You have gone through a lot of big changes in the past year or so. You moved into your new place with bird, got kitties to take care of, are getting engaged and you have been doing so very much. Be gentle with yourself. You owe us nothing. We come here to pass time, take a break and enjoy your travels and food adventures. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with us. Forget anyone that is cruel or sharp tongued. They clearly have bigger issues than your RUclips videos. Keep doing you and being authentic. That’s why people like you 💞
Oh, Alyssa 😔 You've been one of my safe spaces online this past few months, and I'm really sad to learn that you've been going through some things this year. Thank you for opening up to us. We understand and if you need space to take care of yourself, please don't hesitate to take it whenever you need to. We'll be here and will support you in whatever way we can, just tell us. Also, I hope you don't feel pressured by us to be positive even when you don't feel like it. Just being you - whatever state you are in - is enough. I'm so glad you're doing better these days! We appreciate you and your content. Sending big virtual hugs to you, Bird, Toni, and Oli! PS--WHO THE HECK IS SENDING YOU MEAN STUFF?? DROP THE @ SIS, I'M READY TO FITE!
You are a treasure! Don’t despair. Haters will always be around, but leave them to it. I love seeing how excited you get trying new foods and drinks. Such delight, and it’s totally contagious!
Be kind!! You're so strong for opening up Meimei, by doing this you're also helping so many people. You are honestly so so hard-working and you deserve a break!! ❤
Two things can be true at once… you can be super grateful but still struggle with the very thing you’re grateful for. Life ebbs & flows. You are loved for exactly who you are Meimei. We love Bird too. We got you girl ❤️
Can you block those negative people?! I applaud you for being honest about your mental health. I can definitely relate. For me, I am so super sensitive, but I try to have a strong exterior. Be strong!
It takes a lot of courage to open up and be vulnerable about one’s mental health. Very happy that your mental well-being is on the upswing. Oftentimes, it is difficult to see if anyone is struggling with depression since everyone puts on their masks to face the world. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming adventures!
🥺 I’m so sorry to hear this year has been the hardest, and I relate to trying to outwardly appear happy and bubbly when there are sad moments too. We’re human and we all feel a wide spectrum of emotions! I’m glad you’re giving yourself some more grace and time recharge! ❤ you’re doing an amazing job!!
Just a reminder meimei ! We will always be here for you 🫶🏾 this year hasn’t been that great for me as well, but I got through it so you can too! love your vids 💗
Meimei it’s ok to be “inconsistent” and not have to share everything. Take all the time you need, your mental health is more important. We love and support you sm! ❤
Your health and your happiness has to come first always! Thank you for being so vulnerable. I can’t imagine how hard that must be. You’re amazing! Happier days are always on the way and it’s okay to have periods of down time. We can’t always control that! Keep doing life for you ❤️.
also I love that you are such a big creator now, and you still reply to fans comments like me! I remember the first time you replied to my comment, I think it was a video with mom! I was SO excited and happy knowing that you read comments like mine! just know that you make peoples days a million times better!
thank you for sharing your mental health journey! this year has also been one of the hardest years for me mentally. more down days than up, but we both got it !!! just keep putting one foot infront of the other. thank you for always being a safe space for me on youtube. sending love! ❤️
I truly enjoy both of your channels since subscribing! Seeing your adventures and memories made with Bird, your sweet cats & your family is a bright spot in my day! You have to take the time needed to make sure your health in all ways is good! I so appreciate your hard work & look forward to more as you can!❤️✌🏽
Hi Mei mei, I'm a relatively new follower who has been binging on your videos for the last few months. I don't usually comment on anything but this video where you talked about your mental health was super relatable and I felt the need to reach out and tell you you're doing an amazing job ❤ I love your personality, your videos, your relationship, everything!!!
So grateful for your candor; Alyssa! I’ve had some struggles with my physical health since Sept 2019; which has definitely brought my own mental health into focus. It’s easy to say that everyone has good days & bad days, but unless you know what people are really facing in life, I feel that the best thing that friends; family & even new acquaintances can do is to be as caring & supportive as they can be… Thank you for letting others know that people can struggle & yet still feel safe enough to reach out to others & express your own feelings. Best wishes to you, Bird & your family. This video was a lovely reminder to always do your best to “be kind!” ❤🙏🏻🥰😘
Love you so much meimei 💗💗!! i’m sure me and other ppl that love you like me understand what you’re going through and understand what you’re feeling. just living life can be a lot and you’re on the internet way more than most of us. and we all aren’t always put together and having the best mental health. i know i don’t know you personally and have expressed it can be stressful opening up with us but you can! the vlog channel has been so much fun to watch, i was one of the first few followers when you posted about making a new channel and i appreciate being able to watch you be more yourself and not everything be surrounded around food but your life and your experiences. please don’t ever feel you need to meet certain deadlines and whatnot just to make us happy, cause at the end of the day we want what’s best for you and your mental wellbeing💗💗💗. Anyway sorry for the rambling but love you so much meimei just keep being you!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Hi! I’m new to your channel. Your channel came up as a suggestion and I’m hooked. I love that you are so happy, smiling and laughing and I love you seeing you with Bird, your friends, your sister and mom. I’m sorry to learn about your mental health struggles. I am 47 and started going to counseling in the past 5 years because I’ve had many traumatic events in my past and big changes in the past several years. I grew up in an environment that taught me that there must be something seriously wrong with me if I sought out mental health help. I’ve also had people say to me that counseling doesn’t work. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better. It doesn’t matter if it’s counseling, talking to a friend or family, relaxing, exercising, meditation, taking a break from work 20:20 etc… you don’t have to be the strong one for everyone or always put on a brave face. We all have bad days or trying times. No one should ever make you feel like you have a perfect life, job, relationship, family, friends, financial situation that you don’t have a reason to feel the way you do. Please feel free to be honest with us. Remember hurt people hurt people and when they say something negative to you, they maybe struggling with something and maybe they don’t feel like they have the support they need to help them. Just continue to be as happy as you can be and if you need sometime for yourself, take as much as you need. We want you to be as happy and emotionally and mentally healthy as you can be. Hugs from your new fan in San Antonio, TX.
