that was too much. 💚🌿 yet - it's a future of unrelentingly stubborn optimistim, delight, and stories

- That sucked. It ward hard. It was too much. And I've handled a lot of life's worst punches without it taking so long to get back on my feet before.
After over ten years tossing videos onto UA-cam while mostly meandering around stories and nature and chattering to myself with varying levels of unconscious excitement and delight...
... trust me. I've got A LOT of thoughts about what it means to share stories of all aspects of the moments we've lived through - be that in person, between friends, between who we consider family, privately, publicly, super publicly online, permanently through leaving a digital gallery of our thoughts and experiences, etc.
I've A LOT of thoughts about who really benefits from that from the good side of showing resilience and hope to the very shadowed bad side of "what does it rob us ALL of putting actual authenticity next to ads?"
... in the end, I asked myself this question: What does it mean to really live by what I care about? What would it ACTUALLY look like to create the world I claim to myself and others I want to build together? What really matters?
... the answer I found is still so simple I want to keep poking it with a stick and being sure it works. But it does.
What I do here for all of us, as Seri, really can be That Simple. I truly love story-telling. I love immersive gameplay in video game worlds. I love excitedly yeeting together random animal genetics and getting some kind of horrifyingly adorable result and laughing with delight about it.
I actually, truly, really do love this world we're all sharing right this very second like right now if you had super vision and looked out your window we might be able to wave to each other kinda world, your reality and mine are linked along with everything else alive so... hi!
With how INTENSE things can feel - (tldr: I've dozens of hours worth of talking of thoughts about this that are only magnified by having married an actual professor of philosophy and history) - the easy, simple, gentle, playful, harmless answer can seem like it is... not enough.
But with the sum of my entire life of experience across almost four decades now? I think it is.
At least, for here. At least, for the actual emotional, casual, simple, gentle, playful, curious, delighted, joyful, meandering, peaceful, playfully and mostly accidentally occasionally chaotic, leafy, laughing, enduring way that I want... here... to be for all of us.
Because perhaps now more than ever - at least in my life - a space like that has immeasurable value.
So that was a lot. I hope the intensity, depth, and absolute whatever-a-soul-is-it-was-that-deep crafting of myself and my life as it stands that I had to do will play out perhaps not so much in direct ways...
... but that you'll get so see and perhaps benefit from that resilience and stubborn, patient, enduring belief that whatever we're building here with gentle, meandering, silly stories and chasing after flickers of delight and curiosity in that ridiculously beautiful and complex world of ours... matters.
Because I can't think of anything that would truly give me more hope in being able to accomplish anything in this world - like the really big, hard things that make all our lives better - than... creating a space where things really can be that laid back and easy. That imperfect. Messy. Silly. Playful.
Places like that give us the space to rest a while content in ourselves.
Whatever that looks like, here, in the end... my greatest goal is that there will at least be one place in the world - especially the very loud, seemingly competitive world associated with "being on UA-cam" - where you can see at least one person quietly going around their projects in a way that is healthy, playful, and content with themselves.
I've actually had all numbers blocked on UA-cam for a little over a year now. I don't see what views videos get, including mine. I don't see sub counts on any channel, including mine. Every social media platform that exists is blocked in our home. I forget my phone is anything more than a device to take guinea pig pictures. Seriously.
I mention all that to say... I mean it. Whatever you see here will not be reflected on the numbers. I have no goals around them. Because they don't matter. Not in the way that you matter to me. Not in the way that I want to build my world to matter to myself.
So whatever happens here... it will just be influenced by the silly, simple, delightful answers I've found to why life matters and can be fun.
An answer to "why?" that is so... humble and simple that I doubt anyone but my beloved husband would truly understand the depths of what I mean.
But I'm excited. I'll do my best to show it to all of us as I build up what I believe in - no matter how silly or experimental - story by story.
Thank you.
🌿💚 Stay curious. Aloha. 💚🌿
I’m 17, turning 18 this year. I have watched and loved your content, all of it, and *you* for at least a decade. My life has had many ups and even more downs. I’ve had people hurt me, and I know that they’ve been hurt, too. Lord have been told and many truths have come out. It’s really, really hard to remain you. I will never blame anyone for feeling like they are not being themselves. We love you, Serii, and Sage- what we know of Sage, at least, because you are so free to keep that part of you private- and Chips and your Guinea pig(s). Life is hard, but to some extent things will change, and I hope you know that I, at least, will always be here.
I’m 18 I’m on a similar boat to you. Much love to you ❤
You’ve raised me. You’ve raised a whole generation of kids and adults who actually care about the world. Who know about the world and want to help it. I’m the type of person who will go out of my way to clean up trash out of a stream because that’s what you’ve taught me. You single handily raised a generation of people who will be apart of fixing this world. So everything you do has meaning, it does.
I felt this.. I truly connect with these videos (they give me stimmies >w
Thank you so much for making such a healthy and calm environment on UA-cam.. I get sick of seeing all these people yell and make excessive inappropriate jokes and comments… this has been an AMAZING 11 years.. thank you so so much, from the bottom of my heart!
Wait, I didn’t have enough time to watch all of it, did she say she was quitting?
@@Tries_To_Draw nope!(thank goodness, haha) she’s just being more transparent on why she isn’t finishing all of her series, and who she is and her mental and what’s going on behind the screen… sorry if I made it sound like that…
@@Sle3pingCloudz okay Thankyou for clarifying!
Seri/Sage.
As a 30-something year old woman going through a lot, to a 30-something years old woman going through a lot:
You deserve to be happy. You gave us wonderful things and stories and life experiences, but you need to prioritize yourself as a person over anything else. I wish you all the best in everything that the future will bring 😊
I am 31yo. I’ve watched you from probably the beginning. I’ve always wondered how you went through life happy and as in-love with nature as you are. There were times I tried to emulate you because I just don’t feel that much. I am thankful that you are showing yourself to us, even if you don’t know who you are, we see it. Thank you.
