I love you so much, I'm your fan but I have to study! Aw, I still smoke and I have DDA but I be more better watching your videos of ASMR and I love everything you do. I had a badly divorce and I was alone and depressed but I'm okay now. I love you so so much! ( No Hate ) 😔👍
Spot on Maria about the analytics and who is watching kids on YT and the internet. This is something that more ppl should speak about.... very scary!!! You are so bright and caring... have enjoyed listening to you for years.. ty!
I’m so sorry that it has to come to taking the videos down. That sh*t make me so mad! It’s crazy how these creeps find ways to violate your space... thank you for the time they were up! Appreciated the laughter and joy you all had and shared with us ❣️
As a mother I absolutely loved your family vlogs and miss them a lot. It so sad you had to remove them. I 100% respect and understand your decision though it’s sad there are those kind of people in the world.
Oh my goodness! The part about the family Vlogs 😱 I catch your drift and omg I didn't even think about the creeps out there 😡 protect yourself and your family, mama! We love the Vlogs but your safety and comfort is most important! **virtual hugggsss**
@@miarose8239 I can't speak to the specific things she's observed necessarily, but suffice it to say there are creeps/dangerous people out there, especially when videos include small children 😡
This might sound weird but I mean it as the biggest compliment ever: I realised watching this video that Maria has the same kind of grace and compassion as Princess Diana. So valuable and rare!
When she said "things scare me" that's a red flag on whose been watching them, and for how long. Being proactive in protecting your family especially as a UA-cam star, and a social media mogul, is a must. You truly are the ASMR queen. Be safe, be blessed.
lollllll I have literally never wanted to sky dive but.....as someone who wears contacts and glasses this has convinced me I definitely never want to 😂
I swear I gain 20 IQ points every time I watch one of your sit-down-and-chat/ reflection videos! I love the way your mind works, and how well you're able to articulate your thoughts. You've been so open throughout the years about having had a difficult time in school, but as someone who always found school to be very easy and thought grades = intelligence for a long time, I just have to say... I LOVE how you think, and you have added so much value to my life by sharing your insight with us over the years ❤️I'm 27 now, but started watching your videos when I was 19, and I truly believe you've helped change the way I think for the better. THAT cannot be taught in school 😉and I appreciate you so much.
Maria, I fully respect the decision to take down the family videos. I 1,000,000,000% support your decision, you need to protect your daughter at all costs. You are a good mom, you love little Mila, and I totally get it. We all understand.
When you answered Christina’s question it felt so genuine, human, and empathetic. It felt real and although I’ve never been through something like that your kindness shines bright
You're wise woman. I think your honesty, especially considering motherhood, anxiety etc. can help many people. Your ASMR helps a lot, obiously, but you just being yourself, with your struggles is everything. You're great. Thank you for both of your channels. Greetings from Warsaw!
I've always struggled with accepting love from anyone, like it's not something natural for me, but the way this woman approaches every question so dearly and genuinely feels for each person makes me feel so safe and warm inside
I think the way you guys are raising Mila is wonderful - you clearly think about her and consider the best ways for her to develop and achieve her fullest potential, and that takes time and selflessness. Not all parents/adults are so dedicated and rather ask the children to accommodate to all their norms/attitudes. I remember you explainin long time ago how you let Mila help you prepare the meals even though it would take longer and things would be messier, but it would give her a sense of pride and importance, and she would be more eager to eat as well :) You should be proud!
14:00 wow I’m so sorry to hear that. I think about the family channels that do full time vlogs and it really is scary. It’s important that we protect our children.
It has been such a gift to get to know you over the past 9 or 10 years! I cannot believe it has been that long. You have brought so much peace to so many lives, and I appreciate you for all that you are. I feel like we are so similar. It would be awesome to meet you someday! Love you, Maria!
You definitely are the big sister to the ASMR community!! It’s so cool to think you really started something that almost the entire WORLD has adopted. Simply amazing
you’re the first asmrtist i discovered like 6 years ago and you always help me recenter, calm down, rest, and enjoy the little things in life. sending you ALL THE LOVE 💗💗💗💗
It absolutely amazes me how beautiful your soul is. Every time. Sometimes I cry a little just because your kindness is so beautiful. Masha, you deserve only the best things in life and I wish you to have them all. Thank you.
I think you should protect your family at all costs. The internet is a scary place so if it makes you feel safer not to share your family vlogs, don't do it. We support you either way!
