Reacting To Your ASSUMPTIONS About Me || Getting Personal 🌷

Hello friends! Today I'm reacting to your assumptions about me and answering some of your most asked questions! I share all about how I discovered cottagecore, romanticizing life, how slow living has changed me as a person, what I do on bad mental health days to make me feel better, and more. I even brought Jared in to answer some fun and quite personal questions. You all were so beautiful and said such kind things. I know this is a bit different from my usual content, but I loved filming it because it gives you a chance to get to know me better :)

Dear Desi, I am an old lady who feels that you are a kindred spirit. We seem to enjoy the same asethetics, books and youtube channels. Is it because you are an old soul or that I'm young at heart? Either way keep up the good work! You will continue to entertain this wrinkled, old crone.

I’m so glad you shared about you and Jared sleeping in separate rooms - this needs to be normalised! My partner and I also do this, for similar reasons, and whenever we’ve told anyone they look at us like we’re insane, or assume that we must not have a good relationship. I honestly think so many couples would benefit from doing it!

[@hounamao7140]

My ex and I had each our own room and own bed and it was probably the best relationship setting ever. I slept well, he played game late as i likes, i had my room to paint and be a good introvert, he had his room to chat over the phone for hours as a good extrovert. And we shared everything else. It was so perfect I’m kinda sad because most guys would think I’m crazy as you say.

[@laurakneski1346]

I love that you’re a public example of happily using separate beds for sleeping - sleeping is health! There’s such a weird stigma against using separate beds! I’m glad I’m not crazy haha.

[@schillingjohanna643]

As a german it's fascinating how much you like germany, maybe I should apreciate living here more !

[@RG-jf5ep]

I live in Canada and I would literally do anything to live in Germany 😂 we always think the grass is always greener

[@RG-jf5ep]

@Your Local dad curious why? Canada is beautiful but unfortunately it’s just not sustainable to live here anymore, we have some of the worst rates of wages to cost of living and housing is unaffordable unless you’re a millionaire. Our economy is a Ponzi scheme that’s dependant on oil and real estate that will likely collapse soon and everyone who can is looking to emigrate. I have no idea how the hell my kids would be able to afford to live here. Plus it’s incredibly boring and isolating, there’s no sense of community, nation or culture

[@RG-jf5ep]

@Todoroki Shoto there’s plenty of dirty places in Canada too, look up the east side of Vancouver (one of the most disgusting places I’ve ever been) or Sarnia or Hamilton. The beautiful areas like Banff would cost you a lot of money to live in. Where I live in Ontario, I would say is literally the same feel as where I went to in Southern Germany, but I found Germany WAY more beautiful because there’s historic areas

[@booksandwine6245]

@Todoroki Shoto that is so true!!! I'm german too and I really dont like it here. I don't think anyone my age I talked to likes living here. as you said, it is depressing. and the historical places may look good on tv, but they are actually not that pretty and really dirty

[@RG-jf5ep]

@Todoroki Shoto I actually did notice that when I traveled there, I feel like Central Europeans tend to be more brash/blunt? However I’m curious if it’s because you live in a big city? Because when I traveled to southern German towns, everyone was super nice, but in larger cities people were ruder (however I would say this is pretty similar to North America/globally as well) the rudest people I’ve ever met were New Yorkers, and people in Toronto can also be pretty rude

[@justanotherartist274]

Yes to slow living! Shortly after I got married, I was diagnosed with Lupus that was triggered by my incredibly fast paced and high stress lifestyle. Since then, my husband and I have embraced slow living and only doing the things we feel we NEED to do. We both work from home teaching music lessons so we are very lucky that we have full control of our schedules and we love our work. And things we NEED to do also include activities like reading for an hour each evening with a fireplace video playing on KZbin or getting croissants to enjoy the next morning while listening to old French songs. Sometimes I forget how magical our life together actually is. Especially with all the classical music the fills our home when my husband practices. But this was a result of us being intentional about how we want to create our lives and letting go of things that are not part of this. It's hard but soooo worth it!

