Channels like yours have really helped me to believe that a slow, gentle, and fulfilling life is perfectly ok to lead - even if so much of the world is so fast paced and overwhelming. Thank you for helping me to feel a little more happy with being me, and doing the things I enjoy, things that are good for MY mental health. You are so special xx

[@victoriapinot5799]

It is completely understandable and okay to feel and think the way you are about where your life is heading, but just know that if you follow your gut instinct you will be okay. It doesn’t matter what society or even your sometimes intrusive thoughts say about where you should be or what you should do. You are not alone- as an introvert, young women, young professionals, etc. I am 35 and I had to go back to leave with my mom even though I have a professional job, etc. but still things are just crazy expensive (and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the US). You do what you gotta do. I guess, with this rambling I am trying to say that- it is ok to get out of your comfort zone for growth, etc., but is also ok to advocate for your well-being. You are hard working and talented, and without a doubt will be exposed to growth and out-of-comfort zone moments. Just take it slow in other aspects of your life; sometimes not all needs to happen at once. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!😊 ( sorry this is so long!!!)

[@Meggghughes]

Ahhh Victoria thank you so much for this 🥹🥹

[@Ashainthecity_]

Honestly thank you for this…this is so refreshing to hear. Im 30 and at my moms too. I never hear the end of “where im supposed to be or what im supposed to be doing. I hear it from my mom and family members constantly and it can be so discouraging. Thank you for the kind words.

[@lovelovelovemusic]

Hey! Meg, thanks so much for using our music :) we loved your vlog and definetly enjoyed a bit of insight into the world of an introvert (coming from a extreme extrovert!). Have a great day :)

[@ellakndy]

you make me feel so at peace and not afraid of being alone!! you've actually helped me so much so thank you and ily

[@Cuentainutilizada2]

your videos are such a blessing ❤️🫶 I’m going through one of the most stressful eras of my life and you help me SO much

[@Meggghughes]

Ah I’m so glad it helped 🥹

[@andreahoffmann7216]

Hi Meg, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now but have never commented. I was rewatching your videos today and wanted to say, I relate to you. I‘m 24, live in Canada. I graduated from college a year ago. Up until 21, I had always lived at home, with my parents, brother, and my furry babies. At 21, I felt the pressure of moving out, feeling „too old“ to live at home, needing to start „adulting“. I got myself an apartment very close the college I went to, in the city. I was so sad to move out but I thought I had to and thought the sadness would go away eventually. So I moved and took my 3 cats with me. The first night, I sobbed for 8 hours straight. I felt unsafe, guilty for taking the freedom of a house and garden away from my cats. I missed my parents. I was scared. My babies were scared. And again, I thought it was something everyone has to just get through. The apartment was gorgeous and the price was decent, so I also felt guilty for not making the most of the new chapter in my life. I tried making up a new routine. But in the end, I got more miserable as time went on. I cried almost every evening, I had no motivation to cook, I had no appetite. I went back home every weekend but that still didn’t feel like enough. Then I tried not going back home at all for a month too see if I’d get used to the new life faster that way, but I couldn’t stop thinking about life at home. My cats couldn’t go out as often, couldn’t lie in the sunshine whenever they pleased. The hardest part was going back to college after Christmas holidays. I was just sad, most of the time. I ended up telling my parents how I’d been feeling and decided to move back home in May (9 months after moving into the apartment). I moved all my stuff back home, back to nature and most importantly, my babies got their best life back. It’s been 2 years now, I have a full time job, I am an adult, I have responsibilities, but I still live at home and haven’t thought about moving out. I am happy. Maybe I just wasn’t ready then but tbh I am not ready now either. I had to pay 3 months worth of rent for an empty apartment haha (contracts are usually 12 months here). I guess what I’m trying to say is, do what feels right for you. Don’t rush anything. You are doing so wonderfully. I think I rambled on a bit, but I wanted to share that you are not alone. And there are different paths in life, each person is different, each family is different. And I want you to know that whatever you decide, I hope you do it because it feels right, it feels good. There is no right answer. But I think the wrong answer is doing something because we feel pressured to do it. I’m sending you lots of happy hugs, I hope you are doing well and having a lovely summer ☺️ xx Andie I want to add that I know I am very, very fortunate to have been able to go back home 2 years ago and to still be able to live at home now. I don’t take that for granted.

[@dalsiec]

hi! thank you for sharing your story. i completely agree with what you said and that made me feel less lonely in my choice. sometimes i feel judged just because i still live with my family but the truth is, i enjoy staying with them! i of course would love to get my own place one day, but i can say that right now the timing is just not right :)

[@nicolescsantos]

your vlogs inspires me sm. i love how calming & peaceful it is every time!💓

[@sarahcook6487]

there is nothing i love more in life than your book content. it makes me so danm happy!!

