Life Update: Why I left YouTube, House, Family, Career Plans. It's been a time.

[@Caroline_Winkler]

you're wonderful

[@vicki9298]

I was told by my mom...if you want a good friendship you have to go find someone and be a good friend to them. Served me well over my 67 years. It keeps me out of my own head and looking to be good to someone else

[@shola7987]

This is wise

[@gondebrabander8709]

So true ❤

[@LaniJa2611]

I have followed you since the beginning and I saw where you got the most joy was when you would build something from scratch. I love your shorts and videos so whatever you choose I will be watching!

[@michelleallen2339]

Dalia do whatever brings you the most peace and happiness. Believe it or not it seems that you have a lot of followers that love you and we are here to support you no matter what you choose to do. If someone doesn’t like what you create they don’t have to watch. Keep working on your self care and be patient and kind to yourself. Many blessing’s

[@slohivid]

You’ve been through ALOT. Now that you’ve explained yourself, there’s no longer a need for you to justify yourself to strangers any longer. You do you and those who are keen to follow along with you will. All the best!!! ❤❤❤

[@erinf4712]

First- you owe no one anything in the way of explanation. Viewers on the internet quite often feel they have the right to opine on what you are doing and act as if they are bankrolling your channel when for the most part, your content is free to them. Regardless of who you are, the past year around the world has been a lot for everyone in one way or another. Kudos to you for stepping back, for trying new things not in your comfort zone, honoring yourself, and for putting one foot in front of the other every day. You do you and whatever works for you in this season of life.

[@sharons8690]

don’t care how you post it, i’ll watch everything you do. you’re a very talented woman and you should be proud of yourself. we are all here for you. looking forward to your next video. and i LOVED the bathroom series

[@sabrinaprince205]

I’m so glad you’re back Dalia! You have no idea how much you have inspired me over the years, thank you so much 😊❤

[@lotsart1285]

You're so smart. I admire your capability to selfreflect the way you do. I can relate with you and your add brain so much. I wish you all the best.

[@notasfancyasmyname1286]

Do what makes you happy! We enjoy watching your content, please continue being your authentic self!

[@KarenSagun]

Good to see you Dalia! Wishing you a good new year! 💕

[@Angibbabee]

It’s hard making friends and maintaining friendships as an adult. You are not alone in that. Hopefully that’s a bit of comfort. Also, try workout classes (the endorphins are REALLY game changing) or other group activities. Learning a new language with adult learners… that kind of thing.

[@JSSCA-lk7hl]

We all struggle and have good days and bad days. I think it’s a fantastic idea to sign up for classes and step out of your comfort zone and stay busy! I’ll watch your short form videos 🙂👍

[@YadiMcVey]

Make videos that are true to you and you will find your tribe! You are beautiful. I can relate to the lack of connections. You are really brave to admit that. I think you are doing the right thing by pursuing your interests and you will meet people organically. I feel like I am a boring person… i have interests but day to day, my life is boring and I’m ok with that but I have lost relationships over the years. Take the time you need and do the things you love❤ ps. Also have ADHD and I don’t think I could be a content creator because it’s HARD but you do a great job 😊 editing would stress me out lol Just try what you love! Give it time! Again, your people will find you. Don’t do what doesn’t feel right for you❤ ok I’m done! I look forward to watching you express your creativity in any form

[@scsweetie09]

Funny thing, you crossed my mind last week because I want to add molding to my house! Sending you all the good vibes and would love organic content in whatever form that would be. ❤

[@amyg.8592]

Wishing you inspiration and solutions and a better year. I love your content, but the most important thing is that you do what you need!

[@Be_Positive-_-bloodType]

Dear Dalia😊 it's such a joy seeing a new video out and you look beautiful as always💖 I still loove the painting above the bed😊 ..

[@courtneyG89]

Haven’t watched it fully but have to cut in and say I love you, sending prayers and hugs and love your way❤️🙏🏻❤️🫶🏻 Edited: Um, you could totally do music. I genuinely loved what you did on your bathroom renovation video, where you had very healing deep tonal music playing over what you were doing. You’re a storyteller, and I full heartedly believe you could do something with that! The poetic story you told about not feeling like you could achieve things due to what people have told you in the past mixed into the layered vocals was absolutely BEAUTIFUL . PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not ever let someone online or face to face try to make you feel less than bc you tried (and I believe succeeded) something new bc not only did it bring joy to your soul, it shook our souls as well❤️. Take those music classes! 2025 is going to be your year of self discovery and if you care to share any of it with us, it would be a treat for us as well but at your own pace and with your own boundaries🙏🏻 God bless you babe!🫶🏻✌🏻

[@georgettescolaro785]

So good to see your beautiful face. All your videos have so inspired me especially the kitchen! Everything you DIY is something that makes me believe I can do it you. Your creativity is incredible and how you Bring your vision to life.

