“Her success is not proof that you’re losing. Her success if proof that it’s possible.” A quote I always try to keep in mind when I find myself caught in the negativity of comparison.
"you can look at them and see all of these amazing opportunities that they've achieved, and use that to light a fire under your own ass so you go on to achieve amazing things" - Carrie Hope Fletcher 2k18
I sent a letter back in 2014 with an Ecuadorian bag and two weeks ago I got my reply. To be honest for the first 2 years I just thought that I'd never get a reply and later I just forgot. So it was lovely when I got my mail and suddenly there was an envelope with a dragon and a Carrie stamp. It totally made my day. So if you are still waiting, don't worry it's worth it. And to Carrie, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to each letter :) Have a great day!
It really is a shame that now a days influencers and the like have to put a disclosure and say 'this is not sponsored, I am not being paid to say this' etc etc etc. Great video Carrie, your part of the internet is full of love, happiness and positivity, and I love watching and listening to you, you are an amazing human being, there should definitely be more Carrie Hope Fletcher's in the world. Wishing you luck for the Heathers tour. Hope you have a great weekend xxxxxx
@@imogenna_Yes, I agree with you, and if it is a sponsored ad, then they say so, so they shouldn't have to say it's Not sponsored when it's not, only say if it is sponsored if it is. So if nothing gets said, then we know it's not an ad, well that's what I think anyway, +carrie hope fletcher what do you think? xxx
I've been having a bit of a Carrie-binge today and it's exactly what I needed. You're just so wonderfully pleasant and your positivity is contagious. Thank you for sharing little bits and pieces of your life - you're an inspiration!
Adore the blue and green dresses on you. The little dance you did following was the one you did for the video when you house sat for Tom and Gi years ago (one of my fav vid's).
Your section on Envy in the video was great. I went through a very bad stage of jealous and envy of a couple of friends and that was because I was had no confidence and a rubbish place. I’ve even removed myself from social networks sites, so I wouldn’t see how amazing there lives were compared to mine. I love my friends to bits and I’m lucky to have them and I’ve now changed and things are better but I do still get jealous (which I guess is normal) but the way you described it made so much sense. Anyone out there who gets jealous etc just remember your time will come and don’t give up.
Your legs from the waist down were sore... do you have any other legs?? Is this a confession that you have an extra leg that's sticking out your back or something OOH MAYBE IT'S A FLETCHER FAMILY GENETIC ABNORMALITY AND IT'S ACTUALLY THE SOURCE OF YOUR INSANE AMOUNTS OF TALENT!
i still can't believe i was there. It was a dream come true to meet you (again!) and the rest of the fantastic people involved! You are amazing and thank you
Ahhh Alex is so happy to have mention in your vlog. You make him so happy on his bad days your videos, pictures and memories of meeting you help him through it
Thank you Carrie.. I needed that good kick up the arse reminder to focus on my road, rather than focusing on other people's roads all the time! Comparing myself to others all the time is not a positive or productive thing to do - I am the one in my car, going on this journey. I always enjoy watching your videos - we need more of your positivity on the internet and in the world!
I'm currently autoplaying your entire channel while I recover from my sinus infection (no singing for me) and you lift my mood so much! I love your little inspirational talks ❤️
Your advice about finding the characters was so spot-on. When I was in a local production of Les Mis, our Javert had played the part in a different production. It was incredibly difficult to get him to re-find the character with us, because he was so dead-set on recreating the character from the other production. Finally, he realized it just wasn't working and he started reacting to the rest of the cast better (though the habit didn't seem to break entirely). It made the show less jarring, for sure!
Body image and that - Hearing you voice your concerns about your body and only talking about its performance and health. It's admirable, demonstrates a healthy attitude, I think. Go you, Carrie x
The concert was sooo good!! I absolutely loved it! You’re all super talented and I felt so proud looking at all your lovely smiley photos in the programme and listening to your incredible voices! Thanks for entertaining us so well!! ☺️
Carrie, I am so glad you said that bit about following your own road. I decided to take summer courses this year and I feel like I'm constantly comparing myself to my friends who aren't in school and are having fun in the sunshine! I really needed to hear what you said. It felt like a splash of cold water in my face to remind me of my priorities. Thank you, thank you, thank you. xoxo
"the smallest flat in the world" i look around me and realise my flat is only one room : my kitchen, living space and bedroom are combined in a single room. Haha I have a long way to go... but I'm lucky enough to have a roof !
