I can´t describe how I feel after watching every single linda´s videos... I want to smile, cry, hug my mom, play with my dog, run, rest... I want to live and I´m so grateful for that. I love you.
after watching these videos i am always so inspired for my own RU-vid videos and this time, also seeing the different dogs reminded me of my own little baby
ik you probably won't see this but i just rly wanted to let you know how much your videos mean to me as im recovering from an ed. every day of recovery was genuinely so scary and confusing, but ive started watching 1 or 2 of ur videos every night to remind myself of how amazing life could be w/o food restrictions. youve srsly saved me and inspired me to keep going everyday instead of relapsing and falling to habits that were destroying my body. thanks to you ive learned to genuinely love my body the way i couldnt even at my lowest weight
no matter what weight you are the body struggle is real but the important thing is to keep waking up everyday and showing yourself some self love because you are in the end your BFF like i love saying on my own youtube channel baby steps it takes time to heal but that doesn't mean it is impossible and if you ever need any small reminder i have a video about self-worth that you will love
I recommend natacha oceane too. She's great for clearing your head about the science side of how your body works with food and exercise and making it seem normal and not something scary or taboo, just how our body functions. It might help you paired with this more mental nurturing side of it. There comes a point where videos like this that can't not mention 'triggers and remember when and now you feel good eating and xyz how I felt fat eating' becomes triggering itself because its takes you out of just normalising it.
Hey Linda!! I usually never comment but I just wanted to thank you for this video :) I’m a 16 y.o. girl, half Vietnamese and half British, currently living in California😋! I visited Vietnam last year (where my mom is from) and watching this vid brought back so many memories from that trip, which was one of the best times of my life. I’ve grown up never feeling “Vietnamese enough,” but being in VN made me feel in tune with that part of my heritage in a totally new way. And this video reminded me of that. I’m still growing up and becoming myself, and your videos have helped me a lot-especially your relationship with food and how you view your body. Also, last year when I was in Vietnam, your videos about visiting Singapore and experiencing the Asian beauty standard firsthand struck a chord with me and gave me a lot of comfort as I was feeling the same way. I’m actually going to visit my Vietnamese grandparents and relatives (in CA) for the next few days, so this post was perfect timing LOL. Currently my mouth is watering thinking about the good food I’m bouta tear up ANYWAY this got so long but I love you so much; TY FOR BEING YOU!!!💕
i feel ya for me i've moved around a lot and lived in many different countries so it is hard for me to feel like i am anything specifically when it comes to my culture. but i love travellign so much and actually i love filming travelling vlogs for my own youtube channel to bring people closer to places they might have never been before
Hey, this is totally random but you're not alone! I'm Vietnamese and grew up in Hanoi, but I've been studying abroad for around 6 years now. I'm trying to work abroad too, which for a while made me feel disconnected from my heritage. Being back at home, talking to my Viet friends, and just acknowledging myself as a Viet person was a great feeling after being away for so long. There's definitely plenty of us out there who feel similarly^^ If it helps, you can't really be "Vietnamese enough", though I get the feeling. You *are* Vietnamese; even if you totally distance yourself from your culture, you'd still be Viet! Don't worry too much about it, and hope you have (or had) a great time with your relatives.
I just sat and watched this while doing some self care, and ive started to feel better today from the past few days because i was stressing about my future job and the end of uni (which is 18 onwards as i am in the uk, im studying at college at the moment) even though im only 17 and this video made me feel even better, i didnt stop smiling and the end made me realise how far ive actually come so thank you so much for being you linda. I love you!
first of all you are so young you have so much ahead of you and life has a way of figuring itself out i am also in uni, and have been studying abroad, and since i have started my youtube channel i can visually also see how far i've come, and i have loved sharing my journey of healing with other people hoping to help them through theirs too :3
@@ashleypisarts everything will work out!! I'm technically in my last year of high school I think because I'm in my last year of college and finish a few months after I turn 18! but I hope everything goes well for you. :)
so glad that u have found such a nice and welcoming space for you to heal this is what i hope to one day achieve with my own youtube channel where i love helping others navigate their healing journey
This is absolutely my favorite Vietnam travel video of all time. This type of video style is so inspirational and makes me so happy to always be absorbing your knowledge and wisdom :')
your narration during the ha long bay part almost made me cry - i’m on a month long trip in europe with my dad and have started to really struggle with food guilt (i’m from japan, so definitely a very different variety of food) but it was a much-needed reminder to simply focus on the present and enjoy these special moments🥹 thank you!!!
