Me at the beginning of the video: "Oh no, she's struggling. Prepare the support train." Me as I listen to Malinda explain why she was gone: "Oh, a positive reason! Now I feel happy and warm and better about the times I've stepped back from things to focus on my writing. Malinda, you are wholesome."
Hello friends. I'm back and I've got more coming. Any suggestions for what I should do? Fun musical ideas? Also I have a special livestream tomorrow on my Patreon where I'll run through ALL THE MUSIC I'm working on! Be the first to hear it :D bit.ly/MKRsupport
Honestly,for me (a person who with this video realised that it's someone who associates youtubers' breaks with something bad(low mental health,for example))It was super nice to see such positive messages on this video💖!
Malinda, girl, take care of yourself. I found you last year through your pun song and then just fell in love with everything you have produced. The puffin song is especially amazing. If you need time to produce more music, go take it. I want you to feel proud of your work and express yourself the way you want to. Your community will be here waiting for your triumphant return.
I'm truly shocked by the 3 people who disliked this video. Malinda put all of her thoughts and feelings into this video, and I don't understand how anyone could dislike that.
For anybody who dislikes this video or any of Malinda’s other videos, “How dare you!” If you get the reference to the wonderful Malinda song that is currently one of my favorites!
Recently, I have discovered, if my toddler has my phone and is flipping through RUclips videos, occasionally his fingers slip and he hits the "dislike" button. So now I attribute most random dislikes to unintentional toddlers.
@@bc6399 I was hoping that Malinda would reply, “But you’ll do”. Just kidding, I just wanted to throw in a reference there. I really appreciate your comment, it made my day. Just wanted to say that before you respond “How dare you!” XD
Malinda. Being someone how suffers from chronic anxiety, I know how you feel. Taking a break can be the most liberating feeling especially when you take that time to better yourself and skills. We will always be here for you. Also can’t wait to hear the new album.
"learning to live with it *this bad*" -- oh my gosh, so true! When I read "anorexia never leaves", I thought they meant it would always be pressing on my mind, dictating every step. Instead, now, fully recovered, the only way it affects me is that I have a mental note that if times get hard or busy to have to actually tell myself "go eat - something, anything, and if you need to reach out and ask someone to help you" is like the only way it affects me. Yes, it is there, a part of my life so I'm cautious to not let myself become disordered again, but not my life, and I'm glad to know that now. 😊
I can promise you, Malinda, that your community’s favourite thing to see on your channel is your happiness. Do what you find fun, what makes you smile, and we will love it. Love you 💕
I hope life gets better, I'm at the moment listening to your love letter album almost everyday and it's been helping me so much through COVID, and I just hope you get better
I get that, but for me it's the opposite! I used to do in person school and I was fine, but completely online is anxiety inducing. I think everybody just has anxiety all the time...no matter what...😭
I agree 100 %! If you don't feel like posting then just do not do it, please don't feel like you are obligated to post! Just do what you love and if you want to share that with us, it's of course very awesome, but if you don't, that's totally OK!
It's simple, really: study up on it, preferably from doctors & epidemiologists not $ubsidized by the US or Chinese govt, and then do what's right for you. You may find that you don't need to do anything: no mask, no distancing, no quarantine. And then don't judge those who also do the studies and handle it differently. And don't get me started on the goons in the county health dept and the governor's office 😠
@@elwoodblues9613 As someone who doesn’t live in America, USA or otherwise, I can assure you that all my information comes from such medical professionals, and it all disagrees with what you’ve said. What you are advocating for puts lives at risk, and has no medical basis.
Well @@Giga-lemesh, if you want to get Fascist about it like some of America's governors are . . . I can tell you that the healthiest people in this country are those who live normally: they're in close proximity with others, they never wear a mask, their kids are in school, they eat in restaurants, they play sports, all that. The ones testing positive for C19 are the ones following the mandates strictly. Same with those in depression, which has ended in suicide far too often. Now that we have a year of hard data & science, the way to handle this is through the health care community, not the political structure. Letting the politicians handle it (and Dr. Fauci is a politician now) has resulted in dangerously strict mandates being forced on entire populations, which is the essence of Fascism. This approach has hurt far more people than C19 ever promised to.
