Hey, take your time, I don't have a lot of words to say, but your playlists are great, especially in times where there are many people who just use AI for them and that's kinda upsetting, so that's why I love your playlists and love seeing you not completely giving up on youtube❤ Don't stress yourself and good luck with your irl stuff✨️

As a fellow yapper, with the will and immunity of a sickly Victorian child… {{WELCOME BACK!!}} I salute you and am SUPER_ excited for more wonderful playlists!😂❤ (Especially with all the crap AI generated music playlists out there, that have been drawing me in with good/normal music and then keep repeatedly breaking my heart halfway through the list with ear-trash!!😭🤬…I don’t know if anyone else has run into this same problem a bunch, or maybe I’m just particularly lucky. Lol) I’m glad you came to the realization that you should be doing this for FUN/yourself and not take it so seriously, or put too much pressure on yourself about “keeping us happy”. Because you’re taking time out of your life to give us really awesome playlists FOR FREE. If anyone has a problem with that, or loses sight of that VERY basic reality…it might be time for them to reevaluate some shit in their lives. I’m just saying. 🤷♀️😂 Anyway, good to have you

I actually love knowing more about the people behind the music channels I subscribe to, including the playlist ones - you're a human with cool music taste, that's awesome and it's fun to know more about you! Studying doesn't last forever, that's probably the only useful possibly comforting thing I can say about that. You introduced me, a forty something career public servant with kids, to new artists and fun remixes, and your Christmas mix is my favourite of All Time (if YouTube ever takes it away from me i WILL riot) All this to say, glad you're back and I read all your yapping, I hope you're feeling better and survive those dastardly exams. Keep on keeping on, buddy 👍

Hii! :) I just want to tell you that I totally get it, school can be annoying af and having to post regularly can be a pressure too, so I'm glad you took some time off for a break! Your playlists always make me happy (love your music taste!!) and I'd also love to see you post other art stuff or just go yapping a little <3 (fellow yapper here) I hope you pass all your tests and that both your sides of the pillow are cold hahaha. Don't doubt yourself or overthink too much (also fellow procrastinator here lol), you got this! 💕💕 edit: oh and happy pride month everyone!! 💖

Hey :D! You're saying you're creating just playlists... but ig for many of us it's something more! Like u said - "playlists that people resonate with and make daily activities or emotions a little easier to bear with for anyone listening." - YES. I'm finishing up my first year as a uni student and your playlists were great to listen to or just really helpful during some worse days hahah :3 soo... I don't really have experience in yt stuff, but after reading what you said, it makes sense, I'd be a bit scared too probably xd. So, good job! at taking a break and getting back to it :> Glad you're back :D!

Aliven't
ahEM AHEM-
[LONG STORY SHORT: IM BACK, I WILL TRY TO POST ATLEAST TWICE A MONTH, I'M SO SORRY FOR DISAPPEARING BUT APPARENTLY I HAVE THE WILL AND HEALTH OF A SICKLY VICTORIAN CHILD, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED I WILL POST STUFF UNRELATED TO PLAYLISTS AS WELL (perhaps on a separate account/platform)?? I MISS READING EVERYONE'S COMMENTS 😭😭😭, WE HATE EXAMS CHAT]
For those who don't mind wasting their time at my giant yapping:
Exams are kicking me in the ass, mental and physical health dipped for a bit, but hey I'm ALIVE (aka I'm so done with studying that it has led me back to youtube. Professional procrastinator fr fr )
I know I sort of disappeared for like- a year. A lot of things were going on in personal life and youtube wasn't letting me post for a while (along with blocking videos), so for a period of time I decided to give up on youtube all together.
However, I checked my inbox today and a lot of comments were wishing for me to come back. I found them so sweet that I just had try to post again, so I'm really grateful for everyone's support 🥲 I've seen some notifications before, but I tried to put it at the back of my mind because I knew if I read them I would come running back LMAO.
I know I just make playlists and that's nothing really special, but I love listening to music and it's been great to share it with so many people. Even if engagement won't be as high as before, I honestly don't care. Reading people's comments and stories make my day so much and I would love to do it again.
Academic-wise, I still have a lot to do (gotta farm for that CV so I can get a j-j-j-job *gasp* in the future), but I'll try to post weekly/bi-weekly starting from now if I can get verified and deal with the copyright accusations from yt TvT
I'm sure most of my subscribers are here for music recommendations and such, but if you guys are interested in other things that I do (eg. an art account), I'd be willing to share!
A little vulnerable yapping:
At the peak of my account growth, I was really happy but still quite scared of having a bigger following than I could have ever imagined, as I only decided to start this account for fun (it's been 4 years, crazy). From running this account 'just for fun' to being worried about views and pleasing others; I think that mindset also took a toll on me. Adding to that, I was quite young when I started this account. When people disliked something I posted, I found myself scared or pressured because at the time I wasn't sure how to deal with it.
After a break and while on the brink of abandoning this account all together, I realized that the SIZE of engagement didn't really matter. It's incredible to have 84 000+ subscribers, but I should be doing this like I have from the beginning: For fun. To make playlists that people resonate with and make daily activities or emotions a little easier to bear with for anyone listening. I don't mind taking requests, but I hope it's understandable that I won't do all of them, and only those I think will appeal well with the public (or that I personally like).
This has been a really sweet community, and I would love to get closer to you guys by sharing more about myself. For a long time , the fear of having my identity disliked has always been a weak point of mine. Again, I don't actually expect anyone to be reading my heck load of yapping (because I just put playlists together after all), but I'd really like to get it off my chest! Thank you again for those who have been listening to my playlists. It may not seem like much, but it's really wholesome to see people enjoy music together.
Also, my aliven't ass coming back from the dead:
