20 Something Diaries | busy days in nyc, going through a creative rut, spending time with loved ones

Hello friends,
It's been a very busy and social March for me! There were lots of personal life events going on and I've just been enjoying time with my loved ones so I haven't been vlogging as much. I'm also going through a little bit of a creative rut and I'm trying to give myself patience and grace to overcome it. There may be some experimental videos coming up so stay tuned! Thank you for sticking by me and for supporting this channel 🥹♥️
xx,
Julia

I don’t find your content to be repetitive! Love just hearing you share your day to day and even your workday vids!

[@anastasia775]

I also don't find your content repetitive. Everyone's preferences different, but personally I love watching vlogs with regular daily activities like working-cooking-grocery shopping etc. etc. Don't doubt yourself and keep up the great work Julia!

[@RafaelaNavarro]

Silent viewer here. I don’t think your vlog are repetitive at all!!!! I love having a fee minutes in my day to watch your video and almost hang out with you!! keep going, do what you like 🤍🫰🏻

[@littlepuns]

I recently stumbled upon your vlog and found myself binging a lot of the videos. There is something very calming, approachable, and down to earth about your content. As an shy introvert with social anxiety this is the highest praise I can give, lol. Please don't feel pressured to continuously push out content, but please also note I find nothing repetitive about your current content. Thank you for sharing and for motivating me to continue to develop my data analytical skills (I have a nutrition degree and looking to pivot).

[@amberjohnsonlogan]

Julia- the reason I share your channel with so many young (and old like me) people is because it not entertainment, it is informational. Life is repetitive- I think that the rhythms of life can look repetitive to some, but I know they are the markers of a life well lived. Well planned. Please know that I appreciate you sharing your life- your vlogs are beautiful and inspiring - and whatever you create is enough.

[@reemkhattar]

Completely bawled my eyes out when I saw the clips with your dad. Great content ❤

[@helloitsbryony]

Just popping in to the comments to say I love your content and don’t ever find it repetitive at all! I love hearing and seeing snippets of your life, I find it so calming and cosy. Creative slumps are so hard to overcome but you’ll get there!

[@ktu3078]

this was such a wholesome vlog😭the relationship that you have with your sisters and dad >>

[@katarinapina]

I find it comforting watching vlogs surrounded around just regular days. Sometimes it is the mundane day to day vlogs that I really look for. In a way it is nicer to see not so hectic or jam packed content, it feels real. I stumbled upon your account and was just drawn to your content. It may just be my curiosity or preference, but I find your content and channel to be one I really look forward to watching. I appreciate your content and willingness to share your life with the internet. Just know that you aren't alone in the mundane, same shit new day life, and just create and put out what you want to share. Thank you Julia for sharing :)

[@aandhlam8688]

I know I’m not looking for anything “new” and “exciting” every video Julia. It’s just nice to see someone else’s day.

[@aninditab57]

I discovered your channel last year and your weekly/biweekly/monthly vlogs are such a bright ray of sunshine in my days because I truly love watching you go about your day. I am an aspiring data scientist/ analytics professional so I am always interested whenever you show work stuff, but everything apart from work stuff is also so interesting to me. I am sorry you got a comment like that that made you question what you are doing. You might have a format that you adhere to but that does not make your vlogs repetitive - I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs so much. 2 years is such a long time, wow. When I saw the beginning part of the video I thought your dad was going to China for a few months but yeah, parents are such incredible figures in our lives. Even though we are independent working individuals we always like having our parents around us. Also the fridge cleaning lmao reminded me of when I cleaned mine 2 weeks back and almost threw my back out because of how arduous it was and I had been postponing cleaning the fridge for a while now. Don't be like me, deep clean your fridge every month. xD Looking so forward to your next vlogs, whenever you choose to post them. xx

[@samlab2935]

i dont agree ! your content is fun, its comforting and real🤍 . I mean its normal that some stuff is often in videos (cleaning working etc) but thats part of your routine and life.

[@nyamburanjagi5697]

Your content is awesome... that's why those of us who choose to watch your content keep coming back. One thing I would love to see more of is cooking scenes. I find your recipes really different & interesting. I enjoy watching the cooking process.

