It’s ok Michelle you can slurp your noodles 🍜🍜🍜 that’s the best part! Glad to see you give yourself grace through your off days 🫶🏼

agreed! 😚🍜

[@CindyPOfficial]

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

[@roryroopa]

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 💯

[@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!

[@michellechoii]

🥹🥹♥️

[@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

[@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 🥺

[@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!

[@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.

[@e__naa]

Omg Michelle🥹 This video made my day and I loved the gift!! You're so sweet🍬🍫🍰🍮🍭🍧

[@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 🌹

[@wanheekim]

the way you convey your real self on these vlogs is so inspiring! keep it up!

[@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!

[@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.

[@dkwon153]

I recently found out about your channel and have been watching them. I dunno why but your videos are so healing and they inspire me. Thank you.

[@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❤️

Love the dog heavy content this week!! Also don’t stop slurping! Live your life how you want girl 😘

So true! ❤️

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 !!

[@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!

[@alexanderd.flores5042]

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

[@colleenconway5109]

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. 🌸🙋‍♀️

[@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 🥰♥️

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

I’m battling with mental health too so it’s nice to know how you manage to lift yourself up cause right now my energy and spirits are just not good and it’s sucks

[@candaceapril5326]

Thankyou so much for not showing just the perfect parts of of your life.❤ It was so refreshing and it made me remember that everyone goes through this from time to time.

[@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

[@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. Like having anxiety and depression is being scared and tired but watching your all videos makes me relax. Thank you so much being here. I hope see u soon. Love u and fighting ❤️

really needed that reminder! ive been so busy with other stuff in my life that i stopped watching videos and kdramas. now, i want rekindle my love for both. ive also been messing up lately that all i do is lay on my bed. i really forgot all the self care that i do ever since i moved and ive been just slumping myself in acads and stress.

[@madisonismadd]

I was feeling down today, but watching you makes me feel so much better! Watching your videos is always a stress relief for me. Love you sm!! ♡

[@lana_000]

Hii, I'm infj too and I'm getting so comfortable watching you, love youuu 💗

[@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.

[@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.

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 💗

[@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

[@menucafe]

I was having such a sad day, your vlogs always comfort me for some reason. I'm glad you posted today ty 🥺

I was just having a really bad day emotionally without any reason and I realized I was actually being really hard on myself, this video came just at the right moment :) thanks. sending love to everyone feeling down in the dumps