[@laurahernandezramirez8770]

So glad to see you back on KZbin and on your own terms… I always enjoy your videos… God bless😊

[@d.falash3470]

Sometimes when you turn your creativity into a job- it suck’s the fun out of it- as an artist I speak from experience! But your creativity will always be in you- it’s who you are- and if you decide to make more videos I will watch them and enjoy them! Take care of yourself- go get some endorphins from a gym! Hugs!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

I have been watching you for a long time. Thank you for sharing this update. We will be here, supporting you in whatever form you choose to create content for.

[@anniegery2488]

I'm glad to see you again in whatever form suits you best. Looking forward for your content. Take care.

[@b.l.wilson9724]

I’m 53 and I can relate to several things you’ve mentioned. It’s upsetting to me that I can’t share life with a best friend and go on girls trips, or go shopping or sob on the shoulder of…I have my dog and that’s it. If she goes away I’m truly going to be lost for a while. Thank you for sharing. This message was relatable ❤🙏🏾

[@lindamarlow4663]

Thank you for posting. You do what makes you feel the most creative and we will watch your videos.

[@irma720]

I also have never been able to have a deep connection to anyone, male or.female.. I'm almost 60 and recently diagnosed with ADHD. I'm told it's related. It was very nice to see you again. I look forward to seeing your future endeavors. ❤

[@uziaoki3532]

I can 110% relate to what you're feeling. I went through it right at the start of 2020 so I wanted to say you're not alone and it's perfectly okay not to be okay, ADHD and all. Take all the space and time you need and do whatever you want and feel to do. Others are not a priority right now. Wishing you all the peace, love and the very best. God bless you Dalia!

[@pamelarodriguez9349]

I’ve been following you for a while now. You’ve got this! Content will flow eventually. Time is something special. Give it some more time. I’ll be praying for you.

[@MadAboutBrows]

I've only seen a few of your vids, so this may not mean much from me -- but I'm proud of you for taking your bandwidth into such heavy consideration. I also get the disconnected thing...but I'm solo on the road (just me & my cat), so it's a very different experience. I have found, though, that when im feeling "disconnected" it's because I'm disconnected from an important part of myself. It's usually creativity and movement, which are the first things depression steals from me when it visits. You're loved.

[@NM-ql7ey]

It was so good to see you. You are so talented. Don't give up. I've watched you from the beginning. So many creators struggle with comments. People are just plain mean these days. One person I follow does not read the comments to protect her soul. It might be something to consider. Also look into hiring an editor and/or a manager. I've seen creators burst out after hiring one. I know money is an issue but there are probably different scales. We are here for you and can't wait to see your shorts!

[@melissapoole8580]

Glad to see you! God will provide your perfect house/land, in His time. Keep praying and stay true to you!!! You are beautiful just as you are.

[@ajames2832]

Thanks for the update. I love your bathroom ❤

[@cryztvl]

It’s so good to see your face! And I hope to see your face more. You’re good enough. ❤

[@candiceduncan6394]

I just want to thank you for sharing. I’m going through similar situation. I lost my brother and in the process I feel like I’m grieving myself as well. I’m hunting for hobbies and referred to psychologist. I really enjoy creating (art and food mostly). I think I’m going to dive more into that.

[@ooopsiedaisy]

Sending lots of creative vibes your way!

[@MZfavorz]

Thank you for sharing! I always like all your videos; sweet, simple and easy to make things yourself. See you next video! 😍

[@janewong6952]

Thank you for sharing. I resonated with this so much

[@shola7987]

Nice seeing you ❤️

[@janeebecker7570]

Thank you for the video. Follow your passions.

[@Missy-Missy1111]

Thank you for sharing. You are very talented. Take care❤

[@monicalong5697]

After listening I can’t help but think of the song by Brandon Lake - Hard Fought Hallelujah ❤. Looking forward to your future content.

[@putocuchinta]

Hi Dalia! I’ve been a longtime subscriber but admittedly I haven’t watched your videos in a while. This video brought me back to your channel though and I watched your video about being Muslim right after. I recently reverted to Islam (did my shahada in Aug 2024) and wanted to say thank you for sharing your story with us. I 100% resonate with what you had said, even though I was raised catholic. From one sis to another, you are so appreciated! Keep finding your light and your community. JazakAllah khairan.