[@ko_grindz]

I hope you reading this Julia but you are a great KZbinr. Don’t give up on your dreams, keep your head up. We all in this together. I love your videos and I been watching your channel for a year now. Keep going despite the challenges and the negativity. I hope you have a blessed weekend❤

[@justinreyes2064]

1. Your relationship with your dad and sisters is lovely to see. 2. Subtitles really said "MSM" for MapleStory Man 😂 3. Cracked up when you said judgement free zone but continued to give a not-so-judgement-free look 4. Think it's important to remember that this KZbin channel is your own and you're free to post the content that you want. Seems evident from other comments that your Subscribers enjoy your vlogs, myself included. So don't let 1 comment get you down As always, can't wait for the next video!

[@sandraryder-smith3547]

Oh Julia, I've missed your content so much. I so enjoy seeing your everyday life and don't find it mundane at all. I live in Indiana and love to see the NYC life. I eagerly look for updates to your channel every day. I have been worried about you with your extended delays in vlogging. Don't despair. You have a midwest fan who loves what you do!

[@xxbabydeenguyen]

Your content is not repetitive!! I love every video you create for us

[@darlenegordon5089]

I’ve been watching your channel for maybe about 6 months and I don’t find your content to be repetitive, but I will say your vlogs are very simplistic-by that I mean I would like to know more (on a deeper level) about your life and your struggles. What makes you happy and what makes you sad-what your goals and aspirations are. I think that you, Julia, only want to let your viewers in just so much and I get that totally. so you shouldn’t feel self-conscious or that your content is not interesting it is, but I think you should also realize that the more you show us about you, the more engaged we will be with your life. Love your channel! ❤

[@fei518]

The small cartoon in the beginning is creative and new☺️ love your videos ❤

[@cristinaelliottgarcia]

I love your content!!! I don’t find it at all repetitive. I even hace rewatched many of your videos just because I love to see the day to day (wake up, office, coffee, shopping for groceries etc). Keep going because it’s really interesting and comforting to watch!!!

[@dreamingofpemberly]

Everything will get better, and here lately when I've been in a rut, I've thought of the "there's always tommorow" song from the 1964 Christmas classic Rudolph th red-nosed reindeer. As far as the fridge, I feel your pain. My fridge broke last month, but unfortunately it was older so had to get a new one. Long story short after two fridges, yes, you heard that right, third fridge works. Glad you were visiting kin and also was able to get aid. After my experience with complete fridge replacements, all I can say is have a couple meals non-perishablevas was as room temperature beverages on standby but happy to know you get free food and such as well...

[@michaelperfect]

I don't know how to say that.. watching the part when you're with your siblings and dad and you talk about your childhood and how being open to your parents made you closer to them, is the answer I needed, it resonates to me so much right now as I'm going through something kind of similar.. It's like a sign. I'm glad I watched your video 🌼

[@bonnysvan]

it's honestly not repetitive! i love every single vlog, even if you do the same stuff in every video it's fine, i love seeing someone else's life! makes me inspired just to watch, whatever it is that you do. Keep going julia

[@kmms4720]

Content creation can naturally be draining just for the factor that you feel like you always have to come out with something new and exciting and creative. But even also feeling like you always have to be looking out for content. Remember that this is your art, your medium. Us viewers tune in because we can enjoy it genuinely because we know It was made with care. I’m sorry it’s been a challenge. One day at a time!

[@MsJisola]

Always great content! Two things: for the noise at night, if you have not already done so, I recommend ear plugs. I used work at night and sleep during the day, ear plugs were a life saver! In regards to the comment about repetitive content, I'm glad you are not taking it negatively. I recently re-read Don Miguel Ruiz's book The Four Agreements. One of the agreements talks about accepting what people tell us and then we make an agreement with ourselves based on what the person said. Accepting the repetitive comment would be making an agreement with yourself that your content is indeed repetitive. Hopefully the time you have taken away to be with family and just be Julia, is an opportunity to make the changes you feel you need to make. Stay awesome, Julia! 😊👍🏾

[@carolinehenson5505]

julia, i loooooove your content and don’t find it repetitive. i find it interesting and comforting! it feel like hanging with a sweet friend. i recommend a sound machine intended for babies (i use the yoga sleep rohm one). it has helped me so much, and i no longer wake up to neighbors, sirens, etc.

