As a writer, I highly feel this. Seriously, don't do it. I almost gave up writing a few years ago when I thought I'd never be as good as I my idols. Now I realize that the only difference between me and them is that they've been at it longer. They've practiced and if I want to be like them, I have to practice as well. So, you do you, Melinda. Don't let this discourage you.

"I'll never figure it out but I'm constantly trying" is my new life motto. Thanks Malinda.

I'm 34 and I'm still relearning so many things. How to be myself and not try and be other people is definitely up there. I let myself settle in one place but I've grown and now I'm feeling trapped and I've either got to make that space bigger or like a hermit crab I have to find a new space.

Heart to hearts like this are what make KZread personalities actual personalities. Sure, you can create the greatest comedic or musical content, but that's still just a facade. I really respect anyone who can sit down and just...*talk* to absolutely no one about what is important in their lives.

I thought it was going to be one of those 'I met [insert idol here] and it turns out they're actually a really shitty person' stories, but I'm glad it wasn't. It was kind of uplifting, actually. Pleasantly surprised. (Also, on a more superficial level, you still look pretty even without makeup.)

I think if I put a before and after photo beside each other, the makeup one would look a little bolder by that’s it

I really needed to hear this message right about now, so thank you! Also, I would love to just have a conversation with her over coffee or something. It could be about anything and I'd be happy. Love ya Malinda!

Just a little encouragement to you from Czech Republic. I have two daughters, and the older one really hated English lessons at school. It was not exactly problem of teacher or whatever, she just hated to learn English as such. But then I showed her and translated some of your google translate videos (she wanted to know why I am laughing so hard) and voilá! She started to watch them by herself, then she started to sing some memorable lines, then making English jokes along the google translate lines, then I found she quite enriched her active english vocabulary with words like "gradually" ... This year she is one of the best students in class and attends special "elite" conversation lessons. So Malinda, you certainly made bigger miracle with my daughter then any other contemporary singer.

I can relate to this on a different platform. I’m a writer, and I’m constantly criticizing my own work, saying that it’s not good enough, that it’s too childish, etc, and although I love to write and want to write, it’s becoming harder for me to do so. It’s not that I have lost my passion for the art, it’s just that I feel... inadequate. Part of that is just how I feel in life right now, and part of it is me holding myself to standards I know I can’t write to. You know?

Malinda Kathleen Reese. 1. You are beautiful even without makeup. 2. Who CARES if you're not exactly like those idols, your music, GTS included, is absolutely PERFECT. You're you, and that's what the world needs more of. 3. As someone who is forced to live in a terrible situation everyday, you are the best inspiration I could have ever hoped for. You bring a smile to a face that is usually soaked in tears. 4. I know theres no such thing as being fearless, but that being said, without fear there wouldn't be courage. And you, Malinda, are the most courageous person I've ever seen.

I think the fact that she’s doing her MAKEUP throughout this video makes it 10000000000000% MORE POWERFUL! WE LOVE YOU, MALINDA! ❤️

Be yourself; everyone else is taken. -Oscar Wilde

I personally adore your chitchat videos, and I really want more of them ^^ That aside, you're absolutely right, it's indirectly self-destructive if you keep comparing yourself to other people, especially to the point that you lose your own way. It's healthy to have a few idols but don't expect yourself to magically become them because life doesn't work that way. Also yes 'I'll never figure it out but I'll constantly try' is a perfect tagline to life and you should trademark that and make tshirts.

This is the kind of content the internet needs more of. Keep these chit chat videos coming, it’s great to see how your mind works - and really fun to see you go from “I just woke up gimme coffee NOW” to actually ready to face people and be sociable :)

Tbh it's good to have idols that act sort of as a benchmark to where you want your creativity to reach after any amount of time. Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles are two of my biggest inspirations on this platform and yes I compare myself with them a lot, but I always reel myself back in by reminding myself that everyone is in a different stage in their musical journey

That's why mistakes and failure should be embraced. Or well embraced isn't the right word at all. lol But it's just okay. You try again and here you are. It's all about the trying or so Beckett said. And then "try again, fail again but fail better." I think he is onto something. You also need to let go of stuff. You won't make your best work in one go. It's something particularly difficult for me. You can't edit a work again and again and do so forever. You need to let go at some point. That's what this is. On a different subject thank you for not putting any background music, I am so tired of useless background music and stimuli everywhere. Also while a make-up routine isn't even in my top 50 of things I care about, it was nice to just see you be. And doing one of your routine allows you talk/rant naturally without being stiff and worrying about what to do with your hand and body and just be. and try to have a conversation. Though a video and with people you can't see but a conversation still. Haha. This was nice. :) So yeah I'd be totally up for more of those.

