it's been a while 🌿

Dear Airies ✨
It’s been a very long time hasn’t it? I know I know we always say the same thing, upload a video and then vanish for a loooong time period but hopefully this time we’re back for sure.
We wanted to dedicate a video by itself about why we’ve been gone on KZbin as well as share our own thoughts about comparison, procrastination, lack of motivation and the passing of time.
I think that 2020 was the year where we were the best version of ourselves, in terms of being active and following our heart and focusing on our passion which is producing videos but also academically, spiritually and generally 🙌🏻 but since starting uni it became more difficult for us to be as active and then procrastination hit us so badly that even though we had many ideas and plans we couldn’t fulfil any of them and consuming content became the easier route for us than creating content 🥺
But we’ve come out of this rut hopefully and are so so excited to be back here again, to continue sharing our little moments of joy in our life and to use this beautiful platform for good things 🤍
We’re on the road to become the best versions of ourselves instead of comparing ourselves with the past and hope that you can accompany us on this journey. We hope that you will continue being our support because it was all thanks to you that we came to where we are now and we’re forever grateful for all the love and encouragement 🥰
We missed you a lot and are so happy to be here with you.
See you soon.
Always stay safe and healthy.
Hope you enjoy this video and as always thank you so so much for watching ❤️
~
Lots of love,
Milkcloud

Nice to see you again. We appreciate all your dedication and hard work on this channel.

[@marcelproust4005]

I don't know if you are reading this or not, but I have to say that you are my favorite KZbin channel. Your videos always make me happy and calm and motivate me. miss you so much 🧡

[@rabbichi4746]

often times, i find myself scrolling mindlessly to short videos and then i remember how much joy and peace it gives me to watch long videos like these. i hate being addicted to mindless scrolling. hopefully, when i get back into my usual routine ill be better. its good to see you back :)

[@CrystalBallPieces]

I feel so honored that you guys felt like you could be open and honest with us. I sat and watched your video feeling like I was sitting down with my two friends, and they were telling me how life's been for them this year. Hearing everything that you've said reminds me of some reassurances I've heard. I believe that talent takes work, and work takes discipline. I also believe that discipline and rest must coexist, in order for them to be effective. Your channel has brought me such rest in times when I could not find it. Perhaps this has been a time for you to have the rest you've needed.🌷 Continue taking care of yourselves, and the channel will take care of itself as a result. Love, Rachel💜

I really don't like "shorts" here on KZbin. Always watch the full videos that the creator that I like makes. Yours are so beautiful, like a movie, so I'm happy that you are back!!! Lots of love!!! ❤❤❤

[@swirlyimp]

THRILLED to see you back again. Please PLEASE don't be hard on yourself. These are definitely scary times, but together as a community we can lift each other. No judgement, no looking back, just upwards and onwards. You are not alone, you are loved, and wanted. Take care. Hugs from a grandma, and a fan, in northern US.

[@NDB.]

Whenever I am sad or feel lost, I watch your videos and they make me feel at home. The peace and happiness your calming videos give me in this fast paced world is something I am really grateful for. Thank you milkcloud.

[@Jennifer-ix8nd]

I know it’s hard not to overthink and compare ourselves to others but know that you’re enough, you’re more than enough and we all love your videos. You both have inspired me so much and I’m sooo happy you uploaded a new video! take care of yourselves 🤍 btw I still prefer long videos over short ones, that’s why I like KZbin!

[@littleblackinkdrop31]

So happy to see another video. I can recognise myself a lot in your feelings, it's a struggle, so thank you for once again expressing yourself and sharing it with us. I think a lot of us are dealing with the same. I've been following your videos from the beginning and what I love about it, is the peacefulness. You two show the beauty of the world in really small things. And it always makes me feel happy. I really hope you are doing ok. My own big struggle is in my writing. I'm a writer with all my heart, but because of putting so much pressure on myself and expecting so much, I've barely written anything the last few years. I thought that by now, at almost 30, I should already have published something. It's just hard with a full-time job and with time passing by so hard I'm just afraid that I'll never end up being able to finish writing projects and be the writer I've always wanted to be.

