Long time no see! I've been slowly getting around to editing my travel vlogs so thank you for being patient with me. This particular video holds a special place in my heart as it was filmed during a challenging period of my life. If you caught the video before this one, you know that life threw a series of events at me within a week, making it emotionally taxing to navigate.
Opening up and being transparent online is not easy for me (but I am learning how to be better with every video!). In front of the camera, I strive to maintain a happy facade, but a lot of the time I am dealing with personal struggles that I shy away from sharing. The year 2023 brought its share of joy, but it also brought stress, anxiety, and many moments of sadness. Yet I firmly believe in the balance of the universe, and I am confident that overcoming the challenges of last year will pave the way for newfound happiness and growth in 2024.
I am genuinely excited for what this upcoming year holds, and I look forward to sharing more of my journey with you in the upcoming videos. Your support means the world to me, and I hope to bring you even better content in the new year ♥️
with all my love,
Julia

I'm sorry for your loss, Julia. When you said that you felt grateful to have visited him when he was still able to talk, to eat, to walk, I really resonated with that. I lost my grandpa three years ago during covid and was unable to visit him due to the travel restrictions, but I was able to visit him 3-4 months before he passed. He was well and able to walk and talk, so I was reminded of being grateful that God gave me the opportunity to see him before he passed away. I hope you'll continue to heal and make more and more memories with your loved ones who are still here.

Oh, Julia 💜 this part of growing up is the hardest, seeing our loved ones grow old and pass. Props to you for continuing this documentation, and you sharing about seeing your 爷爷 in your previous vlogs is a stark reminder for me to do that as well. I’m seeing my family this February for LNY - it’s gonna be an 18 hour flight. I’ll be keeping you in my mind and what you shared. I hope you’re taking the time to rest 💜

this was so hard to watch. its so hard to lose someone. Im so sorry for your loss. It's always good to have good memories with someone who passes. I lost my grandpa in 2019, and im grateful that i was in the same country with him and did have good memories, but grief is always tough and never linear.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Julia. I lost my grandads in 2012 and 2015 and this brought everything back. All we can do is be thankful for the memories we have, know that they were proud of us, and live life how they would want us to live - happy. All love.
