So excited to take you on this journey :')
+ VANCOUVER FRIENDS!! I'd love to organize a group hike or something fun at the end of November. If you're familiar with a trail or any activity you think would be great for a bigger group, please shoot me a DM on Instagram @leahsfieldnotes 🫶
I'd go if you ever came down and visited Portland!! 🫶
I'm also in Vancouver!!! Would love to meet
Yayyyyyy love to meet in Vancouver!!
ahhh, I was in Vancouver until the end of August and I wish I could have stayed longer to do sth like a group hike 😢
so down for a Vancouver meetup, ive been waiting for this!
I am resonating with this video so much because I am also going back to school! I am 61 and retired, but I've always wanted to get more education in horticulture and gardening. I applied for a Master Gardener program here in my town, and I'm so excited to have been accepted. :)) It feels so good to take on a new challenge and exercise my brain, and also hopefully contribute locally to my community. I feel lucky to have this opportunity...gardening, learning the science behind it, and being around other gardeners: a dream come true. So glad you are following your dreams and studying painting. Go Leah! :))
WOW that sounds incredible Jane!! I would love to study something like that in the future! Thanks for making me feel super excited to become 61 :') The learning never stops!
@@leahsfieldnotes💜
Omg, I hope you have a great time at your clases!!!! Good luck!!!
wow! you're such an inspiration!!! I will be 33 in December and really want to apply for arts (and I will try), but honestly I freak out because of my age. I know it's all in my head - but that's the hardest to deal with.
U go gurl😊❤
I'm a psy major, and I recently started double majoring in animation. Studying anything art related was always a dream that I thought was never going to come true. Now that I'm included in a field that's so creative and encouraging towards creating more art, I feel my inspiration and talent grows bigger day by day. I'm happy we both took steps towards our artistic journeys
Omg that’s so beautiful I wanna see the animations you make :’)
I’m sorry to ask because your journey sounds beautiful, but how is your sleep schedule doing?
@@LimeSlice hahHAHAHh It's not the best honestly. Having 13 classes at the same semester is not easy but I enjoy what I'm doing so it's fine. I always remind myself that I don't have to push myself if its too much, and it has been going good by far. I do miss waking up without an alarm sound tho :,)
I'm a 2D animator! If u need tips, don't hesitate to reach out! ❤
@@zoeonderweegs6556 thank youu!!!
This is perfect timing! I'm turning 26 next week and I've been contemplating biting the bullet of pursuing my dream of going to art school. I'm not really into 'signs' but this felt like an oddly specific one ✨
wahhhh TOO SPECIFIC lol you should totally do it! I’m starting off with continuing education classes so it’s a great way to dip your toes in!
I'm turning 26 next spring and hoping to start art school next fall! you should totally do it!!
I'm 26 and few months ago I finally decided to change a career path, so now I study illustration) Goog luck everyone!
I'm 24 years old, I'm just finishing my bachelor's degree and next year at the age of 25 I want to follow my dreams and start acting school! Sometimes I am overthinking it that maybe it's too late, maybe I am delusional but people like you inspire me to keep going and do what I want. Thanks!
WOW!!! That is SO COOL!!! I would love to experience acting classes one day 🤩 pls keep me updated I’m so excited for u!
so cool!!!
You go this ! It’s never too late !
I'm under age of 18, regardless that I'm still a child, i find these videos so calming and relaxing! they give me so much motivation to life and to keep going no matter what. Thank you for helping me grow courage for my future art school!!
I'm glad you're going back for something you love! I am 31 and currently going back to school to become a Neuropsychologist (so I'm going for my PHD). It's always been my dream to help others and study psychology and how the brain works because I suffered so much from mental health when I was younger (traumatic childhood) having Autism and OCD and struggling with it inspired and motivated me to give back to the world and help others who suffer. You're never too old to chase after your dreams, we optimistically have about 95-100 years on this planet, why not use those years to build a life you love and will enjoy? You can go back to school in your 60s, why not? What's stopping you? We have one chance, one opportunity at life on this planet, why not use it wisely? Wish you the best of luck and always enjoy your videos.
