Hey everyone. There are so many comments on here that mean a ton to me. I can't respond to every single one, but I want you to know that I read them, and that they stay with me. Thank you for letting me share with you, and for sharing parts of yourself with me in return.
Hadn't realized you made this, Heather person :( 'tis a story spell of emotional puppetry x^o ARRGH! Cut the strings! I want to be a real boy again! lol Like many, I guessing, when I heard about the monster my first thoughts were, "How dare that Asshat harm the precious!" *look at sword on the wall* my brethren, sistren, and I will slay all such Asshatians! Especially ones that masquerade as pine trees for camouflage!" You've got much love from us, Heather person. Thanks for sharing with us.. *flops around on strings* I randomly give you a made up thing, the Kind and Evermore Rewarding Person of Other Worldiness!!! award, The KERPOW!!! award. You are KERPOW. Gotta love the word KERPOW. Peace and stay warm, weirdo =P
I may have just discovered you but I'm so happy and sad and all sorts of other things about this video. It relaxed me and let me reflect. It's let me think about some things about my past and what I want to do with my future. Thank you so much for sharing this about you! (also subscribed!)
Wow. That was so beautiful. Some parts were sad, some parts were happy, some parts made me mad and others made me want to hug you. I love this so much, and I love the effort you put into every video and every plan you make for us. Thank you so, so much.
This is the greatest Draw My Life of all time. I hope you're well. You've overcome SO much! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing so much with us.
how do you remember all these details? I'm 15 and I've forgotten some of the stuff I did on last years holiday nevermind what I did when I was six. ...
+Joof I think she said in another video that she has "elephant's memory" so I assume she remembers more than average human being. Maybe some stories were repeated by her family&friends over the years too. I don't remember many details from my chlidhood either.
I am sincerely glad the videos help you. Thank you for your service. The videos will always be here for you, and I hope things get better for you everyday.
So much pain in one life. Brought a tear to my eye. But those lives who have been miserable just makes their happy moments even more special. Great video Heather. So glad your life is good now.
I never wld have guessed you had come from such hardship since you are such a genuinely warm and nice person. you must be as strong a person as they come to turn out so nice as you are! :)
It is 4:32am and I NEVER comment on youtube (my last comment was probabally over 3 years ago), but after watching this I just had to. You are my favourite ASMR artist and i love the way your personality shines through in your videos. I heard about you making a "draw my life" from another video and decided to watch it. It made me tear up an incredible amount, you are an amazing person and your subscribers truly do love you in return. You are helping so many people including me and I hope you continue to make videos for a long time.
i used to read during class, I would try to hide the 700 pages long Harry Potter book under the table... I got caught a lot but kept reading during class. thank god I have a good auditive memory, so my marks were always high even when I didn't pay attention to the teacher. Heather, you are the loveliest person I've ever seen. thank you so much for helping me sleep every single night. I don't know what would I do without your amazing videos. thanks you so much! take care ❤
Heather, you are honestly the nicest youtuber/asmr artist I have ever seen and it seems hard to believe you are so kind to others after most of the people in your life have not been very kind to you :( you are so talented with what you do and I am so happy to see you have come so far with your youtube channel - you totally deserve all of it and more!!! hugs and kisses xxxx
i cried at "it was worth it". you know, when you said that dude whom you loved very much started doing drugs and disappeared eventually, it's very possible someone who i was once very close with feels the exact same way and that is so sad. :'( i guess i never really thought about it that way, but it's exactly what happened.
Thank you for your kind words---you will get past this chapter in your life one day. It might not be easy, but it'll happen, and you are a strong person for being able to endure it. Remember that it's temporary, and you have wonders and happiness awaiting you in the future, even if it doesn't feel like it now.
I hope you’re doing well Heather! Your health should always be a priority and the fact that I’ve had so many years to watch this channel grow is simply amazing ❤️
"Not to make things complicated but I like you." - "Cool." I laughed so hard I think my neighbours heard me. And the Batman thing of course xD Apart from that, all I want to say is thank you for your trust, it's not easy to share such stories with other people, especially not with the public. You are a very strong person and you've come quite a long way to who you are today.