You are amazing! You don't owe us anything, and we are so lucky to have you. I'm so sorry things have been rough for you. I'm very glad to hear things have been improving lately, and hopefully you talking about it helps alleviate some more. Sending lots of love to you all! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and being so open! We truly appreciate all that you share on your vlog and main channel! It’s great to hear that you’ve been going to therapy and getting the help you deserve. Excited to continue watching your journey and for the engagement, Taiwan, Japan, and Disney Sea vlogs!
Be kind! 💕 MeiMei, you are one of the most admirable people on YT. Mental health can be very very tough sometimes but opening up about it can be equally that as well. It takes a lot of courage and strength to push through it and the want to get better and you’ve got both of those qualities! Take all the time that you need and just know all of us are here for you! No explanations needed. I’m very very proud of you and excited to see what’s to come! Much love and great energy! 🤍
First of all... its not easy to open up for anyone but I cant even imagine doing it online. Like you said.. most people are kind but its the ones that arent that really do damage, especially when you arent feeling your best. Thank you for being honest and I really hope things get easier for you hun. Sending big hugs and good thought your way. You got this girl!!! 🧡🧡🤗🤗🧡🧡🤗🤗🧡🧡
You’re incredibly brave for opening up about your struggles, and I’m sorry people were rude to you about it in the past. I’ve noticed a lot of people are just super miserable and like to take it out on others, even complete strangers. 2023 was a very difficult year for me and my loved ones as well, so we’re sitting with you. I hope this new year is better for you, much love!! ❤
I'm sorry this has been a hard year for you. I feel like this is the case for so many (including myself) so don't feel alone in this! You are one of mine and my husband's favorite RUclipsrs. You are one that we watch together all the time and we both love watching your and Bird's shenanigans! I'm glad you opened up about your mental health. I think it is so important to talk about, especially with everyone trying to make their lives look perfect on social media. Looking forward to your upcoming travel videos!!
so so proud of you for going to therapy this year! It’s not easy to open up and not easy to start something new, and especially not easy to be vulnerable in a space where you have been hurt before. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤ sending you much love and good vibes.
I may not be the same age, but my 21 year old & I enjoy your vlogs. We all have hard moments. I’m a mom of 5 & I always worry for my kids & wonder if I’m doing all I can for them & Husband & then wonder if I’m remembering myself as well. I’m great full & thankful for my beautiful family & I’m blessed but I think we all have moments. Your on a public level & I can only imagine how hard it maybe for people to say rude things to you. We are all awesome & just have to keep reminding ourselves everyday. We can only take one step at a time. We love to watch your Disney cruises, it’s our dream to go one day. Have a blessed day! 🙏🏼 Thanks for sharing!
I’m so sorry for what you are going through. I make it a mission to always be kind to everyone. I’m not sure why people go out of their way to be cruel to others. I am a new subscriber and I watched every vlog you have made. I told my husband I found the most amazing and wholesome channel and was so happy for that. I’m glad you decided to go to therapy. I will keep you in prayer and that 2024 will be filled with many blessing and no trolls lol. Thank you for sharing ❤ Be Kind
Awh, i’m so sorry your mental health hasnt been as great this year meimei! :( I’m sure it was a hard thing to open up especially with what you said has happened before! You’re so brave for that💛 Just know in doing so, we are all sending u so much more support, love, and prayers!! Just know you are such a light and seem like such a sweet and kind person!! And your videos are truly a joy to watch every time you upload!! You’re doing amazing, keep going and know you’re in my prayers!!💛 God bless you :) and praying that things will get better! (P.S. take all the breaks you need! Breaks are super important so don’t feel like you are letting us down!)