I first discovered you when my almost 7 year old was a little baby. I was feeling every way but normal, my narcolepsy symptoms started to become unmanageable, and you helped me through that rough time. Now my son crawls in to bed with me when he has a hard time sleeping and asks if we can listen to the blonde lady who whispers. I truly think he listened to you so much as a baby that you are his comfort now. It’s just subconscious for him. So now we plan “sleepovers” when Dad is on nights. We set up the pillows comfy in my bed and we prop up the phone and he picks one of your videos. I love when he says “this part makes my forehead feel mushy.” He gets the tingles just like me and it’s wonderful to see life come full circle for us, and you have a major part in that!
I saw a cooment under one of your family vlogs warning you about putting your daughter in front of the camera in a diaper, and I thought, wow, people always have something to complain, its just a child! But it pains me, that you have seen that your videos have been abused, which I suppose is what you meant to say.. I am horrified and can not begin to imagine how that feels for you as parents.
My eyes got teary when I heard the family vlogs. I’m A new mom of twins and that just mortified me. Can definitely relate to when people say they go into “mama bear mode” and wanting to protect their kids. So sorry that’s even an issue. Sending hugs. Xoxo
Motherhood was the biggest challenge for me. I'm in love with my daughter who is almost 2, but wow, it was a huge struggle in the beginning. A support system is the biggest thing that can help. 💜
Jesus, postpartum depression is SO real. I am not a mom but have witnessed all my friends suffer and I will forever be there to empathize and support them through it ALL because I can not imagine my body doing ANY of that.
Omg Maria talking about how happy she was to get divorced reminds me of those photos of Nicole Kidman smiling with her arms spread out in the sun after she divorced Tom Cruise 😆
Every time I hear someone is getting divorced or is divorced recently I congratulate them! I'm sure some look at me weird but normally its not a good situation they were in anyway
Please make more videos like this! I’ve been neglecting cleaning my apartment for two months but today I put this video on while I got to work!!! I’ve done so much cleaning so far. Thank you 🥰
Maria, the connection you have through the camera is one of the strongest connections I have ever seen from a UA-camr. It literally feels like I'm just catching up with a good friend! You are such a beautiful soul ❤️
It makes me really sad that you felt the need to delete your family blogs because of others. I totally support you in making the decision to protect your family, I also admire you taking a drastic step to keep you and your family safe, I’m sure deleting those was hard. It sucks that we live in a world where this is even an issue...I hope things are well! I’ve watched you for almost ten years. Lots of love. ♥️
I love her sweet personality also when she makes her ""sassy answer or sassy talks"" I love her realness. This woman is an inspiration😍 I'm so thankful she chose to give us a tiny bit of her life to us with her asmr channel and with on this channel
Maria...it has been an honor to have seen you grow on your channel and as a person all these years. I remember those tough times during some of your early vlogs about your divorce/ex and to know you are soo much happier and you look and feel it too, it just makes me so happy for you. Literally you are glowing and your genuine personality is infectious to watch. Thank you for being a positive light in the Asmr community. You are loved. ❤️❤️❤️
Maria, you have this incredible gift of making people feel like you're looking at them right in the eye over coffee and truly listening, feeling, and empathizing with them. Thank you for that, I love you and all of your content!
For Cristina who asked when she would start feeling like herself again after giving birth… Maria you gave beautiful, amazing advice! You hit the nail on the head. It is a new season of life and it’s weird to be so different and happy about it but also mourning the freedom of your past
As a fellow mum to a 2 year old it calms me to know that all mums have the same struggles with emotions... never alone! I literally love your life tips and thought processes in difficult times... thank you for these videos! ❤️
Wow. Everytime I see one of these where you share your perspectives on things, am struck by how wise and intelligent you are... I say both because I think of wisdom as more of a spiritual or insightful quality, and intelligence as more applied knowledge one has sought and acquired proactively. So as for the wisdom aspect, I guess it feels like you’re an old soul as they say. Like it’s so layered as to give the feeling that it’s from many lifetimes of experience, and I love that you use it so effectively in your desire to be supportive of others - while remaining very forthright and realistic in that support. It’s very touching and liberating for people I think... At least that’s how I perceive it. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your viewers.
