to the person who wrote in saying "I'm in my mid 20's and still feel lost and behind"; as long as you are still alive & thriving, you will never be behind no matter your circumstances. It legit took me 29 years to understand that everyone grows & glows at their own pace. I'm now in my early 30's and still live at home with my parents. I still don't have my drivers licence because of my crippling anxiety but I've never been so content and at peace and full of joy with myself because I finally shed the weight of worrying about others & what they thought of me & what was expected of me. I believe its about letting go of what's weighing us down rather than becoming someone new. Refine & redefine your core, fam ❤️❤️❤️

[@hellenakinyi4750]

29 still live with my parents feeling so behind in all aspects so when I saw the title I had to click

[@Ti_ippyyboy]

@@hellenakinyi4750 29 is still so young! You have so many years ahead of you to discover what truly brings out the most authentic, raw, fearless & powerful you. I wish for you the best xx

[@ericachan452]

Yes, 29 is young, but honestly... It's not that young. I'm 38, and I have the experience of 1) greatly benefitting from making certain financial decisions at a younger age, and 2) wasting time in certain areas and potentially missing out now that I'm older. It is 100% true that growth, understanding yourself, and finding your passions is a lifelong process, as I'm definitely still figuring a lot of things out. But just be mindful, because the years do fly.

[@Ti_ippyyboy]

​@@ericachan452 Indeed, it does. You raise a good point on how time certainly does fly. Id love to hear more on how you feel about this opinion. I guess for myself, I see too many people in my age group complain about how they "wish they did XYZ when they were younger" or "if only I was X years old again I would be happier" and they feel like its too late for them to start. Things like buying your first house, starting university, changing career paths, making new friends, getting braces lol, becoming a parent, finding love, following a belief or discovering faith, moving across the world, imho I don't think there's an age too old for those things. Seeing yourself as "too old" or believing its "too late to start" is another weight to your yoke that you don't need and life is way too precious to be worrying about "If only...".

[@Mervenyum]

I'm making a silent video blog, I'm a Turkish audience, I'm waitingg too :) 💛

[@pris_an]

Michelle is literally so relatable and authentic; I think this is one of the reasons why I love her content dearly. Everyone I know personally always goes out with friends and does spontaneous things while I’m an homebody like Michelle.. and have only a couple of friends in my life. I would’ve never thought someone could be as relatable in terms of living life and such.. I’m just amazed by her huge following and amazing supporters who seem to feel the same way as me. She really deserves this and more🤍🤍

[@michellechoii]

🥺♥️

[@b.eyzaozkan]

Exactly💗

[@yuveraaudiansyah1837]

Agree 100%

[@oa164]

So SO true, feeling the same way

[@janicepik802]

yess everyone you said is so true!

[@kea768]

The words “Living Alone” has given so much of us great comfort and validation ❤️ well done for that

[@janaenae3967]

"I have my hair done and nowhere to go. " what a mood 😂

[@somelikeitposh]

The feeling of loneliness is so real. Also, mid-30s here, thought I had it figured out when I was 28 and scored my dream job only find out it was not anything I thought it would be. I had to restart at 35, so there is no deadline to have it figured out, as long as you have the drive and courage to see things through and start over you will be okay. Also remember, when you are starting over, you are not starting from scratch you are starting from experience! I promise!

[@idiotmuffin]

ty for sharing!!

[@haylivk]

Thank you for sharing that😊

[@BlessedMarisa]

👏🏾👏🏾❤️

[@LayLowize]

I know people who are in their 30/@!#; 40s and still haven't figured it out...you shouldn't measure life with age. Some people are 18 and extremely smart and well adjusted and living like 30 yrs old and there are 30 years old still have no idea...but it's also important to do what you want to do and no matter what everybody is doing. Comparison is killing. Most people are depressed because they keep comparing their lives with others.

[@YounhaMizuki]

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@meeshandivan184]

I love how you're open about being shy and living such a simple life as a KZbinr. I feel like when I watch lifestyle youtubers they're so outgoing and busy out and about but Michelle is so relatable and so comforting to watch.

[@JooHee1994]

😂I literally screamed "ME" when you said you only had one friend and you were mostly horizontal. Making friends as an adult is such a struggle.

[@Sesshomaruwifu]

You said it it’s so hard like why lol it almost feels impossible a lot of ppl can’t keep a conversation or are just simply boring

[@christineee444]

The feeling behind and wanting to find a group of solid girlfriends is a big thing I get sad about monthly lmao :( especially on weekends!!

