I'm very sorry that I cannot answer them all here, but I'll try to return to the community page periodically and answer more. Forgive the very quiet and imperfect audio--that's exactly why I test my mics and I'll improve it for next time! Thank you for being a part of my test. I'll have a real video coming quite soon. A very happy and safe 4th to all my American friends!

I appreciate your message about parenthood; I judge myself harshly when it comes to being a father. My wife recently passed away a month after the birth of our 5th child. She was a stay at home Mom and so loving and tender in ways I fail to be.. and I am scrambling to pick up the peices of our life while missing her as the most important person in my life. The struggle is real. Let's all try our best and let go of the outcome.

I cannot express my condolences properly--nobody should have to endure the kind of loss and suffering you and your family are experiencing. I know nothing I can say will make it any easier for you, but I can tell that the love you have for her lives on inside you. It lives inside your children, too. Together, you each hold precious parts of her and can reflect her love upon one another. Please trust that your heart holds all the love and all the strength that your family needs, even if it looks different than hers, even if it feels imperfect or incomplete. Because it IS everything. And I am wishing you love and comfort.

You’re back!!! 🎊 🎉❤ You have no idea how happy that makes me!!!

Spring!!! I am so glad you're back!!! I watched you when you were around 10 years ago; I remember your Library roleplay so vividly, and I would always come back to your Stardew Valley videos. When I first watched you, I was in a very bad place. Very toxic relationship and very bad relationship with my family. It was a dark time, and was really hard on me mentally. Your videos were always so relaxing, and really helped me. I just wanted to say thank you

Yay! really appreciate that you take the time and effort to do these! ^.^ I'm sure these will always be appreciated by those that would appreciate them when they do! :)

Your lovely & thoughtful voice inhabited my in and out dreams. Most remarkable. Thank you and very best regards!

Hi, Spring. I really appreciate your inspiring comments on parenthood and on not judging ourselves in the process of showing up for someone else and for ourselves. On giving ourselves grace. Your wisdom and kind voice are so helpful to me right now. I am not a mother but have become a caregiver, and I find myself judging myself for imperfection without realizing it. Your comment to "Just save a sliver of that grace for yourself" is very meaningful. You make a difference to so many people. I have been sending you prayers for healing. Thank you, and take care of yourself. -- Melissa

I truly hope that that your son and husband know how lucky they are to have you.

This is a rare channel y'all. I was excited to see a new relaxing post from springbok, which then revealed itself to be a heartfeltl treatise on parenthood, horror novels and zoroastrianism. Is there another channel more sincere and inspiring? I think not.

Wonderful. Possibly the only person on KZread who truly “gets” ASMR. I have banged on about it before, but it’s absolutely NOT sexual. Springbok’s interview when reviewing a photo portfolio remains a high water mark for me. My first encounter with ASMR happened when I was around 9 or 10 years old. I had a scrapbook of WW2 aircraft, and we had an insurance agent who collected my parent’s subscriptions on a Friday. He took an interest in my scrapbook, and sat intently looking at each page. It was (I think) that act which triggered ASMR for the first time. Basically, my brain felt like it was floating in a warmed bowl of syrup. On the rare occasions that ASMR is triggered, it tends to be when someone takes an interest in something I have created (especially written work). Springbok’s interview is to this day, the only video that triggers ASMR every single time I listen to it.

Happy & safe 4th to you as well Spring🫶🏼

Honestly, Spring, you're so incredibly smart that I can guarantee the education you're providing to your son is vastly above and beyond what a school can do. He's so very lucky to have you. As someone who is autistic (super late diagnosed), I can't imagine how much I would've benefitted from early diagnosis and treatment. I try not to think about it lol

1:20:15 I assure you, there's no way someone as down to earth & cool as you could ever come across as self-indulgent with these talks Thanks for the chill vibes, & esp for sharing your 2 cents about family life

I also have a 6 yo little boy who is 100mph and I just want to say how brave and creative you are. What you are doing takes such strength with regards to home schooling. Also, he sounds like a ‘young Sheldon’! How wonderful ❤

Fenton is hilarious! Chasing the deer in Richmond Park in London 😂 ‘Jesus Christ Fenton!!’

I can't tell you how thankful I am to see you on the platform again. I discovered your channel in summer 2014 when I had taken a very stressful internship that not only tested my perseverance but required me to leave my family and partner behind. Eventually, things worked out, but there were many nights that I don't think I would have gotten a wink of sleep during those months without asmr and specifically your videos ( the library roleplay ❤)

Was glad to hear you shout out kanepixels. I thoroughly enjoy The Monument Mythos and The Mandela Catalogue.

You have been a wonderful source of comfort for me, as I have been going through postpartum depression, my son is now almost 9 months, I do have a 17 year old and a 13 yr old ( I know!! started ALL over !!😅) and I had never ever experienced it with my other pregnancies some days are better than others, but im taking it one day at a time. Please know you are a beacon of light for alot of us! Your words especially when you were talking about parenting, were much needed.

For KZreadrs, I’d recommend Gemma Wheeler Architecture (she reimagines disused buildings), Imamu Room (a cooking channel) and Real Horror (who does true crime but, I would say, in an ethical and well-thought-through way).

The Jigsaw trike video is one of the greatest ever
