on creativity, burn out and new beginnings

two years and one day later, and i'm back! i can't describe how weird and wild and wonderful it feels to be uploading again, and i hope you like this little introduction to the new era of sappho's library! this video is all about how i fell back in love with life, creativity and reading, and why these past two years of absence have been so necessary to be here now, uploading again. i missed you.
thanks for watching!

IT'S ME, I'M CRYING I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I'M SO PROUD OF YOU I AM SO SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE!!!! seeing you implement all of our chats in this way is so special to me i love you so much 😭

[neetjeeinhorn]

I am so happy you're doing great and that you're coming back. Your channel was such a big part of my lockdown era and your book recommendations built the foundation of what my reading taste is today. Can't wait to see what you're up to next with the channel!

Such a sweet video, Theresa! I have to say this is my first Sappho's library video, but I'm really looking forward to following the rest of your new journey! Huge congratulations for the Master's degree offer👏👏

I've missed you and your videos soooo much. Sending you lots of love from Portugal! 💕

[vickyreads]

Welcome back 💗 so happy to see you again

[lilacchocolate]

Welcome back!!! And congratulations on your Masters programme!
It's the mindfulness concept of keeping your cup full. If you don't do the things that keep your cup full then you have nothing left to give or share with others. So I'm glad to hear you are enjoying reading again and finding many new hobbies.☕💪☺💕

i am so impressed and happy for you! so excited for your new content, whether it’s about books or not :)

[janiceh]

I could not be happier that you have returned. More importantly what you shared regarding your new perspective on yourself and your life is so enlightening…you put a smile on my heart- as a PhD I am familiar with the struggle you mentioned … Welcome Back!!😊

[anniekslibrary]

Welcome back, I'm glad you're feeling better!

[jakearlow]

<3 really great seeing you back ! i've always enjoyed your content and i can't wait to see more of it

[hannahs]

Oh gosh. I cannot tell you how thrilling it was to see this video pop up today! I was so fond of your channel and your way of creating, back in the day, and while you owe us internet strangers absolutely nothing, I'm delighted for you that you've rested and healed enough to give this all another try. Looking forward to seeing where you'll go from here!!

[tulilipz]

Okay I finished the video and now I'm emotional 😭 I knew you were doing so much better, saw it on instagram and while talking to you and such but - DAMN GIRL this is huge! Like, you look so different (yet the same dw) in a good way, so much happier, healthier, it's insane! Like, there's something subtle in the way you talked that changed even, and I love that for you.

I totally relate to what you said about uni (CONGRATS for the master btw), I've lost almost all my community & structure since finishing music school, and not gonna lie it's rough. I'm doing better but I'm not yet at the point you are now, but I empathize for how you've felt and I'm sorry you went through that.
I feel that for reading also - I'm doing the same with music at the moment, probably too much, and I can't produce anything yet I miss it. It's rough.

Also, the storytelling?? The way you work on editing? DAMN I'm impressed.
I honestly don't care about what you will put out next because the way you talk about things makes them interesting and I'll happily watch whatever you post (though I love decoration and interior stuff if you feel like talking about that you'll have at least one viewer and yes it's me)
anyway oops I talk too much but CONGRATS ON COMING BACK WE MISSED YOU

[otterwithadarkside]

I'm so glad you're back and doing better! I missed getting sapphic book recommendations from you. I thought this channel was done for good, but I'm glad you decided to re-launch it! Can't wait to embrace this new era of Sappho's Library!!! 💖🏳️‍🌈

[absinthe]

I'm only five minutes in but the storytelling in this? Damn you came back with a MAJOR life, skills, happiness glow-up 😍
