This video really is just dedicated to me and to whoever else needs it.
I was very hesitant to post this. I think this is the most honest thing I’ve ever put out into the world which makes me pee myself a little bit but also makes me feel very free. This video is how I’m saying goodbye to that chapter of my life.
It’s hard to be honest and vulnerable. I knew there would be backlash and judgment and not everyone would understand- but it’s not about creating a message that resonates with everyone, it’s about sharing my story in hopes someone feels less alone in theirs.
There's so much more I could have said and ways I could have condensed, improved, and perfected this video but I like how messy and scattered and raw and authentic it is. Of course I recognize my opinion and perspective will change, but as of today, on some day in June 2023, this is what I have to say. So here is my messy, real, imperfect, ugly crying and screaming self - she’s not for everyone but she is for me.
Also - Thank you, all one million of you (!!!), for the last 3 years of my life. You’ve taught me so much and have truly changed my life. I’m honored to be a part of your journey, and so grateful that you’re a part of mine. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

This!! I could never cry to my parents about my mental health. They’d make some comment about how our generation is lazy , entitled and sensitive 😭 they definitely wouldn’t push me to take a break lol

[@natl869]

Linda, don't dwell over losing Gymshark as a partnership. It's not that you're not good enough or not doing enough...it's because your channel is becoming so much greater and in a direction of mental health and realism. Gymshark's vision and outlook is athleticism. There's nothing wrong with not being a great fit with Gymshark. Everyone has their own vision and it's not a direction that Gymshark represents at the moment. You're moulding your channel into something that's representing you and being the voice that others don't have. You're doing bigger things Linda by showing your vulnerability and mental health struggles that most don't see or experience. That alone will bring more meaningful partnerships.

[@mariarosario8340]

This is beautiful

[@LBBrown414]

Natasha Oceane dropped Gymshark because she didn’t agree with them and their ethos and she is more into athleticism than Linda. Natasha dropped them because she doesn’t agree with some of the “athletes” they promote as some say a lot of BS they have no idea what they tal about. I’d GS dropped Linda due to her talk more about her mental health, then that’s even more stupid. There are tons of great brands out there Linda can work with like Women’s Best

[@yashikasingh9651]

@@LBBrown414 women's best sadly isn't as great as i though it was :( their clothes that I bought from them have fallen apart in a few washes, aren't consistent sizing and I found out that they are actually run by men...but i agree with you, I hope Linda finds other great brands!

[@gracemaebrown9428]

I honestly don’t like gymshark. They don’t seem like a company that focuses on the best “athletes” for their marketing. It’s more of 1) popular influencers and 2) people that look like the “ideal” fitness influencer and creatine junkies

As a therapist, this is the MOST BEAUTIFUL, MOST REALISTIC AND MOST ACCURATE depiction of the healing journey. Healing and growth is not linear. sometimes you feel like nothing is happening and no progress is being made, then other times you feel amazing and can see how far you’ve come, and then back to square one again!! And that cycle continues until one day you find yourself on the other side, feeling happy, healed and normal!

Linda, I started watching you back in 2021. I was struggling deeply with an eating disorder, and was unaware of the extent to which it had gotten. I watched your videos to feed my starving brain with images of food, and seeing someone else eat it. I came for the food, but I stayed because of you, and because of your wise words in every video. Throughout just the last two years, I have started healing and learning to love myself alongside you. I appreciate how you show how nonlinear progress really is. I truly believe you are part of the reason I am doing so much better today, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

I cried during the whole video. I went through a burnout last year, and I am still trying to heal from all my anxiety, my self depreciation, my fear, my sadness, my despair, my eating disorder, my work addiction. I could relate to every single minute of this video. And it made me cry and cry and cry again. I actually feel kinda grateful for these tears, because they represent everything I have been holding back inside of myself for so long. "Linda" means "beautiful" in spanish, and I could never have imagined a name that would suit you better. You are such a beautiful human being, bringing light in this world. Thank you for being. ❤️

[@colourfulmind4664]

I dropped out of college at the age of 19, I felt like everyone else had it all figured out yet. I fell into a severe depression, packed my bags and moved to the other side of the country to start over. Got a job, and slowly built my broken self up again. It took me 3 years. I moved back home last year, when I felt like I was myself again. Still not there yet but I am working on it. I even got back into university and this time I am super motivated and it feels definitely like a fit! I am even a student president, which I am proud of. Just trying to put myself out there again.:) It takes time but you’ll find happiness again, I promise!