I just adore you, Maria. I will definitely not wear my glasses if I should go sky diving.😉 Your genuine concern and loving sincerity towards us touches my heart so deeply. You are such a special lady. Love ya💜💜
I love how you can talk about difficult things while staying so grounded. This video brought me comfort and I really think of you as my friend. It’s so nice to see you being so happy at this time in your life. Alice
i loveeeed part 1 and 2, i think you should do more in the future. you’re such an amazing person and you can really see how genuine and sweet you are. I see you as like another mother but also a big sister at the same time. Love you and all your videos Maria!❤️
Hi Maria!! I asked the favorite meal question!!! I tried your spaghetti squash recipe years ago and that has been one of my favorites (no one else likes squash in my house so I make both halves for me lol) I love these videos, it’s so nice to hear from you in a relaxed “off the cuff” way!
2 VIDEOS?!?! Well aren’t we all just so spoiled! Thank you Maria! The other night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
Maria, you just have such beautiful insight!! I'd love if you did these videos often! They're like big-sister-sassy-Masha and they're amazing!! Thank you for sowing into our lives 💛
I remember the one time you did a livestream and greeted me by telling me you recognized my "beautiful" eyes from many years in your comments. I felt like such a fangirl! lol It makes me so angry that you were made to feel unsafe about your family. Thank you for being you, Masha!
That whole segment leading to @12:50.. thank you! I will try to apply that cause like you said I too can be an A hole to the people around me. Thank you. ♥️
That question from Christina, I’m right there with you. Maria, you answered the question so well. Becoming a mother/parent is brutal and beautiful. It is so hard, no getting around that. You’re going to be okay (speaking to myself here too). Bless you, sis. Love you, Maria! ♥️♥️♥️
I think that's one of the best things I've heard anyone teach their child, especially good for a daughter and it's adorable - Mila calling out 'adventures!' in russian - she is a lucky, lucky girl. I'm going to adopt it too, in russian as it sounds more adventurous :D
Since having my son especially him crawling and walking I have no issues falling asleep like I did before lol Because before having my son, I would watch your Asmr videos every night for the past 2 years. But now that I get tired running after my son and I fall asleep so fast because of exhaustion. I truly enjoy watching your second channel of just you being you. I just love it. Now I watch your asmr videos when I cook or have some free time. But watching you being you brings a smile to my face. Especially seeing you be a mother, your daughter mila is insanely adorable. Love you Mari!
So sad and enraging about having to take your family videos down. It was a joy to see all the adventures you had when your parents came to visit, and beautiful to see Mila explore the world. My favorite was the one where she sorted eggs at the end, real mother-daughter stuff and I marveled at her hand-eye coordination. A shame that it's not safe to share happiness with the world at large, when you set such a good example of what family life could be. But I get it and support you in it, and feel privileged to have been able to see them when they were up.
You talking about magic and adventure reminded me of whispers of the heart, a ghibli movie, that made me travel back to my childhood and when I saw magic in every corner! Is so important to have that in life! Especially for children but for adults to! Thank you for that! ❤️🥰
it's so comforting to hear how you speak about early motherhood. as a deeply emotional and sensitive person, I'm very nervous/afraid of having kids and how that will absolutely mess with my head/emotions, and I feel like I never hear anyone discuss that so I just deduce that parenthood is not for me or is just going to be inordinately hard for me. hearing you speak of it this way is so real and not sugar coated and when I do decide to have kids, I know I will never forget your words
I’ve started watching these videos, even ones I’ve watched before, when getting ready for work to ground me and soothe any anxiety, and I laugh and cry with you. I appreciate your videos so much!
Thank you for your honest, integrity, and respect Maria!!!!!! Ever since I found you I fell madly in love with ASMR. Of course, you being the source of this love. Your demeanor and calmness, your voice and magical hand gestures. I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it! I value your challenges and struggles because that’s what made you who you are today. You have made a life that is perfect because of these imperfections and you share this with us. We are so blessed! I want to see more of the family, but I too am familiar with man’s depravity and you need to put your family’s safety first. Always. I will 100% support you, and I hope one day to run into you and maybe have a chat. Or a glass of wine 🤪 I think that would make my life 😍 you are kind, generous, talented, and obviously special. If the creator of the world or higher power could do one more thing right, it would make another you! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Masha. Have a superb day xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for being honest and validating that it’s ok to not always LOVE or enjoy parenthood. I think a lot of people find it so taboo when parents talk about wanting a break or not always wanting to be around their children. Parenthood is so hard, but very rewarding as you mentioned. Mama of 3 boys here and I miss me sometimes!
