@@MarySkinner thank you for trusting us with pieces of your life!! I hope people are respectful and understand that you don’t owe us more than you’re ready to share ❤️
I’ve been trying to get off Tik tok lately and you’re one of my favorite creators and I love that you’re so active here on RU-vid now ❤❤❤❤ I feel like this platform is so much better for our mental health!
I’ve been absolutely LOVING the longer vids/more YT content recently 🤍 and I cannot wait for the pod! Your openness about the more ‘taboo’ topics is so refreshing and healing for me; especially as someone who is also moving away from the church/ deconstructing. Love and appreciate you sm Mary!
I’m so surprised people came at you for keeping your wedding private! I would do the exact same thing - I’m sure it was beautiful and the photos were incredible. Congrats on your special day! ❤
I absolutely loved this little q&a! I actually felt like I was sitting down and having an open and honest chat with a girlfriend.. I’ve found that my mental health has been suffering from tiktok big time so it’s so refreshing that you’re here on RU-vid after feeling the same way!
i found your tik tok actual years ago when you were in your first apartment and the green bralette was a staple bahaha, but i’ve actually watched your content everyday since so as a youtube girlie i’m so happy you’re making long form videos now 💌 i really feel like i’ve grown up with you over the past few years :’) 🫂
Thank you for always being wonderful and talking about and showing that you're allowed to have boundaries as an influencer, we are not entitled to every little thing in your private life. I am quite grateful for what you do choose to share and for you being genuine and open. You're helping people have conversations that need to happen and showing that you can have obstacles and still manage to have an adult life and get things done, even if it's just getting out of bed and looking presentable. You're a strong gorgeous woman and you show others they can be where they are and be having obstacles and still just take your dreams and manifest them and discover them too. Thank you.
I have missed seeing you on my Tiktok feed, but I actually love this format! I'm not sure if you have recently, but I would love to see an updated makeup routine because you look fantastic. So happy about your wedding too xx
Thanks for always being open, honest, and vulnerable Mary. Love your content & happy to see you living your life 🎉 congrats on the wedding and marriage!!! Love that you kept it private ❤
I was so sad when you were stepping back from tiktok but I love this style of content so much more!!! You seem so comfortable and it’s so enjoyable watching these longer videos ❤
Regarding hook up phase: it didn’t give me anything aside from graffitied now that I found my forever person. Gratitude I may not have if I didn’t go through that phase.
i'm loving this content! when you said you get sort of flashbacks that make it hard to be in the moment i felt that, but i feel like no one ever talks about it! thank u for your advocacy and transparency🤍
Love the YT content! I deleted tik tok as well, I hope more creators follow your lead and prioritize their own mental health over views and money. You’re super authentic and it’s refreshing ❤
I am Canadian and my partner is Scottish as well! I have lived in Scotland the last couple years and now we are here so that he can experience Canada for a couple years as well. Scotland has my heart and his as well - so I absolutely hear and understand you on the family side of things. Its hard feeling like youre missing so many milestones and experiences while living abroad - but what gets me by is the excitement for new memories and experiences with HIS family and following the dream I have had for years. Scotland feels like home, and youre right - my family would be gutted if we decided to stay here just for comfort of being closer and missing out on dreams/adventures!! If we find ourselves in Scotland around the same time, I would love to get together! Its where we want to set our roots but its definitely a HUGE change from North American life. I am so excited for you and Matt and this journey you are on!! Never apologize for following your dreams and doing what makes your heart happy. Everything else will fall into place.
Thank you so much for making this video. It was so helpful! I am going through the medication/libido issues and this made me feel so much better. Keep being open and honest! We need more videos like this! ❤
The desire thing is sooooo tricky. The irony about birth control (at least hormonal) is that it often kills your sex drive. So it's like "great I can't get pregnant but now I also don't even want to have sex which would lead to pregnancy." I personally struggle with the fact that I have been on BC for so long and throughout my entire sex life that I don't even know what my "normal" desire level is. Luckily BC is the only drug I have to contend with, but it's still so tricky.
I know birth control is so personal but thank you for sharing what you are on! I just was prescribed the same bc as you after suffering from too much estrogen in my birth control!! Makes me feel better ❤️
I say it every video but I’m seriously so happy you’re more active on RU-vid now 🥹🩷 I love vlogs but also this type of video is so nice to watch & feels like chatting to a friend 🫶🏼 would you mind sharing the name of the birth control you’re on? I missed the name and I’m just curious because I’m looking for a low estrogen pill as well and would love to run it by my doctor.
Re:libido on meds - yes to everything you're saying! I also have let go of the idea that sex is linear. When I stopped thinking about orgasms and how sex would end, getting more into the moment (which isn't always easy on meds, but gets easier as you try it) and the sensations of the moment, I had a better time with my partner.
Hi! I’m the one who submitted the advice question about my best friend liking the same guy as me. To answer a few of your follow-up questions, yes, she did know I liked him, and yes, I had even been talking to him for a little bit(but nothing super serious). She came up to me and basically said “Hey, I’m sorry but I like the same guy as you.” I was honestly just shocked at first but eventually she and I agreed that we wanted to keep our friendship and that neither of us would pursue our feelings. But then, she started talking to him more and eventually they ended up dating and our friendship kind of faded out. I miss her, but I think in the end, liking the same guy was kind of more of the catalyst of the end but not the cause.
honestly. you’re better off now. I’m so sorry that happened, but clearly this was a friendship that wasn’t right anyway. I hope you’re doing better now 🤍 that sucks!!!
To add to the stories of sex on meds - I'm on an anti-depressant that kills my ability to orgasm and it's definitely a challenge but your tips are so good! My libido itself isn't *gone* necessarily, sex just takes a lot more time and intention which can be frustrating for sure. Also, I put this in my pocket on a walk so in a way you already have a podcast :)