I love this comment so much!! Good luck with your studies, I know you'll be a wonderful help for the people you work with :-)
Absolutely! Couldn’t of said it better myself. Wishing you all the best in your studies! You’re doing to do such amazing things 🫶🫶🫶
seriously so inspring to see ppl in their mid-20's biting those bullets and pursuing passions. :'-) also started taking classes at my local college this semester bc I miss learning and my early pipe dream was to be photographer. i feel like we get told that our early 20s are when things r supposed to rlly happen for us, but bc of covid a lot of us in our mid-20s had to pivot so much (from our dreams, relationships, etc.) and idk I personally also just felt so lost for the past 3 years. finally being intentional w something I love has rlly changed there last half of this yr for the better. rlly encouraging to see u get into painting again. good luck leah!!! excited to see ur art!!! besos
Oh I feel u! Graduating at the start of covid, I still feel like I’m 23 at times lol definitely still in the process of figuring things out but SO insanely grateful to be on this journey together 🫶
Wow I resonate with this so much!! I’m 27 now coming out of COVID and I definitely also felt so lost lately and like I haven’t explored or experimented as much as I wished.
I’m planning on being an illustration and bio double major at a really difficult to get in uni, but honestly I have only ever been able to imagine myself in an art career. This video is so inspiring and comforting, to see another go through the struggles of art.
Good for you Leah ! I’m in my 4th year at OCAD U and sometimes feel insecure about being 26 and having not completed an undergrad. But seeing this video and feeling exited for you has reminded me it is nothing to feel insecure about, and I should in fact be happy and exited for myself the way I am for you ! Much love
💕💕💕
There’s no rush! I’m 28 and still undergrad. We all have our own pace and when it comes to learning, it’s better to not rush it 💓
@@melnatalks 💗
Omg absolutely! If I’m in Toronto in May I’ll come to your grad show🫶
I'm so proud of you! I've been a silent watcher for years and I'm so happy to see how far you've come and how much you've grown 💗 As the pressure of being successful as quickly as possible sets on the younger generation, your videos bring me comfort and happiness- to know that there is life outside of corporate offices and exams, to know that it's okay to take time and figure out who you are, to take time to grow. I'm eternally grateful, never stop! ❤️❤️
Awww thank you so much :’) appreciate you 🫶🤍
im 21 and chemistry graduate. currently preparing for a second bachelor in finance, good luck everyone ❤
I'm a physics major, but I'm also interested in animation or art, but I don't have the confidence to double major. Your video gives me more courage and ideas. Thank you for sharing your peaceful life experience and being an inspiration on how to live a fulfilling life.
im turning 26 next spring and looking to do art school in Vienna next fall so it was so exciting and reaffirming to see someone in the same position! best of luck, you got this!
WOW!!! Can I come visit ur art school 😍 Vienna is such a beautiful city :’)
@@leahsfieldnotesif I get in I'll dm you lol! 🤞
Leah this is wild i'm also a Chinese-Canadian GTA (Mississauga) girlie currently in Vancouver for my first year of uni and watching your videos gives me so much hope for the future haha (alsooo if you're still around / looking for local friends....)
Omg!!! Hi fellow lakeshore west girliepop!! Shoot me a dm! I wanna plan something for all the Vancouver viewers soon 🤍 maybe an outdoorsy hike or something
@@leahsfieldnotesMe too!! Also a Chinese-Canadian from Vancouver here currently in NYC studying art!! I’m in my second year at uni and will be back to Van during Christmas Ahhhhhhhh you are my big big inspiration girl🥰🥰 mind me asking where that sharing farm is? Would love to visit one day it’s so therapeutic!!
you and jusuf both going back to school is bringing me so much joy
Yes!!! I feel like finding out her and Nae were planning to go back to school last year definitely unconsciously shifted some gears in my brain haha
I am 26, and soon i will be going back to Uni abroad.
This video was a comfort for me when people around me wants to do my job and get settled soon!!
Thank you❤
Leah!!! I'm a portrait painter and let me tell you! for your first try at painting people that was AMAZING!!!! like you draw really well already, what the heck????? you got it girl!
Omg thank you!!!!
