My Decision | Snail Mail Penpal Letter | Japan Theme 🇯🇵🍡📮

[@beautifulground5419]

The viewers (us, me) aren't your boss - you'r the Boss 😉. Do what is best for you. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@nikkicoleengarcia]

I'm glad to know that you are doing well. I look forward to watching more from you. Let us continue creating to express, not to impress. Take care!

[@BrittanyMcCowan]

Thank you Nikki 😊 that’s such a lovely saying. I’m going to use that one as a reminder ❤️❤️

[@catherinemartinez9070]

Yes! Well said. Create not impress.

[@EmmaDurrans]

What an awesome update! I am so happy that you have made the decision to stay on KZbin. You have created such an amazing community. What a lovely video and I can't wait to see more from you, whenever you decide to film and upload a video xx

[@mbhoyt8504]

I am so delighted that you are staying and remembering that this is for fun and our little community! Although some people may leave the channel, there will always be a good portion commenting on every video and always staying with you. Love you and your vids! 💖

[@mei.papier]

I am happy that you are staying and thank you for showing my mail! It was nice to see it again. Looking forward to seeing more penpal videos :)

[@fatdandelions]

Good to have you back. I understand you dip your toes to see if you are still loved. Eventhough KZbin says your numbers are declining. Its not your fault. There is something wrong with KZbin for a year and a half, due to algorithm. Do not watch the numbers if it upsets you. Its your channel, you are The Bossgirl, you are in control. We love to see your love and crafting and whatsnot. Find the pleasure and selflove in your own time. Do not give up. I had that period too but I do not give up with my “poorly” 57 subscribers. But to be honest I am very happy and appreciative with the 57 subs. You may peek at the numbers but do not let it rule your live. Do not give up !!! With Love !!! ❤️ 💕 💗

[@sparky7776]

So glad you decided to stay 🙂 thank you for sharing your videos and inspiration with us . Very much look forward to seeing more from you in the future. I loved this Japan theme .

[@cassandrel4893]

It is thanks to your channel that I started journaling and it is from there that my passion for stationery started! I really like your simplicity and your passion. I'm so happy you're staying!

[@catherinemartinez9070]

Thank you! You are the BEST! You make a difference by serving w/your videos.

[@craftblend]

So glad you decided to stay and yes, please, look out for yourself first! We're here because we think you and your videos are great, so don't worry and have fun!

[@coffeeteapaper]

Yes! Keep it fun for you! You sound much more upbeat which means you’re on your way. 💕 📓 I love to put things from my penpals in my journals and I love this sort of dashboard approach to a mail. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

[@starinwonderland]

I'm so glad you decided to stay. I love your content. 💜 You are so precious and important.

[@ThePamelayap]

I love this video so much, Brittany. We love you! Thank you for your honesty and all you shared with us. SO happy to be able to still watch you at your own pace. Take care.

[@capybara-dreamin]

Love your videos so much! So happy to see this update today :) :)

[@shellyb8943]

You are so sweet and I am so happy you are feeling better. I look forward to see more videos if you continue. I think you are really good at it, have a fantastic day!

[@juliep.14]

I was so glad to hear what you said on this Brittany, thanks so much for continuing to creatively inspire us...and what you said in this, was really good. :)

[@capybara-dreamin]