we have the tendency to worry about our past mistakes and overthink the future that we forget to truly be present something I've learn through sharing my own youtube vlogs is the power of being present, that we should see it as a gift as the literally definition of present is also something so special
Your vedios always become the voice of my heart that is silenced by my Brain 🥺.You've been so helpful to me in my ED recovery and you're vedios don't let me feel alone .Can't thank God enough for having you in my life ❤.Wishing you all the love and happiness that u provide others ❤🫂
OMG as a Vietnamese watching this video makes me so proud of my country ,thank you so much for loving our home .And the part of annoucers don't have any friends makes me laugh so hard ,it's just kind of a Vietnames' things . First time knowing you and i feel blessed,love you
I just wish I had friends like you... with your maturity, faith in the present and future, self awareness and contagious real genuine personality. I hope to find them one day. Sending love to you for yet another wonderful video and for just being you ❤️
reminder that you will people come and go from our lives for a reason that is what i've discover as i am studying abroad and sharing my journey on youtube
As a Vietnamese person, I would like to send Linda a sincere thank you on behalf of everyone, thank you for going to the scenic spots of our country, thank you for your Try our country's dishes. Thank you so much, love you🥰
This video is beyond beautiful. I was lowkey tearing up watching it. As a new creator I aspire to be healing people with my content one day like you Linda. Sending much love 🫶
Linda I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, thank you for saying all that you said! It was comforting, and what my 33 year old self needed to hear and be reminded of!! ♥️♥️ love listening to your thoughts ☺️
i think this is something no matter what age we have that we need to hear this is why i love making also this kind of videos, because i want to offer people reminders so they can listen to them when they need it
hope ur day is going good and if you every need some reminders i have some videos on my youtube channel where i help others through their healing journey
I love Vietnam! The best indian food I've EVER eaten at Ganesh in Mui Ne. It was beyond amazing. No words... Also, the Cu chi Tunnels are a most for anyone visiting Vietnam. It's both terrible and amazing...and they have really good guides.
Linda you are such a wise young woman. Some of your views really really resonate with me in addition to the fact that my mouth was watering during this ENTIRE video. OMG....the food looked lovely....want to go Vietnam now. So enjoy for me and you.
im gonna be adulting in a few months, tho im not always able to focus on videos like these - thanks to the short sized content dopamine overload, i really appreciate your videos linda, i try my best to watch them till the end. they're so good, you enjoying and forever growing, giving out little peices of yourself for us to learn and better as well, really warms my heart. each video not only pleases the soul with your awesome recordings, editing and commentary but also helps me look inside myself and love the person i see in the mirror, its all so worth it, thank you ☺️
As a Vietnamese I feel so weird watching this abroad. As I see the familiar scenery but I have not been to for so long, combining with your speech about childhood and experiences, I just cannot describe my feeling. Such a mixed feeling relating to your thought and catching up with the scene. Usually I do not like vlog in which they talk a lot as I enjoy watching more than hearing but your video hits different :) I hope you had a great time in Vietnam and thank you for sharing your exp and thought
Your videos make me cry. I don't know how to explain the feeling I feel, but I am so happy with these videos that make me feel as if I am traveling around the world with you. Inevitably, all I want is a boost of hope and happiness. I immediately turn to your channel because it is truly wonderful and you are wonderful and very special thank you soo muchhh ❤️🩹
she has been glowing so much in the recent videos, it is so amazing to see how much she has grown that is why i love getting inspired by her fro my own youtube channel, where i can also see how far i've come
Your videos make me feel a lot of emotions and makes my inner child feel seen, Thank you for being a part of my life and i will always come back to your videos, my comfort place. love you
hi linda! you have been such a big inspiration on my journey of food freedom and stepping outside my comfort zone. your editing is SO underrated and deserves more attention! ilysm
agreee her editing is so inspiring and the fact that she does it on her own as someone who also does youtube vlogs i love editing and she inspires me so much PS: so glad you are going through your food freedom journey
I have never commented here before, but today, i feel compelled.. I started watching your videos only for a few months now, and i have to say, your valunablity is very inspiring.. being a fellow Canadian, im extremely proud of how you are using this platform to teach how important it is to be your self..im much older then you, and i dont think i could let people in to my struggles the way u do, what you have learnt about life at only 23 years old, has taken me twice as long to come too...thank u ❤
this is such a wholesome message and truly agree the inspiration i get and without her i would have never had the courage to be vulnerable on my own youtube channel where i hope i can create a safe space for others
her messages always hit differently i love the combination she makes without her i would have never had the courage to start my own youtube channel where i hope to provide such a positive space for others too
I DM you a while ago about your Japan vlog. Because of your video i literally signed up to learn Japanese so I can travel there and eat all the yummy food! I’m taking part 2 of the class in August and traveling there in January. Thank you for these inspirational videos!