[@adyfern]

[@dea826]

i remember when you were around 100k subs and still living in korea. it's been a long way since then and we're all so proud of u! thank u for ur lovely vlogs (they accompany me when im studying late at night lol) u're the first youtuber i really followed

[@michellechoii]

Thank you so much🥺🥺♥️

[@lispourmoi]

A 15min vlog?? We're so in for a treat! Whatever you're going through, it'll get better from here

[@knicknun]

“I have my hair done and I have no where to go” love it! It hit me hard. I frequently feel the same way when I have done my morning routine😂

[@haley117]

“It’s something that we all did together” 🥺 queen Michelle right there

[@SocialliSimple]

Her eating cake being unbothered is such a mood 😂❤

[@annaazhang]

Congratulations Michelle! It’s so crazy to see that you’ve reached 1 million subscribers and you honestly deserve everything! I still remember finding you on KZbin while you were doing vlogs in Korea and I have literally not missed a single video from you since then (I always watch from beginning to end). So love how genuine you seem and you’re a huge role model to me! I have also always related to you on a lot of topics especially loneliness 😂 but Again congrats on 1 million!! ❤️

[@michellechoii]

Thank you so much!! So blessed to have supporters like you🥺🥺♥️ TYTY!!!

[@catbus7824]

Longing for a solid group of close girlfriends and trying to figure out social skills is super super relatable, I really appreciate your authenticity, it is nice to know there are others out there who struggle to make friends too.

[@Juju.inseoul]

Michelle Choi: living example of if you are good you attract good. 1000% agree that your subscriber community is one of the sweetest out there. Huge congrats 🎊

[@linweizhang2382]

Resonate with this so much!! This is so wholesome and organic

[@smyangpiano]

Congratulations! Excited to see what’s in the future for you 😁

[@ji8211]

All the other times I’m home… probably horizontal… watching Korean dramas 😂 same meesh, same.

[@asl5454]

Michelle’s videos are like therapy for me and definetly she deserves all this success

[@xinnee2290]

Totally can relate to “hair done, and no where to go”

[@bendjm3059]

Congrats on getting a million. You're a rare jewel, so genuine, classy, funny, and very caring of your subscribers

[@_dearsharon]

almost at that mid-twenties period in my life - both terrified and excited to see what's to come 💗 love how the q&a questions shows that we're all just figuring it out collectively at the end of the day

[@TechoByTori]

1 mil and still the most grounded, wholesome KZbinr out there. You deserve everything!

[@heavenlyclouds95]

Your vlogs are always so calm and real. I’ve never found any other KZbin channel that posts content like yours. Congratulations on the milestone!! 🥰🎉

[@pivengold]

been watching your videos for 3 years now and I just want to say I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished! Your videos have always given me a sense of comfort and you inspire so many of us. Congratulations on hitting 1M! Can’t wait to see what great things the future has in store for you! 💗

[@LindaThao]

*CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 1mil! GOALS!* Your vlogs are such a vibe, so relaxing and exciting to watch 🥰

[@kirawrxD]

1 milly baby :’) my goodness time flies. Feels like just yesterday you were a uni student in Korea vlogging your ramyeon haha ❤️ you deserve this!

[@jhonamae29]

Congratulations on 1 million Michelle! You deserve it. I love how genuine you are and I admire how much you’re doing for your family. I remember subscribing to your channel because you were so independent, doing all these things I couldn’t do myself. You inspire me to go out there and live my life. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TaliseMendoza]

Congratulations on 1m! when watching the living alone diaries I feel like I just watching my best friend. I love your energy and vibes. so exciting to see what you do in the future!

[@izzygray9410]

Omg, huge congrats!!! I can’t wait to see what other projects you come up with as your channel grows 😊

[@teejeechang]

Finally!! A milestone you truly deserve! Congrats, Michelle 💕

[@raihantaib4124]

I've never commented on anyone's video before but it's an exception for you. I remember searching for "skincare routine" on youtube and stumbled upon your channel, which back then you had only 2 videos. Since then, I've never stopped coming back to watch more vids from you. And fast forward to today, whenever I have breaks in between work, after work, before bedtime- I'd rewatch your videos. They're on replay till I decide to stop simply because it makes me feel calm every-single-time. Please continue to do more, because most days, your videos are what keep me going and it might sounds weird and hard to believe but it's true, atleast for me! If there's something I'm grateful for in life, it'd be to have something i can watch over and over again without getting bored but just all the good feels when things get hard and that'd be your videos. So thank you and you truly deserve the number of followers because without you realising it, you've touched many simply by just posting a 10-15 min vids. Keep growing and I truly hope you'll be able to achieve your goal because I just wanna see more blessings coming your way because you're always finding ways to help and make your parents happy. Love love you, Michelle.