You are the best MeiMei! You have been working so hard this year, with the blog channel it seems like more content than before. You have come a long way in the years I have been watching and you are so blessed to have the support of your family and Bird! ❤
Thank you for sharing of yourself. So glad you took a step back and took care of yourself. We love you and bird and all the joy you bring. We are your community and will be here supporting you. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Much love!❤❤❤
Thanks for being so vulnerable and strong to share with us. You don't owe us any explanation about your delays. Btw, your market videos have been one of my favorite videos and it's been able to get me through some mentally hard days. I literally created a grocery Pinterest board so please make more Korean and Japanese market videos. I am more sad for people who have no life other than put people down (aka bullying). Just remember that happy people say happy things to others. Misery needs company by putting people down and most importantly they need to get therapy. I hope you are able to find an admin who can manage your DMs and let you focus on creating.
I think it’s completely healthy to be aware that you’re not always happy. It’s ok! And thank you for always being yourself as much as possible. I’ve said it before and will say it again- your realness is infectious. We love watching you because you are so authentic and we will always support you. Just know we are always rooting for you!! Be kind, everyone!! Kindness is infectious!
Be kind to yourself, to eachother, and to the world. You are your number one advocate and when people are negative it is self reflection mostly they are mad that you are successful and loved you don't need to concern yourself with the negativity of others you have enough on your plate. Relax, breath, and think positive thoughts. Continue being amazing and hwen you have bad days take care of yourself! Lots of support ❤
love you meimei ☹️❤️ thank you for sharing with us. your mental health always come first - we will always be here for you, whenever you want to upload and if we ever miss you, we’ll just go back and rewatch the 100+ videos you have hehe
Be kind 💕 thank you for opening up with us meimei! Its not easy being vulnerable on camera, and I appreciate you and your vids so much! Take care, i know you'll get through this ❤
glad that you have this safe space to share your feelings! I def noticed you hadn't been posting as much but this year has been a wild one... so I don't blame you! we all need to take care of ourselves more! thanks for always posting such fun and yummy content and i look forward to seeing more - all at your own pace :) looking forward to the engagement!! and will share the mantra of BEING KIND
Hi! I randomly stumbled on one of your videos and fell in love with your content. You have such a vibrant personality and thats why I was drawn in. I'm so sorry that youre hurting and I hope you can have better days soon ❤
meimei, i can understand so much to how you're feeling rn. last year was definitely my lowest year, and i'm so fortunate that i was able to get out of that rut. a lot of people thought i was doing okay since i also was always acting positive and whatnot, but i was just good at hiding it. i just know this feeling won't last for long, and it will get so much better. i promise!! i hope the next few months before 2023 ends treat you well, you deserve it immensely. be kind ♥
thank you for sharing this with us!! I’m so sorry it’s been hard for you lately…but your videos are one of my favorite things to watch. Love watching you and Bird and your mom…I hope things continue to get better 💙
First, you’re wonderful. You’re helping me experience more joy in the world. Therapy is underrated. Many people think it’s just like talking to a supportive friend or family, so why pay for it. But it’s not, because therapy breaches topics/areas that might never come up during casual chatting with friends. Thank you Mei Mei for revealing your struggle, which undoubtedly will encourage others to seek help. 🥰
You are just a joy! You sharing your life with all of us is really special. Life is harder for some of us sometimes in our lives. Thank you for sharing such a personal issue. Hang in there and keep up the great videos and so much info on yummy foods!!
I'm glad to see this real side of what, I think, everyone is going through right now. We love you and your content and will support you through everything. Been here for a while and don't plan on leaving any time soon. Love you, hope things get better for you!!
Thank you for being open to us on this channel. I know it’s hard to open up bout your mental health because when your audience consist of various people that may not support you. I’m so glad that you’re able to do this for us. I know that expressing your feelings on here is rather difficult. You keep doing everything you can and just know that your viewers will appreciate your efforts you put in to your channels. ❤❤❤❤
Mei Mei, you seem like one of the sweetest people anyone can ever meet. I am sorry to hear that you are going through some mental health issues but I can certainly relate as I am as well. I have also seek professional help to get through it. It's very focused sessions and seems to be what I need. I wish you the best. Stay positive!
Thank you for sharing this. I really struggle with my mental health but find it hard to talk about it, so this was refreshing to hear you speak is candidly.
We love you Alyssa because you are always authentic and transparent. Our standards for ourselves are probably much higher than anyone else could ever have for us! Sending SO MUCH LOVE 💗
I don't usually comment, but sending lots of love your way. And just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you put in so I can unwind from my own bad days. I really appreciate it
I understand. There is work and the bright face but then there is the struggle. This year is hard. I found I need to take a long weekend each month to make sure I am giving myself space and time. Glad you have someone to talk to. It helps. Love ❤ and encouragement as you strive to be a healthy you! Here for you!! Be kind!!
Thank you for sharing this with us, I did notice that you were inconsistent with posting but I honestly did not mind at all so do not worry about us being disappointed in you. We appreciate your hard work so much and you deserve all of the blessings you have right now! 💗
Thank you for opening up and sharing with us. I feel we all have times like these. I have really enjoyed all your videos and feel you have done a great job this year! All of your videos have been so much fun and I am sad to know that you were going through rough times. Kind of scary as well because you just can never tell what someone is going through. We watch your videos cause it has always brings up our mood and we even go to many of the places you have tired. I am glad to hear you are feeling better!
