These types of vlogs gives us all a sense of clarity and peace after a long day. Megan’s attic is just magnificent. I hope she continues to do well somehow.
thank you 🥺❤️🩹
Don’t worry about the darker lighting. The glowy pumpkin + rain sounds made this feel SO lovely and cosy!!!!
i thank the youtube gods algorithm for having proposed this video because oh my god this was just... everything i needed after a long day.
🥺❤️🩹
The meltdown story is so relatable. The whole cascade of how the plan begins to unravel, struggling to decide on the course of action, you can't access certain information that would be useful to have in the moment, etc. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that but I'm grateful to you for sharing because it makes me feel less alone about my similar moments.
I've had a rough week and I appreciate how most of your videos are footage with text. It makes them very calming. I also super appreciate you showing us your special interest things and sometimes talking about them, it makes me really joyful to see.
Oh I have had that horrible feeling of “I know I can fix this and how but I’m still incredibly overwhelmed and I just can’t think, even breathing is a challenge” so many times. Yay for badly wired brains… said no one ever. 😓
I am so happy you were able to end your week in a happy note. I send you good vibes and hope for a fantastic lot of upcoming weeks and months.
When you were talking about "when your disability just full on slaps you in the face with a shovel" I just finished having a mega meltdown this morning as well😅 so that was very fitting
So pleased for the shout out for Waterstones Reading staff! They are, honestly, the sweetest!
they really go above and beyond every time, in kindness and in finding books!
Hope you're doing well Megan, sorry to hear about m&s staff being dodgy. I appreciate you talking about meltdowns: I'm late diagnosed (last year) & still figuring stuff out. I've just started a PhD, week 2 & I'm already having mega anxiety & cancelling things 😭
New subscriber here, I really really love this format of looking at your hands while you talk. I have issues with eye contact and usually it's not a big deal with videos but I didn't realize focusing on the hands could be so soothing. I think they express as much or even more than the eyes. Thank you for your softness ❤
Happy to hear that everything worked out in the end with the packages. Also, having the videos done with a lamp and candle actually gives me all the cozy Autumn vibes I've been jonesing for. The trees around my apartment in Tokyo don't change color, the leaves just fall to the ground... so I am soaking up everyone else's Autumn experiences.
I just found your channel and let me just say how cosy, warm, and at peace they've made me feel. I have been sick since last night and your videos have made me feel better. Hugs and love
that’s so lovely, thank you! i hope you feel better soon 🙇🏻♀️❤️🩹
So relatable. When things go wrong and you have to somehow just muddle through regardless. The worst
I'm so sorry you had a difficult week, sending you lots of calm and cosy vibes for this week ❤ also, not sure if you've already read it but Meddling Kids is one of my all-time favourite books! I think you'd really like it if you haven't read it already!
I watched nearly every episode of this series yesterday and I woke up today to something new! Yay!
happy you like the series!
@@MeganRhiannon I love it!
I’m proud of you handling things - it’s not always easy, in the moment, to see that you’re managing just fine. But you are. When you start to melt, try to breath deep and remember that everyone (even people without disabilities) has days when they’re overwhelmed. None of us is perfect. We all just do the best we can in the moment. I just found your channel, and I’m subscribing. I’m a much older lady in the US who works with people who have disabilities and I have 5 autistic grandkids. I have an idea what you’re up against. But you are doing great! ❤
Living for the Pylon Check but was so glad to see the happy ending. Really cute selection of content despite a bad week.
Everything is transient and everyone messes up.
There is always a pumpkin patch around the corner, just enjoy each and every one when it pops up and you have won!
glad to know someone appreciates the pylon check 🥲 thank you for your kind and wise words!
such a cosy episode 🥺 hope this week is less draining for you! 🦇💤
I honestly wouldn’t care even if the M&S was full and people could hear you… the fact that an employee came and asked you to leave for simply showing human emotion is absolutely disgraceful! I’m so sorry that happened to you. I am really so angry about it! It is also extremely ableist because there are times when people (especially those with disabilities and chronic illnesses) are unable to control their emotions . Sending love your way ❤
your videos are sooo calm i love ittt
I love this so much, thank you! Very refreshing and honest...also lovely and relaxing video. Please make more! :)
Just wanted to let you know that your videos have been a really good companion to me lately. I've been really overwhelmed with starting a new job in a stressful setting and I'm also dealing with some chronic illness stuff. Thank you for posting these
i had such a terrible day today, really feeling the season change. should have checked youtube sooner, your video definitely helped me brighten up a bit, thank you
omg I loved the morganville vampires!!