Thank you for being here Seri, I hope you as Sage can go on to have a fulfilling and wonderful life. Take time and care with yourself, we're all wishing you the best. I hope the too much-ness can subside and you're able to regain yourself & your sense of value.
your content shaped my little kid brain so tremendously that, still today, nature and storytelling are among the most important parts of my life. your queer support was also very, very important to me. i was, like, eight when i started watching your stuff, and now i finish high school next year! you're mega ms frizzle! you've left a wonderful impact on so many young, creative souls; people who also doubt and fear and struggle with themselves and their lives.
you're not weak or bad for feeling years of work and heartache weighing down on you, especially with the state of the world today. you deserve as much kindness, privacy, and healing as any person, and it's difficult to believe any of us disbelieve that (the nagging is usually from very little, unware kids - i was one of them!).
you don't need to justify yourself to an audience of (essentially) strangers. i'm glad you're still finding love in so much of the world around you! i'm so happy a person who has helped me so much is finding herself in a better place! i'm sorry you've gone through so much. healing is messy and nonlinear; i'm wishing you and your family a warm future ahead!
as the expectations of my life crush my chest, i've returned to your old niche stories - but i'm so excited to see the new stories you nurture ahead!
Hi Seri, I am almost 19 it feels like yesterday that I was watching Zoo Crafting. I appreciate you and know I can always watch your videos and it brightens my days. We are all here for you. I appreciate you being you and being transparent with us. Take your time healing takes a long time and it is a lot of trial and error. We are here for you and appreciate all that you have done for us.❤
Heck, Seri you’re gonna make me cry. I’ve said it many times and I’ll continue to say it, you’re truly an amazing person. No matter what, that is true. You don’t need to ask for forgiveness, and honestly I don’t think many if any of us can completely understand your situation. But here’s what I understand, you’ve gone through something unimaginable hard… earth shattering as some might say. Yet, … yet here you are. Here you are trying, successfully I might say, to put your self back together in a way that feels.. true. Here you are still creating and sharing these adventures with us (though that might mostly be for money and sustainability).
Yes, you do matter. There’s an entire discord server that Your community has created that proves so. You and your adventures have affected countless people to seek joy and curiosity. To help this wonderful world of ours. To spread kindness. … As long as your adventures exist, 12k of them Heck!, they will continue to do so.
Whatever the adventures you take us on we will be there to support you. And honestly I think a lot of us owe you an apology, of sorts, I mean- why is it that this community is just full of introverts like heck. Im personally trying to do better and commenting and liking other comments.
Im rambling here Seri. We love you, we always will. We do what we can to support you and your pursuit of joy and curiosity. And it just makes me so sad that this whole scenario has taken place which has caused you to doubt yourself and the joy in this world.
…..
My favorite animals are the Orca and Snow Leopard. My favorite flower is the double hibiscus. And I love all Dinos, though my favorite in terms of their name is the Archaeopteryx. It’s pronounced Archaeopteryx, though you can say it however you like.
Your faithful supporter, Thunder (Lord Thunder)
P.S. if a snippet of this video is related to the news I mentioned in the discord plz say so, I can’t help but feel like it is. Heck
The fact that the ladybug landed on you shows that you are going to have a very lucky life❤
Hi Seri, I've been following ever since I was a little kid. I am a couple years into my college studies now and I still find myself lingering around your videos. The stories you have told are timeless. They are forever solidified in my brain and are something that has shaped me for the better. The impact your love and creativity has brought to the world is beyond my words. When my life was hard it was always a beautiful thing to take a break and immerse myself in stories and be excited to see a new video pop up on my feed from you. You still inspire me, and it is absolutely correct to live simple. Take all the time to be yourself you deserve patience and love from this community every step of the way.
hello! not sure if you or anyone will see this comment but I truly just want to say thank you for everything! i have watched your videos since i was 8, and I’m turning 19 very soon!
I can’t begin to explain how many happy memories you and your channel have given me. I remember the excitement of coming home from school to see what you have posted, or the comfort your videos brought me whenever i got sick or had a cold. I remember sharing with my teachers the really cool amazing facts and information that you shared with us in videos and it always made me feel so proud. Even recently when life felt truly unbearable for a few years, you and your videos got me through everything.
To be honest I totally get what it’s like to not really “know yourself” or feel 100% myself, but the best advice I try to tell myself is that, when you feel lost, there will always be someone who can remind you who you are. And they will do this by your side until you can see yourself for the beautiful self you are inside and out.
No matter what happens in the future, I will always treasure the time and joy this channel has given past me, and present me.
Maybe it’s weird but when I’ve bee totally alone, you have felt like a distant friend who I can share old memories with.
Thank you for creating one of my safest spaces.
Wishing the best for you always!

Seri, i think you’ve inspired me to be an ecologist when I graduate and become an “adult.” I know it won’t be the same experience as you felt but I do understand not remembering parts of the past years and wanting to understand why the world is so… cruel sometimes. You’ve been part of my life since I was like 6 and you sparked something of that question many people ask young kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?” And I really do think I know (at least sorta) because of /you/.
We love you Seri, you are so important to us. Thank you for sharing this, I hope to see you on more adventures.
Out of all the content you have put out over my years of being part of your community, these are my favorite kinds of videos. I am so sorry that life has been too much for you Sage. I appreciate the strength it takes to acknowledge and admit that. I love your videos to come to be entertained, but these videos always make me feel like I can connect to you a lot more. Thank you for still trying to be Seri for us here, even when it was most difficult.