[@user-uh9ht8zk3i]

I know it's hard for you guys to be back in here as there are many chaos happening in this world right now. I deeply understand the both of you for not uploading too much videos. As long as you guys are safe and doing well, then I'm happy too. Take your time to cope with things up and we will see you guys soon again. Take care, loves! 🤍

[@joy_moth]

I missed your videos so much and i'm so happy you decided to act on your passion again.These are the things that keep us alive Lot's of love and i'm excited to see what's coming

[@user-ue5cn3iu9s]

Peace of mind ✨✨ Just by watching your videos.. i feel so calm Lots of love 🥂

[@AnneOfCottage]

Milk and cloud. You both mean alot to alpt of us. For me personally you have indeed changed the way I precive the world in the most positive way possible. I jave become so grateful, reflective and at peace with myself because of this channel even though I've only been watching for 2 years. Please never stop or doubt yourself. You mean a lot to us and this channel is a safe space. 🤍☁️

[@Sakeenahshabnam]

I 've been missing your vlog soo much....kinda heart breaking to know that people r not interested in long videos....idk how they can be...anyways keep on uploading videos...your videos feels like therapy❤️

[@ChantelleArts]

you are so inspiring, its lovely to see your videos again ❤❤

[@amrafathima7726]

yeah! its been a while , its just that all are going through their life that they often forget themselves . it was good to see you again hope you are doing good and everything's going good!

[@potatorobot]

yalls videos are always a little piece of calmness and joy whenever i see them, its so nice to be able to have the two of you here so thank you for creating whenever you do

[@shriyabhattacharya1889]

I got tears in my eyes. See how beautifully you have designed this video. And it's been a long time we have seen you. So much has changed in your room. Several new additions. Your journal making encouraged me to start my own journal. ❤🎉

[@Sunflower-op7jn]

Thank you for not giving up😭 I'm scared for quit sometime because you guys didn't post anything on youtube..I glad now you did. I appreciate it a lot because I really love your guys channel🤍🪐

[@zay2070]

Welcome back! We all love your videos. Life gets busy and its easy to give up passions and let the negative thoughts control what makes you feel most proud and gratified. Just know that we don't expect big elaborate videos which drain you. Make sure videos are enjoyable for you to make first and foremost. We will always enjoy your content no matter what it is.

[@dreamerneen]

Your channel is like a therapy for me. Every time i come and rewatch your videos, i forget all the stress and worries. And your videos are a combination of everything i love: faith, art, studio ghibli, books, sky, nature, sky etc. Please, I hope you will keep creating beautiful and calm videos and keep this channel running, because it is been helping us cope with life. Love you, from Karakalpakstan

[@anastasiyatalatay8353]

I'm so happy you're back and looking forward to see your videos, was missing a lot

[@surabhi_bharadwaj]

i’m so glad that you are back. this channel is my safe and happy place 🥹🤍🫶🏻

[@chocolatecat64]

Im sorry that you've both been struggling with these feelings. Your honesty and openness is admirable, to say the least. I hooe that from this small step forward you find healing and are able to create and find the things you truly want. Best wishes 🙂

[@sumaiya.670]

Welcome back love❤ I hope you and your sister are doing fine. Missed your videos. How’s life and uni going? I am sorry that you are going through all of these feelings and I can relate to you on another level. Not being able to fulfil your goals, constantly comparing yourself to the past, not being productive and just endless comparisons, this is just what happens with me throughout the day. I keep thinking and thinking and do nothing and at the end of the day regret that I wasted another day. But that’s how some years of life are going to be. Some years we accomplish so much that we think no one can stop us and some years life is filled with so gloom that you feel like you will never come out of it. But as it’s said no sadness lasts forever, and no happiness lasts forever. It’s okay that If you weren’t able to fulfil your goals and to-do lists, you survived this year and that’s a big achievement in itself. I have been feeling this way since 2020, life has been quite upside down but at the end of the day, you have to show up for yourself. We shouldn’t rely on these negative thoughts, we should just keep moving and doing our best. Leave the rest to Allah. I hope the next year for you and me is filled with productivity, no negative self-talk, no comparisons and just love and gratitude. Also please don’t compare yourself to your past, comparison is the thief of joy. Just keep doing what you love, despite the views or responses you get❤

[@springdays8813]

Watching this video after a long period feels like returning home , I was and I would be part of the milk cloud family 🤍☁️💌

[@cheesewinefig]

I’m so glad you guys are back ❤ your videos always inspire me to look for little bits of magic throughout my day, which gets harder and harder the longer you spend in adulthood 🌈 looking forward to whatever you choose to share with us next!

