It's good to know someone else was just like me! I went from shy, quiet book nerd who preferred the company of my imagination and the characters of the books I read to the company of actual people all because, in reality, people were unpredictable and chaotic, and I got bullied way too much. Now, I'm a writer, and I love how my once "overactive" imagination can now fuel the next generation of imaginations!
This is seriously me right now 😭. Ive never been opposed to meeting people, but it just so happened that the ones I opened up to were extremely narcissistic and toxic and would literally say personal things I'd told them to people I'd never met before and then wonder why I didn't trust them. It does get lonely sometimes having no friends as you don't have someone you can just speak to whenever you want, but it's 1000× better than being used by people who don't actually care.
TLDR: Toxic people ain't worth you time and it's better to have no friend than fake friends.
I'm sorry, I got so derailed from the point of the video when I heard Jean Valjean described as not only brave, but funny. Which had me struggling to remember where in Les Mis he'd been funny, but then I had it.
Valjean spends decades in the story displaying near-superhuman compassion for decades, directed toward most every character in the book, including his obsessive policeman pursuer Javert. He gets the chance to murder Javert and end the chase that's governed his life, and instead chooses to let him live another day, which more or less breaks Javert's brain. Javert decides he can't live with the conflict of Valjean being a moral person and also a criminal, and ends up jumping off a bridge. And, again, after pretty much a lifetime of Valjean intentionally prioritizing empathy and compassion and care for his fellow man, Valjean reads of Javert's fate in the newspaper, and instead of feeling sad or wondering why Javert did it or reflecting on their long-standing relationship or any of the things you might expect, he says something remarkable close to "Huh. I guess he was crazy after all."
And then NEVER ANOTHER THOUGHT OR WORD DEDICATED TO JAVERT EVER AGAIN.
…well, I thought it was pretty funny. in a savage sort of way.
I love your soft storytelling paired with food! It’s so inspirational and relaxing. I’ve always found comfort in books more than people for the exact same reason🥹
I know this is an actual touching true beautiful story But HEAR ME OUT isn't it the trope of : Omg she's so different and quirky She's unpopular and reads books And one day an editor stands up for her
You looked so goood during high school. I mean in the best way possible. All of us looked very bad and ugly during high and junior high but you look sooo like you mom.
I spent most of my childhood drowning myself in books, and to this day libraries bring me an unparalleled sense of nostalgia and peace. It’s not that people hurt me, but books and fiction were, and still are, so much easier that reality and real people. You can’t be awkward and annoying to a fictional character, after all.
OMG ME TOOO sorry it’s just so nice to relate to someone. I constantly see the rich kids from my school travel to Europe and other foreign places. While I spend my summers inside helping my mom clean my old middle school. I often find myself jealous and envy the way there parents are able to just go on a vacation with out worrying about their jobs. But it’s nice to know I’m not the only one
This is so wonderful watching and hearing about your inner growth. ❤
You could legit be a voice actor for Poison Ivy or Raven from TT or something — so laid back and relaxing!!
I was the same still am with books there is a whole world in them to escape to

that food looks so good 😭😭
I have always found comfort in books and was and still considered a nerd in my family. I told myself I want to write a book one day
this was my whole high school experience just being invested in my books
Omg this made me tear up! So happy for you!!!
Your book is in my school library and it’s amazing!
Does this woman ever have anything positive to say?
Yummm is this recipe on your website?
I think you voice is a huge part of your channel which is why I think you should record your book as an audiobook!

I agree with your agent. Back on deviant art, I would follow young artists, because it was fun to see them grow and become better.^^

I know this is an actual touching true beautiful story
But HEAR ME OUT isn't it the trope of :
Omg she's so different and quirky
She's unpopular and reads books
And one day an editor stands up for her

All of us looked very bad and ugly during high and junior high but you look sooo like you mom.
A trend in your videos- you are FOREVER the victim.
Ex husband- you were the victim
Society against Asian people-victim
Expensive school- you are the poor little girl….victim
😂
I love lupini beans!!! I eat em raw after taking the shells off w my teeth lol❤
Beans on toast reimagined 🤤
You are an amazing storyteller❤
All my highschool friends abandoned me on the day of our graduation, it’s only been a few months so it still really hurts to think about
I had three bloody cheese burgers today
I went to high school with extremely rich kids. I didn't care if they were rich. I cared whether they were nice and they were.
I spent most of my childhood drowning myself in books, and to this day libraries bring me an unparalleled sense of nostalgia and peace. It’s not that people hurt me, but books and fiction were, and still are, so much easier that reality and real people. You can’t be awkward and annoying to a fictional character, after all.
That dish looks so good! You have given me inspiration. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your story.