Your rant on jealousy mirrors the fortune cookie you showed us: "jealousy is a useless emotion" Loved the new clothes from Apricot, especially the blue off-shoulder dress
You stunner!!! Apricot is actually awesome! Loved this vlog sm and I’m so happy you liked the book, Jodi loved making it for you! Ahhh! See you in Heathers! Xxxx
Carrie, I recently started watching a lot of your videos (I come from Adam Hattan's channel) and I have to say you are one of the most positive and inspiring people I have ever had the privilege of watching. Recently I have been down about the road I am on vs the road I see other people on, and your perspective really opened my eyes. I thank you for being a light and a positive voice in the back of my brain recently. Please continue making this incredible content, you have no idea how many lives you touch.
Concentrating on your own track in life, is so important, but so hard to do sometimes. Very good advice. (I also love the characters finding you, rather than you finding the character. One of my favorite things about acting)
Really wonderful video Carrie! Thanks also for the piece about comparing to others and envy! That was something I really connected with that I'd like to share why- I haven't been lucky enough to have been cast in anything so far in the musical theatre society at university when friends of mine have and I've gone 'what did I get so wrong' and 'was I so bad at my audition?' but I was lucky enough to join the production team of those shows! and I realised that I was still part of it and being a green monster wasn't going to do anything but take me somewhere that I'd struggle to come back from! People have said to me that they look to me for positivity when get in and dress rehearsals are stressful and they're not feeling so mentally okay as they could be; which feels so so humbling. I still have hope for the future
You getting night-before butterflies before rehearsals for Heathers gave me butterflies too. I love Heathers and I will be living vicariously through you during your journey of being Veronica
I am absolutely LOVING your makeup look! And all of you are so so so talented - I can't stand it (honestly all of you are goals for my musical theatre career).
13.25 carrie agressively air-steering a metaphorical car is now my new visual for this concept of focusing on your own success. Whenever I feel envious, this is the image I'm gonna use to get myself back on track
(seeing as veronica sawyer is my absolute dream role I'm very much having to use it right now watching you talk about playing the part hahahaha but I'm obviously very happy for you aaah you're gonna be such a good veronica I can't wait to see it in the summer!!!!!)
Just an idea! It would be lovely to see like an introduction to Heathers themed video as I haven't ever heard of it until now! I gave it a quick google but it would be great to hear more about it from you! As many people have heard of The Adams family and Les Mis but this one maybe is a bit unique! (Idk maybe I just haven't heard of it lol )
Hi Carrie! I've been following you on UA-cam for years now and I just wanted to tell you I admire your personality and your work a lot. Watching your vlogs while writing my thesis has really been a motivation lately so thank you! Good luck with Heathers and all of your projects! xoxo ❤️
I agree about the road thing you were talking about in the video, I tend to not look at social media now, just focus on myself and the path I'm on. Right now I'm feel down and depressed, have given up, don't know what to do anymore. Good luck for Heather's and enjoy.
Your so amazing Carrie hope fletcher and love watching your videos they make me smile and what you say about jealousy is so Wright and coming from a fellow performer means a lot keep being you and amazingxxxx
Josephine Amy Bakewell if you look back on her Les Mis vlogs, a lot of them show her and the cast warming up together! Someone’s made a whole playlist of them, I think it’s called Carrie’s Theatre Vlogs or something like that!
You know when you've got something exciting happening but you can't tell anyone? Well no one knows that I write but I've just finished a chapter that I'm really proud of and wanted to tell someone. So yeah, I've done something that I'm proud of!
I love seeing a vlog from a show that I was at! And what a wonderful show it was, every one of you was so enchanting to watch. I'm so excited to see Heathers next month!
I've never been able to see Carrie live but i hope that one day i can. Heathers is great music and a different type of role for her.....you'll be great carrie!
