Book & stationery shopping, rainy afternoons, & early mornings 🌼🫖 a Spring weekend vlog

[@lindavirden9592]

Dear Morgan … your statement about only being 26 and not seeing yourself as wise hit a note. I am 71 and I still have so much more to learn. Wisdom does come with age but it doesn’t just come. Our experiences, our growth, the windows and doors we pass through gives us the steps needed to become closer to what and who we are to be. If I have gained anything in my life it’s the wisdom to know that everyday is a gift I’ve been given to continue to learn, to explore, and to continue on the path on which I travel. We have our ups, our downs, our good, our bad but life would be rather dull if it were the same everyday. I so enjoy reading your vlogs. You my young friend inspire me to reach further and to experience more. Thank you.

[@MorganLong]

This is so well said. Wise, even :) Here’s to always learning and having self-compassion along the way. Hugs, Linda friend!

[@MorganLong]

And thank you, so so very much for your kind words, friend ❤️

Thank you for your lovely post! I am 46 and I too am continuing to learn and grow, and I am sure I will for the rest of my life. =)

[@lilyturney1346]

So many youtubers present an unrealistic perspective of their lives, making their viewers question why their own life isn’t so perfect. It’s lovely to see your honesty Morgan and thank you for sharing this beautiful weekend vlog. I hope you’re feeling better, but you’re right to acknowledge it’s ok to not be happy all the time. Sending a virtual hug your way 💛✨

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Lily friend 💛 I sometimes am scared to share the lows of my life because I don’t want to come across as ungrateful. It’s a comfort to know I can be honest and connect with you all through the vulnerability. It’s also so reassuring that it’s okay to have sad days even when life is good 💛

I love the music choices you picked. I spent 4 days in bed all day, sleeping on and off. not eating much, feeling sad and feeling sorry for myself. This morning I woke up with lots of energy and spent 10 hours cleaning my apartment. I'm not young, I'm 71 years old, but I don't even feel tired now. I'm going to read and relax with my cat until I fall asleep. I learn something new everyday! I read a l learn things from other people. I do lots of research. I keep myself healthy. I'm a 6 year breast cancer survivor and a widow. But I feel I have a lot more time to live and learn.

[@MorganLong]

You are absolutely incredible, friend! I’m so glad you found your energy again but that you also allowed yourself to rest 💛 Here’s to always learning!

This is my first KZbin comment ever! But I wanted to tell you that my kids and I found your channel during a dark winter in the midst of the pandemic. We felt encouraged to make our home cozy (hygge), and lean into being home... slow meals... reading... and making small moments at home extra joyful. Thank you for what you do. We still watch all your videos ☺️

Some of us even have entire playlists because of the music you play. Influencer, yes. And in the best way. Thanks for sharing. I'm happy to be a part of your fan base who supports you in this "corner of the internet". Cheers to you, Morgan, and to your fans!

Morgan, you are just getting braver and braver with showing your authentic self in each video you create. Thank you so much for being honest that some days are just harder than others, and not being afraid to show the struggle. I just wanted to wrap you up in a hug on Saturday. Getting into nature is always one of the best remedies for a low day, especially when it's partly brought on by social media comparisons. This video was great and had a wonderful message - thank you.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@jenniferross5128]

Dearest Morgan, Thank you for your beautiful and lovely videos. They always warm my heart and make me appreciate nature and life. I also want to thank you a lot for sharing the raw bits, the unfiltered emotions. Even though I wish you all the sunshine and happiness and warmth and love in the world, it felt real and good to see (and have a visual reminder) that we all struggle sometimes. To know that that's part of life too and that it's okay. That it doesn't make you fragile or weird or broken. I've been feeling rather down lately, broken even at times. Life seems to have been quite the struggle ever since I was a teen up until now (I'm 23). In my heart I know I can see, feel and appreciate the small things in the life. The ordinary bits that are worth so much. But they never seem to have a lasting effect. Focusing on this sad truth does absolutely nothing for my wellbeing, so I'm so happy I one day found your channel and your honest and lovely videos. You share truth, even if it's painful. And I still find beauty in it; because there is so much love and kindness and sunshine within you. Life can be good, even with the struggles and pain. Life doesn't even have to be happiness 90% of the time. Thank you for reminding me, and for all the future video's that will remind me of this even more. ✨💕