@@elwoodblues9613 tell that to the 500,000 dead Americans. 1/4 or more deaths, *worldwide* have come from this one country alone. Just wear a mask and distance, it’s not hard. I have been doing it for a year at this point. Are you more useless that a teen with chronic pain, Athsma, and many mental health issues? Who would willingly do anything if it meant I would have found out about a close friend’s potentially fatal condition a bit earlier? I don’t know what to tell you other than, apparently so.
@@applepeachbirdduckmaster801 - fake virtue signaling doesn't work when you deliberately use false numbers. You cannot give what you do not have, and that includes the China Flu. Have you noticed that influenza numbers are almost 0 in 2020, and China Flu numbers are as high as flu numbers usually are? Nearly all of the 500,000 deaths are *with* C19, the person had a morbidity that was more the cause of death than C19. Death where C19 was the only reason remains in the very low 5 digits. So you want me to cut off my oxygen flow for these reasons. The CDC notes that 85% of positive cases were from people who do wear a mask most or all the time. Either the masks don't work, the masks are infecting people, or the tests are faulty. I think all three are correct. I figure, the sooner we stop punishing people for being healthy, and the sooner we end the fear propaganda & experiment in Fascism and get back to normal, while protecting people who really are vulnerable to getting sick from this bug (70+ years old with pre-existing conditions), the sooner we'll all be better off. If you want to live in fear, it's your choice.
Okay, honestly I really really needed to hear that bit about anxiety, thank you so much for that. I've been seriously struggling and feeling rather helpless because it feels like my therapy just isn't helping my anxiety at all, I know it takes time and blah blah but seriously hearing that from you really does help. It's so wonderful to see someone taking a break from RUclips to work on something important to them, I'm excited for what's to come!
Hey Malinda. I wanted to thank you. You make me inspired to write my own music. You are awesome, fun, funny and the list could go on. Thank you for being such an awesome creator and I hope you are well during covid.
I've self-consciously laughed at the memes that say "We're not allowed to go to large gatherings or travel? That's fine, I wasn't going to anyway..." because I have always been a hermit type person. But I swear I was on the verge of getting brave, and it felt like a wicked twist of fate that brought all those doors slamming shut at the moment I was about to take flight on social wings. I started penning a tongue in cheek version of one of the epic (and beautiful) shanties going around, called My Anxiety Told Me... if I get it together, I'll post it (on the TikToks). That is, if I don't shut myself down with overthinking and hyper criticality.
@@eclecticdog2k901 it's on the back burner for a while, but I do hope to arrange some kind of clever cover to upload into the TikToks... I am freakylittlehamster if you want to keep apprised of my silliness thus far!
Chloe Adams has a song called "My Doctor Says" about everyone ignoring her when she is trying to tell them she is depressed. Beautiful young woman who like MANY singer/songwriters suffers from Depression. Song title sort of reminded me of your shanty...
You should make a Disney Theme Song Mashup!!!! You're amazing @ singing btw!!!!!! I 😍 ur music and Disney theme songs!!!!!!!! And don't worry if you ever need a break! Lockdown stress and anxiety can get rly high!! I understand girl! Anyway haven't been missing you- still seeing u on TikTok!!!! Well done bout the Ratatouille TikTok thing!!!!!
I love how honest you are about everything... it makes my problems seem more relatable and a little smaller. And I hope you do whatever you need to stay healthy in every way and that things just get better. Sending support. :)
I'm so glad you're back. I've missed you videos. Never apologise for needing space, otherwise you'll never stop. I'm looking forward to the new videos and music in the future. You're so talented and beautiful. Keeping going you amazing person!
I really like the videos where you collaborate with your community in one way or another, whether it's the puffin or alien songs, or my favourite, something like "More With You" but if I'm being honest, I will happily watch anything you upload because you are one of the wonderful positive people I go to to improve my day.
Glad to see you’re okay and semi-mentally stable. I would love to learn more about how to create music, and how to get out of musician’s block. Music has helped me keep my sanity, so it’s kinda special to me now.
I am glad, that you're back again and I wish you all the best for your new Album... Can't wait to hear more of your music 💙✨ I listen to your music everyday and it helps me through the current situation and helps me to replace worries and anxiety with positivity :)
I am glad to see your video and that you are doing so well with the recording of your album and going forward in your medical needs. You do not owe anyone an apology for being away or for being yourself. Your music has helped me so much to keep going and have some laughter after my son passed away. You are more special than you know.
Even when she was talking about her struggles, she made it light, and aimed for a positive vibe. That made her more unique 🤗. Malinda's so awesomeeeee! So excited for your new album, Malinda 🥰.