Be kind. You are stronger than you realize. Hang in there. Your vulnerability may end up helping others feeling the same pain but haven’t had the support to help them find their voice and get help. So thank you for all that you do.
Sending you so so so much love and kindness. You’re a light in this space and you deserve nothing but kindness and respect for what you generously give us. ❤
I’m so sorry about those haters. You know haters are going to hate. Please don’t let them get to you. You’re doing a great job and please continue to be you. We love watching your content and shorts. ❤❤❤ Life does give you ups and downs, but always make sure there are more ups! Keep your head up! You don’t need to please everyone, health comes first! Always supporting you! ❤ I love your makeup sessions even though I don’t wear makeup. I find it fascinating when people put makeup on. Glad you have a lot of upcoming trips ahead, especially the proposal! 🎉 Be Kind ❤
Just want to say I recently discovered your vlog channel and I love watching you! So sorry times have been tough but you brighten so many folks’ days with your content :)
sending you love and support for all the upcoming things planned! hope all is well and will continue to be so because you definitely deserve kindness and love for how much you care about your viewers, thank you meimei
thank you for being honest with us meimei! and im so proud of you for getting therapy! i can't imagine the amount of hate or mean comments you receive on your social media, even if it's a minority of people. so if you decide to take breaks, it is completely valid! prioritize your health first!
So sorry to hear you have been having a hard time. Your videos bring so much joy to all of us, and I hope that you can feel the genuine love and support in return. I hope that everyone can be kind :D.
Be kind!! Since the pandemic, I feel that there has been more mental health issues. So much going on in the world which adds to the mental health issues. No need to apologize! We all have times of mental struggle. Take time for yourself occasionally to do things not associated with your work. Therapy is a wonderful avenue to talk things out and understanding what/why you are having issues with, and how to make things better. I think I’m rambling!! ❤
Sending you a big hug!! Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. I really do commend you for it. That took a lot of courage to share with the internet. Much love from Bakersfield ❤️
I really enjoyed you supermarket sushi and Korean corn dog videos so don't be discouraged!!! Honestly I love your main and vlog channels. Just keep doing what you love. PS. Your mom's the cutiest, she so supportive of you. Love that ❤
Thank you for sharing difficult times/feelings that we’ve all experienced but rarely have the courage to admit to others, let alone when you know there will still be some people who continue to try and tear you down (don’t let them). Glad you have sought therapy - I hope it’s helped. On another note, my daughter and I LOVE watching your posts - food taste tests, Disney trips, Amazon prime haul unwrapping, Costco runs…you name it! Thank you for creating a place to go to that is so relatable, and a lot of fun to watch 😊 Continue to do what you love, but remember - no matter how many vlogs you post, you need to take care of YOU first.
Alyssa & Bird, you are both funny, positive and joy to watch. Don’t let negative, mean and critical people out there bring you down. Take care of yourself and enjoy many good things that are coming your way. Engagement, trips, etc. Most importantly people who watch your videos really enjoy what you are doing and so should you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself because only person that you owe anything to is yourself.
Thanks for meeting open about your struggles and creator burnout. Funny enough I look up to you and I only see how much you're succeeding on this platform. You inspire people, keep shining and taking care of yourself first ❤
Be kind 💕💕 Hi MeiMei!!! Just wanna say my bf and I LOVE both your channels (but mostly your vlogs!). I know it must not always be easy to put so much of yourself out there, but we appreciate all your work and enthusiasm. Hope you continue healing and finding what works best for you and your mental health! 🩷
Thank you for opening up. I was always wondering if you're truly happy and optimistic or if you're sometimes "faking" a good mood so we don't get worried about you. It's okay if you take a break until you feel better meimei. Sending you hugs 🧡 Be kind 💕
Mental health is something that affects everyone, people going after people for expressing themselves is completely disgusting and pathetic. You feel how you feel and you are allowed to be human. I'm sorry that this has been weighing on you, I hope that you can find something that will help you through every situation. Depression comes with my disease and is a constant battle, turning to God has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Don't ever feel bad about being human, going through hard times happens so you do you and don't worry about what people who don't really know you say. Hopefully you will have a very blessed rest of the year ahead, I am always happy to see your videos 💕 Thank you for sharing 😊
I never comment on RUclips buuuuuut I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. You are a highlight of me and my girlfriends day when you upload! We are rooting for you!!
One of my favorite quotes is "There is great strength in vulnerability, as it takes courage to push through the fear and share one's true self with others." Be kind (to yourself too!) 💖
Sorry to hear about your mental health but glad you’re getting better. Therapy is a great idea. Don’t worry about what others think of you. It’s not easy but try to keep positive and think about all the good things in your life. ❤
Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine how tricky it is to find that balance of wanting to be open (vulnerable to unnecessary criticism) and also wanting & needing to keep things private, no matter the reason. I appreciate whatever you do share and the content you give us, just please take care of yourself first and everything else will fall into place when & how it need be. ❤ "Be kind"!