I've watched your videos almost from the beginning and so I've seen this before but it's one I always come back to if I've had a rough day as it is so uplifting. I rarely watch a video more than once and I struggle to be triggered from the same content but this to me is more than an ASMR video as it is inspirational and an honor to hear about the tough times you got through to become the person you are today. Well done for all you have achieved Heather and thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos.
Heather this video is amazing! There is such a raw honesty in the way you communicate. You have a great gift which goes beyond asmr. Thanks for being so real xo
This was really inspiring. I'm in a bit of a bad place right now in my life where I'd love to find 'that thing' which gives me the sort of happiness that these videos give to you. Even though I still don't know what it is I feel like I came just a bit closer to it by watching and listening to your story.
It's amazing to hear your story, thank you so much for sharing Heather. I think it's fantastic the way you stuck up to bullies and I admire you so much for it. I'm sorry that you had so many sad times in your life but I think I speak for everyone when I say we're so proud of you and what you have achieved! You're an amazing person and we all appreciate you so much
Only stumbled upon this today. It's always been obvious from your videos that you have a wisdom beyond your years. Now it makes a lot more sense where a lot of that wisdom comes from. I love the way you do stuff. What a character!
Amazing! This isn't a bedtime story! Bedtime stories are supposed to take you to bed, not keep you awake! Not going into the merit of the story itself - which is great, not argueable - I felt like the old lady in Forrest Gump, letting the bus go away over and over again, just watching and watching, more and more. Don't think I ever wrote a comment in youtube, but thought I should leave this one!
This was such a fantastic story Heather. I've had a couple monsters in my home as well so I can relate. Thank you for sharing this. I feel like I know you a little bit better and that means the world to me!
I have watched a lot of your videos over the past year but have never caught this one. You are such a kind soul thank you for everything you do. It means so much.
Heather. I have listened to alot of draw m lifes and none of those can resemble what you have gone through. We are all proud of you. You made so many right and just decicions. You are an amazing person, truly, you are. And i dont want to mixy story into this but i have had somewhat same process as you did, only i made all the wrong decicions but am standing tall today. Abd hearing your story.. made me realize how much of a strong, indipendant (i think so :P) and a complete breathtaking person. You kept all of your importants safe and sound, gone through so much shit but you're still here today. I am so proud (dont mean to sound like a father.. i am only 18 tho xD) of you and keep up your amazing life and keep your head up high. We are so proud :D Ps: at 23:00 something when you said "...cuz im batman". I couldnt sleep and it was 1:44 in the night and i bursted out laughing and woke everyone in the house xD thanks for cracking me up :D it was worth it :P
I have been watching you for a while now (2 years?..more?.. ) and i just now stumbled across this video. Can't believe I had never seen this. You have DEEPLY touched my heart. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story and your beautiful talent with us :) don't ever leave us..
Heather, it was an absolute privilege to hear your story. I'm sorry that you went through so many hard times, but I'm happy for you that things have become so much better. You're my favorite person, and I'm very grateful to know someone as good and kind and amazing as you, even if it is only through RU-vid. Thank you for everything you do.
I know what you mean about the advanced reading thing, I was in first grade I had JUST learned how to read when I was like,"these books are too easy." so my teachers said ok pick any book from the shelf. And I picked a Goosebumps book . I finished it after a few days and they were like,"woah." ever since then I've been in the highest Language Arts class level.
this was so cool to hear about your life. You seemed like you would have been such a good friend to people in school (well, you seem like you'd be a good friend now as well). I'm lucky enough to have a friend who acts as kind of a "protector" in a way and it's such a strong trait to have.
This video made me realize the monster in my life really isn't as much of a monster as I thought. I also realized that everything I've gone through has only made me stronger. I feel like I know what my calling is, and I have the "urge" to do it. But it's difficult and time consuming. I've always doubted myself and thought that I can't do it. Seeing this video and seeing how much you've achieved and what has happened in your life, I know that the only limits are the ones that I set for myself. I'm going to take risks and I'm going to change because of you. I've had a lot of idols. Many were made up characters , some were real people. But none have inspired me more than you, especially after watching this video. From this moment on I'm going to just let it happen. Let the person I project, and the person I protect merge into one. I'm sick of broken dreams. I'm sick of pretending. I'm sick of being someone I'm not. I feel like my life is way more clear. So... thanks for everything! :) Here's to letting it happen....
