    Hey idk how often you check your comments or if you'll even get to this. But I'm pulling an all nighter for a midterm tomorrow that I'm super stressed about, I mean you know, same old school stuff that everybody goes through. And in a fit of senseless loss and search for direction in my life i googled something like "I feel like I'm gonna fail this exam and every course ever how do i deal with this" and one of your videos came up. I watched like 7 of your vids in a row (I know, exam tomorrow and everything) and your vibe and just the way you think and the way you get everything across just uplifted me so much dude. Like, we always think we're alone out here struggling, especially when we're surrounded with people who are doing well. Just watching that video about how to deal with failing a course and how to do better, and reading all these comments about people who failed or came close to failing makes us feel so okay. I've been struggling with mental illness all my life. I have ADD, anxiety disorder, insomnia, I went through a depression for like 3 years and sometimes experience relapses, and most of all that is genetic dude like I was born with this stuff. Expectations are always so high and like, the world can be so ugly.
    Idc how creepy or weird I'm sounding right now because dude you really helped me get out of a dark spot I've been in, on and off for like a month straight. And before this gets way too long basically what I'm thinking rn is I wish I had a friend like you.

  • @cvanwyk
    @cvanwyk 6 лет назад +4

    I agree 150% with this. I'm constantly trying to strike the balance between creating good content for my readers and silencing the voice in my head that says I should be doing more, that no one cares that I'm tired, that I should constantly be killing myself to do the most. And I really respect you as an artist for taking a stand and saying this. So many of us take years to realise that it's okay not to be on all the time. So shout out to you ❤ And I think it proves just how bomb your content is that I still watch and rewatch your old stuff now. Quality over quantity 👌🏼

    Evelyn, I found you from your Say it Loud series and because I was really enjoying it, I thought I'd see what your personal videos were like. Just the same! Witty, funny, charming and as always thoughtful. I agree with your impression that this industry is not sustainable.
    'Crunching' in any industry is not okay, and I'm really glad you're endorsing for a healthier management of work - I know this video is from a while ago, but I'm still glad to know that this is how you feel as crunching really affected me negatively and I advocate against it! Thank you for being so open with us all!

I am thinking of starting a RUclips channel and your example is one I mean to follow. I know I speak for us all when I say, we'd rather have you sporadically with health, peace of mind and oozing with creativity (read: When you feel up to it) than not at all. Don't let our want for you put you in a bad space. True love (which we have for you) means we won't abuse you and put unremitting demands on you. God's peace is wished you Evelyn.

    @LateefahABrown 5 лет назад

    I love this! As someone who is slowly creeping towards 40 y.o., this spoke just as much to how I feel as a content consumer. The same way you take breaks from creating, I take breaks from watching a particular vlogger. It’s not the end of the world to me if I don’t catch every upload, every livestream, every new... whatever... in real time. I’m okay with not discovering a song until it’s 8 months old. I don’t feel obligated to watch entire seasons of a show in one weekend. Etc, etc. I agree we all - both creators and consumers - need to seek healthy balances between our digital and analog lives. So, keep doin’ you, sis. See you somewhere on the internets. ✊🏽

  • @BickylaBiscuit
    @BickylaBiscuit 6 лет назад +48

    This is why you are one of my favourite RUclipsrs & I respect the heckity heck out of you. You don't apologise for how you create your internet space & continue to gift us with shiny honesty. As a chronically ill creator in the small RUclipsr community, I can never keep up with the expectations of mainstream RUclips, let alone the rest of the abled world. It's validating & comforting to see the representation of creators like you who say HELL NO to the super fast culture growing around us. Thank you for being you! so much love from this follower who's been lurking round your channel for many months of Sundays

  • @aarond9563
    @aarond9563 6 лет назад +5

    Our expectation of having entertainment on demand, non-stop, and for free is actually so true, especially for me. If a Yter misses one day of uploading then it actually throws off my day a little and Netflix has made it so that waiting a week for a show is unfathomable. If I'm not getting a 5 second timer going to the next episode at the end of the last I'm actually quite confused.

  • @MetamorphosisRox

    I love that you are talking about this. As a tiny creator, I spend time juggling the ideas that I want to express while feeling guilty if I miss a day.

    Yessss Leos Stand Up!!! Whether it's RUclips or wherever, I would love to continue to support you, because you Do Bring it! And, it's so refreshing to be following someone real in the midst of all the fluff around. We appreciate whatever it is you have to give, but do not overdrain yourself.