My uni just put on a production of Heathers! It's such a fun time, and the script is phenomenal. I hope you have a wonderful time putting on the show, because we sure did!
Another lovely video Carrie!! I also really admire what you said about envy, sometimes I feel like that and it’s important to know that everyone has their path and everything happens for a reason. Quick question - you look GORGEOUS from 10:30 onwards (I mean you look gorgeous in every part of the video, I just really love that look!) where is your “Give Me Space” too from? And the dark blue NASA top you have? I’ve been looking for one for ages! P.S. I’m so excited for you as Veronica, mama you are going to KILL IT!!

Tom & Buzz......Oh my heart!
Celinde and Eva noblezada and Carrie just make me happy
Awww, the bit when Buzz hugs Tom! Your nephews are the cutest! Xx
Comparison is the thief of joy
An 18 min Carrie vlog. After a long day at work? yes please. you sounded exquisite
The car and road analogy is just, 👏👏👏👏... thank you. ♥️
Damn that driving metaphor about sticking on your own road, that really hit hard and made me think. Thank you Carrie
It really is a shame that now a days influencers and the like have to put a disclosure and say 'this is not sponsored, I am not being paid to say this' etc etc etc.
Great video Carrie, your part of the internet is full of love, happiness and positivity, and I love watching and listening to you, you are an amazing human being, there should definitely be more Carrie Hope Fletcher's in the world.
Wishing you luck for the Heathers tour.
Hope you have a great weekend xxxxxx
I think in the UK they legally have to say whether something is an advertisement or sponsored content xx
@@imogenna_Yes, I agree with you, and if it is a sponsored ad, then they say so, so they shouldn't have to say it's Not sponsored when it's not, only say if it is sponsored if it is. So if nothing gets said, then we know it's not an ad, well that's what I think anyway, +carrie hope fletcher what do you think? xxx
I agree! Being healthy on tour is sooo difficult. I’m on tour in Italy at the moment and I just want to eat all the pasta and consume all the wine!
Had a cry when my drawing of Carrie showed in the video! ❤️
The girl of the songs which one is it??
Bai Hutton It’s the one at 2:35, based on Carrie’s picture from her album ❤️😊
When Tom shows Buzz and Buddy beauty and the beast clip that is literally the best moment of the entire video
Can’t wait to see u as Veronica Carrie your gonna smash it 💚
I just have to say that I absolutely loved the metaphor with your own road and watching other people on their roads. It's just so true!
I've been having a bit of a Carrie-binge today and it's exactly what I needed. You're just so wonderfully pleasant and your positivity is contagious. Thank you for sharing little bits and pieces of your life - you're an inspiration!
Carrie is a really good role model, everything about her life and how lovely she is and how she's stayed true to herself all this time is so inspiring

Anna Zoe haven’t got to this part yet but this comment made me howl 😂😂😂😂
Lizzie Dean Makes I'm very glad 😂 x
I did question in my head also that from the waist down is her whole leg... isn't it?! 🙊
Your road and car analogy is so inspirational and it’s such a wonderful way to view people.
The "give me space" shirt is PERFECTION
i still can't believe i was there. It was a dream come true to meet you (again!) and the rest of the fantastic people involved! You are amazing and thank you
I started getting vibes from the old advice videos at the 12 minute mark and it literally warmed my spirit
I love what you said at the end of this video about finding individuality in the characters. That is so important to making a show come to life!
Ahhh Alex is so happy to have mention in your vlog. You make him so happy on his bad days your videos, pictures and memories of meeting you help him through it
These are my 4 favourite musical theatre ladies!! Xx
Thank you Carrie.. I needed that good kick up the arse reminder to focus on my road, rather than focusing on other people's roads all the time!

I'm currently autoplaying your entire channel while I recover from my sinus infection (no singing for me) and you lift my mood so much! I love your little inspirational talks ❤️
It’s amazing how the universe works out. Thanks for the little motivational blurb, Honorary Big Sister. It was really needed. 💕
I’ve been dealing with heavy feelings about life in general for quite some time...then Carrie gives me a pep talk. ❤️❤️ So proud to. be a Hopeful.
