Honestly, these visual diaries bring me joy. Sometimes, it feels like a little pocket of peace in what seems to be a chaotic world. Also, it helps me feel less lonely when I do things and I feel like I have a friend
you got it exactly right 💛 we love the mundane slow living vlogs. it’s hard to see why people enjoy our content, as creators. but your vlogs definitely help us aspire to have calming, healthier lifestyles and they definitely inspire other creators to share their authentic lives as well, especially me. thank you sophia 🌸
It makes me feel less alone in my loneliness. Seeing someone living parallel to me is comforting, you feel similar things to me and experience similar things to me, and others. Finding peace and comfort in the little things.
We love YOU. That's why we watch your content. It's like when you see a friend, you might be chilling at home doing nothing each time but you love hanging out with them. It's about the company, not the excitement of doing something different and extravagant. We love you, your personality, voice, the beautiful way you express yourself, your dogs, your style, esthetic, home, habits etc. We love Sofia and are happy to catch up when there is a new vlog! ♡
I’m 3 minutes into the video and I already have one reason, because I’m 57 years old and I’m living (as sad and pathetic through you) I had so many dreams, so many things I had hoped for myself, but life happened, I love seeing your independence, your badass attitude, but gentle soul. You make beautiful videos, I heard a quote from a song last week, “ The truth be told, the truth is rarely told” that is my truth, and despite your feelings of having a mundane life, that’s your truth( and it’s NOT mundane) more people need to be truthful! Because the TRUTH is, we are all just walking each other home, and you make the walk just alittle sweeter ❤️
Cheri your comment struck my heart.. no need to live through anyone or anything because you create the a routine, bad ass attitude and a gentle soul as you are seeking. I believe you deserve that you are right as well we are all just walking each other home.
Your videos keep getting so much BETTER with each upload and I must say, it's an honour to be able to get glimpses of your life in each vlog, Sophia. You're truly loved and appreciated!❤️
I think we underestimate the importance of creativity and creative people. In hard times, that and they are what I run toward. Music, fashion, art, movies, etc. I've also heard many people that push back on making vlogs say they see no value in them. I want us to understand that just existing is valuable. Being yourself is valuable. You do not have to do anything to be worthy of value. People admire others from all angles, some of which we cannot see. So, Sophia! I fucking love your videos because you have an EYE. Who knew vlogs could feel like a movie? But, with that, if you want to pivot and do something else - do it. Do what you want, please. You are the sole subject of this channel. We come back for YOU. 🤎
You're the only consistent youtuber I keep up with because your "mundane" life in this busy hustle world is so comforting. You and your videos remind me that it's okay to take life a little slower, appreciate the little things, and to get my ass to the gym :) I hope you never stop taking us along in your life. You feel like an older sister! Thank you Sophia
Please don’t stop making these types of videos. It helps me remember to do the “simple” things like make myself something healthy to eat, clean my living space, call a friend to go have lunch, you even inspired me to buy a pair of skates which helped me create new friendships. You’ve helped me a lot over the years (been a subbie since you worked at Mac) and lately these “mundane vlogs” have been my favorite thing to watch on my lunch break or after work 🥰
In a fast paced, noisy and maximalist world, your videos serve as a reminder to slow down and to cherish the simple things in life like: self care , connecting with nature , eating well and spending time with loved ones. That is the lifestyle I personally have always valued and I think your videos can help others realize that we can live authentically; without giving into the FOMO that is caused by people only posting highlights as their day to day lives.
Sophia! Every time you upload I yell to my husband, “Sophia uploaded!” with pure excitement. Girl, each video keeps getting better and better. You inspire me sooooo much, so much that I started my channel two years ago and what you said in the beginning of the video about people still coming to watch your life really made me feel better and to keep putting videos out. I have been here since the Fashionista804 days and seeing how far you’ve come and all your growth is truly an inspiration. Also I will never tire of seeing you clean, make lunch, feed the pups and definitely not get tired of you and your trainers chemistry, I couldn’t stop laughing at the giggles you guys had.
Your mom saying 'am I supposed to be a dog grandma forever?!' was hilarious haha. Also thanks for opening up about vaping addiction again. Was wondering how you've been handling that as I've been going through the same thing for years alone.
