i think what’s great about michelle’s content is she knows what life is all about not just having fun ang living her life but being observant about all the things in her surroundings that it might look fun but behind the scene everyday is a challenge you need to conquer to survive for the next day.

[@feliciaiskandar]

Totally agree with you. Not all the fun, but also show us the stuggle. I love her being this real. ❤

[@KwizeraJeanine]

❤❤

[@MichelleMuck555]

Any successful female that has chosen a lucrative profession definitely earns my approval. But no, Michelle is a 100% relatable and authentic. 🫶🏻

[@KwizeraJeanine]

🙏💃💯💯

[@nwhr]

She earns a lot as she works hard, she doesnt have to show everything online. I love her for that❤️

[@craymiev]

I relate a lot with Michelle when she talks about how scary it is to grow up and just taking in the realization that her parents are getting old, and my parents are getting old. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one feeling this way. And I wish her the best in fulfilling her goal to make her parents not work anymore because that's my goal next year too. For my parents. Thank you Michelle for being true to us ever since then.

[@binesait]

I feel the same too.

[@MichelleMuck555]

She will achieve this.

[@KwizeraJeanine]

🙏

[@ianjerome8243]

this felt like a warm hug 🥲 thanks for growing with us michelle 🤍

[@586bomin]

It is a privilege to be a part of your life, your changes and struggles and you've been nothing but inspirational. You're as genuine as they come and I'm very proud to be part of your community of subscribers since the beginning ❤

[@TammyRoush5]

please don’t stop making videos. It’s so nice watching someone who is so fun and down to earth. they way you don’t talk badly about anyone or anything is so refreshing. I appreciate the way you treat everyone around you, especially the way you love your parents. Thank you for opening up and sharing your world with us. Your enthusiasm for life, love and success lets me know I still have a chance at all those things. All the well wishes in the world!

[@jamiejchong4568]

Im in my 40s but I heal and I learn from you. You are such a sweetie from the very beginning sharing your vulnerabilities from which I was able to process from my past that couldn’t process. 말이 길어졌지만 I root for you as I have been the past few years and I will be always be. First time leaving something here : ) But I always pressed like 😊

[@mandy_mosia]

As a person who suffers from social anxiety, your videos are wholesome and so authentic and because of that they give me comfort. Sending you my love all the way from South Africa ♥️🇿🇦

[@poppycalliope]

Growing up is scary but it is also a blessing. Seeing your loved ones get older too doesn't feel nice, our parents, grandparents, even our pets that we made part of our families when we were kids or teens. Some of us might have already lost loved ones. I feel like most of us live similar lives and go through similar situations. At the end of the day I always try to think that life is meant to be lived in a way that makes each one feel good. I'm happy to be part of your community Michelle and always remember that you're not alone when it comes to your worries and anyone reading this comment, you're not alone either ❤

[@sarahismiles6]

I think I resonate with Michelle a lot because she is very in touch with her feelings. She really feels the emotions and I’m the same way. I love her videos, I’ve said it many times but I feel like she lives the life I once wanted for myself. We live totally different lives, of coarse but in a multiverse I see myself living life like she does. Now, back to my real world, I totally get what she said about her parents growing old. My mom and dad are growing old as well, they look older and look tired and I think this is a trigger to so many feelings to some of us. I totally get what she means and I know a lot of her viewers get it too. It’s scary to watch your parent grow old. I wish many many years and health to Michelle’s parents and hopefully she finds a way to ease their finances in a way. Loved this video and loved the ‘TED Talk’ haha

[@leahsfieldnotes]

This has to be one of my favvv vloggies of yours! Thanks for speaking from the heart ❤ I needed that :’)

[@bianczantos]

only few adults are worried about their parents getting old, and i am glad that I follow a humble content creator like you who’s always sensitive about her surroundings and not only thinking about one’s self. You deserve all the great things you have and I wish you more success in every thing that you do. 🥰💖

[@jenny_jenny931]

was having a bad week but seeing you upload is really comforting,it feels like home...thank you and take care of yourself Michelle🤍☁

[@michellechoii]

hope you feel better🥲💗

Que vs soyez la benediction de Dieu.❤❤

[@robertking1367]

Hi Michelle, I'm one of those people that have been around since the beginning. I looked after my parents all my life, even when I was going to school. It is nice when you reach that point when you are an adult, and suddenly you can talk to your parents more freely. They have had the wonderful experience of seeing you make a life of your own and thriving in it. You made them proud by going to school and graduating and living on your own, They were able to share in your dreams of being on YT and your other platforms and seeing you give birth to your own company and being a part of its growth. I'm a hopeless romantic and write and do art that is all about love. It is nice for me to see you in a relationship with a very loving and respectful man. The script could be written for a KDrama. Hee, Hee!! I silently have rooted for you as well, through all these years. Love is many things. I love you for bringing me happiness and for seeing you have a good life. It is special when dreams come true, and you have shown that. Take Care and Keep Well.

