Usually with ASMR videos I leave the audio playing as I do something else, but your videos I always try to watch as well as listen. There's just something so calming about your random smiles...

[@thesalsaboy25]

I like the random smiles too lol

[@jimmycarmine7219]

You're so good at triggering while reading. You somehow manage your voice perfectly. I like the story too. I hope you pursue it and write more!

[@v3pic]

This video always gets me the second it starts. Your eyes and the little "Hi" give me tingles immediately.

[@mekydro]

What an absolutely enchanting story. One of the great joys of watching your videos is not only the tingles form your voice, but also your lovely smile. You obviously enjoy doing them and you have learned to 'be yourself' and natural on camera. Well done, Christen

[@ChristenNoel]

Thank you so much

[@DaintilyDahlia]

The story was great. I really appreciate you including Micah 6:8 at the bottom of your about section- PTL♥ :) You're wonderful.

[@whisperedstories]

Really enjoyed listening to this! You're a wonderful story-teller :-)

[@ChristenNoel]

Thank you so much! ^^

[@elijaholdgameskingdom6794]

I wonder, why ASMR attracts so many beautiful ladies...

[@Bashyb]

Elijah ASMRKingdom Well, everything attracts beautiful ladies, no, attracts beautiful people, beauty is such a subjective matter, everything is bound to attract alot of beautiful people.

[@elijaholdgameskingdom6794]

Bashfulfruit You're talking about inner beauty? Oh yeah, this quality now, its weight in gold ...thereby nicer to see people here, rich to them

[@Bashyb]

Elijah ASMRKingdom Not only inner beauty, but outer beauty too.

[@timkiwinz]

Love these kind of videos from you :) , not much for role plays but I find this sort of thing awesome. Quickly becoming my favourite ASMR video maker :)

[@ChristenNoel]

Wow, thank you so much! :D I love making the short story and poetry videos so I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy watching and listening to them

[@jerandcor]

You seriously have such a soothing voice, listening to 2 minutes of your story alone put me in a very good place. Thank you so much!

[@bethel99899]

hhhhhhmmm. That delivery on the butterflies escaping from your mouth gave me chills, aha. Thanks Christen. I enjoyed the story :)

[@HEYITSJEHRED]

I absolutely love your story! It is just open-ended enough for the reader/listener to interpret it the way they want. Great video! :)

[@2mccue4u27]

Micah 6:8: great verse. Gee, it's just wonderful to have found someone who's willing to do these gentle kinds of ASMR videos and isn't afraid to put in a Bible verse in their description.

[@AlexanderDraconis]

I loved the story. I really did. And now the mic touching is sending me to sleep. Thanks a lot, as always. Your earnest nature and kind attentiveness always soothe and heal. It's no wonder I keep coming back to your channel.

[@stilljazzed]

Really enjoyed the rich and descriptive immersion into the story. Felt like I was right there. Cool twist coming upon the lights--magical! Thank you for sharing.

[@ChristenNoel]

I'm so glad! Thanks a lot :) I feel very encouraged by all the positive feedback

[@jtbfour]

Your soft spoken voice is lovely and the story draws the listener in. Well done!

[@Saretz]

You are the most beautiful girl i have ever seen, that smile of yours melts me everytime.

[@ChristenNoel]

Aww! You're so sweet, thank you :)

[@M40A3.]

You look so happy and sweet! Every time you smile, it makes me really happy and smile! I really love you as a person! Keep being happy and smiling! I LOVE IT

[@DanASMR]

Honestly, I didn't pay attention to that story! I was just relaxing. You voice is so soft and pleasant to hear, and in the end, I relaxed more and more with your gentle mic touches. You should make a ear cleaning video. Thanks!

[@thpass]

lovely story. I thought of the 'northern lights' you refer to as metaphor for something beautiful in the mysterious deep water. or bioluminescence from algae. wonderful scratching too. thank you christen.

[@ChristenNoel]

Ohhh, very interesting :) I love hearing the different ideas that people have while reading it. Thanks!