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

[@gypsyjunklady]

Yes! Normalize seperate bedrooms! It just works better for some and by some I mean my partner and I as well. Ten years together and we have often spent years having separate houses even and we have three children and are totally monogamous. I loved how Downtown Abby showed this as well because it used to be accepted that women needed a room of their own to feel like they could just nest in and often it was highly feminine and not as appreciated by the man, but honestly, I appreciate both masculine and feminine styles and I LOVE being able to go back and forth! We will sleep together at times and love being able to pick the style. That whole "my place or yours?" thing helps to allow us the space we need as both highly different and independent individuals, and yet spend as much time together as we please. Folks have thought for years that we were odd but it is so nice for us to maintain our own personal spaces! I love him and he loves me, but we also have self love and maintain our own personalities in a very opposites attract sort of way. I wouldn't change that for the world!

@@itskenzaa You’re very wise to already be thinking of these parts of your future relationship. Most of us just go into it thinking it will all just work itself out. Although we do have to learn to live well and lovingly with another person, we can choose as a couple how that actually looks for us. No need to mimic other couples who often have unnecessary conflicts because they don’t want to seem different from everyone else.

[@susanbuckley4153]

I absolutely LOVE the fact that you sleep in separate beds.. good for you!! Anyone out there who thinks a couple need to share the same bed is what “holds the relationship together” couldn’t be more wrong.. if that were the case, we’d have no divorces?!?! I love my own bedroom... and so does he , it has worked for 16 years now 🧡

[@melirl7028]

youre 29??? I'm 19 and I thought you were my age or a few years older! You must look so young because you're shining with radiant happiness;) I found your channel this morning, and I'm so glad I did!

[@evelynsfeather4159]

Can someone be even more aesthetic than you?🥺 Your recent content really inspires me to make some little changes into my own life☺️🌼

[@lifewithgracie9936]

I relate to you so much Desi being dyslexic is really kinda hard sometimes so it feels good to know like I’m not the only one if that makes sense lol!🫶

[@portiastrange8547]

I reread 'The Girl on the Train' just last month. I read it in about a week. Before that, I'd also been in a reading slump for many years & forgot the joy of reading just to read. I love psychological thrillers! I then read 'The Haunting of Hill House' & am now reading 'Frankenstein' (both based on your recommendations). Thank you for sharing book recommendations, as well as inspiring me to fall in love with reading again. Bless you Desi! ❤

[@LimitlessWithin]

That's wonderful! Its so true that it's good for us to live slow! Taking time and looking at all the details and thanking God for your life is so special🥰❤️

[@gracytheshark77]

I agree!

[@crowfaerymori]

I lived on a few acres as a child, too. We had donkeys and chickens and I climbed trees. I loved learning more about you. You are inspiring! I think there's a lot of us out there who want to live in Hobbiton!

[@inkpage3769]

This was a fun behind the scenes video. I loved learning more about how you structure your time and balance life with filming/editing. Thanks for sharing!

[@LexiePersonForever]

i have mild dyslexia that i never really got help with so i didn't know my speech problems and bad handwritnng were probably also due to dyslexia. but i feel that. i think i fell out of love with reading when i realized how slow i read (~20 pages/hr, and the average person reads 40-50/hr) and it was discouraging, but when i stopped having expectations like that about reading, it became fun again

[@meganamos8543]

This was so fun to watch. It’s great to learn more about you. I absolutely love the Shire. It’s my top fantasy world to live in. I’m slowly turning my home into a hobbit hole. ☕️📚🐈‍⬛

🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻

[@carmelmello1719]

Desi, you inspire me so much!!

[@DarlingDesi]

You’re so kind, thank you Carmel 🥺🙏🏻

[@teresafranco8101]

Your playfulness and features remind me of an older version of a character pipí longstocking who used to be on TV many years ago

[@Abspro50]

I'm an Irish/English lass and my wee cottage is bang opposite the house the Bronte's grew up in, in Haworth, West Yorkshire. I think you'd like it here. It's bloody cold in winter but spring is on its way and looking pretty.

[@rilesywilesy2920]

That sounds amazing!