Yeah ofc! I’m still dealing with it… Still vaping a lot, but I started incorporating a strict fitness routine where I train 6x a week including runs to help me start leaning off of it. It’s still early stages right now so there’s not much of an update but I’ll be sure to talk about it once I see some progress ❤
@@sophiachang wow that sounds like a healthy routine! I hope it helps 💜. I feel like it's challenging but definitely possible to cut back on vaping. Perhaps even entirely someday. We shall see! 🤞🏼
It makes me feel less afraid to be alone and knowing that there are other females out there doing it all alone too. It honestly gives me so much strength and encouragement you have no idea 💕
Been here since the fashionista days, but seeing you go through life lends a sense of companionship and inspiration, especially with the consistent and slower living. I began living alone during quarantine, and got a lot of value from the “everyday vlogs” and living alone vlogs. Now, with things picked up, seeing your content still provides a huge sense of calm and reminds me that doing what you do, no matter how quiet or repetitive it may be, is the ultimate goal and that there is no shame in that. Your routine reminds me that you don’t need a lot of things to be happy, to savor the small moments with people, and that going through our own journeys is all a beautiful part of life. Hope you know your content makes a difference and your genuine rawness is so sincerely appreciated 🤍
When life is boring or when I find myself with nothing to do and the thoughts start settling in, I really do spiral. I try and distract myself but the older I get the more I’m truly trying to find comfort in those moments and it hasn’t been easy. Also I’m really proud of you for bringing up your vaping situation with your therapist. You can do this girl. Really hope you’re proud of yourself too for taking these steps it’s all you can do
Your ability to capture life, to tell a story, your emotions through the editing rather than verbal and visual cues is so subtle but profound. Your videos are simply inspirational to me, whether it be to try something new, or to brighten my day, or to let me know everything will be ok, words can’t describe their value ❤️
Sophia, I've been watching your content for years and I'm oh so grateful for your presence. Your channel kept me through tough times. I sometimes think of all the influencers that helped me through my hard times and how hard and lonely it must be for them. I wish there were other ways to show you that I'm here for you. I guess this comment is one way.... Slow down, take care of yourself. You have one body and one life- cherish the mundane. Much love from Queens, NY
Your visual diaries are so calm and I love watching your mundane routined life. I feel like I'm watching my life through your editing skills! I hope you keep making these as these videos give me the moment of piece in my life and I just forget everything and get absorbed in your insanely creative way of capturing snippets of life
honestly watching your vlogs is like getting a big hug from an older sister 🥹 thank you for sharing your life with us!! it makes a difference and brings more people joy than you know 💛
Soph, I live for these visual diaries! Helps me gather the motivation to take things day by day: cleaning, taking care of my fur babies, taking care of my body (cooking + exercising), mental health care, etc. You don’t glam or try to sugar coat what life needs to look like everyday. Freaking loved all the little aesthetics to your editing especially the boxing flashback portion. Love you and your videos! Love from NoVA 🤍
hey Soph🖤 just wanted to let you know/ remind you that i, along with your beautiful community of supporters, truly appreciate your videos, in addition to all the time and effort that you’ve placed within them. i personally feel so much ease and peace, amidst my own constant mental and physical battles, every time i click on one of your newest uploads or when i go back to the older ones. overall - it’s okay to feel like you’re repeating certain things, people are bound to fall into habit sometimes - but it doesn’t make you or your life mundane, it’s only part of a larger process. for those of us who support you and “tune in every week” or so, i think we can agree that the curation of your videos and the care they hold, are in many ways so significant and valued. so, thank you for this video and for choosing to dedicate more love and time to yourself and your craft. much love!
on one hand to so many people "the mundane" is a goal to reach. not everyone has that level of stability so your videos give hope and that a certain level of comfort is possible. It's wholesome and inspiring to see someone out there putting in the repetitive work to improve. But also, there's power in the simple growth process. It's not always thrilling, but that's why its relatable. when you're bored of the basics it means you're ready to learn something new. I'm learning from your experience.
watching your videos on mondays with my coffee, might be the best part of my week so as long as you love doing them, keep'em coming, we love everything about your videos - the good parts, the sad parts, the sponsored parts, everything! love you sincerely xx
sophie you may not see the value in your videos but they are so nice to watch. i feel the ones where people travel everywhere all the time and do so much aren't very realistic for just the average viewer like me. we are at home and living mundane lives just like you and that's why i watch your vlogs, and sometimes it's a treat to see you travel and do things i would never do or be able to. nostalgia and relatability are the things that i look for the most though. i've watched you for a long time and i've watched you grow and change as a person, just as i have. it's like having a virtual friend. and i've watched your videos longer than i've kept some real life friends...lol. so just keep doing what you're doing. don't be so hard on yourself and know that somewhere out there, it's making someone's day better.
I think different ppl watch you for different reasons. For me I’m inspired by your discipline and it helps me when I’m in a slump. If I don’t feel like working out. I watch one of your videos. When I don’t feel like cleaning my apartment. I watch one of your videos. You have inspired so many changes in my life. I have a very abusive and dysfunctional family but seeing you with your loving family gives me a dose vicariously of the family I’ve always wanted. At the end of the day, ppl like you for being you.😘😘😘😘
Sophie I have been a big fan of you since 10 years ago. I have been following every single step of your life as long as you are still updating. I get to calm down when I see your videos. They are peaceful, organized and interesting. Your parents, sister, friends are very nice people as well. I really enjoy watching them. Just like how you love a person, you don’t need a specific reason to love watching something either. And girl, believe in yourself. You are so special.
To be honest I enjoy seeing you work out, eat healthy food, and just go about your mundane activities, somethin about the “boring stuff” makes me more at peace in a way. Seeing you work out is so much fun to watch and it helps me get even more motivated to keep up with mine!
Your videos are literally EVERYTHING! No matter what you do, whenever I see you upload I get so excited. Thank you for adding value to many people's lives
The last song is my morning prayer song. I listen to it every morning as I say everything I’m grateful for. I love your visual diaries, you are so relatable and it makes me feel so attached to someone I have never met before. Love you Sophia.
You truly inspire me. From moments with your sister and mom, to where you are alone in the wilderness. These moments in your videos inspires me to get up, work on myself and my mental health. I continue to wait and look forward to your videos more and more. Thank you for sharing your story.
honestly youre the only youtuber that i never skip through when youre talking about a sponsor. its in every video but i love it! you put so much effort filming your day/days and the editing is seriously so good! I get so excited when your video pops up! It is so real and soothing to watch!
Sophia your videos are my inspiration, my comfort and my motivation to keep trying even when it seems to dark and to hard to keep going. That's the value of your videos for me any way.
Because you and your content is real. It’s like watching a short documentary, see somebody else go through their own journey and at the end of the video i feel the support and encouragement as well.
Sophia, you provide entertainment and your content is so valuable! Not only are you growing but you allow your viewers a glimpse to also self-reflect. You inspire and motivate.
This visual diaries help me so much , being someone that constantly has to be around ppl just to be happy , thinking that I have to be out and about to feel fulfilled with myself …. U really show me that taking time to be alone and breathe and eat something good and healthy is okay , it’s okay to not always being around ppl or having to be around others .. u helped me in ways u couldn’t imagine sophia ✨❤️🌲🌳 !
