I'm leaving Booktube 

I had to scale back watching booktube because it stopped me from actually reading real books. I understand how time consuming and even obsessive it can become. Best wishes to you and your husband.

BookTube is definitely time consuming. You will certainly be missed. 😊💙

Hello Anne, I just found your channel. I am a professional artist. I just wanted to let you know that as an artist there are moments I love a piece dearly and I gave it my all...and it hasn't gained the traction I hoped. Then there are pieces that weren't my personal favorites and they are dearly loved by the masses. The point is create what you love. Art and life are both subjective. Follow your dreams and don't worry about the count. I can tell you the 50 people who enjoyed it got way more out of it than you realize. Enjoy what moves you. Stay true to you. Wishing you all good things.

Anne, Darn, I just discovered you this morning and browsed through some of your videos. awesome. I'm 80 years old and my wife and I watch several book tubers each morning-mostly Michael k Vaughn and Steve Donoghue. Sometimes CriminOlly but eliminated most. You're genre isn't what I mostly read but you have some good ideas and honest opinions- that's important. I discovered book tube by searching for ideas of good books to read a year ago. Lots of people will miss you . Hope you come back!

I will miss you Anne. You were certainly one of my favorites (not to make you feel badly about leaving but telling you how appreciated you were by one viewer). God bless and keep you.

Sorry to hear this. Hope everything goes well.... I always loved watching your videos and in particular your book reviews are just amazing. Honesty speaking you are the most finest mind I've ever seen. Stay healthy, Stay happy...😊

Gosh, that's so sad to hear, I discovered your channel a few hours ago randomly while searching for books+creativity videos and binge watched on some of them. I really liked your mellow, sweet personality and reading taste. Hope you can come back soon. Best of luck in your real life endeavors. ❤

Oh 😢 I literally teared up cause you are a favorite. And I tagged you next Tuesday and I’m not editing that out- just take it as love ❤ I won’t ever unsubscribe so feel free to mood post whenever just to check in- especially if you continue developing your own writing and medieval studies! You will be missed and I do totally get what you are saying. I went from 2-3 videos a week to averaging one a week and it makes me happy. We do what we need to do. Thanks for all you have done and sending lots of love. ❤️

Totally understand sister! It’s tough to keep up! ❤ Blessings to you!

I’ll miss you and your videos. I hope everything in your life goes well and that your future endeavors bring you joy! 💕

I'm new to your channel and I love watching your content. I understand the reasons you gave as to why being on the booktube is challenging. Feeling pressure to comment and watch or the disillusionment of people who use to comment, but have just stopped, is a real fear. Taking a step back is always a great thing. Spending time to take care of your mental health plus deciding what new direction you want for your channel, is part of the process. Just know I for one will be here when you do return💕☺️

I'm really sorry to hear this, we will miss you. I'm glad you enjoyed doing this while you did.

So sorry to see you go! I completely understand. It is definitely demanding and takes a lot more time than I anticipated before starting my channel.

I've been here for six years, and I've seen how I will go through times of not watching any booktube for months and then binging a bunch and it can be very discouraging. But I've learned to see value in seeing my channel as more of a treasure chest of my own memories but it's hard to wire it away from affirmation. I've been a more occasional watcher but I've always liked listening to your thoughts and I hope if it feels right you will return. ❤

I will really miss you, Anne. And I can see your point of view. ❤ Take care of yourself. Sending all the good vibes your way. 😊 If you ever return, I’ll be absolutely overjoyed.

I absolutely go through times of watching no Booktube or hardly any and then I feel bad that I’m not commenting. Sorry to hear you are leaving, I will miss your videos and your comments. I’ll look out for your Instagram posts to stay in touch. I hope all goes well with your life things, saving up for a house is hard. You are doing what is best for you and that is what is important. I can’t believe I’ve not seen your lovely creative Jane Austen vlog, I’ll be watching that now. Some of my absolute favourite videos are ones I’ve loved making and they’ve not done well but I’m happy I made them anyway. All the best, Anne, you will be missed. I hope it goes well with reading all of your TBR- I’m rooting for you! 💛

I just want to thank you for the consistently interesting and thoughtful videos, and wish you all the very best!

I came across your channel today while looking for reviews on David Copperfield. I loved your review, right on my alley! I will be looking for other postings from you and certainly will miss you. Now you touched a sensitive cord with your sawing addition as part of immersing yourself into the character’s life. I am an avid sewer and I get my inspiration from everything around me. But everything you said is true and you should take time in your life for what matters for you at that time. You should be very proud of this journey! Good luck with everything you will do in the future.