Oh, the relatability! I go mute in a meltdown and I also have very bad auditory processing disorder, the person in M&S would’ve completely finished me off.
I've read The Ghost: A Cultural History and I really liked it, so I hope you have fun with it!!
so pleased to watch your videos. 🥹
I'm considered healthy but have not managed to get my life so organizied as you have your life, so I look up to you and what you can manage and how you are pushinig through life is really amazing. Heads up we all feel incompetent and vulnerable goin through life. Wish you all the best :)
Thanks Megan, appreciate you keeping it real. I love your videos so much. I may reread a bit of Twilight because of you LOL “for the vibes”
Great video! There are good days and bad days! Cherish the good days! the bad days always have learning lessons! You are always a great person
And an amazing professional! your talents are amazing! Your illustration and writing abilities are fantastic! I love all of the videos! Take care!
Babe wake up megan posted a video 😍😍💀💗
I love that book series!!!
Istg I discover all of these niche channels that are so tailored and perfect for my taste that its like WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? Love this video btw & your channel 😌🤍
I absolutely love this video. So honest, transparent, and insightful for those of us watching this who aren't neurodivergent.
I've subscribed & can see me being a regular viewer from now :)
Keep being awesome. xxx
I hope you're doing better and thank you for the video, I really enjoyed watching ✨Watching you prepare for Halloween reminded me of this TV show called Penny Dreadful from a few years back that I loved.
I love how your bookshelf looks, btw can you make a video about it? (like going through everything you have or just showing your favorite once)
Thank you for sharing about autism. I felt like I had to watch your video, and now I see why, it’s so amazing to see another autistic person sharing their experience.
Aw thanks for being so honest , I think that situation would stress anyone out ..im not neurodivergent and that would stress me out ...I walked 25 mins into town and realised I'd forgotten the package I was returning yesterday , just a small thing but affected my whole morning
I really admire your enthusiasm for Halloween, definitely my favourite time of year. And I recommend Salems Lot, Cycle of the Werewolf and the Dead Zone too.The books and movies are great.
And one final thing….
Halloween Never Ends🎃🎃🎃👻👻💀👽
halloween never ends!!
The Haunting Season has some great ghost stories in it, I read it at the end of last year. Also I saw you pick up Meddling Kids while browsing which is awesome - basically monsters-are-real Scooby Doo for adults, if that sounds like your kinda thing. Totally going to add The Ghost: A Cultural History to my reading list
oh interesting, thank you! in the end i didn't look too close because it looked a bit like a dupe for It, but i've had two of you mention it being good so i'll go back for another look!
Do you keep the spooky decorations up all year round? They're so well done and well placed.
I've never been on a pumpkin patch! It looks fun!
it was my first time! it was super fun 🍂
Loving the vibes sm. Do you know the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton? The first like seven books are really cool, it's all about vampire-hunting and resurrecting the dead. It's also one of the first urban-fantasy/horror/thriller series ever, which even inspired the Twilight saga lol! You should look it up 🦇
i'm very familiar with them but i always chicken out of reading them because the reviews are always so mixed! my dad was reading them as i grew up 😅
You really should read Welcome to Nightvale…so imaginative.
Those moments of overwhelm become fewer and far between as we get older and learn to cope more efficiently. Grateful for that, but omg it makes it all the more intense when they DO hit. Your story was relatable. I’m 34m add/asd high functioning and no one would really guess that I deal with it, but the other day I had a very “autistic moment” in front of a few coworkers. Holy shit bro the intensity of the moment is like the fucking Sun shining a spotlight on the truest you that you’ve learned to pack away until you get home lol.
Recently I’ve been accused of faking my “ghost autism” (kinda dig the term tho lmao) by some family members. It’s so very valuable to me (and others, I’d imagine) to see someone who could likely get away with not mentioning it, choosing to be vulnerable. Sometimes being “high functioning” feels like you haven’t “earned” the right to claim it or something. I’m grateful to be where I am, but in some respects it’s hard to blend in so well.