I’m currently working on a new song because I was inspired by “Fearless”. Thanks for everything you do! Also, the chit-chat videos have an air of realism that is wonderfully pleasant.

You've just made me realise that I totally do this. I see you or Aurora making beautiful songs and I think "Why can't I do that too?" So I try and write an original song, and when it's not as good as yours it feels like I'm rubbish. But in reality, I really shouldn't expect my songs to be as good as yours because your songs are phenomenal.

Whenever I think of the things that I have accomplished with my life compared to what others have accomplished I always remember the following eye-opening inspirational quote: "Sometimes eyelash curlers eat your eyes and sometimes they curl your eyelashes as intended thereby allowing you to see the world more clearly through uneaten eyes".

Hi. Holy crap. I needed to hear this so much. All of this. Thank you.

The fact is that for many people writing is some sort of escaping or facing the problem. I, for example, write.. to survive and that is my strength, that is why my lyrics are so heartfelt. And obviously I constantly compare myself with the artists I like, but I do know that I couldn't go on without writing. I think that you have to understand your potential based on the importance you give to your own music.. if that makes sense!

If this is how you look just waking up... wow. Absolutely no need for makeup. When you said that you couldn't present your work as you, I literally told you off out load here in my kitchen. You're you! Your leaning experiences, your work, is a record of your journey and who you are. From my perspective, you're journey is a beautiful thing to witness.

Your music has helped me more that anyone else I have ever listened to. I couldn't listen to Fearless without crying, and Love Letter immediately afterwards was so soothing. No other song made me cry like that when I listened to it for months. You do have a unique impact and I'm here to tell you that. I hope you're gonna be okay, I hope your elbow's getting better.

I see Malinda, I click. Also I really like these kinds of videos. They’re cool :)

Malinda, it all stems from you being you're own worst critic. What you do is amazing, you have a beautiful voice and you have alot of people who idolize you. You are a huge reason why I've started really investing time in learning to sing. To be a source of inspiration is a dream and you are definitely inspiring! Don't get yourself down.

This is a good idea. People always say "Be yourself", but "Try to imagine your idols trying to be you" is an actual step towards it.

February 10th 2018 I lost my dad a few days later you posted your Google translate pickup lines it was the first time I laughed and pulled me out of that dark time for a moment Thank you for being you and sharing this humor

Malinda, you are honestly amazing. Most people spend their whole lives trying to figure something like this out, and you have managed to squeeze the entire meaning of life into one almost 6-minute video at 25 years old. I have been having some struggles lately and I just wanted to let you know that you and everything you do makes me smile and brings some light to the darkness. Keep being awesome!!

Love the chat. You are a HUGE inspiration to me. Your content gives me joy and your origanal songs/work is beautiful. You literally made me cry with "last first love" and "a song about nothing".

“Imagine your idol trying to be you. They’d be very bad at it.” Wow. I felt that. Thank you so much for this video.

I think "Use your singularity to your advantage" is a better quote from this than "I will never figure it out, but I'll constantly try."

Your videos always make me feel better. You definitely have affected a lot of people with your work

I was going to say something very similar. People often undervalue comedy, but making someone smile or laugh and forget their problems for even a few minutes is very powerful and very important.

Tessa Violet has done videos like this in the past where she just chitchats about something while doing makeup and I dig it always

I just want you to know that you have inspired so many people. You have become my inspiration, and you are appreciated more than you think!

Hiiiiii You are one of my favorite KZreadrs! I’m always so happy when you upload a video :) And I love this type of video also Keep being amazing, inspirational, and yourself!

