I’ve been following you since your art school days, it’s so great seeing you back on here and thriving! I’d love to learn more about your career path as someone who wants to break into tech 😊 love the kitties 😻
i am genuinely happy to see you are doing well and pursuing your passions! i look forward to hearing about your life journey again! i wish you nothing but the best :)
Wow, a long time watcher here. I'm so proud of you! Happy to see you're doing well an working through some tough stuff. Thank you for your vulnerability. Much love!
I've been following you for ~10 years now and see a lot of parallels in our lives (I'm from SF but went to art school in Chicago, we both got out of long-term relationships at the same time, I too have been feeling a creative block for a few years). Your candidness about your mental health journey on Instagram & RUclips has continually resonated with me and made me feel less alone. It's truly a joy to see you create again (and has even ignited some spark in me again). I'm proud to see you keep pushing despite the shit life hurls at you. Welcome back, Anna - we missed you.
4 years alcohol free this month! At 21 I realized alcohol would never bring me anything positive, so I never touched it again. It's doable, you can do it. You may feel like you stick out like a sore thumb in a social setting when everyone else is drinking. But truth is, no one is paying attention to what you're drinking, they're all drunk! lol But seriously nothing beats being able to remember all your nights and waking up with no regrets and hangover free. Really excited to see this video and appreciate you sharing this with us! I've always loved your honesty on social media.
as someone who is going through their first ever heartbreak (after getting dumped by their first love the same day my cat had died) this hits hard. thank you for sharing such vulnerable insights! i completely understand what you mean by him supporting your work, but it was work that you catered to be likable to him... now we can create what is really true to ourselves!
I've been going through the same thing with the drinking, and the older you get - it gets worse. You don't know how it effects you, until you're off of it. I'm glad you're taking steps to live your best life. sending good vibes!
yes 1000% I really was not able to understanding how alcohol negatively impacted every aspect of my life until I finally stopped! thx - wishing you the best on your journey too :)
I got out of a long term relationship at around May 2020 and can relate so much to a lot of stuff you are talking about. It does take a long time to get to place where you can find happiness just from yourself again instead of other people or substances.
Hi Anna, this is the first time I visit your channel, and I just want to say, I'm proud of you for having the strength to carry on despite so many things you've gone through. It takes a lot of courage to talk about these things, and I totally understand what you mean by feeling vulnerable. It's not easy to express our feelings sometimes, but it's often the best way to find relief. You are a strong person, you really are. :) There is something important that I want you to always keep in mind: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We all have our days where we feel we can't survive. Sometimes dreams are shattered. Friendships may fall apart. Loved ones may hurt us. Finances may worry us. Sickness may overtake us. We may even lose people we love. :( But God will ALWAYS be there to guide us through even the toughest of times. I want to share with you one of my favorite Bible texts, it's one of the most beautiful expressions of God's love for us. It's found at Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10. Listen to what God says to you: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness." -Isaiah 41:10 God is ready and willing to help you, all you have to do is pray to him. He's always there for us, 24/7. When you pray to God, use his personal name, Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18) You will see how he answers your cries for help. God is fully aware of everything you suffer. He understands your deepest feelings-even when others do not. As Psalm 34:18 puts it: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God promises to support you when you feel sad. He can give you the strength to cope with your pain. It is my sincere wish that you find real happiness and fulfillment in life, and I know from personal experience that God is the only person that can help us to be truly happy now and in the future forever. Here is a hug for you, please accept it. 🤗 Take care. :)

I’m going on year 4 of my healing. Still not sure when it’ll be over. I’m my own worst enemy. But I’m just glad I realize it.
try to be as kind as you can to yourself - it can be a rough and bumpy journey but every day is another step forward.
@@AnnaRussett Thank you! That is what I need to do. Also I’m rooting for you and your progress!
*hug
i've missed your youtube videos! :')
Hey Anna! Long time no see!!