[@nisamorin2519]

Welcome back - whenever you feel ready ... ❤️ We're always here, and appreciate your videos!🥰 Please take good care of yourself.❤ I'm sending you both lots and lots of love ❤️💞❤️🌻

[@novelynbalbuena6331]

I’m currently experiencing anxiety right now, but you’re videos always calm me. Thank you for uploading again. I appreciate your effort and dedication in making videos for us, I will always support you. Tbh, what you have said on this video is very relatable. Thank you for speaking out our minds. Sml❤️

[@dess_lay16]

it's totally ok if you need to take time to find motivation again, we love your yt channel and your videos, and we will be here anytime you post something new. don't force yourselves to do something while you're not enjoying it, if you need to take time we will wait, dw

[@emmas-diary]

Dear Milk, dear Cloud, You both have inspired me to start my own channel. I too took a break and coming back I wondered what you two were doing. That you decided to upload a video just when I was thinking about your channel brought me lots of joy and I felt understood because your struggles resonate with me as well. Take all the time you need even though I understand that time is a scary concept. I have and always will enjoy your videos and support you. Thank you for your hard work. I look forward to seeing your new videos. Lots of love to you as well!

[@Cookie_Comment]

hi, milkcloud :) it’s been a bit since i’ve visited this channel. i have to admit, i have been sucked into the shorter videos, but often they’re too much to take in at once. suddenly, hours of boggling noise pass and i just need to slow down. i’m so thankful you guys are ok. i need you guys and your comfort every day :’) i really, really appreciate you two.

[@pluvvio]

i agree sm!!

[@Slushiecupp]

Thank you for always posting your videos. It's my remedy when I am overthinking and thinking I am not being good enough but your videos always calms me, motivates me, help me cherish all the little things in life that matters. It makes me feel alive.

[@milkcloud]

thank you so much for these kind words 🥺✨ you're good enough 🤍

[@pluvvio]

🥛☁, welcome back!! it's been a while indeed. i remember binge watching your videos all the time & trying to comment on every video you guys posted. it's crazy how i started watching milkcloud during the beginning of my high school year which made me fall in love with nature during the pandemic, appreciating the little things we have & admiring them, journaling/painting them too! not only that, but watching your videos made me fall in love with taking photos/vlogging everything around me and now this is my last year of high school so coming back on here feels so so nostalgic & a bit emotional haha because growing up seems so scary, i'm worried about where i'll be in the future but i'm grateful to have found your channel amidst the chaos due to your calming videos which is definitely what made me fall in love with this channel, the slow pace of them/long videos + grow up with you guys, i definitely think it's so important to remember why you began this passion, and what your hopes/dreams were in the beginning, and after watching this video, i can see how difficult of a year it has been for you guys. like someone in the comments said on here: 'continue taking care of yourselves, and the channel will take care of itself as a result.' until then, take care!! 🌱🌱

[@my.daysss]

i’m so happy you’re back 🥺 I will always look forward for your content in the future! you will always be my favourite youtube channel, you inspire me a lot!

[@Jian8865]

Keep going what’s in your fate will not go anywhere ❤ I’m really inspired by your art even you feel it’s not enough just upload it without concerning result❤❤❤

[@justineeyereese]

Welcome back! 💓 Creating something can get very difficult. I totally relate with planning and having lots of video ideas but not being able to record the video. It can get frustrating and I have learned to take my time, to 'just focus on the step in front of you and not the whole staircase', and understanding that making videos is just one part of my life. Again, welcome back! I can't wait to watch the videos you create 💞

[@user-uy3ht1ob9r]

Herzamanki gibi muhteşem 💖

[@suzannealsayde7858]

Happy to see this video! I must say you two are huge inspiration to me for a long time now and I understand you’re feeling that long form content is not being consumed anymore in favor of short videos. But I assure you there are a lot of us out there who still love you’re videos and content and refuse to give into what the algorithms want to change. You’re videos are a source of calm and happiness for many of us!! I hope this finds you well and gives you the assurance you need🤍🌻✨

[@FaBiHaEsHa]

Don't lose your hope. Keep doing what you love, and don't focus on the views and comments. Sometimes, I feel that my videos aren't getting views, but as long as I'm satisfied, I'm happy, and that's what matters the most ❤

[@maitochondria]

I missed u guys so much. I have been watching you guys for so long as a silent viewer. U guys were a part of my life and hopefully still will be. Thank for u showing me how to love what life is and take strength from everyday things. Pls always take care of yourself in sha allah everything will be in place

[@angelicaandia2210]

