Shello everyone! I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your love and support on my latest YouTube video / reel 🩵

It felt so good to talk so openly and honestly with you all and to give you more insight into my life and why I haven’t been around much on social media.

To answer the main question I’ve been getting, NO, I am not giving up mermaiding! I’ve just been on a bit of a hiatus as my life has been changing so much and it hasn’t felt the same as it used to. I am still optimistic that the magic will return and I’m looking forward to making some new content this summer!

I also forgot to mention two other big reasons as to why I haven’t been making content.

During the past two years, I have sadly been grieving for all four of my pet ferrets: Delilah, Honeybear, Luma and most recently Ladhor. They were a huge part of my life for the past 9 years and they were also featured on my YouTube channel a decent amount so it has been really really hard losing them. I have no furry friends in my household for the first time in my life, so it’s definitely been an adjustment.

The second reason that kind of ties into the first reason is I had given up my office space for my ferrets to use as they weren’t able to navigate the ramps in their cage anymore. On top of that, my computer is really old and slow now so editing is almost impossible. I had kind of been waiting for my last ferret to pass away before I redo my office and get a new computer set up which is now in the works.

Soon I’ll be getting a new desk, computer, and hopefully make my office a ✨vibe✨ so that I can both edit and film in there! Stay tuned!

Thank you again for all your love, patience, understanding and lovely comments / messages. I am so so grateful for all the love in my life! 🥰🥰🩵🩵 ‘Sea’ you soon!!

Shello everyone!! What kind of content do you prefer to watch these days? Long form content (like OG YouTube videos) or short form content (like shorts and TikTok’s and reels) ? 🧡✨

Hey everyone, I know I have been suuuuper absent on social media for a long time now. Some of you probably don’t even remember who I am at this point 😅 but that’s okay. It’s been a really hard year. I’m still struggling to feel like myself, or learn who I am now after everything I’ve been through. I want to be ready to come back so bad, and I think I’m close. It’s just been such a crazy, busy, whirlwind lately. This is the first week in a long time where I feel like I can actually slow down and breathe a little.

Since last April, it’s kind of felt like one thing after the other. I was diagnosed with cancer, I went through a really tough breakup, delt with so much drama and heartbreak, went through all the scary scans, drs appointments, rounds of chemotherapy, I’ve lost 3 out of 4 of my pet ferrets who I’ve loved with my whole heart, now my last ferret has been diagnosed with cancer.

Every time I feel over tired, I get anxious that the cancer might be back. There are so many things that I want to do like create / edit / post content, work doing princess / mermaid gigs, travel, spend time with my family and friends, keep my house all organized and tidy, keep improving my singing, dancing, and acting skills by taking more classes - the list goes on. I have to accept that I just do not have the physical and / or mental capacity to do everything right now. I don’t know why that is such a hard pill to swallow.

I feel like I want to get back to posting and engaging with all of you more than anything, and at the same time, sitting at my computer to edit all the videos I’ve filmed over the past year also feels like the very last thing I want to do. It’s so confusing and annoying and frustrating. I’m okay but I’m not fully okay yet. I’m still working on myself and trying to process everything that I’ve been through. It’s been so hard and I feel so alone a lot of the time. I think I try to keep myself busy to trick my brain into thinking that I’m not really struggling. I am still sitting firmly on the struggle bus and I don’t know how or where to get off. Every time I feel close, it’s like something else comes up and the doors stay shut and I can’t get off.

I know this all sounds very doom and gloom. The truth is I’ve also had some of the happiest, best days of my life over the past year. I am so proud of who I am and what I’ve achieved. I know there are many more happy days to come for me. I know there are many more creative opportunities coming my way in the future. It’s just hard sitting in the now, wanting to be ready so bad, but knowing deep down that I’m not quite ready yet.

This got really long. Long story short, I miss you all dearly and I miss creating content for you dearly. I am coming back. The version of Emma / Zelda who comes back will be different than before. It might not be easy but it is worth it. If you read all of this, I love you. ❤️

Shello friends and fishes!! I haven’t been very active on social media for a while, but both the sunshine and my energy are starting to return! ☀️

You may have already seen on my instagram, but I am doing a 10 week fundraising competition for the Leukaemia & Lymphoma society of Canada!! It’s such an honour to have been chosen as one of their ‘Visonaries of the Year’. ❤️🩸

This cause is very near and dear to my heart as I enter my 6th month of remission from Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. It was pretty much exactly a year ago today that I noticed my tumor for the first time. I am so incredibly full of gratitude and joy that I am now on the other side of this and that I’m able to help raise money for such an amazing cause.

If you’d like to donate, learn more, or share my link, I’ll add it for you here:

secure.llscanada.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=155…

I love you all so much and I hope you’ve been doing well my Merbaes! I promise I’ll post a new YouTube video soon!! 🥰

Shello everyone! I know I’ve been super quiet here lately and I genuinely miss you all so much. I have so much to catch you up on and I’m just wondering if you’d prefer an update video or would you prefer we schedule a live stream so you can all ask me questions and hang out? Leave me a comment with your preference, feel free to ask questions for me here as well. I love you all! Thank you for being patient during this crazy time in my life 💕🧜🏻‍♀️