Seri! Whatever you choose. It’s YOUR choice! No one else’s. Do whatever makes you happiest 🙂. We all will understand. I enjoy watching your videos. They were calming to watch when I want to take a break from the chaotic videos. I always look forward to them 😁.
I turned 20 this year and I have been following your channel since I was in the 4th grade. I basically grew up watching your videos thank you
Hey Seri, I have been with you for a Long time and I am stunned that I didn't know you had gotten engaged or even that you had gotten married. I Am so happy for you! I recently got engaged myself and I started watching your video while I was on the phone with my fiance and I started squealing because I was so excited for you. He asked what was up and when I told him he laughed and said "OMG, that is Huge News!" I got him hooked on your videos because I love them he took a chance on them and loved them as much as I do because they make each day better... no matter what life throws at you, I hope you know you have our full support no matter what and if you ever come to Sacramento, please let me know because I would love to host you both... you have been such an inspiration to us both.. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you for helping me find my passion for animals and plants! Because of your videos i have been inspired to pursue a career in wildlife biology, starting with majoring in biology at BYU-Idaho. Thank you for everything and know that we all love you❤
seri, i hope you know you are not obligated to share any of your story with us. we're happy to listen to the stories you create here, but if you wanted to keep your own personal story more private, no one should blame you for it. it's your story, and especially when you went through so much, you are still optimistic and that is wonderful in itself. you're a beacon of light and positivity, even when you've been pushed so far down. i for one am always excited for what's to come, no matter what it is! take all the time you need! ❤
hi seri! im 16 now, its been 9 years since i’ve started watching you. stumbling upon a zoo crafting video has been one of the best things ever!! youve inspired me so so much, and your channel is so comforting and genuinely so amazing. we all love and support you sosososo much seri ! 🫶🫶 thank you for these 11 years of content, youve taught not only me, but so many others about nature and the joys of it! i wish you so much happiness and joy in your life, you deserve it!💚🌿
I’ll miss you Seri! I wish you a lot of happiness for the rest of your life! ❤
We have been so blessed and incredibly grateful to be on the wonderful adventures you have taken us on and you’ve really shown me just how important every aspect of life is with nature animals learning new little things in life and I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done seri I hope many more come along down the road me and my Guinea pigs love watching you :)
I’ve been watching your content since I was a little girl and now I just graduated college going to pursue teaching and eventually wildlife rehab as well. You have inspired my love for animals and love to learn about the world around us and how beautiful it can be. Your story telling and characters along the journey will always stick with me for the rest of my life, some of my favorite games I’ve discovered through you, such as star stable, planet zoo, zt2, sims, wolf quest, they’re all so fun! I remember being so over the moon when I would get noticed by you in your comments, like asking for vultures back in one of the zoo tycoon zoos, and you mentioning that option in the next video, I remember running to show my mom the comment and the clip since I was just a kidlet. Thank you for devoting so much of yourself to bringing other joy, but please take all the time you need to bring yourself joy, we will always be here for you like you have always been here for us, hope you have a day and can overcome the speed bumps in your life, good luck 💚
Seri... I watched you since I was little, over the years, and you showed me to stay curious and keep going. I am honored that I got to see you change and grow into the person you are now. I will be good with the decision you make and do. All I fill like I can say is Thank you.
Hi, Seri! I’m happy to have been along to follow you for a while now, and I just wanted to tell you that I for one will be happy with anything you decide to do or not do. Making something that brightens someone’s day is a worthwhile contribution to the world, and you’ve definitely done that!
Can I just say, you’re so beautiful!! That hat is so cute and your smile is absolutely adorable🤭💚💚
We love you so so so much seri! 🌿🌱💚
these 11 years have been amazing ❤
I indeed hasn't been watching your videos as much as I used to, but that's because life's been changing and for the first time it was fully my responsibility. No longer a kid, I started making my own decisions, and while it felt encouraging, it also was concerning and anxious. So I thought "I used to watch Seri so much because maybe I was a better person, and now I'm doing something wrong"
This video was really inspiring, because I felt related, I felt connection and empathy. Knowing that someone you admire is also going through tough times and can struggle too is reassuring. I hope I'm on my way to feel like myself as well, even if it means doing everything from scratch. Thank you ❤
This is my first comment here and I wanted to say Seri that you've helped me get through life. Ever since I was in late elementary to early middle school to now in highschool I have watched your videos and loved them. When I was at my lowest, I would find myself watching your videos and listening to you get so excited over games, share stories, and help me become immersive in your videos and it worked wonders. I just want you to know that you should take care of yourself and focus on you and what you want because if you're happy, then we are happy. You will always be my comfort youtuber that will always have a place in my heart. That was phrased horribly, but I hope I got my point across.
❤❤ we all love you, Seri!
I doubt you will ever see this Seri/sage, but I just wanted to say that last few years for me have also been probably the hardest of my like (and hopefully it stays that way, i want nothing harder! thank you universe) but I will say, when you go through something so hard, mentally or physically or both, it shakes you, and you spend years just trying to get back to were you were and grow. Being lied to by others or hurt by others often comes with it and often makes it 10X worse. but I hope you know, this pain you feel/felt, its valid, you are loved! in times like this often we must learn how best to love our selves when in the past it was always someone else we loved first. I am so proud to see you on the road of self love. I know that we can both make it! YOU GOT THIS SERI AND IM SO PROUD OF YOU! YOURE DOING IT!
Seri, you probably won't see this but.. thank you. Thank you for all these stories you've made and shared.
I started watching you in secondary school, so I was between 13 and 16 yrs old. I'm currently 22. I remember feeling a bit embarrassed watching your stuff cuz I was older than most of your viewers, but I just couldn't stop watching. There was such a sense of calmness and stability in your videos & in your community.. I just needed.
