Why I quit

The last time I've uploaded a good old classic doobyvlog was probably over half a year ago. It's weird because I kinda quit cold turkey sometime last year because... well I just couldn't do it. It felt like my whole body shut down into save battery mode to protect myself, and every time I tried to turn on the camera to talk a bit more about my life, I found myself freezing.
In a much better headspace, happy and surrounded by good friends and family. I'm super excited about vlogging this year and letting you all back into my life once again.
Some big announcements coming soon your way early this year, so please stay tuned.
Thank you once again to everyone that supported with doobymart launch, merch is available at doobymart.com
A list of products my mom uses is available on my Instagram reel description!

[@miguelangelhenrichdiez1852]

Yeap, i missed you too !

[@Cathie46]

My heart hurts for the times when you knew your family disapproved, but I watched the kimchi making video, and I hope that was a healing time. You are young, beautiful, in love, passionate and very driven. That is a lot for a family to understand. I hope you never change, other than normal changes as we age. This is coming from a grandma Doobie, who admires you greatly. So much so that I will attempt your ramen this year. It is my major goal. Time will fly by. Don't forget to breathe, just breathe

[@leslieweiser5455]

That was so beautifully said and filled with love 😊

Glad Kevin made it back safely and we’re just right in time to visit Mija Seoul, was so nice to finally meet him in person. Thank you so much Team Mija Seoul for the wonderful dining experience ❤❤❤ missed you Dooby!

[@audgechew5606]

So much has happened last year, and totally understandable. We support you whether you are vlogging or not

[@Abysxs2]

Love does not come from what we look at, it comes from what is inside. You fell for someone who wasn’t Korean. You didn’t fall for him because he’s not Korean, you fell for who he is. The cover does tell the whole story. You had the opportunity to understand him from the beginning to end. Who he showed himself to be was who you fell for. When we die we don’t take our bodies with us. Our souls are the only thing to pass on. So while the world looks at you for not falling for a Korean man. You can look at it as, you fell for the right man. The same man I will see again when we pass on. The same “soul” I will reunite with. I admire your love!

[@abigailfrancis9242]

Beautiful❤

[@miguelrecto5268]

So delicious

[@VicthorWard]

I can relate to this along with my family. My family is white american and my 4 brothers all fell in love with asian culture and are now married/dating an asian woman. I was the last one to follow the memo so I also decided to date an asian woman. Interracial couples between white man and asian female as been the most popular couples in the world and steady increasing each year. I think we just find each other the most compatible and are the definition of love. It truly is a miracle that we are in a time to be able to mix with people we couldn't thousands of years ago.

[@rdu239]

I think Dobbie's family and the locals hate the idea of her having a relationship with a foreigner, they think Doobie got "tainted" way too much while living in the West

[@For_when_im_gone]

As someone who has been recently estranged from his father (a lot of disrespect regarding boundaries and how to communicate) I’m glad you are able to work things out with your family, it gives me the tiniest bit of hope things will pan out but only time will tell. Best wishes for everyone this year, let’s enjoy it the best we can.

[@georgew8586]

This was sooooo good to watch and read the titles. Looks like you had an awesome Christmas with Kevin’s family and most importantly you and your mom (old sister) resolved your issues or at least are working through everything.

[@grapefruitmonster]

Dooby please we need an English list for your mom's morning skincare. Both of you're glowing 🤍🤍

[@Thiasjournal]

an old style classic dooby vlog was so much needed. This video was such an emotional rollercoaster, incredibly introspective on many topics, almost nostalgic in a way and oh god I died with the rue/roux caption like God really made you the queen of captions😭 I just can’t stop thinking about how much of an inspiration you are to me. 2023 was a year where all the work had to be done no matter what, resulting in stress and shitty situations, and tbh I also felt a bit like that. It was all preparatory, to set the base for what 2024 and the next years will be. You worked so hard and you deserve to rest, relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Oh and I might need a more in-depth video on some recipes you guys cooked on Christmas because woah I literally wanted to jump through the screen and catch that juicy duck lmao. Hope that aprons will be available soon because I can’t wait to buy one for myself and my little cooking hobby. Great video Tina ( as always hehe ) and keep it up, you have so much people that support you no matter what, me included

[@yasawa2646]

Manifesting that 2024 will be a great year for all of us Tina❤️I could see that you’re trying so hard to hold back tears😢it’s ok to cry it out and we love you🥰Stay strong🤩👊🏽

Wow you just took me on a journey with a happy ending! Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable, glad you were able to take some time for yourself to care for you. So happy to see that you and your parents are on great terms again, warms my heart 🥰 plus yay to Kevin gettin his visa renewed! Plus please share your daytime skin routine please! Love you!

