So happy to see you
Your honesty is cute ❤️
Thank youuuu💜
Your content is so interesting, it feels relaxing, refreshing, inspiring, motivating… I think we're the same age and I also find it hard to find people to talk about "deeper" things to. What you say in your videos make me feel less alone in many ways. Thank you for what you do <3
You are amazing Valerie, keep talking to us and share your thoughts. I want to hear also that I am not alone. 💛💚💙

A work of art
The best art vlog ever.. and maybe because it is not restricted to art. It makes you think about life, about everything. I keep surprising myself on the amount of times I pause your videos to think about what you're saying. Love your art and love your brain..Thank you to put it all out ♥️
The most essential thing you said for me today is to not be limited by trends. To be guided by fascination. Trends limit our perception and experience of life and our essential natures. To be guided by the miracles around us, unfiltered, is to be fully alive!
hey valerie!! i’m glad to see you’re doing fantastic, we love to see you develop!! thank you for being here ^^
You are a Philosopher Painter. You are so great AT making us thinking…. And I always wants to better myself after Watching your vidéos.
The coziness, the openness, the escape to another place(I live in the US, Arizona) This has become one of my favorite channels.
I just had to pause the video and comment. First of all I want to thank you for being such an inspiration. So much of hat you say resonates with me which is crazy given how different our backgrounds are. I'm a 30 year old single mother from the United States and yet I relate to a woman who lives on the other side of the world. Two people who tend to feel alone and misunderstand but this shows that's far from the case. I often say I'm the most deeply feeling detached person I know which would make no sense to so many people but I know you will understand. I've started to ask myself why on everything. Like why do I like classical music and I realized its because it literally makes me feel magical. When I listen to classical music it feels like I'm being transported through time, past lives, different dimensions, I've gotten my best idea's while listening to classical music. I feel as if I am a more spiritual take on things and you gear more towards logical but it still aligns which for me proves my belief that we are all connected, part of the same source but having different experiences. As you talk about fascination it makes me think about fantasyland who our whole world was built on fascination/fantasy. To go even further than everything begins with one line, one word…. I'd say everything begins as one thought, and while something is only in our thoughts don't we just consider that fantasy. A brick could not have been made if someone did not think of a brick first. Something that has fascinated me lately is how abstract the idea of different countries, towns and such are. It's truly just a manmade idea because if humans were to go extinct that idea wouldn't hold up. I'm sure the animals and plants don't call themselves Asian, European, or American lol. So it makes me think there really might be a bigger connection to realism and fantasy than we believe so to go off your words because our fascinations has led to all of the worlds creations. I just had to ramble a bit, my inner voice told me to go for it or as I say my intuition. Thank you so much for sharing and being so open providing such a safe space for all of us to share.
this video was exactly what i needed ♥️
