  • Hello, dear ones!
    And so, the saga continues...and we all do our best to adjust and then carry on. I hope you've had a good day today, but if not, that's totally okay, I completely understand. This is all but a chapter (with a giant plot twist) and we're turning pages day by day, hoping to get to a point when it allll makes sense (how very poetic). Right now in this moment, I hope you find this video relatable and it helps you to feel less alone. In the least, I hope it makes you smile :)
    Thank you, always, for being here friends!
    If you or someone you know in the Portland, OR area is in need of a videographer/photographer/copy writer please do let me know!
    Big, BIG hugs,
    Morgan 💛

    I was a freelancer in the creative industries for many years, I went through this kind if thing a few times (in non-corona life). There are ALWAYS times like this when the work dries up. Try not to guilt yourself for the days when you feel over-whelmed and can’t do much. You cannot force creativity. You will figure it out. And you will learn how much you can rely on yourself in the process - and that is incredibly valuable ☺️

    I watched this when it was uploaded and now I'm coming back to it feeling all the feels at 20:31Min because I and it seems a lot of others see ourselves reflected in your face at that moment.

    as someone that is also goal oriented I also feel like time is very different. On one hand I've worked out more, read more books this month then probably any month in the pasta few years but on the other hand I feel like I have done very little. It's strange when jobs are up in the air and everything is a question mark, especially when you are someone that wants to be working towards goals

    • @MorganLong
      @MorganLong  Před 4 lety +1

      EXACTLY. I couldn't have put it better myself. The key during this time is figuring out how to be okay with small, self-care focused goals. And maybe also how to take baby steps towards those other big goals within the constraints we're all currently under.

  • @Obidos
    @Obidos Před 4 lety +7

    I first want to say I love your videos. They are so calming and I always look forward to them. I really feel for what you are going through. Something that has helped me through all this is just taking things as they come, day by day. I also felt like I was wasting time but once I realized that it was OKAY to rest and that maybe I needed this time to rest/waste time/thing about my life I started to feel less stressed about it. By allowing myself to just feel the things I needed to feel (the sadness over the loss of my normal routine/life and the anxiety of what was going to happen after all this), it had helped me process things. The world feel out of our control right now but just try to focus on what you can do right now. We are all going to get through this one way or another. Good luck chica.

    Sometime during living/working/being remotely, I tortured myself by looking at videos of Mount Hood---Portland and Oregon are my favorite places to visit. Your Mt. Hood video popped up and introduced me to you. Then the Yachats video. Torture! :) In the best way. I immediately subscribed and have almost seen your full archive, save for a few early ones. Judging by the views and comments, people really need and appreciate the messages and the character you're sending out into the world. It's been lovely to enjoy it. But this video pushed me to comment when I hadn't before, because I think the best of us have struggled---obviously, some more than others---so I just wanted to say thank you for all the people who are watching your videos and gaining so much positivity and insight. But also, to help all of your audience feel less alone at those times when it seems like we're not doing "this" (meaning, current life and changes to it) very well. I'm writing all of this in too formal a way i think. More simply---this is the video I know I needed today. Thank you.

Enjoy small things in our life to distract our mind and treat this as a character building event. We all love your video, it’s so comfortable to watch and full of good vibes. I love your voice too, so calming and happy. Hang in there! We all love you and will be with you!

    Thank you once again for bringing joy to many, even though you may not be feeling full joy yourself. You are reminding yourself and us every time you vlog that joy is found in the simplest of things (the oj looked delicious!) It seems strange to say this because you don't know me, but you have been in my thoughts since watching the vlog and I wish only the very best for you and that work will pick up again very soon. You have such talent, creativity and passion for what you do, people will see that and want you on their team. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Enjoy playing with Mr Roo and losing yourself on a good book. Cheers to you, with my peppermint tea. ☀️

    Well it’s been two months since you posted this and I just watched it but I just wanted to say that your talk almost at the end was so relatable and really comforted me actually haha. I fortunately haven’t had a very hard time during this pandemic but since I finished school I’ve been feeling very low and empty, like I want to do a lot of stuff just like you and I don’t even know how I waste all the day. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you so much for those thoughts, I hadn’t realized how much I needed them. And also, I wanted to tell you that while you were saying all that stuff I just wanted to hug you haha, I hope everything is better now

    Dear Morgan, thank you again for this little gem. Yes, it is crazy how our notion of time changes in these times; I'm experiencing the same thing and it baffles me. I also feel like my attention span is reduced and hectic, so instead of dealing discourage by a big task, I now divide them into tiny ones. It is indeed a crazy time and we cope with it in manners we can't have foreseen or even understand. So don't be too hard on yourself if some days you feel like you aren't as productive as you wish. Talking to your loved one is being productive, in a way, as you are connecting with people and it is important too! :) N'oublie pas de voir le beau *Virtual Hug* Upwards and onwards! (and please continue these beauties of videos, this is always so perfect!)

    19:00 is the most relatable thing I have heard, I know how discouraging it feels to have several un-productive days but as long as you're giving yourself the time, you'll hopefully get back on track. I have been finding it so hard not to have contact with my family and friends (other than face time), and having a lot of work to do doesn't help, but I am sure that we're all trying our best to make it through these hard times.

    Sweet Morgan! I am sending a giant hug your way. I can’t imagine all of the emotions you must be feeling - but just as you said, know you are not alone. You always have a sense of calm, peace, and positivity and I admire it so much. It will absolutely all be okay 💓 Thanks for this lovely vlog!