Now, more than ever, creative engagement in the social sphere is SO important. With the pandemic and lockdowns and many, many unknowns to come: people are isolated, people are wanting to connect but we can't get together like we used to. I also think of senior / assisted elder care homes...they would LOVE to receive some beautiful letters. Also middle school/ high school kiddos are reaching back to 70s and 80s type aesthetic and so certainly the penpal movement would be tremendously helpful as these young people try to connect to each other though the summer and into the next school year. Perhaps some videos addressing these groups would be fresh and timely. Brittany, there are so many ways your beautiful offerings and efforts have reached hearts - the love goes on and it's received and it's not in vain. If it's greater outreach you seek (followers, likes, comments, engagements) add touches and previews onto various realms such as Tik Tok, Instagram, Pinterest...you have SO much gorgeous content from previous videos that you could use; it wouldn't have to be all new content, (i.e. create posts by color story like Pastel-Mania, Mellow Yellow, or best of 2020, most loved / top 5 videos, etc). Maybe a summer intern will lend some time and creative energy to plant these seeds that will drive traffic. KZbin does things to shake up their money machine, they change the algorithms and just make life he** for Creators, at times - keep your lovely chin up, adjust...challenges also bring us growth and grit. :) Carry on, and thank you for all the beauty you bring to this world. :) I am sure you have magnificent things planned ahead - this is just fatigue and you did the right thing to listen to your heart. Recharge your creative batteries and we will be here ready when you are. :) :)

[@Ordinarygirl375]

So glad to hear you are staying! And looking forward for your video's! Great idea for the upcycle!

[@fofurasnopalito1663]

Thank you for staying with us!

[@akitajournals]

Awesome video Brittany! I'm happy to see that you're doing well! I love the mail you made, and your voiceover was really moving :,) Congrats on finishing all of your exams! Your channel and community are really sweet, so I'm happy you decided to stay on youtube

[@christinleighh]

I'm glad you feel supported by this community that you've built! You deserve it. Numbers & algorithms suck but you have something real here! 😘

[@BrittanyMcCowan]

Thank you so much Christin xx

[@maryregan4099]

Glad your staying love the snail mail

[@jonfen1657]

I'm glad you decided to continue. Last week I wrote you a comment but decided not to publish it because I wasn't sure how you would take it (and I didn't want to hurt your feelings) but now that you said it yourself I can say it too. I had for a while felt that the joy and spark was missing from your videos. I'm really glad if you can stop checking the numbers and focus on making videos that you enjoy and only make them when it feels good to make them. All the best to you and see you when I see you again. :)

[@olivierbabar2884]

So happy you are staying!! Beautiful mail

[@bluevioletzart]

Yay! So happy to hear that you landed on a perfect decision that balances what you love to do with keeping healthy. Great video, I really enjoyed it and hearing you talk about your journey. Hugs 🤗

[@YashCreationsArts]

Omg I'm really very happy for ur decision. I'm the most happiest person in the whole world. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Not getting words to express

[@beatee768]

Well done on listening to your body, mind, and spirit. We have to take care of ourselves because nobody knows us more than ourselves. I think you already knew your future path, you just needed to say it out loud. This is good, it will hold you to your new promise 😘 You MUST come FIRST. I lost one of my gorgeous cats today, these things make you snap back into reality and to remember what is so important. Us who are sticking with you are most likely living a very mixed up, confused, crazy life as well, you can lead the army 😁

[@loulous3949]

So pretty! You inspire me so much :)) Good luck

[@BrittanyMcCowan]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kushanipieries123]

This is so beautiful ❤️ and super cute ...And I think your decision is good. Even I have such a hard time going through so much pressure and bringing myself down whenever I set deadlines or milestones for me. But then I learned to let it flow freely..love your work Brittany 💓💓💓😘 lots of love..

[@adrianascaneiro6618]

Amazing❤️❤️❤️

[@scrapfie2830]

Lotttttsssss of love from Belgium!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@debbienorris4343]

Sounds like you have gone through quite a self reflection process and purging! That can be exhausting and you are wise to listen to your body’s message to slow down and implement boundaries. Your artistic side as well as your wisdom and strength have always impressed me! I wish you all the best as you continue your journey and look forward to any videos you decide to post!

[@staciecrews9625]

WOW. Where do you get your dye cuts?

[@oureclecticlife]

Oh honey, sounds like you were going through a bit of a burnout. You’ve had so much going on over the past 12 months. You’ve moved interstate, had your study to worry about too. Just remember, you need to put yourself as number one priority in your life xox