I don't usually watch these "Draw My Life" type videos, but I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, so when I saw this one on the list I decided to check it out. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I know I wasn't expecting...that. You've had a lot of sadness in your life, and you've managed to overcome a lot of terrible incidents. I'm glad things have gotten so much better for you in your life, and I know they will continue to do so. I feel that the majority of the failures and roadblocks that I have come across in my life have been a result of over thinking things, and worrying about the potential negative outcomes of doing them; so I can definitely relate to the notion of "just go[ing] with it." Whenever I do, things just almost always seem to go drastically smoother. You've told a very touching story here, and I'd like to thank you for being willing to share it with us. Also, you doodle very well. =P
I've never enjoyed a draw my life as I have this one. I watch your videos about every night and they never fail to help me fall asleep! You have a calm beautiful voice and I've had that trouble where I would not be able to fall asleep especially when I started high school and started dealing with personal issues and despite my perseverance after high school I would still lay awake for hours and just not for the life of me be able to sleep peacefully. Growing up I taught myself to picture a black board and not let thoughts come to mind so I could fall asleep better but with no avail until I found these asmr videos, through needle felting videos actually but your videos are the ones I've stuck to because they help so much! Thank you for making them and helping others fall asleep better just as you've helped me :) this is actually the first video I stayed up listening to because it was touching so I'll just go watch another one and I hope your life continues to be a happy one :)
Heather, this was an remarkable video to both see and hear. My Dad who was possibly the greatest person I have ever known aside from my wife always would tell my brother and I that “You will never have more than you can handle, there is always a way, it is just up to you to find it. You will have to deal with things that would break other people but they were put in your path to make you a stronger person for yourself and for those you will encounter”. And I am glad to see that it holds true for other people in this insane world we live in, life presents challenges you can either let them knock you down and stay down or get up and fight your way against the current. As long as you’re true to yourself and those around you, life will be full of love and happiness. Plus it’s always nice to come out at the front of the pack after you have had people trying to put you down for most of your life, kind of like a “Hey you gave it your best, I gave it mine, guess who won” a genuine one finger salute. Thank you for sharing this will all of us.
I know what your talking about with the reading, I was reading Harry Potter in the first grade. even now in grade 7 everyone is always amazed about how fast I read. I don't skim either, I read the whole book and understand them.
Yeah I read that 800 pg Harry Potter book in one weekend and everyone thought I was skimming and wouldn't pass the test but then I was the only person in the class to get an 100 and one of the only two to get above a 90%
it's been 8 years but I just want to say you amaze me because you're so strong. I've never had monsters in my life but still struggled so much, and here you are surviving and thriving and still being so kind to everyone and making our lives better :) thank _you_ Heather, I'm glad to have found your channel
I told my friends that I was a magical dragon in the form of a human that could control the weather, and when we went outside I would raise my hand when I thought the wind was about to blow and when it did, they all freaked out 😂
There is beauty in suffering. I think your life reflects that. like john green says: pain demands to be felt. there is just no other way to the other side. thank you for your work. Im a new fan of ASMR because of you, i was skeptical, and even weirded out at first, but its very hard to fake entusiasm and love for what you do, Its truly refreshing to see someone genuinely enjoy making others happy
I was lonely my whole entire life and I still am, I don't have any friends because I'm shy and weird I hate the fact that I stay home the whole entire day doing nothing just my dog and I 😪
the way you did the intro was exquisite. i loved hearing about your name. it reminds me of some creative writing pieces i have read. as a writer myself, i appreciate that.