Just to add to what you were saying to Christina, this is so true. Motherhood is a wallop in the face and it can feel so overwhelming. But then as your kids get older, all those expectations you had of the FUNNESS and JOY of having kids, happens! When you're through the tricky toddler stages and the relentlessness of parenting small kids... age 6-7 plus kids are brilliant! I mean, you obviously will feel this before 6-7 years! But as they get older and more independent the balance between it being hard work and fun/amazing tips way more in favour of fun and amazing. We are sold a lie that motherhood is fulfulling and joyous as if there are no other sides to it. This needs to stop. Motherhood is beautiful and amazing but it's really, really hard and will challenge you to your core. Xxx
I think your advice about finding your path career-wise is excellent. Growing up, I was extremely poor. I lived in a very small town with no opportunities, and even though I had a loving mother, there was a lot of abuse from other sources in my life. All I wanted was to get out. I got excellent grades and moved away at 18 to go to university. But unfortunately, I lost myself along the way. All I could think about up until that point was surviving; I never stopped to think about what I would do afterwards. To this day, I still struggle with the question "what do you want out of life?" and I just turned 30. But narrowing down what I DON'T want has helped a lot. I don't want to go back to living in poverty. I don't want to work at a job that will take advantage of me. I don't want to sacrifice my creativity if I can help it. I'm certainly not working at my dream job, and I feel like I have a lot of growing left to do, but whenever I'm stuck thinking "what do I want?", I'm becoming more comfortable not knowing the exact answer. Also, it was so heartwarming to hear about how happy you were when you finally took the step to get divorced from your ex. I totally understand not wanting to badmouth an ex partner, but I remember watching your videos during that time and I think we all noticed an immediate change when you became single. It's good for people to hear stories like this, and go realize that breaking up with someone or separating from a spouse isn't a failure, and it isn't the end of the world. That it can actually be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in your life.
It’s amazing to see all this wisdom you’ve acquired these past few years. As someone who’s just entering adulthood, it’s really nice to hear your assuring words and advice. Hugs 🤗💕
Maria, you have such a great way with words. I have found lately that it is more exhausting to be angry and have other negatives emotions than to just let it go. Especially if it's something that is small and insignificant. You are right about your emotions influencing other people's emotions. And it's just a big domino effect. And I'm tired of being tired, so I just am slowly learning to let the little things go. At least things I can't control. I feel more calm and content that way. It doesnt always work, and it is okay to have a bad day or feel negative emotions cause it's natural and we're human of course. But to feel it for a brief moment, and then letting it go, is so freeing. As they say, it is what it is. Xoxo Thank you for your wisdom. ❤
I really appreciate you so so much.I feel in the way you talk that you want to show other people that have anxiety, fears etc. that you have too and is perfectly normal and this makes us humans..and the parts where you speak about motherhood and life with a toddler..as a mother of a suuuper energic toddler of 2 years and 4 months I soooo feel the exactly same way about everyting you said...I really wish you all the best, because you can see it in the way you talk that you have such a beautiful mind, and it feels like you are also very fragile...Hoping someday to have a friend like you.
As a new mom with not many friends, I have been struggling with severe post partum depression. It's so refreshing to hear that other woman have a hard time too and understand! You said everything so perfectly. It is definitely scary knowing your life will never be the same.
Wow Maria - I am so sorry to see you take the v blogs down but I completely understand it. We live in a scary world and you must protect your daughter at all costs. Thank you for all you do do for us!
There's many reasons I love your videos but the respect you have for yourself and others is one of the main reasons! You show respect in many ways but I feel like so many asmrtists have let their videos get sleezy and sloppy. Trying so hard to be provocative. But you have kept it respectful to all people and beliefs.
Good job! Love you girlfriend! I've watched you from the beginning and I appreciate how down to earth you are and how relatable I feel with you thank-you Maria!!!
I love you! I’ve been watching you for about 8 years now, you were my first asmrtist discovery and you are the best. Wish we could meet someday! Thanks for all you do 🥰
You were the first asmrtist for me. Watching your towel folding video many years ago made me realize I wasn’t alone. I’ve always experienced tingles when certain people would speak or whisper and I couldn’t pinpoint why or what that feeling was. Spasibo for everything you do. 😌
I both love and appreciate how honest, open, and vulnerable you made yourself for these Q&A videos. You've been a big part of our lives for so long, and yet it still seems like we're always learning something new about you. Thank you for always being a constant in my life, and for just being you.