[@collintan7858]

Being a single child in a tradition Korean family is tough, really tough. I feel for you. Stay strong. Great to see your Mom & Pop, again (warm fuzzy family feelings)

[@dionisiarastapiano]

As an international student i can confirm that visa is one of the most worrying thing😢

You always make my day. You crack me up every time, you are so cantagious and make me smile. Thank you🤗

As a Dominican American women, I understand your pain. I also have a family member who doesn’t approve of my relationship with someone who is not from the same race. It is tough but I wish you nothing but the best and keep moving forward!! I’m proud of you❤

[@missmilano2415]

Hopefully this will make you feel a little better! You are such an inspiration! Everything you and your team did last year is an absolutely mindblowing achievement. I almost gave up being vegeterian just to have dinner at Mija back in June of last year! Your latest merch is the most comfortable piece of clothing I have ever owned and I am regretting not getting five of the hoodies! Thank you for everything! ❤ Take good care of yourself and don’t strain yourself too much!

[@NaomiFrancisca]

Thank you for sharing this. I remember reading comments in past vlogs and thinking to myself 'wtf, how people can be so hateful and care so much about the relationship of someone that they haven't a connection with', but from my perspective as an latin american woman I reeaally understand the societal pressure to conform to certain values and aspirations. I am so happy for you and Kevin, and something that helped me a lot with letting go my worries about what other people think about me and my partners is a saying that goes something like: you aren't a coin made out of gold to suit everyone ok, and that's fine.

[@joannalai2606]

Girl, I hope you feel better and that 2024 is going to be a good year for you. Plus, congratulations on all your achievements!

[@MagicGreenSquid]

That was epic! Sorry to hear about the online grief (the haters can go in the bin), family conflict (it happens) and visa issues. Please never apologise for breaks between vlogs. For us Doobies, they are a privilege, not a right :-) Your foodie content is awesome. Seeing you so happy again after a tough time is awesome-er.

I found your channel recently at the end of last year and your passion for food and cooking was just so captivating and inspiring so I decided to subscribe and watch some of your popular videos and shorts.

Your channel gives me very good feeling, it's basically the new vlogging style from now on with delicious food. On the other hand, you made me happy to see your good showing❤️💖🍁💝

[@Waaltaee]

Love isn’t cultivated through flowers and gift giving, anyone can do that. Good strong love is cultivated through struggle and this is even scientifically backed, you are more likely to build a healthy and long lasting relationship through getting over tough hurdles and knowing you have a partner you can trust to get through difficult times. You and Kevin have that, you two are bonded and that’s tough to find when people nowadays run when the going gets tough.

[@MissG-yl6xj]

No one will ever love and have your best interest at heart then your family..... majority of the time when you go against your parents ..you will most likely fail in everything (love finances, etc).... i learned the hard way - i was hard headed and thought i knew better, differ generation, etc. Dont go against your family. If they disapprove there's a good reason

glad u took a break to understand urself and accept things as they are. change and indifference really is tough. you've been through tough things yet you still stand and i think that is the most important thing to acknowledge. its always important to prioritize your mental health as well. thank u for being so brave to still be able to share such intimate things with us, even if its mostly for yourself to look back on as well, but truly you have done so god damn well in the hard times. cheers to it all for making us who we are.

That's A LOT of work and that doesn't even take personal stuff into account. When you said you don't know why youre crying, I hope its partly joy/relief for feeling like youre on the other side of tough times but I also hope you're letting yourself still feel the tough stuff. I know I struggle a lot with letting myself sit with negative things and feel them through so if you still need to cry about it I hope you can and do
