I was addicted to my toxic habits 

helloo lovely people

"it can be really sad to admit that most of the shitty things you go through in life happen just because you're unlucky, not because you're chosen"- I needed that

I had my period of sadness March 2020 - Dec 2021. I had the two hardest and worst summers of my life during that period which made the semesters around them horrible. I didn’t realize how unlikeable I was and how tolerant my friends because they were good friends until I’d been in therapy at the 3 month mark. My therapist told me I’d made progress but therapy wouldn’t work unless I did but that really didn’t register for me until 2022 started. I decided to take what I learned and get myself out that dark place. The past wouldn’t be the past if it was unresolved but it took recognizing that although I wasn’t the blame for why I was in that state, I was responsible for getting myself out. Other’s peoples validation of our sorrow feels great but shortlived empathy is not as powerful a feeling as prolonged and unwavering resilience. Great chat Michelle. It’s really profound how comfortable you’ve gotten with these sitdowns. I think it’s always good to peek into the perspectives of people willing to share them online. Stay amazing!

Ngl I dig this format. You'd do great if you started a podcast. Your videos feel like safe place anyway, I feel like podcasts would fit in great. Keep up the good job!

Just wanted to remind you "We love you, Michelle" ❤🌻

Hi Michelle! You’re the kind of person I’d love to be friends with. You seem like a very grounded, down-to-earth, warm, and genuine person. I really admire people who are introspective and profound. I feel like you'd be the kind of friend I could talk to for hours on end. I hope I can connect with you, but I know you don’t have other socials apart from RU-vid. Anyway, I hope you continue doing your art! Your channel is a safe place to be in, and your content is always substantial and inspirational. Love you ❤️

Michelle always speaking facts 🗣️🗣️ love the sit down and chat vids ❤️

Thank you for this

As a viewer, what brings me back your videos is your execution and delivery with a smile. You're doing great. Thank you!

It takes a great deal of wisdom and humility combined to be able to look at yourself as introspectively as you do. May you inspire others to do the same, may we all heal, and may you never stop learning and growing 😊 Ps. This format is so nice and comforting. 😊

wow Michelle, this came at the perfect time lol. I am going exactly through the same things and in this constant cycle of feeling sorry for myself, not getting anything done and being at the mercy of all my excuses. over the years of trying to "heal", I've really attached myself to my emotions and "trauma" to the point where I'm going nowhere with improving myself. thank you for this video, I love the vibes and how relatable the content is. I wish you the best, let's push ourselves together

This background feels like a fever dream.

I loved your previous videos about quitting social media, it helped me a lot during that time. Now I wish I can break that addiction again!❤ Thank you Michelle ❤

going through something like this atm and this video made me feel less alone 🤍 thank you, michelle! you always helped me find the words for my feelings when i never thought i could. :))

i love your videos. pls never stop posting

I love this video so much, we truly are the ones who have to do the work to get out of a rut. OOo I have an idea for a topic, maybe one that talks about focusing on your hobbies or focusing on your creativity anything that brings you joy. because at times I know what I love to do but being so busy makes it hard to prioritize them. so anything along that would be so wonderful:)

I absolutely LOVE the setup!!!!

So, well, how i feel when i talk to friends about my problems openly. Sometimes they look a bit strange at me and i feel like i shouldnt say something, or im not understood on how serious it is. Because i feel like a burden, they say im not tho. But it feels like that. How many problems should you figure out, what should you ignore, what should you talk about and not and to who, because not all problems your friends can solve, and i dont want to lose friends. But i also feel bad around my friends if i cant be a good enough friend, which makes me want to explain and apologize, but that feels so negative too. So, its a bit like, where do you draw the line on what to say. So say if im a bit quiet around my friends, i want to apologize for being quiet because i dont understand why i am like that, and in constant pain. But if i talk about my feelings its just going to be not fun to be around me i feel like. So its like, what do you do sometimes.

I could relate to this so much 😢❤ One video recommendation since you asked for it - can you make a video on how did you get over after a heartbreak or a breakup?

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU to post, here you are

Yeahey!! thank youu! Hope you're doing well! ❤

girl have u ever thought of starting a podcast? Cos I’d be keen to listen ☺️

❤❤❤❤ ily girl🦋🦋🦋🌻

I’d like to challenge something you said Michelle in a Respectful way. my Dear Respected RU-vidr. You stated that sh***y things happens to you and it’s best to accept it with no exceptions of a transformation. I think of Buddha, & His (Four Noble Truths) *Life Has inevitable suffering * There is a Cause for the Suffering * There is an End to the suffering * The end of the suffering is in the eightfold path. What is the eightfold path ? *Right view *Right effort ( big one) *Right intention *Right Speech *Right Action (work not only for yourself but for others. *Right Conduct *Right Livelihood * Right Mindfulness *Right Concentration This path can be broken down and simplified to how we Think 💭, Speak 🗣️ & Behave , towards ourselves and others. It starts with our mindsets as you’ve stated , we get stuck in a pattern of thinking which then leads us down a slippery slope. A more realistic and enthusiastic/Broader view of life can create an atmosphere for greater opportunities For Thankfulness. And Gratitude leads to inner Peace ☮️
