Thank you for sharing this and being honest with us and yourself, and for doing what you need to be happy. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we are excited to see what you do next, whatever it may be. You have a wonderful personality and I'll be watching whatever you decide to post ❤
Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. I relate to this a lot and I think we can all relate in some way - especially those who have had plants for a long time. There can be this horrible cycle of "I feel depressed, so my plants are suffering" which becomes "I feel depressed *because* my plants are suffering", and it just feeds into itself. To anyone who is struggling: No one can tell you what you should be doing or how you should be feeling - only you know that for yourself. I had to go at my own pace and get to it when I felt motivated. Sometimes, that motivation didn't come for weeks. But it came back, eventually, and I dealt with it when I felt ready to. And sometimes, it meant throwing something in the trash. Take care of yourself first. (And for the record - I'm here for whatever you put out! I'd love to see gaming videos and anything else, haha. I am also a hobbyist and have tons of different interests. We can't be boxed into just one! You can be Heather Hobbies instead of Heather Hoyas, haha)
So proud of you for sharing how you’re feeling. It’s never easy to become unstuck but you’ve taken the first step to not only help yourself but others. Plants are awesome but only if they are making us happy, if something’s not bringing you joy then sell or donate it to someone that it will make happy. (Also it’s okay to throw away sick & dying plants, we can’t save them all). You’re a creative person, that’s what people care about. Keep doing you and the real ones will stick around 💗
Girl I have hundreds of palettes I haven’t touched in years!!! I have the whole naked pr box thing I’ve literally never used. I just had to have it though. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
I come for the plants i stay for the beautiful personality. I can relate. I don't have a youtube channel.but i have allot of interests too.Other than plants. I cant seem to settle on one.lol
Hey Heather I just want you to know that you are not alone I go through this as well sometimes I feel like caring for my plants, 4 children, still having to cook, clean and everything in between it really gets overwhelming and I end up neglecting myself but feel bad because I haven’t post as well so I try and squeeze a video in but at times I feel like it’s not enough and I need to be more consistent and that puts more pressure on me.🤦🏾♀️ Trust me I get it! Plants have took over my life when I’m into so much more music, photography, hair etc so so many things. So I totally get it post what makes you happy, take a break if you need to, our mental health is important and just know I will still be here watching. Stay true to you! Now I need to take my own advice 😂🙏🏽🥰🌿
I am the sammmmeee way girl! So impulsive. Also a makeup lover. Also started on RUclips doing makeup but that was too much for me at the time and with kids. I started doing macrame in the beginning of the year and I was hooked. Then I stopped lol. Also been overwhelmed with my plants lately. So many I just don’t want anymore but don’t wanna throw away. I think we would be great friends irl because we have so many of the same interests!!! Also met my husband online playing a computer game. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm here to stay!! I'm excited to see where this channel goes! I know I said it in my last comment, but you need to make you happy. There are tons of other content creators that might have "plant" channels, but do other things... wildfern does a vlog that's not plant related, also rachel aust does some plant, but mostly lifestyle content. iHasCupquake has a video game channel, but does crafting activities too. These are just a few people that I follow and honestly I love the variety that those channels provide. You might even gain a ton more followers with this type of channel. People will click and watch to the specific subject title, and will potentially stick around because there is now a connection to you. I know I don't actually know you, but to me you seem genuine, sweet and real. That's what will have them coming back! Onward young lady, to new and exciting things!