[@alinlilgirl3656]

Thanks for being this amazing and such a comfort person to so many of us 🥺🤍

Grrrrrl! I love your transparency! Clips of Dobby, Blurry Salsa Man trying to film for you, the himming sesh and it being out of pocket....relatable and we appreciate it! 🫶🏽

[@itsqueberzuela]

Aww, that's so nice that you always include your parents in every step of your way . Thank you for this video and it made me realized that in my era of adulting, being scared is a natural state, I thought I was weird for having these emotions but it seems like it was only just a phase of turning my fears into strength. Ily Michelle! A viewer here from the PH.

[@laibafatima9160]

thank you so much for all of the moments you have shared. all of them are a reminder of inspiration for me. thank you for being so kind and warm hearted. you motivate me for becoming a better me.

[@safridaan]

obviously you’re video gave me strengths, thank you❤️

[@ferielgharbi8515]

we love a caring Queen watching over her parents and genuinely thinking of them, having those thoughts from you made me feel less lonely and less scared to have my own too about future!

[@user-we1bw7bm3x]

The part you talked about getting older is scary… and more understand mommy’s nagging, that touched me a lot. Hopefully we all figure out a way to grow up happily. ❤

[@vanparijsbersekovaflorence5625]

Michelle !❤ PLEASE SHARE ALL YOUR RECIPES 😍 everything looks so good everytime I see you cooking

[@jaydenlangeveldt6352]

They way my heart gets happy when you upload. Honestly it feels like you're a friend to us. Thank you for that ❤

[@Pema.yangg07]

Started my day watching your vlog and as always I'm feeling very recharged. Thank you alot michelle. Take care💖💞

[@izwong1043]

The reason i love watching your vlogs for a very long long time is because you are just so pure, genuine and transparent with your vibes, personality, character. Although I don’t know you personally but i have gained so much learning from you. Michelle we are here with you whether its down or up. ❤

[@YJ__JJang]

우리 모두 화이팅!!!❤

[@MaryJoy0414]

Thank you for this video Michelle. I appreciate your authenticity and transparency to all your viewers. You're such a sweet, humble, kind and sensitive soul. I hope you all the best in your journey and may you find more joys in the next days to come. God bless you.

[@xinyueliang7170]

I can totally relate to what she said about her and her mom. It tears me up since as I grow older, I can sense that my parents are also getting older. It scares me whenever I think of this kind of stuff. Yet, I feel like one good thing about growing up is that we have more abilities to take care of them mentally and physically. That's also precisely why I decided to go back to China to pursue a Ph.D. To be closer to them, and spend more time with them, is my priority now.

[@lisamagdaleno7078]

I cant wait to see what the year ahead brings you !!!! you are such a ray of sunshine ! keep shining !!

[@user-vf5bz5cc5q]

Such a baby😍 watching you is healing me, pls continue to be a part of my life, love ya!

[@fabGayle]

You’re really very inspiring, Michelle! 🤩 You keep me company while living alone, too. And your vibe is just so calm.

[@27.sukmawatysiahaan9]

watching your vlogs feels like hanging out with you, have good weekend michelle

[@jennifermariedeguzman961]

I'm at a loss for words; you truly have a magical way of making us feel warm and cozy inside.😌

[@yurinakomekome78]

I wanna say thank you Michelle. You are really amazing person and always makes me feel better. hope you and your families are doing well 🩵

[@jendeukish]

Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for this - I indeed also grew up with you and I resonate with you on how you understand your Mom now more ❤️ I’m also the same with my Mom and how I realized as well that they are getting older and want to take care or look after them more. Thank you for opening this one up 🥺😍 You’re really my only influencer online!!!! 🫶🏻

[@vaniavirginia4145]

I'm always get inspired by your videos, even I watched the old videos. All of them feels so related and natural, love you sm!