[@gaelliott61]

I often have to fully recuperate on Saturdays after a long stressful week and just putter around the house and get things done but also rest and then by Sunday bam- I’m ready to go, so no worries-we need to recharge. And when it comes to comparing yourself to others on Instagram, just remember oh wondrous you that you have many qualities that others lack like kindness, caring about the little things and the small joys in life, being a light to others and being an absolutely delightful person. You said you wanted to just go and sit by a pond and that really spoke to me having grown up with a pond in the middle of our neighborhood called Prince Pond. It was pretty magical-in the winter would ice skate and the snow would be falling against the backdrop of old Victorian houses and old fashioned street lamps and we’d stick peppermint schnapps in the snow to get super cold and skate like the wind. In the summer we’d look at fish and tadpoles, feed the ducks and watch the cranes and listen to the fountains in the middle which were especially nice to hear at night. In the fall, the trees turn bright yellow and red and orange and there’s an archway made of stone and a pond house where people used to build a fire and change their skates. It’s my happy place.

[@sundancemom6143]

Hi Morgan…I am also “up there” in age. I’m 73 years old and I thoroughly enjoy your channel. You are a beautiful, vibrant, and caring young woman. I agree with Linda, when you reach the age we are, we do feel each day is a gift. I’ve also learned that our emotions are just a natural part of our human DNA, and our depression, or our feelings of insecurity are not permanent. Nothing is permanent. It passes. If we didn’t have the difficult days, we wouldn’t appreciate the good ones. You’re so young. There’s so much more to learn, and you will, in time, as you grow older and when you’re ready. We’re all here to learn our lessons. Life is just one bing school room. And even at my age, I’m still forever a student always learning. Enjoy your life. Embrace the bad days, along with the good. It just shows you’re alive, and you experience the same emotions and self doubts as we all do, yes, even at my age. It all passes. Be happy, but be you. You are such a talented and caring person. You are special in every way. Sending you, Landon and Mr. Roo all my love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello how are you doing?

[@Kate-ch2hr]

Hey Morgan, I really recommend unfollowing anyone who makes you fall into that self doubt and comparison trap. It really is good for your mental health to remember you have control over that aspect. Also remember that there are so many people on social media doing the same exact thing or reading the same books because everyone else is, you know what I mean? Doing what truly makes you happy and sharing that is the best and most interesting thing you can in this media, in my humble opinion. You’re doing great, don’t forget that 😊

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much for your encouragement, friend. You comment is a comfort

[@jillychandler]

I totally agree with what Linda Virden wrote, and I am 65 and still leaning so much about life, and myself. Interesting that us older folk are watching the vlogs of someone so young, but you touch our hearts, so thank you for showing us a true week end with you, with real human emotions being shown. Blessings to you and your loved partner and dog, from Devon, England. xxx

[@bowtiesarecool1011]

Morgan, your videos are such a peace to me. Often when I am feeling stressed or anxious or like I’m “not doing enough” I sit down and watch your videos. You help me appreciate the small whimsy moments in life and celebrating every little step toward internal fulfillment. I feel so relaxed afterwards and have the spirit to look up. I hope u have a lovely day today, whenever you end up reading this💛✨🌻

[@elisabeth_montgomery]

Giving space for the other emotions is an excellent way to put it. We have to embrace these not so great feelings and emotions and let them run its course. I feel like being happy 100% of the time would not allow us to see and feel things in a different perspective. The not so great feelings just make us appreciate the happy feelings even more.

[@phoebe8094]

Hello sweet friend! ❤️ Firstly, I feel like you are the type of person who, every time you meet a new sweater, it becomes your new fave sweater 🤗 and honestly, SAME! Hahaha. I love how willing you are to show us your true self. It makes me so happy to know that even though it’s scary, you are still willing to share everything with us. I can imagine it’s actually very helpful to share your thoughts and feelings out loud to us. That moment where you were on your couch, just looking like you felt so hopeless….I think I can speak for many of us when I say that SO MANY OF US definitely could see ourselves in that exact same spot. And it’s helpful knowing that we are not alone. 🌷 I felt the same way when I finished Devotions, my copy is absolutely PACKED with tabs. And I’ve now moved on to reading her book “Upstream”! Hope you are having a good day my friend. Happy teas, trees, and reads to you. ☕️🌲📚