[@Marjorie91]

Absolutely love watching your videos on a Sunday as a way of winding down and prepping for the new week. Take your time to enjoy your well-earned rest 🐢✨⚡️🌙

[@annabeltomkins4533]

Love your videos ❤ I feel like we are so similar in our comforts and what we like, but also in our worries regarding what is next and where to live and feeling that pressure etc. Do what makes you happy and comfortable. I think like you say it is great to visit and experience cities, but also it is soo lovely to come home to somewhere more peaceful and green. I think I’m just trying to say that I see where you’re coming from and am sending love ❤ thanks for another sweet video xx

[@eva.marlene]

i‘ve been feeling pretty anxious and stressed the last couple of weeks, as i am finishing school next month, but sometimes i feel like the only thing that actually keeps me grounded and comforts me is watching your videos

[@Meggghughes]

😭😭 I’m so happy I can help!!

[@Rachelkellygraham_]

Hey Meg , as someone who graduated last may from tv and media production I just want to say don’t be too hard on yourself. Everything will fall into place , try a lot of different things before going into film and tv industry, it’s tough but 1000% worth and aslo I’m too kinda shy person don’t like networking but being in the industry has really push me out of my comfort zone . I really love your vlogs ❤

[@carligreeff1798]

Aw yes I also want to live surrounded by nature, especially near the ocean. It’s so peaceful.

[@evaklazidou]

Hi Meg, I think I never left a comment in your channel but I’m watching you since you started and I want to say. I am 28 and my whole life I lived in the city. I temporarily lived in London and Dublin so that hustle bustle life is what I’ve known. I always craved a slow life and lately that it’s ‘trending’ I find myself questioning if I want it or if society and the internet makes me want it. I assume, the pressure of the city life chase being set in stone for decades now must be millions of times greater. My wholeheartedly advise would be, don’t rush yourself to make the next move. You are only 23. You just finished college. Let the next chapter come to you, don’t go searching for it ❤

[@hkl_23]

I really like quiet and away from crowds and it gives me a very serene meditative effect

[@salimanathoo1441]

Your personality is magnetic....you are a beautiful honest genuine soul. Follow your heart dear always❤

[@Caleymay]

Don’t be hard on yourself. I feel what your saying, I moved out of home and moved to a hustle bustle area and i couldn’t do it. I love the country side so i knew that’s where I needed to be. Trust your gut and forget about the pressure. You can always travel to work, and come home to peace.

[@sazburt]

SILVERSTONE!!!! Omg so fun. I will be going to the race in Spa

[@Meggghughes]

YES!!!! Ahhhh amazing!!!

[@orlamulcahy6092]

OMG ARE YOU GOING WIMBELDON?!?! That is the dream cannot wait for the vlog😱🥳🥳

[@mochiandco.]

I’ve already commented this but I’m going to comment it again. You literally have the most beautiful and cosiest bedroom and home !!! ✨

[@MariaMedeiros]

Meg you do what brings you peace and calmness. Do what makes you happy and joy. Do what heals and brings peace within you. Thank you for sharing your reality with us. I feel as humans we all make our selves feel bad about something. We are such complicated species. I believe that you will figure things out in time. sending you all my positivity and prayers. :)

[@3bory]

Oh gosh, so excited for you to go to cannes ,I love the content you create out there

[@Meggghughes]

I’m excited too!!

[@brianna3965]

Meg I am in the same boat about moving out and the prices of things are crazy! I am still living at home even though I would love to have a place of my own

[@alexandraw.l]

*screaming* about the fact that you're going to Silverstone !!!! have fun ahhhhh thats so exciting🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@KhumoMarkham]

The pictures of Lana and JFK on your collage have me geeking! I love it

[@briannanolan4622]

As soon as I saw the title, I knew I had to subscribe! Sending love from a fellow introvert ❤

[@Bunn1baby]

Comfort KZbinr, I’ve just found you and you bring me such peace. Don’t stop doing j what you’re doing! ☁️💕✨

[@exlibrislily7444]

I am obsessed with your glasses frames!! This was such a nice cozy vlog, absolutely loved it 😃 Best wishes from Australia 💕

[@katielucys]

I feel the exact same!! Why is there so much pressure to move to London of all places too?! I have lots of friends there and go all the time but it doesn't feel right for me, so I'm following that instinct, and you should too! Just because it's right for some people doesn't mean it's necessarily right for you. I'm telling myself to enjoy where I am and not worry too much - I think that's the best thing for it :-) x

[@marlieeb]

hii :) where did you get your blue sleep button up from?? also, love the new hair 🩷

[@heatherpinch6159]

Man have I missed your videos. Catching up. Your videos are always super soothing and make me feel happy and calm. And side note... your hair!! ❤

[@Andreina_fdz]

I liked beach read so much more than happy place so I highly recommend that one if you end up liking this one!