[@jasbernales]

Been following your channel since I first watched your glass / korean skincare video. It’s such a privilege to watch you grow through your different seasons! ✨

[@krithikaaaa7073]

i really feel that ur videos r my therapy session....So soothing....❤❤

[@razinamarjan1110]

I say this every week, and I lll continue to say this, your videos... Genuinely are soo healing, relaxing and is a perfect way to start my Saturday, so I feel motivated to be productive... I used to be a very introverted, unsocial girl who never took opportunities, but when I reflect on myself a year ago, I feel that ive come a long way... And I'm learning to be more grateful for every rejection and opportunity that comes my way... Stay blessed big sis 🥰🥰 and a huge thank you 💛💛

[@vanessacoplan7573]

Love your candidness and realness 💜 thank you for sharing- always! I hope you continue to make videos - I look forward to them every new post!

[@Zeeiconoclastic]

I love watching your videos so much. Thanks for sharing your journey with us❤❤❤

[@user-je3fr9ey8d]

I loved watching your videos during quarantine, this is wen i first discovered your videos, I used to stay alone in my dorm room and get ready for exams to kind of rewind I used to watch yopur videos, this is how it started since then for more than three years every week i wait for your videos. I love that you think of your parents and care for them so much in that I find motivation as well. You are truly inspirational Michele

[@_boratannies]

i have been feeling well and your vlogs have brought me a much needed boost of happiness. thank you for all that you do. hope you are doing well. thanks again! ❤

[@trinaoralde9410]

I always love how despite of your success and independence you still put your parents first! That's why I love you~

[@bjorgit_]

Thank you for being so honest and true to yourself. The internet can be a very scary place as you said, but you make it look less intimating and I think that’s due also to the amazing community you’ve build around your channel ! Thank you ! You’ve inspired me so much to make my own channel 🥰

[@sarakelec9165]

I started college and started working and trying to fit all in one is so hard sometimes idk where my head is and than it comes a moment where i sit watch your video from the beggining to the end and believe me a rock just comes off my chest just because of you.Thank u❤️

[@elizawilson199]

Michelle, I really like your videos. I was in college when I started watching your videos and now I am working as a scientist in a different country. Your living alone diaries vlog really got me through the hard and uncertain times of living in a different country. When I wake up in the morning, I cannot stand any KZbinr's voice because I want calm and peaceful mornings. Your vlogs are the only videos that I watch in the morning. Always stay healthy and happy. Sending you lots of lovee and hugsss.

[@tuftofflowers]

Thank you for such a cozy vlog❤️ Stay warm

[@victoriabajura7916]

Michelle, your video catches me literally on the same stage as you are, thinking about my mom and how I became more like her, and I can relate to what she was saying before. It is so scary becoming older and the huge responsibility on the shoulders that we have. I was thinking that I am getting super emotional and should do something with that, but you made me realise that I am not alone, so thank you for being so transparent with us❤

[@NFX]

I'm watching your content for the past 3 years and now that I have moved out of my mother's house I can relate to you even more. Especially being afraid of growing up (and I'm 28 ...). Seeing my mom turn 60 recently, really makes me scarred and made me realize that time is running so unbelievably fast ... Watching your videos is always like a pleasant reminder to enjoy things in life which is why I purchased your necklace - thank you💗

[@colaii5845]

Your videos makes me motivated especially when I’m also figuring myself out!! I’m learning bc of you too🥹

[@simplyellenxo95]

Love the music you play on your channel.❤

[@jyotidas1550]

Your videos always calm me down whenever I get anxious, thank you so much michelle

[@onlyhopeful8592]

Can't wait for winter to start so I can cozy up to your videos even more. ❤

[@bridgettestruis4082]

so much love all the way from South Africa, your videos have given me alot of comfort and although I only started watching for the past year, I have binged watched all the other vidoes. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS MICHELLE ✨✨

[@SC-ss8vb]

I feel you. Every time I realize my parents (and my grandma) are getting older, I can't help crying (even when I am walking on the streets). It's scary to think what will happen in the future. But knowing we are going through the same thing makes me feel less lonely. So thank you for the TED talk!

[@Nona-vp7mw]

I watched this while I was sick, and it filled me with happiness :) Thanks Michelle and KZbin!

[@okala8]

your content relaxes me so much. love you michelle🩶
