Hello!
It's been a while, but don't worry because you'll be seeing a lot more of me going forward. A lot has happened the past few weeks, I was struggling a lot with overworking myself and not getting enough rest on the weekends. Safe to say I'm doing a lot better now and I've gotten a lot of rest so please don't worry! I quit my job on Monday and decided that it was time to try out being freelance. I've always dreamed of growing my shop and working on my own projects so this is a bit surreal for me. There's a lot left for me to figure out, but with your support, I feel like I can do anything. Stay healthy, and take care of yourself! Lots of love, Apple Cheeks.

[@apple.cheeks]

Thanks :3

[@beesonshine9743]

i always live by the idea that you never know unless you try, and if you keep on pushing through the struggles and hardships, things can only get better. The only failure is giving up. And don't settle for less! If you know what you want, go for it!

[@apple.cheeks]

Yes, I'm always trying to grow in multiple ways! :3

[@talitastivalli9394]

Congrats on everything, it's gonna be an amazing journey as a freelancer, take your time to figure things out and discover what you want to do!!!! Good luck, you deserve all the amazing things 😊

[@SuzyYen82]

So happy that you are back!!! This made me smile. These past 2 days I have been sad and not talking much, nothing is going right and it sucks. So thank you for this vlog!! 😊♥️

[@apple.cheeks]

I want to post regularly again now that I have the time ! :)

[@SuzyYen82]

apple.cheeks yayyyyy!!! 😆😆

[@seungminloml1467]

You inspire me so much! and i know you'll be really successful and stay safe !!

[@soravelora]

Hope freelancing gives you more joy. It definitely gives me joy cause that’s mean I’ll watch more studio vlogs. I see a lot of studio vlogs similar like yours on youtube cause the programmes or colour grading used or even with almost similar fonts i still like your studio vlogs more and waited patiently for you to upload.

[@apple.cheeks]

It really does, I feel so free!

[@dim.4227]

you uploaded just at the right time for me! Now I can watch this while drawing :)

[@apple.cheeks]

perfect :3

[@safu5855]

Tiffany i just feel as though i have to say this, every time i see that you’ve uploaded a new video it genuinely makes me happy unlike other content creators, as soon as i click on one of your videos i feel as though this hectic life has been put on slow-mo and everything feels so calm, your videos give off a motherly vibe which makes me feel so wanted and as if i belong, I’m getting emotional writing this lengthy paragraph and it’s because i love and support you so much. P.s: You’ll do great as a freelancer. ❤️

[@apple.cheeks]

I'm so glad my videos are able to make you feel that way! Thank you so much for giving me so much support, I hope you're doing well :)

[@therummagingferret]

wow.. just dove into that. ur brave but at the same time. i feel like if i was that brave i could do it too. my biggest issue is time. so i understand this choice a lot. you know i recently started following u and i thought about u and other youtubes always have support. u currently have room mates. other studio vlogers have husbands, boyfriends, parents, ect. i wish that i had that support and help because things can just feel so hard to get off the ground. not everyone's journey is the same and i try to keep that in mind. i am glad i chose to look back and start at ur first studio vlog and watch each one, because you didnt always have that support you have now. for a long time you where like me and soloing it and working urself into the ground just trying to get your shop and life going. i am proud of u, thanks for posting your videos.

[@sabelleo]

Tiffany, ive always thought you should freelance especially since your burnout videos, bcs everytime i watch your vlog, i see your potential literally begging you to do your own things fulltime and im sooo happy you finally take the leap! You will go farrrrrr, congrats!!!! Lots of love from Malaysia ☺️😘

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you so much, I've always dreamed of being fully freelance. Now that I have built up some experience I think I will be okay!

[@chrissantiago179]

I'm sure everything will work out for you! Your art is amazing!

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you!

[@BlaBla-ml7nn]

You’ll be okay! And please don’t forget to take care of yourself and drink more water :)

[@apple.cheeks]

Regarding freelancing! I'm an illustration student going into my final year at uni, what things should I be doing to work towards having a freelancing career? Some minor things I want to try are opening an etsy business, work on visual novels etc. But if there is anything else I should be doing I would really like to find out!

[@apple.cheeks]

I'll be sure to answer it in my next video! :)

Hi! We are so proud of you to do what you love and be released of your stressful job♥️ hopefully this will make you happier but I was wondering what was your job that you quit

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you! I honestly think the stress just came from juggling two jobs at once. I was a designer and social media manager~

Hi there! Thanks for sharing these Vlogs with us :) I just wanted to ask if you could talk about the thing that made you decide to go freelance now! Was it about how much money you where able to make with your online shop? Or what gave you the push in that direction? I'd love to hear you talk about that. :) Take care and stay safe! :)

For sure! I can cover some of those topics :)

I just found your channel yesterday and was binging a bunch of videos. I think it’s so exciting that you’re starting your freelance journey, I definitely want to as well. What was your process like starting out? I think it’s always pretty intimidating to start a KZbin channel but not have many views.

[@apple.cheeks]
