First of all: so proud of you for going to therapy and getting your story published. Also, thank you for being so open on your mental health 🧡 I’ve been reading a lot of books in the evenings and I’ve picked up a new hobby (crochet) 🧶 Love your vlog including the “bragging” and other exiting shares (music, journaling, dcc)

Thank you for opening up about your mental health my love! I am so glad you're feeling better and are proud of all the progress you've made, that's a huge achievement. I get upset with myself when I get burnt out and my anxiety worsens too, it's so hard not to with the pressures of everyday life weighing down on you. It's a constant up and down battle, that's for sure! We just have to enjoy the moments of joy in between, big and small! ♥

I also have the general anxiety disorder and it tends to cause more symptoms when I'm stressed out and tired. I'm graduating in two weeks and I don't have school anymore so I've been consciously and purposely taking some relax time for myself because I know it makes so good for me. And it's been lovely because my reading has been more active again! Right now my situation is quite good and I've been going therapy for almost a year now and it has helped. It's nice to hear about you and your life and recent reads :)

Hi! I really liked this video! And I also really like to hear you talking about more than books, so no worries at all! I personally watch your videos mostly for the cosy (gezellige) whimsical vibes 😊 I also think it's really nice to hear you being excited about all the things you've been up to and it doesn't feel at all like bragging to me. I recognize the feeling of excitement when you're doing new things that you're passionate about. I started my own (low-key) business a year ago in making and selling my own knitting patterns. Every time I'm doing well or I'm trying something new, I get so excited and I want to tell everyone about it. Right now I'm venturing into giving knitting courses as well and I'm really excited. I visited you at the market in Tilburg! I think it is really cool you're doing these markets and I would love to visit again if you're close by. Anyway, I basically like everything about your videos because it's so wholesome and I would love to keep following the things you do and like to share! Liefs! ✨

Congratulations on all of your good news - being published, the new shop items (love the tarot bookmarks - would love a full pack once you have the full major arcana), and most importantly, that you are feeling great! Thank you for sharing what you have been up to (and books - always love the books :) My current read is "In the Company of Witches" by Auralee Wallace; about a family of witches running a B&B in a small town when something goes horribly wrong with a guest (this one has strong Gilmore Girl vibes too). I am enjoying it, although I would love more coziness and less sleuthing 🌘🧣🤣!

Two books I read and loved over the fall months and HIGHLY recommend are "The Unfortunate Effects of Heartbreak and Magic" by Breanne Randall (content warnings for death of a family member and attempted suicide), which managed to be cozy even while dealing with some deeper topics, and "If I Have to Be Haunted" by Miranda Sun, which was a YA novel that was way better than it had any right to be with a romance that literally had me squealing. A recent thing I've done is to start journaling in an attempt to help quiet my own anxiety when it gets to be too much. And a favorite thing is the ghost mug I bought from Flying Tiger for Halloween.