Even your normal voice is so relaxing and calming! This video just feels like sitting on the couch with your friend and catching up after a long time apart
Thank you again for all these questions! Honestly some of these helped me clear my head and give myself answers as I was speaking, so thank you for this reflecting opportunity! :) Hugs

I totally understand with the family videos, MANY people have said the same thing. Creeps. Anywho- I hope you still take videos for yourselves!
I’m so sorry that it has to come to taking the videos down. That sh*t make me so mad! It’s crazy how these creeps find ways to violate your space... thank you for the time they were up! Appreciated the laughter and joy you all had and shared with us ❣️
Made me sick to my stomach at the thought. Humans can be so vile
I agree 100% Emma Evolve!
Well said. As she was talking about that, I felt my hackles go up. Just pure primordial mom-rage.
I completely agree nothing is sacred anymore or respected makes me sick that there are people out there who are so gross
agreed. I never knew the analytics went that in depth!
Maria your advice and genuine empathy for that woman who asked about how long it takes to get back to normal after having a baby was PERFECT.
Agreed 100% ❤️
Yes! So perfectly put. The new season of life really got me.
I FELT it 🥰
I was thinking the exact same thing, I welled up at that part for sure
I cried

But it pains me, that you have seen that your videos have been abused, which I suppose is what you meant to say.. I am horrified and can not begin to imagine how that feels for you as parents.
what happened?
@@User-kz7ly2nb5b i hate humanity
My eyes got teary when I heard the family vlogs. I’m A new mom of twins and that just mortified me. Can definitely relate to when people say they go into “mama bear mode” and wanting to protect their kids. So sorry that’s even an issue. Sending hugs. Xoxo
Motherhood was the biggest challenge for me. I'm in love with my daughter who is almost 2, but wow, it was a huge struggle in the beginning. A support system is the biggest thing that can help. 💜
i love your comment sections, you’ve created such a positive and supportive little corner of the internet
OMG PART TWO 2 DAYS LATER?! 🥳 This momma is ready for baby’s nap time lmfao
Jesus, postpartum depression is SO real. I am not a mom but have witnessed all my friends suffer and I will forever be there to empathize and support them through it ALL because I can not imagine my body doing ANY of that.
Omg Maria talking about how happy she was to get divorced reminds me of those photos of Nicole Kidman smiling with her arms spread out in the sun after she divorced Tom Cruise 😆
Every time I hear someone is getting divorced or is divorced recently I congratulate them! I'm sure some look at me weird but normally its not a good situation they were in anyway
they were married?
@@opeth7021 Yes they were! The 90s were an interesting decade lol
@@mariesabine2385 i wish i was a 90's kid haha
I was thinking of those same photos!
Please make more videos like this! I’ve been neglecting cleaning my apartment for two months but today I put this video on while I got to work!!! I’ve done so much cleaning so far. Thank you 🥰
Maria, the connection you have through the camera is one of the strongest connections I have ever seen from a UA-camr. It literally feels like I'm just catching up with a good friend! You are such a beautiful soul ❤️
It makes me really sad that you felt the need to delete your family blogs because of others. I totally support you in making the decision to protect your family, I also admire you taking a drastic step to keep you and your family safe, I’m sure deleting those was hard. It sucks that we live in a world where this is even an issue...I hope things are well! I’ve watched you for almost ten years. Lots of love. ♥️
I love her sweet personality also when she makes her ""sassy answer or sassy talks"" I love her realness. This woman is an inspiration😍
I'm so thankful she chose to give us a tiny bit of her life to us with her asmr channel and with on this channel
ASMR has been such an integral part of my mental health, especially in the pandemic. Thank you so much for all you do! :)
I LOVE these videos. They still have triggers even though it’s not specifically an ASMR video! You’re my fave ASMRtist! Keep up the great work!!!
two sasha masha vids in a few days, I’m living my best life
Maria...it has been an honor to have seen you grow on your channel and as a person all these years. I remember those tough times during some of your early vlogs about your divorce/ex and to know you are soo much happier and you look and feel it too, it just makes me so happy for you. Literally you are glowing and your genuine personality is infectious to watch. Thank you for being a positive light in the Asmr community. You are loved. ❤️❤️❤️
Maria, you have this incredible gift of making people feel like you're looking at them right in the eye over coffee and truly listening, feeling, and empathizing with them. Thank you for that, I love you and all of your content!