[@HaganeSteel]

It's very good. You use a lot of descriptive power words and noun phrases that evoke very strong imagery through their simplicity. "Collapsed bridge" - "collapsed" is a power word, as is "crystal". These are useful because they have imagery attached to them that is universal (we all know what a crystal looks like) and that makes them easier to read. They basically condense a sentence's worth of description down to one word. Very effective. Just keep doing it!

[@fjoo]

I consider stories like that the equivalent of clouds in the sky to a visual designer. Often I look at clouds or doodles and use them as springboard for visual ideas. Your story does the same thing to me. Every sentence can be applied a meaning, and so the listener is doing half the work in their mind. :) Discovering beauty in unexpected places, clear communication without cumbersome words, jumping in without regrets. Not very deep interpretations, I know, but the point remains. :)

[@Specialist01]

You definitely created a vivid story, I could imagine everything as you described it & felt submersed in it as it was read. I know it's supposed a short story, but it feels like you could do a lot more with the story if you decided to continue, which is great :D

[@ChristenNoel]

Wow, thank you! :D I will probably end up adding on to it down the road. Who knows ^^

[@MrRik338]

Reminds me of when my mother used to read me stories! amazing!

[@PatienceBrody]

Loved your story. :) Also your voice is so relaxing!

[@AL3JANDR0pr]

Its like as you narrated it i could imagine it as if it were a movie i had never seen and all this just from listening to this

[@blaze2882]

Thanks for a very relaxing video! You're short story writing skills are impressive btw

[@ChristenNoel]

Thanks so much :) I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it!

[@OtherSideASMR]

I liked the part where you smiled and then told me a bed time story. It was all like 'sup :-)' and then I was all like 'ZzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzz' like the kids these day do.

[@ChristenNoel]

Aww hahaha ^_^

[@scotch1993]

Love the story! Love the message/meaning. Keep being awesome :D

[@Sleepynebula]

The way I pictured it, maybe since the last time the speaker had skipped rocks there, "Magnolia" had died or moved or gone away somehow. The image of wading into a creek at dusk make me think of having to "heal" (maybe why you mentioned Magnolia being baptized there?). The speaker jumped into the water and kind of sat suspended under the surface, just taking in the creek and sort of absorbing the idea of whatever happened to Magnolia, finally able to heal after jumping in as a "memorial", and watching the butterflies, and worries escape as bubbles, finally releasing and healing and being lead to the "Northern Lights"- in my opinion, maybe the speaker stayed underwater too long and blacked out? But returned to the surface, thankful for taking the dusk time to renew. (long comment, weird idea, lovely story!)

[@Guacamolian]

Love story time with you so fun and relaxing! I like your story, makes a nice little adventure in my mind. = ) you have a charming, warm smile

[@shwick470]

I really enjoyed it! You had just enough descriptors in there to make it interesting but not so many that it was boring. And the "crystal ceiling" line was great. Top notch! Keep it up! In another video you said you played in a bluegrass band? Any videos of you guys? I was born and raised in Kentucky but moved to Florida a few years ago.....man I miss bluegrass. lol

[@sambush3502]

I love your story, your style is so cool!

[@desid94]

A very interesting short story. It had me hooked from beginning to end. Good Job.

[@GirGir183]

I like the sound of your voice. This this is the main attraction for me.

[@AL3JANDR0pr]

That stry was amazing , really, it was so good i really want to hear more

[@drjones4110]

this was beautifully written! well done

[@blastedburrito110]

I would actually love to hear more of your stories, or read them if you ever decide to make more and publish a book ;)

[@asmrgary5007]

Its cool I like how is was gentle and almost fable like in its narrative. It spoke to me as if it had a moral of if you don't take a chance you can miss oit on something amazing. But that might just be me

[@andreafeliz]

Loved the story. Keep on!

[@ChristenNoel]

I'm so glad! Thanks, I certainly will :D

[@stealthbee87]

Beautifully written story. Thank you for that.

