Hey friends! Thanks so much for watching this one. I thought it would be nice to catch up a little bit today before we jump into SIX brand new California/Disneyland vlogs!! I'm at the cinema seeing the new Spider-Man tonight, but I can't wait to read all your comments when I come out later, so big thanks for being here and for all your love xxx
I think itβs so important for people to realize it is okay to take a break. An hour, a day, a week, at ANY time you need it. If vlogs have to wait a week, that is okay. People will still watch. Give yourself the time and space to just be a human being. Thereβs a whole life outside of online content. Donβt forget to live that life too. All the best β€ looking forward to the California vlogs.
Excited for all the California vlogs!! Just excited to have your vlogs back in general π€ͺ
It does feel heavy in the world & online too. The use of AI & bots are bleak. Thatβs why channels like yours are beloved by people. Itβs real. Youβre doing your best, no one can ask any more of you. Hereβs to a little break & a chance to rest. Iβm here. xx
What a great and honest vlog, I really enjoy and appreciate all of them but mostly love the human behind it. Iβm glad you got some time for you, life goes fast and we all need some time to reflect and take care of ourselves. Sending you lots of positive energy β€β€β€
Brogan never change - we love you for you and echo those comments about how you make so many of us feel relaxed and content. I wish there were more people like you in this world! Xx
Iβm normally a silent subscriber but the part in your video where you spoke about feeling the need to keep up with trends and AI slop struck a chord with me as someone who works in the industry. Content fatigue is such a thing at the moment, to the point where Iβve unfollowed so many creators who are churning out content they donβt really enjoy. The reason why you and Benji are my number one comfort watch and go to is because your content is so refreshing, itβs completely authentic to you and the things you adore, and thatβs so obvious, even through a screen. So never feel you need to change that, the fact youβve stayed true to it all this time is why youβre reaping the reward with opportunities and success. Keep doing you (and make sure to rest and give yourself grace when needed)β€οΈ
Brogan, this was once again so refreshing & vulnerable! You are truly my comfort watch. Thank you for continuing to be such a bright spot in an otherwise dark world! You nailed it with letting your inner child thrive!
I totally get it about letting your inner child out. Iβm 56 and she still comes out every now and then. Work colleagues donβt understand they asked me, why I go to Disneyland every couple of years. I said go and you just make learn something about yourself like you still have an inner child. β€β€ looking forward to the vlogsπ
You and Benji bring us so much joy π itβs ok to slow down and take a time out for yourself π thank you for this community you brighten up our lives xx
I respect your honesty with this. With this online world, thereβs a sense of immediacy where we all expect things when we want them, we donβt expect things, or people, to drop off because then what do we do?! I think youβre a legend and love your videos. Taking breaks shows youβre human and gains a lot of respect from those of us who genuinely love you and what you do. β€
You are an amazing YouTuber. I can't even imagine the drain of posting every week, I get that this is a 'job' but it is also your regular life. Build in some downtime into your routine so hopefully you won't completely burn out. I love your content. π
Your video are so wholesome and love to watch you and Benji. Enjoyed this chilled style video.
We love you and Benji take all the time you need we can what for your lovely videos sending lots of love to you both from Australia
Oh Brogan! Just be yourself. You make so many people happy. But take time for yourself. Your vlogs make me smile and I get excited when I see youβve posted! Keep up the fun and hard work. Itβs appreciated!β€
everything you mentioned was so REAL!! Itβs so important to never let anyone make you loose your whimsy, expressing the things you love makes over people feel seen for loving those same things π₯Ίβ¨ππΌ the girlies that get it get it and weβre always rooting for you!!π
As much as we are all excited for another vlog of yours, your well being is always what's important because more than the travel and lifestyle updates, it's your energy (and Benji's) that make the vlog interesting! Will recommend that you plot home breaks/recover in your schedule similar to how you schedule travellsince this let's you recharge and get your bearings back. Thanks for this chit chat! Excited for California vlogs!
I love your thoughts about 'growing up' β€ I think exactly the same! Me and my partner are so silly together and embrace our inner child selves! To the point where we have conversations with our stuffed toys in their voices π
Dear Brogan, I really appreciated this update, especially because of your honest reflections. You know, I haven't always thought this, but I think you're a much more mature and deep person than you might seem. In a world that constantly tries to make us all fit the same mold, seeing how joyfully and naturally you nurture your passions and chase your dreams is truly inspiring. I think the message you got from that eleven-year-old girl really captures and sums up everything that matters. Itβs true, you and Benji get to have incredible experiences and dream trips that most of us can only afford maybe once in a lifetime, or at least not with your frequency. But it's great to see that, despite all that, you guys haven't let it get to your heads: you're always so grateful for your lifestyle and you never take it for granted. That's totally clear in this video, where you openly share your worries about your future on YouTube and show the more fragile, vulnerable side of being constantly exposed on social media and having to churn out content just to stay visible. I think you're a very sensitive person, and that sensitivity of yours is such a precious value in today's world. I reckon your followers keep following you because you can still feel the genuine person behind the content creator. I can't wait to enjoy the California vlogs: I went there in 2024 and it was one of the best trips of my life, if not the absolute best. Itβs gonna be so much fun reliving Disneyland and Universal with you and Benji, and especially getting inside the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank thanks to you guys! β₯οΈ Your videos are so nice to watch and keep me company. Thank you π
I think the world would be a boring place if we were the same. Being ourselves without fear is sometimes difficult, Iβm 53 and still working on my authentic self. Iβve been here since before Benji when you did weekly vlogs and lived in your flat and will still be here. Love watching your videos x