This is a very real topic of how your work is inferring with the way you think of your self and I’m so proud of your courage to shed light on it! You’re nothing short of amazing Soph! And as a reminder to hopefully only bring you joy, I very much enjoy re watching your same mundane life over and over as I truly find peace while doing so ❤️
I don't think you realize how much your content soooooothes and how much we love you! It is cinematic and relatable. I'm sure most of us live slower and more "mundane" lives since the pandemic so it is refreshing to see a youtube not doing the most. And just so you know, you are the quickest click i make on youtube. No other youtube I subscribe to you compares
I honestly always look forward to watching your videos there's something healing about it gets me through the week and that we're dealing with similar mental struggles..this is therapy for me too🤍
There is great value in watching someone live. There is beauty in the mundane; it's inspiring in its own right. Personally, I watch vlogs because it helps me feel connected and keeps me inspired in a way that is more attainable. Watching people constantly live exciting lives is fun and amusing, but it can easily feel so far-fetched to me.
They're just so relaxing and calming to watch. There's solace in these videos for me. I felt the same about the Wahlie vlogs too (even though I know they also started questioning them because they were 'repetitive').
The value of your videos is that you're not about "showing," but about "growing" and all that entails - ups, downs and everything in between. Your "secret sauce" is your relatability, your calm and your finding joy in simple things.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts. It definitely helps me in my life that I’m not alone in searching for a purpose and articulating a feeling that I’m going through. You have been an inspiration to keep pushing through these harder times. I hope you are well!
Oh my gosh this was sooo beautiful Sophie. I had never watched vloggers before I found you during pandemic. I agree with everyone else here: your visual eye, your calm and also joyful spirit, how you show not just the highlights but your processing - oh, and the coffee ;) - thank you for sharing your life with us and helping us romanticize our own. Also, TAKE YO DARN TIME with each upload please!! I’m glad you’re finding a rhythm that honors how beautiful you want to make these. It truly shows!
Absolutely loved the intro of this video. Please know we love your monthly vlogs so much and always look forward for a new one. You are doing so great, so so great. Sending love and a big hug!
There is always something very homey and soothing about these vlogs. For the days that I cannot make it outside my house, it's nice to follow you along your day. I always appreciate all of the visuals that you have in your vlog and your editing style is amazing. I hope that you continue to feel motion and progress towards your goals and resolutions.
i truly love your videos because they give perspective into an older(than me) asian american, women which is not something i see very often. I feel like i don't see the perspective of other minorities in my life as often as i would like to. It's also just comforting, like listening to a friend, letting me not feel so alone all day. Also your videos give me inspiration and motivation, to clean or cook or take care of myself. idk, that's just my take on the value of your videos to me, but i feel like i'm probably not alone on that aspect.
I was in a mentally dark space where I didn't care to look after myself. I didn't care about anything. Your videos brought me much comfort from your honestly, vulnerability, and strength. The way you look after yourself with care and precision gave me hope that I can bounce back from anything in life. Slowly I began to make changes and I can say I'm in a much healthier mental state because of you. Life is hard, its not easy at all, so seeing someone like you suffer yet do such an amazing job of carrying the burden of life, is admirable. You get back up and keep trying. Perhaps idk the full picture, no one ever will on UA-cam; only you know yourself the best. Regardless I hope your visual diaries remind you of all the things you got through so when life hits you again (which it will for everyone) you can find strength to keep going. If one day you choose to stop UA-cam to protect your mental health, Ik the people that truly admire you will support you. Change is inevitable, until then I'm grateful I get the privilege to see life through your eyes and find comfort in the lessons I learn through you. Thank you for existing.
loved seeing mama chang and robin in this one! and cinco is so precious 😍 when you were giggling with your trainer, it totally made me so happy to see you happy. we love and care so much for you girl - whether you make a vlog of you just sitting on the patio, or out-and-about going around town - we're here for it all ❤
Thank you for blessing us with your vlogs. I know it might seem like a lot of work but it’s so appreciated. I feel happy when I see a new upload from you since it’s not often. Been following you on UA-cam since 2016 and just catching a glimpse of your every day life makes me seem like I’m not alone w my daily activities. Thanks for sharing your parts of your life
Thank you Sophia for allowing us to view your beautiful videos. I re-watch them so many times as I can relate to what you are going through. You are truly loved. x
I think one thing that I really enjoy about your videos is after following you for so long it feels like a check in with an old school friend. It's really nice to see someone grow and show their highs and lows. It feels grounding in a world that is so loud, chaotic, and honestly sometimes rude. I like seeing when you stretch your creative muscle and get cool shots. Grow as you do.
I love your videos more and more! These "mundane" days are what I can connect to every single moment of my day especially having some things in common - being single, living alone, improving my mental and physical health. I was not aware of the long edits and I am appreciating your vlogs more and more.
Something struck me when you said “ a week is not enough time to deliver my best work”. We put timelines on ourselves all the time, when even diamonds take thousands of years to form. Love received, overjoyed to be a part of this community with you.
I have enjoyed watching your therapy journey. As someone who also has grown and learned a new side of their self I appreciate how you open up even if it’s just a little about your experience with talking to someone
I don’t think you get how precious you are. You give us the reason to watch UA-cam. Everything is so raw and real. I personally love watching your vlogs and you have the best editing in the game. 🥲🥹your editing is peak
I stand by you Sophie, no matter you upload monthly or what, I will always look forward to your videos as it calms me as well! Take your time to heal, live life!