All very valuable points. You are right, booktube can be very time consuming. Thank you for making a wonderful channel and sharing it with all of us. You will be missed. Take care, Anne! 🌸

We'll miss you Anne! ❤❤ I wish you all the best!

Thank you for the closure video. I agree that being part of this awesome community of readers, it's very tempting to get sucked in. I love to watch my favorite content providers, and I love to hear about books pitched that I will add to my TBR. As much as I feel close to my favorite content providers, I also know that they are really just "imaginary friends." I also realize that trying to read all the interesting books, I've put real life activities aside. While that might work well all winter long while the weather is cold and roads are icy, the lack of motivation beyond binge watching book tubers and trying to squeeze in of few actual books has taken over my summer activities and my flower gardens look like how I feel, unexercised. I haven't gone out to find friends in real life. Booktube, I realize has become my drug. I too, as a follower, need to find balance. A new video even just once a month among ALL the content providers, or even just a teaser video with a list of book recommendations or a poll or just a stats of your life balance in the description would be appreciated. You might consider setting up patreon account so that your followers can show their appreciation with a tip.

I had never come across your channel until this morning but appreciated what you had to say. I just recently started watching book tube videos. I think your idea of combining your thoughts on books with sewing and cooking projects sounds very interesting. I myself could never do a booktube video and I wondered how the whole thing worked. Thank you for your video and all the best to you.

Anne, I have been having similar issues with the amount of time it takes to keep up with everything on here, so I’ve just been getting very behind and burying my head in the sand about it because to try and watch everything is just so stressful. Particularly recently when I have been selling my house and having a huge amount of work. You and I started around the same time and I love the community aspect but the time it takes is a lot. I will miss you on here (you might wonder as I’ve barely watched anything recently, but it’s true - when I have time, I love watching your videos) but I think it is really healthy to reflect on how it makes you feel to be on here. I checked out on Instagram before Christmas for exactly these reasons (and also called it an indefinite hiatus on my profile!) I hope we cross paths on here or within the bookish community again at some point! I wish you every happiness. PS I remember your beauty and the beast video very well.

I'm a new subscriber and I'm sad to see you go, but also totally understand the decision! It's a huge commitment, even just watching youtube cuts into my reading time and I've had to cut back. I'll be going through your past videos though and looking forward to them!

I'll miss your videos but it sounds like this is best for you! Thanks for all the content you've made us :)

I love your channel and will miss your videos, but I totally understand. Keeping up with it all is really hard. Enjoy your time away, and don't be a stranger:)

So sorry to see you go. I've been on a booktube hiatus so I'm a little behind as I'm back today. Great points and I hope that it is a hiatus for you and to see you back xx

Oh wow, I’m a fairly new subscriber I only just found your channel a month ago. It’s really hard to find bootubkers who read such a wide variety of books. I understand though. There is no reason to do something if you no longer love it. I wish you all the best and even if you feel like returning somewhere down the line 5,10 years from now we’ll be here! All the best ❤

Anne, I was choked up listening to your farewell. I will miss you and our wonderful conversations! I'll be praying for your house savings to get back on track quickly. Car troubles can be very frustrating. I'm so sorry. I definitely understand that creating RU-vid content takes up a ridiculous amount of time. It's exactly why I haven't had a channel. My husband thought I should start a book, prayer or art channel but I have no idea how any of you find the time on top of work, life family and stress to make an edit videos. Superheroes in disguise? I always marvel at how much effort you put into the channel and it's been such a blessing and a joy getting to know you ❤ and to share a love of books 📚 I understand the feeling of abandonment well. My husband is military and we move every few years. It's really hard and so exhausting starting over with friends and also trying to keep track of family and friends long distance. That's actually what I've been doing the past few weeks. I came up to MI from DC so I could celebrate Easter and mother's day with my extended family. So I've been MIA on social comments. I've also been spending a great deal of time discerning and researching Catholicism and church history in depth thanks to you and your book recommendations❤️ and I've been watching Pints with Aquinas and the Coming home network. While I'm here my uncle is going to take me to talk with his priest and they're trying to get my book into the local Catholic school curriculum. Which is such an unexpected opportunity and I'm indescribably grateful they're willing to consider it. Anyhow, I wanted to let you know because you were the first person to share my book on RU-vid. That meant so much to me and I'm so grateful for your generosity and all of your encouragement! 🫂📚❤️

That's a real shame Anne I may not always comment but I certainly watch your videos. I'm glad you'll still be part of the Black Hearts Book Club so I'll see you there. I've certainly been in two minds about this too hence my hiatus everything you say definitely resonates with me. Hopefully you'll return someday but I'll catch you in the 🖤 book club. Thanks for all your videos.

