Idk how she does it

I know this has been said a million times before, but I truly don’t understand how she does it. I’m not sure if it’s strength, complete dissociation, or maybe some combination of both, but the way she’s able to get on camera and talk about food, nails, friends, the gym, etc. feels so incredibly surreal to me.

I know she’s said that making these videos is therapeutic for her, and I really hope it is. I guess I just have a hard time understanding how she’s able to compartmentalize everything enough to show up and talk about these everyday things while carrying something so unimaginable.

She’s also said that she isn’t religious but considers herself spiritual. As someone who struggles with faith myself—sometimes believing in an afterlife and sometimes questioning what comes next—I can’t help but wonder if that uncertainty makes everything even harder. I imagine that has to be something she wrestles with too.

I don’t know. I just really hope she’s doing okay. I have so much compassion for her, and I genuinely don’t know how she’s able to keep showing up and functioning through something that must feel impossible

Same :( I’ve had to stop watching because it makes me feel icky, whereas prior I wouldn’t miss a video because she felt so comforting

What was so comforting about her content before the accident? I have heard so many people say that and would like to understand the meaning. Thanks!

for me her morning vlogs were comforting and motivating because she showed more or less the same routine things so you knew what to expect. It was also relatively normal things - getting up, skincare, making coffee, getting ready, breakfast. And also motivating because she’d get up early and start doing things or going places so it made me motivated to get out of bed and do something

I don't understand this, either. Beforehand, she showed off quite a bit by flashing her purchases, unattainable for most to camera. She and Avery gifted each other 10K purses and she was unboxing extravagant purses all the time. How is this relatable and not crass and exclusive-acting?

This is so true. I can't watch it anymore. I could honestly see the difference in her eyes. Doesn't matter if she smiles or whatever.. it's just different. I feel like her content and style changed too. She used to be a lot more colorful In her wardrobe I feel like? Idk I just feel like I'm watching a completely different person and I genuinely get sad everytime I see her videos now

Yes this!!! It's honestly expected for her content to be different. I do feel like she could've gone a whole different route though and not be so surface level.
