A possible modifier for community could be "Intentional" or "dedicated". Just hearing how you've been setting boundaries and really being an active participant in deciding who is allowed in your community and how they treat you and each other, feels like such a direct and intentional act whereas sometimes community would just be the people around us, whether we've chosen them or not.
i always notice that your video titles truly feel designed to speak to people’s experiences and emotions rather than to hit the algorithm ❤ it’s not “my productive morning routine 2024: clean girl, makeup routine, breakfast idea ✨” but it’s a reminder to be slow and gentle. i see your intention and i luv it
I think an addition to your words could be something like "serendipitous" or "spontaneous." You are obviously someone with a lot of skill for planning, organizing, and managing friend group hangouts, girls trips, and the like. But it sounds like you want a lot of smaller "right place right time" connections with the people around you too. Just a fleeting moment at the coffee shop, or a coincidental meeting at an event you weren't planning to go to. Open yourself up to spontaneity and fate instead of everything needing to be perfectly in your planner!
your channel is such a soothing, strong checkpoint in the world for me nowadays. just wanted to say i really appreciate getting to watch you showing up for yourself
i honestly feel the same "i feel home here (in my body)" and it's an amazing feeling when you think of it it's like i've never been more me and i've never been this happy about it
This year has had the worst lessons and honestly stomped me into the ground and hasn’t let me up yet. I remember watching one of your videos in June the day that everything crashed down around me. The last 6 months have been so out of place and I have no idea what’s happening. But your videos have really helped me keep the best positive outlook I can right now. I’m so grateful for what you share and the beautiful way that you share it.
Beautiful, cathartic, freeing, and heartwarming are all words I would use to describe the wonderful content and community you've worked so hard to create. Whenever I hear you talk about your feelings and experiences, it feels like coming home, warm and healing. I've learned so much from you and it has truly been an honor to follow you on this life journey of healing, reflection, and most importantly, being emotionally online. Much love and luck to you 💜🍀
one of the hardest years of my life!!!!! never want to do it again but trusting that i’ll one day realize how the pieces fit into place. burnout and depression, i rebuke you. but it’s okay to not be okay too. ❤
We love you Maddie! I'm trying every day to produce my passion out into the world for others. Never let judgement scare you from sharing!!! It is about what you LOVE doing!
What you were talking about made me think of the word grounded. Not sure if that’s the best modifier for community, but it seems like you’ve arrived at a much safer more grounded place in yourself and I think that could be something to bring forward into the new year. Always love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for showing up the way you do
This video is immaculate 💅 i haven't stopped to really consider what this year has been for me, but this vid kind of gave me the inspiration and opportunity to reflect on the changes I've gone through this year and I'm so excited to see what 2025 looks like. Happy New Year, lover girls 🎉
this year was a lesson for me... at one point i was at my worst emotionally but i experienced so much as it changed me, i relate with what you said a lot !! thank you for your videos :)
Yessssss to pattern-breaking year. 😮💨 I’m reflecting on that now. Experiencing growing pains a bit. Found your channel late this year and I AM SO HAPPY I DID
Love how you always discuss something in your videos that affirms my own feelings around a topic that’s been on my mind and empowers me to listen to my gut! Feeling totally aligned with you on 2025 themes so I can’t wait to follow along! Love you alwaysssss 💜
As a small content creator I just wanted to say THANK you for reminding me that it’s not the views metric that is the metric of success nor is it the way I should judge my work. Needed that! Also loving the movement (well I hope it’s a movement) where we are redefining dating again. A place where we don’t need to be on the apps (the part time job thing is so accurate) nor do we have to tell ourselves we have to avoid love all together. I feel strongly that romantic love isn’t to be pursued -it is joy, purpose and peace that should be pursued. Then love will naturally flow in. Fab video as always ❤️
I went through a breakup this year and I have been on this back and forth mood of feeling so alone like im not going to find anybody even as a best friend, but when i was younger i didnt think id ever find someone romantically so i know its just something my brain is doing rather than truth. I guess what im trying to say is in 2025 im trying to feel the way you feel about dating right now and focus more on myself and if i find someone i find someone and if i dont i dont and both are okay. Thanks for this video 🩷
For me this year has been for healing and growth 💗 I did so much work on myself and tried to give myself a looot of grace (something I didn't do for YEARS) ✨ your videos had a role in this journey, for sure. Thank you for your constant presence!
It's wild how the videos of yours I'm able to catch often resonate so deeply. (There's been a few times where I can play catch-up or pick and choose random videos. I'm talking about when a new upload is Exactly The Mood and it hits way harder.) Just about everything else I could say is already summed up so well by other commenters! Here's to another year of deeper trust in ourselves, seeing ourselves as our own home, and figuring out how to navigate the tough challenge building community can be 💪
everything resonates so much!!! it's funny cause my word for this past year has been 'community' and my word for next year is 'expansion'! happy holidays, maddie! and love your content so much as always!
My 2025 intentions - guiding words are integrity and autonomy. Maybe a word for you Maddie could be ”to surrender”. It feels like your leaning back and really listening to what’s going on inside and what your wishes are instead of chasing and I think the word surrender och to surrender is a great description of that❤️ Your my favorite corner of the internet!❤️
another year of being thankful for ur content !!!!!!! thanku so much maddie !!! its so lovely to have someone my age makin this kinda content that ive been lucky enough to run into ! i appreicate ur honestly n vulnerability so much ur an angle !!! was out all day n i was like "weeee maddie video when i get home" lfg
glad to hear u talk about coming to terms with singleness also - i have such lovely friends who i think also have really moved on from dating apps in the past couple years n maybe its just this age but it feels like thats kinda whats going on rn n its so damn refreshing .
This year was SO HARD. But as you said at the beginning, so transformative. I have really enjoyed the evolution of your content and felt like I especially related to it this year. Thank you for your dedication to this community and for sharing your voice with us, I adore you and your platform
thank you for all of you and your creations, maddie. i’ve been watching since the poetry video days and i feel like i have shelled myself out to everybody and everything around me that whole time, even up until now. but conversations like this inspire me. i’m going to do all i can to put my dreams and goals first. to become someone who the people who took advantage of me wouldn’t ever recognize. it’s freeing to be protective over yourself.
Maddie, thank you for your videos this year. I completely resonated with everything you’ve said in terms of how tough this year was. Your videos really helped me through!
Love your content, it is a gift to follow your jouney and to be reflective about mine as well. Thank you for another year and i can't wait to see what 2025 brings us 💕
The comment section of all of your videos always reminds me of old youtube Maddie. I've had some horrible past few days and a hard year, thank you for always making me feel better ❤
being seen and valued by 20 people with good intent and similar values will trump a million people that watch for the sake of mindless consumption 🧿🩷 your content is curated with so much love and experience, if it took so much to create, its gonna take people that have ALSO taken the time to recognise it within themselves to be seen as it was intended!!! and that is a very very small community on this earth so really, you are winning always maddie :] thank you for being a sister
A modifier that came to my mind would be a follow-up to last years, connecting the two. “Expansive Community.” Partly to follow last years theme but also because it sounds like you wish to grow community into every corner of your life. Always love and cherish every crumb of content you put out, you’re my favourite para social UA-camr/podcaster
If there were only 15 people watching you, I'd be one of them. And your content always resonates so deeply with me.
appreciate you more than i can say!!! thank you for being here :)
+1
I was literally searching your channel for a video to listen to while I clean my room. Immaculate timing
no literally i got the vibes telepathically