I love your look out montages ❤ you add value by being a real relatable beautiful soul. So many people find peace in seeing how beautiful the simple moments of your life are, and it's a reminder of the beauty in the simple moments of ours
I struggle with anxiety and constantly overthink sometimes i find it hard to turn my brain off and just relax. And i Can say wholeheartedly your videos bring me that peace and for that i want to say thank you.
Hey Sophia! You ask how you add value to people? Personally you are definitely an inspiration in many ways to my life. I’ve been watching your videos and not been feeling my best but your videos bring so much peace and comfort to me. Not only that but your videos have been motivating me to try new things and even in making a career switch. Thank you for putting yourself out there even in your most vulnerable moments. You are so strong. I truly admire/value that from you.♥️
Your videos inspire me to take care of myself more. I just graduated university and I'm excited to follow your footsteps in taking care of myself and giving more attention to the important things in life: family.
These videos are so breathtakingly beautiful. I’ve never seen this much effort put into editing and filming. The quality really shows. I have to say, coming out of a ten year toxic relationship I look for just about anything on UA-cam to fill the silence, and your videos have touched a part of me that I can’t explain. I feel safe here. Hope you and yours are well, Soph. ✨
I love your vlogs. It’s exactly what you said. It doesn’t matter what you do or if it is the same. We like you, your thoughts, your way of filming and editing. It’s very calming and relatable in many ways.
Hi Sophie, I want to share that I’ve been following you for quite some time now, and you feel like a friend to me where I care about your well-being and happiness. I don’t go on UA-cam often anymore though just due to my lifestyle, but when I do watch your videos I do feel so happy and can just go on and on and on watching them! I hope you are doing well ❤️
your vlogs make me feel like home and you are so inspiring. the way you capture these simple moments and make them look beautiful, it's so special! love you soph 🤍
I love your videos. They are the best - so aesthetic and calming. I am happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself and listening to what you need. Slowing down is one of the hardest things to do these days.
I love you videos! I'm turning 30 in a few months and you've expressed so many thoughts I've had, many things my friends don't feel comfortable discussing. Your videos have been a comfort to me during this time.
I enjoy such slow living vlogs because it reminds me to find joy in the mundane, the littlest things like watching the dogs play, getting stronger from exercising, eating a yummy meal 🥰
I will say for me you give me the motivation to get up and workout, or the comfort knowing i am not alone when it comes to anxiety and depression, or the new song to listen to from your video. you are my favorite on here i feel so much comfort and joy when i watch your vlogs also i am not sure if you have read “atomic habits” but if not add it to your list! it’s amazing!
I hope you get to read this message throughout all these beautiful ones as well, but you really make my day when you upload, I know what it feels like to live a mundane life, but I always manage to find the small things each and everyday to enjoy and cherish, after all the moments never come back. Anyway thanks for these beautiful 17 min you shared with us. You’re so strong and so beautiful inside and out. I love how authentic you are. Never lose sight of that, sometimes what you don’t see in yourself, others find so interesting and inspiring. You’re amazing Sophia ❤️ remember there will be a time you look back at this time and find the meaning to it all. Love ya!
I was going through the worst period of my life and couldn't stomach watching those upbeat, happy, perfect vlogs - I needed an escape which just felt easy and calm, something gentle on the spirit. Your vlogs were it for me. I felt a little moment of rest when I'd tune in, and well I've never left. It's easy to be here, away from the noise and constant change. So thank you, Sophia.
Okay no this is next level!!!!! Wow 😍 the edit! creativity, the MUNDANE content which I absolutely love you have no idea!! Just amazing Sophia, truly amazing! ❤️
Soph - your life doesn’t feel mundane. Maybe it’s just because I’m in a season of life that’s chaotic and hard, but your videos feel rhythmic and routine to me. That’s not a bad thing! It’s comforting and feels like that first trip home from college where you remember the peace that comes with familiar, routine spaces that you so badly wanted away from. Thank you for inviting us into your normalcy. It feels peaceful here with you.
Soph you have no idea how awesome your content is and it's so freaking visually pleasing I genuinely always get so excited everytime you release a video so don't ever doubt yourself!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️
i don't think i could ever get sick of your videos. i get how a lot of vloggers lately get sick of creating the same thing and think their audience feels the same way. but i just think you do this vlog youtube thing so well. your editing style and vision when creating a vlog and the energy you have is just so enjoyable. you are a beautiful soul! i think you have a really special connection with your audience and i feel like you're my friend hanging out with you every time you upload lol. you've been my favorite youtuber for a decade now and you are a source of inspiration and comfort for me. :') just now realizing how influential you have been to me :o i'm always rooting for you and thank you for always working hard to create these masterpieces and sharing your life.
Honestly, these visual diaries bring me joy. Sometimes, it feels like a little pocket of peace in what seems to be a chaotic world. Also, it helps me feel less lonely when I do things and I feel like I have a friend
I couldn’t have said this better. I 100% agree 🥰
@@d.alexandratorres me too we must all be introverts lol
🥺🥺 Sending you so much love and light Salma!! Thank you 🤍
Same. ♥️♥️
This!!
you got it exactly right 💛 we love the mundane slow living vlogs. it’s hard to see why people enjoy our content, as creators. but your vlogs definitely help us aspire to have calming, healthier lifestyles and they definitely inspire other creators to share their authentic lives as well, especially me. thank you sophia 🌸
Couldn’t have said it better 💛
Agreed! - Also I enjoy your videos and content Maisy Leigh 💖👑
Thank you!!!!! ❤
@@khalilahd. ditto! :) how long have you been folloiwng?
It makes me feel less alone in my loneliness. Seeing someone living parallel to me is comforting, you feel similar things to me and experience similar things to me, and others. Finding peace and comfort in the little things.
