Why I Left YouTube... and Can Anyone Help Me with Something?

  • - please be kind -
    I debated for weeks whether I should even make this video, but I came to the conclusion that I wanted to normalize talking about the difficult moments in my life and that not talking about it never really helped. If anything, it placed the difficulties on some kind of weird pedestal that almost made it feel stigmatized to be honest about it. I'm having a really hard time putting it into words here, I'm not sure if that made any sense. Anyway, thank you for watching and for all the support you've given me already. Like I said in the video, we are all trying to figure out a balance in all of this and everything seems pretty steady right now, so it feels like a good opportunity to start sharing and vlogging again. I hope you'll stick around and help me revive this channel while I find myself again.

    The last thing I think you owe any of us is an apology. Life came at you sideways and you did the right thing in caring for your dad. And you've got a 10-month old daughter, too! You're amazing! You're an amazing daughter and an amazing mother. Thank you for the update video and I'm glad to know your dad is doing better. Much love for you and your family.

When things are good, you want to hold onto that feeling and hope that it stays. Right now, we are holding onto the good and comments like yours helps to preserve the positivity. Thank you again

Your tenacity, energy, and kindness was something that encouraged me to keep going through those tough years, and for that I'll be eternally grateful. Please keep being amazing. Please keep your head up. You're an astounding mother, daughter, and content creator, and I'm sure I can speak for us all when I say you'll forever garner our respect, patience, and support. So never beat yourself up or hold yourself back. From what you've shared and what I've witnessed for over a decade, there's no room to question whether you're just a "good" person on screen. The strength you've exemplified through your consistent perseverance, benevolence, and altruism is simply astonishing.

    Okay, so update on the Ohtani thing... Apparently his locker was cleared out and he (2nd update) just went in for his Tommy John surgery. So... sadly for us, that's not happening. I can't lie, I'm pretty sad about this one. Really thought I'd be able to take my dad to our first baseball game together.

    I'm almost 30yo.
    I was diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 colon cancer back in 2021.
    After few chemo cycles I was able to get a surgery because tumours shrunk.
    I had to do 40 more cycles of chemo but now I'm NED for 8 months.
    Never lose hope.
    What you're doing for your dad is amazing.
    愛理ちゃん is perfect and Mike seems as wonderful as always. Your dad has a lovely family to support him and I'm so glad for him since I couldn't have gone through all of it without support from my family.
    I've been watching you since SF days and as a Japanese wanting to learn english and foreign culture, you're one of my inspiration!
    I'm excited for your return but please don't overwork.
    Wishing you all the best.

    As someone who has dealt with 3 family members with cancer (2 entered hospice and are no longer with us) I just want to say I'm glad your dad is doing better. As one of the primary care giver at the time just being 17-18 y.o in highschool as well I know how daunting of a task it can be. Having someone willing to support you during this time is such a relief, at the time I was dating my now Wife at 24 and as much as I wished they were both still here I know they impacted me very much few years later as an adult who finally found his footing in the world of cyber security. Cherishing the time you have with loved ones is a great thing and am glad to hear you are able to do this with your dad especially with him doing better. One of my biggest regrets is not spending as much time with my Uncle so hearing that you are doing that trip and in general spending time with your dad is such a great thing to me. I am sure he will be doing just fine and wish you and your family nothing but the best. Looking forward to the vids when you are able too upload!

    I am happy that your dad is responding to the treatment. My father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2016. Which coincidentally was also the same year I had my first born. For the sake of you not having to google it, it is a blood cancer that attacks his bones. We were lucky they found it before it had gotten to stage 2, but he did end up having to have a stem cell replacement procedure which has reduced the cancer to almost zero. He still has to be on a pill that is a management dose of chemo because if he is off of it completely it starts to come back. I will say that when the cancer is under control the next hardest stage is watching your dad age so fast while on a management dose. The brain fog is real too so even though it gets really hard to not be upset when he forgets things or insists his memory is better than yours, try to be patient because that is not under his control. I hope your dad continues to improve and you keep enjoying your little one.

Some of us are still here and wish you and your dad the best in these times. Plus you have a kid so i know your time is precious. Shoutout to your husband for being there supporting you. I hope someone out there knows a way for your dad to meet the baseball player!

    Your content gave me much joy over the time I've been following you, so I want to give you something back. Don't give up on your Dads dream, it's still possible to come true, even if it's not the way you hoped for.

      I am weeping as I reply to you- there are not enough ways to thank you for such a lovely comment. I am so happy my content can bring you joy. You never have to give me anything in return for that- your watching my videos is more than enough. So truly, thank you so so much ❤

    Sending so much love Reina. You are doing the best you can with the cards you were dealt. We'll support whatever you decide to do and know we're thinking of you and your family during this trying time. Seeing my sister battle brain cancer at the age of 19 was such a hard experience but I'm grateful she's thriving now as a 26 year old and has been in remission for 6 years. Hoping that your dad can continue fighting.