I didn't know we were about the same age ! I just turned 27 ;) It's so cool that you are starting classes in what you're passionate about ! I'm in my PhD but I also recently had an interest in digital drawing and I'm planning to take online courses
This video was such perfect timing as I also consider taking classes at my local community college for art (I’ve never studied art formally before) and possibly even pursuing an art therapy degree (shhh you’re the first I’ve told hehe). I absolutely loved your encouraging rabbit calendar and since next year is year of the dragon I’d love to see dragons of different elements (water, fire, earth, etc.) and/or food like buns or tea (with faces of course) :) thank you for existing Leah 🤍
im a sophmore in high school who plans to go to art college, and I'm so excited to see your creative journey continue! the painting looks so good, you're super talented leah ^_^
i’m planning on majoring in art and I feel like it is straining my relationship with it. I hope once I can fully focus on it in college maybe I can rekindle my love for it
im a art student here in brazil and i feel so excited for you! so far it has been a great experience, i hope you enjoy it!!
Whenever I feel low , I watch one of your videos and the fact that you do everything that you want makes mw feel motivated and at peace
I, too, am 26 and contemplating to go to art school. Currently working as a graphic designer but painting has always been my lifelong dream and passion.
i started studying art (bfa) at 25. i always knew i'd do something creative and i often whine about the industry but it was a great experience. art school is a good place and time for exploring your art practice, deciding what you like, deciding which career direction you might take, you also make lifelong friends there. there is a lot of reading and writing, but definitely worth it if you're considering it. you can definitely learn art and be an artist without art school, but it's the privilege of space and time and connections to make and create together.
i start my audio engineering degree at 27, it's been great. It always feels good when you doing what you love to do
Hi Leah, I just started my undergrad program last month and your video give me so much strength knowing I am not alone with the feelings I feel, after all it is a nice thing to start doing something new for yourself
You're willingly trying every art, every activity, every discipline so as to be good at everything. Good luck!
so so so happy to see you pursuing painting!! getting these glimpses into your life is always so magical. i hope you keep it all light and fun and let this journey guide you towards more joy and creativity!!!
Congratulations Leah on this new chapter of life!! Your channel has comforted me through drastic life changes (i.e. finishing school, a breakup, and starting school again) I hope in your pursuit of your childhood dreams you have many successes, and that the challenges to come make you stronger and healthier !!! So much joy in store
thank you for making this video! i'm a mature student as well and sometimes it feels lonely/strange so it's really encouraging to see something like this. congratulations on taking the leap! i think your painting is beautiful :)
3:00 The filming, cinematography and final edit on your sailing video was awesome. It was like... art ! Visually stunning !
AHHH THANK U!!!!!!!
Her video is so so calming!
this was very comforting to watch, Leah! Welcome back to school! wishing you well!!
Love it! It always makes me happy to see people unapologetically pursuing their interests and making space in their lives for what ignites their soul. Thank you for sharing your journey Leah✨
I love you so much oh my days - I just felt a wave of grateful tears swelling up my chest!!! You literally inspire me to follow my dreams, to be a better person, to connect with myself and the world on the deepest of levels. We just moved to a new house, and in the midst of this chaos, it’s so comforting to know I’m still me, I still watch Leah’s videos, everything is still gonna be okay. Thank you for creating ❤️
You could do a cooking calendar, with all your amazing meal recipes!! I felt so hungry for your food after this video! Also, loved the painting
aaa~ im back in school at 27 as well and was so excited to see you in a similar phase because i KNEW you would offer some mad grounded, encouraging perspectives on this new journey
omg so excited for you :')
hehehe just following the keep doodling protocol 🫡
Right now I'm struggling a lot to choose between studying design or visual arts at college, and this video is very inspiring and calming at the same time, showing me that one path, does not exclude the other 💗💗
yes!!
Oh Leah i loved this,seeing you excited about art and new classes, cooking for yourself,seeing you out and about doing errands. You always inspire me so much!!!
I plan on going back to school in my late 20s to pursue something I am actually passionate about while currently looking to work a job I totally hate to earn an income to fund my passion. This is a huge inspiration and its like watching my potential self. This helps me to hang onto that tiny little hope that it is possible. Thank you for this beautiful video Leah!
ahhh I’m rooting for u!! ❤
Leah, you inspire me so much in each of your videos. I had tears in my eyes watching because your videos just feel like a really big warm hug that I’ve been needing :,) I’m so happy you get to take painting classes and I hope it brings a lot of joy and learning to your life
I turned 34 in less than a month and I made the decision in 2022 to go back to school. I’m loving it so much that I’m considering doing an honours year so I can do my masters and maybe a PHD. It’s lovely that we’ve hit this stage where people of all ages are going after passions.