I'm glad to see you're still making videos! I love your Twisted Translation channel and I only discovered it this weekend. Whatever you do I wish you the best! Peace ✌️😎
I did a lot of theatre in college and as a young graduate. A decade or so later, I was working a regular 40-hour/week job and took on a part in community theatre. It was a lot. So, I can definitely sympathy for your album project. Good luck with everything!
Good to see you again. I can definitely empathise with both the joys of learning and both the frustration and hope to be found in dealing with anxiety. Best wishes and I look forward to hearing you sing again when you're ready.
I like the fact that you dare to show your hardships and tribulations as well as your skilled products and success. Not a very common thing amongst prolific youtubers and artists. I tip my hat for you. Not only for the fact that you’re an excellent musician but very much for showing all of you. Telling about your hardships chip away another piece from that wall of shame surrounding mental health issues. Well done!
Gotta say, I'm catching the vibe. So glad to hear that your anxiety is easier to manage and you can produce your own music (what?!).! I can't wait for your new music!!
The past year has been such a freaking paradox like. My anxiety got so much better because I don't have to interact with the outside world and stress about it, but on the other hand I'm way more stressed about going back into it and having to perform like a "normal" person again. But over all, it gave me so much space to really listen to myself - hey, I figured out my gender!!! - my relationship to my body got more open to progress and I started taking care of myself more. I'm not gonna lie tho, it has been beyond stressful and hard. So, I'm glad you had a chance to better yourself and focus on what you love
Hi? Hello? You don't need to apologize, girl. We love you and I only wish you the best. Glad you're doing great out there! Seriously, 2021 already having so many good things in store musically for me. Can't wait to hear your upcoming songs!
I love watching your google translate videos. Back in January I joined tiktok and you came up on my fyp and have really enjoyed your videos. Keep making the music and videos you love and we’ll keep watching them!
You're just a treasure. Your positive vibe means so much and i'm delighted to hear from you again. And if your recent absence has helped in any way, yay!
Glad you're back! And taking time off for your health (physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, etc) is never a bad thing. Looking forward to hearing the new music!!!
Malinda's stuff is something that you can watch over and over again. Many of the other things I watch, I watch once and then almost never again. But Malinda, her stuff is different. I can watch it soo many times. Take as many breaks as you want, post only once a year, I'll still watch them all.
So excited for an album! Girl! So awesome! Just do you. No worries of you taking a break. Sometimes you just need it. Especially if you're working on something new! Proud of you for that!
I absolutely missed you, but I think it's amazing that you are getting to make music and projects on your own time, as well as learning new things and meeting new artists similar to yourself. Great to hear you are in a good place too.
Congrats on taking the class! Stuff like that is so cool because you get to learn the language of the profession. I'm so happy for you getting to participate more in something you obviously love and enjoy very much (and are very good at!) :)
Your puffin song/video always makes me smile when i'm feeling down and I've missed your amazing creations but i'm happy you grew and learned and is now back! :D
Thanks for sharing with us and I look forward to the new music - particularly for your album. Definitely worth you taking the time to produce things that you feel satisfied with, rather than feel you have to rush just to get something out. Definitely sympathise with the creative process taking time! Oh, and remember that some of us on RUclips like folksy music too 😊
I'm glad to have you back and so happy you're doing better Malinda! This isn't the craziest music idea but i would love to see more covers or just some singing videos that don't have to be anything "crazy"!
Okay, lemme tell you, that you are person i needed in my life for so long, thank you for just existing, and making my days better since a saw you for the first time. Youre so good!
I’ve been listening to your music for a while. I love your style! This video made me subscribe because I can really relate to you when it comes to anxiety, isolation and food allergies. God bless!
That point about anxiety is a really good one... I had a similar experience/realization the first time that I started to feel "better" after getting treatment for anxiety. When you're in it, it can consume you and make you forget that other mental states of being exist. It's difficult, but important, to remember that it's possible to feel better.
We always welcome breaks for creating awesome content! And also, don't you ever feel the need to apologize for taking care of yourself. YOU are much more important than a video or a song.