Yup , been dealing with clinical depression my whole life after 15 years old . For people who don’t understand I’m so glad you don’t , we need to talk more about this . Tfs prayers for all of us who suffer .We really need help getting help because like we can’t water a plant we can’t make that call to the dr either ! I’m here for whatever life brings you ✌️
I am so proud of you Heather 👏 You are a warrior honey as are we all, and every warrior fights battle some the same, so similar and some completely different 🤗 What makes us grow are these battles, but when you are in the middle of a personal war it can feel hopeless, draining and exhausting. To get through these battles and win the war it takes time, self care, support and most of all re-evaluation of what causes us to feel weak, stressed an anxious. Doing this is yet another fight, but damm it girl what you are doing is giving you the strength to fight. Realising you need help and that things have to change is huge! You are so strong, more than you probably currently realise, but you are and the fact you chose to go public with your battle to help even one soul shows also amazing courage, take comfort in ppl like me who watch your channel for you (of course we came for the plants, but we stayed for you !!) Just know you have so many ppl out here in the social media suburbs, and i won't tell you to just brush off the trolls, bullies or insensitive twits because i know in a room filled with ppl who care and encourage, it always seems like the one being mean is always the loudest, sadly and this is because we have been conditioned to just 'brush it off' or 'deal with it quietly ' well FU(£ NO !! You, me and the rest of humanity do not deserve it and should not ignore it, as it will still cause pain...if someone chooses publicly to bully, harrass or cause you difficulty in your internal fight/journey, then call them out, these ppl are cowards and don't deserve the respect and care you show your subs, members etc...and you only deserve support, care and empathy and yes of course sometimes we all need to be held to account for a mistake or if someone has a differing opinion on a view or video content thats fine as long as its done with respect and in a adult and constructive manner!! All i really wanted to say lol before i went off on a rant was, put your wellbeing first, make the videos that bring you joy. The ppl who really care will stay for you, as for the ones who may leave...they will soon be replaced by ppl interested in your new content. You will win this and any other battles that are ahead...because yes you guessed it girl...YOU ARE A WARRIOR and we all send you lots of love and we support you Heather ❤ Please take some time for your mental and physical wellbeing, you owe no one online a damm thing. * Remember ppl RUclipsrs are people too, you do not own them and you do not have the right to demand a damm thing, this girl is a sweetheart you will not be a bully in these comments, because if Heather isnt in the right place yet to call you out, them i am sure I'm not alone in saying this you will be (respectfully of course!!) Called out, so keep your negativity and BS to yourself, please. Thank you * Love and hugs Heather 🤗🥰
Thank you for being vulnerable to say this out loud! You are so inspiring ☺️! I'm the same way I can't do the camera thing. But seriously do what makes you feel good and what you enjoy doing. ❤️ I'll be here to see what comes next in your journey! 👏🏼
Omg, i am going through the same thing and also get obsessive! I went through the makeup guru obsession, then animal crossing, then plants! Please update us on this road, relatable!
So happy you made this video! You are incredible and have so much worth outside of your houseplants❤️ thank you for your honesty, take your time to heal and rekindle your passions. I also was obsessed with makeup and have too much of it now, and I did the same with plants. I’m just trying to take it one day at a time and accept myself for what I am interested in that day.
I can totally relate to plants being overwhelming and letting them decline because it just seems like too much. I’m honestly here because you seem like a really nice person and have an amazing laugh ❤️ plants or no plants I’ll be here!
Focus on what makes you happy! Hobbies should be enjoyable, and not feel like a chore. I go hard on things just like you described, and float between many hobbies depending on how I feel. Don't box yourself in. I like watching all types of videos and really enjoy following the creators, not just the content they put out.
Thank you for sharing. I totally hear and understand you. I think we are searching for hobbies that fulfill us. We need to realize that happiness and fulfillment comes from our heart. I would love to watch anything you put out. Make this channel what YOU want.
I switched entirely to aquarium plants because of more potential for automation. I grow some pothos out the back of the tank but that is as far as my house plant keeping goes. The plants help filter and oxygenate the water so they give me joy in that way and because of that, I see them as more appealing.
Thanks for doing this. I really did enjoy watching your win on Fortnite on the last video. I would enjoy watching other content of yours on one channel. I look forward to getting to know you other than plants 💚
I think anything that is hobby and you turn it into a job can become stressful, I been collecting for more then 6yrs and for the first time I worked at a nursery last yr and it lower my love for plants but when i was done I was all about my plants again.