Be kind 💖 I’m glad that you were able to open up about how you have been feeling and that therapy has been a tool for you. Please know that we are always here for you no matter what😊
BE KIND! AWW thanks for opening up. You have no idea how much joy you have brought to the channel. I love watching your channel and I always look forward to your vlog channel! I'm so glad you are feeling better!
We love you girl mei mei girl ♥️ Thank you for being open & vulnerable I love your videos they’re so calming and just full of seratonin We love you for you & just never be afraid to be you or how you feel Everything is gonna be okay & know you got your fans behind you & support 💕
Haters are going to hate. You are wonderful just as you are. Your appreciation of good food and the love you have for your cats and family shows on your channel. You will disappoint some people but that’s ok because you can’t make everyone happy. You will also attract people who want to know you and love you as you are. So be you. Cause we are all here replying cause you’ve been… just you. And we love that. Let haters rot in their hate.
I’m glad you opened up. You seem so happy and optimistic and bubbly all the time. I’m glad you chose to be open with us. We support you ❤
You have gone through a lot of big changes in the past year or so. You moved into your new place with bird, got kitties to take care of, are getting engaged and you have been doing so very much. Be gentle with yourself. You owe us nothing. We come here to pass time, take a break and enjoy your travels and food adventures. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with us. Forget anyone that is cruel or sharp tongued. They clearly have bigger issues than your RUclips videos. Keep doing you and being authentic. That’s why people like you 💞
Yes this!! 💜
Oh, Alyssa 😔 You've been one of my safe spaces online this past few months, and I'm really sad to learn that you've been going through some things this year. Thank you for opening up to us. We understand and if you need space to take care of yourself, please don't hesitate to take it whenever you need to. We'll be here and will support you in whatever way we can, just tell us. Also, I hope you don't feel pressured by us to be positive even when you don't feel like it. Just being you - whatever state you are in - is enough. I'm so glad you're doing better these days! We appreciate you and your content. Sending big virtual hugs to you, Bird, Toni, and Oli! PS--WHO THE HECK IS SENDING YOU MEAN STUFF?? DROP THE @ SIS, I'M READY TO FITE!
Of course
The last part ^^^

Hi! I’m new to your channel. Your channel came up as a suggestion and I’m hooked. I love that you are so happy, smiling and laughing and I love you seeing you with Bird, your friends, your sister and mom. I’m sorry to learn about your mental health struggles. I am 47 and started going to counseling in the past 5 years because I’ve had many traumatic events in my past and big changes in the past several years. I grew up in an environment that taught me that there must be something seriously wrong with me if I sought out mental health help. I’ve also had people say to me that counseling doesn’t work.

It doesn’t matter if it’s counseling, talking to a friend or family, relaxing, exercising, meditation, taking a break from work 20:20 etc… you don’t have to be the strong one for everyone or always put on a brave face. We all have bad days or trying times. No one should ever make you feel like you have a perfect life, job, relationship, family, friends, financial situation that you don’t have a reason to feel the way you do. Please feel free to be honest with us. Remember hurt people hurt people and when they say something negative to you, they maybe struggling with something and maybe they don’t feel like they have the support they need to help them. Just continue to be as happy as you can be and if you need sometime for yourself, take as much as you need. We want you to be as happy and emotionally and mentally healthy as you can be. Hugs from your new fan in San Antonio, TX.
You are amazing! You don't owe us anything, and we are so lucky to have you. I'm so sorry things have been rough for you. I'm very glad to hear things have been improving lately, and hopefully you talking about it helps alleviate some more. Sending lots of love to you all! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and being so open! We truly appreciate all that you share on your vlog and main channel! It’s great to hear that you’ve been going to therapy and getting the help you deserve. Excited to continue watching your journey and for the engagement, Taiwan, Japan, and Disney Sea vlogs!
Be kind! 💕 MeiMei, you are one of the most admirable people on YT. Mental health can be very very tough sometimes but opening up about it can be equally that as well. It takes a lot of courage and strength to push through it and the want to get better and you’ve got both of those qualities! Take all the time that you need and just know all of us are here for you! No explanations needed. I’m very very proud of you and excited to see what’s to come! Much love and great energy! 🤍
First of all... its not easy to open up for anyone but I cant even imagine doing it online. Like you said.. most people are kind but its the ones that arent that really do damage, especially when you arent feeling your best. Thank you for being honest and I really hope things get easier for you hun. Sending big hugs and good thought your way. You got this girl!!! 🧡🧡🤗🤗🧡🧡🤗🤗🧡🧡
You’re incredibly brave for opening up about your struggles, and I’m sorry people were rude to you about it in the past. I’ve noticed a lot of people are just super miserable and like to take it out on others, even complete strangers. 2023 was a very difficult year for me and my loved ones as well, so we’re sitting with you. I hope this new year is better for you, much love!! ❤
I'm sorry this has been a hard year for you. I feel like this is the case for so many (including myself) so don't feel alone in this! You are one of mine and my husband's favorite RUclipsrs. You are one that we watch together all the time and we both love watching your and Bird's shenanigans! I'm glad you opened up about your mental health. I think it is so important to talk about, especially with everyone trying to make their lives look perfect on social media. Looking forward to your upcoming travel videos!!