[@tanliz765]

Wow! 😍

[@matejakalingar8636]

Dear Desi, it was great to get to know you better! I think it's wonderful that you got to love books and reading so much after years of not reading because of dyslexia. I also think it was brave to make this video and respond to some intimate questions. And I love how you're being honest and realistic, like when you're talking about bringing cottagecore as much as you can in your apartment which still is an apartment and not a cottage or a Hobbit hole, and being comfy in your sweats when you're not going anywhere nor filming. I think it's beautiful to find some great inspiration and try to incorporate that in your life even when you don't have a possibility to really live in England, Shire, Green Gables or wherever your heart really reacts to (belongs to 🤔☺️?). But it definitely makes you love your home more and it gives you that comfort feeling when you are at home. It's also great to see you and your husband together, you're a lovely couple! And I'm so happy you're close to your goal of making enough money from KZbin and Patreon! You're doing a wonderful job!

[@jess53nz]

My hubby and i have our own rooms too! So nice to have our own space and we both get a good sleep. He's a night owl, I'm and early bird. Love hearing of others who do this!!

[@biancasuiugan9866]

Omg I'm a romanian and knowing you researched about my country to understand some concepts about vampires is so cool to me😂 It's more fun considering I just talked about this to my sister last night😂😂

[@EveryFurtherMile]

I think it's great that you don't buy something until you find something you love. It's something I've decided to do. It's the best way to surround yourself with things you love

[@thebookbelle]

I loved this Desi! So lovely getting to know more about you :)

[@pattywood586]

You NEED to play Animal Crossing. I feel like you would be so in love with it!

[@Happy-hippy]

You should do a video with the cottage fairy!!! Y’all are my two favorite KZbinrs!!!!!! ❤️

[@ituesday24]

I love that you imagine your life as a movie! I imagine my life as a story in a book of fairy tales 😄

[@msanrai]

These vids make me feel better. I cant explain why.😊

[@amyfrommn7224]

You seem to have the Anne Shirley spirit, I think that would be a kindred spirit ☺️. I enjoyed watching this mainly because you sound like someone I would get along with in person. I’m glad you and your husband also addressed that you sleep apart but are ok with it. 👌🏻 My husband and I are the same. He stays up late and ends up falling asleep on the couch.

[@daniellafonagy7685]

When she was talking about that she changed it happened to me as well . Like literally the same things cottagecore and slow living🥺

[@denisejurado8335]

You’ve just inspired me to rekindle my love of reading, you are so awesome! Love your vibe!!! So pretty and peaceful 😌

[@marissaatherton]

If you love modernly-written Regency Romance, you have to read Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. It is my favorite! She intentionally wrote the dialogue in a modern tone, to make it more approachable to modern readers. Recently found your KZbin channel (from your CottageCore media recommendations video ) and loved getting to know you better through this video! ☺️

[@melissar6365]

Wow!! This was really well done and so fabulous of you to share so much with us. I can relate to so much of what you said and I have similar traits. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m so glad I found your KZbin channel. There are two that have really helped me through this last year and yours is one of them. I’ve really changed this year and you’ve opened my eyes to some things and/or got me back to some things I’ve forgotten about or were too busy to take the time to enjoy. Thank you for this. I’m an old soul and have loved cottagecore before I even knew it was a thing or had a name. I’m enjoying trying to romanticizing my life and appreciate all the little things. As they say, it’s the dash between your birth date and passing date that counts. It doesn’t mean you have to travel the world, you just need to be happy and enjoy/appreciate what you have and who you have in life.

[@elizabethlowery636]

My favorite flower has always been Baby’s Breath too!! I thought I was the only one

[@kathh_1467]

Same!

[@elmu3582]

hahah, when Jared said that he is glad you didn't paint your walls pink and I was calling my boyfriend to watch the scene.. My wall is pink with glitter on it :D

[@ariefahazhar3842]

I used to romanticise my life too until i was bullied badly for being the ‘main character’. I was locked in a janitor closet , strangled ,spat on at school. At home my siblings hit me,i sleep on the floor with no blanket. So i became very bitter as an adult. I started hurting myself at 11 years old. I lost all my books while being homeless. Finding your channel reminds me of my old self. I missed her.

[@lesafowers8142]

Totally love your channel. It still never tire of a country cottage! I love all my old things and I treasure my unique life and I also live in Utah. I am in Layton and I have all the books and movies you are talking about. So happy to find a lover of all things that love too. Blessed be