Totally understand!! We will miss you.

Awww. I’ll miss you! ♥️ With that said, I understand having to make changes to media usage.

This showed up on my home page and I just want to say I definitely get this. It is really time consuming and I feel like there is always so much pressure to constantly reading books and creating.

Ah, Anne, I will miss you and your gorgeous dog! But I’m pleased that you are doing what is right for you at this time in your life. Take care! X 🥰📚

This is the first video I have seen from you. I plan on watching your previous videos! I understand what you are saying and I didn’t realize how much work goes into it until you talked about it. I hope you have a wonderful life and things improve financially! Peace and God Bless :) 🤗🤗🤗 And keep reading for fun!

Omg. Say it aint so, Anne!! So these past two weeks I noticed your absence. I kept checking your channel thinking youtube screwed up and that my notifications weren’t working. I missed you. I even went to your Instagram to see if you were active on there and saw that you were so just figured you were busy. This is how much a part of my week you are! I love watching your channel and will miss you dearly. It’s funny because I see in Mary’s comment that she saw the sewing video, but not the Beauty and the Beast one and it’s the opposite for me. I loved the beauty and the beast episode and was so into it. I definitely understand everything you are saying. It can become frustrating. I always wanted to start a booktube channel, it was a dream of mine and I was lucky enough to find the perfect partner. Well, I just want you to know that a hole will now be left in booktube that can never be filled. I’m just going to have to start watching your old videos now so I don’t have to miss you LOL. Take care, friend! 😭

I understand. I've been here two and a half years as well and oftentimes feel stressed. I am 72, so I'm questioning too. I love the community and my friends here. So, for now, I'm here. Good luck and Aloha.

Man, I totally relate to that too because I also moved a lot as a kid. My dad was in construction and in the military. I have moved from Oregon to Colorado back to Oregon to Iowa, back to Oregon back to Iowa to Maryland and now my current state I live in. And while we're in Oregon, we had another couple moves while being an Oregon as well. And when you do move nobody stays in contact with you and it is very traumatizing to have a friendship and then they just don't stay in contact because you're another state and you're always in a new state trying to make new friends knowing you're only going to be there for a year or two and it's really hard to have that kind of security. And I feel like bookstagram and booktube is very similar feeling as well. Because even though I have some followers, the interactions are slimmed and none. Even when I ask different questions of how's your week going? What did you think about this book? If you read it, are you interested in reading it, etc? There's never any interactions that always feels like a long distance friendship and it's kind of depressing. And that's why I really stopped with my interactions altogether and just post my reviews so that I remember which books I've read and which ones I dealt and so I don't reread a book. I don't want to reread because I forgot that I've already read it😅

Hi. Just stumbled on your video. I am thinking of starting a booktube and I feel truly understand (without even having started) that this could take a whole lot of time. Especially having to be active in watchining others and making your own voice heard on others channel. As you see here I am doing exactly that. Anyway Good luck. One needs pauses in life sometimes to reevaluate.

We support you and are grateful your all of your past videos! You can always return in a slower pace and we would love to just get updates on your reads and recommendations. Cheers!

Sorry you are closing right when I started watching ! RU-vid algorithm sucks and I tell from my past experience with a channel I almost abandoned after struggling to even elevate at 200 subscribers after three years of posting well edited and I say..interesting videos. YT recommending me channels I want nothing to do with, creators/ influencers trying to sale a brand or other. Whatever I post is not for YT anymore ..is just for me and 1 or 2 others. YT can make money from advertising on my videos, but it can help me grow. I love reading and many a times have no idea what I should read but I make a thorough research on the books I chose and care a lot for what sort of life those writers lead before I will open a book written by anyone. Congratulations on having and caring for a family! God bless you and help you save for a home!

Yes, all of these things. I've been thinking about it too.