Take as much time as you need. Everyone has there own struggles aaaaaand the haters are insecure😂 We are here for you ❤
so so proud of you for going to therapy this year! It’s not easy to open up and not easy to start something new, and especially not easy to be vulnerable in a space where you have been hurt before. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤ sending you much love and good vibes.
I may not be the same age, but my 21 year old & I enjoy your vlogs. We all have hard moments. I’m a mom of 5 & I always worry for my kids & wonder if I’m doing all I can for them & Husband & then wonder if I’m remembering myself as well. I’m great full & thankful for my beautiful family & I’m blessed but I think we all have moments. Your on a public level & I can only imagine how hard it maybe for people to say rude things to you. We are all awesome & just have to keep reminding ourselves everyday. We can only take one step at a time. We love to watch your Disney cruises, it’s our dream to go one day. Have a blessed day! 🙏🏼 Thanks for sharing!
I’m so sorry for what you are going through. I make it a mission to always be kind to everyone. I’m not sure why people go out of their way to be cruel to others. I am a new subscriber and I watched every vlog you have made. I told my husband I found the most amazing and wholesome channel and was so happy for that. I’m glad you decided to go to therapy. I will keep you in prayer and that 2024 will be filled with many blessing and no trolls lol. Thank you for sharing ❤ Be Kind
Awh, i’m so sorry your mental health hasnt been as great this year meimei! :( I’m sure it was a hard thing to open up especially with what you said has happened before! You’re so brave for that💛 Just know in doing so, we are all sending u so much more support, love, and prayers!! Just know you are such a light and seem like such a sweet and kind person!! And your videos are truly a joy to watch every time you upload!! You’re doing amazing, keep going and know you’re in my prayers!!💛 God bless you :) and praying that things will get better!
(P.S. take all the breaks you need! Breaks are super important so don’t feel like you are letting us down!)
be kind
You are the best MeiMei! You have been working so hard this year, with the blog channel it seems like more content than before. You have come a long way in the years I have been watching and you are so blessed to have the support of your family and Bird! ❤
Thank you for sharing of yourself. So glad you took a step back and took care of yourself. We love you and bird and all the joy you bring. We are your community and will be here supporting you. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Much love!❤❤❤
You are literally the sweetest and most unproblemlematic person on RUclips. ❤
We are all here for you Meimei❤
Thank you for opening up to us Meimei
Thanks for being so vulnerable and strong to share with us. You don't owe us any explanation about your delays. Btw, your market videos have been one of my favorite videos and it's been able to get me through some mentally hard days. I literally created a grocery Pinterest board so please make more Korean and Japanese market videos.
I am more sad for people who have no life other than put people down (aka bullying). Just remember that happy people say happy things to others. Misery needs company by putting people down and most importantly they need to get therapy. I hope you are able to find an admin who can manage your DMs and let you focus on creating.
I think it’s completely healthy to be aware that you’re not always happy. It’s ok! And thank you for always being yourself as much as possible. I’ve said it before and will say it again- your realness is infectious. We love watching you because you are so authentic and we will always support you.
Just know we are always rooting for you!!
Be kind, everyone!! Kindness is infectious!
Be kind to yourself, to eachother, and to the world. You are your number one advocate and when people are negative it is self reflection mostly they are mad that you are successful and loved you don't need to concern yourself with the negativity of others you have enough on your plate. Relax, breath, and think positive thoughts. Continue being amazing and hwen you have bad days take care of yourself! Lots of support ❤
Be Kind!
Thank you for your vulnerability! Love you MeiMei! Xoxo here with you. Making us feel seen!
hope you’re doing okay meimei! we are here for u 💗💗
love you meimei ☹️❤️ thank you for sharing with us. your mental health always come first - we will always be here for you, whenever you want to upload and if we ever miss you, we’ll just go back and rewatch the 100+ videos you have hehe
Be kind 💕 thank you for opening up with us meimei! Its not easy being vulnerable on camera, and I appreciate you and your vids so much! Take care, i know you'll get through this ❤
glad that you have this safe space to share your feelings! I def noticed you hadn't been posting as much but this year has been a wild one... so I don't blame you! we all need to take care of ourselves more! thanks for always posting such fun and yummy content and i look forward to seeing more - all at your own pace :) looking forward to the engagement!! and will share the mantra of BEING KIND
Hi! I randomly stumbled on one of your videos and fell in love with your content. You have such a vibrant personality and thats why I was drawn in. I'm so sorry that youre hurting and I hope you can have better days soon ❤
meimei, i can understand so much to how you're feeling rn. last year was definitely my lowest year, and i'm so fortunate that i was able to get out of that rut. a lot of people thought i was doing okay since i also was always acting positive and whatnot, but i was just good at hiding it. i just know this feeling won't last for long, and it will get so much better. i promise!! i hope the next few months before 2023 ends treat you well, you deserve it immensely. be kind ♥
thank you for sharing this with us!! I’m so sorry it’s been hard for you lately…but your videos are one of my favorite things to watch. Love watching you and Bird and your mom…I hope things continue to get better 💙
First, you’re wonderful. You’re helping me experience more joy in the world. Therapy is underrated. Many people think it’s just like talking to a supportive friend or family, so why pay for it. But it’s not, because therapy breaches topics/areas that might never come up during casual chatting with friends. Thank you Mei Mei for revealing your struggle, which undoubtedly will encourage others to seek help. 🥰
be kind!!
