Girl, I get you. Have ended the year with crying everyday. Started the new year with an identity crisis. Got fired this week but enough is enough. I got two job interviews next week, imma start working out again. And find some routine. We got this! Good Luck Michelle

[@jaserahsyed441]

Hey I would like to tell you of how brave you are. Hope you feel better and all the best. You'll do your best ❤️

[@bushrasaid195]

All the best of luckk ❤

[@khalilahd.]

It’s not easy to be this open and honest, you’re incredible for that. Also good luck on the interviews and self care and remember you’re doing better than you’re feeling 💜

[@asthesunfades8261]

You got this! Hope things are getting better for you❤️❤️

[@Choxia]

You got this girl, we are all grinding and I hope it all works out for us all!

[@sakshipanda4298]

Time since January has been a little weird. Everyone is low emotionally..but we got this❤️ So happy Michelle posted!!

[@khalilahd.]

I couldn’t agree more. I think the weather may be playing a part in that but Michelle always makes my day ☺️💜

[@Choxia]

Ain’t that the truth

[@rms7735]

That is so true! I’m glad I’m not alone

Michelle: I'm kinda in the mood to watch something I've already watched before. Me: I can relate. *hits replay after video ends*

[@khalilahd.]

😂😂 same

[@i_amsalmar]

Not me rewatching her video after 11 months

[@_bmee]

january felt like the longest month ever, been feeling burnout too and it still lingering in feb. stay motivated everyone!

[@khalilahd.]

This made me feel so much better. Thanks for the motivation 💜

[@lenesandoval]

Yessss

[@YennySeo]

baby michelle would be so proud of grown up michelle 🥺

[@akosibail]

Michelle has meals before her meals and still always looks amazing meanwhile I smell a cup of tea and gain 15 lbs of fat instantly 🤣

[@yesceniacampos414]

Same 🤣🤣🤣

[@dawnforlife]

HAHAH! My husband says "You eat every two hours and I get fat just from breathing.". I have to say you guys in that category seem to have a great sense of humour though 😆

[@mikus2129]

Same 🙊🙊🙊

[@haven5628]

I missed to submit an assignment and I've been feeling down, demotivated to do my other school works, but thanks Michelle for uploading a soothing and motivating content again! I feel like accomplishing things now :)

[@bre9708]

sorry to hear, you got this, cheer up. sending love

[@khalilahd.]

Don’t worry that happened to me not that long ago and I was so upset with myself but I took the time to forgive myself and reset. I hope you begin to feel better soon 💜

[@aaronamoso]

Whenever she posts, I get so happy. I really feel so comfortable watching her🥺

[@axllj]

it’s crazy how your vlogs always put me in such a good mood, they’re rlly like a bowl of fresh air haha 🤍

[@nina_park]

Glad to see you in higher spirits Michelle! I wear my workout clothes to get motivated to exercise too 😛

[@khalilahd.]

Lol same!

[@evew688]

I think it's due to "standards" of social media. Every time I open instagram, I swear it's all, "go get it now, it's now or never, be a better you than you were yesterday, no one is going to do it for you but you, don't regret anything, keep going" and all other nonsense, really. If you keep doing that to yourself, it's only going to cause you to be depressed and unrealistic. I get the hype around 2022 being the healthiest year, being everyone's year to get fit, but it's like chasing an endless idea of yourself through what you can prove to others by their standards, you're only going to hate yourself when you "don't prove to have a better day than yesterday". Do whatever you feel like you want to do. No one looks back on self hate and think, wow that was helpful

[@marccolomayt82094]

This is my favorite kind of comfort in Michelle's vlog! Advance Happy Valentine's Day!!! ❤❤❤

[@SundayswithJamie]

your food reaccs are always my fave, Michelle! Loved the throwback footage of baby meesh 🥰 so incredible to see how far you’ve come!! 🤩

[@LindaThao]

Been feeling emotionally burnt out too, I’m glad to see how Michelle deals with it as well 💕🥺

[@merrittpalmer4349]

Why do you people idolize this girl?

[@YT-GuestAccount]

@@merrittpalmer4349 She seems like a genuinely sweet person but I think a big portion of the hype is about her absolutely beautiful and classy appearance that is quite mesmerizing - this and the luxury lifestyle makes many other young girls/women simply dream up - bc let's be honest: her content itself is quite trivial.

[@merrittpalmer4349]

@@YT-GuestAccount That's what I think. She seems like a nice person but it's pretty obvious the reason she gets so many views and a lot of (particularly Asian) girls put her on a pedestal is because of her physical attractiveness.

[@NicoleBernadette]

You’re not alone, same here! We’ll make it❤️

[@TheJulietxo]

@@merrittpalmer4349 I don't idolize people I don't know but I as a content creator I think she does talk about real things she struggles with on occasion that's reliable for young women while also showing the anesthetic/glamorous parts of her life. I do find her videos enjoyable for those reasons. I feel like her content is as realistic as you can expect from an online persona(even if her lifestyle isn't relatable)

[@vaishnavi1798]

Hey Michelle , your vlogs are saver most satisfying escape from the day ! Just post regularly and love to watch your nyc lifestyle ...Girl ..you deserve love ,more power to you ! Thankful today !

[@mistydeguzman1047]

I don't know if its just me, but I feel like I am productive at home everytime I watch your vlogs. Also, this is where I get the idea on home decor, appliances, etc. Now, Imma buy that air fyer too 😅😅😅 and bec of you, I am more in love in staying at home, alone. 💕 Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@bre9708]

the smell it gives off makes me sick. idk if it's the brand or what, just letting yk my experience

[@amandam.7057]

@@bre9708 I saw some reviews that said it smelled like burnt plastic! Have you been able to find another brand that works better? I've also been tempted to buy one

[@bre9708]

@@amandam.7057 i haven't tried other brands so i am not sure

[@stefanie8247]

I am so excited whenever Michelle uploads a new video, I even had to rewatch previous videos cuz it’s so enjoyable and somewhat like a friend who accompanies you~ it just made my day

[@elytorres-alcantar9878]

Wishing you & Dobby a Happy Valentine's day 🌹💕🐶! Cheers to being homebodies 🍻 :)

[@diyachhetri6981]

Her videos makes me feel soo happy.. it is one of the things that i look forward to every week😭💜❤️

[@mr.peanutbutter]

I was pretty sincerely worn out too so that the previous week and happy might see you in such a positive disposition! furthermore what a method for finishing an end of the week. I hate that you're going through this, but I know that you've got this. ❤️❤️❤️

[@nat8827]

idk why but watching Michelle's vlog really comforts me. im a university student and currently living alone rn, so i feel really motivated to fight alone yk

[@catbus7824]

I got a bit emotionally burned out myself the last few days and also decided the thing to do was to watch Nevertheless for the second time. Glad I'm not the only one to resort to rewatching, there is something very relaxing about already knowing the entire plot. Loved the video, as always :)

[@klee2564]

Hi Michelle ~You are giving me so much energy to get up and spend my own time so happily~~~feeding myself, getting neat around, walking around ~ something I put behind after doing the things that I “have to” do. Thank you ~!

[@akimoon2755]

You know it’s gonna be a good day when Michelle Choi post ❣️😌

[@halsu926]

I've been wanting to start youtube since Elementary school in 2006 but i never got the courage until last year, you inspired me!! I appreciate you Michelle!

[@itspreethikaaa]
