quarter-life crisis, fear of judgment, burnout & painting in the woods
Watercolor painting in nature while having some honest talk
After a long break, I’m finally back, and in this video, I’m opening up about my journey through a very challenging period of my life. I went through what I can only describe as a Quarter-Life Crisis - an intense time of questioning my path, feeling lost, and struggling with anxiety over the unknown. This phase made me confront some deep-seated fears, like my fear of stepping into a new chapter, my anxiety about leaving the safe bubble of university, and the overwhelming fear of judgment.
In this video, I’m having a heart-to-heart talk about all of it - what it was like to face these uncertainties, how I felt the urge to run from what I didn’t know, and how burnout and self-doubt pulled me away from the things I loved, including this channel. But in the midst of it all, I found moments of clarity and new perspectives that brought me back to what truly matters.
And since autumn in Germany is especially beautiful right now, I thought we could take this conversation outside and paint in the woods with watercolors in my sketchbook. Together, we’ll capture the season’s colors as I share more about rediscovering my love for art, creativity, and this community.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about your future, overwhelmed by expectations, or afraid to step into the unknown, I hope this video resonates with you. Thank you for your patience, support, and for being here. I’m truly grateful to be back with all of you. 💫
With lots of love
Maki 🥰🌸🎇🍇🌱🍒

    An old beautiful friend said to me one day way way out in the Australian Outback. "You are the gate keeper to your mind what you let in and what you let out is so important " Everything outside of yourself is insignificant. Another time we were back in the City and driving down the highway when a Car suddenly cut infront of me, I immediately reacted by cursing him with profanities, after a minute or so he looked at me an said." the world is full of those kind of people and if you think for one moment he is thinking of you or saying to himself, oh I just cut that poor guy off, I have news for you, he doesn't even know you exist, so why upset your day with all that anger, be happy that you have a good life. There are many other times when we discussed the World and finding peace in this life, but that's for another time. Just remember nothing will ever be able to love and know you better than yourself! The soul you were born with will be with you through this life and when you leave this life, it knows you better than you think. So stop looking outside for someone to love you, you already have it's love within. So that's where you need to start looking Makisa nothing outside is of any importance. Take care of that Gateway.

    Allerliebste Maki, ich habe es gestern leider nicht mehr geschafft, heute habe ich mir aber dein Video angeschaut und möchte dir ein ganz ganz großes Danke sagen! DANKE, dass du so offen über die letzten Monate gesprochen hast, DANKE dass du mit uns so offen deine Ängste und Gefühle teilst und vor allen: DANKE, dass du wieder da bist. Wie viele andere deiner Follower:innen hab auch ich dich vermisst. Du hast eine so unglaublich positive Ausstrahlung und du schaffst es, dass ein Tag einfach nur gut werden kann, wenn man dir z.B. in die Natur folgt und deinen Malprozess begleitet. Jeder von uns hat mal Zeiten, in dem nichts so läuft, wie man es sich vorstellt oder man Ängste und Sorgen hat. Doch wo Licht ist, da ist auch Schatten. Und diese Zeit macht uns stark! Und uns wird noch mehr bewusst, welches Leben wir führen, wofür wir dankbar sein können und was wir auch an uns selbst haben. Wir selbst sind nämlich unser größtes Geschenk. Du bist eine so starke Frau Maki! Und niemand sollte in dir das Gefühl auslösen, dich für irgendetwas zu schämen oder zu denken, dass du nicht gut genug bist. Für mich bist du eine sehr große Bereicherung. Ich hoffe, dass diese Monate dir am Ende gezeigt haben, wie wertvoll du bist. Und zum Schluss noch mein Mantra für dich: Das Glück ist in dir. Es ist bereits da. Du musst nur hinsehen. Ich schicke dir ganz viel Liebe und danke dir, für all deine Stunden, die du bereits mit uns geteilt hast und auch für die Kommenden. Alles alles Liebe Nicole

You did the right thing. Don't listen to that head chatter. We all have it Makisa, you're not alone. She's a little evil thing, that head chatter...lol..She will always try and trip you up. As soon as youn feel good about something, she likes to come along and ruin it and make you doubt yourself. She actually tries to convince you that you might be crazy. She does that to ALL OF US...lol..Don't listen to her and just kick her to the curb!! We love you and we're so happy that you've returned and sharing your beautiful art with us! 🙂

    Welcome back! Beautiful video and your words resonated with me because I was raised the same way (to always worry about what others think of me) and also had a quarter life crisis in my early thirties because I lost my creativity due to climbing the corporate ladder. Creativity is now a priority for me. Creativity is so important and I'm so glad you decided to share with us again!

