agreed! 😚🍜

Agree! And she is Korean! It’s cultural!

[@douniat9118]

Yes I agree I feel like if it’s your way of eating just do it!

[@woojinpark8539]

@@CindyPOfficial No. It's not Korean culture! It's just some younger people do on mukbang to make it sound interesting but It's actually considered rude in Korean table manner. When you slurp the noodles with broth it may splash the broth all over the place. But you do your style. Just please don't think that it's our culture...

I stopped watching Michelle’s vlogs for a couple of months because I have been feeling really down. I was afraid to watch what’s going on in her life because it seems so beautiful as her life is progressing. I am not saying that I am not happy for her but it’s just that it’s really hard to see everybody else’s happy while you are stepping at the same place. Then today I decided to watch her vlog again. I am so so happy that I did. I was reminded that not what I am going through right now won’t define my whole life. Michelle’s honesty and her openness makes me feel secured and accepted. The last minute of the vlog really touches my heart because she really reflects how I feel about myself so well. Thank you so much Michelle for always being you and inspiring us. Love you always 🥰

[@kellnicorn]

I can totally relate with your comment! I didn’t feel that way about Michelle’s content, but I had to stop watching “study vlogs” because I started feeling bad about myself as a student. I’m happy for you that you’re at a better place now. Sending love🤍

[@gbk2339]

Same same...I was feeling really down lately, not exactly sure how to get over it and no one in particular to share ..Today I came across Michelle's video at the right time. Feel like Im going through some of it together with Michelle and her viewers🥹 Thanks all and wish the best for all of u💓

[@reviqqo3699]

that's totally okay & i can relate! most vlogs i watch and feel as if something in my own life is missing since theirs seems so great. But most of the times it's never that case & i know everyone's got their own struggles, so how you feel is completely valid

[@sometimeslilith]

i did the same but it was when one of my favorite youtuber was going through some hard things, only because it took me years to finally be somewhat stable on my feet and though i feel like i left a friend, i needed to remind myself that i choose the contents that i absorb, and that is still a form of self love.

[@anuugoo]

Totally relate to this comment 😅 there's just those channels you know hhe

[@yekyongkim]

Hi Michelle, I've been watching you for years now and you've always been my peace zone during my tough times. Your editing has got very delicate and describes your mood more directly. I can especially feel that around the scenes with blurry salsa man. It's good to see how your life transforms and thank you for sharing your thoughts simultaneously. I am nowhere close to somebody who can encourage you when I'm struggling myself, but in my mind, a lot of wishes for you!

[@risika]

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

[@eggdocumentary]

may i ask what podcast you were listening to?

Whenever I'm feeling self-doubt, I think about my lowest points in life. Remember how far you've come! You have and will continue to bounce back. We love you Michelle 💜

[@DaestrumManitz]

Her transparency in reflecting on her dark days and sharing her personal experiences with this issue are one of her most enduring qualities! \🕶/

[@roryroopa]

@@DaestrumManitz Agreed. She keeps it real 💯

[@samiazmn6007]

Hi Michelle!! You are the reason I have stopped skipping meals and started cooking myself and having regular meals. You inspire girls like us who barely eat regularly. Thank you.

[@beige4513]

I love how she literally showed us her post breakdown looks it’s so courageous of her i mean i could not even face my own family let alone showing it on youtube totally an inspiration 🥺

[@khalilahd.]

Your vlogs are always a peaceful escape from my busy day. I love seeing how you spend your summer focusing on self growth and mental health all while enjoying the good weather 💛 definitely inspires me to slow down and smell the roses too

[@JK-rk9pl]

There are days when I feel so ungrateful and miserable with everything I have, whilst being on the "comfortable" side of the chart. Its your videos that instantly make me realise the beauty and therapeutic moments of life and drive me to be motivated and appreciative of everyone, everything and everywhere that surrounds me. All for that I say, Thank You Michelle. ;)

[@beinglatanyarenee7334]

I'm a firm believer out of every gloomy situation something amazing happens. Take time for you. Remember...This too shall pass. Allow yourself to have those moments. We're not robots we have emotions. We all just have to try and push through those dark times. Wishing you better days ahead! 🥰❤️ Love the Vlog!

[@sheishane]

I've been living alone away from my family, and your vlogs have been comforting and cheering me on. Thank you very much. Keep inspiring people, Michelle.❤️🥰

[@Brysteezy]

Hi Michelle! I also feel the same way sometimes with being (mentally) exhausted and I feel like there isn't a clear solution. I just want to give you some encouragement and that last message in your video is really comforting. I needed to hear that. Love your Living Alone Diaries content SO much!

[@jinhayoon2459]

thank you for being so raw. things will get better and we’ll get through the chaos together 🫶 always looking forward to your vlogs you’ve inspired me to try out new hobbies !!

[@ninanegedu]

“Things will get better”. Thank you Michelle for this beautiful vlog ❤️

[@simonesmall343]

I love this so much. We all need that reminder! It will get better. Your videos are so authentic to who you are and it’s appreciated.