    My Dad had lung cancer last year and after our journey of chemo, a surgery, and some unexpected scary moments, he’s in remission now and I feel so blessed but it was scary. I went dark a few times myself. But once we got that hope we knew we could get through it. Sending blessings to you and your families way! ❤ Hang in there!

    I went through a similar thing when my mother was hospitalized with one of the most severe cases of strokes out there, it is so difficult to get back to how things were and even after the few years, its tough, and I almost find myself in a similar situation as you, Reina, so this story really hits home, I've been a long time supporter of your journey and we'll be here for this next chapter, LETS GOOOOO

    Being the main caretaker is really hard. My mom and I took care of my grandparents when they were sick until they passed away. Please know that my heart goes out to you as you take care of your dad and your sweet baby. You are doing great and I’m cheering you on 💕

    Hey, just know that you are not alone. Last year my mother's breast cancer metastasized to her pleura, and like you, I was the one caring for her. She had to have pleuracentesis a few times and had other health complications over the year that made cancer treatment difficult. I'm glad your dad has had improvement, good luck to his and your health.

    Hey listen, you're the type of youtuber that I don't expect to have content pumped out constantly. Especially after you had your precious baby! I always hoped we get new content but I just patiently waited because I know life is a thing. Your best content comes from your life and if it takes a while to make a video, then that's just what it is. I'm so happy you gave us an update! YT algo didn't even let me know you had a new video until today (3 days later), but I was so happy to see it! You give us some real sincere shit and that's what is really nice about your content.
    I'm a 30-something chinese/mexican female (soon to be married to my best friend of over a dozen years!), in California, and I just want to send you all my love! Your videos help give a lot of perspective that hopefully aids viewers in their own journeys. I feel similarly with my own fiancé/best friend in that there are many things that would have been so much more miserable without their support and compassion and steady nature. It is wonderful you can watch your relationship developed with your husband/daughter and use it to push forward in your own relationship with your dad. I had a rough time with my family growing up but it is through my fiancé that I can hopefully make meaningful connections where gaps are.
    The way you so succinctly plan and talk about through these videos is very well thought out and we can see the effort placed in it. Don't feel afraid to get into the nitty gritty. I think your viewers can handle real situations and by sharing, you can really help others not feel so alone about similar situations as well. There's a million ways we, as humans, go through things, and your drop in the perspective-bucket is nothing but help.
    Btw, loving your fuller face. You're looking amazing, confident, sexy, cute! Please continue to eat well! Food is so healing. Find comfort and connection in it, even during these hard times.

    Also, it was so nice to see a post from you again. It's been so long! I'm glad you're coming back for regular videos!! Please keep us updated on what's going on with him. And hopefully he'll go into complete remission and can live the rest of his life pain free and not have to worry so much about it. I wish you all of the luck! Also, congrats on the baby. Sending lots of healing vibes your way. Love you all. And tell your husband he's awesome! ❤

    @tkmia Před 9 měsíci +7

    I lost my grandparents within a year of each other. My grandmother had beaten cancer but unfortunately it returned for a second time. I know the relationship with grandparents versus parents is different but my experience is still confusing, hurt, and I still feel its lasting impacts.
    It took me awhile to get back into the grove of my hobbies and passions, one of them being content creation so please don’t apologize for the break.
    He’s in my thoughts and I hope he can achieve his Ohtani dream! ❤

    Sending lots of love your way 💕what a whirlwind of a year it's been for you! I totally get why you feel the need to apologize for your absence, but I wish so much that you didn't feel like you had to. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that the subscribers who truly care about you will still be here, weather you take a week off or a year off. Life happens, and sometimes it's just too much 💕
    As someone who helped care for my dad while he battled brain cancer back in 2012, I deeply feel for you. Being a caregiver is HARD. Seeing your parent at their sickest is HARD. Please remember to find time to take care of yourself. I know how tough that can be, but just remember to be kind to yourself and take things one day at a time. I'm so glad you have Mike to support you during this time. 💕
    Side note, I am going to Japan for the first time in November, and watching your videos for the past several years has helped me tremendously in preparing for my trip! I can't thank you enough for the work that you do. ☺

  • @robbinova
    @robbinova Před 9 měsíci

    I definitely understand what you're going through. My mother had an amputation due to diabetes this year and because of that a lot of other issues surfaces such as her heart and kidney functions being really bad so she's been in and out of the hospital the last three months and I unfortunately live in a different country so travelling back and forth, working and being her heath care representative have been incredibly stressful and anxiety inducing, not knowing what will happen and when. Just when you feel like things are going well something happens that just makes you lose hope. I feel like I'm on edge every time I get a call or every time the doctors come into her room. It's scary. Seeing someone you love go through so much pain both mentally and physically and not being able to do anything about it. I'm so glad that your father is in a better place now with cancer and I hope that he continues to recover successfully! ❤