I completely agree 💛
I love this response...I feel like I'm living parallel to Soph as well...she has kept me going through the hardest days
@@bindlepunkbetty8590 i binge watched all of her vlogs while i was going through the hardest part of my therapy sessions. It kept me mentally sane 😌

There's no reason to live vicariously thru someone. Get up and go create the life you desire. Your age doesnt matter 💕
Your videos keep getting so much BETTER with each upload and I must say, it's an honour to be able to get glimpses of your life in each vlog, Sophia. You're truly loved and appreciated!❤️
Ok but Sophia and her trainer have some serious chemistry going on & I’m here for it 👀🤣❤️
I was thinking the same thing. They’d make a cute couple! ❤️
THEY NEED TO GO OUT ON A DATE ASAP
I was laughing with them! hahahah
dude i've been saying! they are so cute
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN F*CKING SAYING OMG
I think we underestimate the importance of creativity and creative people. In hard times, that and they are what I run toward. Music, fashion, art, movies, etc. I've also heard many people that push back on making vlogs say they see no value in them. I want us to understand that just existing is valuable.

You and your videos remind me that it's okay to take life a little slower, appreciate the little things, and to get my ass to the gym :) I hope you never stop taking us along in your life. You feel like an older sister! Thank you Sophia
Please don’t stop making these types of videos. It helps me remember to do the “simple” things like make myself something healthy to eat, clean my living space, call a friend to go have lunch, you even inspired me to buy a pair of skates which helped me create new friendships. You’ve helped me a lot over the years (been a subbie since you worked at Mac) and lately these “mundane vlogs” have been my favorite thing to watch on my lunch break or after work 🥰
In a fast paced, noisy and maximalist world, your videos serve as a reminder to slow down and to cherish the simple things in life like: self care , connecting with nature , eating well and spending time with loved ones.
That is the lifestyle I personally have always valued and I think your videos can help others realize that we can live authentically; without giving into the FOMO that is caused by people only posting highlights as their day to day lives.
Sophia! Every time you upload I yell to my husband, “Sophia uploaded!” with pure excitement. Girl, each video keeps getting better and better. You inspire me sooooo much, so much that I started my channel two years ago and what you said in the beginning of the video about people still coming to watch your life really made me feel better and to keep putting videos out.

I love these slow vlogs because it reminds me to stop and enjoy the little moments in life and reminds me to decompress and recharge 💛
Your mom saying 'am I supposed to be a dog grandma forever?!' was hilarious haha. Also thanks for opening up about vaping addiction again. Was wondering how you've been handling that as I've been going through the same thing for years alone.
Yeah ofc! I’m still dealing with it…
Still vaping a lot, but I started incorporating a strict fitness routine where I train 6x a week including runs to help me start leaning off of it. It’s still early stages right now so there’s not much of an update but I’ll be sure to talk about it once I see some progress ❤
@@sophiachang wow that sounds like a healthy routine! I hope it helps 💜. I feel like it's challenging but definitely possible to cut back on vaping. Perhaps even entirely someday. We shall see! 🤞🏼
It makes me feel less afraid to be alone and knowing that there are other females out there doing it all alone too. It honestly gives me so much strength and encouragement you have no idea 💕
Been here since the fashionista days, but seeing you go through life lends a sense of companionship and inspiration, especially with the consistent and slower living. I began living alone during quarantine, and got a lot of value from the “everyday vlogs” and living alone vlogs. Now, with things picked up, seeing your content still provides a huge sense of calm and reminds me that doing what you do, no matter how quiet or repetitive it may be, is the ultimate goal and that there is no shame in that. Your routine reminds me that you don’t need a lot of things to be happy, to savor the small moments with people, and that going through our own journeys is all a beautiful part of life. Hope you know your content makes a difference and your genuine rawness is so sincerely appreciated 🤍
I appreciate the simplicity and the beauty of the little things. Life looks different for everyone but I find peace when I watch your videos✨
I FEEL THE SAME!!!!!!!!
Omgosh! We finally got to see mama Chang againnn💃🏾 She's steady hilarious, I cannot!😂
Super glad she's doing great!
❤️❤️
Are you going to make me a dog grandma forever??! I died.
When life is boring or when I find myself with nothing to do and the thoughts start settling in, I really do spiral. I try and distract myself but the older I get the more I’m truly trying to find comfort in those moments and it hasn’t been easy. Also I’m really proud of you for bringing up your vaping situation with your therapist. You can do this girl. Really hope you’re proud of yourself too for taking these steps it’s all you can do
Your ability to capture life, to tell a story, your emotions through the editing rather than verbal and visual cues is so subtle but profound. Your videos are simply inspirational to me, whether it be to try something new, or to brighten my day, or to let me know everything will be ok, words can’t describe their value ❤️
Sophia, I've been watching your content for years and I'm oh so grateful for your presence. Your channel kept me through tough times. I sometimes think of all the influencers that helped me through my hard times and how hard and lonely it must be for them. I wish there were other ways to show you that I'm here for you. I guess this comment is one way.... Slow down, take care of yourself. You have one body and one life- cherish the mundane. Much love from Queens, NY
Visually appealing, soothing storytelling, and girl, you are a hustler and we respect that. The transitions in the vid 🤌🏼💋
Your visual diaries are so calm and I love watching your mundane routined life. I feel like I'm watching my life through your editing skills! I hope you keep making these as these videos give me the moment of piece in my life and I just forget everything and get absorbed in your insanely creative way of capturing snippets of life
the convos with your mom and sis are everything and Cinqo is too cute for words, please show him/her more! :) love love love your vibes.