[@rengreen5427]

I’ve also haven’t been feeling myself lately and feeling very unmotivated so it’s nice to know I’m not the only out there struggling, thank you for always being so open about these things, I hope things get better and that you find that motivation again 🥰♥️

[@wallflowersighswf]

I needed it, currently I am going thru a phase which is horrendous to even imagine. I pray that things get better with me and you and everyone out there going through hard times.

[@misakikawachi2422]

I’ve been feeling like I’ve been in a bit of a slump too. Sending you love and hope you feel better. Thank you for taking the time to continue to share with us. 💖

[@SumOne635]

Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. It is moments like these that I find acupuncture, massage, reiki, or any other kind of self-care to be super helpful in moving stuck energy. I hope your days get better and better. You are doing such an amazing job!

[@jenn5663]

I had such relatable days too! Mental broke down hit me so hard, not knowing how to recover got me worse but time passes and it made me feel better and get back on my road. You are not alone, we are getting through this together mich !! Sending loves❤️

[@NavyaKhetarpal]

this video comes at such a good time, I just took a couple days off to completely rest while healing from a sickness and felt so guilty for not working but you’re right Meesh sometimes we’ve just got to take care of ourselves & everything else can wait

[@YennySeo]

seeing you try new things like salsa and pottery inspires me to get out of my comfort zone as well so thank you michelle 🌹

[@soniageorge]

Thank you for always sharing your vulnerable side with us. Been in a rut myself for so many years and when I watch your videos, it makes me feel like I have to work on myself. Sending you all the love Michelle. Stay happy! ♥️ Oh and please slurp away 😋♥️♥️

[@zoeberrier821]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been having a more difficult time lately with my mental health when the pms kicks in as well, idk if it's just the added stress of where the world is at now or what, but it's always good to see you're not alone. Go easy on yourselves everyone 💗

[@ohwtfitsyou]

Michelle thank you for that ending message, I really needed that today. I think I look at your life and see that everything is “perfect” and that if I had a life like yours and looked like you i would be so happy but obviously that’s wrong of me, and the real emotions you put into your content really grounds people like me. Happiness is always a journey and I’m happy you’re sharing yours with us.

[@user-lq6ir2nh2n]

Michelle! I've been watching you more than 1,5 year. You're always on the point and now I moved to another country and started feeling more or less better. But now it feels like I get back to the previous state. Your words at the end of the video do cheer me up. Thank you for sharing your feelings.

[@alexanderd.flores5042]

Feels like a natural conversation with a friend! Thank you Michelle 🫶🏼

[@lydia4230]

Aww Meesh, it's okay. You take one day at a time and just remember that in the end, life will just find its way to solve things :) Sending you hugs!

[@NavyaKhetarpal]

i’m in such a good mood this morning here in Sydney, Australia and just got your notification and i’m smiling so hard! hope you’re feeling happy today, Michelle 💜

[@ru-28]

just those seconds with yuyan made me so happy, you two are such a big comfort to me and seeing you laughing was my mood boost, like your cold shower was! there will always be bad days, but we always overcome that and i'm proud of you, to see you happier and working on yourself overall. i wish you nothing but the best michelle & always remember to take it easy

[@hihaileebyee]

I’ve been subscribed and followed your acc for several years! Honestly I just rewatched all of your old videos and that’s so nostalgic🥹 seeing you become more and more confident and a “kind but not soft”person, and more outgoing and genuine with us. Michelle you are the type of girl that everyone wants to be friends with, it must be so comfortable just sitting and have a little chit chat with you~

[@mw5425]

Thanks for sharing your life with us, the good and the bad. Your videos bring me comfort through this lonely time in my life where I too feel like I'm "going backwards" instead of progressing. The only way out is through. ❤

[@judithbutler9695]

Thank you for not slurping. I just love how you changed up the furniture. It looks awesome and such a great idea. I’ve been down too but thinking this heat and humidity night be draining me. Lots of sleep too. Need to be ok with that and do what your body asks for. Great to see you. 🌸🙋‍♀️

[@ceylanaydinli9415]

Hi michelle, u inspired me a lot. I get motivated watching your vlogs. I have been going though a difficult time by myself for the last 1 month.

[@niyart]

hi michelle! i love how explorative and creative your editing's and filming has been! watching trying new styles really makes me motivated to try out new things and get out of my comfort zone a bit. i want to be a film maker and i want to try out new editing and film making but it's so iffy for me and i never really "trust the process", so it somewhat gives me a creative block. so i'd like to thank you for this

[@gracecanlas]

Just wanted to send you my encouragement, Michelle. Being in a funk sucks, and it’s totally ok to take things slow and prioritize yourself. Take extra care of yourself 💛

[@hntrtr]

love u sm. u always help me get through some tough stuff, Michelle, thank you for that

[@Julie.S11]

Love your vids and really enjoy some dobi and friend! So many of us struggle with mental health .. what I like about your vids is often you seem to have this “ perfect life” great city, young, pretty , you aren’t hard up … so often that is the only part that is portrayed on peoples channels .. I like that you are honest about your struggles .. it shows that everyone and anyone can have them .. keep working on urself .. that’s gonna always help … and be kind to yourself x some days are good and some not so much and that’s okay too! Keep up the great vids xo