Oh man, I totally get all of this! I think I would feel burned out and stunted if I only did bookish content… Even though it’s sad that you’re leaving the content creation aspect, I’m glad you won’t be disappearing altogether! 💖

I have always enjoyed your videos but I totally understand. Peace be with you 🙏🏼

Oh, dear! I have just discovered you and love the way you talk so openly about your doubts and joys. I shall definitely look out the video on the home-made JA dress. I find watching women sewing so soothing and restful, even though I myself am male and only just about able to sew a button on in half an hour or even longer. I think it is inevitable that deeper, more complex videos attract fewer views. People just don't seem interested in profound, important things. On the other hand people from a different YT community might suddenly discover your JA video and it might get hundreds, if not thousands of new admirers. I hope we'll see you back again before too long.

If it is not fun anymore, there is no reason to continue to pursue a hobby. But you will be missed! I hope that you do end up coming up (at least for end of year TBR update haha

Anne!! Oh Anne!! I had so many responses as I was listening to you. I get it. It’s a lot to keep up with. You DEFINITELY put a lot in to your videos and watching/commenting. If it means anything- Joe and I always felt so supported by you. We felt like you were our number one fan and we often marveled that you had the time to watch so many of our videos. You are right- there’s a lot out there and it takes a lot of time. It’s good that you are looking at what’s right for you and stepping back to reduce stress and allow yourself to put those hours towards something else in your life. If it’s cumbersome and less fun, there’s no reason to push and not be enjoying it. I loved the video where you made a dress- I totally remember that one! I didn’t watch ur beauty and the beast one tho. I hear ya on all the work and then the low views. We did a “movie” of Graceling series and it was soooo much editing!! Crazy hours went into that and then we loved it so much but it just didn’t perform well. So yeah, that’s rough. I think what helps me keep going is to laugh off the low numbers and just enjoy the time with my book bud! Idk if I could stick it out being solo. As long as Joe keeps making me laugh, I’ll stick around for making content 😂 I’ll miss you Anne! Best of luck to you! And maybe we will see you around again sometime! 💕

I will really miss you. Your channel has been fantastic.

Such a shame, but I fully understand your reasons. The very best of luck to you and thank you for your posts. Very much appreciated. Take care.

Yes, all true. It is time consuming for sure. The pressure of trying to find time to record, edit, watch, read, while I have a full time job, husband, 2 pets, a house to clean, AND trying to finish writing this memoir... it is a lot. Your subscribers (you have a LOT!) will watch whenever you post.

Oh you covered a lot of topics that could turn into their own discussions. Just found you today (congrats on writing a book I plan to watch your newest upload next) but you seem so honest in your videos with a more “niche” and organic taste. Don’t be afraid to branch out! The sewing and cooking videos would be lovely. In a time where media pushes a “need” to min and max content, it’s hard to find a brand. Life interconnects so tightly, where do interests and hobbies begin and end in their own little boxes? These thoughts come from wanting to start my own channel, but I have an interest in reviewing cookbooks and homesteading books, as well as cooking and getting kids into history and culture with media as a foot in the door. I don’t really expect to make money and have the channel be a passion project. But do I make a separate channel for homesteading books and cooking and make my classics separate? Do my Animal Crossing or say, kransekake for a Disney Frozen party go elsewhere? Or pile it all on one channel alongside botanical illustration videos? I don’t write all of that expecting a dialogue, it’s just to illustrate that you aren’t alone in the quest to find balance between creating, watching, and “branding”. Booktube is beautiful and creative and communal. But if we aren’t careful, it can cause the anxiety and loss of time that’s a common theme in these comments. Your work is great and appreciated even if the numbers aren’t what are contemporarily thought of as “making it.” Go with your heart and anything you create in the appropriate seasons of your life will be appreciated here. It’s strange to think that someone could find you in one day and get to “know you” in a short amount of time from watching your archive, but you do seem so nice and genuine. I wish you the best in your future endeavors, and hope your passions bring you fulfillment!

Noooo how is this the first video I’ve found of yours? 😭 that’s not fair lol. I totally understand though. I have considered starting a booktube channel but I never did it because I was scared of some of the issues you touched on. I figured that if I ever did try it, my channel would have to be VERY low maintenance. Anyway, best wishes and I’ve subscribed just in case you ever return.

Congratulations. Social media is too time consuming. Generally, I have noticed that many folks make content just for views..The tags get ridiculous. I have enjoyed meeting you and your channel was great. De-stress, relax and move forward. You will be fine. My best to you and hubby.

