I respect when creators just unapologetically do their own thing, even if that's not as marketable/beneficial to the algorithm, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be different for its own sake. Matthewmatosis and Every Frame a Painting are two channels off the top of my head that are/were fairly popular in their respective niches but they don't do the normal UA-cam thing of the obnoxious thumbnails or clickbaiting in their titles. They just make cool/interesting shit and I love that.
I, and many others, love and appreciate the space you've created. I'm always taken aback at how beautiful and authentic you are. Beauty standards, algorithms, visual stylings etc. are an unwelcome byproduct of a cultural society obsessed with dictating how everyone needs to be in order to have any value. * I don't buy it *. It's a slippery slope and can definitely lead to tremendous stress and unhappiness. You Fleur, are the only one who knows what your heart truly wants and who it is that you truly want to be. Stay connected with that inner voice - it speaks the truth.
I think when you really like someone, slight irregularities in a person's appearance can be very endearing. I think how people treat others is far more important than their outward appearance.
This! Because of this, addressing and making space for all these super important topics, your channel so quickly became one of my favourites! Keep up the good work, being unapologetically true to yourself as a creator and doing things differently is your niche! There’s more than enough audience for you and such content is needed and more valuable than you can imagine. ❤
I admire your views on beauty standards and your values. It's so refreshing to hear as so many people focus on changing themselves to fit into a mould that the media have created. Thank you for sharing your views xx
Hey girl, I just want to say that your videos are truly inspiring and that when I watch them it feels as though I’m hanging out with my bestie, love you ❤❤😊
Isso é bobagem. Sempre vai ter alguém legal que vai gostar de você, como você é 💙 venham visitar o Brasil 🇧🇷 existem regiões que não são as famosas como Rio de janeiro, Bahia mas são bem legais e mais calmas 😅
It was so insightful to hear your thoughts on beauty standards as a content creator, someone who's exposed to judgment much more than others. Thank you for this very thoughtful and interesting video ❤
I appreciate what you do for us and you are what is most important ALWAYS! When I get your alert, it's the highlight of my day, but no pressure 😉🙏...thank you for always taking care of us 💛
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your teeth Fleur. In fact I’d say you’re even remarkably attractive. Thanks for your vulnerability. It speaks to how incredibly special you are. Because you’re not alone. I’m not alone. We all share these little insecurities about ourselves. That’s just what makes all human.
I think being unique is beautiful. What makes us different from each other. What would Jewel be without her beautiful unique smile... I'm glad she never changed it
hi fleur, love your content and cozy talks so much ❤ when you talk about your feelings about romance and your past relationship, i relate to it so much. especially when you said you're kinda angry and sad about romance, because you're still processing what happened to you last year, i had a situation really close to yours in 2024 except that it was all online bc the person live in another country, but well that experience was all it took for me to be so disillusioned about love
My birthday is Feb 5th!!!!!!!!! Yay aquarians and happy early birthday. I'm almost 28 and from America. Beauty standards will probably never go away but I hope you remember that you are ALWAYS good enough and just like you said YOU ARE PERFECTLY FINE THE WAY YOU ARE (and also it's OK to change if that's what makes you feel good - like getting a new haircut because you love the way you look with it). I've learned throughout my life so far nothing is ever black and white - that's so incredible you're already seeing that two things can be true at once. You have a great outlook on our bodies being "a vessel that can do things." It's also something that can tell you where you want to go and who you want to be.. you just have to take the time to really listen and respect it ❤ Sitting with discomfort is important and hard. You have amazing insights and the most important thing to do when you consume media and live life as it is now is be mindful and intentional - just like you said! ❤ PS your videos are great, the book "we were liars" (in your background) is amazing, and your mom sounds great! Happy BDAY!
I think true desire comes from a complete acceptance of the other, since it's the details we are made of that configurate our singularity. So no one should change oneself to be desired, because what's gonna be desired is another.
Thinking about the teeth thing as functionality over form certainly helps remove a lesser opinion of ones appearance. If your teeth work and aren't in any pain or causing any disruption. They work, why care about how they look? Social media has an absolutely abhorrent effect on the human psyche and it terrifies me to dwell on what future generations may have to deals with. Regardless of the above, it's just genuinely nice to listen to someone talk about what they care about and have strong opinions on. Too often I find many are apathetic to the world around them and how its form may affect others. Thank you for the vid
Bro the teeth thing is so real. As an American, as a child, I wanted to be an actor, so my parents thought to fix the minor things wrong with my teeth with Invisalign and as a child it was forced, and now my enamel is completely fucked for the rest of my life and I refused to wear the retainers to rebel so either they stayed or not idk, idc, but the fact that it was literally for nothing since I barely act anymore. Plus like, Willem DaFoe has horrible teeth, and he’s amazing. Clearly no one actually gives a fuck!!!
Do not change your personal style and sense of authenticity. Most people that conform to the majority do it to get more, but in the end stop because they do not feel the connection anymore. There is an interesting viewpoint on it: By being yourself you can be more to less people. Doing opposite you can be less to more people. You can also become more to more people, but only if you retain your sense of self while building yourself up.
As someone from the US, I can say Dutch news very rarely makes it to our national broadcasts - it’s interesting that that’s not the case for US news in the Netherlands!! Also, the teeth thing is SO real!! My sister’s orthodontist wanted her to get jaw surgery to “fix” the appearance of her smile, even when there was no medical concern - she was around 13 at the time…. it’s all just the focus on aesthetics :((
I'm so glad I was able to transfer into the customer service department at my job (I work in a field where you gotta be hands on, machinery and stuff), so nice to chat to folks, be around people and not stare at a screen for 8 hours and then do it for 8 more at home. Also the only news from the netherlands I got over here in germany (that I can remember) in the last year was that your discount Trump Geert Wilders didn't become prime minister, thank god.
Hii, Graag wil ik je een tip geven wat voor mij erg goed werkt hang een kleine foto van jezelf toen je klein was rond een jaar of 5/6 op de spiegel en steeds op t moment als je in de spiegel kijkt en je je dan onzeker voelt of vind dat iets lelijk is kijk dan naar die foto van jezelf jaren terug en bedenk dan dat je t ook tegen haar heb want jullie zijn dezelfde persoon. Als ik dit doe voel ik me rot dat ik die dingen denk en lelijk vind want dat kleine meisje op die foto is perfect en die heeft niks nodig want zij is prachtig zoals ze is. en dat is iets wat voor mij erg goed gewerkt heeft❤️
Entendo muito bem inglês, mas não sei escrever tudo corretamente. Então vou escrever em português 😅 tu é uma mulher muito linda, teu sorriso é lindo e teus dentes são charmosos. Eu moro no Brasil e numa região onde tem muitas mulheres bonitas. Posso te afirmar que tu é linda 🫣💙 a grande maioria dos americanos são feios e muitos são obesos 😅😂

Fleur going ham on the production value is unexpected, but wholly appreciated :D

Hey girl, I just want to say that your videos are truly inspiring and that when I watch them it feels as though I’m hanging out with my bestie, love you ❤❤😊
the teeth thing is so real. mine are fine, but media has increasingly made me feel like they are very much not fine.
ITS THE WORST! they are fine!!!! periodt!!