I begun to enjoy me being alone since watching your videos- - gym, walking with my dog, eating outside... Its magical.
honestly watching your vlogs is like getting a big hug from an older sister 🥹 thank you for sharing your life with us!! it makes a difference and brings more people joy than you know 💛
Soph, I live for these visual diaries! Helps me gather the motivation to take things day by day: cleaning, taking care of my fur babies, taking care of my body (cooking + exercising), mental health care, etc. You don’t glam or try to sugar coat what life needs to look like everyday. Freaking loved all the little aesthetics to your editing especially the boxing flashback portion. Love you and your videos! Love from NoVA 🤍
hey Soph🖤 just wanted to let you know/ remind you that i, along with your beautiful community of supporters, truly appreciate your videos, in addition to all the time and effort that you’ve placed within them. i personally feel so much ease and peace, amidst my own constant mental and physical battles, every time i click on one of your newest uploads or when i go back to the older ones. overall - it’s okay to feel like you’re repeating certain things, people are bound to fall into habit sometimes - but it doesn’t make you or your life mundane, it’s only part of a larger process. for those of us who support you and “tune in every week” or so, i think we can agree that the curation of your videos and the care they hold, are in many ways so significant and valued. so, thank you for this video and for choosing to dedicate more love and time to yourself and your craft. much love!
on one hand to so many people "the mundane" is a goal to reach. not everyone has that level of stability so your videos give hope and that a certain level of comfort is possible. It's wholesome and inspiring to see someone out there putting in the repetitive work to improve. But also, there's power in the simple growth process. It's not always thrilling, but that's why its relatable. when you're bored of the basics it means you're ready to learn something new. I'm learning from your experience.
watching your videos on mondays with my coffee, might be the best part of my week
so as long as you love doing them, keep'em coming, we love everything about your videos - the good parts, the sad parts, the sponsored parts, everything! love you sincerely xx
sophie you may not see the value in your videos but they are so nice to watch. i feel the ones where people travel everywhere all the time and do so much aren't very realistic for just the average viewer like me. we are at home and living mundane lives just like you and that's why i watch your vlogs, and sometimes it's a treat to see you travel and do things i would never do or be able to. nostalgia and relatability are the things that i look for the most though. i've watched you for a long time and i've watched you grow and change as a person, just as i have. it's like having a virtual friend. and i've watched your videos longer than i've kept some real life friends...lol. so just keep doing what you're doing. don't be so hard on yourself and know that somewhere out there, it's making someone's day better.
I think different ppl watch you for different reasons. For me I’m inspired by your discipline and it helps me when I’m in a slump. If I don’t feel like working out. I watch one of your videos. When I don’t feel like cleaning my apartment. I watch one of your videos. You have inspired so many changes in my life. I have a very abusive and dysfunctional family but seeing you with your loving family gives me a dose vicariously of the family I’ve always wanted. At the end of the day, ppl like you for being you.😘😘😘😘
Sophie I have been a big fan of you since 10 years ago. I have been following every single step of your life as long as you are still updating. I get to calm down when I see your videos. They are peaceful, organized and interesting. Your parents, sister, friends are very nice people as well. I really enjoy watching them. Just like how you love a person, you don’t need a specific reason to love watching something either. And girl, believe in yourself. You are so special.
To be honest I enjoy seeing you work out, eat healthy food, and just go about your mundane activities, somethin about the “boring stuff” makes me more at peace in a way. Seeing you work out is so much fun to watch and it helps me get even more motivated to keep up with mine!
Your videos are literally EVERYTHING! No matter what you do, whenever I see you upload I get so excited. Thank you for adding value to many people's lives
The last song is my morning prayer song. I listen to it every morning as I say everything I’m grateful for. I love your visual diaries, you are so relatable and it makes me feel so attached to someone I have never met before. Love you Sophia.
You truly inspire me. From moments with your sister and mom, to where you are alone in the wilderness. These moments in your videos inspires me to get up, work on myself and my mental health. I continue to wait and look forward to your videos more and more. Thank you for sharing your story.
honestly youre the only youtuber that i never skip through when youre talking about a sponsor. its in every video but i love it! you put so much effort filming your day/days and the editing is seriously so good! I get so excited when your video pops up! It is so real and soothing to watch!
Sophia your videos are my inspiration, my comfort and my motivation to keep trying even when it seems to dark and to hard to keep going.
That's the value of your videos for me any way.
Because you and your content is real. It’s like watching a short documentary, see somebody else go through their own journey and at the end of the video i feel the support and encouragement as well.
Sophia, you provide entertainment and your content is so valuable! Not only are you growing but you allow your viewers a glimpse to also self-reflect. You inspire and motivate.
This visual diaries help me so much , being someone that constantly has to be around ppl just to be happy , thinking that I have to be out and about to feel fulfilled with myself …. U really show me that taking time to be alone and breathe and eat something good and healthy is okay , it’s okay to not always being around ppl or having to be around others .. u helped me in ways u couldn’t imagine sophia ✨❤️🌲🌳 !
This is a very real topic of how your work is inferring with the way you think of your self and I’m so proud of your courage to shed light on it! You’re nothing short of amazing Soph! And as a reminder to hopefully only bring you joy, I very much enjoy re watching your same mundane life over and over as I truly find peace while doing so ❤️
Okay but, Luna is quite literally the calmest Husky I have ever seen. You did great on both of the pups Soph. 🤍
Right! I always look forward to the vlogs coz of them tbh
I don't think you realize how much your content soooooothes and how much we love you! It is cinematic and relatable. I'm sure most of us live slower and more "mundane" lives since the pandemic so it is refreshing to see a youtube not doing the most. And just so you know, you are the quickest click i make on youtube. No other youtube I subscribe to you compares
I honestly always look forward to watching your videos there's something healing about it gets me through the week and that we're dealing with similar mental struggles..this is therapy for me too🤍
There is great value in watching someone live. There is beauty in the mundane; it's inspiring in its own right. Personally, I watch vlogs because it helps me feel connected and keeps me inspired in a way that is more attainable. Watching people constantly live exciting lives is fun and amusing, but it can easily feel so far-fetched to me.
