NEW VIDEO! Shame
🕑 Added 2020-02-16 04:54:14 +0000 UTCHi friends,
Here it is, a new video!
I guess you could consider this part two in my series of depression content lol. I've had a rough winter, but these videos have been cathartic to make.
Both this one and Canceling have taken very personal approach to topics that also have a lot of political relevance. I'd like to revisit both topics in future videos and take the more political approach. And when I do it'll be nice to be able to refer back to the personal intensity of these videos.
Hope you enjoy the video, and as always let me know what you think!
All my <333
Natalie
P.S. I'll be posting a few times in the next week to schedule the AMA and let you know about some other upcoming projects!

Idk if anyone reads comments on old posts but holy hell Natalie this video is the only piece of media that can comfort me right now. I'm sitting here crying and eating 4 servings of pizza rolls because my best friend hasn't spoken to me in 2 months. They're not speaking to me because they figured out I had a crush on them (read: was hopelessly in love with them) and wanted time apart. Honestly, good for them, probably for the best. I have been pushing my attraction to them down for our entire friendship. Nine years lmao. They've always been aromantic and asexual, so I was absolutely using their sexuality to shield me from possible pain. "Well, it's not that I'm being rejected, they just could never like me like that!". Well guess what loser they have a partner now that's close enough to my gender for me to be in pain. They've basically replaced me! But I know that's the sad brain talking, that's not entirely true. This doesn't question my sexuality, but it does make me re-think my own long-term relationship. He's great, but after confronting my feelings for my own Joanne...I mean. That was /love/. I don't think I've felt that way about my partner in years... I don't know what to do except watch this video 800 times. Thank you for making me feel less alone in this hellish moment <3
Dear Natalie I wanted to send you some para-social good wishes. It looks like you have had a very very bumpy time. I hope 2023 is much better for you. You are very brave "showing the world your diary", each video you make. I would not be able to let the world see my innermost private thoughts as you do, and I hope it is cathartic. I hope too, that if it ever stops being cathartic, you would feel like you could tell your friends, family, and patrioners, saying "folks, this is not helping me any more, so I quit". I only want you to keep making this videos if you okay about it. Like, mate, your videos are absolutely incredible and I look forward to each new one, but only if you're taking care of yourself too. Sorry if i sound patronizing. Take care, eh? Dan