Hello. I’m a silent fan. Your channel has been my comfort ever since. Thankful that I found you. You inspire me a lot and you calm my soul. I hope you have been doing well. Its nice to see you again and looking forward to see more calming videos. Thank you for coming back and and as always I will be waiting! 🤍

[@minimochi9219]

although we are strangers i still miss you, watching all the videos that you had produced. you are an inspire to me that i start journaling, reading books which i have been leaving it for a long time, painting and drawing even though i am not good at it, finding things i enjoy myself instead of being sad thinking of the bad day and the unknown future. thank you for exist and share bits of your life in this channel. i am thank you for that. all i want you to know i will always be here waiting for you milkcloud

I couldn't believe that you were feeling not good enough. You are much more than being enough ♥️

[@deniseramirez9706]

So nice to see you again after moving back home. Hope you are doing well with that and enjoying yourselves. You know I think many people are going through the same thing be it with making videos, journaling, crafting, painting, etc. We get busy , our lives change, and it doesn't help that the world itself is going through so much change. However, you ladies should continue to do the things that make you happy no matter how many views or likes you get because at some point you have made someone happy or inspired them. That's what counts. 🥰🤗

[@arzoayar]

I've been experiencing something similar this year but I am SO excited for more videos from you guys!!!! Can't waitttt

The darkest dark will eventually see its crack of dawn. I still remember how you guys became my daybreak during the hard times of the pandemic, with all the new normal and lockdown happening. I'm now in my 3rd year of college, and I seek escape from all the overwhelming academic work. Thank you for bringing me and us some comfort and peace. I hope you find this message uplifting from someone you once and again helped find peace in her chaotic mind. Lots of love for the both of you.💚

[@aleenakhan6230]

I have a tip for your channel: please look at your analytics and note when your viewers are clicking off of your videos. I have especially noticed with your "draw with me" videos that almost the entire video ends up being just a timelapse of the art with music playing in the back. Speed drawing videos are already not that popular anymore, and if all the video offers is a 10 - 15 minute timelapse with music then I would expect most viewers to click off out of disinterest (or they will just skip to the end when you show the final result). I think for your drawing videos the only interesting part is the beginning when you are setting out your supplies and talking about what you plan to draw/paint 😅. In a world of short form content, 15 minute long timelapses are just not interesting enough. Because viewers are clicking off, this tells the KZbin algorithm that your videos are not that interesting and they will recommend your video less. This can really hurt your channel over time. To increase the viewer's attention in speed drawing videos, most people include a voice over/narration while the video is playing in the back. (I have included this video as an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjCdqKQjdZnms0si=-kTQ458Abb4RT6iK. As you can see, she talks the entire time. This will keep people engaged in the video and decreases the amount of people getting bored and clicking off.) I know that you are uncomfortable speaking in your videos, but you can do the same thing with you captions! I know it may seem like there is not much to talk about, but there is. Talk about the artwork, the supplies you used, what is going on in your life right now, uni life, the problems that happened while creating the art, the books you are reading, the shows you are watching, some of your philosophical thoughts, etc. You can talk about anything in the captions! Please try and have the captions going on during the whole speed paint, and more people will start watching the whole video from start to end. KZbin will think your video is interesting and start recommending it more, and your views will increase! For vlogs and hauls I think what you are doing is okay. I saw in the cleaning the gouache palette video it also suffered from a lack of captions so the video was a little boring for the majority of it. I hope I did not come across as too harsh, but I have just been sooo sad seeing your channel struggling for the last while. But you don't strike me as people who create videos for money or views, but simply because you love to create videos ❤. You two are honest and hardworking people and I really wish more of the world could see the passion and love you put into making your videos. I know that what you are currently experiencing is so demotivating, but please don't give up and keep pushing!! We are rooting for you. You can do it!!!!!

[@sudenazaydn8450]

Merhaba türk müsün

[@_biomacromolecules7782]

To dearest milk and cloud🤍 Your beautiful videos inspired me to paint again and actually try to make some good art, worthy of being shared and preserved. I also thought it would be a great idea to film my painting process because I wanted to capture a little bit of my life to look back on. It is so hard to make something so beautiful. Having the vision is just a small part of being able to execute an idea. And yet you have done that many times over. Your videos are absolutely beautiful and healing. You should be very proud of your whole channel because it is a masterpiece. And i hope nothing ever makes you think otherwise 🤍

[@youarerosee]

Like always Milkcloud❤️‍🩹 is my the most favourite channel.
