    Huge congrats on 315K!🎉 Your words about trying more things and prioritizing quantity or quality definitely resonates with me as well :)
    You do get stuck sometimes really thinking about “quality” so much you don’t even make anything at the end of the day.
    Also, that Pop-folk idea you’ve mention sounds really cool - you should definitely do it👏🏻

    Hello Rachel. Sorry it has been so long since I have left a comment on any of your videos, but I just re-watched one in particular that you can just put on repeat and listen to it over and over again. " My Mother Told Me ". Your voice on that particular one has just such a resonating tone that just memorizes the soul. I wish for you much more success and happiness. Just wanted to share that with you...

    "Quantity over quality" is something I've thought about a ton of times but never done. Even though I don't actually have good enough quality. I'll take that as an advice. Thanks for sharing that. Congrats on you channel, your songs sound great!

    Wow thank you so much for recommending the Forest app, I immediate downloaded it, this seems super helpful!
    I also really loved to hear about your mindset and productivity. I relate a lot to it actually. The quantity>quality thing is also super interesting. And apparently there has been a research done with photographers, where one group was graded for the amount of photos they made, and the other group was graded based on one amazing picture. It turned out the best pictures where in the quantity group, which I found super fascinating. I guess you don't pressure yourself/overthink too much when focusing on quantity.
    Anyways, keep up the great work!!!

    Thank you for the insights.
    Your health should always be your top priority. You can't buy one, so keep it safe. :) I hope the current changes have no negative impact (new job, moving, ...)
    It's nice to see that the encouragement and success doesn't have a negative impact on you. At least according to your videos you seem to be a very nice, grateful and very likeable person. Anyone who is friends with you can consider themselves lucky. :)
    Can I also order a shirt out of Mitril from you? ;)

    9:20 little advice if you want to attempt a Gollum voice try to flatten your tongue down to the floor of your mouth with the top of the muscle laying against your teeth.
    Editing note: This has only worked for me but at the same time I haven’t seen it tested with a female voice, not quite sure how that would turn out.