[@michellechoii]

😭😭😭😭 thank you so much… 🥺♥️

[@lha.96]

Omg so relatable. Love all your vids Michelle!

[@reneeneo7364]

Really appreciate how authentic you are; I find your genuine words of advice encouraging, as I’m sure many others do 😊 Thanks for sharing your own struggles too, I’m glad there’s this space and community where we can grow together and send positivity to each other! 🙂✨

[@luisaroseroocana4048]

Love all of your vlogs, everytime I feel like I'm chilling or hanging out with a friend. Makes me feel less lonely. 🌞

[@rafaellaoishi5887]

i loved that q&a session, your answers were so heartfelt

[@aysimaberil]

Oh I was feeling so alone in a big city, living by myself but seeing you calms my heart. Thank you for your channel ❤️

[@jox8996]

love how u still stay so humble, love your content meesh!

[@amyyuan2019]

Congrats Michelle!! So happy for you!! I’m always using your video as a “get up” tool since I feel “I want to start my day” after watching your daily!! Thank you so much❤️

[@586bomin]

Congrats Michelle, you really deserve it. Thank you for always being so authentic, I think that's the reason of your success....Sending lots of love ❤

[@ohjubivlogs4114]

[@aavislee]

ahh Michelle!! congrats on 1M :D honestly I appreciate how down-to-earth and authentic you are, and that you're very conscious/aware of not wanting to let the numbers get to your head. that's so refreshing to see here on youtube/social media! hoping that your hardworking parents can retire soon too. thank you for your videos and for being a positive light here on youtube :)

[@23olivejuice]

[@dominiqanbaby]

I started following you early this month. I love your aesthetic and the tranquility in your life. Love your food diaries and your personal adventures of everyday life with your dog Dobby. You are my inspiration for when I move out of my parents house for the single and lonely life. Your life makes it look peaceful. ❤️

[@michellenakayama36]

Would be cool to see Michelle do a Korean drama recommendation/review list ! And I love the living alone diaries 💜

[@zlinn365]

Congrats on hitting 1M, Michelle! And thank you for creating such nice videos! As a viewer of your similar age, I see you as an elder sister and I'm always inspired by your content. Whenever I feel lost and exhausted in my life, I open your channel and watch your uploads, and they just have the magical power to cheer me up! Can't wait to see more in da future! Wish you all the best!!! You deserve it!!!

[@ugne787]

I just binged watched your vlogs, I really enjoy watching your videos, girl! You inspire me so much. Stay strong and take care after yourself, you're doing an amazing job! Remember although you may feel insecure, you inspire so many girls to feel better about themselves. I love your relaxing energy!!

[@talaykhongkhuan316]

I've been following you since you moved to nyc and. I felt that i'm watching a journal of my closed friend. Every times you moved to a new apartment or faced all those problems, it was like I've been through with you and :-). I'm so touched and happy for you. You really deserve more 🌈

[@marialemos4775]

[@juliat.5259]

never commented before, but I have to say that you're really one of my favorite youtubers!! i'd love to hear more of your thoughts cause you're soo relatable and grounded although you've got a million subscribers. hearing you that you're basically a couch potato with one friend and being a person with anxieties and insecurities makes me feel comfortable and makes me think that you still can be successful even though you're not extroverted. it's amazing how you can really connect with people you've never personally met before. i wish we could be friends michelle! ❤️ at least you've got a great and supportive community. you deserve the best!

[@LaurenSum]

“I hang out w one friend and then I’m at home horizontal watching kdramas with Dobby” SO RELATABLE LOL I’m the same I’ve gotten more accustomed to wanting to stay at home and rlly like being a homebody hahaha 😆 congrats on 1 million Michelle! Your the one of the only KZbinrs I look forward to every upload you do here on this platform. Your chill and relatable vlogs is what keeps me going when I’m in a mood. 😌♥️

[@maelle.marieee]

Love the q&a session! ❤️ I'm in my early 20s and feel like there's nowhere to go. I feel lost and trapped. It's comforting to see that this is normal in our 20s. Hope in the near future we could have the peace of mind without comparing ourselves to other people.

[@itsnadiaa]

Congrats Michelle, you deserve it!! You put out such good content, that we look forward to watching every week! As a small (and new) content creator on YT, it's so nice to see how organically and authentically you have grown over the years! ❤️