    Hey there! Good to see you again. Our German forests are beautiful in the fall, well actually all year round. Growing up brings on a lot of anxiety, but you‘ll work through it. It comes and goes as time passes and we grow.

    Hello Maki! So happy to have you back.🥰 I still love your painting. You have no equal when it comes to making our European forests look wonderfully exotic. It feels like we're on the other side of the planet, I love it!😍 For my part, at the moment it's pen and chromatic inks intended for calligraphy. I then wet certain areas and let the magic happen: the pigments separate and the shades of color appear. It's the work of an Englishman, Doug Jackson (he has a YT channel) who made me want to try this and it's great fun.😅I send you lots of love😘

    Hi Makisa! Welcome back :) So happy to see your video again as your channel has crossed my mind a few times over the last few months. You are so authentic and relatable and that’s why I enjoy so much watching your content!! Can’t wait for more but also it’s so nice to hear that you took time off for yourself and a good example for those also struggling from a burn-out or a crisis, or even just life as it is right now :D

    I sure missed you!!! I spent a good part of your absence praying you were ok and wishing you a good life if you were, for whatever reason, not coming back. I watched and re watched your content until I couldn't find you anymore. I enjoy your experiences and your art so much. During this time I went through a life change I wasn't ready for when I lost my job in the summer. Everything felt wrong in my life, even taking time to draw... so I let art fall to the side as I tried to pull myself back up and find a way to survive. I felt defeated and lost. But I managed to pull through and overcame my fears. Then I realized I missed art because it is a big part of me. It brought me joy and healing. I needed to stop punishing myself for something I had no control of and I picked up my sketchbook again. Loving art brought life back into me and I'm so glad I didn't let that part of me die. Persevererance and reclaiming the joy in your life is a strength, not many embrace, but I'm so glad we did! I look forward to the beauty and love you bring. ❤ welcome back!!!

      my most kindest Araceli.. your words made me feel so much - but mostly deep gratitude that you showed up for yourself, the power you embraced within you and the courage you took on to not allow this very painful experience take away the joy of your life… I witness your courage and your loving self 🙏! I hope you feel a deep sense of proudness within you, for you did not let yourself down - even after what life did throw at you! You are so strong, so powerful, so resilient! I feel deep empathy for your situation and all the feelings that you must have felt.. To regain that strength to not let outside circumstances take away your deep joy for art and knowing that art is the way for you to feel better and more in peace is such deep insight that you must have gained for yourself! I want to thank you for sharing your personal story with me ❤️ I see you and I feel very deeply for you ❤️ I‘m so grateful that this big thing called the internet brought us together and I feel such deep gratitude for you and I enjoying each others company! Thank you for praying for me and giving me the space to come back to myself 🙏 you seem to me like a very kind, and loving human and I hope that you have people around you that see the beauty you bring into this world ❤️ I‘m giving you my warmest hug and sending you all my love, my kindest Araceli ❤️

    Hi Maki. So happy you are back 😊 I have missed your presence and art work. You do what you need to do to be happy and healthy. I am afraid all the time of working in my own private sketchbook because it will not be 12:24 "amazing". Am trying hard to get past that and focus on just the enjoyment of creating. Last year I decided I wanted to paint my own gift tags for gifts this Christmas. I failed, too scared to try. Just last night I got brave enough to start and while most are not too great, I painted a few pretty nice pine trees. 😂 I'm going to do more today. I'm very insecure and recovering still from childhood abuse so it's slow going, but I'm going to learn to like myself and have confidence in myself. Thanks for sharing your honest feelings and beautiful art. I missed you. 😊

      Oh my kindest Susan, your words made me feel sooo deeply! All the feelings and thoughts you described resonate powerfully with me - mostly being afraid to create because we feel too small about ourselves .. I see you and I witness your powerful presence for yourself! You showing up for yourself, trying to minimize that inner voice that makes us feel small, and trying it over snd over again - THAT IS what love is! You doing all that for yourself, is what heals your inner child! For YOU are finally the person that you inner child always needed: someone that embraces them just as they are and telling them „It ok - each step at a time - what you are capable of today is perfectly good“ - Susan, I hope you feel sooooo proud of yourself! It takes so much healing and effort and power to LOVE oneself and you do it anyways! I feel sooo deeply happy that you create your own creative projects - you keeping your own word to yourself and creating for yourself is so beautiful 🙏❤️ I witness you strength and effort to heal - the small, young Susan within you is so deeply grateful to have YOU in her life 🙏❤️ Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your intimate thoughts and feelings ❤️ I embrace you with my warm hug, my kindest Susan ❤️🌱🪷
