SouthernASMR Sounds | "D R A W" My Life (Only Not Really) (200k Celebration!)

TRIGGER WARNING: I discuss anorexia in this video, and I do include pictures. Do NOT watch this video if that may be triggering for you.
*****
OK, first of all, I can't draw, which makes doing a "Draw My Life" video kinda challenging. I make up for it with lots of pictures and random scribbles and words on a dry erase board.
I didn't do this video "the right way," but then, I never do anything "the right way," so I don't know why this should surprise anyone.
There's not much drawing in this video. Just sit back and give it a listen.

Hey everyone! I apologize for not responding to the comments sooner. My 200k milestone happened during a VERY busy week for me! I do appreciate everyone's kind words! Thank you so much! :)

Congratulations on reaching your 200k milestone and thank you so much for all the relaxing vibes and wonderful tingles that you have given me over the years!

I actually really love the style of your Draw My Life better, as it’s nice to see the reality and the people behind the story! ❤️ I always loved Maria’s Draw My Life and her photos from Russia video, so fascinating! 😊

[@sarahburnett3162]

When she said she still lives with it to this day I got chills. This was very inspirational and I really liked your video. It’s unlike anything else you’ve done and it helps us understand who you are so thank you.

Wow Mary. My brother had a similar situation with his kidneys. They didn’t find his until he was 15 tho so by the time they repaired his valves there was already too much kidney damage. Hes currently on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant but he’s doing really well. So lucky they found it so early ❤️❤️❤️

[@MyVale13]

Best wishes and prayers for a successful transplant and happy long life to him. Thankfully medicine is always improving

[@elizabeth-fe1yw]

Aw thankyou. Yes it’s amazing what medicine can do. We’re so lucky he can have dialysis at home x

I totally remembered watching your first Draw My Life video and I’ve been a subscriber of yours since you only had 4K subscribers. Keep doing you and hope you reach 300K soon!

[@fionad8850]

I’m so happy for you! You definitely deserve 200k, I’ve never seen another youtuber (not even just asmr youtubers) that turns out as much actually good content like you do. Sending much love

Congratulations, Mary. I'm truly so happy for you! You relax me every single day without fail. While I'm sleeping, while I'm cleaning etc. Every day. And I'm so grateful for your videos. I'm currently experiencing a lot of stress due to one of my children being ill. It's currently being investigated and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good results. I listen to your videos to calm me when I feel I'm losing it at the moment and they always help. Thank you so much for all the work you put in to your videos. I don't think you'll ever fully know how much joy they bring to many people xxxx

[@sammibeining7563]

Prayers sent your way hun 💚😇

Thank you. Results in a couple of weeks and hoping it's something that can be easily sorted and we can stop worrying. Sorry did not mean to detract from the celebration video. Just wanted to say that I'm thankful for this wonderful channel and the calm it brings me 😊

Seeing the subscriber count at 199K one night and then 200K the next was exciting because you deserve it so much!

Thank you for so many great videos and for letting us into your life a little :)

[@elisetorgerson1784]

This was amazing to watch and listen to. All the pictures and all your stories really make the whole scene complete, and I don't mind the lack of "good drawing", I prefer your adorable stick figures. :) Listening to anyone else's Draw My Life video, I think I would tend to see it as a work of fiction, or find it very hard to recognize the realness behind it. But the way you put it was so magnificent (you even make struggle sound human and worthwhile) that I feel like I know you even better now, like throughout this video we were just sitting down having a conversation about life. It's truly an amazing thing and no surprise to me that you're a writer! :) Thank you so much for this beautiful story and for sharing it with us. We love you so so so much!!! ❤💕💖