[@herspace08]

I don't think your content is repetitive. Don't let it bother you. I love your video and like me, there are 107k people who love watching you and love you for who you are... So never doubt yourself and keep going Julia 🤗😘

[@emrobi4668]

Thank you for your vlogs !! It’s always interesting to me even if it’s just to vlog ! I don’t live in New York and what you do is always diverting! Thank you for all that you do for free !! So why complain ❤

[@diyaghosh5104]

Your dad is so adorable 🥰 even all of your sisters ❤️❤️. The way you guys hugged him n he did that was so so sweet. Today's video was completely wholesome ❤️.

[@annnajx]

this was my fav video of yours :,) the family + friend bits and personal reflection I loved

[@TheMisschrisaz]

What a great vlog, Julia 😊. That night out with your dad and sisters looked like so much fun! I always find your vlogs interesting, even if it’s just day-to-day stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@haleyfranker]

Karaoke with your dad was so CUTE! I'm sorry you'll have to spend some time apart for a few years, I can imagine how difficult that will be. But maybe we'll get some fun China vlogs :) And don't worry about your content being "repetitive" (I don't think it is). It's always such a joy to watch your videos, no matter what you're doing. I always love seeing you hang out with friends, and see all the delicious food you eat at restaurants and make at home. You have such a cozy channel, and I think that's why so many people love watching your videos! Keep up the great work! Wishing you a good night's sleep too!

[@yersg9510]

Hi Julia! I love your content, it feels like hanging out with a friend :) i specially liked one segment where you talked about shows and kdramas you were binging. It's interesting to see what people like to watch. Anyway keep doing what you do, you are doing great!😊

[@emmahy5080]

Hi Julia, I wanted to say that your video always motivates me to work harder and enjoy my day to day life, as I am also a twenty something year old working in big corporate - I can resonate so much with you! I see your videos as if I am listening to a close friend, sending lots of love from Tokyo❤️

[@BigScalyBird]

“This is a judgment free zone… kind of” 😂 I actually really enjoy these vlogs - to see your 9-5 working and social life in nyc

[@vivianasousa6998]

I don't usually comment on videos and i just found your channel, but i wanna say that i've been loving your content lately, i find it very inspiring and relaxing, definitely can feel that you put a lot of work into it despite all the events going around in your life! Keep up the good work, i'll definitely stick around for more vlogs ♡

[@honeynmae]

I love the new intro so much 🥹🫶🏽

[@booksn]

i don't find your vlogs repetitive! there's something them that feels so soothing and therapeutic :") but i also miss your fashion content a lot hehe

[@Sabrina_Saldana]

Love watching your videos and don’t find them repetitive. Also the community you’ve built here is so kind. I feel like I’ve found my people and that’s a credit to you because you draw in what you are! 😌

[@ch64321]

love & relate to Nicole’s comment at 7:28 😂🙌💪 I am currently in my enjoy what i want & don’t care era

[@BrittneyMo]

Hey Julia, I find your content relaxing actually. It may be repetitive but my life is repetitive too 99% of the time! Lol you’re just choosing to share your life with us which I appreciate. I just find a sense of comfort in watching how other people live their lives. And I know on the internet most of what we see is only the good stuff but that’s fine. These videos are a little 10-20 minute escape from my repetitive life so please continue with your content but only when you feel up to it. Forcing things won’t bring joy. I enjoy all your videos from hauls/try ons to ones about your job even though I know nothing about being a data scientist. Your editing, music choice, and demeanor is what makes these videos enjoyable and calming to me. And sometimes on your videos I just don’t know what to comment or I feel like my comment will be an essay long so I just stay mute. But please know we love your content and I appreciate your sharing aspects of your life with the public.

