Hi Michelle… a month or so ago I found a lump in my breast and after weeks of appointments and not knowing my fate, finally today the doctor reported to me that the biopsy concluded it’s just a fibroid. I feel like I have a new lease on life and just wrapped up this great day watching this video. I am so happy and excited to see you are loving life and happy. Xoxo

[@masedi_linda_batsweleng]

I'm happy for you that it isn't cancer. Stay healthy and live long❤

So Glad You're ok 💯💯💯 Now go celebrate with a Boba Tea 🥤😁👍

[@sabinaislamova7178]

I am absolutely in tears. Why you may ask? Just by seeing how happy Michelle is just makes me tear up. Like as a child I would imagine my adult years to be something like this. Especially after seeing Blurry Salsa Man and Michelle meditating next to the ocean it just really hit a spot for me. I am sooo happy Michelle is happy and I really do hope you continue sharing your happy moments with us

[@sarahk8758]

i saw michelle and salsa man back in march in soho walking around hand in hand looking cute af--i can confirm he's very handsome :) i kept the spotting to myself since she hadn't revealed anything to us yet at that point, but it's so sweet to see them together in the vlogs! seems like a good one.

[@silavabdullah9902]

[@ditaaliffia]

Is it just me but I bawl my eyes seeing Mish jave gotten a lot brighter these times around, remember those time she was facing hard times finding friends, now she got tons of influencers friends whom she is able to relate to, moreover she looked in a way more 'her' with this blurry salsa man. Sooo happy for you Mish

[@3262dc]

i was seriously on the process of self-sabotaging and thinking of excuses not to workout again when your video came up. now, after watching i can say that i suddenly feel better for realll i feel so motivated to go on and continue with that progress again. you remind me of the kind of person i wanna be and that reminder that of course i have to work for it hihi. thank you, meesh! also, that little backhug at the beach was sooo cute!! take care xx

[@mariah8117]

“Closed our eyes and meditated” got me teary! I love that- so wholesome Much love from Australia 💕

[@moonann5717]

This is random, BUT I have mixed feelings ( a happy one). This vlog is healing, happy, memories, 'living in the moment', inspiring, journey and life (that's how I describe it). Another version of Michelle, getting out of her comfort zone, I feel that. Here I am still growing and trying to get out of my comfort zone. I wanna be like you. And maybe someday I'm out of my comfort zone and living comfortably.

[@Lara-ft1mj]

just only focus on yourself and don't focus on others.

[@Lina_5_]

It doesn't mean that Michelle has it all ! FOCUS ON YOU !

[@nanq7394]

I know it’s early but I already start to like how much more confident you seem with the blurry Salsa man. You go girl!

[@HannahMarieee]

Riight it really seems like they are soo good to & for each other 💕💕

[@lauragouveia4526]

they look like such a happy wholesome couple, my heart is so full for her

[@somebody4244]

Seeing Michelle cry because people love her makes my heart burst 🥲🥲their love is a reflection of YOU Michelle, you deserve to be celebrated especially on your birthday ❤️

[@kristina17-9]

Being a private tutor and meeting the student after long, gives immense joy and happiness 💜

[@joanmae1234]

My ex and I just broke up and I remember the days when I was watching your vlogs where you mentioned that you and Ivan broke up and other videos that you had sessions for your mental heath and now you’re living your best life! It inspires me alot. Thank you, Michelle!

[@vienmafaye]

I pray you and blurry salsa man continue being happy together. You truly deserve all the love in the world.

[@sofiegrace8656]

I remember when I started to watch your vlogs… at this time you were still studying in South Korea and I feel like you are my best friend because not only because you make me happy but I feel like I have seen you at such vulnerable parts of your life from crying to laughing. And now we have blurry salsa man and I have never ever seen you happier. You are glowing from the inside. I love you, much love from Germany little puffy.🥹💖😭👑🥰

[@mmiakim]

Although a lot of other people have already said this, you really seem to be glowing in this vlog. Maybe it's Korea or its blurry salsa man, but it makes me feel so happy and at peace seeing you enjoy spending time with those around you. Thanks for sharing your life with us

[@lovalliee]

you being back in korea is also so nostalgic from your early viewers who started watching you when you were in college. seeing you grow over the years is so beautiful ❤️

[@claudz2766]

[@hks191]

Michelle you are having such a good time in your life! I'm so happy for you. You are making me tear up. In addition, the blurry man just adores you and gives so much love. You can feel it in the video. The energy is just different with him. He relaxes you and pays attention. Coming all that way to Korea is even mlre beautiful x

Hi ate michelle. I binge watch your past vlogs through my depressing months and it gives me comfort up to these days. As an INFJ person i relate to you in so many ways. I kinda see my future self in you living alone, and sometimes as an older sister (which i don't have coz im the eldest) being an inspiration to her siblings. I love youuu♥️
