you are loved

hey english speaking folks this video came from a really difficult time i had in early june. i really didn't think i was going to upload this to begin with because self esteem issues lol. sometimes having mental illness brings about a lot of shame/stigma but i don't want myself or anyone else to feel negatively about who they are. even if it effects us severely sometimes, mental illness is only a small fraction of who we are and who we can be...!! and yes the translations aren't accurate because i'm not fluent nor as skillful as a translator :D !
in this community, i hope we can share our experiences without judgment :) i'm hoping to make more videos or vlogs sharing my experiences in an ASMR format (on top of the regular stuff), so if this isn't for you, that is totally okay! you don't have to watch or be subscribed if you don't like it :) and for those who are struggling with mental health and addictions, i see you and feel you. i am with you. the pandemic has made many things much harder than they used to be and i am not immune to any of its effects.... i've been feeling disconnected, anxious, irritable and just out of sorts because i often keep things to myself. but i'm starting to learn the value of naming your emotions and speaking up even when it's uncomfortable. i hope you will feel comfortable doing the same :) you deserve to be heard

a lot of you have been with me since i was in high school lol which is pretty amazing and i'm glad we were able to "grow up" together :) our lives are just beginning and i hope we can keep walking on this seemingly eternal cycle of ups and downs😫

pls remember i'm not a medical professional and this video is not meant to serve as anything more than a source of comfort..! good mental health and developing self-reflective skills are very very important to me and so i hope that if you're having a difficult time to please reach out to any peer supports, medical professionals (especially if you feel your situation may be out of control or very hard on your ability to function) and always remember there are resources and people available to help you with that, even if they aren't in your geographic location! we are in this together!!

i hope you'll be able to realize your value and cultivate many great things from your life, even if it's little by little.

thank you, i love you