[@BrittneyMo]

Also there are lots of content creators online. So if someone finds your content repetitive in a bad way then they can find someone else to watch. There’s an audience for all and most people like me follow multiple creators. Whatever mood I’m in depends on who’s video(s) I’m watching at the moment. So feel free to explore more creatively if it’s for yourself and your own enjoyment and/or growth but always stay true to yourself because that’s why we subscribe. 🙂

[@summertyme9046]

You're doing great! Your content has ebbs and flows bc life does and thats what you vlog about. Don't be too hard on yourself.

[@novaleelmw]

Loop earplugs have some really good soft earplugs for sleeping that might help with the noise ❤

[@mafalda659]

i don't find your content repetitive at all. I think is tuthful.... life can be this way. Honestly your content inspires me to do better. I am the same age as you and I wish I planned more my day, be more productive, cook more healthy meals. you make me want to do that. Please don't change! When I see your vlogs I think, "i wish i was friends with her" :) I have also been struggling at work in this past month, you're not alone. We have to keep going, we are all living life for the 1st time

[@tiiulausmaa2427]

I'm gonna join the choir here and say that I don't find the videos repetitive, or to be precise I love the routine kind of things that you do and show. It's a bit of an antidote to this crazy volatile world we're living in.

[@dainarguilles]

hi julia dropping a comment to let you know that i specifically watch your content. your vlogs arent repetitive altho they are quite similar but thats exactly what brings me back every time. its familiar. its normal. its real. and i love your contents for that. youre doing a great job julia 😊

[@SJ-zw4cw]

I personally love your vlogs. I find them to be very relaxing and peaceful. Real life for most people is mundane!

[@pigglyjiggity2407]

lol the cougar part in the vid. i think it'll be fun to watch a vid of the 3 of you doing a friends qna (girl talk, career, etc)

[@mmayreekb]

Silent viewer here. I really like your vlog. It’s so soothing to watch. And just to let you know that life can be repetitive and that’s totally fine! Have a nice day Julia 😊

[@TheLeaveTaking]

Hi Julia, I don't find your content to be repetitive at all! Or, if it is, that's fine, because everyday life can get a little repetitive 😉 you do you! Perhaps, though, you could show some spots /cultural activities in New York? I always like to see that kind of stuff. Or show your favorite recipes?

[@kate18punk]

You're videos actually is pretty good and very calming. Not boring at all. I love watching them from Greece. ❤❤❤ Much love for your content ❤❤❤❤❤

[@laurazakanych9048]

Hi, newish viewer here! Well, I actually think you're videos are quite calming and very enjoyable to view. I have noticed the graphics at the beginning have been new, although I could be wrong. If they are, and I've also enjoyed all of them, then I'd say you're not in a rut! Thank you for the videos! 🙂

[@amiistar11]

I absolutely loved your recent “day in the life of a data scientist” i can see it was a huge hit on YT. The way you explained everything and went through a step by step of what you was doing, please do more of them

[@hasina6481]

Hey Julia. I don’t think your content is repetitive. I enjoy seeing you live your day to day life. I think your life is pretty interesting to be honest. :) I’ve never been to NYC (I live in a very small city down south), so seeing people living in NYC is fascinating to me. Hopefully, I’ll visit next summer (maybe move there in the future). Even if you think your content is repetitive, don’t feel bad. I think we all feel that way sometimes. I’ve learned that humans naturally crave new experiences and adventures (even though life is not like that ALL the time). So try not to feel bad. I think we all feel that way time to time. I’m sorry you won’t be seeing your dad for such a long time. Let’s hope he stays safe. Girl keep on shining. I’m rooting for you! ✨😁

[@carmenguevara6152]

I mean most of us, follow kind of the same rutine every single day, so for me it's fun to see the content of somebody who goes into a lifestyle similar to mine, and girl you give us so much more than routine or repetitive. You show when you are having fun with friends, the trips with your family. I mean does People want you to go on a different adventure everytime? I love that you show the reality of your every day life! ❤

[@Rianak]

Sending you lots of love ❤️ I hope you start to feel better, and I also like other viewers here do not find your content repetitive. We love your videos

[@bethdimonti]

Hey don't take those kinds of comments personally!! If anyone doesn't love your content, they can simply leave. One thing I know is that it's impossible to meet everyone's expectations. So just be you and create what makes you happy. People who can actually relate to you are here to support you!