[@MorganLong]

Hi, Phoebe friend!! Yes, quite literally every sweater I have ever owned has stolen my heart, and I wear it every day for weeks. I sometimes wish I had more hip, colder-weather clothes...but I just always buy sweaters! It can't be helped, am I'm not sure I want it to be ;) I will say, it's significantly easier to be vulnerable when there are hundreds of people who will praise me for being so. I don't ever do it for the praise, it's always genuine. I just don't consider myself particularly brave for sharing. For the couch scene, I set up the camera to record a positive talk with Landon about moving forward on bad days...but then just had a break down and cried and cried. It is such a comfort to know that I'm not alone either. Sharing what I'm going through is, like you said, so helpful. I rely so much on you all reassure me that everything will be okay as I say to you that everything will be okay ❤️

[@sofi5653]

Hii Morgan 🌼A person once wrote that you have to accept more weather to appreciate the moments of sunshine, and that together they form rainbows! Being happy and positive all the time is not a good thing, you just have to accept the low moments, live them and see them as a trampoline at the bottom of the ravine that will take us back to the other side of the path that the we continue. I really wanted to hug you seeing your video and tell you that everything will be fine, so I hope my words will be of comfort to you. In any case, the bookshop where you have been seems to be a gold mine as far as stationery is concerned. I loved the wall of masking tapes and the one you showed us with the foxes! The Sunday one looked great too, I loved it! Thank you for sharing this genuinely! I like what you offer us, with the good and the bad moments which allow us to reflect on certain things! Thanks very much 💕

[@annemariegavlinski8834]

We buried my 54 year old brother yesterday who died very suddenly. Today was my “rested on the couch all day.” I stared at my Anne of Green Gables book I started re-reading last week. I’m hoping my eyes can move along the pages later. There are nuggets of sweet reminders in her words, as you know from your last video. I think writing some of my favorites to leave around the house will be beautiful reminders to see as Anne does 💖. Thank you for sharing your real self. You are right, as I say frequently, “we are all doing the best we can. One never knows what another is experiencing.” Enjoy and learn from every season.

I’m glad you decided to share this with us Morgan! It’s ok to have wash-out days/weekends as I’ve been learning too. I have what my family and I think is chronic fatigue syndrome but possibly a mild form of it. It’s been a journey of accepting it and not feeling bad whenever I need to rest. Sometimes I have to spend whole afternoons resting so when you said you’d spent the whole morning resting, even tho it was for different reasons, I could really relate to that! Sometimes with these afternoons I’ll get nothing productive done at all and just watch KZbin all the time. I’ve been trying not to be too hard on myself when that happens and use my other time wisely when I have the energy to do things. It’s hard to balance all the time but it’s ok if I sometimes have the off day. Also that scenery looked amazing! It made me want to go outside. I know one of my bucket list of things to do is go out on a picnic. Your video has inspired me to mention this to my family and choose somewhere to go to :) looking forward to more of your content :)

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, my storyteller friend! To be honest, this Saturday has been another one of those couch days. Rest is productive-- this is something I'm having to learn over and over again. I hope the pressure of using your time wisely when you do have energy isn't too much. Wouldn't it also be nice to rest when you feel great? It's so sad but sometimes I'm relieved when I get sick because it means that I can rest without feeling guilty. I can't stand admitting that. I really do need to get better. Know that your need for rest is valid even if your hurt isn't visibly apparent ❤️

I Morgan 💛 I don't always comment, but I don't miss a single video from you and I always save them to watch on a time during the day when I can actually take my time to pay full attention. I cannot honestly put into words how much I appreciate you and your videos. I found your channel in February of 2020 (if my memory is correct, I found you through your first reading vlog and immediately subscribed), during a difficult time in my life, and I'm not exaggerating when I say your content was therapeutic to me: you truly helped me cope and feel better. At the time, I binged all your videos up to that point and since then I don't miss a single one and each one feels always special and important to me. Not only you capture the world around you in such a beautiful way with which I connect so much, I also relate a lot and reflect quite a bit on the things you talk about. You've made me regain appreciation for the simpler things in life. You're also one of a couple of people I follow here on KZbin that made me believe I could start changing my life to how I really want to live it at 30 yo (31 so very soon in a couple of weeks)... I'm sad to see someone that inspired me and that I admire so much have those feelings of not being "as good as" or "good enough", because to me, your are one of the best, one of my favourites and one of those channels I instantly recommend to people... It's completely normal to feel down, to have doubts, to feel sad, but know that you are so so special and appreciated by so many people! 🌻I hope you're feeling better. Thank you for all that you share with us, and thank you, personally, for all that you've been doing for me. ✨The hike was so gorgeous!!! 😍 Sending lots of love and gratitude 🥰