Thank you I love you, and your videos!!! You make me feel calm and peaceful
For Cristina who asked when she would start feeling like herself again after giving birth… Maria you gave beautiful, amazing advice! You hit the nail on the head. It is a new season of life and it’s weird to be so different and happy about it but also mourning the freedom of your past
As a mother, I know exactly what you meant by the family vlog things. I do miss seeing little Mila do things though! She is so cute and so smart ❤️
I love how these Q&A videos feel like a friendly conversation! 🥰
As a fellow mum to a 2 year old it calms me to know that all mums have the same struggles with emotions... never alone! I literally love your life tips and thought processes in difficult times... thank you for these videos! ❤️
Wow. Everytime I see one of these where you share your perspectives on things, am struck by how wise and intelligent you are... I say both because I think of wisdom as more of a spiritual or insightful quality, and intelligence as more applied knowledge one has sought and acquired proactively. So as for the wisdom aspect, I guess it feels like you’re an old soul as they say. Like it’s so layered as to give the feeling that it’s from many lifetimes of experience, and I love that you use it so effectively in your desire to be supportive of others - while remaining very forthright and realistic in that support. It’s very touching and liberating for people I think... At least that’s how I perceive it. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your viewers.
I just adore you, Maria. I will definitely not wear my glasses if I should go sky diving.😉 Your genuine concern and loving sincerity towards us touches my heart so deeply. You are such a special lady. Love ya💜💜
Ugh I truly love these sit down chatty videos. It’s still so relaxing to watch. Maria your such a light 🤗🍀🤎
Maria, I can feel your empathy and love through the screen 💕✨ thank you for this
I love how you can talk about difficult things while staying so grounded. This video brought me comfort and I really think of you as my friend. It’s so nice to see you being so happy at this time in your life. Alice
ur so comforting it’s unreal. u might as well be my second mom💖
i loveeeed part 1 and 2, i think you should do more in the future. you’re such an amazing person and you can really see how genuine and sweet you are. I see you as like another mother but also a big sister at the same time. Love you and all your videos Maria!❤️
You helped me through my bachelor and now I'm writing the Master thesis listening to your videos. Love you
Hi Maria!! I asked the favorite meal question!!! I tried your spaghetti squash recipe years ago and that has been one of my favorites (no one else likes squash in my house so I make both halves for me lol) I love these videos, it’s so nice to hear from you in a relaxed “off the cuff” way!
Ha! I started reading this right as Masha gave your question. How weird! lol
Your regular speaking voice is so relaxing.
2 VIDEOS?!?! Well aren’t we all just so spoiled! Thank you Maria! The other night I thought about how I would to watch a Q&A video from Maria, either on her Gentle Whispering channel or here on Sassy Masha. I am so happy!!!😂Thank you Maria! You are so so appreciated and I adore you.💕I have learned so much from you over the years, I am the oldest of three girls so I see you as a big sister.💕I have been watching for at least 9 years now. I am so grateful to have you and your videos in my life. Thank you for everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!❤️
Maria, you just have such beautiful insight!! I'd love if you did these videos often! They're like big-sister-sassy-Masha and they're amazing!! Thank you for sowing into our lives 💛
You are so real and wise, I really loved your answers and you're just such a wonderful human😊 💞
Honesty, integrity, empathy this lady has it all
Maria, thank u so much for granting me relaxation for the past 7 years! I look forward to your videos more than anyone!
I remember the one time you did a livestream and greeted me by telling me you recognized my "beautiful" eyes from many years in your comments. I felt like such a fangirl! lol
It makes me so angry that you were made to feel unsafe about your family.
Thank you for being you, Masha!
I cant stop laughing about the eyediving!! I also like wine in the morning ;-)) Been with you 8 years now; You really are like the sister I never had
That whole segment leading to @12:50.. thank you! I will try to apply that cause like you said I too can be an A hole to the people around me. Thank you. ♥️
That’s a great and humble attitude. ❤️ Very rare to see that on here.