[@Be_Positive-_-bloodType]

As a sister on the Spectrum I relate to most feelings on this video Dalia🍀

[@Cheye-one]

Maybe you could do a project and break it into parts, part1,part 2 or do just small diys . You are very talented and I would love to continue to see your work.

[@cathylavorante6871]

When you post, I will watch💖

[@Be_Positive-_-bloodType]

May Allah grant your sister and mine Aljannah.

[@AdriWiid]

⚘♡ Post whenever and whatever you feel like it. No pressure from us. Your happiness and creative freedom comes first.

[@gracerodriguez6869]

Thanks for sharing.. do what is best for you…😊

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Your life, your home, your content. I don't judge. I've missed you. I'm sorry you're going through stuff. I do understand, I've been there too. Take care of you Dalia. Be well. By the way, you look beautiful ❤️ Your California friend. (Thank you for the help Canada 🇨🇦 has given us)

[@rachelmurphy6619]

The wisest person I know told me to be my authentic self each day, nothing more, nothing less. I start my day with this mantra, and thank the universe for another day, every night.

[@Marquharson]

Sending hugs ❤

[@thaiskaren2446]

I know people can go wrong about it and be mean and rude, but I wanted to know where were you because I like you and your content, and I felt a connection to you as a person, so I appreciate you coming here and explaining things even though you don’t have to! I hope you can succeed in whatever you choose to do, even if is not here on KZbin. ❤

[@moniku4866]

Moved to Canada 7 years ago and I've always felt this. Never truly connected, never felt the depth I'm looking for, always feel as the outsider, the different one, the ones who accepts but is never accepted. . It's always surface level. I'm too exploring ways to eventually find those people. One or two even. I am good at corporate but it killed me. I felt that. I'm still in it though lol.

[@sariankor4584]

I like your plan to experiment by spending some time on short form content. Could be something to at just needs a bit of sitting with or wearing in :)

[@VRodz-11]

You don't owe anyone and explanation regarding anything. Your personal life is exactly that...personal. Being a content creator does not give views the entitlement to have that kind of access to you. That type of access is a privilege that is earned. Be true to who you are and those who appreciate your creativity will continue to be here for it. ❤

[@Dee-cg2fx]

Your story is not the first time I’ve heard this. I think most don’t realize how hard KZbin is creativity wise.

[@HeidiOrtiz-l9y]

God bless u and youre family

[@LenaMMcKee]

Hi. We have five acres in central ca unsure if you would be willing in this area. still somewhat affordable . Northern Cali has a ton of vacant land as well with creeks, mountains etc.

[@MissQuite]

❤❤❤

[@deserveit1436]

*You are looking gorgeous, very cute, love you.* ❤

[@LenaMMcKee]

Hi. We have five acres in central ca unsure if you would be willing in this area. still somewhat affordable . Northern Cali has a ton of vacant land as well with creeks, mountains etc. Was just in Toronto and wow sooo many condos! Ai think ai hear a Canadian accent so Cali is probably off your radar

[@JannHumphrey]

Thank you for the video.

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

I have watched everything you have put out…you are talented, gifted…I say make videos and we will watch them. Short, long, super edited, not super edited… You have come so far too give it all up, but if it doesn’t bring you joy, find something that does. Thanks for checking in with us. You know we miss you! ☺️

[@yassmeen91]

The internet is actually moving away from short form and is leaning more towards long form like the old times .... So if u r more comfortable with long form even if u make less videos I think go for that even if it's less edited videos that's documentary style ... People are now gravitating more towards raw content that's less polished less edited etc

[@told1158]

😊

[@aprilyorke1406]

You also buy land with a house on it and tear it down.

[@kickinitwithdavidsosha]

First comment ❤

[@NenaNenaNenaNenaNena]

Basically she’s going to make TikTok’s. That’s the video.

[@user-nlvmruu]

just upload videos with basic editing

[@patriciadejesus4051]

I completely understand what you are going through. Since the pandemic started, my life was turned upside down. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. One of my sisters got bedridden because of MS. My dad passed away almost a year ago. My sister with MS moved in with me. These past year and a half have been extremely difficult and challenging, so I hear you. You are strong, hang in there. The best thing there is, is a day after another. We'll make it through, believe. ❤‍🩹

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

I'm not even 30 seconds in but honestly it's no one's business where you've been, what you've been doing or what's going on in your personal life. This is why it's called YOUR personal life 🫶🏼

[@janewong6952]