[@Kwizzzmaz]

You are doing awesome Julez! Like, I wouldn't change a thing with any of your content. You do what you wanna do and we will just keep supporting you no matter what. :)

[@dig2341]

I don't mind if your videos are repetitive at all! I love your daily vlogs and seeing your routine. I honestly find all your videos so relaxing. However, if you are looking to do something different, maybe a video collaborating with a friend, like doing a video where you talk about a specific topic like body image, self esteem, relationships, a Q&A... But again, I truly enjoy your videos. It's inspiring to see diverse content and just you being you is unique! I actually find your videos so authentic and think it's such a breath of fresh air compared to some other vloggers who feel the need to do big extravagant things just for content.

[@eisagouredou1336]

Hi Julia, I think your content is great and inspiring. Not repetitive at all. We'll continue watching your videos! Keep going :)

[@stephaniewilliams8169]

I love just seeing your everyday life.

[@Kareninapk.]

Normal days vlogs are the best ❤ keep ‘‘em coming !!!!

[@ShopAtSpicywedding]

Love your content and hope you continue!!

[@maryanyah]

I don't think your vlogs are repetitive, I absolutely love watching them and seeing a part of the city through your lens.

[@20SomethingDiariess]

Hey Julia, hope you're well. Stopping by to let you know that your content isn't repetitive at all. I love watching your vlogs and finding something new every time. Don't let yourself get affected and stop you from doing what you love. Lots of love and power to you ❤

[@waggermama]

Gosh, you’ve got a lot going on! Sometimes you need to make your life a bit smaller to get by, so do what you need to do ❤

[@YanderyCho]

My husband and I had been dealing with the same issue. Living in LA (K-town) is not easy with all the car noise. Everything changed when we started listening to white noice thru the night. It’s been a great change. My sleep is deeper and I feel better in the morning.

[@theonewiththeblueeyes]

Obviously please prioritise your mental health and don’t feel pressured to post if you don’t feel up for it but from someone who’s watched you for about a year now, one of the reasons I watch & enjoy your content is because of the normality of it, when you go about your life and talk about work and seeing friends. So for me, I don’t really feel like your content has become “just filming to have a vlog”. Your content always makes me feel productive and optimistic.

[@ch64321]

First of all, I LOOOVE your intro cartoon 🌿🌱

[@rowenagrace315]

,3Not repetitive for me, i love watching u vlog ur day in life working and being productive cause it motivates me . Pls stay you and just post what you love Julia

[@jenongliandra]

Nahh its actually feel comfortable to watch when someone have a repetitive schedule

[@RayanaFernandes_]

Hi, I also don’t think your content is repetitive, watching it is actually a relaxing moment. Take your time, but keep posting!

[@amberliu9168]

You are a good person, I always enjoy watching your videos

[@gabrielarosa8549]

I don't find your content repetitive at all 😅😅😅 actually I love it ❤

[@karlea]

Girl I love the repetitive content! I think viewers enjoy getting to see into the daily life - adults have routines and it is inspiring!

[@szpaqus]

some people want excitement, some people like calm and mundane things. nothing wrong with liking them but maybe we shouldn't put pressure to others to be something they are not. we come here to see day to day, spend time, not to see wild things.

[@kaskahea1274]

Cheer Up Julia, and get some rest this weekend. 🤍🤍🤍🤍 And take care of yourself. I am happy with your content! 😊😊

[@jesswright4248]

Julia!! You should try a hatch alarm clock! They're so helpful for falling asleep and staying asleep bc of the white noise. It also waks you up slowly with a sunrise which has helped me so much getting out of bed in the morning. Sending you lots of love!