@@MyNameisMessenger 🤗 🤗
That question from Christina, I’m right there with you. Maria, you answered the question so well. Becoming a mother/parent is brutal and beautiful. It is so hard, no getting around that. You’re going to be okay (speaking to myself here too). Bless you, sis. Love you, Maria! ♥️♥️♥️
I think that's one of the best things I've heard anyone teach their child, especially good for a daughter and it's adorable - Mila calling out 'adventures!' in russian - she is a lucky, lucky girl. I'm going to adopt it too, in russian as it sounds more adventurous :D
Since having my son especially him crawling and walking I have no issues falling asleep like I did before lol
Because before having my son, I would watch your Asmr videos every night for the past 2 years.
But now that I get tired running after my son and I fall asleep so fast because of exhaustion. I truly enjoy watching your second channel of just you being you. I just love it. Now I watch your asmr videos when I cook or have some free time. But watching you being you brings a smile to my face. Especially seeing you be a mother, your daughter mila is insanely adorable. Love you Mari!
So sad and enraging about having to take your family videos down. It was a joy to see all the adventures you had when your parents came to visit, and beautiful to see Mila explore the world. My favorite was the one where she sorted eggs at the end, real mother-daughter stuff and I marveled at her hand-eye coordination. A shame that it's not safe to share happiness with the world at large, when you set such a good example of what family life could be. But I get it and support you in it, and feel privileged to have been able to see them when they were up.
You talking about magic and adventure reminded me of whispers of the heart, a ghibli movie, that made me travel back to my childhood and when I saw magic in every corner! Is so important to have that in life! Especially for children but for adults to! Thank you for that! ❤️🥰
it's so comforting to hear how you speak about early motherhood. as a deeply emotional and sensitive person, I'm very nervous/afraid of having kids and how that will absolutely mess with my head/emotions, and I feel like I never hear anyone discuss that so I just deduce that parenthood is not for me or is just going to be inordinately hard for me. hearing you speak of it this way is so real and not sugar coated and when I do decide to have kids, I know I will never forget your words
I’ve started watching these videos, even ones I’ve watched before, when getting ready for work to ground me and soothe any anxiety, and I laugh and cry with you. I appreciate your videos so much!
Thank you for your honest, integrity, and respect Maria!!!!!! Ever since I found you I fell madly in love with ASMR. Of course, you being the source of this love. Your demeanor and calmness, your voice and magical hand gestures. I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it! I value your challenges and struggles because that’s what made you who you are today. You have made a life that is perfect because of these imperfections and you share this with us. We are so blessed! I want to see more of the family, but I too am familiar with man’s depravity and you need to put your family’s safety first. Always. I will 100% support you, and I hope one day to run into you and maybe have a chat. Or a glass of wine 🤪 I think that would make my life 😍 you are kind, generous, talented, and obviously special. If the creator of the world or higher power could do one more thing right, it would make another you! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Masha. Have a superb day xoxoxoxo 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I feel like I’m sitting down with a friend, getting advice and just hearing about life. Thanks Maria for helping me feel less alone tonight. ❤️
she’s so comforting
Thank you for being honest and validating that it’s ok to not always LOVE or enjoy parenthood. I think a lot of people find it so taboo when parents talk about wanting a break or not always wanting to be around their children. Parenthood is so hard, but very rewarding as you mentioned. Mama of 3 boys here and I miss me sometimes!
Just to add to what you were saying to Christina, this is so true. Motherhood is a wallop in the face and it can feel so overwhelming. But then as your kids get older, all those expectations you had of the FUNNESS and JOY of having kids, happens! When you're through the tricky toddler stages and the relentlessness of parenting small kids... age 6-7 plus kids are brilliant! I mean, you obviously will feel this before 6-7 years! But as they get older and more independent the balance between it being hard work and fun/amazing tips way more in favour of fun and amazing. We are sold a lie that motherhood is fulfulling and joyous as if there are no other sides to it. This needs to stop. Motherhood is beautiful and amazing but it's really, really hard and will challenge you to your core. Xxx
I just adore you Maria! You are just the sweetest, most genuine creator💛 thank you for all you do for us!
I think your advice about finding your path career-wise is excellent. Growing up, I was extremely poor. I lived in a very small town with no opportunities, and even though I had a loving mother, there was a lot of abuse from other sources in my life. All I wanted was to get out. I got excellent grades and moved away at 18 to go to university. But unfortunately, I lost myself along the way. All I could think about up until that point was surviving; I never stopped to think about what I would do afterwards. To this day, I still struggle with the question "what do you want out of life?" and I just turned 30. But narrowing down what I DON'T want has helped a lot. I don't want to go back to living in poverty. I don't want to work at a job that will take advantage of me. I don't want to sacrifice my creativity if I can help it. I'm certainly not working at my dream job, and I feel like I have a lot of growing left to do, but whenever I'm stuck thinking "what do I want?", I'm becoming more comfortable not knowing the exact answer.