Just want to say that every single video you make makes me feel instantly 20x better, and "Love Letter" was incredibly inspirational to me during a time of change and still makes me smile every time I listen to it. So, thank you, keep being fearless =D

Did she just apply eyeshadow with her finger? 😂😂 LOVE YOU MALINDA!!!

I do not know what kind of videos i do like the most, GTS or this no-makeup improvised reflexion. Thanks for letting us share your path and thoughs!!!

I love this video, feels so real. You're just talking about how you've been doing while you're getting ready for the day. Kewl

I won't speak for others, nor am I an artist, so I really can't understand what you went through. That having been said, your music has on occasion affected me deeply. If you worry about making an impact, even if you're not sure, I can assure you that for me, you have made an impact All my love and support 😊

"I'll never figure it out, but I'll constantly try" reminds me Of "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, We can catch excellence." - a quote from Vince Lombardi. I think it was an excellent way to end this video reflection. :)

I’m twice your age and this video resonated with me, so I guess the moral of the story is that we must continue to try to “figure it out”.

Ive always struggled with the mentality that I'm inferior to everyone. That everyone is smarter and more talented and just better at everything than me. I know it's unhealthy and I dont know what I'm typing right now, but I guess I'm just relating this video to myself. I know I'm supposed to believe that I have worth but it's one if those life lessons that's going to have to be pounded into my brain a thousand times before I finally get it.

Malinda I heard your speech, I'm from Italy so maybe miss something in it. At 45 I finally realized that as long as I looked at others, the grown-ups, as impossible models, I felt inadequate, since when I see them only as inspirational people I have become aware that they are people who are different from me, people from whom I have to just take some common traits for me to try to improve myself. Being equal is impossible, improving without frustration yes. I apologize for my English, but although I know the language well enough I preferred to get help from Google (as you do in your beautiful and hilarious songs). I love you, even if I only know you at a distance from a world. Paolo

One of the things I respect most about you is that you don't take yourself so seriously that you can't take that magnificent voice of yours and use it for comedy. You have shown that you are perfectly capable of doing serious vocals and original song writing, but you've made yourself famous through choosing to make people laugh as your art. There are so few things to laugh about nowadays, and we need that kind of medicine to get through the days. So, for what it's worth - you keep doing you.

Hi Milinda, I listened to your album nonstop for a few months whilst studying subjects such as electromagnetism at 2 in the morning, and is still in my playlist rotation today. That's more listens than I've given to almost anyone else in the past year. You are no joke one of the most influential musicians in my life this year. Never think you amount to nothing.

I felt it when u said that we are going to have to relearn some things in our lives

"Try to think about your idols trying to be you." Why should anybody try this? I didn't do any inspirational or accomplished anything of significance in life - i'm even struggling beeing a decent person. I don't want to be like me - I would'nt want anyone to else to be.

Define "decent person" and "accomplished".

As someone who studied and now works in a creative field I relate to this on a deep level. Thanks for the reminder. It's so easy to forget that we each have something unique to offer and we can all have an impact on the world, even if it's just in a small and quiet way. No one is less valid as an artist.

You're a really good "chit-chatter😏", I'd like more videos of you sharing the lessons you've been teaching yourself😊

Malinda is one of the most kindhearted, inspiring, caring person I have ever seen and I don’t even know her irl. Also I’m totally quoting you on the “I’ll never figure it out, but I will constantly try!” And “life lessons are never learned,d they are constantly taught”

Love your thoughts on life! I truly do. It’s not just artists who run into this problem. There’s always someone better (or just more influential). Artists, philosophers, saints, scientists,doctors the list goes on. There are some insanely talented people out there and even more if ya consider the dead ones lol. Still, like you said none of them could be us. And a lot of people even the big wigs never see the extent of their impact. It’s hard to keep a healthy perspective it’s so much easier to see the good stuff about others.

Malinda, Your music means so much to me. And to so many of us. You're the most genuine online personality I know, so much that it feels like I know you personally! Thank you for keeping it so real for us; the "imagine your idol trying to be you" genuinely changed my entire outlook on "fame" and all that jazz so quickly!! Your words have so much truth and meaning. Thank you❤️❤️❤️

Natural Malinda, you slay!