That's a shame. But thanks for at least announcing it. People often disappear and I'm left wondering if they are okay or even still alive.

It’s so hard to get into a rhythm with booktube! I have weeks where i finish a bunch of books all at once and that week’s video is overstuffed, or weeks where I’m still in the middle of stuff and I don’t have much to talk about. And I have other hobbies too! I think it’s smart to build wiggle room into your channel so you can try different types if content.

Hi i just started my adventure in this world and I am hopeful of making some success, but I can absolutely respect anyone who makes different choices, just enjoy whatever it is you do.

I love the way you talk. I hope you come back soon. Hugs from Spain 💚

This video of yours is the first one RU-vid has pushed to me, but I will have a look at your channel list and see what others may interest me. That said congrats on your marriage and I wish you good will and happiness.

Very interesting. I've been thinking about creating a Booktube channel (under a different account name). But if I do, I will be very careful with my branding so as not to fall into this sort of trap of doing types of videos I don't want to do and feeling obligated to watch other channels I wouldn't otherwise watch out of a sense of reciprocity. It sounds like it could definitely be overwhelming.

I genuinely hope I can keep in touch with you, my friend! There's a reason my own posting schedule is unpredictable and my videos are never edited! Anything more than what I do would be unable to be maintained! I wish you all the best!

Good for you. Pay attention to your reading and your family. Watching Videos is almost like watching TV....enjoy the fresh air.

I understand the time and expectations of other RU-vidrs and how that can take up a lot of your day. I have in my community so many them that have left because they just don't have fun anymore and I say only do RU-vid if is fun and not a chore.

Really sorry you’re leaving, Anne, but completely get the reasons why. It’s hard to keep up with it all at times. Your comment about commenters you feel like you’ve got to know disappearing, definitely rang true for me. Hope to see you come back soon.

We understand, but you will be missed.

This is so sad to hear, I just discovered your channel a week ago. I hope you will keep the videos up and return some day.

You're completely right.

I am totally into sustainable lifestyle content so I am definitely going to be subscribing and helping that you go down that road. If not, no worries

Glad u enjoyed ur time here. I'm newer and understand what you talking abt.

I have really enjoyed your videos but completely understand your need to prioritize other things at this point in your life. I wish you all the best.

Wishing you and your husband and Loki well!

Shame you are leaving- this is the first video of your's that I have seen. Will check out your back catalogue 🙂

Booktube is really time consuming. I stopped watching other people's videos as much because I do not have a lot of time recently and that reflected on my videos' views and comments. so I totally understand where you are coming from. I hope this video going viral will help your channel get monetized and motivate you get back to posting reviews when you feel like it. I also been on booktube for 3 years with 0 revenue from it but it is fun to do (and stressful sometimes)

Ah, will be missing another beautiful fellow in this space. Truly BookTube is a lot of work, a whole lot of time. Quite understandable, but I still hope to see you again. Will be so glad.

Thanks. I'm new at making book videos. I didn't even know there was a "community" when I started. I have made a couple productions, singing with video effects and they don't get any more notice than the talking head exclusive ones. I don't want to spend a lot of time watching other people book video, and I don't have a lot of interesting in like, "TBR: Books I Plan to read in May" or whatever. Plus in not an age peer with many of these book people. I'll probably keep doing the videos for awhile because I use it for something vaguely showbiz to do, but mainly to express myself which is what is most important to me. I'm not consistently interactive enough to be in a community.

I was soooo hoping it was clickbait!!! 😭 I completely understand this. I can’t watch much Booktube either since I’m working a second job now. I’m so glad you’ll still be part of Black Hearts!🖤 You know we’re fun and low key, and I’m excited for October.

Well thanks for an explanation video… when people just disappear I wonder if they died. I did something kind of like this, but my transition was not giving as much of a shit. It’s been better. But you’ll be missed because I liked your channel. It’s very real.

I completely get what you mean here. I find myself writing and reading less because of this.

I totally understand as a bookstagrammer I also find things to be time consuming. I refuse to do RU-vid because I don't have the care or drive to spend hours on filming a video and then editing. It is not for me. I literally have my bookstagram specifically so that I can remember which books I have read and not reread a book again. Because I've done that. And I know you can do that on Goodreads but I like the visual picture so it's easy to remember and I do enjoy taking pictures of the books that I liked reading. But I don't take a ton of time editing my photos and stuff like that like other people do, which is probably why I don't have a lot of followers. But that's fine by me. But I can understand completely where you're coming from. I'm not really sure why this got recommended cuz I'm not actually a current follower. It just popped up on my news feed.