They're just so relaxing and calming to watch. There's solace in these videos for me. I felt the same about the Wahlie vlogs too (even though I know they also started questioning them because they were 'repetitive').
The value of your videos is that you're not about "showing," but about "growing" and all that entails - ups, downs and everything in between. Your "secret sauce" is your relatability, your calm and your finding joy in simple things.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts. It definitely helps me in my life that I’m not alone in searching for a purpose and articulating a feeling that I’m going through. You have been an inspiration to keep pushing through these harder times. I hope you are well!
Oh my gosh this was sooo beautiful Sophie. I had never watched vloggers before I found you during pandemic. I agree with everyone else here: your visual eye, your calm and also joyful spirit, how you show not just the highlights but your processing - oh, and the coffee ;) - thank you for sharing your life with us and helping us romanticize our own.
Also, TAKE YO DARN TIME with each upload please!! I’m glad you’re finding a rhythm that honors how beautiful you want to make these. It truly shows!
Absolutely loved the intro of this video. Please know we love your monthly vlogs so much and always look forward for a new one. You are doing so great, so so great. Sending love and a big hug!
Really really really loved the intro to this video. Adding that context of like “reliving” when having to edit
There is always something very homey and soothing about these vlogs. For the days that I cannot make it outside my house, it's nice to follow you along your day. I always appreciate all of the visuals that you have in your vlog and your editing style is amazing.
I hope that you continue to feel motion and progress towards your goals and resolutions.
i truly love your videos because they give perspective into an older(than me) asian american, women which is not something i see very often. I feel like i don't see the perspective of other minorities in my life as often as i would like to. It's also just comforting, like listening to a friend, letting me not feel so alone all day. Also your videos give me inspiration and motivation, to clean or cook or take care of myself. idk, that's just my take on the value of your videos to me, but i feel like i'm probably not alone on that aspect.
I was in a mentally dark space where I didn't care to look after myself. I didn't care about anything. Your videos brought me much comfort from your honestly, vulnerability, and strength. The way you look after yourself with care and precision gave me hope that I can bounce back from anything in life. Slowly I began to make changes and I can say I'm in a much healthier mental state because of you. Life is hard, its not easy at all, so seeing someone like you suffer yet do such an amazing job of carrying the burden of life, is admirable. You get back up and keep trying. Perhaps idk the full picture, no one ever will on UA-cam; only you know yourself the best. Regardless I hope your visual diaries remind you of all the things you got through so when life hits you again (which it will for everyone) you can find strength to keep going. If one day you choose to stop UA-cam to protect your mental health, Ik the people that truly admire you will support you. Change is inevitable, until then I'm grateful I get the privilege to see life through your eyes and find comfort in the lessons I learn through you. Thank you for existing.
You turn mundane living into art. It’s really that simple.
loved seeing mama chang and robin in this one! and cinco is so precious 😍 when you were giggling with your trainer, it totally made me so happy to see you happy. we love and care so much for you girl - whether you make a vlog of you just sitting on the patio, or out-and-about going around town - we're here for it all ❤
Thank you for blessing us with your vlogs. I know it might seem like a lot of work but it’s so appreciated. I feel happy when I see a new upload from you since it’s not often. Been following you on UA-cam since 2016 and just catching a glimpse of your every day life makes me seem like I’m not alone w my daily activities. Thanks for sharing your parts of your life
your videos lighten me up Sophia. You motivate me to take care of my mind, body and home. im very grateful for you!
Thank you Sophia for allowing us to view your beautiful videos. I re-watch them so many times as I can relate to what you are going through. You are truly loved. x
You’re influencing, challenging, enlightening, and gifting someone every time with your energy and presence… it does matter no matter how small
I think one thing that I really enjoy about your videos is after following you for so long it feels like a check in with an old school friend. It's really nice to see someone grow and show their highs and lows. It feels grounding in a world that is so loud, chaotic, and honestly sometimes rude. I like seeing when you stretch your creative muscle and get cool shots. Grow as you do.
I love your videos more and more! These "mundane" days are what I can connect to every single moment of my day especially having some things in common - being single, living alone, improving my mental and physical health. I was not aware of the long edits and I am appreciating your vlogs more and more.
You put in the work and it shows. I AM here for the highs, lows, and the in betweens. Girl we love you and your content. You've got our support.
Something struck me when you said “ a week is not enough time to deliver my best work”. We put timelines on ourselves all the time, when even diamonds take thousands of years to form. Love received, overjoyed to be a part of this community with you.
Love every single details, the boxing, the berry wash, and hearing your podcast.
I have enjoyed watching your therapy journey. As someone who also has grown and learned a new side of their self I appreciate how you open up even if it’s just a little about your experience with talking to someone
I don’t think you get how precious you are. You give us the reason to watch UA-cam. Everything is so raw and real. I personally love watching your vlogs and you have the best editing in the game. 🥲🥹your editing is peak
I stand by you Sophie, no matter you upload monthly or what, I will always look forward to your videos as it calms me as well! Take your time to heal, live life!
I love your look out montages ❤ you add value by being a real relatable beautiful soul. So many people find peace in seeing how beautiful the simple moments of your life are, and it's a reminder of the beauty in the simple moments of ours
I struggle with anxiety and constantly overthink sometimes i find it hard to turn my brain off and just relax. And i Can say wholeheartedly your videos bring me that peace and for that i want to say thank you.
