  • Hello, friends!
    This video has a bit of everything. I spent last week alone (very strictly isolating in preparation for the birth of my best-friend's baby) and honestly, it was really difficult. However, by the time the weekend rolled around, I was determined to enjoy my alone time. I think a lot of this determination actually came from each of you-- I wanted to make something really valuable for you. Knowing that I have this community helps me feel much less alone, even when I am alone. You guys continually show up for me and so, I was able to show up for you ❤️
    Thank you, thank you, thank you for always being here! I hope you enjoy the reading, drawing, long chats, and sourdough making!
    Big hugs,
    Mo

    as a psychology major, i would just like to say talking about your feelings and struggles with us, or heart to heart's, is so tremendously good for your mental health. you're not only writing about them in your journals, and doing introflections - looking back and seeing how much you've grown, how small and temporary your insecurities were - you're also sharing them all with us. that takes a lot of strength. thank you for being vulnerable with us! i know you've helped a lot of people in giving them this calming, encouraging space through these tough times. keep being you, Mo! we're all going to be okay.
    love from rainy Washington x

You always share from a place of honesty and hope. You have truly inspired me to have the courage to identify my dreams and begin taking steps towards them. I do feel afraid but ready to surrender. 😊 I'm so so glad that you followed your heart to creating your RUclips channel! 💫 Also, I do completely relate to the frustration and loneliness of this time. I feel like I've been in a cocoon for too long and I just want to break free and stretch my wings. 🦋 I smiled through this whole vlog!

    Morgan, thank you so much for sharing those things from your journal. Over the past year I've really looked up to you as you grow in your creative endeavors and seem to be achieving all of your dreams. Most of my life goals have been put on hold this year, and as I'm in a season of waiting it's easy to get discouraged about the direction of my life. It made me feel so comforted and validated to know that you experienced a lot of the same things that I'm feeling now. I think you're really brave for opening up about that through this platform.

    In this moment life is not easy for someone. For as a nurse I kept my mind focus on work during one years, I gave my mind, my brain, my body for people, to help, to take care of people and of my family. I forgot myself, and my stress my insecurities my dificulties during the last past years. But now, one year later, certainly I proud of my action, I proud of my friends, proud of my team, I just tired. My mind is like broken, and all the bad things that fight during my life come back again, and again. Stress, boulimia, loose my confidence, problems with my body and I. I write in journal too and it's very helpful, I leave in all the bad and darks ideas and sensations.
    I would like to thank you morgan, because during this years your presence, your happiness, your cozyness (I don't know if this word exist), your smile, your kindness was for me so helpful. Thank you

    Hi Morgan! This video was lovely as always. 😊 Your story about post-education uncertainty resonates so strongly with me. It's taken me a year after finishing my Master's to find a full time job that I feel confident in. It was a very rocky year and I also had to depend heavily on my wonderful partner for support. Things seem to be getting brighter now though and I know that the rough patch I went through has toughened me up in a way! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I'm so glad you're fulfilling your dreams 💕

  • @xiaofeimu4662
    @xiaofeimu4662 3 года назад +2

    Mo, thanks for being so honest and bare about your feelings. As always love your sharing. I completely understand the sort of ‘stuck’ feeling for which I sometimes tried to find things that I love and feel passionate about and to use them as a channel switcher or emotional way-out like your channel. Sometime it works, but sometimes no matter how hard I try, back in there i just feel the emotion unremovable. Like a dark spot paint accidentally on the white paper and I was just using a lot of different colour to cover it up and to make it less obvious however when I take a step back and look at it, it’s still there and getting more complicated for which I can hardly name it.

    I love how natural and sincere you are😊. You always share with us your feelings, wheter they are positive or negative and I really appreciate that honesty. It's not common in social networking and, from my point of view, it ends up being a negative aspect of this screen-based world, it promotes toxic positivity and it reflects an unrealistic image. That's why I identify myself with your channel and your videos. We all have ups and downs, and many of us struggle with anxiety disorders or other problems, and just a few are willing to open up and have a real talk on how they feel. Thank you sooooo much for your chats. You are so brave to share your real feelings🧡.