good luck i've always wanted to go to japan, and i hope i can go there soon but for me, travelling anywhere is always something i look forward to, and especially because i love filming travelling vlogs for my youtube channel
Hi Linda! Lately, I've been going through so much that my head is always thinking and wondering what I'm doing wrong in life, I'm overeating, I have to achieve this but how can I do it, I'm a failure and a lot more. When I work out I play your videos; it helps and comforts me. Whenever I see your post it makes me smile and all I think is that I can do it, it will be a difficult path but I can do it and if anyone else is reading this, you are not alone and can do it too no matter what. Thank you for all these videos and the effort you put into them. Love you Linda ❤
Reminder that you are not a failure and like you said u r not alone and you can do it too right now you might be in a dark period of your life, but as i always say the only constant thing in life is change, so believe that things will and can get better
You are wise beyond your years. As a 50-year-old woman who is just learning how to embrace her inner child, while allowing myself pleasures that I deprived myself of my whole life, it felt very liberating to hear you say that it’s OK to eat and I have fun. Your narration is so smart I feel you can write an absolute bestseller 😊
YESSSS- finally a new Linda video to rewatch 50 times!! No but srsly- gurl your videos are my comfort zone, they're what I put on when I'm overwhelmed and need to journal. Thank you for being there for me, for all of us
Linda, you continue to be an absolute beacon of light and hope. I love your videos so much, you inspire me to live, to love, to laugh and even to cry. sending you lots of love 💗
she is like a big sister literally and yes i love the vulnerability she shows this is why she inspires me so much to be this vulnerable on my own youtube vlogs where my goal is to help other through their healing journey at their own pace
(TW: Talking about ED's and/or disordered eating) Hi, Linda :) I've been a lurker of your channel (both your videos and shorts) for quite some time now, and though I'm only saying this now, I appreciate your videos _so_ much. After suffering from my eating disorder for the past couple of months (I've never been officially diagnosed, but after doing some research, I do believe I fall into OSED or some type of combination of several ED's) and have been completely miserable yet numb to everything regarding getting better, I've finally decided to put all of my effort into recovering at home a few days ago and trying to repair my messy life. What I hadn't realized was the amount of extreme and mental hunger I would face the moment I told myself that I would stop restricting, that I would stop counting calories and trying to reach a nonexistent low...and this hunger scared (and is still scarying) me. It feels like I'm losing my mind, that I can't possibly be hungry after eating, and yet I continuously think of food, what to eat next, or when my next meal is. It's been causing me so much stress and anxiety, and though I've never been a very emotional person (as in crying) even while I was practically starving or overworking myself, I feel like crying about all of this so often now. But your videos have served as both a comfort and a reminder to me that life without an ED and successfully recovering is so much better than living in constant stress and anxiety about a literal basic necessity. Seeing you be so free and open with foods gives me a sense of motivation to reach that peak again, and knowing that you've achieved food freedom shows me that I can do it as well (eventually, of course). I know I'll have to face all of my fear foods eventually, and that I'll have to eat _a lot_ to finally get my brain and body to trust me again, but if it means I get to live my life without guilt again, I'll do it again and again regardless of anything. So thank you, Linda. Thank you for reassuring and pushing me towards recovery, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it 💕 (P.S. As someone who's part Vietnamese, I'm glad to see someone who appreciates my culture and cuisine
omg pancakes are incredible like the fluffier, the better recently i have been experimenting with trying to find the perfect pancake recipe so i can share it on my own RU-vid channel since I've been in my cooking and baking era, I hope to share it soon 😏
Grass is Greener in the other side, what a beautiful way to explain everything, I just don't have enough words to explain how this videos had helped me, I usually try to see your videos when I need to feel reassured or I feel I need someone to understand me and this video just gave me what I needed, now I want to rest and do a lot of things to enjoy what I have, instead of worrying about the things I would like to accomplish, I would've time for that 🥰
we forget too often to live in the present focusing too much on the future something i love sharing on my own youtube channel is that the only constant thing in life is change and that the most important thing therefore is to try to live as presently as possible bc things will change
Linda, I'm going through a really hard time and I have to restart my life again at 24. Thank you for your videos. They give me hope that everything will be okay one day
hey here is a reminder that the only constant thing in life is change, as i often remind people with my youtube vlogs, life is going to change we will have periods where we will have to pivot, and that is okay because it is during this times that we can have more time to discover where we want to go
I love your vlogs so much , it fills my heart with calmness and peace with your serene voice , I have a very boring life with little to no friends and I have dreams of travelling the worlds, you give so much inner joy for me like I can watch your videos again and again and even I now I am watching your old videos. keep making this awesome content
You have such a beautiful way with words, Linda. Thanks for talking about how we should be intentional about spend our time, pick our people, and living life with no regrets as if we were to reflect at 80 years old.