Hey Sophia! You ask how you add value to people? Personally you are definitely an inspiration in many ways to my life. I’ve been watching your videos and not been feeling my best but your videos bring so much peace and comfort to me. Not only that but your videos have been motivating me to try new things and even in making a career switch. Thank you for putting yourself out there even in your most vulnerable moments. You are so strong. I truly admire/value that from you.♥️
Your videos inspire me to take care of myself more. I just graduated university and I'm excited to follow your footsteps in taking care of myself and giving more attention to the important things in life: family.
These videos are so breathtakingly beautiful. I’ve never seen this much effort put into editing and filming. The quality really shows. I have to say, coming out of a ten year toxic relationship I look for just about anything on UA-cam to fill the silence, and your videos have touched a part of me that I can’t explain. I feel safe here. Hope you and yours are well, Soph. ✨
I love your vlogs. It’s exactly what you said. It doesn’t matter what you do or if it is the same. We like you, your thoughts, your way of filming and editing. It’s very calming and relatable in many ways.
omg your mom cracks me up so much. loved this vid sophia! your 'mundane' videos are so so inspiring to many. don't forget that! xo
we may not be going through the same thing, but i feel you through your visual diaries and i feel comforted every single time. keep doing you
Hi Sophie, I want to share that I’ve been following you for quite some time now, and you feel like a friend to me where I care about your well-being and happiness.
I don’t go on UA-cam often anymore though just due to my lifestyle, but when I do watch your videos I do feel so happy and can just go on and on and on watching them! I hope you are doing well ❤️
your vlogs make me feel like home and you are so inspiring. the way you capture these simple moments and make them look beautiful, it's so special! love you soph 🤍
I love your videos. They are the best - so aesthetic and calming. I am happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself and listening to what you need. Slowing down is one of the hardest things to do these days.
Sophia, I have seen a hundred workout montages from you and I still get excited about every.single.one.
I love you videos! I'm turning 30 in a few months and you've expressed so many thoughts I've had, many things my friends don't feel comfortable discussing. Your videos have been a comfort to me during this time.
I love these types of videos. Your gym montages inspire me to actually go to the gym and be healthier. Believe it or not but you are truly the dream.
I enjoy such slow living vlogs because it reminds me to find joy in the mundane, the littlest things like watching the dogs play, getting stronger from exercising, eating a yummy meal 🥰
I will say for me you give me the motivation to get up and workout, or the comfort knowing i am not alone when it comes to anxiety and depression, or the new song to listen to from your video.
you are my favorite on here i feel so much comfort and joy when i watch your vlogs
also i am not sure if you have read “atomic habits” but if not add it to your list! it’s amazing!
I hope you get to read this message throughout all these beautiful ones as well, but you really make my day when you upload, I know what it feels like to live a mundane life, but I always manage to find the small things each and everyday to enjoy and cherish, after all the moments never come back. Anyway thanks for these beautiful 17 min you shared with us. You’re so strong and so beautiful inside and out. I love how authentic you are. Never lose sight of that, sometimes what you don’t see in yourself, others find so interesting and inspiring. You’re amazing Sophia ❤️ remember there will be a time you look back at this time and find the meaning to it all. Love ya!
I was going through the worst period of my life and couldn't stomach watching those upbeat, happy, perfect vlogs - I needed an escape which just felt easy and calm, something gentle on the spirit. Your vlogs were it for me. I felt a little moment of rest when I'd tune in, and well I've never left. It's easy to be here, away from the noise and constant change. So thank you, Sophia.
Okay no this is next level!!!!! Wow 😍 the edit! creativity, the MUNDANE content which I absolutely love you have no idea!! Just amazing Sophia, truly amazing! ❤️
Soph - your life doesn’t feel mundane. Maybe it’s just because I’m in a season of life that’s chaotic and hard, but your videos feel rhythmic and routine to me. That’s not a bad thing! It’s comforting and feels like that first trip home from college where you remember the peace that comes with familiar, routine spaces that you so badly wanted away from. Thank you for inviting us into your normalcy. It feels peaceful here with you.
This reminds me of growing up in the 90s, late night drives, listening to Delilah’s soothing voice on the radio. Nostalgic and comforting.
I haven't watched your videos in a long time but I love this. In the last few years I've really slowed down too so this content really relaxes.
Loved this one Soph! That convo with your mom and sister was so relatable
Soph you have no idea how awesome your content is and it's so freaking visually pleasing I genuinely always get so excited everytime you release a video so don't ever doubt yourself!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️
You're videos are beyond vlogs~
Quality is another level. Thanks for a glimpse into your creative genius ❤️
Yes! Sophia, you should definitely start a podcast! I would totally listen to it!!
the opening sequence with the Final Cut Pro transition and podcast bit wow 🤌💫
Just started on this journey with you. The last shot says it all. We are all Buddahhs ! Trying, Living, learning, knowing, loving. xo
It's your consistency and commitment to a healthy lifestyle. But like with the most stylish editing and design. Love your content! Love you Sophia!
i don't think i could ever get sick of your videos. i get how a lot of vloggers lately get sick of creating the same thing and think their audience feels the same way. but i just think you do this vlog youtube thing so well. your editing style and vision when creating a vlog and the energy you have is just so enjoyable. you are a beautiful soul! i think you have a really special connection with your audience and i feel like you're my friend hanging out with you every time you upload lol. you've been my favorite youtuber for a decade now and you are a source of inspiration and comfort for me. :') just now realizing how influential you have been to me :o i'm always rooting for you and thank you for always working hard to create these masterpieces and sharing your life.
