It is so refreshing to see an influencer/woman who eats so well and has generous portions. Michelle eats healthy, whole foods but they're not extreeeemely healthy and they seem honestly very delicious and balanced. I love food and I like eating a lot as well, it's nice to see more people like that, and she inspires me to try to cook more often ;)

Eats so well? Most of what she eats comes out of a packet, a bottle, a can or a bag.

Michelle's life right now is the life I want to be in the future. Cooking whatever I feel like, chilling alone and spending the day productively doing the things I am really into.

How do you all cope with it when going through or having went through this? I'm in my 2nd year and all by myself due to a break and now I don't know anyone but everyone seem so hostile (which they probably are not) and just asking to sit next to someone let me hear my heart racing much louder than my own voice :(

I have been accepting and loving the vibe of “living alone” and not “being lonely” I love how you have opened up and really opened my eyes to being comfortable and loving my space in my house or even the space I exaist in , in life . Taking pleasure in small things , enjoying your own company but also making space to have others in your life is so vital. I love that whenever I watch you I get super motivated to cook more , enjoy the process of cleaning my palce , getting flowers , going to the market and refreshing my life a bit. Thank you for all you have done and helping so many of us just feel seen and heard and building healthy habits !

[@shizzle9364]

As a current university student, I can relate to your comment about eating alone. I don't have many friends and I'm also shy so I've eaten almost every meal alone. At first it was terrifying and it feels like everyone is judging you for being by yourself. That anxiety slowing starts to go away and now I live for the times I eat alone. On my own time and at my own pace. Glad I'm not the only one

[@Dreamlandist]

I actually feel so relatable to you, michelle. I used to dislike eating alone or will even pity myself for not being able to fit in / socialise with my colleagues. but now, I actually feel the most comfortable eating alone while watching my kdramas.

[@vidushi_2807]

The fact that you were alone in college is so relatable. I am in my final semester yet I feel disconnected from everyone one.But watching you talk about it makes me feel it'll be alright one day. ❤️

@Michelle Choi It's good to see more Koreans having success on KZbin, a platform that I absolutely love. I can see that you have 1.41M subscribers. Congrats on the great work as well as thank you for sharing your life with us. I really like the simplicity of things such as 'what I eat in a day' as well as seeing you cook things that have a relatable story such as the rice burger. I have made tuna salad and ate it with rice. The combo of Tuna, Mayo, Rice, and sprinkles of geem ( I know I know. My spelling is different form the way Korean words are normally spelled and translated into English) are yum! In the last 24 hours, I have watched about 5 of your vlogs and subscribed to your channel. Btw, the mandu on this episode has got me craving! Looks so damn good. Keep up the great work!

[@larkspurmoon]

Being a loner in college, I experienced this for the first time recently. I always had friends in school, and even some in the 1st year of college (in 1st year we have all departments together), but then covid happened and now finally when its offline all my friends who were all of the different depts just spread apart. There were days I felt like crying or just not eating during lunch, but now I'm habituated and wouldn't mind doing so. It was really scary in the beginning, but I guess you just have to go with it, and you would soon start enjoying being alone and also it's a plus, not being dependent on anybody.
