    I am SO happy your video randomly popped up on my home page. I love your filming style and your vulnerability in talking about mental health is so powerful. You are not alone in feeling low. When I’m in a funk, I try my best to be fully intentional, as much as I can in everything I do. You got this!! 💕

      Wow thank you so much Rosie 💜 comments like this truly mean so much to me! I agree with being more intentionally during times of uncertainty and that’s something I’m definitely trying to work on 🫶🏽

    I have diagnosed anxiety and depression and nature does so much for me, aside from my therapy and medication plan. Just getting some fresh air to unplug and read or take a walk helps me clear my head and re center. Glad it helps you as well, I hope you’re feeling better! And yes, I cannot do too much spice either. I’ve really enjoyed “slow burn” where you learn more about the characters, both separately and as a couple, before the spice starts.

    I've always liked all genres of books, even non fiction to me it's all about if a book is good or not..when people say they only like this type of book or they'll only read this kind of book I think ok you like what you like but I also feel sorry for them because they are missing out on so many great stories

    Nature always makes me feel better as well! Also yeah I have pretty similar book icks, I don't like when it's like 99% spice either I had to drop a few books because of that and they had potential but it made me lose the genuine feeling between the two characters because every thought of theirs were purely spicy and I want the characters to have more things they love them for than just their body

    You filmed in public and we are proud of you for that because you stepped out from your comfort zone in a day where you weren’t feeling yourself. The more you do a thing, the more it becomes comfortable and easier to do. When I need to get my shit together I always listen to the Wizard Liz or Mel Robbins. They don’t sugarcoat things and sometimes I need a reality check. As you evolve as a reader also your taste evolve but also your vocabulary and the way you talk. It’s not something that a lot of people notice but the way you express your opinions change a lot if you read a lot. Something I can’t stand when reading a book it’s when a scene is too descriptive. I like authors that with their words can make you imagine the scene but when there useless things that makes it everything boring and heavy it’s a big no for me.

    • @khalilahd.
      @khalilahd.  Рік тому +1

      Thank you Martina! I couldn’t agree more with you! I definitely feel more comfortable filming in public because of how frequently I have to these days.
      I’ve never heard of Wizard Liz or Mel Robbins but I like people who give me the hard truth so I’ll look into them!
      Also I agree with hating overly descriptive scenes in books. Sometimes less is more lol.
      As always thank you for taking the time to comment, I always look forward to seeing what you have to say 💜 hope you’re doing well!

    Nice vlog :) Walking in nature really helps me too. Reading books is also useful to de-stress so I'm trying to slowly start reading more books in French to combine my language learning with something else I enjoy doing. I aim to listen to the audio while reading to better connect speech to how it's written. When you discussed reinforcing your goals for this year I thought about looking at my progress for my reading goals this year and it's nice to reflect and see I've reached more of a balance for reading in my two main languages. Btw. I like seeing you move towards your goals while taking care of yourself, it's inspirational :)

    I want to be out in nature so bad but I'm pretty sure we're just skipping spring all together this year. It's SO cold. 🥶 I think I might go to the library tomorrow just to change up my surroundings. Leave my phone at home. Submerge myself in a book. I'm in a slump myself. I'm also starting a new medication for my depression and anxiety. 🤞 Hopefully that helps too.

    I have the same book ick. Another book ick I have is when the main character is selfish and not likable. Cough verity cough. If I hate the main character then I won't be able to enjoy their narrative. It just ruins the reading experience for me. They don't have to be perfect but they at least need to grow and/or get some consequences for their actions.

I guarantee you they gonna feel more weird than you do at that point lol. Just look at them like "omg hi" *strong eye contact* I think it would loosen you up cuz its funny and it flips the weirdness to them instead.