This video is so comforting to watch and at the same time I'm super impressed by you!
You're taking care of your mind and body, eating well, spending time in nature and investing time into the things you love. That's literally all that matters and so inspiring to see.
okay, that one transition where the guy walked past and it changed to the next section of the video was so seamless and beautiful I SEE YOU
your videos are so inspiring and calming!! you encourage me to try things i'm scared of and that makes life so much better and more interesting :))
oooh a new season i’m excited to see your painting skills improve 🤩 this is motivating me to get back to the gym and not let my gym membership waste away 😬
the cinematography & editing in your videos>>>>> insane
girl thank you, i was feeling so anxious and overwhelmed by all my to dos but your video helped me shut them all and focus on the progress ive made with all them instead of negative talk and scarsity mindset, also thanks to your appreciation of the little things that inspired me to do so as well, thank you so much leah wei your a gem
Aww you got this! You’re doing amazing :’) 🤍 proud of u🫶
I love how excited and open you are about life, it’s so beautiful to watch. Also, I think that painting looks amazing, can’t wait to see it finished.
Every time I watch your videos I feel so inspired! You really know what’s important in life, Leah! Thanks for sharing moments of your life!!
Leah, your videos always come to me at the perfect time. I also going back to school at 26 and this resonates with me in a deeper level. You are such an inspiring person! No kidding.
I know a lot of people who share their vlogs but you , you are the coziest
So freaking pumped for your school edition!! Go Leah! 🎨 can’t wait to see your journey unfold. Ohh also how beautiful are community garden spaces 🥹 so much joyyyy 🌸🥬🪱🐌
Feeling so much love for you Leah, you're really inspiring me
Really happy that you’re back🥰 Thank uuu for taking us into your new journey 🪷
the most wholesome vlog i've ever watched
You give me hope, something that I haven’t had in so long I forgot how much I needed it
Thank you Leah, you inspire me and make my heart full❤ never stop being you
I am 21 and i recently changed from med school to engineering. i met lots of younger people who have more idea of what the major contains and more importantly they seem to know more about everything than me but i'm still picking myself up. this video was inspiring because i think we only do live once and we should all go do whatever we want. Its never too late to start a new.
Yesssss i love it!!!! As a 25 year old about to get back into school, im here for it, i support it and i love to see it.
Thank you Leah so much for your videos! They always bring me so much peace, and they are very encouraging. Lately, I have been just so anxious about the future and the uncertainties that come up while being in your early twenties. Thank you for being so amazing and inspiring!
I can't explain how much I love your videos! You motivate me so much, thank you!
your videos are actually so calming I'm in love with every single one❤
Leah, i love ur little corner of the internet!! it has been so lovely to follow u for the last idk 2-3 years and see u change. i admire u and the way u choose to live ur life, it's inspiring
Awww thank u for being a part of this lil corner and making it such a cozy space just by being here :’) I appreciate you so much🤍
I am 13 years old and I have been always excited to watch your videos, i love your vibe and the way your life feels calming despite all the ups and downs, i love you 💕
Aww thank you! That’s so special remembering what it was like to watch RUclipsrs I was excited about when I was 13 :’) I’m honoured!
im so happy for u, leah. 🥺
Your videos are so calming and it makes me so appreciative of nature! Thanks Leah 🥰
I’m really looking forward to your morning and night routines Leah 🥺🥺🥺
Wow! That’s so cool! I recently just decided I wanted to become a physical therapist, Im going back to school for it and everything and I’m 29 years old 😊😊! I’m so proud of you! You got this!
always bringing me peace and calmness 🫶🏻
i’m also returning back to uni after a year’s break (and for the right reasons this time!) it’s so scary but everything worth doing always is :’) oh! and for your 2024 calendar, i think a food theme would be fun! i remember you making a bread zine (?) some time ago and i absolutely love it when you share fun & yummy recipes!
