We Are So Back!
nice to see you back, i started studying graphic design because of you.
I was literally just looking for new fonts + you were the first person I thought of. I'm so glad to see that you're back + doing better now ✨
did you not colour grade your video xD
I also have hemiplegic migraines and am a graphic design let’s gooo, but my first one was terrifying 🫡
I'm so happy you're back, you've been such a big inspo to my GD journey since it was something I stumbled into as a "um I like art but I also want money maybe this will work out" and it's something I've really grown to love and watching the content you made made me fall in love with it more. I'm glad you're still here and I hope your journey to better health continues to go in the right direction! Sooo happy you're back :D
I'm glad to hear from you again, welcome back
When the world needed them the most, they reappeared.
LOVE your intro! any chance you could do a guide to creating video/digital collages? (a skill i am currently trying to master)
missed you so much 🥺
Thank you for sharing all of this!!! I started watching your channel in mid-2023, upon the recommendation of my younger sibling, right when I was starting to take an interest in a graphic design career (before I fell down the rabbit hole into illustration, courtesy of my drawing professor). You are not alone in so many of the sentiments you expressed in this video; so many people have experienced intense physical and mental health struggles like this, including me. I resonate a lot with the intense experience of shame you’ve lived with and I’m sorry you have had to go through that. Wishing you so much hope and peace and healing in your process, and wishing you so much joy in your creative pursuits, including here on CZcams. However things change for you now with this channel, we are here for it!!!
For a minute, while they were doing United, I thought they were using the G-Unit logo font.😅
LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
hey kel, the first video i watched was your hair dye videos back in like 2019. thank you for sharing your story! in the time since you've stopped being on youtube, i went through a horrific breakup that sent me spiralling + got diagnosed with adhd + standard covid issues. there was lump in my throat that made it so i really couldn't breathe. i moved cities + am going to therapy + found new people who care about me; i just think it's so beautiful that things get better! that the world can be wide and loving. and that we can share our stories and build community in our common humanity. to whoever is reading this, i love you!
I’ve been waiting for this without realizing how long it’s been because of similar events in my own life. As a graphic design student who struggles with her mental health, I just want to say I’M SO PROUD OF YOU! Thank you for trusting us to share a vulnerable part of yourself with us. ❤
Welcome back Kel
Woow, who would have thought that you’ve been through hell and back all this time. WELCOME BACK GODDAMN IT, YOU ARE SO NOT OBLIGED TO MAKE ANY CONTENT! but we are SOOOO happy to hear from you, even if it’s the last video you make, or if you end up making another one in a year, or whenever else possible! We like hearing from you, hearing you, and youingeneral. Everythingisfine, im not crying
KITTY!
I am so sorry and I am SO proud of you. I hope whatever you need today, you receive. One step at a time!!
wow, thank u for sharing this. i was watching your videos consistently when i was a young designer in my first full-time graphic design job, and i enjoyed your videos because it encouraged me as an enby creative in the industry. i went through a rocky chapter that also involved mental health struggles, ideation, ahdhd/ptsd diagnosis, overall health problems etc. i found a way to get to the other side of it and return to my love for design and creative work, and i'm now finding your return video. i can't tell you how affirming it is to hear your story and also see my own journey within it. welcome back, proud of both of us <3
IM SOOOO READYYY
oh god this video almost made me cry so many times... I'm currently studying graphic design and I think you were one of the main people who inspired me to pursue that passion of mine, I've loved your videos for so long ! I'm so glad you're back and I'm also and mostly glad you're feeling better and more hopeful for the future, so much of what you said in that video resonated with me and how I've felt sometimes! so excited to see more things from you and sending you lots of love and courage :)
i have a very parallel story to you... happy we are both back :)
im so happy to see you back on youtube! im sorry you’ve been struggling, sending you love!❤
i'm so glad you´re back!!
Hey Kel! I’m so happy you’re back! You’re someone who helped inspire me to pursue graphic design. I started watching your videos when you first started CZcams and I’m so proud of you for the steps you’ve taken to get better! I can’t wait for the new content! Keep being you! We love you!
If, by some miracle, I ever get married, I’m gonna have “Fireflies” as my first dance song.
kel? back. depression? cured. graphic? designed.
Thanks for opening up
Kel is back!
Im a freelance artist. I was diagnosed with ADHD (and PCOS) in the past year. I’ve also been dealing with my husband’s father’s early dementia diagnosis. I really, really relate to what you said about paving over the potholes made in the wake of poor mental health. I lost clients and didn’t get renewals this past year, and now I have to move to a cheaper part of the country. It’s hard not to feel like a disaster when you’ve objectively made mistakes. All this is to say that you’re very brave for sharing all this-it makes me feel less alone in these struggles! and I’m so glad you’re back on YT and still making amazing work!!
te quiero kel <3
First of all - I'm so happy you are still around and alive. Secondly, I'm so happy to see you here on CZcams again, I've genuinely missed your videos. Thank you for sharing 💘
You should be very proud of yourself and Welcome back! =)
shout out to the Bliss Journal in the background!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I only at the start of the video, but I already skimmed through the titles of the chapters and it's gonna get heavy. But before that i wanted to say, that your videos have intermittently crossed my mind and I've reminisced about the "low key hanging out, crafting, being creative in a no-pressure environment" vibe they always gave me.
Hi, Kel, it makes me happy to see You're back! I'm with You in my thoughts as i have dealt with mental health and major health problems myself. As I recall from Your previous videos, You're very into music. May i suggest You to check out REN? Ren is a talented independent musician, singer, songwriter, rapper and producer who is with honesty and respect diving deep in several serious themes including health and mental health in his music. It's compared to therapy sessions and i have found comfort and hope listening to it indeed. The best song to start with is "Hi Ren", but there are more that You could listen to: "Troubles", "Chalk Outlines" (health and mental health issues), "Suic*de", "For Joe" (grief) and "Power" for example.
never stopped being my favorite creator. here for u kel❤️
So much of this is so relatable. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I've followed you for years and you are a huge inspiration for me as a fellow designer, enby, and now seeing we have very similar mental diagnoses. I'm so happy you're doing better and I hope you know you're amazing. I'm not the best with words or vulnerability so sorry.. but you deserve to know this. 😅💜
Wow you had a Free Palatine poster 2 years ago ! Well educated
you're the reason i developed an interest in graphic design. since then, i've had a job designing for my uni's social media as well as designing promotion and merch for my friend's dissertation concert. you have impacted so many people and we all love you for it.
excited to have you back
They/Them was something i didnt expect :3 I miss the old times when THAt wasnt a thingg
there has never been a time in the history of the earth without trans people or with rigid gender binaries. cope.
@@KelLauren funny how you didn't need to do that in your old videos. Maybe cause it wasn't invented yet
MISSED YOU
I clicked instantly after seeing your thumbnail poop back up on my home page! The awareness you hold of everything you went through is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story and framing it with such honesty and insight. So happy to hear that you find yourself on the rails again, and I cannot wait to continue tuning in as you put out new *revitalizing* content <3
Welcome back. Thank you very much for sharing everything. We are here to support you. Greetings from Mexico
I started watching as the pandemic kicked off, and you're probably one of the reasons I'm now a full time graphic designer. I'm so pleased to see you're back, and relate to many of the struggles you've been so brave to share. Thank you Kel 🫶🏻