    Beautifully explained Evelyn! It took 8 years but I started my channel simply because I enjoyed creating videos. I fell into the trap of creating lack-luster videos (which I was not proud of) simply to pump out content. Creating videos, EDITING THE CLIPS (THIS TAKES SO MUCH TIME OMG) and putting your personal artwork out there is not easy. AT ALL, especially when you everybody is trying to tell you what to do. It can only be done by the few. I was looking for a sign as to which direction to take my channel and this video cleared everything up. Thank you Evelyn. I'll see you out in the internet.

    Respect. I've tried dabbling in instagram & blogging, and while I love both of these things it's insane how often I'm expected to be producing things. I think we'd all be wise to take a good hard look at what our values are when we decide to try our hand at being content creators so we know where to draw the line. It's actually kind of nice to see someone talking about this. Also I caught that beige boyfriend line 😱 Maybe you were joking but it's so true. Anyway, I'll be here to watch what you produce next, whenever that is. Love the slow content concept, I'm hopping on board 🚈

    Love your perspective Evelyn! I prefer your spaced out videos that are always meaningful, or come from a genuine place, explore real topics, humour grounded in everyday experience- to forced content that's being made just to be to posted. You're building an amazing body of work. Every video HITS because it's all real. I love that you call attention to the effort behind these videos.

    I'm so proud of all the progress you've made (the yonce shoutout, various sponsorships, naturally curly, etc.) all while being you. Not cranking out 700 videos a day just to gain more clicks and views even if the quality or content is trash. Not wearing 7 bundles of weave (that's no shade cuz I love a good wig) and cake face because that seems just to be the in thing to do. You're mad relatable and real, so if I have the wait 7 months between videos so be it!

    Evelyn you are funny and loveable enough to post 3 times a year (dont get any ideas lol) and we still aint leaving you. I binge watch your old stuff all the time and die with laughter. Your elusiveness is part of your brand to me....i enjoy it, it seems more authentic - your caribbean cuzzo from Barbados xx

    Yes!! I'm so happy you made this video. And congratulations on prioritizing your health in all of this. I'm glad we don't have a "how RUclips caused the downfall of my life" video from you.
    Thank you for demonstrating what it looks like for a black woman to prioritize herself and her health.
    I am currently in a really stressful job that constantly just wants more and am debating this same thing. Watching this video feels like it gave me the strength to say that no I don't have to live like this.
    Thank you for always being honest and being you!! We love you always!!! Stay healthy :)

    @MorrysnDolling 6 лет назад

    THIS RESONATED WITH ME SO MUCH THO
    I have all of ten active followers, but ALL TEN have made several comments about my year (plus) long hiatus from RUclips.
    And yes, I plan on returning, but I'm not interested in making videos just to have content.
    I tried and I hated it.
    People's opinions on how and when I should come back are annoying AND NOBODY WATCHED MY SHIT, so I could only imagine the pressure you're under.
    Well Cousin, most of us ain't going nowhere, so take your time living your best life, & we'll always be here waiting

    Always girl! It’s your integrity, honesty, consistency (it matches your honesty so you know) and your quality that keeps me (and I’m sure many others) here. I for one will find you where you are on the internets and stay with you patiently until the media angels get the memo and your multi million dollar glow up arrives! Until then! See you in the internet somewhere x

  • @NancyGooGoo
    @NancyGooGoo 6 лет назад +4

    I feel you completely! I've taken a MASSIVE break from my daily Lips of the Day videos because I only did them when I was working. Now that I'm an unemployed person - NOT BY CHOICE, mind you - I only hop on to occasionally say hello and keep the video muscles working somewhat. As for you, though, Evelyn, I just find you 100% pure entertainment and when you break into your Kenyan accent - oh man, that just tickles me to no end! Girl, if I were only your age now I know I'd probably learn so much from you and your ambition. Keep doing you - your core audience is here for you. But, let's be honest - we DO really miss you when you go ghost for months at a time. We need the occasional Evelyn "fix" - LOL!

    This video made sense...I always wonder why youtubers feel the need to explain themselves when they go on hiatus/break or don't put out content for a while. You are a normal human being too,you have a life and you can do whatever you want whenever. But hey what do I know, I'm just a subscriber lol. But I feel you Evelyn. Quality over quantity always. I like 'Digital storyteller' btw that's definitely you

    I resonated so strongly with THIS! I'm in a season where I am learning to only involve myself with the things God is leading me to. The only promise of consistency I've made is to do what He wants me to do promptly (and BOY has that been a game changer)! Your content is amazing so I understand that you need time to go into your creative closet and come out with work that you are proud of. I am here for it!