Girl I’m so obsessed w this! I’ve been watching u since I was in hs, now I’m in grad school and it always felt like u were meant for art no matter what u pursued. Best of luckkkkkl
I’m in med school now so its like a nice reminder that u can always pursue the things u love no matter where u are in life
Congrats and happy for you Leah! I would just say beware of how expensive and exploitive a lot of art schools can be, and that a good chunk of graduates struggle to find work in the very field they studied for in school… but you probably have the finances and hell, already made a name for yourself so you should be fine :) Best of luck!! ❤💛
Yess! If you’re planning on going to any school, APPLY FOR AS MANY SCHOLARSHIPS AS YOU CAN!!! even if you only get one or two, not applying will hurt you more than not getting them.
You have such a lovely energy anytime I watch your videos I wanna explore the my local city and also nurture the relationship I have with myself
this is the best birthday present for me! thanks a lot leah ❤
this was so lovely to watch. thank you for this insight leah
i’m starting art school in january & im also 26!! i can’t wait to learn more about what i love!
these ordinary everyday slice-of-life vlogs of yours are my utmost faves - so happy to see you enjoying normal life!
Aww yay! After doing so many travel videos part of me was worried this would be boring but I also love watching slice of life content!
@@leahsfieldnotes omg, far from boring. supa extraordinary, yes, but never ever boring. 🤗
im so inspired!! I've been thinking of going to school next fall and now I feel so inspired to actually do it
The transition at 10:32 is perfect. I almost couldn't believe it I just saw that, I reversed it a couple of times to see it again! Also love the caption of the icecream. The editing details are what really emphasizes the beauty and calm of the video + make it more entertraining
always love your vibe and videos
your vids always bring me so much peace & joy i almost wish i could live in them hahah! it's a nice gentle push to change up some things in my life
Eric’s flat looks like the perfect place to ease into life in Vancouver~ Wishing you lots of luck on your art school journey! Also, if you don’t already know the Hong Kong artist Little Thunder, I think you’d enjoy her paintings and approach to artwork. It’s always worthwhile to challenge yourself and try the things you’ve always wanted to do ❤
Hey! I'm not really sure what I missed but could you maybe tell me who eric is?
@@pandax9930 it was in the onscreen text, she was staying at her friend's apartment, who is out of town :-)
I love when you upload, it feels like Christmas :)
All the yummy yummy meals you make looks absolutely mouthwatering! I hope you can make clips on how you make them! ♥️ looking forward to you and college!
you are an inspiration leah! we love seeing you grow, best of luck!
Aww thank u queen 💗🫶
It's so peaceful to hang out with you 💗
Oh. Wow I just turned 27 this year and have been contemplating going to art school like little me always wanted 😢 I’ll take this as a sign thank you
You’re a very talented artist! You’re also very charismatic, charming & down to earth which makes your videos uplifting to watch 🌸
awww thank you so much, you're too kind! ❤
Leah that was awesome for painting a person for the first time!! So happy that you are doing what you like. It inspires me to keep painting what I have to paint for uni ♥️
Thank you!!!
So happy to see that the adulting series is back! It’s been a while love, love, love your videos! I’m same age as you so it always makes me feel very close to you, I have always wanted to become an artist too (painter especially) sadly I’m on a different path in life right now but I do love what I do. This vidéo encouraged me to think that it’s not late and I can still achieve my dream as a painter one day. Love you leah❤ keep uploading videos.🫶
Yes!! There’s so much time and space to do everything that we desire in this lifetime :’)
Lia, this video brings me so much joy! Thank you.
leah! i am so excited for this new era of your life! im in kelowna and it's just so comforting to see b.c. life portrayed in your style-- it makes me want to make the most out of my days here and live for the small moments. wishing you the best of luck with art school :)
Aww thank u!!! I have one core memory of Kelowna when I used to live in Van and that was when a farm tour guide let me drive the tractor through an apple orchard when I was 8 LOL hope I get to visit again one day!
I LOVE LEAH SO MUCH
It's so calming.
leah i love your videos so much. you're the cutest
When I watch you, I truly feel peace and hope. I think it awakens that creative and courageous side in me. Starting art school made me and the art-loving child inside me very happy. I felt like you were showing me a way. Watching what you do and listening to your experiences really helps me a lot. I hope you become everything you want and happy Leah, i love you 宝贝!! 🥹💗🪄
爱你🥹🫶