Also, it was so heartwarming to hear about how happy you were when you finally took the step to get divorced from your ex. I totally understand not wanting to badmouth an ex partner, but I remember watching your videos during that time and I think we all noticed an immediate change when you became single. It's good for people to hear stories like this, and go realize that breaking up with someone or separating from a spouse isn't a failure, and it isn't the end of the world. That it can actually be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in your life.
It’s amazing to see all this wisdom you’ve acquired these past few years. As someone who’s just entering adulthood, it’s really nice to hear your assuring words and advice. Hugs 🤗💕
literally never been this early! maria you literally make my days feel happy and bright. thank you for all you do and we all love you.
Omg you in your dp look almost exactly like a Pakistani celebrity named Hania Amir, check her out!
Maria, you have such a great way with words. I have found lately that it is more exhausting to be angry and have other negatives emotions than to just let it go. Especially if it's something that is small and insignificant. You are right about your emotions influencing other people's emotions. And it's just a big domino effect. And I'm tired of being tired, so I just am slowly learning to let the little things go. At least things I can't control. I feel more calm and content that way. It doesnt always work, and it is okay to have a bad day or feel negative emotions cause it's natural and we're human of course. But to feel it for a brief moment, and then letting it go, is so freeing. As they say, it is what it is. Xoxo Thank you for your wisdom. ❤
I really appreciate you so so much.I feel in the way you talk that you want to show other people that have anxiety, fears etc. that you have too and is perfectly normal and this makes us humans..and the parts where you speak about motherhood and life with a toddler..as a mother of a suuuper energic toddler of 2 years and 4 months I soooo feel the exactly same way about everyting you said...I really wish you all the best, because you can see it in the way you talk that you have such a beautiful mind, and it feels like you are also very fragile...Hoping someday to have a friend like you.
As a new mom with not many friends, I have been struggling with severe post partum depression. It's so refreshing to hear that other woman have a hard time too and understand! You said everything so perfectly. It is definitely scary knowing your life will never be the same.
Wow Maria - I am so sorry to see you take the v blogs down but I completely understand it. We live in a scary world and you must protect your daughter at all costs. Thank you for all you do do for us!
There's many reasons I love your videos but the respect you have for yourself and others is one of the main reasons! You show respect in many ways but I feel like so many asmrtists have let their videos get sleezy and sloppy. Trying so hard to be provocative. But you have kept it respectful to all people and beliefs.
Omg... This!! @11:27 It takes a good heart to recognize and admit how one's own mood is affecting others!
Same exact values!
These videos- part 1&2 are some of my favorite you’ve done
Thank you!
I could watch a two hour long video of you just talking. I love your voice. Thank you so much for the beautiful videos
You talking about how you like to add alittle adventure to each day is literally mom goals and life goals!.
Thank you for sharing, Maria! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Kirsten Dunst? She’s my favorite actress, and you’re my favorite ASMRtist!
Wow I’ve never thought that but she really does!
I love seeing the relaxed and I guess more “candid” Maria ❤️❤️
Good job! Love you girlfriend! I've watched you from the beginning and I appreciate how down to earth you are and how relatable I feel with you thank-you Maria!!!
I love you! I’ve been watching you for about 8 years now, you were my first asmrtist discovery and you are the best. Wish we could meet someday! Thanks for all you do 🥰
You were the first asmrtist for me. Watching your towel folding video many years ago made me realize I wasn’t alone. I’ve always experienced tingles when certain people would speak or whisper and I couldn’t pinpoint why or what that feeling was. Spasibo for everything you do. 😌
Two videos in two days? WE ARE BLESSED
I both love and appreciate how honest, open, and vulnerable you made yourself for these Q&A videos. You've been a big part of our lives for so long, and yet it still seems like we're always learning something new about you.
Thank you for always being a constant in my life, and for just being you.
Even your normal voice is so relaxing and calming! This video just feels like sitting on the couch with your friend and catching up after a long time apart
So beautiful to hear how happy you were after divorcing your first husband. I can imagine the freedom and utter joy you felt. Good for you.