[@molecule1963]

I spent a few days of my holidays on watching your content. It is very inspiring to your daily life. It does not need to be non-repetitive. We as normal person all follow similar daily routine, and therefore we would not expect the content-creator to live a life that differentiates on each day. This is not realistic. As long as the content you present is real, it is a good one!

[@jocelyndunkley1607]

Hi Julia I really enjoy your content whenever you post. Sometimes it is kind of the same vibe, but that's what I like - it's like taking 15min to see the inside of your life, which is very calming. If you're in a creative rut maybe you can ask us for video ideas and go from there. I know you also had some how-to videos mostly about NYC apartment hunting. Maybe you could do other how-tos in topics you're interested in like travel or fashion, I'm sure we'd all like to hear your perspective!

[@PilotCristina]

I love any video you put out. Do what you want to do.

[@misisadventures]

We will continue to support you!❤️

[@estrellatorres2272]

Love your channel, keep doing you 🫶🏼

[@chayuira]

Personally, I don’t find your vlogs repetitive, but even it’s the case, it totally ok! Calm repetitive vlogs give a sense of being on a quiet island without problems and not having to wake up at 5am, do yoga and eat sunlight. They show real you, and it’s great. Btw, I remember you talked about being into fashion. Maybe you could do a “spring outfit” video? I love your style and would be so happy to find inspiration in your pieces styling👉🏻👈🏻

[@Warmbreeze43]

Don’t be hard on yourself. It’s a bad day not a bad life. We all fall into that mode of not feeling life. Just remember you are worthy, you are love, great things will always come your way. Some people can be harsh, just know it’s really Not about you. It’s about them. Misery loves company. Kick that to the curb. I love China. I use to have work there. Beautiful cities. Wish I’d done more in the many times I was there

[@dannieleigh]

I enjoy your videos, no matter what. keep posting.

[@liliansmeenge3297]

I had trouble sleeping too due to noise. I use the Alpine Sleepsoft earplugs and now I sleep like a baby. I can highly recommend! Hope they sell them in the US too.

[@marienoeI]

Omg the animation intro is soooooo cuteeeeeeeee

[@julieward1761]

Well I love your vlogs, and don’t think they are repetitive! Get a Hatch sound machine. Best thing ever!

[@shivalingbiradar]

One word AWESOME

[@NaNgNg0]

Do you think some white noise will help for sleep? Like sometimes I have a fan going or my air purifier to kind of block out the noise

[@Phantomstories1831]

I love just seeing you but i felt same so instead of just doing ghost stories i vlog daily updates to inspire ppl. You can always take a break just ignore the bad comments i do

[@Candy517xx]

Try white noise or a fan at night. Game changer with the noisy NYC nights!

[@thereversepolarbear]

I Love your Videos Julia - maybe take a break and you will feel better ❤

[@upasanarath1198]

Hey dear , Take care 😘 I don't feel your content as repetitive . As a software Engineer who is working from home , I understand where this is coming from . Sometimes I wake up and try evaluating others life who keeps travelling or just chilling . But I guess somedays I feel blessed to be working . You are not decorating and just reflecting what and how exactly it should be . So don't be dissatisfied . Suggestion : you can do a month' favourite .like fav series , fav makeup, fav novel you read , fav resturant you had , fav purchase you made .

[@RyanaB23]

I live vicariously through u. In another life i would love to be in a big city with a cozy apartment and a bunch of friends. But im a mom living in the suburbs living the housewife life lol.

[@cooltrucly]

its okay for a vlogger to vlog just to vlog... you're vlogging your life. when vloggers do things SOLELY for a vlog that's when viewers can sense it becoming less genuine. what you're doing is fine... tbh don't get bogged down by the comments and just keep living your life :)

[@donnacoker7716]

If you’re fridge is still out of commission, put some fresh coffee ground in a sock and stick it in the fridge. It will absorb the odors. Also, I don’t think your content is repetitive at all. I totally enjoy your vlogs and watching your life. You feel rather as a distant friend in NYC.

[@su-jin2138]

Keep going 🌟

[@rossamara3659]

Omg!!!! Aaron my childhood crush!!!!
