self-growth diaries | my meetup in Taipei, hosting a recital, end of year reflections 🎵

[@chloeshih]

i truly just jampacked almost everything i did on leave into one video x_x!! tysm for watching my little slice of life. 2023 has been the best year of my life with you in it. i grew a lot creatively, professionally, but not vertically (lol). this video has a lot of firsts - hosting a meetup, doing a career talk in taiwan, hosting a recital, and hosting hotpot in the new house. idk if you can tell, but i do think this time of my life is quite pivotal. i'm going thru a lot of internal changes and who knows what 2024 might bring us! anyways, hope you enjoy the editing in this video. i think im starting to solidify my editing style!

[@kenichiishirahama215]

I can’t imagine having this many friends 😭 how are you not exhausted all the time.

[@chloeshih]

haha i'm actually quite introverted, but i love meeting creative people who are working on new projects. i think about it a lot when i'm at home alone! i also am def quite tired from the trip and want to just stay in for like 3 months lol

[@nasimrezaei3148]

it's so beautiful to see that you live your life to the fullest girl. That's why you are so inspiring to me. You put yourself out there, meet new people, and make connections, memories, and beautiful moments. I wish everyone dared to live life as free-spiritedly and positively as you do. Wishing more love and great things for you ♥

[@chloeshih]

aww thank you so much! this is such a kind and thoughtful comment. i try to share my life moments, and i'm really glad you're seeing the intention behind them! hope you're having a beautiful start to 2024!

[@heleenfokker5155]

I love how open you are about everything, for example what you talked about with your friends, and the before and after you the events etc. its really inspiring! ❤Also, I think you are so pretty and you have such a classy appearance 😍

[@annle986]

happy new year Chloe! I've been watching your vids for some time and I love your energy! It takes courage to be true to yourself and vulnerable and still choose not to become cynical or a hard-ass to appear more capable to fit in! Your energy inspires me to be kind and also be assertive, that there's a way in STEM/tech without compromising my feminine soft side. Thank you so much!

[@chloeshih]

hi annle! aw i'm glad you enjoy my vids~~ i love your takeaways!! i feel this very much whenever i'm in the corporate environment. i really like my feminine and silly sides a lot and don't love suppressing that when it comes to work. hope you're striking a good balance at work!!

[@zeanut]

It's a short part of the video, but I can empathize with how impactful that conversation with Tina must've been. Unlocking a new reality in your brain about what's possible and how the world works is always super mind blowing. Excited to see what you do next!

[@chloeshih]

i know!! it was so eye-opening! i think one of the coolest things about this experience is meeting people who live outside of the traditional 9-5 and how they were able to build their own life / business around the lifestyle they want to live. there's definitely a lot of hard work that goes behind it, but their lifestyles are just so different from my own reality. it's super neat to see it IRL!

[@chienchi821]

❤love the vibes of this video!!! and thank you for showing Taiwan food places and people to the world~ take good rest and hope you have a fascinating 2024!!

[@HeyItsDena]

Aww miss you already Chloe! Super happy I got to meet you❤your energy is absolutely inspiring!!

[@chloeshih]

omg dena!! it was SO LOVELY meeting you!! excited for all of your big launches this year!! 2024 is gonna be your year!!

[@RippedVans]

It's interesting to see what a wide demographic you have as a creator because I imagine it to be a more femme heavy demographic, but you have a pretty even split of people!! This was v cute. Glad you're doing well chloeeee!

[@trykarat]

OMG this is so cute ❤ and honored we got to share some of these memories together~~

[@chloeshih]

Im always very inspired by your videos ♥️ you motivate me to create the content I want to around my own Tech career in order to uplift my own culture (Middle Eastern/Lebanese) and the women and people striving to improve their lives there, especially right now with what’s going on in the world. ♥️ keep creating cause Im here for it!!!

[@chloeshih]

yass do it!! :D :D 2024 is your year!!!!

[@swatilekha_roy]

I forced myself to literally not watch this video today so that I could treat myself to it today as it’s my birthday and I always learn so much for you. Battling with so much burnout even though it’s only my second year of working full time has not been easy, and your content inspires me always to stand up for and be kind to myself, Chloe!! Thank you for your constant sunshine. ❤ I am putting this comment before watching the video and will respond again after I am done watching!! I also shared your videos with one of my friends as well as she is working for a PM role.

[@swatilekha_roy]

The video was exactly just as wholesome as I expected it to be!!!! Damn you were so productive even during your caretaker leave lol, I would probably just sleep if I had some time. But your videos do keep me going, so please keep them coming. Love you Chloe!!! And many many congratulations on your recital success!!! Everyone sang like angels. I am gonna go and watch your entire videos now!!!!

[@enidoi]

so jealous you got to go when it was cold. Was there in October and it was 90 degrees at night. Next time you find yourself in Da'an check out Chale's Tacos, enjoyed the whole menu.

[@chloeshih]

oh boy 90 degrees is quite hot!! and WHAT?! TACOS?! i've literally never heard of taipei having good tacos at all. also i'm from LA so i'm not sure if i would like tacos in taipei x_x

[@enidoi]

好喜欢你的视频！！！

[@Truth972]

Hii Chloe Great videos Please what are the important skills a pm needs to have? What are the resources someone needs when transitioning into the PM role? What are the courses to take? Someone said I can't be a PM if I don't have up to 5years experience building any product, is that correct?

[@NicoleByron]

[@chloeshih]

i know - yum!! taiwan has all my favorite foods

[@2kirakira4]

I wanna be you when I grow up 🥺

[@kriskris2384]

[@chelmellowee]

Can I know do you film mostly with your phone or camera? It’s so inconvenient to always film with the camera!

[@chloeshih]

yeah! so when i'm traveling, i film with my phone. if i'm at home or in a home, i use my camera. i just don't like bringing around a big camera in public haha.