[@kimboj]

Meg if you're thinking of working in London you don't have to live there! I live in Surrey currently and absolutely love it, you would be amazed at how much green space there is on the outskirts of London!! XXX

[@jenniferkeating1124]

Ahhh, I think I know where you’re going in July!!!🏎️ Enjoy it!!!❤️

[@thekaylakoss]

your hair looks beautiful!! Omg!!!

[@Meggghughes]

Thank youuuu

[@ellakndy]

your new hair is gorg and suits u so so much

[@beatrizrodrigues6802]

Also please keep in mind that the reality of living in London most times doesn’t live up to the hype or what gets shared on social media. As someone that grew up in the countryside and loved london, I moved there right after graduation and I regretted it. I ended up moving outside of London because I was paying a premium price to be in London and then not being able to afford to do anything there.

[@carolinemiller496]

Not me drinking peach iced tea while watching this video🤭😌

I cannot imagine you living in a city I think that you are a countryside girl , about London it’s a very busy out there , a few months back I visited Lake District and it was phenomenal. I really think you would love it there.

[@DonatellaButt]

[@Juliejooon]

Completely relate to the countryside living, decided to move out of Paris and NYC and chose Boston which is within driving distance to cape cod (perfect countryside living) 🥰🥰

[@Meggghughes]

[@sophiaisabelle01]

We hope you're doing well. May God bless you.

[@e4mi]

Newer subscriber and new commenter (US). First, I love your content, its so cute! Second, I grew up in the country then got my Masters in DC. My advise is just to breathe and take your time to discover post college you. It might be very different than pre college you, and that is ok. If you don't like the city for more than a visit, then stay in the country 💚You could try to get a hybrid or remote job and see if you can handle that before deciding on a whole move to a place that could make your mental health unstable. Discover and be yourself, society is a dumpster fire of bad expectations that don't make sense haha ❤

[@Just_Do_It_For_Yourself]

😍😍😍😍

[@emilyg8774]

Hi!what do you do when you feel lonely?❤

[@shelleycallus3998]

[@emilyhughes4531]

Silverstone? xx

[@Jasmin-tv8yu]

Where are your earrings from x

[@brigittekrause3944]

Hey this might be an odd question, I recently started to follow you and I just see this blue tote bag that you have - do you remember where this is from? :)

[@Meggghughes]

Yesss it’s from Tory Burch!!

[@LivDevereux]

I’m usually a silent watcher lol I don’t tend to leave comments but I just wanted to say I get how you feel about moving away from the country. I’m from Somerset and I moved away when I was 19 to go to drama school in London - best and hardest decision I’ve made to date. I hope you don’t mind me offering some unasked for advice lol, but I’m 23 now, and I’ve just finished uni too and I think, especially in our industry, the future is so uncertain and scary for actors like me and film makers like you it’s literally all so uncertain and up in the air, what a great career we’ve chose lol. And maybe you’ll love London/city living or you’ll hate it but the best thing is, even though we’re kind-of-adults we’re actually still pretty young and if moving to a city is a big mistake then move back or if you stay in the country and change your mind that’s cool too, you can. You have time, you don’t have kids or a mortgage you can move and change your mind, maybe trial it out with a sublet in an outer borough of the city, I live in Ealing and it genuinely feels a bit like the town near where I grew up, so maybe you could try different areas, or different smaller cities and see how it goes? Or see how your work goes wherever you are right now there’s no reason why you can’t stay there and then travel to wherever the work is. I think a lot of adult life is trying stuff on, seeing if it fits and if it doesn’t move on to the next, life is too short and our twenties are even shorter. Maybe because you share your life online you feel as though you have this extra pressure to get it right first time but genuinely, from someone in a similar boat to you, it’s nice seeing that I’m not alone in my worries/struggles. My mum always said, “It’ll all work out the way it’s meant to” and I genuinely believe that’s the case. I hope you and your loved ones are all well and I hope you have a great summer x

[@vanessacanodelgado5528]

What the breed of your cats?

Hai friend i like your videos❤ watching philippines

[@lauradonnelly1455]

why can i not figure out if ur southern or northern

[@BamBabyBrenda]

Why di you add that you're an introvert to all your titles? Im an introvert but i dont constantly announce it

[@Meggghughes]

Hey, I do it so that people who are introverted like me can find my videos! It’s simply to help create a community here because I am introverted I feel like people who are the same would enjoy my content. That’s it, not that big of a deal :)

[@actgirl1234567]

❤

[@ДарьяОлифиренко-л7з]

I love your videos 🥹❤️

[@3bory]

I really love your haircut, but the color not much. I’m a big fan dark highlights

[@martinmuzoc]

An introvert that creates youtube content is an oxymoron

[@Meggghughes]

Not really! I am an introvert but I also like to push myself out of my comfort zone. Also I’m really just talking to a camera all by myself lol

[@giannellalopez8805]

Your hair is pretty but it makes you look older.

[@3bory]

I heard a lot of people overthink after college and I think that’s OK just share it with someone so it doesn’t feel heavy on your chest🫶🏻
