birthday vlog 🍰: aesthetic picnic, what I got for my birthday + anne of green gables vibes 👒

[@ashleigh_whatever]

It broke my heart when you said you didn't have friends while growing up, you are such a beautiful, kind and caring person, the other kids were missing out on a true friendship.

[@DarlingDesi]

It wasn’t their fault, I was so painfully shy. I used to ask my mom to call my friend next door to see if we could play because I was too scared to call myself. I had amazing friends during university though 💗☺️

[@wendypotter640]

This is actually encouraging for me to hear,my son has such a lovely character but due to his shyness has trouble forming friendships.X

[@pieceaisa5046]

@@wendypotter640i was the shy girl growing up! didn’t say a word til 4th grade, like actually. i never talked at school unless spoken to first and when necessary. i was really excited and jumpy at home though. if your son is anything like me, he’ll learn one day that there are some people he can be comfortable around and let them see his true self and that he doesn’t have to hide himself to be protected.

It’s really interesting how Cinematic these videos are. It’s obvious that there is an aspect of fiction because of the amount of planing that clearly went into making these videos. It is so absolutely entertaining and aesthetic and beautiful. And the fact that I know that the realistic side behind the video is far different from what is being shown, I don’t feel like I’m being deceived into thinking that the lives being lived in this video is perfect. It’s purposefully optimistic and fantastical and I love everything about it.