      Meredith!! Do you know how very few people I actually personally know watch my videos?? I can count them on one hand! Thank you so so sooo very much 💕
      Your giant hug feels wonderful and your words are so encouraging 🤗 The other day I was remembering the time in high school when I had run out of lunch food and you so kindly packed a lunch for me-- you have always been such a good friend and an overall kind sunbeam of a person ✨
      Thank you, friend!

    Girl I wanna give you a virtual hug! I’ve been feeling the EXACT SAME WAY! I’m trying my hand at teaching Kindergarten from home.. and feel like I’m failing. Sleep is wonky, house is a mess, can’t focus to read for very long, just all over the place... you aren’t alone. A lot of us are struggling with this. But give yourself some grace. This is a worldwide pandemic! Nothing like any of us have seen before. It’s ok to lose days to whatever you are losing days to. But keep making your lists. Even short ones. Put one thing down like: make your bed, just so you can feel like you accomplished something! That’s how we’re making it through ❤️
    Fist to the air girl! Keep that positivity up!

I've thought about doing monthly phone background illustrations with quotes from the books I'm reading?... Also maybe videography lessons? Is there anything you'd appreciate seeing on my hypothetical patreon?

      These days have been so confusing. My brain just feels stuck. Have you seen the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? There's this one scene in one of the later movies where Jack Sparrow is in this white rocky landscape and everything's dry and abstract-- that's what my brain feels like when I realize 4 hours have gone by and I've done nothing remotely productive.
      It's all temporary though! You're so right-- one day at a time, small things, and self care

    I can appreciate and resonate with everything you are saying! I honestly believe the hardest, and simultaneously the best, thing this difficult time has showed us is the importance of slowing down. I have slacked off as well lately, but I feel that after working so hard for so long it is good for people to take some down time! As hard as it is, and as "unproductive" as we may feel, it is OKAY to take a day every now and then to drink a cup of tea and reflect. Take time to pick up a new hobby, finish that book, try new recipes. Again, I can understand and appreciate what you are saying about feeling so unproductive. However, try not to be too hard on yourself. When is the last time we all took a day and literally did nothing? It is good for the soul to rest and recharge

Story of my life over quarantine has been thinking about and attempting to get so much done (especially the house cleaning!) and somehow the day slips by and I accomplish nothing.. 🤔 I can also relate to being laid off and facing uncertainty but I also keep telling myself it will be okay. 😉 Haha, I also live in Portland 🌲and here we are in July and I still need to rotate my spring/summer wardrobe! I think because I'm in comfy pjs or yoga attire being home so much! You have inspired me to get to work on my closet and house cleaning! I love the bright, joyful vibe of your video mixed with honesty about how you're feeling. 💗 Also, your home is gorgeous!

    This is the problem with YT. You have to be quite big to make a lot of money, which means people will make videos that are not necessarily high quality but more attention seeking kind of. And as soon some gets really big you usually cannot expect answers on your comments anymore because they get just too many. :/ But I am happy you are optimistic. We need this during these times.

    Two videos later... I'm back! O/ I watched both of your previous videos, but I couldn't comment. My laptop broke and it was the first time during this entire quarentine that I felt bad. I was just like Ross screaming "Why bad things happen to good people?" HAHAHHAHAHAH I teach online, but just like you I had some of my classes reduced, so at the time I though "It's ok, I can spend less, and I always have some money save" and then... I had to buy a new computer. I felt super down, and I was not productive, just as you said it , I always have goals, I'm also super organized, so it was that unpredictable moment that hit me.
    I'm not gonna say that I'm happy that your house was a mess, but now I feel that it's okay that mine is a bit messy too because I'm not alone HAHAHA I hope you could find the motivation to keep doing what you wanted to do.
    Now, that you are going to work less hours, are you going to upload more videos on YT?
    And please, update us on your drawing journey. I wish we could attach files here, but last week I finished my first drawing for my classes online. I had a lot of fun doing it, I can see some things that I could improve, but it was just the first one, so I'll have time to get better at drawing.

      I'm so sorry to hear about your laptop fiasco!! The same thing happened to me last year and it was such a struggle to get a new laptop but once I had one, I felt super fancy and brand new.
      I'm glad you're keeping up with your drawing class!! It's so exciting to learn new things!
      I haven't had much time to draw or read. Making CZcams videos takes up a lot of time (20+ hours a video!). I would love to make more of them when my job stops but I'll also need to dedicate that time to finding more work. If I had it my way, I'd be able to make 3 videos a week AND draw AND read and explore and get outside with friends-- that is my ideal life! There has to be a way to make it happen AND make money.

    You got so much done for a day that is about rest and replenishment! I find talking on the phone and sending messages to loved ones takes a lot of energy and time as it is more natural for us to spend time with others in person, so that's an accomplishment in and of itself to nurture relationships whether it is a quick chat with the neighbours or a video call with a family member. You have a lovely home too, by the way, so warm and cosy.
    All the best wishes for the new chapter in your career, I really think that it will be OK in the end even if it's tiring and hard for the moment. I've been there myself with losing jobs/work and, as you say, most of the time it's no reflection of us as people. What you say about keeping your mind focused on the good and that it's going to be OK really helps me, because of the quarantine my boyfriend and I can't live together at the moment and I miss him terribly but I know that we will get through this and things will get better eventually and to just enjoy what I have now.