[@ChristenNoel]

Thank you :)

[@ksharky888]

I would totally buy your book filled with your wonderful short stories if you ever do publish them :3

[@ChristenNoel]

Aw thank you! That means a lot :) I've put together some poems and things that I'd like to publish one day. If that ever happens, I'll be sure to inform you all

[@ksharky888]

you should do some more of these "Story times" I myself really enjoyed it :)

[@TheK3vin]

This was really beautiful! I almost as though you're self-conscious about the concept of your story. It seems to you like you think it's a little ridiculous. Having confidence in your "voice" (your writing voice) is just as important as using a lot of detail when it comes to making a work of fantasy believable and relateable. The one thing that really stuck out to me was when you said "I swim closer to look; and there, illuminating the water, are The Northern Lights". You really do a fantastic job with your description of the lights, so I would suggest leaning upon it a bit more heavily by describing them before you say what exactly they are. Putting a name to them will tie together the reader/listener's imaginations and allows you to have more influence on the image in their head. Those are just my opinions though, one enthusiast to another. Again, great job and I love all of your videos :)

[@ChristenNoel]

That is wonderful advice! Thank you so much. A very good idea. Changing it to something like "there, illumaniting the water, are bright beams of purple, green, blue, and yellow. They rise and fall as the colors change and swell. The Northern Lights. Captivating as I always imagined them." Or something along those lines :) I really appreciate your input. Thank you so much

[@TheK3vin]

Perfect :)

[@scottpainterii6212]

The story was amazing. I took a lot of metaphorical meaning from it.

[@ApocalypseStyle]

That's a real nice story you wrote there. Great imagery.

[@EmilienGRENOT]

Amazing as usual :) only 4 subscribers left until the 20,000 get ready! ;)

[@ChristenNoel]

4!? I totally just checked. Don't scare me like that! :p I still have about 1,000 to go ^^

[@EmilienGRENOT]

Christen Noel oops yeh sorry, I maybe fell asleep listening to you and just saw the 996 numbers ;)

[@ChristenNoel]

Emilien GRENOT Hehe! That's fantastic ^_^

[@benny7197]

I loved the story! This is just me though, I tend to write dark stories. But good job!

[@BrokeMoFo]

Just checked out your channel. Love your logo with your initials... Perfect branding. Your a great writer. Wonderfully depicted. I write free form poems, line of thought sayings and such. Yours is a more forthright style, very nice. I find the stuff I write more often tends to sound like the rants of a madman... lol.. Some people like it, some just dont get it... Anyway, Keep it up woman, your doing great. ;)

[@LrdDarkFyre]

too bad, I did not see this till I work up the next morning lol. Wonderful story, regardless of the time I caught it was indeed a great way to wake up hearing such a nice story and such a relaxing time.. Have a wonderful day.

[@ChristenNoel]

Aww haha I'm sorry. Thank you so much though! :D Spring is in the air here in Tennessee! I hope you have a wonderful day too!

[@iainmcdonald6196]

I'm new to your channel (your videos are amazing tbh) but I watched your Q/A video and talked about your favourite book could you do a video about it?

[@191726]

Sounded a little fishy to me, but I still liked it. :) P.S. your scratching ( & tapping ) is the best on You Tube. Gets me every time.

[@ChristenNoel]

Hahaha you so punny ;) Thanks so much!

[@Bobbyelkawinnie]

Just beautiful 😄💕

[@Pepeseinn]

im so glad for youtube mp3 download programs, just cut and loop the mic touching part, make it last forever!

[@SuperAdrienneLeigh]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with us! I want to go with you next time you visit the lights in the creek. Say hi to the little fish for me!

[@ChristenNoel]

Hehe! Yes, come with me next time! The fishy would like to meet you ^_^

[@masonroundtree1313]

I'm not a reader or nothing but I really liked that story! :)

[@TomClarkSouthLondon]

WONDERFUL!