I feel so blessed to have Landon! He is a really good listener when I'm upset. Because I work by myself, for myself, I usually vent EVERYTHING to him and he doesn't ever act bored or impatient. Thank you for being here, Lisa friend

[@ThePixiixiq]

What a touching and lovely video, Morgan. Thank you for sharing the vulnerable parts of your everyday life too.

[@Laura.v.b]

I love your realness. And please never feel uncool. Your so cool in my eyes. Your creativity shines through in your videos and I love it so much!

[@leben3482]

This saturday is one of this days🙈 thank you ❤️❤️❤️🐣

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello how are you doing?

[@HollyWood-pm3xq]

That washi wall!!!! I would be looking at the washi for hours. You truly showed us your authentic self and l appreciate that. Your videos bring me comfort and I am glad that you are here. I might have said this before, l'm not sure, l think you are an angel on earth. I truly believe that.

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

That stationery store brought a tear to my eye.

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello how are you?

[@aprilb9755]

I love every video you create. They are so beautifully shot and I love your authenticity & how your genuinely kind spirit shines through, always 💛 Thank you for sharing your down days along with your happy ones; as someone who also experiences low days like the one you had, I feel seen. Sending you a big hug and I can't wait to watch your next video! 🤗💛

[@annhalliday9555]

I love watching your vlogs- I love the honesty of them. I too adore the poems of Mary Oliver, in fact it was watching you reading her that made me buy Devotions which I am devouring so thank you🌻

[@cevec99]

Thank you so much for a wonderful video Morgan :) I'm still getting over Covid and have been working on not feeling so frustrated that my body is not recovering as quickly as I would want it to be, especially as the weather warms and Spring /Summer arrives. I just want to do all the things! This video has helped immensely :) I don't have to be (and certainly can't be at the moment) at 100% all the time. Also this video made me realise I have been watching your videos now for two years! And what a delightful, heart warming place your channel continues to be

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so so much for being here for two years!! That's truly so incredible to me! I know the frustration of being mentally well and excited but physically needing rest...and spring happens so quickly! But the sunshine and warmth will feel extra special when you can finally fully enjoy them. I hope you feel better soon, friend

[@MissMReads]

Thank you so, so much for showing your hard moments in this video. I know you’ve been very open and honest about your struggles in past videos, but seeing you going through it, and more importantly showing how quickly moods can change helped me feel so seen. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@dulcepires]

Thank you for one more amazing video. I just want to say that you are lovely, genuine, and I hope you'll have better days than sad one's ;). And yes, all of emotions make part of life, and are normal. Big hug my friend.

[@MorganLong]

Big hug, Dulce friend! You've been a part of my KZbin community for over 2 years now and it's really so incredible

[@dulcepires]

@@MorganLong i really like your content, and you my friend, you are a great, genuine and kind person. Big hug my friend.

[@mayahrasmussen]

You have such a wonderful way with words Mo! ✨ I'm honestly so grateful that I stumbled upon your channel cause I look so much forward to your videos ☺ Sending big, warm, spring-y hugs your way☀🌸🌻

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so so much, Maya friend! I know your name and feel so happy when I read a comment from you. You're one of the ones I'm attached to

[@mayahrasmussen]

​@@MorganLong Aw thank you so much for saying that! 🥰 I'm so glad I bring you joy 🌸🧡

[@janicemacdougall1844]

Thank you, Morgan, for sharing your vulnerability and honesty, your wisdom, and simple pleasures. I am still learning how to live my best life, to know it's ok to have all the feelings, to not compare myself to others, and to not feel guilty for simple pleasures such as taking time to read each day. Sending you big hugs and prayers.

