Life Update + Member of the Month Re-Draw 👀
Added 2023-01-13 07:26:30 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I'm here to provide a bit of a life update, where I kinda get a little real with y'all about things that have been going on, both the bad and the GOOD and exciting, especially as it relates to my channel and such. I also did a re-draw of the Member of the Month for January! Big congrats to Dylan S. on being drawn! I have sent you a DM.
Thanks for watching everyone. This space and what I do means so much to me. ❤️

- This must be a first time viewing reaction. You must check my Letterboxd watched list to confirm your movie choice is not on there. Do not DM me asking if I've seen your movie choice.
- The film must be available for me online in Canada, either to purchase, rent, or to stream. I am not willing to illegally download/torrent films and I don't have any other method to watch films with, such as Blu-Ray or DVD.
- No anime films. Period.
- No foreign films (this may change down the road).

Yep, completely agree!

2023-01-14 02:18:44 +0000 UTCYeah, we are both "northerners" (even though I'm a southerner by Norwegian standards, as we have a decent part of the population living north of the polar circle). I'm also pretty sure that we're wired to slow down as the days gets significantly shorter. Our fast-paced modern society however has not existed remotely long enough to do any significant change to that biological wiring. If it ever will.

2023-01-13 23:59:01 +0000 UTCThanks so much Rune, that means a lot! You're right, it is a tough nut to crack. I often remember that our early ancestors used winter to rest and recharge, because it was cold and dark. Even though we have a societal structure in which we can't do that today, I'm pretty sure that biologically we're still wired to slow down during these months. Well, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere right now at least. Appreciate the kind words about how you feel here - that makes me happy! You all are so wonderful here. It makes doing this so much fun.

2023-01-13 23:28:06 +0000 UTCThat circle of stress, when you try to calm down to unwind and process things but end up being stressed again for not getting the things you had planned done, is a tough nut to crack. For me, the key was to realize that sometime you just have to take a breather and find your inner peace again. And even if it is annoying that this leaves something left undone, then that isn't your fault and you CAN do that later. It was the friendly atmosphere and sincere excitement in your early Star Wars reactions (that I stumbled across on Youtube) that brought me here to your Patreon. And it is the continuation of this and your other written updates with a level of transparency of the development of your channels (beyond anything I've seen from other creators), plus your active interaction that keeps me here. And although I don't know you outside of the content and replies you make, this all makes me care about you the same way I care about my friends. So, as much as I would love to find a new full length reaction here every day of the week, I most of all want you to be well and in good health. And for times when you're not, I prefer that you spend the time you need on yourself, to process it all 💜 "Take your time, it's fine, we're patient, it's all good" Yeah, you summed it up perfectly 😊 As for the good news, I'm really looking forward to see the collab reactions 😀 And I'm happy to hear you've had success with regards to the meeting. From an earlier job I've had with a very irregular income I know how hard it is to plan anything when you never know how much you're gonna make next month, so every little bit extra helps a lot.

2023-01-13 20:50:14 +0000 UTCI'm sorry you've been dealing with some shit too, Absher. Relationship problems are certainly not a fun time either. Hopefully things will look up for you soon! Def get some snowboarding in to take the edge off. I'm excited to announce it once we are ready to go! Thanks for the kind words as always.

2023-01-13 20:46:32 +0000 UTCSpeaking of this community your survey prompted me to download Discord (which I have never used before) and sync up. Now I just have to make the time to introduce myself. Looking forward to chatting with others out in the world. 🙂

2023-01-13 19:13:20 +0000 UTCThis really hit home. I’ve been consumed lately with relationship problems. Yesterday I was so distracted by it that I barely got any work done myself. I totally understand the struggle. Looking forward to the collaboration and I have a guess as to who it might be and I’m sure I’ll be wrong haha. I love George and Simone’s channel, they’re both awesome. Take care of yourself Kaiielle

2023-01-13 17:31:51 +0000 UTCLike I tell the artist I'm a patreon of, your health mental&physical comes first. Content comes second. (back into the silence void I go)

2023-01-13 16:12:33 +0000 UTCThanks Bryan, that means a lot and I'm glad that my videos and this community were able to bring you some peace during that stressful time in your life. On the flipside, I feel more at ease this morning reading these comments. I appreciate you all!

2023-01-13 16:12:04 +0000 UTCIke, thank you LOL. I would never take a big break. Well, I say that, but I don't think I ever would unless I was going traveling to a new country. I certainly don't feel THAT stressed. But thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it a lot.

2023-01-13 16:11:04 +0000 UTCThanks Gath. 😊 Appreciate it!

2023-01-13 16:10:04 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need kaielle. Personal stuff always comes first, just know we'll always be here to support you no matter what. 🙂

2023-01-13 13:50:24 +0000 UTCKL, stress is a real killer. Heck, being open about stress can be stressful too. Take care of yourself and good things will follow. Remember, you’re worth waiting for. I came across your channel this past summer during one of the most stressful times in my life. I had no idea how it would turn out but I’m on the other side now. I wish I could articulate how much your personality, sincerity, and wit, make your reactions a joy to watch and made a hard time tolerable. Gave me something to look forward to. In deference for what you did for me (unknowingly) I offer my patience and understanding. I will be here for the next video. Take care of yourself.

2023-01-13 12:44:50 +0000 UTCKaiielle, stop it. You have NO idea what we’re going to say… but take your time, do you, and your health comes first - haha. If you need to need to yell at someone… yell at Jake because I have two teenagers and do enough yelling for the both of us LOL. Seriously, last time I was in a tremendous amount of stress - I had to start cutting bait - that included coaching, tutoring, driving across town… everything was on table, even promises. I picked up the pieces later and people were more understanding than I gave them credit for. Ex. That “Member of the Month” stuff? Too much for me to read with two kids. I put that in the don’t care right now column for now. Me first, Kaiielle. Me first! lol I promise not to take it personally if you post a notice saying “I’m taking a BIG BREAK. It may be permanent I dunno, but I gotta go figure some shit out.” I think I would just smile. 😁

2023-01-13 11:49:06 +0000 UTCSorry about the stress. Hang in there, it will pass *patpat* Me saying this probably won't help in any way, but there's no rush, so take all the time you need. Your health comes first, so remember to keep some time for yourself too. Sending positive thoughts.

2023-01-13 10:39:43 +0000 UTCThank you Jake! Thank you for being there and for all the work you do to help me out too, so very appreciated. (For those reading this who may not know, Jake is one of my mods on Twitch and YouTube.)
kaiielle
2023-01-13 07:39:51 +0000 UTCSending you lots of love my friend, and you know this already but my messages are always open if you need anything, even if it’s just to yell into the void ❤️