Omg girl I remember the first night we met after having a few drinks we bonded over going through your make-up collection!! Also good for you to not allowing people to put you in a box , like you said you have a huge and great personality and should do what makes you happy always!! ❤️❤️
Like I’ve said you are more than plants! I am here for for all the hobbies! I also have tons of them. I say Rebrand!!! Make the content that you want to make! I’m excited to see you grow! I also was hit by the makeup hard! I have so many pallets that are probably expired and need to be thrown out but I can’t 😂 I live to cross stitch and I like to make cold process soap.
Yep was there last year. And several died. And I didn't care. The relationship with me and my plants comes and goes. I have given alot away. I don't do lights tents hydro and still was overwhelmed. Three years got my first one at my mothers funeral who didn't have plants. And i am turning the corner for sure. YOU are not alone! Go vlog. Take us shopping or take us to a coffee shop. Look God-loving Emma Chamberlain When she was still living with her mom she put a video up and walked away and people still watched it it's just Put up whatever you feel like it doing. Don't lock down to anything. We will watch it. 😍❤😍❤.
I understand girl I came for the plants but I am staying because you are funny and kind and plants do get to be to much for us and I can’t what to see what Else of content that you come out with so excited girl I am going to stay what ever your decisions is 😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your truths. I want to take a minute to tell you that you can give yourself permission to do or not do any content you want to do. I'm sure you feel something like an obligation to your followers but this is YOUR channel and regardless what your content is, your community will find you. You may lose plant people but you'll gain those supporting you were you are. You cannot pour from an empty cup, love. ❤️
If you do not depend on this for a living, we all do things we do not enjoy. You don't need permission from anyone you do you. I watch plant videos for the plants and enjoyed your channel and I am sure you will succeed whatever you do. 💗
Thank you for being honest and just human! I would watch other content from you :) just not into gaming so much. You should definitely do more of makes you happy. I do understand that money is a thing though. The book "The why are you here cafe" has a really good take on it. It's only two hours in Audio. Maybe check it out :)
You need to do what makes you happy on your channel because if it makes you feel stuck or unhappy. it shows on your videos and creates stress for you that is not worth it. Your subscribers are going to need to grow with you or their not here for the right reasons. I like the plant content but it doesn't need to be your only content. At the end of ths day it is your channel. I watch your videos because i do enjoy plant content and would still watch if you chose to do other videos because there is more facets to people's personalities than just plants.
Thank you for sharing this and being honest with us and yourself, and for doing what you need to be happy. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we are excited to see what you do next, whatever it may be. You have a wonderful personality and I'll be watching whatever you decide to post ❤
This has me thinking of Becca's recent Burnout video. Totally relatable. I'm unloading some plants soon to relieve some plant care stress.
Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. I relate to this a lot and I think we can all relate in some way - especially those who have had plants for a long time.

Girl I have hundreds of palettes I haven’t touched in years!!! I have the whole naked pr box thing I’ve literally never used. I just had to have it though. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
I'm a newer subscriber, and it's your personality that keeps me watching. Hang in there dear. : ) I know there's no overnight fix for mental health.
Praying for you girl!
Your honesty is awesome 🥰
I come for the plants i stay for the beautiful personality. I can relate. I don't have a youtube channel.but i have allot of interests too.Other than plants. I cant seem to settle on one.lol
Sometimes I get so entranced by a new hobby that I forget that I like other things too
Hey Heather I just want you to know that you are not alone I go through this as well sometimes I feel like caring for my plants, 4 children, still having to cook, clean and everything in between it really gets overwhelming and I end up neglecting myself but feel bad because I haven’t post as well so I try and squeeze a video in but at times I feel like it’s not enough and I need to be more consistent and that puts more pressure on me.🤦🏾♀️ Trust me I get it!
