Hawaii could use more great nurses and residents! 🌺☀️😉
Many people go through the whole nursing "burnout" cycle. Yet it still continues.
Aloha. Thank you for all of your hard work, especially at this time. I am also in healthcare (in sleep medicine) as well as living in Washington state. Oddly we as healthcare workers do not get the needed hours of sleep due to odd sleep hours. In addition, our sunlight in the PNW is decreased in the winter season - causing a cycle of depression, lacking V D, and the list goes on. The only way I can survive in a healthy state is snowboarding. I get my needed fresh air and oddly enough, I also get my sunlight up on the mountains. You both ought to try snowboarding or snowshoeing. So many people out at Crystal Mountain and all the ski resorts. I feel its the place we all socialize with our masks on, laughing and getting our needed exercise. Maybe on your next vlog, film an outdoor activity in snow of some sort. There is even cross country skiing and tubing at the Summit of Snoqualmie. Playing outside is a must, especially for us healthcare workers...
LOOL when miki pointed out kevin's veins
i totally felt that when you said it’s hard to make new girlfriends in a new city. i moved to seattle 2years ago, but i have struggled a lot to find genuine friends that I could share everything with. the seattle freeze is rough! thanks for sharing. i’ve also been in a rut. i hope things get better.
Oh you use roborock too! ❤❤❤ i love it plus their brand ambassador is so handsome 🤣
I found you while looking for vaccine videos of people's experiences. I'm getting it soon and I'm super anxious about it.
i think i first saw your tik toks on instagram?! but i just want to say i love your content, you and kevin are one of my favourite couples on youtube and i think you’re an amazing human being! watched some of your more serious videos and i loved how transparent and vulnerable you were with your subscribers but i also really appreciate how high energy, enthusiastic and fun your videos are especially in these hard times...hope you guys have an amazing break! 💗
You should buy nrf2 and nrf1 supplements from lifevantage. It helps with oxidative stress and inflammation in your body. Their all natural too so it’ll really help with soreness and energy especially
Getting burnt out from work is tough. Whether it's the work load or hours. It's taken me weeks to recover, once work load slows to a reasonable pace.
Winter in the PNW has changed in the last few years. There's actually sun between Nov to Feb now; not just constant gray skies & drizzle.
You guys will make it! I totally feel you and it's totally not your problem, you are not a boring adult at all! Send some love & hugs to you!!
In a strange way it kind of makes me feel better to see you guys acknowledging that things kind of suck lately and just trying to be ok with it. Makes me feel like I have someone/something to relate to (of course don't want you guys to struggle but you know what I mean). Anyway, love your content!
You two look exhausted! I'm a healthcare worker too so I understand. Must be difficult not having the same shifts but I'm so happy you found your ride or die! Just hang in there you two! You guys can go back to Cali anytime or go anywhere really! What matters is who you're taking with you on your life adventures & I believe you two found each other at a perfect time
Maybe if you guys get some time to explore Seattle together...would be nice! A change of environment can help or learning to turn on "fun time" and "turn off" healthcare worker you xD
"Life kinda sucks" lowkey felt that on a personal level but on an all serious note hope you guys are doing OK. take a break as long as you need. everyone deserves that self care day. sending lots of love
idk about the states but in Canada i kinda feel bad for the doctors because at night everyone is so cranky. A few years ago my granny fell and cracked her head open and we were there for 13 hours waiting for her to get stitches. we just saw so many people get mad at the nurses because the system needed to be updated, because the wait was so long etc. but everyone is just doing their job and doing their best
Thank you both and sending love and light!
Yes sure Nurses needs a break
Have you ever tried bumble BFF? I’m like you in that I don’t like the shallow friendships but bumble BFF helped me a ton when I moved to a new city and I’m a generally shy, introverted person.
Oddly enough I've found gloomy days to be my favorite for taking my bicycle for a ride. I highly recommend it!
I'm so happy you guys are making it a priority to take a break! It's so important and I think with how hustle culture is, especially in the medical field, we neglect our mental and emotional needs and prioritize getting work done more often than not. Love y'all and I hope you're having a great break 🥰💕
Don’t ever break up please!!!! You two are my favourite couple on social media. You are so so so cute together but for some reason it’s not cringe like other couples. Enjoy your time off together
I feel you, you guys need to take a break and spend time with one another. Have fun!!
Keep up the excellent work, and thank you for sharing with us all.
It’s fine I also need a break from school sometimes and what I want to do in the future my mom doesn’t want me to do it’s hard because I want her to be happy and I want to be happy as well but everything I want to do she disagrees and I feel like she is going to force me to do something!
You guys are awesome . Keep your heads up this is only temporary, just like our lives.
Tbh, I don't remember how I found your content. Maybe Instagram or tik tok? But i've been subscribed for a while now I think since the beginning of quarantine. Ooo is Kevin a neurosurgery resident. I'm guessing surgery for sure 👀but aw I hope your little getaway does help you two! I hope you have/had fun
I don't know how into hiking you are, but there's always some hiking group on facebook in the pnw. I recommend finding one to make new friends.
Miki, try going one day at a time, don’t overthink about your situation, I know easier said than done but I learned the hard way to do this and it’s helped me,
This was such a real video thank you, my bf and I who moved in together not too long ago were feeling the same thing, I was getting worried. I think it’s good to acknowledge the feelings. We both try to do our best to make special moments out of time we have.
Ah, Miki!! I totally relate with you 100% about preferring intimate friendships over shallow friendships. I wish I could also make more friends during this pandemic and connect with more people in so many ways. I hope for the future for us and that great things will come over time! ^_^
Rest. You guys deserve it. 💛
Thanks you for the podcast recommendation :))) 👍
I'm a med student & I know I shouldn't be looking for a boyfriend but you guys make me feel so single imma cry 😭😭
Awww, can understand how you feel, but remember good things come to those who wait. You wouldn't want to rush into a relationship just for the sake of having a boyfriend, and then sadly 😔 facing dire consequences.
I don't understand why I'm so attached to your videos. Now as i bingewatch your videos i found out🙂 you're an introvert person like me. You like to have only close few friends. You are not up for those shallow relationships. These are exactly me! 😊
I don't regret this popped up on my recommended videos. I subd and became a fan. Thank you! :)
Take care during this tough and stressful covid-19 period. All the best - Cheers from Singapore
I have that same nasa sweater !!😂❤️❤️❤️ also take all the time you need 🥰🥰
Awww so glad you guys can finally get a break and spend time with each other!! Get lots of rest!!!!! Also really loved how real this video was. My moms a nurse too (20 years and counting!) and I can tell she gets burnt out sometimes. I know it can be exhausting but you (Kevin too:)) can do it!
I have huge respect for you! You guys deserve endless vacations!