[@sebtamgeospa]

And yes, loved the outfit for roller skating. Your friend landed amazingly, hope she’s OK. Her immediate reaction was not to make you fall as well. That was a super quick reaction . Go friend ❤️! Nice one!

[@sherryhook9066]

Such fun! The shops you went to look so interesting. The scenery gorgeous.I love the way your dog sleeps, lol. 🇨🇦📚📖💐💖. I will be 60 in August and still trying to figure things out. Nothing is as it is meant to be. We all need time to cry and to honour our feelings, our emotions. Take care, little one. We live in a rough world and some days, it is hard. I know.

[@user-yo1il7gf6u]

I don't normally comment here but I want to share you this quote I came across in Van Gogh's letters: "you see how in the sketch of the beach there is a blond tender effect, and in the wood there is a more gloomy serious tone. I am glad both exist in life". The same applies to ups and downs in life

[@kathleenbaker2791]

I have that Peterson’s Field Guide for birds!!!! It’s the best for sure. The art supply/stationary shops you have in Portland look amazing. I wish there were shops like that near us! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your life with us, it’s a very special gift you give. Love and hugs friend! XOXO ❤️

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello how are you doing?

[@smillahaendel8490]

I discovered your channel just recently and got addicted to your well-made and comforting videos really quickly. Since I spent half a year as an international exchange student in Portland, I especially enjoy when you take us to cozy cafés, bookstores, and the outdoors in the Portland area. Every time you visit a place I have been to you revive so many of the best memories of my life. That is why I just wanted to post this short thank-you note. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these videos and keep up the amazing work!

[@KristenMelissa]

Just knowing that you exist in the world makes my heart so happy Mo. 💗

[@MorganLong]

I feel the exact same about you, Kristen friend 💗

[@nea6466]

Hi Morgan! I just wanted to say that I appreciate the fact that you show the bad moments in your life and not only the good ones. It helps me accept the bad days in my own life. Like you said in the vlog, one cannot be happy all the time. Thank you for being an inspiration and comfort! 🌸

[@shelleyimmel8067]

It is always a good day with the poetry of Mary Oliver. I have the e-book of this book, but I feel I need to get the hardcover book. I reread several books that I have enjoyed on a regular basis. I recommend putting Mary Oliver on a re-read basis. I have found that a second and even third reading of a wondrous writer like Ms Oliver gives new or deeper meaning to the simple words on a page. Also, you need to give yourself more kindness and space to just have some days of low of no expectations. This is something I remind myself of in my retirement. I love your blogs and have been away from them for awhile so I am back now.😇

[@MichaelaCourand]

Your videos/ vlogs bring me so much comfort and it's because of your honesty and geninueness. I loved this cozy spring time vlog showing the highs and lows we all experience. I also feel bad about my life/self after spending too much time on social media. It's so hard to not get lost in comparison.

[@cinandrajames5317]

If the world were filled with more authentic beauties like you, what a more wonderful place it would be❤️.

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so so much, Cinandra friend. I have a feeling you are the kind of authentic beauty you describe ❤️

[@thecozycottage6555]

You always bring my so much joy!!!! I chose to save this to watch for my birthday today:). You did not disappoint😊. Thank you for being so real. You’re wonderful ❤.

[@danibloom3977]

Thanks for this cozy authentic video :) I love how you said you have gotten into watching birds and observing the nature around you more. During the pandemic my boyfriend got me into bird watching and I was simply shocked because suddenly we kept seeing SO MANY new birds that I had never ever noticed before even though they had been there all along. I just hadn't been looking for them or paying attention. That was quite the epiphany! And now it is so nice to know all the birds by their names and be "friends" with them. Also Portland seems so beautiful and with such a variety of different kinds of nature. You have really made me want to tavel there some day. Lots and lots of love from the Black Forest, Germany. Dani xx

[@anaduarte4327]

Thank you very much for your vídeos. They are very calming for me and you are the first and the only that I don’t miss a vídeo. You’re true to yourself and this is something you should never lose. Lots of love 🥰🙏

[@julesm9081]

Yet another amazing video Morgan every time I watch your channel I just feel like you’re SOO inspirational!! X

[@MorganLong]

Thank you SOOO much, Jules friend! X

[@julesm9081]

@@MorganLong my pleasure- it’s the truth xx

[@GeorgieCora]

Thank you for showing your weekend with all the highs and lows - I really felt for you. We all have times like those. I recently felt the same with Instagram and banned myself from looking at reels/ accounts I am not passionate about. There is such an intense feeling to compare yourself. I now follow a very small number of people (like you!) that give me energy and inspiration and that has helped greatly.