At that point in my life I was struggling immensely with depression and anxiety. I couldn't go to school most days, and my homelife was very unstable. Your videos and your stories was the one thing in my life which was stable and calm, and I will always be so so thankful for that. ❤️
I have been watching your channel since I was 12 years old, I turned 21 this past week your an inspiring human being and not just I but this entire community can agree. You are awesome keep doing what you do best
I'm going through "that sucked" right now too. Thank you for reminding me to re-discover my value and contributions to the world, even if they're niche and "non-essential." The non-essential IS essential. Art, stories, creativity, curiosity. The world is sterile and stagnant without them.
I've been watching you since Juniour high and am now a game developer wanting to make games and stories inspired by the beauty of nature and animals. I thank you for helping me rekindle that love, because in my teenage years it is something I lost, but refound with you.
From the bottom of my heart Siri thank you so much for the work you've put in and the content you put out. I am a lurker here and don't talk much, but your videos have helped me find comfort in hard times and have helped me find a community of people with interests like mine. Please do what you need to do for the betterment of yourself. You are so important to so many people, and I know everyone in this community wants to see you thrive more than anything.
Thank you, so so much for giving me and many others a space to experience and tell stories from a place of loving nature and the creatures that inhabit it.
Seri! I love you. I'm turning 16 this year and have grown up watching your content. And honestly, you are my real life Ms. Frizzle. You have taught me and so many others about the world and you have opened my eyes and my curiousity for the world and environment around me. You and the Wild Kratt brothers have actually helped me figure out what I want to be when I get older which I struggled with a lot as a kid. I could never answer the question of, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" but you throughout the years have helped me figure out that I want to be an entomologist. Or at least a biologist. You have taught me so many facts and there are many series of yours that i have binge watched in one night! (I have rewatched zoo crafting, planet zoo, and star stable so many times its crazy) I may not have all of the experience for a lot of things but I know that life has its up and downs and that you are clearly incredibly strong and even though I do not know what you went through and how difficult it was or wasnt, i am incredibly proud of you. And by the way, you are literally so stunning and i love your smile! You keep being yourself girl! I love you and everything you do!
I have been watching you since I was a little girl, I’m now 18 watching this the day of my prom. You have impacted me in ways no one has. You have made me realize I can do things even if other people may judge me. You helped my love for animals flourish and made me realize I CAN follow my dreams of working with them. You made me realize all is OK. Thank you forever, take as much time as you need and want! “You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” -Kathryn Stockett, “The Help”
I have been watching you for so long now that I can't even remember when I started. I watched your videos through college, a crumbling family, and through major moves in my life, and you have always made me feel so much better about the world and about myself no matter what was going on. You are one of the only content creators I have ever considered a role model, because of how you view the world and your creativity and kindness. I've adopted a lot of how you view the world into my own life - I hope you don't mind sharing it! ❤
I'm glad you aren't apologizing, because you've done nothing wrong. I'm sorry to hear you've been going through such a difficult time these past couple of years. Tension and stress and grief make being creative difficult, and taking breaks is so important. Please continue to take care of yourself and share the stories you want to tell at a pace that works best for you - your videos are always amazing. Thank you for the reminder that we matter and not to apologize for caring for yourself through hard times ❤ I know I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say you are appreciated and important! You've changed a lot of lives for the better.
Thank you, Seri! Just, thank you. For all your stories.
I'm 21 now, and I started watching your videos ten years ago. Your energy and your love for storytelling and your creativity has always been a bright spot in so many lives. An inspiration. You are an inspiration. You are the reason I started seriously telling stories, you are the reason I started drawing so much, you are the reason I fell in love with nature and wanted to try and live each day bit by bit to the fullest. Whatever comes, we support you. And we love you. And we're thankful for you. Hopefully the too-muchness fades.
Seri, I've watched your videos for years. I love every one of them, especially the WolfQuest and Little Kitty Big City videos. You have inspired me in so many ways. And you've shown me so many amazing games that I now own (not all of the games you play, of course)! I will always be grateful for you and your channel.
I have been here since you started your wolf quest journey and I loved every moment of it! I have been watching you ever since! All the adventures we have been through together have been so fun. YOU are my inspiration. I’m so sorry what you have been through 😢. YOU matter to me and many others! Whatever you want to do you will always stay in my mind. I love you Seri! ❤
There's many ways you matter to many people, you opened my curiosity, my playfulness and love of the world we all live in made by God. Without you my 6/7 year old me wouldn't appreciate nature and animals and more, without you, i wouldn't have the ambition to become a zoologist(which im not yet) , a job i would love so much!!!
So Sage, thank you for sharing with us!! I pray you, your beloved husband,friends and family are doing good.
And as you always say! STAY CURIOUS!!
God bless you❤😮
It's been an amazing 11 years, filled with leafy greenness, pixel fun, life, and just a sense of community and care! Sending all of the hugs and support your way! Can't wait to see where the future takes all of us (hopefully more positive leveling up experiences than negative leveling up experiences!). You are totally Ms. Frizzle!!!
Honestly the tiny things have been destroying me lately. College did serious damage to my mental health and well being to the extent that even just getting out of bed is a major struggle most days. I feel like a broken camel being continually coated in new straw. It’s hard. But having people like my partner is what keeps me from drowning. Being able to look at people who should be kind and loving and supporting and realize that they are hurting you is immensely difficult and often only makes things feel worse. But it won’t always be so monumentally destroying to think about and process. It gets better with time and the right support. Take care of yourself because you need to, because you should, and because you can.