    I find peace in your videos and new found book love ( I’m reading Wildwood too) and am over the current situation but for different reasons to most here. Although I wouldn’t choose to locked down......even though a couple of months at home sounds divine. As a front line worker life is also stressful, I appreciate I’m being paid while so many aren’t working but I’m also putting myself and my family’s health at risk, so many people have no patience and can be very rude, shopping for food is a stress. It already was travelling two hours to a food store but now waiting in line etc takes a whole day rather than most of one, to go to one or two stores. My family are in England so I can’t visit and they are getting cabin fever on full lockdown since god knows when. Last September. Thank goodness for people like you.........and the stack of books you made me buy😂😂

    I’m watching (3rd time this week) as I sit here and hem pants for a lateral job interview I have soon. It’s like I’m hearing this for the first time (really sinking in) 28 mins in, you share w/us when you weren’t happy at a job and were trying get full time and were being hard on yourself...hit me like I ton of bricks. Currently I’m going through something very similar. I feel like your talking to me and I’m taking it as a sign to persevere. I watch your videos as they uplift me and I always tell myself I can have happiness w/a career like the others who inspire me. However it seems like a lifetime away because I want to shift from one career into the arts as that was always my dream during a time of crisis (due to issues from pandemic). Maybe one day I’ll be a full time art creator similar to your transition. Thanks for sharing a piece from your past when you were struggling. I feel less alone. 🌞

    Morgan, this has been one of my favorite vlogs of yours so far! And the fact that you watch Gilmore Girls makes me so happy. I’ve been watching that show since I was a sophomore in high school and I’m now a sophomore in college and am just as in love with it. It’s my go to comfort show, I couldn’t live without it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the pandemic and feeling stuck, I completely understand how you feel, and you are not alone! 💛

I truly appreciate your vulnerability in telling us about your struggles. As a recent college graduate, I also feel stuck in time. I wish I had more people prepare me for what post-college life is actually like; although the pandemic has made it unique.

    Hi Morgan, this vlog was incredible. When you read the journal entry I started tearing up, I’m at a similar point in my life right now and it’s nice hearing that everything will be okay. Everything is especially so hard with the pandemic and I’ll be graduating soon having no clue what I want to do and realizing grades aren’t the best measure of self worth. You’re incredibly inspiring and thank you for being so real, much love ❤️

    I read the Bear and the Nightingale in December. I enjoyed it but I find with Russian literature and possibly Greek, there are always so many characters! It can be hard to follow if you’re not entirely focused. But it was a nice book. Really enjoyed this vlog. I know exactly how you’re feeling. This will all end eventually. 🤍

    Hola Morgan! There is always something to do when you are alone. Reading is so therapeutic, relaxing your mind without a care for the world. Exploring the country, interacting with nature is another way to relax and be in tune without yourself. Morgan, you could never be along. As long as you have your partner, your dog, your beautiful home, and of course us. I know how you feel about sharing time with your friends/family. I am going through the same thing, like many of us. I live in New York City, which is a little tougher because it is hard to social distance. All we can do is do the things we enjoy while at home or outside. I would love having a nice home, like yours. I need space and being able to at least do walks and interact with nature is my goal. Morgan, continue to read your favorite books, do your yoga and meditation to keep your mind relaxed. I love your videos. Watching your videos helps me relaxed and not worry about the "doggie-dog" world out there. It alleviates stress. Think about the fact that the lock down and this pandemic won't last forever. We must cherish every positive moment that we can. A psychologist mentioned that we must bring all the positive things in the past forward and leave the negative ones behind. You are my number one fan!!! Keep smiling.

    Yes! Self-care is so important - always has been but especially during this time, we need it more than ever! Taking care of yourself is also productive because when you feel good and energized, you can get things done better and more efficiently than when you're feeling down and drained. 💞 Also: I LOVE Gilmore Girls. I have watched the whole show like 5 times already. It's my comfort show and it makes me happy that it brings you comfort too! xx

    Thank you so much for sharing! (You should totally write a book about this stuff!) Your story has encouraged me to continue in my decision to not finish college and instead pursue my career in other ways. I have definitely found that there is so much pressure to go through college when all that happens is a waste of time and money. The real world rarely looks at your degree unless you are in STEM or medical.