[@joysmithful]

Your videos bring happiness to my world. Thank you!!

[@briegowin306]

This is such a wholesome life, Morgan. These are the kinds of videos I find most true and good, those that show snippets of what life is like on a day to day basis, sharing time with friends and making simple memories, napping on the couch and not feeling your best, honest conversations and sharing what makes you feel a bit better. Thank you for this.

[@nessel1487]

Thank you so much for your videos! They always brighten up my day and are a much loved part of my cozy weekend-breakfast-routine :) You motivate me to actually take the time to appreciate those things in live that make me happy!

[@ATastyHike]

Wow!!! You literally blow my mind every single time! You don‘t know how much you changed my life thos last couple of months just with all your amazing videos! ♥️ Seriously, before I found your channel, I was in a place where I felt kind of lost and depressed but slowly through watching your videos, I came back to see the good things in life again. I started to appreciate the little things, the small wonders all around me again and that feels wonderful! I am so incredibly greatful that somehow (I don‘t even know how anymore), I came across your channel. It was at the exactly right time! Thank you for all of that! For your honesty and your attention to all the beautiful details this life has to offer. I don‘t know where I would be right now, if I had not found your channel! From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU! 🙏🏻♥️

[@MorganLong]

Oh friend, thank you so much for this comment! I believe I have been the same kind of depressed and lost- comfort & reassurance during that time is such a life line. It’s such a gift for me to know that my videos have helped you in any way. It’s all up from here, okay? You’re officially official, on the up & up! Cheers to the light found in simple joys ✨

[@ATastyHike]

Yes! Definitely! I finally see the light again and know which direction I want my life to go and that feels soooo good! The little things in life are soooo important and I am glad to know that now! It helps me a lot! And you are absolutely right: The community you‘ve build here is amazing! Here on KZbin as well as within your Patreon. I am so thankful to be a part of it!

[@bookshikingboots7296]

You are amazing. Even when you felt unproductive by taking a nap you essentially were still working but having Landon document it. Sending a big hug your way.

[@MorganLong]

I feel so seen by this!! Thank you so much for recognizing the fact that I'm working when I'm filming. I deal with a lot of guilt around enjoying my work/it not feeling like work but also taking so much time and energy. I appreciate you and am sending a big hug to you

[@hellofromthecocoon]

A beautiful heartfelt and truly "you" weekend. 😘🙏🏼🧚 all the love from our cocoon to yours

[@kinsleythornton7784]

It was so so nice to have this video to watch when I came home from work, watching your videos always helps me feel so much better. I always feel bad for feeling bad lol I have bad days that seem to just come out of no where for no reason and I feel crappy and then I feel bad that I'm being the way I am. After years of being around a person who criticized my being down, I am still working on not beating myself up for feeling down, even though I've been away from said person for over three years (and will never see them again thankfully) still healing from not being allowed to just feel how I felt is hard to fix. But I have someone very supportive who tells me its okay, and I'm getting better slowly.

[@kerriehurrell9722]

Hey Margan dont beat yourself up about not seeing yourself as wise at 26- I'm 58 this week and I still have so much room for improvement, and learning. I dont think I'll ever reach wise, but I'm lovely the journey ( all the hills and vales are all important). I love your honesty and you are always an inspiration even for someone at my older age xx

[@danialmansouri6865]

Hi Mo! I teared up watching you talk about your skating outfit because I felt that it was so brave of you to share your feelings with us. You’re so kind and I always feel hopeful after watching your videos. -Dani 💗

[@Maiasgothiclibrary]

100% agree with the fact that we shouldn't feel happy all of the time! I think we place so much importance on happiness that we forget other emotions matter too. Stay vulnerable, Morgan 💛 and thank you for a wonderfully comforting video 🥰