[@christinacastonguay8649]

Linda, I'm not one to comment on videos usually, but I felt like I was watching myself in so many ways. I'm almost 29 and I feel like I may have to start my life from scratch: burnt out, fresh off a breakup, lost. So many of the things you have said, I have said. Thank you for making me feel less alone. This video is so so so important for so many reasons. Know you are so incredibly loved and special, even if you may not feel it.

[@appprrriiilll]

Starting from what feels like scratch is so scary feeling. I did it a couple years ago-I got a new job and left the most toxic place I’d ever worked at, I broke up with a long time partner, had to move into a new apartment and live on my own for the first time, and I applied to graduate school. I don’t think there was a single moment where I wasn’t afraid. And then it all passed and I continued to do what felt right and what made sense for me and now I’m in such a better, healed place. You can do it. You will find peace again. ❤

I related to this SO HARD that it was painful to watch. I felt that screaming in my soul. Linda conveyed exactly how it feels to be in that place, the infuriating inability to escape yourself, hating yourself for how weak you are, knowing that you create your own reality but not being able to take control for some reason. I watched this in my car on my lunch break today and I couldn’t stop crying happy tears afterwards, realising how far I’ve come and how happy and grateful I am to be on the other side of those feelings now. I have compassion for myself and contentment for my life. Nothing in it really changed, but I did. Just know it IS possible, and you DO got this!! 💕

This is so relatable. I spent all of last and this school year in a fight/flight trauma state and with bad burnout. It's so difficult and it's rare to find people who are willing to share their similar and different experiences. And healing does feel so stagnant and invisible. I find so many similarities between what you are expressing and how I do and have felt and I thank you for sharing your experience. You remind me I'm not alone. I don't know if a therapist has ever suggested you being neurodivergent but since I started watching you that has made sense to me because I have been diagnosed and it made a lot of boxes click when before I thought I was crazy. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and voice.

Girl you honestly had me in tears during The Last Straw. It's so moving to see someone so talented feel this way. Your content is enough and so are you ❤

[@Kaylix3]

my heart broke so many times watching this.. i hope you'll always keep this mindset!

[@indiahlahm8720]

you make me feel so much less alone on this journey of finding balance. you are so brutally honest and show a side of life that most hide from social media, and I really appreciate that. thank you Linda

[@missline9204]

[@maddy.kilty.mcconnell]

Dear Linda, Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For the past 6 months I’ve felt so so so empty. Similarly to how you phrased it, I am immensely grateful for the life I have and I recognize that I am so fortunate to have these opportunities and amazing people in my life, yet still feel so lost and disconnected with who I am. I know what I love, but yet these things that I love continue to make me feel even more lost? I’m injured from my sport, and yet the injuries all my fault? I have good grades, but woah, i have to make sure I don’t get any lower or I’m a failure? Crying, binging, yelling, sleeping, eating, working, binging again … I can’t do it anymore. I want to heal. I need to heal. And you are inspiring me to do so. I’ve been watching since you were at 10k, and you have changed so much (from my perspective - I of course am only watching what has been shaped for me). I hope you continue to heal. I want to do it with you. Thank you. I send all my love from Toronto. ❤️

[@vchang826]

Lots of hugs for you. You’re so brave and inspiring. You are ENOUGH 💕 thank you for sharing. It’s seems that we are always compassionate for others but not ourselves. You deserve all the compassion you give to others and more.

[@bernadineguimary1062]

Being an influencer is amazing and extremely taxing. I could never do what you do, but you put so much good into the world. Praying for you! You are a blessing

[@secrettimebabyliv]

Thank you for being so vulnerable with us, Linda. Regardless if whatever you have in your life, if you live in "luxury", never invalidate your struggles and your feelings. You are allowed to feel unhappy, you never should feel guilty for how you feel. Watching your videos give me so much comfort, and I will always be cheering for you ❤❤

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

🥹🫶🏻 ily thank you for taking the time to write this it means a lot to me

[@Catherine_McGuinness]

I cried watching this whole video. It was so raw and so relatable ❤❤❤

[@PaigeHembroff-xm6lz]

THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH AN INSPIRATIONAL PERSON. seeing you able to share these feelings, ( breakdowns , mental struggles) is such a blessing. The concern and motivation you reflect to your viewers are sooooo beautiful. ❤❤

[@ForJoyTV]

Thanks for letting us cry with you! ❤

[@baileyhamman-lifeslittlelu1315]

First of all your mom is amazing. Second I felt and cried in almost every moment of this video. This week, this is what I needed. Thank you Linda. ❤

[@lindasunyt]

Sending you SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Angel-yd9ek]

The screaming in the car scene @11.45 really hit something in me. And then feeling completely numb and still afterwards... that feeling is undescribable. Thank you or sharing this vulnerable part of you Linda!

[@juliayplays]

im so sorry for ur drop out linda i hope u have a wonderful day i hope people in the world spread loves how u feel everything is gonna be alright

[@estherkurian9695]

This has to be one of the most beautifully thought out and spoken youtube videos. Thank you for posting this.

[@Soy_Jomi]

Your videos are one of the most inspiring videos here on this platform! You have helped so many people around the world with all your words 🧡 thank you for being you Linda! 🌻🫶🏼✨

[@HorazontalMoon]

As your fellow subscriber, I know, and I’m sure a lot of us if not all of us know that you’re a work in progress that we are all a work of progress. We watch your channel for you through all the stages of your life. No matter what kind of contact you post we will be here. We just want you to be OK. But it looks like you’ve got this and this video resonated with a lot of us because I think a lot of us are feeling this way whether we wanna except it or not. Love you, Linda.♥️♥️

[@xAuireixYukireix]

I discovered that this was me and it’s nice seeing how validated these feelings are. When you’re so passionate about something that you just forget to slow down and take time for self care is so relatable. I was crying with you and honestly this video inspired me so much especially in regards to not feeling bad about doing nothing. I have learned that I am not a robot and that I need to take my time and not get upset when things aren’t aligned for me. I really hope you find what you’re looking for Linda! ❤

[@amyli_shanshan]

You’re so strong and brave. Thank you so much for making this video and being transparent. Thank you for being yourself and willing to show your raw self. You’re not alone ❤

[@marjoleindejonge6868]

You are honestly a wonderful human Linda, hope you’ll find your inner peace and feel how beautiful and worthy you are ❤

[@mayamiyazaki150]

Linda❣ You are so much more than a youtuber. You are an incredible story-teller, an artist, essential representation for Asians, a voice for young POCs, an empath, a friend, and so much more! I can't believe how lovely you are and you are you are only 22! You are wiser beyon your years. As I grow older I feel that happiness is not conditional, and it's the human condition to be unhappy. But that's how we connect to each other; your sadness, compassion and vulnerabilty are so beautiful. As a person who has so much empathy, I think it has propelled you to your success (even though I hate this word), but it must be so exhausting that you supply your subscribers with all your empathy. Your sadness is valid, and the way you use it to connect to people sets an example to our society. Especially because we politicize happiness, then shame people for not being happy. Never change!

[@Is-mb9sv]

i didnt know how much i needed to hear this. thank you linda❤

[@stefixs974]

I see myself in the struggles you're sharing in a level so deep that my tears came before concious processing and realising the content. This video has really helped me go deeper into my emotions about similar situations I am facing. Thank you, Linda. You are actually amazing.

[@Izzy-rs7ew]

Linda, thank you for being here! Like, really, thanks it means a lot ❤

[@lindasunyt]

Thank you 🥺❤️

[@Supergeniusm]

feeling sad when I felt like I had nothing to be sad for was when I realized how depressed I was. I wish you well on your journey to heal yourself.

[@bingyilin6664]

Thank you Linda for being open, your feelings are so valid! We appreciate you.

[@emilyostern5322]

You inspire me so much, and whenever I watch your videos I smile. You make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you for all you do! And for helping me through tough times and metal health breakdowns. I truly appreciate your videos so much and always will.

[@kayrean02]

this video was *incredibly* healing. i agree so much that you don't need to have an "eat pray love" revelation because sometimes, it's a lot simpler than that! as someone who has watched you over the years, as parasocial as it may sound, i'm proud of you. it takes a lot of courage to be this vulnerable, especially sharing it with random people on the internet
