thank you for being so understanding, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster for me these last couple of months. just know, I might be going through some sh*t rn but I can’t wait to come out on the other side ❤️‍🔥

[@BethBelle3]

I just turned 30 and my life is no where near what I thought it would be. I’m single, no kids, a job I love but it’s not one to prepare for my future. Like you said I feel the most confident I’ve ever felt, but I also have those super sad days and feel like I’m not good enough. I do fine your vlogs so real and relaxing to watch, I love the cooking parts, and how honest you are.

[@sandylin]

aw thank you, i'm so glad you like the vlogs! yay for turning 30! even though the sad days are tough, i feel they're absolutely necessary to heal and grow, and to even teach what confidence/self love should look like.

Your vlogs are so peaceful to watch. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Never feel like you have to be “on” all the time. Mental health is so important. I felt that you were so down watching this vlog and then getting to the end and seeing your tears, I teared up myself. Doesn’t matter what age you are or what idea we’ve put in our head for what we should be doing/feeling. Life is just full of emotions and adventure and different pathways.. As someone who is also turning 31 this year, I feel the shift too in what I’m doing in life/not doing. It’s hard because there’s always a “well you have ___, compared to not having something at all” but it doesn’t mean we should invalidate our thoughts and feelings. We all are in the ocean, but some of us are in a boat or a yacht or a lifeboat ..who knows. don’t be hard on yourself 💛

[@sandylin]

ah thank you so much! i love that ocean analogy 🥺

[@ladynessarosee]

Hang in there ❤️❤️ can’t take the credit for ocean analogy. It bounces off a poem by Damien Barr about storms and boats and giving ourselves grace. He wrote it at the start of the pandemic. You should look it up . It’s so beautifully written.

I’m happy that you are receiving so many blessings now! I’ve been watching your vlogs for so long, but I never would want you to feel pressured to post. I think it’s easier to focus where your energy calls you to at the moment, and let yourself really bloom. You deserve all these great things and so much more; whether you are feeling light or feeling heavy, your feelings aren’t disconnecting you from us at all. We want to see you rest, heal, and prosper. Cause it reminds us of the fact that we have permission to do the same. Normally I don’t get how parasocial relationships should work the best, but I think lately it just feels nice to realize that I’m not alone. As I reached 25 in June, I got nervous that I was missing out on the best part of my 20’s. But honestly, I’m really happy with my life. I have my plushies lining my bed, a reliable and comfortable car, and so much ahead of me~ I think there’s happiness in every cell right now, but it’s okay if I acknowledge that there’s also a bit of something opposite that too

[@sandylin]

thank you Tawanza! i always love reading your comments! it makes me feel like i have the most understanding and supportive subscribers ever 🥺 you're definitely not alone and try not to worry about missing out (even tho I know it's hard), you have so much ahead of you!

[@itstawanza]

@@sandylin you’re ALWAYS so so welcome 🤗

[@r-evolve]

if I could only watch one person's vlogs, it'd be yours, no matter your upload schedule. it always feels like a treat and a blessing to get updates on your life. the way you described your mental health and growth is exactly how I've felt and hope to feel as I start nearing the end of my 20s. thank you for being you!!

[@sandylin]

aw thank you so much, this is so so sweet! ❤️

[@jessicachen2194]

Take all the time you need to validate your feelings...you are doing great hun! 🙌 Thank you for being honest about these growing pains! One day you will look back at these clips and be proud that you overcame this 😊

[@sandylin]

thank you Jessica, that means so much! I always hope no one watches my vlogs and feels down so I worry about sharing some of these low moments, but all these vlogs are diaries for me too and I can't wait to look back

[@yuyugo62]

Hey Sandy! It’s ok if you take some time without making videos, we can wait 🤗 Don’t try to force yourself to feel better and happy, maybe your “inner child” or your body is telling you something that you don’t understand right now. Im sure after giving yourself enough time to cry, to ask why, to talk about it and grieve you will start to feel better 😊 sending a big hug!!

[@sandylin]

thank you so so much!

[@isabelaaguilar7394]

Sandyyyy 🥺 your feelings are so valid, and I think you're doing everything you need to be doing in this moment. You have gone through so many life changing things in the last year (pandemic, aging, moving, personal growth) and all these feelings are a part of that! Nobody has their sh*t figured out and that's alright. You will find your footing and we will be here to support you through all of these challenges! Take all your time and remember we will always have your back ❤️❤️❤️

[@sandylin]

ahh thank you so so much Isabela, felt this in my heart ❤️

[@tiffanynn]

I always look forward to your uploads, and I am happy that things are looking up for you. You've been talking about what you've gone through, and I just want to give you a big hug because I can relate to your sentiments. Don't feel obligated to consistently upload when you're in a difficult place in life, I don't mind waiting. ♥

[@sandylin]

thank you so much Tiffany, your comments are always so nice and kind 🥺

[@viddz_5218]

if it helps i always find the more homey vlogs more appealing, im talking very mundane tasks like cooking, working, cleaning etc that way u can get the most out of everyday life and separate those moments where you want to be more mindful of THE moment idk

[@sandylin]

people always tell me they love home vlogs but i always wondered if they got too boring, so thanks for the suggestion Victoria!

[@vitaminme]

the green eye look looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there's a tutorial I will click that so quick

[@sandylin]

yay gonna film one soon! i think i'm gonna post it on IG!