[@ChristenNoel]

Thank you! :D

[@artesaa]

Thats awesome!You did it well :)

[@santiagorodriguez-pw5vj]

I liked your story, whimsical beauty :)

[@apemellowman]

Wonderful story! I think it deserves you trying to get it published.....:)

[@ApocalypseStyle]

Christen, you so purrrdy. Good video, as expected.

[@thesalsaboy25]

The story was really interesting :)

[@16N070]

Hola!! Eres genial, me encantan tus videos. Podrías hacer alguno en español?? Por favor!!

[@KingsleyAimHigh]

If possible, I think it would be cool to hear that story being told at the same time as you create your asmr sounds. You could do different triggers for different parts of the story, like, Crinkling for the wind rustling the trees and jumping in the water parts, ear to ear mic touching for the swimming down the river and northern lights part, and just things like that. The sounds wouldn't and probably shouldn't be exactly representative of the stories events, rather just background noise to accentuate parts of the story. just a thought.

[@user-il9uy3hv8l]

thank u :)

[@jreynolds21]

Love your vids, wish my right speaker worked.

[@ChristenNoel]

Aw, thanks :) I wish it did too!

[@rorocastle]

Great story with a little polishing it can become better, if you keep it up you can write an entire book of short stories.

[@redsoxfan969]

I thought the girl had died after jumping in. Glad I was wrong! Great story please share more.

[@mefree4636]

I liked the story.

[@bubbleheadft]

Going to Nashville for the evening? What part of TN are you in?

[@xBAYLIFE510x]

Your story was amazing. You have quite an imagination.

[@melissalynn6141]

Eh... haha jk. Really great. You really made it easy for me to picture in my head. Do more do more!

[@Pholiage]

That was great :) Got any more?

[@ChristenNoel]

Thanks! I sure do :)

[@lddevo88]

That was a fantastic piece of writing told quite brilliantly by it's beautiful writer!!! :) I'm curious, have you ever seen or heard of the film Magnolia? If you have, what do you think of it?

[@hellofriendo2]

In your story, I thought the narrator had drowned and was going to heaven. I'm glad I was wrong though :)

[@ChristenNoel]

That's what my mom thought too until she got to the end :)

[@ML-ce3bc]

I want to hear the rest! But I'd love it if you read the whole thing :P

[@ChristenNoel]

That is the whole thing! :p Haha. Its only a short story. But I'm thinking about adding on :)

[@RtmASMR]

Nice :)

[@ChristenNoel]

Thanks :D

[@diserasta1]

Never use this story for anything! Okay okay, jokes aside, that was quite a nice story, and very well constructed for one of your first. I just wanted to ask if you're still taking munchies packages, as I'd love to send you a care package of sweets from the 'old country', so to speak.

[@jonathantheawesome3449]

Koolness

[@8080pop]

I thought the story was cool but the only thing is that usually short stories have broader underlying meanings that talk about things like racism or really any social issue that is popular. You don't have to do that really, but it makes for cool childrens stories when you look back at them as an adult =D

[@Timahieshie]

Omg christen I Live in Smithville TN. Your story was great and we should hang out sometime :) you are so sweet

[@AndrewJoeStevens]

whats your ethnicity? Btw I really like your channel!:)

[@บุญเฮียงรักษาชน]

ดีเยี่ยมยอด

[@DekaJosh]

So....you became aqua-woman at some point? If so, thats pretty kool.

[@ChristenNoel]

Haha pretty much! :)

[@agutxi]

love your voice, love your hands, love your face... you are soooooooooooooo sweet, so cute, so beautiful... kisses Christen Noel

[@toasted3322]

when i read magnolia i though of Fairy Tail, anyone else?

[@nosidda666]

+Noah Dean yea same here lol. fairy tail is like my favorite anime.

[@Bitchesgivehigh5s]

Would you be offended if i STOLE! your story? Just copyrighted....er...copywrited...eh...copywritten? screw it, your store. :P

[@asmrgary5007]

Its cool I like how is was gentle and almost fable like in its narrative. It spoke to me as if it had a moral of if you don't take a chance you can miss oit on something amazing. But that might just be me