ok LOVE this observation, you're so right!!
the title is already a banger, I think this is just what I need right now
CURATED community ✨

feeling SEEN in this comment section right now hahaha
Radical community building! It's my goal this year too

After all the talk about community I was just waiting for the Lover Girls discord to be announced 😭❤
soon soon soon ❤️
one of the hardest years of my life!!!!! never want to do it again but trusting that i’ll one day realize how the pieces fit into place. burnout and depression, i rebuke you. but it’s okay to not be okay too. ❤

Fab video as always ❤️
as a fellow purple-haired lady, im obsessed with your hair. I am desperately wondering what dye you use!! 💜💜
this was such a lovely reminder that how i feel within myself is more important than other people’s expectations of me
I went through a breakup this year and I have been on this back and forth mood of feeling so alone like im not going to find anybody even as a best friend, but when i was younger i didnt think id ever find someone romantically so i know its just something my brain is doing rather than truth.

Lmao I was listening to this while driving and the whole time you were talking about fostering I thought you were saying kids not kittens
oh my GOD hahahahaha

Change is inevitable in life. The choice we have is what direction we change in; we can keep growing, or we can regress.
Love your content, it is a gift to follow your jouney and to be reflective about mine as well. Thank you for another year and i can't wait to see what 2025 brings us 💕
so excited to see you continue to grow in 2025 queen ❣️you're always saying the shit I need to hear

I greet my cat with hi lover girl and I feel like that's your influence
Always a good day when you upload maddie. Thank you for being uuuu!
i recently was thinking about the content that i like to consume and i thought about your sit down talking videos 💜
I thought of the term "holistic community".
HUGE MIC! LOVED IT
Cultivated, intentional, supportive, safe
A modifier that came to my mind would be a follow-up to last years, connecting the two. “Expansive Community.” Partly to follow last years theme but also because it sounds like you wish to grow community into every corner of your life.

I think community is a great word, some modifiers that come to my mind are intentional or meaningful.
Or you chose to make communal the modifier 😮❤
I wanna be like u when i grow up
your content is so needed, thank you ❤
Fusion, unity, synergy :-)
I am always in awe of peeps who can foster. I could never, I'd just end up with 50 cats 😂
💕Comforting community💕
It works both as ‘a community that brings you comfort’ and as ‘your efforts to bring love to comfort your communities’