Welcome back. RUclips takes more time to than I want it to, as well, and your videos are incredibly well produced. Yay you for learning. 🥳 Good for you on managing your anxiety. Good luck with your treatment. 💖
Oh my goodness, I've been behind on Patreon, and I was also so worried at the start of the video that some big bad had happened. I am so relieved and delighted to hear that you've been working on your music, interacting with your communities, and weathering this pandemic. I know everyone else has already said this, but I hope you never feel guilty or having to explain yourself if you ever take a break. Your supporters love you, and we *so* want to make sure you're looking after yourself and that you'll be okay. Thank you for all the joy, warmth, and tender goodness that you bring to this world.
I want to say to you that you are doing great Malinda and that you and your music helps me a lot with my own personal issues. I was having a new kind of panic attack and then imperfect Christmas came on and I calmed down almost immediately. You are one of the two reasons I still walk on this earth today. I know you won't see this but if you do I just want to say thank you so much for helping me when I feel like I am in my lowest point with my mental health. Your are doing amazing things and helping people all over the world. Good job👍
Good to hear you are doing well, take whatever time you need whenever you need it. Completely understand when it comes to trying to do everything yourself with limitations. I do the same thing in game development... I have not figured out how to have two of me yet to get it all done, but when I do will let you know. Looking forward to the album!
Me at the beginning of the video: "Oh no, she's struggling. Prepare the support train."

PREPARE THE SUPPORT TRAIN
ok but why did i also think that
I also thought that, I so ready to say- it’s ok, don’t apologise, take a break. Im happy to hear a more positive reason
I thought the tittle said. “I dabbed and i’m sorry”.
🤣 so sorry
Honestly, knowing her, I wouldn’t be surprised
As she should.
A little dab will do you

I’m SO EXCITED for your album Malinda!! Can’t wait for it to come out!! ❤️
Don’t be sorry I’m just glad that I get to hear your wonderful voice again and I’ve been looking at your Instagram and basically fan Girling over it
Good to see you again. I can definitely empathise with both the joys of learning and both the frustration and hope to be found in dealing with anxiety. Best wishes and I look forward to hearing you sing again when you're ready.
Hey, no one knows what you need better than you. Glad you're back!
I'm glad you've been working on yourself and I'm super excited for the new album!!! :D
I like the fact that you dare to show your hardships and tribulations as well as your skilled products and success. Not a very common thing amongst prolific youtubers and artists. I tip my hat for you. Not only for the fact that you’re an excellent musician but very much for showing all of you. Telling about your hardships chip away another piece from that wall of shame surrounding mental health issues. Well done!
I am glad you're taking time for yourself and making music. I am also looking forward to hearing your new music and seeing your future videos.
No, YOU stay safe!! :-)
Gotta say, I'm catching the vibe. So glad to hear that your anxiety is easier to manage and you can produce your own music (what?!).! I can't wait for your new music!!
The past year has been such a freaking paradox like. My anxiety got so much better because I don't have to interact with the outside world and stress about it, but on the other hand I'm way more stressed about going back into it and having to perform like a "normal" person again. But over all, it gave me so much space to really listen to myself - hey, I figured out my gender!!! - my relationship to my body got more open to progress and I started taking care of myself more. I'm not gonna lie tho, it has been beyond stressful and hard. So, I'm glad you had a chance to better yourself and focus on what you love
Hi? Hello? You don't need to apologize, girl. We love you and I only wish you the best. Glad you're doing great out there!
Seriously, 2021 already having so many good things in store musically for me. Can't wait to hear your upcoming songs!
I love watching your google translate videos. Back in January I joined tiktok and you came up on my fyp and have really enjoyed your videos. Keep making the music and videos you love and we’ll keep watching them!
You're just a treasure. Your positive vibe means so much and i'm delighted to hear from you again. And if your recent absence has helped in any way, yay!
I'm glad overall this is a positive video. Keep on taking care of YOU.
THE QUEEN IS BACK
0:08-0:10 damn, as a professional editor,
that smooth af cut-on-action was DIVINE
Malinda so glad to see you're doing better. I'd just discovered you in late 2020 and have loved what you do every since!
Glad you're back! And taking time off for your health (physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, etc) is never a bad thing.
Looking forward to hearing the new music!!!
Don't worry about taking a break. We are just glad to hear from you again, and goof luck with the album!
Nooo!!!! That’s ok!!! ❤️ ♥️ 💜
Thanks for the update, Malinda. I wish you well in overcoming your anxiety and eating disorder, and I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Malinda's stuff is something that you can watch over and over again. Many of the other things I watch, I watch once and then almost never again. But Malinda, her stuff is different. I can watch it soo many times. Take as many breaks as you want, post only once a year, I'll still watch them all.