you’re such a light mei mei 🌟 glad to hear you’re doing better! love supporting one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
You are just a joy! You sharing your life with all of us is really special. Life is harder for some of us sometimes in our lives. Thank you for sharing such a personal issue. Hang in there and keep up the great videos and so much info on yummy foods!!
I'm glad to see this real side of what, I think, everyone is going through right now. We love you and your content and will support you through everything. Been here for a while and don't plan on leaving any time soon. Love you, hope things get better for you!!
You are such a joy, MeiMei! Sending you comfort ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being open to us on this channel. I know it’s hard to open up bout your mental health because when your audience consist of various people that may not support you. I’m so glad that you’re able to do this for us. I know that expressing your feelings on here is rather difficult. You keep doing everything you can and just know that your viewers will appreciate your efforts you put in to your channels. ❤❤❤❤
Mei Mei, you seem like one of the sweetest people anyone can ever meet. I am sorry to hear that you are going through some mental health issues but I can certainly relate as I am as well. I have also seek professional help to get through it. It's very focused sessions and seems to be what I need. I wish you the best. Stay positive!
Thank you for sharing this. I really struggle with my mental health but find it hard to talk about it, so this was refreshing to hear you speak is candidly.
We love you Alyssa because you are always authentic and transparent. Our standards for ourselves are probably much higher than anyone else could ever have for us! Sending SO MUCH LOVE 💗
You're a beautiful soul.. don't beat yourself up!!! Wishing you nothing but the best and always here to support you!!!
I don't usually comment, but sending lots of love your way. And just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you put in so I can unwind from my own bad days. I really appreciate it
Hey gal,
Appreciate you being so open as it’s not always easy. Sending you so much love ❤❤
thank you, i appreciate you more than you know ❤❤
@@moremeimei❤
I understand. There is work and the bright face but then there is the struggle. This year is hard. I found I need to take a long weekend each month to make sure I am giving myself space and time. Glad you have someone to talk to. It helps. Love ❤ and encouragement as you strive to be a healthy you! Here for you!! Be kind!!
Thank you for sharing this with us, I did notice that you were inconsistent with posting but I honestly did not mind at all so do not worry about us being disappointed in you. We appreciate your hard work so much and you deserve all of the blessings you have right now! 💗
Thank you for opening up and sharing with us. I feel we all have times like these. I have really enjoyed all your videos and feel you have done a great job this year! All of your videos have been so much fun and I am sad to know that you were going through rough times. Kind of scary as well because you just can never tell what someone is going through. We watch your videos cause it has always brings up our mood and we even go to many of the places you have tired. I am glad to hear you are feeling better!
I hope you’re feeling better! You’re doing such a great job ❤️
Be kind. You are stronger than you realize. Hang in there. Your vulnerability may end up helping others feeling the same pain but haven’t had the support to help them find their voice and get help. So thank you for all that you do.
Sending you so so so much love and kindness. You’re a light in this space and you deserve nothing but kindness and respect for what you generously give us. ❤
I’m so sorry about those haters. You know haters are going to hate. Please don’t let them get to you. You’re doing a great job and please continue to be you. We love watching your content and shorts. ❤❤❤ Life does give you ups and downs, but always make sure there are more ups! Keep your head up! You don’t need to please everyone, health comes first! Always supporting you! ❤
I love your makeup sessions even though I don’t wear makeup. I find it fascinating when people put makeup on.
Glad you have a lot of upcoming trips ahead, especially the proposal! 🎉
Be Kind ❤
Just want to say I recently discovered your vlog channel and I love watching you! So sorry times have been tough but you brighten so many folks’ days with your content :)
sending you love and support for all the upcoming things planned! hope all is well and will continue to be so because you definitely deserve kindness and love for how much you care about your viewers, thank you meimei
Be kind 💕 excited for all that’s to come for you and hope it all turns out even better than you expect.
thank you for being honest with us meimei! and im so proud of you for getting therapy! i can't imagine the amount of hate or mean comments you receive on your social media, even if it's a minority of people. so if you decide to take breaks, it is completely valid! prioritize your health first!
So sorry to hear you have been having a hard time. Your videos bring so much joy to all of us, and I hope that you can feel the genuine love and support in return. I hope that everyone can be kind :D.