Hello Seri. I have been watching your content ever since I saw my first video of Wolfquest of Meadow and Genesis and since then, this is my first time that I’m finally able to share my thoughts and opinions with you. I recall some of your personal videos when I learned that you’re married to a historian, when you had the vibes of autumn and when you took all of your pain out to heal from it. Because of that, there’s no need for you to apologize for your absence since you had to take some time off when dealing with personal matters, especially when you’ve suffered a loss of a loved one. That one hit me deep because it wasn’t too long ago where I too lost someone very close to me when one of my grandmothers died due to cerebral stroke. Hard to believe that it’s been more than 3 years now and the last thing we spoke was how much the world had changed ever since COVID-19 made a massive impact. We were discussing how animals across the planet were venturing into areas where it is usually filled with people that now are so empty, they felt safe and were brave enough to step into the unknown. They were many times throughout my life that I wished I could just… disappear and live somewhere where I don’t have to deal with anybody since I was always the wallflower. From your experience, I wish I could have that level of optimism where nothing could bring me down and be courageous since with everything that is going on around us, people can easily lose that in a split-second. Despite that, I do have the one thing that keeps me going to be better and remain strong: hope. This planet is far from a fine place but it is one worth fighting for because it’s the only one from the entire cosmos that we are blessed to call it home. This may never happen but, I pray to God that one day, we could meet in the flesh and become friends. Best friends, even. Wishful thinking much? It is but I believe that I made the right choice. 🌎🏕
P.S. When you’ve mentioned the dragonflies, I was like, “That’s my favorite insect.” 😻
i have a lot of memories of watching your channel(not on this account), honestly i have so many memories of waiting for the next stray or endling video to come out (i was obsessed) and i don't even remember when i started. it's so calming, the videos, the community. i've always loved the nature and biology in your videos as well. thank you so much for everything. i hope you find all the happiness in your life, and again, thank you so much. :) 🌿💚
Hey Seri, I've been inactive in discord and such for quite sometime now, moving out, abusive roommate, then moving again and working non-stop has made checking in difficult and almost 9 weeks ago my sister passed, I lost my uncle last year, and honestly its been hard, just know I still love you and your content and sometimes its okay to step back breathe and just let go. Right now I can't with my own loss and thats okay. Just breathe, and remember you have brought joy to us and you deserve it too. Love you Seri, stay curious.❤
Hello Sage! Calling you your real name because that video was so real! I support you financially and will continue to do so. Be encouraged and I will too! ❤🌺
Thank you so much for being you I’ve watched your videos since the Warrior cat Sim days and I’ve loved every minute of it. Your gaming brings me more than just joy, it inspires me, and I always learn something new about the world and myself afterwards. Thank you for being kid friendly as well, I hate watching videos with tons of swearing or inappropriate jokes so your channel has been there to calm me down and keep me sane. I’m not sure I would have gotten into as many video games as I have without you so thanks, your the best!
These year together have been amazing! I was here since the wildcraft series! ❤you got me to start wildcraft! And clangen! Your a incredible person seri. Keep it up girl!
Having watched you since I was around 7 (I'm 14 now), I think you are seriously one of the best people on this platform, you teach and inspire (I got all of my favourite hobbies from you) and you are so strong even if you don't feel it, no matter how little or much you have been going through. I'm proud of you for putting this out here and realising you don't need to apologise or share everything. You genuinely raised me in a way and inspired me as a person, which I'm so thankful for, and its all I can do to say that you deserve to be happy, and stay curious, so please, do everything you need to feel happy. And if you wish it, I know we'll all still be here at the end of the journey.
Thank you for all your videos. You’ve been a big part of my childhood and I’ve loved watching your videos for a long time. It started in 3rd grade and now I’m a senior in highschool. Thanks for inspiring and intriguing me. You’ve played a big part in my life Thank you so very much ❤❤
I'm sobbing! Seri I relate to you so much. Life, it can suck sometimes, but there is always light always! we will be here for you! And even if you don't realize it you are here on UA-cam whenever we need. We love and appreciate you SO much more than you could ever understand! Seriously (haha) you are the light at the end of the tunnel!!
Oh Seri. I am so sorry. You owe us NOTHING. All the same. I am grateful to be given a glimpse of what has been eating you. I am so sorry you struggle with these things. I experienced death at a young single didget age. Loss like this is something you truly can only understand if it unfortunately has happened personally to you. Death is such a hard personal thing.
I appreciate you trying to push ahead and through and thinking of us through all of this. But I hope through this we can see you, be a true self. True to you and to us. So much love and light sending your way to be your most authentic self.
Life is so full of so many Emotional hardships. I am so sorry you had your life crash around you. Focus on you, and making yourself rick solid. Someone once told me: the only one person that can truly know how to make you happy, is you. I hope you know you are never alone, even if you feel like you are. If nothing else you have Chip, and they seem to be a wonderful partner to you. Your community is here for you, and I hope you can see and feel our love for you. Not because of the channel, but because of YOU and how amazing of a person you are. The channel is the media in which most of us can find you. Please take the time you need and do what YOU need to do to better yourself. I love you. I hope you can truly one day love yourself and find your personal community.
You have every right to take as much time as Sage as you need. It's your life and I hope it gets better overtime.
Look after yourself hun 🤗💚
You are such a wonderful person. I think I speak for your entire community when I say please take as much time as you need to be yourself and to allow the too muchness to subside. There is nothing that needs to be forgiven and you are such a wonderful part of the world and have done so much for so many of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me and being there for me through everything without even knowing it. I hope that you take as much time as you need to realize yourself and to find a bit more balance in your life. I love you, Seri. And I love you, Sage.
You have such a calm, wonderful place on this platform, it's just a place where everyone can be themselves. A beautiful safe haven where I look forward to every new video. It's seriiously the most peaceful place to chill and have an amazing time with other spectacular people.