I was part of the book!!! Eek. I felt so happy when you mentioned it!! Also I can't get Colours of the Wind out of my head now.
Tom proudly showing his kids that "auntie Carrie" is singing beauty and the beast was beautiful
Omg when "colors of the wind" was being sung, I almost cry. I'm so sad I didn't get to see that live, the whole show looked amazing :(
WORK THOSE CLOTHES!!!! Look gorgeous Xxx
What you said about comparing yourself to others was exactly what I needed to hear right now.
Your advice about finding the characters was so spot-on. When I was in a local production of Les Mis, our Javert had played the part in a different production. It was incredibly difficult to get him to re-find the character with us, because he was so dead-set on recreating the character from the other production.

Body image and that - Hearing you voice your concerns about your body and only talking about its performance and health. It's admirable, demonstrates a healthy attitude, I think.
Go you, Carrie x
Your legs from the waist down Carrie? .. instead of the legs that are from your waist up? Loved this vlog ..watching after a gruelling as exam Xx
Izzy Bradley I hope that the exam went well.
The concert was sooo good!! I absolutely loved it! You’re all super talented and I felt so proud looking at all your lovely smiley photos in the programme and listening to your incredible voices! Thanks for entertaining us so well!! ☺️
Felt the need for some "Full Disclosure" jazz hands for your espresso machine.
JoGirl. I started singing the song when that came up 😂
Celinde is so unbelievably beautiful I can‘t even..
Carrie, I am so glad you said that bit about following your own road. I decided to take summer courses this year and I feel like I'm constantly comparing myself to my friends who aren't in school and are having fun in the sunshine! I really needed to hear what you said. It felt like a splash of cold water in my face to remind me of my priorities. Thank you, thank you, thank you. xoxo
Plant Nanny is a great app to get you to drink...you grow little plants by logging your water consumption 😊
"the smallest flat in the world"
i look around me and realise my flat is only one room : my kitchen, living space and bedroom are combined in a single room. Haha I have a long way to go... but I'm lucky enough to have a roof !
lolaborious That's exactly what I thought! I lived in a small one room apartment for 2 years happily 😅
Aine D To be honest I love it, it's cosy haha
Your rant on jealousy mirrors the fortune cookie you showed us: "jealousy is a useless emotion"
Loved the new clothes from Apricot, especially the blue off-shoulder dress
You stunner!!! Apricot is actually awesome! Loved this vlog sm and I’m so happy you liked the book, Jodi loved making it for you! Ahhh! See you in Heathers! Xxxx
Carrie I love your channel. You made me realize that I can be a stage actress and live comfortable, thank you for everything you do
I've said it before, but her videos always make me so happy! Lots of love from Canada, you've got this!!
I saw Bradley Jaden and my jaw dropped. Dropped.
Carrie, I recently started watching a lot of your videos (I come from Adam Hattan's channel) and I have to say you are one of the most positive and inspiring people I have ever had the privilege of watching.

Carrie’s vlogs are the very definition of happiness and joy. ❤️

Oh my gosh, when the trio of ladies started harmonizing 'Colors of the Wind' I got CHILLS! They are incredible ♡
You getting night-before butterflies before rehearsals for Heathers gave me butterflies too. I love Heathers and I will be living vicariously through you during your journey of being Veronica
I am absolutely LOVING your makeup look! And all of you are so so so talented - I can't stand it (honestly all of you are goals for my musical theatre career).
That analogy about following your own path being like driving a car - WHAT a brilliant metaphor to describe it! Love it! Loved this vlog, Carrie. ^__^
I can't wait for rehearsal vlogs!!💛❤️💚💙
Magic of Animation was incredible and it was so wonderful meeting you xx
OMG I can't wait to see you performing seventeen!!!!
13.25 carrie agressively air-steering a metaphorical car is now my new visual for this concept of focusing on your own success. Whenever I feel envious, this is the image I'm gonna use to get myself back on track

Sophie Grace Watch the movie!! It's insane xD
Sophie Grace Omg! I think you're going to really enjoy the musical! 😊
If your interested the original cast of the show is on UA-cam full show, absolutely love it highly recommend watching it
EVA NOBLEZADAAAAAAA I genuinely screamed when I saw her
Hi Carrie! I've been following you on UA-cam for years now and I just wanted to tell you I admire your personality and your work a lot. Watching your vlogs while writing my thesis has really been a motivation lately so thank you! Good luck with Heathers and all of your projects! xoxo ❤️
So glad you liked the book xxx
You are a very talented young lady.