so true when i look back in my life the only thing i probably will remember are does small moments surrounded by the ppl i love this is also why i love filming for my youtube channel as digital diarie of all my adventures as i try to navigate living abroad alone
I absolutely love your videos, a mix of travel and food (2 of my favorite things) but also this brilliant reflection that makes me really happy and sad and grateful all at once
oh my god Linda, Im so proud of you!! I found your channel in 2021 ( i think) and you have helped me a lot through the years. I remember to saw myself in you and you gave me force to try to overcome my anxious self and try to be better, or not worst, everyday.Just learn about my feelings and the way which it affect me. Now Im seeing you doing a trip like that, not programming every single step of it, and Im feeling like a proud young sister. So happy seeing you enjoying life! And so happy to be able to grow with you
hi linda im a Vietnamese in hanoi. 2 weeks ago, I solo traveled to Bangkok and watched your video as a guide and it helped a lot. I wish you had posted daily during your time in Hanoi. I would’ve volunteered to be your tour guide.
100% as someone who also does youtube vlogs i dont only love making them to help others but also because i can see how useful they are for me personally they allow me to reflect so much
Your videos are like a warm, tight hug from an old friend. I love the part where you explained that the grass is greener everywhere but it depends on how you see it. ✨🤍
The transition from you jumping around so happily at the sunset to possibly everything that can go wrong on that coffee visit, cracked me up 😂 i like your mindset towards healing your inner child 💜 Also, Amy seems so nice, and your foodsoulmate!! She has your energy where it concerns food!
I am so happy that I was finally able to catch up on Linda's videos!! I was having one of the worst times of this year a month ago when I saw Linda was putting videos out and I did try to watch but I knew at the time and with what I was going through I would have cried my eyes out!! I was so sad because these videos make me so happy and make me feel in a way understood!!
Omggg im Vietnamese and ive been ur fan for so long ,watching ur video really comforts me and it puts me through my binge eating LOVE UUUUU❤❤AND LOVE TO SEE YOU ENJOY MY HOMETOWN DISHES❤
the final message really makes you rethink the relationship we have with our inner child we are so mean to it but something that i've also learned by filming and doing my own youtube vlogs is the importance of being there for it and offer it some kindness because in the end we need to be our bff's cause we got ourselves for life
literally i love the travelling vlogs they are also so inspirational they are also my personal favourite to film because i get to share on my own youtube channels a whole new world
awww Linda you're my ray of sunshine. Every time I get into a funk, you upload a video and it just makes me feel better all the time :(( keep doing you and I love seeing you have fun with your friends!! Shoutout to Amy I love her now too!
Linda, you are the best and most beautiful person who is always so nice and motivational towards everyone ❤. These types of videos always make me feel better. Thank you so much Linda!!🩷✨️🌸
i agree without her i would have never started my own youtube channel and now i love helping others heal and discover their true self i could never be more grateful
These videos always are so incredibly spot on with the big feelings i deal with and putting them into words. I feel like whatever im feeling your video addresses it and gives me perspective! The part about traveling and the grass being greener was so perfectly said! Thank you for ur amazing content!!!!
I always watch your vids at least 2x, first is to just enjoy the vid and read the captions and second is to listen to your voice over cause it feels like a podcast therapy. I love your vlogs! Stay safe, Linda! Love & light 💕✨
felt like linda is being my big sister watching this vlog 🥹 not only shes showing me how beautiful the world is but also reminding me how it could also be beautiful and above all reminding me to be kinder to myself
OMG you came to my country! Just found this video and I wished that I could come across you somewhere in Hanoi :( I love your videos so much, such an inspirational and lovely person. Thank you for helping me being more grateful with my own life