10:12 “putting too much gratification…” Yes, I understand. I was live streaming for a while - that’s all I ever did with my channel (no editing), but never really interacted with the audience (at least not in in the style of sprints), but I understand what you mean. I enjoy you videos, but I think you should make them when it’s right for you, and in a format you enjoy (example 12:42) Ok - I hope to see you again, but in the meantime, all the best to you!!! (Best of luck on your house)

Sad that she's leaving, and this became her most viewed video

NOOOOOOOO I just subscribed this makes me so sad i really love your content.

May we get the link to favorite booktubers?

Never watched you till now. Good luck in all you do.

Someone said it best RU-vid is like a full time job. You have to record, edit, and upload. This can take several hours if not a few days during the week depending upon your own personal schedule etc. I think ultimately you have to do what’s best for you. I get where you’re coming from with making money on RU-vid. It also is discouraging sometimes when you see other channels flourish. Not saying those channels don’t deserve it bc they do, but it’d be nice if it were to happen to your own channel. It’s just like in real life, if you have a co worker that got a promotion and you didn’t but you both put in the same amount of effort it can really feel discouraging. I generally watch booktube here and there but I don’t always comment on the videos I watch. I enjoy your channel very much you definitely opened me up to more books that aren’t what I typically go for. You’ll be greatly missed, take care💕

I had only heard of “booktube” in the last year. Now that I follow a few the RU-vid recommends random booktubers to me

I like the coordinated spines of those TINTIN books!

💙

Honestly, if you take a step back from RU-vid and you decide you still want to do videos, you should just do the videos that you want to do and rebrand your contacts instead of forcing yourself into a box and doing what you truly love. But if that's not filming more adaptations of different movies and stuff like that, then you know just do what it is that makes you happy. And it's a good thing that you realize that it's not making you happy so you can take a step aside and figure out what it is you want to do and if it's something you still are interested in because I've seen a lot of bookstagrammers and booktubers get totally worn out and you can tell they're worn out but they keep making content and you just don't want to watch it. Because well, why would you want to watch someone who doesn't enjoy what they're doing? So I think taking a step back to figure out what you want to do is very wise decision for your mental health. It's a great example for others that maybe struggling with the same thing

You'll be missed!

I just found you and think I'd really enjoy your videos. If you watch videos, you have less time to read. You're right to do this. Do what you love and love what you do. You might take up knitting. It's very meditative. Embroidery too. Off topic...I just spent over $1,000. on my car and now finding I have a slow oil leak. I need to buy a new car within a year and I'm semi retired. Just saying, everyone gets the financial aspect. Best of luck. I'll watch your old videos!

I have changed my mindset to; if I am not enjoying what I'm doing, I don't do it! Time for change...wish you well

I just discovered you, so I am disappointed to hear this news, though I do understand your reasons. I do hope you will leave your past videos up as I would like to go through and watch them as I have time. Best wishes!

Awh dude 😢 maybe when it's better time you can drop back in ❤

Book tube can become a major distraction from life…….so enjoy whatever creative endeavour in your future!

I just check up on ur to see if u posted a new vid yesterday, 😔 We will will u ❤

Just a quick comment telling you how much I love those glasses on you. There really, really cute and they have to be extremely comfortable to wear as well. Your really quite nearsighted aren't you? As a retired optician I can see quite a bit of "cut-in" through your lenses. If you don't know what "cut-in" is, if you freeze frame your video at :56 - :58 and look through your right lens notice how the side of your face jumps inward under the lens of your glasses. that's "cut-in". The more it jumps inward the stronger the prescription is. My best guess is that your glasses are in the -3.50 to -4.00 range.

I think it’s interesting the amount of people in the comments who say “you will be missed” or things like that because I just found your channel through this video and I’m sure they did too. The reason I’m saying this is because your past videos have less than 500 views and suddenly this one has 15k views. So where were you guys then

The good thing about European cities is that they are walkable and have excellent public transport so that you don’t need a car. Don’t know if your husband needs the car for work, but it’s always sad to hear that even young people are already stuck in a car-dependent life.

NOOOOO!!!!!!

Weird. I remember when RU-vid wasn’t popular and people posted because they wanted to.. because they had something to say about something they were genuinely passionate about. The evolution has been wild.
