[@justmartine]

Tia I'm going to SCREAM the fork mic has me rolling 🤣

[@parnikajain3151]

something about you saying "I wish i could give my 21 year old self a hug" made me close to crying. like the pandemic fucked up so much for me personality wise and academic wise. since graduating Jan '22 i struggled w finding a job i wanted to do but since feb of '24 i finally am on a path i like.

[@tiachu]

!!!!!!!! it fucked up so much n robbed us of so many things but im so happy to hear you’re on a fulfilling career path and things are looking up :’) cheers

[@parnikajain3151]

@@tiachu thank you!

[@farrahwho]

obsessed with the animal crossing voices as censors on a serious note, i loved hearing about your reflections on what you’ve learned about yourself as you grow through your 20s especially as someone about to turn 25 in two months, glad you’re in a better place now 🫶

[@tiachu]

omg thank u sm for noticing im obsessed w the ac voices LMFAO

[@queen0fasgard]

TIA!! we love the fork mic hehe but omg thank you for being so honest & vulnerable. this truly felt like a facetime/chat ~ what you’ve felt is so relatable and it’s so satisfying to hear cause i truly felt so scrambled these last couple years. anyway i love these types of videos!! hope everyone has a great day!!

[@IJWalker]

i rarely comment and only found your channel recently (loved the ali hazelwood vlog!) but i just want to say how much i adore your content!! im 22 and recently graduated from college and resonated a lot with what you said near the beginning about introspection and kind of grieving the alternate self you might have been had mental illness not been a factor. i find myself a lot lately trying not to get trapped in thoughts that i wasted my college years being sick and sad. loved hearing your perspective on that

[@tiachu]

omg, thank you so much!!! im so happy you found and are liking my channel :'') firstly, congratulations on graduating college!!!!! im sorry you resonated with those sentiments but also its definitely comforting that others are feeling the same way sighhh. sending hugs ! PLUS, YOUR BOOK TASTE >>>>

[@jumboshrimp]

I’m on a commenting spree this week LOL but this video was SO REAL. I’ve been having a lot of similar reflections about academic validation, growing through the pandemic, and mourning my pre-pandemic self, but it is honestly so exciting to see who I’ve become having lived through such a turbulent time. I know we only see a very ✨smol✨ snippet of your life through these videos, but it seems like you’ve become someone your past self would be really proud of 🫶

[@tiachu]

:''')) cheers to our post-pandemic selves and how much we've grown in the last few years, thank you so this comment!!!!!!!!! (editing my reply rn, not that we're completely post-covid but u know what I mean lmao)

[@daliacarm]

im currently going into my junior year of undergrad and this summer has just been me rethinking my life choices as the end gets closer, your thoughts resonated with me so much and i loved hearing how you're doing much better now

[@tiachu]

I absolutely LOVE InkJoy pens. I discovered them a few years ago and that's the only ink pen I use now. Love that it comes in so many colors too. I prefer the .05 mm though. 😀

[@stuartgriffin1001]

Very courageous of you to open up about your mental health struggles. I'm glad you are getting more comfortable with yourself. Your openness may help others. I've bought several books you recommended. I have yet to read them. As I do, I will leave comments on your videos as to what I think of them. I added other books you recommended to my TBR

[@tiachu]

thanks so much stuart, your comments are always so kind and appreciated!!! : ))

[@Japanfan101endrance]

Really appreciate the vulnerability you have shown in the last few videos. I know the frontal lobe feeling but for me it was at 26 years old during the pandemic XD. I bought the book Mrs. Nash's Ashes because of your recommendation in your videos months ago. Look forward to reading it soon. Love your channel and thoughts, Tia!

Tia I remember coming home from graduation from undergrad and being so sad. I have always been a student and I loved school so much. it felt like a breakup that I didn't anticipate. I still love books, movies, and shows that are back to school and autumn/homecoming. it's almost the best time of year. happy Augtober

[@tiachu]
