What a joy this was, Holly. Felt like a receiving postcard from a friend - wish I could send you one in return! Wishing you all the best and thank you for making this video for your fellow humans muddling through.

Just a few shots of my life recently, things I’ve been thinking about and hobbies that bring me joy. Thanks for popping in! ❤ xx

I, too, started an analogue chapter during the month of February. Committing to a paper journal adorned with inspirational art and quotes has kept my ADHD-addled Ph.D. brain sustained in a way the screen cannot. As always, thank you for sharing your vulnerability, realness, music, and your gorgeous dog. The crackle of an LP soothes my soul daily, and a bop around the music does wonders for the soul.

i dont know what it is, but i just love your videos, found you from your notion connecting with gn and zotero, but stayed because of your wholesome way to do and say stuff. whish you a lot of strength and would love to see more, but only if its right for you. Thank you for the glimpse

Thank you for sharing your life with us in your vlogs, Holly. I am so sorry to hear that you are living through such pain. I want you to know that your honesty and integrity always shine through and your vlogs are lovely to watch (even the sad ones). I'm a huge choral music fan so I enjoyed the music 'section' of your vlog. Thinking of you during your darkest times. Much love, Liz

This..!! Also when being in Norway - don't believe your thoughts when it is november, january or february either... It is good to see you again. Allways want to go back to Dublin again seeing your vlogs though. I find you tell how life is exactly how I find it from time to time - but also you pinpoint a few of the important stuff to remember at those times.

Sending huge big hugs from a dark, cold and gloomy Norway. Think I needed this video today. ❤

I am so grateful for living a life that receives you in the form of spaced out but substantial dosis of truth and humanity. May we all walk together this -sometimes exhausting- path on Earth and accumulate many more journal entries! ⭐

Every moment I get to spend with your content is a moment worth spending. Thank you for the beautiful video and the thoughtful message ♥️

[reticu_late]

Hey Holly. What a beautiful short film. It’s good to have you back. You bring a surge of pure honest joy with you. I got divorced and at the time it kinda sucked. Then it didn’t. Life goes on. You are a beautiful human and that’s all that matters. David x

[InkaTeacups]

Aww, love those little paper cards! 💛Also, you look sooo pretty! 👑 Oh, and weirdly, I think I liked the sound without the mic even better 😮 PS: I have recently deleted my socials, and it honestly feels soooo refreshing! More analog power to you! Cheers!☕

[keelinbarry]

Beautiful. Wishing you all the very best and every peace and happiness. Doing a PhD in tough times is a brave feat and as a fellow PhDer I send a snowy hug from Waterford to you this afternoon.💐🌻💐🌻

[justamberreading]

Oh Holly, this was a lovely surprise! Miss seeing your vlogs and grateful for an update. You are so inspiring and bring so much joy around you. I want to kick Youtube's butt for not notifying me on your post!! Sending you hugs!

[missytyrrell]

Oh, the dancing made me so happy! ☺️

The diary entries hit hard. 😢 I hope they're helping.

Hey Holly, thank you for the beautiful video and for sharing such personal parts of your life here. Your channel, honesty, humour and approach to even the most challenging of times have had me captivated since I first discovered it. You are one of the few people on youtube who's videos I watch and think "this is real life, beautifully told". I'm so sorry that you are going through such a difficult time, but equally happy you have such a strong support network and have taken time to not only work out but implement what you need. Wishing you all the best, know you have a lot of efriends/people here cheering you on with everything you do.

Holly! I love this entry into your embodied, analog world. Thank you so much for sharing yourself, and the methods you've discovered to help you along your way through the fires. I also find journaling to be so helpful in my research. Really clears, deepens, and clarifies. I've another book recommendation for you. I'm making my way through it now: The Wounded Researcher by Robert D. Romanyshyn. While the context is depth psychology, I think any researcher could benefit. Thank you so much again for sharing your soul's work. 🔥✨😌

[katieny]

Was so happy to see your update and that you're back to working on your PhD. What a lovely family you have!❤

[carolspencer]

Holly, I have only just seen this! bloody notifications.
Such a personal vlog, thank you for letting us in.

I'm glad you're here, thats for sure. Also, I think kindness is a butterfly effect; one small act reverberates and magnifies.

I joke with a close friend that i'm having daily existential crises, it feels hard to be human sometimes.

Much love to you, Katie x x x

Not sure why my last comment vanished but it was so, so lovely to hear from you again, Holly! I just love watching your videos! They always give me a boost of confidence and inspire me and make me feel connected to you. Totally agreeing with the "felt like receiving a postcard from a friend" :) I am wishing you all the strength you need for going through what you're going through! Know that there is always a community waiting for you (your Discord pals :)) On a completely different note: Loving your shelves!! (the ones with the metal pipes)

[EL-ubdf]

11:50 i absolutly love your journal. That is something I am also going to start doing too.

[fadi.almasalmah]

I never watch vlogs, but yours always make me feel good. Thanks for sharing, Holly!