Be kind!!
Since the pandemic, I feel that there has been more mental health issues. So much going on in the world which adds to the mental health issues. No need to apologize! We all have times of mental struggle. Take time for yourself occasionally to do things not associated with your work. Therapy is a wonderful avenue to talk things out and understanding what/why you are having issues with, and how to make things better. I think I’m rambling!! ❤
Sending you a big hug!! Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. I really do commend you for it. That took a lot of courage to share with the internet. Much love from Bakersfield ❤️
I really enjoyed you supermarket sushi and Korean corn dog videos so don't be discouraged!!! Honestly I love your main and vlog channels. Just keep doing what you love. PS. Your mom's the cutiest, she so supportive of you. Love that ❤
Thank you for sharing. I work in the mental health field, so I am always happy to see someone use their platform to help reduce the stigma.
I am so proud of your bravery to speak up and stand up for mental health and wellness. 👏
Thank you for sharing difficult times/feelings that we’ve all experienced but rarely have the courage to admit to others, let alone when you know there will still be some people who continue to try and tear you down (don’t let them). Glad you have sought therapy - I hope it’s helped.
On another note, my daughter and I LOVE watching your posts - food taste tests, Disney trips, Amazon prime haul unwrapping, Costco runs…you name it!
Thank you for creating a place to go to that is so relatable, and a lot of fun to watch 😊
Continue to do what you love, but remember - no matter how many vlogs you post, you need to take care of YOU first.
Alyssa & Bird, you are both funny, positive and joy to watch. Don’t let negative, mean and critical people out there bring you down. Take care of yourself and enjoy many good things that are coming your way. Engagement, trips, etc. Most importantly people who watch your videos really enjoy what you are doing and so should you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself because only person that you owe anything to is yourself.
Thanks for meeting open about your struggles and creator burnout. Funny enough I look up to you and I only see how much you're succeeding on this platform. You inspire people, keep shining and taking care of yourself first ❤
Be kind 💕💕
Hi MeiMei!!! Just wanna say my bf and I LOVE both your channels (but mostly your vlogs!). I know it must not always be easy to put so much of yourself out there, but we appreciate all your work and enthusiasm. Hope you continue healing and finding what works best for you and your mental health! 🩷
Thank you for opening up. I was always wondering if you're truly happy and optimistic or if you're sometimes "faking" a good mood so we don't get worried about you. It's okay if you take a break until you feel better meimei. Sending you hugs 🧡 Be kind 💕
It’s been a hard year for me too. I understand and hope you 2023 ends on a positive note.
Mental health is something that affects everyone, people going after people for expressing themselves is completely disgusting and pathetic.
You feel how you feel and you are allowed to be human.
I'm sorry that this has been weighing on you, I hope that you can find something that will help you through every situation.
Depression comes with my disease and is a constant battle, turning to God has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Don't ever feel bad about being human, going through hard times happens so you do you and don't worry about what people who don't really know you say.
Hopefully you will have a very blessed rest of the year ahead, I am always happy to see your videos 💕
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing the story of your mental health 💕
Be kind! You’re my favorite vlogger! Thanks for sharing and being open about going to therapy. ❤
Sending u hugs! Thanks for being so honest. Hang in there! U are loved.
Be kind! Thank you for being yourself and your honesty...you have much to look forward to.
I never comment on RUclips buuuuuut I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. You are a highlight of me and my girlfriends day when you upload! We are rooting for you!!
One of my favorite quotes is "There is great strength in vulnerability, as it takes courage to push through the fear and share one's true self with others." Be kind (to yourself too!) 💖
Sorry to hear about your mental health but glad you’re getting better. Therapy is a great idea.
Don’t worry about what others think of you. It’s not easy but try to keep positive and think about all the good things in your life. ❤
Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine how tricky it is to find that balance of wanting to be open (vulnerable to unnecessary criticism) and also wanting & needing to keep things private, no matter the reason. I appreciate whatever you do share and the content you give us, just please take care of yourself first and everything else will fall into place when & how it need be. ❤ "Be kind"!
Be kind 💖 I’m glad that you were able to open up about how you have been feeling and that therapy has been a tool for you. Please know that we are always here for you no matter what😊
BE KIND! AWW thanks for opening up. You have no idea how much joy you have brought to the channel. I love watching your channel and I always look forward to your vlog channel! I'm so glad you are feeling better!
We love you girl mei mei girl ♥️
Thank you for being open & vulnerable
I love your videos they’re so calming and just full of seratonin
We love you for you & just never be afraid to be you or how you feel
Everything is gonna be okay & know you got your fans behind you & support 💕
Haters are going to hate. You are wonderful just as you are. Your appreciation of good food and the love you have for your cats and family shows on your channel. You will disappoint some people but that’s ok because you can’t make everyone happy. You will also attract people who want to know you and love you as you are. So be you. Cause we are all here replying cause you’ve been… just you. And we love that. Let haters rot in their hate.
Be kind ❤ I loved how you opened up to us.