I remember the first video I wached of yours. Zoo Crafting. It inspired me at 8 to really learn about plants and animals and the world. I do think in my future I want to go on these grand adventures all around the world seeing every plant and animal I can.
We love you so much Sage
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
P.S. my piggies say hi to yours 🫶🏼
Seri, you are one of my favorite youtubers. I have enjoyed watching you and your channel grow over the years. I am almost 30 and I find myself struggling with my self-worth on a regular basis. There is a lot of pressure for me to grow into a functioning adult even at my age. Sometimes I feel that I have made alter-egos to perform in front of others because I don't want to be judged poorly and yet I am self-aware enough to know that is very mentality damaging. Balancing my family, friends, career, and health is frustrating but I always make time for myself. Our bodies only grow and heal while resting and I personally believe that extends to the psyche as well. Enjoy life the way you want Seri and take better care of yourself. 💕🌺☘
Hello Seri ! I would just like to say thank you for inspiring me to truly find my interest in the beautiful nature and animals of our planet ! Thank you seri for giving so many memories and thank you seri for so many fun and entertaining series ! My favourites were star stable lets plays, little kitty big city, zoo crafting and planet zoo. Thank you seri, you do matter, you’ve made so many people’s days and lives brighter! Thank you seri ❤!!!!
I sincerely want to say, Thank you Seri, for all that you do for us. I've watched you over the years, can't remember when I subscribed, but I just know I fell head over heels with your SSO series, then your Wolf Quest series. Thank you for you, thank you for being here, thank you for always sharing the glorious things you see, that sometimes we cannot see. The world and nature is otherworldly, breathtakingly astonishing. Please, please, take care of yourself. We love you so much. I love hearing your stories and cool thoughts about things, how you've always been up-beat and positive.
Though we have our dark days, healing takes a long time and it is uncomfortable. So please, do whatever you need to do, you know you'll have support beside you. I love you Seri, you're an amazing person. ❤❤❤
Hey seri… never really commented on videos that often lol expect for your warrior cats lol…. But I want to say I’m so sorry for what happened I cried because i completely forgotten my idols can also get hurt mentally and physically. I’m 17 years on freshly a senior and I want to become a marine mammal trainer cause of you! I can relate because I have a cruel past and almost took my life but…..you helped me so much and I can’t thank you enough you saved my life. You brought me so much joy and tears I watched you every night when I had a bad day cause your voice was also filled with happiness. I hate seeing you suffer and don’t you dare say you’re a bad person! I know I’m a stranger but I think if you as a mother figure. I hate seeing you hurt so much and yes you don’t need to say anything at all people should understand! I wish I could hurt all those people that hurt you it’s not fair! Please take all the time in the world we love you so much! And your needed in this world as so much a wife, a mother to some, an idol, a good human being. Thank you 🌎
I sincerely doubt that this will be helpful-maybe it won’t even be read, and that’s okay-but your channel was with me during some of the hardest parts of my life. A gentle constant through a riptide of change. We’ve only talked a couple times on Discord, but the community you’ve built here and the stories you’ve worked on with such care have been somewhat of a rock to tether myself to when the shifting world is too much.
I’m sitting in my back yard now, grilling for my partner and I. I am safe. I couldn’t say that four years ago. But your stories were there with me through it all. Listening to your voice and this video felt just like hearing an old friend talk about hard times. I know that, literally, that isn’t true, but that’s how it feels.
I’m glad you still feel the creative spark that so defines your channel, and I’m happy to stay and watch you evolve. Thank you. For everything.
I have watched you for over a decade and have always brought me joy and happiness and am so proud to think of you like a nature big sister thank you for all your time spend here with us
Seri, I've been with you since the sims warrior cats, untold tales, and Shelter (1&2), you helped me kick start a huge phase in my life, and you've helped me love the value of nature
I remember being younger and always looking forward to your videos, because to me, you were the only other person like me, for the longest time you were my niche, and I'm proud to say you've helped build who I am today
I came across your channel when I was 7, which is now 8 years ago. I can genuinely say that you changed the trajectory of my life. I watched your warrior cats videos and decided to check out the books myself, and was instantly hooked. Which then led to my inspiration to draw. I met a close friend of mine through warrior cats. My dream game as a a kid was wolfquest, and I finally got it. Each time I play, I think of how many years I waited just to play it.
If I hadn’t seen any of your videos, I honestly think I wouldn’t be as interested in art, or as captivated by nature as I am now. I wouldn’t have read warrior cats either which was my favourite passtime during quarantine. I really don’t think I’d love forests or the animals living in them as much if 8 year old me hadn’t mistakenly come across Seri play a silly wolf game. I know with 100% certainty that you helped shape my future, so thanks!
i honestly thought i would come out crying after watching this, worried it would be some sort of confession for something bad. but no. i’m so proud of you even if im just one person. i’m still proud. i’ve been watching your videos since 3rd grade i believe and im now about to be in 11th. i’m 16, im trans and still have my love to biology and the world around us. i’ve watched you since your days in wolf quest, niche, and shelter. im so so proud of you
Many prayers and hopes and wishes for you seri!!! 💖💖💖🍉
I’ve been watching your videos since I was very very young, and although you most likely won’t see this I want you to know how much I appreciate your beautiful work over the years. I’ve learned a lot of life lessons from your videos that I use and preach and practice today, and I’ve never been able to encounter another person with such a deep understanding and love for our world in the way you love and understand it. You have so much love to give and so many more lessons to teach. I’m glad you were able to find some sort of closure by making this and being able to open up to yourself and be able to heal :)
You have helped and improved thousands of lives Seri, and I hope you are able to continue with those dreams of yours and keep making such a positive impact on the world in this little community of yours that I and many others have grown to love .