Instant follow! Your channel is so relaxing and realistic if that makes sense?
Where did you get your ghost cushion from? I think it’s really cute
tkmaxx/homesense!
what did you do of your passport travele'rs notebook?
i still have it but i'm not using it at the moment!
for some reason the auto captions feature isn't available on this video :(
(edited for spelling)
Ahh they might not have finished processing yet! they should be available a little later
@@MeganRhiannon thanks! I'm not usually this early, haha. I'll try again later 💚
Please let us know how you get along with your books shown in this vlog. “The Haunted Season” is already on by TBR and the cultural history of Ghosts sounds very interesting.
i will do! ♥
I loved the Morganville Vampires. Rachel Caine did finish the series. She passed 2 or 3 years ago. I'm sn audiobook girl and Morganville was great on Audio. Claire is 16 and goes to college in Texas at the insistence of her parents and is forced to live off campus because she's bullied. Once leaving campus she finds out that a lot of sh*t goes down at night in Morganville. Her housemates help her navigate life in school and Morganville. I loved the whole series. The narrator is perfect for the series.
Did you ever get to Jeaniene Frost's Night Prince series? Vlad is hysterical. The audio is great. Tavia Gilbert narrates and she's fantastic.
yes! i read 6 or 7 (?) of them as a kid. I do often think about rereading them but i worry i might've outgrown the age-range a bit! always find it a bit strange to read from the perspective of a romantic 16yo nowadays 😅 good to know she finished them though!
I haven't looked at night prince yet- i've got 3 books left in night huntress but tbf vlad is one of my favourite characters! always elated when he appears.
@@MeganRhiannon I did a relisten of Morganville last year and I still liked it. I read it as a 50 something the first time. But I 😁still wish she'd ended up with Myrnin though.
megan consider me # influenced to go get some spooky colin rolls
u have no idea how happy i am for this to be my influence
I can't believe they asked you to leave! Honestly, I'd talk to a manager and be a total Karen about that
i think it was just too akward for her to handle lol
Glad I’m not the only one who still knows who the brat prince is. And fyi crave was terrible, don’t buy it
I’m sorry but I would 100% send a written complaint to M&S. Asking you to leave because you are crying and distressed is not ok. I would expect more from M&S to be honest xx
I commented on one of your older videos, but thought I should also comment on this most current ones so you see it. I love your videos - they are like real life lo-fi girl. Very calming to watch, but your transition sound - the loud static - is so upsetting. I’m in this nice, relaxing mood while watching, and then that loud, distressing static sound comes out of nowhere and my heart rate shoots up and my calm is gone. Not sure if I am alone in this - I have sensory issues regarding sounds. Just wanted to give you some constructive feedback. All that aside, your videos are lovely.
no one else has mentioned it but i’ll turn it down a bit!
Don’t know if you’ll see this or not (and I think you’ve turned it down some since the original was posted) but I’d like to say “ditto”! As a fellow person who experiences auditory overstimulation I *dread * the record scratch! Particularly if I’m listening but not watching- it feels so jarring 😓
I'm listening to your story around 23 minutes in and I have to stop to comment!!! If I see a young girl like yourself crying in the public bathroom, my first thought would be to ask if you are okay, if you need any help. Not to make you leave!!! So sorry it happened.
Not into theme, but is in truth that minimum salary in england is 1324 pounds per month?😳
I had a mega meltdown today, and am now lying in bed with a migraine from it all, so I can very much relate to your struggle ❤️🩹 I love the calming, cozy vibes of your videos, it’s the perfect way for me to try and calm down and unwind.
I really recommend ‘Salem’s Lot btw! I’m a big fan of vampires and it’s a really great read. Other Stephen King books I really enjoy and would recommend are The Shining (it’s very different from the movie!), Misery, The Long Walk, Pet Sematary, or if you’d prefer a short story collection Skeleton Crew. Stephen King’s books are kind of one of my comforts and special interests so I hope you don’t mind the recommendations!
i never mind the recommendations! i was really on the fence about salem's lot because i've only read a couple of stephen king's books! but i'll take another look ☠♥
