gothic summer WRITING VLOG || old library & dead poets society vibes

[@madebymalayka]

Ahh, I can't believe I missed this video 😭 The library, the sweater, the mug - the early-autumn cozy vibes are insanely good (I'm getting sick of the heat here in JA, so living vicariously through you rn) ✨️ I hope you're feeling better mentally!

[@meganbrush]

Thank you so much!! The vibes were so perfect this weekend! I'm doing much better 🥰 Thanks for being here! ❤️

Thank you for a wonderfully moody vlog! I love the long days of light during the summer but struggle with the heat, too (doesn't go too well with writing). Even though I'll miss late evening swims in the sea, I'm looking forward to autumn and welcome it. Congratulations on your writing and outlining process! I'm writing daily and managing 300-1,000 words, but happy with those too :)

Late evening swims in the sea sound heavenly 🥰 Writing daily is a massive achievement so you should be happy! Congrats, friend! Thanks for being here 🥰

Lefties unite! I also deal with seasonal depression during the summer. Doesn’t help that i live in the south USA where summers are brutal. Makes me not want to do anything! I really enjoy how cozy and laid-back your content is while still being productive. :) Fall is so close I can taste it! I already have pumpkin puree for my coffees ready to go. 🍂 🎃☕✨

Fall is soo close! And thank you for your kind words 🥰❤️ Thank you for watching and commenting!

I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I have to say, it’s been really cool seeing how much they’re improving as you go! This one was so atmospheric and cozy and it motivated me to try to embrace the last bit of summer, even though I’m not a fan of it. This was such a good video, I’ll definitely be coming back to rewatch!

[@meganbrush]

Thank you so much - for your kind words and for watching for a while 🥰🥰 I hope you can embrace this season and find some joy!

I fully understand the seasonal depression in summer and get it myself, but for different reasons. Also, when you were walking around outside in the sweatshirt, I almost had heatstroke at just the thought 😂 I live in the south east of the US where 90s are average and 100s+ are pretty common. I also love what you're doing with setting yourself your own mood and bring fall in early. And don't forget to try a Sarasa Dry (pen). I've rec'd it to a lot of my leftie friends and they love it.

[@meganbrush]

Ohh yes thank you for the reminder! I realized after your comment that I already use and love that pen! It's the sterling ink paper that's no good for smudging. It's super thin and smooth. And we've been having some pretty unreasonably cold weather here in Toronto! I'm not complaining!

I’m so with you. I truly hate hot weather - while we don’t tend to get truly fierce temperatures, it is humid heat and it is like I’m allergic to it - I feel so enervated, doing anything takes twice as much effort, and I sleep so badly. I count the days until the cool of Autumn. And people will literally Tell you to shut up if you say this - we’re not allowed to hate summer 😡 Anyway, rant over - setting down to watch the rest of this video. Love your aesthetic!

[@meganbrush]

Thank you! And it sounds like you understand. The hardest part is the gaslighting from others and yourself (especially when they think you are just being difficult). I feel like I come alive again in the wintertime! Thanks for being here 🥰🥰

I'm definitely more of a spring/autumn person myself, but I've been making an effort to try to appreciate summer more this year, and I'm beginning to understand why it's such a popular season. (Although, the insanely hot temperature means that it will never truly be my favorite.) But you touch on a good point, which is that summer as an adult can be weird. Because yes, it is a season that's associated with fun and adventure, but also...you're working the whole time. And especially in North America, unless you live in a country with good vacation/POT, it can be kind of hard to really make summer feel like summer. I'm noticing that now more than ever, now that I'm actively trying to have a "fun summer." But anyway, fall is almost here, and that comes with lots and lots of fun little things. Wishing you the best! Lovely video as always!!

[@meganbrush]

Thank you! You summarized exactly what I was getting at. I love summer for the swimming and camping and adventuring.. but it's really difficult to have a summer full of that in this season of my life. One day, hopefully! That being said, I try to lean into the fun parts of summer much like you. It's just hard some days/weeks. Thanks for being here 🥰🥰