Stay being you and what is true to yourself Seri, we’re all here for you and your journey through this gorgeous life of yours. ❤🌿
hey Seri... u have always been my childhood internet friend for the past 4-5 years. You were there for us when we were down, brightening the world with what you have in store for it. Everyone here loves you and man, has it been a journey!!! you were like a big sister to me and I understand what you are going through... we love u !!! you made me sob when i watched this
If you need a break no matter how long it is we’ll be here for you you deserve I break and no I’m pretty sure that no one here thinks you’re lazy because you aren’t everyone goes through though times at least one time in their lives and no matter how small the problem is everyone deserves a break and you don’t have to give an answer to anyone you don’t have to ask if that’s ok or not you don’t have to doubt yourself and think of what you need to be selfish. Sending love, hugs and positive thoughts I know you can get through this 💚💛 we all know you can!
I remember watching you in middle school. I'm in college now. Thank you for all of your wonderful amazing videos, you're such an inspiration with your creative ideas and determination. I love you and our adventures!
You’re so amazing and beautiful and inspiring. I love you ❤ “if I keep going, I’ll be okay”
ive been watching you since i was 6 and now im 11. your just so sweet and ur vids always make me happy :3. also more kitty >:I
All my love to you and Chips 💕 i hope you find time to breathe. You deserve it
Hey Seri, I remember watching your videos when I was younger. I am now 15 going on 16. I remember sitting down and enjoying Zoocrafting, Warrior Cats untold tales, and Niche (I believe it was a cookie based challenge) you truly brought me to appreciate life and nature more. Thank you for that. I hope as you journey more through Sage, who you truly are. That you will eventually find you again, and everything. Once again thank you, Sage and take care!
-Summer
9:24 I can't begin to express how long I've felt this way.. even since I was a little kid.
Hey seri, I just wanted to say you look amazing! I remember watching you as a kid and im 20 now which is crazy to think about. I loved all the series youve done from warrior cats to sims to star stable. I just want to thank you for these years of joy and excitement you gave to me and many others. Mental health is important so take as much time as you need no pressure. Enjoy your life and the people and animals around you. You are loved by so many, Thank you
We love you seri!❤
Hiya Seri, Im not sure whether you will read this comment but I’ll put it here anyway. I have been watching your videos since I was a little kid. They always filled me with such happiness and joy that someone felt the wonder of the world as much as my parents have raised me to have. You are truly an inspiration for me, and many others. We don’t know enough details to truly know what you’ve been through these past years but you are so strong to get through them. And while I know you like to keep your personal life private, I thank you for expressing your thoughts and experiences. I hope that you realise how amazing you are, sage! Your channel is truly a peaceful grove among so many channels and content on UA-cam. We love you seri 💕
You're incredibly strong to stay optimistic in your sorrow. But its ok to take the time to feel all the feelings and stay true to what matters most in life. Process, feel, release. Love and care for yourself and the people closest to you. You deserve to take as much time as you need, we can be understanding and no one would dare call you of all people lazy
Hello Seri! Thanks for providing me a good career goal in mind and for entertaining my youth when I was 6-9. I found this channel again after 7 years I found it again, and I hope I can relive some moments and adventures again.
I've watched your videos for years now and it's now a part of my childhood and I'll never forget getting so happy listening to your stories and watching you play and it just made me so happy seeing you happy and having lots of energy and your videos has helped me through some pretty hard times in my life and it's so fun seeing your community grow and continuing to keep growing and I just wanted to say that you are a truly amazing person seri and just listening to this video made me wanna cry because I feel bad you are having a hard time but I am glad you are getting better and I just wanted to also remind you that we will always support you seri and we hope that you will continue healing and keep moving forward and please take as much time as you need and that you will realize how special you really are and how amazing you are as well 💚💚
Thank you so much for this!! You are honestly such an inspiration to me, as you’re part of the reason I got into video games as well as biology!! I’ve just graduated from highschool today, and I’m fondly recalling all of the times I would watch your ZooCrafting/Warrior Cats Sims 3/Niche/ WolfQuest videos all the way back in primary school!!
Thank you so, so much for everything you’ve contributed to this community. :)
I want to reach through the screen and give you a big hug. I just started the video and heard the emotion in your voice and wanted to give you some comfort, love, and joy. I have watched your videos for a while, though not a super long time, as you've been streaming almost as long as I've been alive. I've always loved your videos and I feel connected to you. You are amazing and whatever life throws at you, you are strong enough to face it. You are who we need you to be, everyone feels pressure, and even if you feel that you aren't living up to other's expectations, you have strength. You are better than anyone could expect! We love you! Have the most blessed day. Stay curious, to quote you! ♥️
Seri, you have helped me grow a strong passion for animals and the beatiful earth in its self. I’ve struggled with mental health so badly in my life even at a young age I’ve always struggled so I can understand what your saying and how your feeling in hard times. I always didn’t understand how the world could be so beatiful yet so dark and the pain each person holds within them selves we don’t care about wolf quest. We care about you and how u feel at the end of the day we are watching ur content to watch u yes I’m sure people enjoy wolf quest so much especially your gameplay and story’s but your the reason so many people even found out about the game I’m so sorry you are struggling. I also find peace going outside and being in nature and just realizing there is so many things to live for the birds the trees the wind the insects sometimes It hurts me to see you struggling but it shows me u arnt just a always happy person you feel the same as anyone I appreciate you being open with us I’m proud of you seri if u take a long break I’ll be waiting patiently for u I’m sure we all will, See you next time Seri.❤ - Jada
Oh Seri 🥺🥺 believe me I feel you on the feeling more exhausted after maybe more "simple" things happened when you have endured through something similar if not worse 😅 i've watched every single update video the last couple of years (maybe more? I cant remember how.long i've been following you oh god 😅😂) i know some stuff happened, i assumed what happened through some series was related to that, but don't feel guilty!!! We understand ❤ I'm glad you are dping better, but dont forget tp focus in your mental health if you struggle again!