What a great story of your life I enjoyed it very much and wanted to say so. I am glad you kept doing the videos because they mean a lot to me and definitely help me sleep when I have a hard time sleeping. I will most likely never meet you in person. This may sound silly but I feel like I have made a new friend even though you are just a person on the internet. Thank you so much ☺
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched/listened to. Thought I'd take a peek at a few of your older videos and found this gem. Thank you for sharing this, it shows how special you are. :D
Amazing video my lovely #Heather Feather I loved your video you are strong girl and you are one of those people that as soon as you look into there eyes you can just tell that they are a good person and your life story is probably one of the most open and touching videos!!!!!! And Late Merry Christmas and Happy new year :D Have a good (Morning,Evening,or Night from me CaptainTeemo09 stay strong as always :D
CaptainTeemo09 Heather Feather ASMR As someone who finds eye contact, the most wonderfully daunting thing possible. I was going to say the same thing. This video certainly explains a lot about how Heather became a superhero. Oh & btw, my childhood trials & tribulations also led me towards a world of cartoons & cartooning ... Heather is a WAY better speed drawer than me though.
Your hobby helped me to sleep w/o chemical assistance, which in turn helped me to maximize my income potential, AND simultaneously be the father my kid needed. We used your vids to make ourselves sleepy regularly. He's 20 now! Just keep in mind the good you've done.❤❤❤❤❤
My only question is why did your mom keep such a man (stepdad) in her life if he was so cruel to you? My mom married someone else after my dad who was so cruel to me that after a year she divorced him. I won't say it was right/wrong what your mom did--I won't judge, I just will say that my mom told this guy he wasn't going to treat us like that. Not judging your mom, just think you're worth more than that--as I'm sure you know.
I really must agree too. I've watched this thing several times and I become quite unnerved. It's like watching Leo's very neglectful mother in This Boys Life. This video was enough to lead me to Islam (almost) genuflecting and prostrating in the sun, looking at my hands unswervingly with the gift from Allah -- normal parents who were not from California.
+Dark Seraphim sometimes it's almost impossible to get away from someone like that because they are so controlling and sometimes they have a hold on that person so if they leave they'll do something really bad. who know's though
I just wanted to say thank you for what you have done. Seeing other people happy is really one of the only things that helps me. I spend a lot of time feeling pretty sad and unwanted, and people like you are the ones who really help me out. Your constant happiness is one of those things that inspires me to catch it too. Just thanks again for all that you have done, because just being who you are is one of the greatest things to me.
hey heather, thanks so much for sharing your story. i could relate a lot to your struggles, and i'm really grateful that a person like you has come from the brokenness of this world. i haven't been able to get over my asmr immunity for a while now, but i still stop by your channel because you just emanate joy and love. thanks again for sharing your gifts with us!
I loved this so much... what you have gone through at home, is similar to what I am going through now, and have been going through since my birth. I, too, have a monster that I hide from. And all my life I've struggled to deal with it, and struggled with making friends. I've moved twice, the second time leaving my 'soul mate' behind.. It took so long, nearly a year I've been in this new place. but finally, I've never been happier. I have the best friends anyone could have, a giant group of both guys and girls. My closest friends being the buddies of my boyfriend of two months, that I love dearly, and he too, feels the same. I am at the age where I am beginning to see my hidden beauty I have never thought I could posses. If you are going through a tough time; it WILL get better. Yes, it sucks, and yes, it takes a long, long time in some cases. And yes, some times you are pinned to the ground with no escape but to wait it out. But the feeling of pure ecstasy is the best feeling in the entire world. And it is worth anything this world has to offer.
I listen to you while I sleep....and you help me forget some of the things that are troubling from the past. You have no idea how big of a deal you mean to me, thank YOU for everything.
I absolutely adore you as a person. I am currently 17 and so far, my life has been a lot like yours which is very calming to know that you've been there too. Thank you Heather. I love you!!
this video is so good for me. I'm currently going through a lonely phase in my life in college because I decided to move to New York, away from my girlfriend and family and it reminds me of all the times in my life before where I had no close friends. I'm inspired and I want to get better
You are a great storyteller. I'm happy you are happy, and I wish that language didn't fall so short at times like this, but thank you for doing these videos. I love you.
Wow, that video! I just want you to know that video touched me, as I had similar trials and tribulations growing up. You have truly inspired me, to see someone go through what you had too, and still come out as awesome as you have...it gives me such strength!!! I wish I had a friend like you in my life!