THIS! ALL OF THIS! No time for negativity ✌🏼🌻
eva!!!! my love!!!!
Always enjoy watching you're vlogs💙
Carrie in all that you do your amazing and we may not all be perfect but your something special x
I agree about the road thing you were talking about in the video, I tend to not look at social media now, just focus on myself and the path I'm on. Right now I'm feel down and depressed, have given up, don't know what to do anymore. Good luck for Heather's and enjoy.
Im so excited to see your adventure with this character!! 💕
Your so amazing Carrie hope fletcher and love watching your videos they make me smile and what you say about jealousy is so Wright and coming from a fellow performer means a lot keep being you and amazingxxxx
This has just further cemented my view that Rob Houchen is an absolute dream 😍
At some point would you be able to show us how you do your vocal warmup? I've got a mediocre singing voice, and I'm trying to improve.
Josephine Amy Bakewell if you look back on her Les Mis vlogs, a lot of them show her and the cast warming up together! Someone’s made a whole playlist of them, I think it’s called Carrie’s Theatre Vlogs or something like that!
Jhelisa C Thanks, I'll have a look for it.
You are an inspiration - I want ‘Focus in your own road’ on a t-shirt or framed print ❤️
You know when you've got something exciting happening but you can't tell anyone? Well no one knows that I write but I've just finished a chapter that I'm really proud of and wanted to tell someone. So yeah, I've done something that I'm proud of!
carrie ♡ YOU MAKE ME HAPPYYYYY. thank you for always being so bright and genuine. (:
Eva Noblezada, Celinde and Carrie in the same room on video?!? I am complete! ❤️
PS CARRIE YOU ARE DIVINE AND KEEP DOING YOUR AMAZING INDIVIDUAL VIBE AND SINGING WITH YOUR ANGELIC VOICE MY DARLING DEAR
I'm just sitting here trying to eat breakfast but now Celinde is singing Disney and I'm crying
Love this whole video! Lovely mix of types of shots. ❤️❤️❤️
I actually ate at that pret right after seeing your amazing performance in March 💕😊
I love seeing a vlog from a show that I was at! And what a wonderful show it was, every one of you was so enchanting to watch.
I'm so excited to see Heathers next month!
3:45 BRADLEEEEEEEEEY! And I just noticed that it was in fact Eva Noblezada in the video at the exact same time
carrie you make me so happy your vlogs and your personality is everything i just wanted to say keep it up because i love you and thank you
Can't wait to see you absolutely smash another character!
I've never been able to see Carrie live but i hope that one day i can. Heathers is great music and a different type of role for her.....you'll be great carrie!
My uni just put on a production of Heathers! It's such a fun time, and the script is phenomenal. I hope you have a wonderful time putting on the show, because we sure did!
I'm so excited for you!!! Can't wait to follow you on this new journey! :)
I can’t wait to come and see Heathers! I got tickets for my birthday! I’m very excited! Xxx
When possible would love a cover of dead girl walking, literally one of my favourite songs from a musical , such a bad ass female song! ❤️
amazing vlog you look beautiful and such an adorable moment in the vlog when Tom with Buzz and Buddy watching you perform
Carrie, I can'y believe how quickly your hair has grown! Did you use anything special to promote hair growth? Love you so much
Another lovely video Carrie!! I also really admire what you said about envy, sometimes I feel like that and it’s important to know that everyone has their path and everything happens for a reason. Quick question - you look GORGEOUS from 10:30 onwards (I mean you look gorgeous in every part of the video, I just really love that look!) where is your “Give Me Space” too from? And the dark blue NASA top you have? I’ve been looking for one for ages! P.S. I’m so excited for you as Veronica, mama you are going to KILL IT!!
Awwwwwwww I'm gonna miss the hopeful house, it seems so familiar ❤️