I’ve been watching you since middle school and you have helped me through so much. I’ve learned so much and your meadow series has been and always be so inspirational to me. I’ve watched multiple times and your words always gave me a sense of peace. And I want to thank you so much for it all. And I hope things get better whatever you decide to do. Take some time to just be. I think we all do. ❤
Gurl u are one of my all time favorite youtubers it is heartbreaking seeing u like this; on the verge of tears. I always wondered what was happening behing the stage of ur life and now reality is harsher than i thought. U literally planted a very important seed in me(whom is slowly turning into one of my most important trees in the garden of my soul),which in this case is a immense love for animals in general; i cannot thank u enough for this since this has now turned into an obsession that doesn't seem to stop😂. U have been a constant thru all my life since elementary till now,and I always wanted to have a chance to write to u to praise u and thank u but it seemed it was never the right occasion since i always felt shy or didn't knew what to write; but now it is. THANK U SERI FOR BEING THE INSPO FOR MY ANIMAL ADDICTION ON THIS PLANET AND IN GAMING🥲, I ASWELL HAD UPS AND DOWNS, DEATHS AND HURTS BUT I WANT TO TELL U THAT I FEEL U ARE STRONGER THAN THIS, U'LL GET THROUGH IT, WHETER U SLOW DOWN OR DON'T UPLOAD AS MUCH AS BEFORE; I'LL UNDERSTAND. Thank u again girl and stay curious,bye bye!💚🌿🌱🍃
hi, seri! ive been watching you ever since ive gotten UA-cam. i started watching your videos when i was a small child. you really helped me grow throughout my childhood, and really inspired my love for animals and the world around me. every single time i had a rough day of school or just day in general i would come home and watch your videos. im not the only person who has experienced this either, you have helped shape so many different people. you’re someone i really truly look up to, and i hope you know that. keep staying a kind and awesome person. 💗
Unlike other youtubers quiting bc of the intensely of youtube these days you decided to keep going on and making videos i really appreciate your willingness, also your one my or the greatest comfort channel to watch in the late dusk or early dawn i really love your amazing stories 💚🪴
I’ve been watching your content for almost a decade. I’ve always found such comfort in watching your videos. If I’m having a hard time in life I go straight to your videos. Thank you for always being a shining light of positivity in this cruel world. We love you!
I know some things that can be quickly enjoyable and loved can be suddenly burnt out in the end you helped inspire me and thousands of people through the simple storytelling and what comes together and you have inspired many channels too sometimes things can wack you in the face all of a sudden and one thing after another but we all live together whatever happens in the future we will always be there even if it’s uncertain we always love your content❤🌱
Seri,
I once again, like many times before, want to say thank you.
I won’t pretend to know your many problems as a viewer, nor do I think I should. I only partially understand the experience, with similarities but many differences.
But I think I should, hopefully not sounding too repetitive, mention how you affected me. To remind you that you did have a positive impact on many people.
I watched your channel for over nine years by now (only started to see videos around when they released from Zoo Crafting season 2, a little ironic since you mentioned season 1 which I never saw). At 21 years old, that’s almost half of my life! And it all started from trying to watch people playing Zoo Tycoon 2…
I probably wrote fifty times by now how watching your videos helped improve my English. It helped unlock entire communities for me to take part in and even allowed me to get a certain job (too sensitive to talk about here).
Now I’m at a point in my life between frames. I’m about to go to university in a few months to study biology! While I loved animals and nature since toddlerhood, I feel like you had influence in my path to bring me there - at least due to the better fluency in English.
(Also I ended up bringing a baby hedgehog to a wildlife rescue, but that was a spontaneous event and is a story for another day)
While I don’t watch many of your videos anymore, your influence on my life was a major impact, in my opinion for the better.
To end my rambling, I’ll say that I hope you’ll find your footing once more. Let the rebuilt Seri/Sage build what’s good for her.
Good luck with that.
Hi Seri!! I’ve been watching since I was a little kid, and Im so glad I discovered your channel. This place has always been a safe space for everyone to be themselves, and it will always hold such a special place in my heart ❤️
( I still remember the time I was in the background of one of your StarStable videos I think in 2017 lol )
Seri, you’re amazing
All the adventures have been great across the board. It has indeed been a great experience in my life. An I look forward all the adventures you have in store for us.
Take all the time you need to get back on your feet, or even create a new pair of feet. Youve already done so much for the people who watch you. Your consideration for your viewers and what you put out there is very admirable. Additionally, I've never seen someone make as many vidoes as you do in such short time frames! Please take it step by step, this world feels like a marathon but will only be a short sprint.
I can say myself that you sparked my interest for all things relating to animals. When i was 10 i was asked who i looked up to, who was my role model, and i choose you. I believe that just by sharing who YOU are as sage and as seri is exactly what this world needs to become that little bit brighter, so do what you need, and most importantly, want, to do on this platform for as long as you want to be on this platform. We'll all be with you.
Hey seri, know u prob wont read this, but i just wanted to say youve improved my life and mental health with your videos of stories and fun, you even inspired me to follow my dream to become a wildlife biologist:D Its been rough for many ppl lately i can tell by the comments :,) but whatever you decide for the future we (your subs) will be here for you
Im not going to share my age but i am going to share that ive watched you since i was very VERY young, and through very tough times ive always had trouble but could instead lose myself in these beautiful adventures, im not really sure how to explain what these things mean to me because if i wrote all that i would be typing for a lonnnggg time, just rambling. but just know this is important to atleast one person.