Thanks for updating us.
We miss you and we love you.
But please always take breaks when you need them.
We'll be here when you get back.
Awesome! I can’t wait to hear a whole album of your talent!
True fans appreciate you no matter when you are on any platform for any lenght of break time. Have a lovely day!
So excited for an album! Girl! So awesome!
Just do you. No worries of you taking a break. Sometimes you just need it. Especially if you're working on something new! Proud of you for that!
I absolutely missed you, but I think it's amazing that you are getting to make music and projects on your own time, as well as learning new things and meeting new artists similar to yourself. Great to hear you are in a good place too.
Much love to you, Malinda. You're a wonderful human being and I look forward to your future content!
Welcome back! The break seems yo have done you good because you are looking healthy and happy.
Aww, Malinda! 💖💗 You have got to be the biggest sweetheart ever
Congrats on taking the class! Stuff like that is so cool because you get to learn the language of the profession. I'm so happy for you getting to participate more in something you obviously love and enjoy very much (and are very good at!) :)
Your puffin song/video always makes me smile when i'm feeling down and I've missed your amazing creations but i'm happy you grew and learned and is now back! :D
Thanks for sharing with us and I look forward to the new music - particularly for your album. Definitely worth you taking the time to produce things that you feel satisfied with, rather than feel you have to rush just to get something out. Definitely sympathise with the creative process taking time! Oh, and remember that some of us on RUclips like folksy music too 😊
Glad you are doing well. :) You are awesome and have been doing great work bringing hope and joy to others. :)
I'm glad to have you back and so happy you're doing better Malinda! This isn't the craziest music idea but i would love to see more covers or just some singing videos that don't have to be anything "crazy"!
Okay, lemme tell you, that you are person i needed in my life for so long, thank you for just existing, and making my days better since a saw you for the first time. Youre so good!
We love you, Malinda! Take as much time as you need, because beautiful music speaks for itself.
I found you recently through the Pun song which I just loved! Yes. One of those, a punster down to my toes.
I’m totally with you on this.
We all love you and support you, if you need time we give you time
Good luck with your album! That is so cool, and I can't wait to hear it.
I’ve been listening to your music for a while. I love your style! This video made me subscribe because I can really relate to you when it comes to anxiety, isolation and food allergies. God bless!
That point about anxiety is a really good one... I had a similar experience/realization the first time that I started to feel "better" after getting treatment for anxiety. When you're in it, it can consume you and make you forget that other mental states of being exist. It's difficult, but important, to remember that it's possible to feel better.
Take breaks if you need to and take care of yourself! Recording an album is super exciting!
We always welcome breaks for creating awesome content!
And also, don't you ever feel the need to apologize for taking care of yourself. YOU are much more important than a video or a song.
Good that you took the break you needed, and glad to have you back :).
Welcome back. RUclips takes more time to than I want it to, as well, and your videos are incredibly well produced. Yay you for learning. 🥳 Good for you on managing your anxiety. Good luck with your treatment. 💖
Take breaks when you need to Malinda! 💖 Music takes time and energy :)
Oh my goodness, I've been behind on Patreon, and I was also so worried at the start of the video that some big bad had happened.
I am so relieved and delighted to hear that you've been working on your music, interacting with your communities, and weathering this pandemic.
I know everyone else has already said this, but I hope you never feel guilty or having to explain yourself if you ever take a break. Your supporters love you, and we *so* want to make sure you're looking after yourself and that you'll be okay.
Thank you for all the joy, warmth, and tender goodness that you bring to this world.
That was dramatic and authentic, enough, Malinda! Welcome back!
I want to say to you that you are doing great Malinda and that you and your music helps me a lot with my own personal issues. I was having a new kind of panic attack and then imperfect Christmas came on and I calmed down almost immediately. You are one of the two reasons I still walk on this earth today. I know you won't see this but if you do I just want to say thank you so much for helping me when I feel like I am in my lowest point with my mental health. Your are doing amazing things and helping people all over the world. Good job👍
Good to hear you are doing well, take whatever time you need whenever you need it. Completely understand when it comes to trying to do everything yourself with limitations. I do the same thing in game development... I have not figured out how to have two of me yet to get it all done, but when I do will let you know.
Looking forward to the album!