Dear Malinda, in case you didn't realize, you already have a "product" you can call your own. And it's called Google Translate. And you're an artist. I believe you'll figure out the rest as you go along. Cheers!

Being an artist is a hard life in so many ways, but at least you can look back later and say "I was the most me I could have been, AND I made people happy". Not everyone can claim that. Love your work, btw. You remind me of a young Carol Burnett in some ways. You are uniquely you, however. And when you fill a boat and jump in a bush, you make me (and so many other people) happy. Thank you. :)

Honestly, I loved this video, it made me stop and actually think about what you were saying and how it applies to my life in a way. Thank you for that ❤ I would love to hear more of these types of videos!

The whole “comparing yourself to others” is why I can’t look at my main Facebook timeline anymore. I see the people who I went to class with getting married and having great job, and then there’s me who still works retail and lives with his parents at nearly 26.

I needed this so much 😭 I literally just finished writing a journal entry about my fear that my art won’t measure up to the standards of other artists. THIS popped up, and I felt so understood. Thank you 😊

I personally don't compare myself to other's success I know I will succeed in my own way and I try with every piece to remember that However I tend to use my failure as a reason to quit If I feel like I've made too much of a challenge for myself and I'm bored and i don't want to do something I fail My hearts not in it therefore my heads not in it so i just quit And I forget that i can start over Or maybe not start over really but pick up where I left off Try something different and better and do what makes me happy and feel good even if it hurts a little bit to get there And I'm not perfect It's far easier said than done But once you get something through your head you start to fail less You don't stop failing because things happen you're an imperfect person living in an imperfect world But you fail less and that's progress And to me success is when you feel happy with what you're doing yourself Not for other people Not for some random thing that you think will make or break but if you're happy for yourself you've succeeded

For the record, I want to be like you some day, Malinda. I have a lot that goes through my head, and I can sit and talk the ears off another human, but haven't been able to talk to the camera at all. Keep up the encouragement, it helps!

Four years late to this, but, I’ve been going through SO MUCH of this recently. Had a discussion about those quotes of wisdom, and one that I feel I’ve finally understood (not just “know,” but really substantially understand) is how powerful it is to “show up,” how being present and counted for is deceptively ordinary but incredibly powerful. I never really comprehended the depth of it for years because it’s so simple it seems complex? I wonder how much of repeated life-wisdom is like that: We really do hear the message over and over again until we can make sense of it (I don’t think it’s a flaw, but just how we learn- truly absorb). As far as comparisons go, OH MY GOD, yes… I feel like it’s normal for any giving heart to want to also gift the same kind of profound and moving experience we’ve also felt/been given. I’ve been asking myself “how can my art ever affect anyone in the same way (fill in the blank) has affected me? I cannot possibly compare to their majesty,” and it’s a vicious cycle. It’s also worth noting, though, that even if we were to find a way to bleed our souls dry for the art, the response from the audience actually depends on how deeply they’ve allowed themselves to feel- like any relationship, me thinks. Someone’s understanding of self reflects how they take in everything, including the art we create… I’m glad you know you touch people with your music (and your earnestness, like this video here). You have your own light, every experience you’ve been through is unique to you, and how you tell and share them -is- the ultimate gift, dear Lady. You’ve actually helped me see that better than I ever have before, and it’s changed a lot for me (and I’m certain so many others!). I hope the struggle has gotten better for you. Thank you for these- your insight is invaluable. I’m so grateful to you for all of them.

When I was a child, my observation was with escaping into music. I was not obsessed with "Mozart".

I'm SO glad you made this video! Not because the message speaks to me, or that I think it will speak to others, but I think it's very refreshing to see someone famous (YES YOU ARE!) Admitting to being insecure sometimes. Your fans who look up to you will see this video and hopefully say to themselves "Gee, if Malinda can feel insecure, I guess I shouldn't feel too bad when I feel that way either!" ♡♡♡♡♡

I love your videos ! Its hard to not compare yourself to others And omg, that was uplifting. No one, not even my idols, can be a better me than me. They can create things that i love, but if they saw me, maybe they too would like what i do cause they can't make it like i do.

Found you through KZread Shorts. Went to your channel to check you out further. Found this video. Long story, short...this "message" came at a critical time and exactly when I needed to hear it! Thank you. New sub.

Love to think things backward or from the opposite point of view, thinking about others being you is an amazing powerful thought process - hope you heal well from your injury (Although I've broke my arm twice and while it works it's never straight now - which I'm very okay with) love what your doing with these videos. You keep being you Malinda, you're amazing!

Two things, one as a creative person I find this really inspiring and comforting even though I don’t do music I think this is definitely something that every creative person can relate to and needs to be reminded of, even Brendon Urie doubts himself so that doubt you have is completely normal and you shouldn’t feel bad but also not let that stop you! And two I’ve never been afraid of eyelash curlers I don’t know if it was because I am a huge momma’s boy or what lol 😂 equally important topics lol 😂

Oh Malinda.

As a girl who only knows basic stage makeup and is extraordinarily clumsy, I too am terrified of eyelash curlers. Also I love rants/debates that people start up or go on. It's always great to hear another point of view. Especially when both participants can discuss their differing points of view civilly and without getting all heated and defensive about it. Like 'hey I respect your opinion. Here's my thoughts and why'.

My goal is to learn from the quality of people around me and go on a different path and create content that is different from what's out there.

As a writer who thinks about this stuff... It's refreshing to know a creative I respect and who inspired me to try at it has the same doubts I do. You rock, keep it up.

Starts the video looking beautiful, talks with us, gives nice advice and ends the video looking even more beautiful. Also, it's a good thought to ponder upon, 'what would i be idolized for?' Thanks ABA🤘🏻

As a soul who is going to be 29 years old. It gets so much worse and better. 25 is when your brain stops "growing" then when you hit 27 to 30 your finally settling into your self. It's a long journey but worth it.

Thanks a lot for this video, Malinda. Very helpful to hear another person's perspective on these things. I've had very similar thoughts about my music - and actually also about Jacob Collier in my case. It's definitely somewhat of a paradox for me, as he inspires me no end, but simultaneously it's difficult not to be comparing one's own music to his, which can be fine to a certain extent - but overall it detracts a bit from the joy of creating. But I don't let that stop me from immersing myself in his stuff, and getting inspired. Really diggin' his stuff. It just shifts a bit from time to time whether it's inspiration or downright comparison. It's difficult to get out of your own way sometimes.

This is the best makeup tutorial ever

Yeah. I hear you Malinda, loud and clear. 👍 I inspire to be an artist. Like create concept art, textures etc. Basically be a graphic designer. But i'm still trying to improve before really stepping into that. And im constantly haunted by the voices in my head, telling me i'm never going to be good enough, and comparing myself to others. It sucks but most of the time i manage to just snap out of it and keep going, but every now and then it comes back. Not going to give up tho. 😁

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on being compared with others, don't wanna lose myself for idolizing others

Do I want you to upload more "chit-chat" type videos? HECK YES. You are such an inspiration to me and I use much of what you say as a coping skill, since I also experience times where my "happy self" is unavailable and I just have to wait for her to return. Please keep uploading stuff like this.

My daughter has anxiety issues and your Google translate videos help her get through the worst of it . When she just can't get out of her head at that moment. So you might not see the works that you are doing at times, but for some hard moments I do.

Holy moly almost every word in this video reflects exactly how I feel about my music and my idols and comparing yourself to others...I think about this all the time. I don't know how you did it but you did it - you put it into words -- thank you :)

Yay another talk video! I’m running out of tea leaves, you keep making me spill it! Thoughts: I’ve always had a problem with hero worship. Technically, you’re one of them (Hence why I’m always commenting, sorry for spamming you all the time lol), but, a lesson I learn every time is “It’s nice to be inspired. It’s nice to want to be successful. But you’re idols won’t do that for you. They might push you in the right direction, but you have try it yourself.It won’t happen overnight. But, you’re not them.” Yay wisdom!

Malinda, you are one amazing woman. Thank you for ranting, thank you for what you make, thank you for sharing honest thoughts. Hope you feel better now!

Your authenticity and self-deprecation are refreshing and inspirational. I'm an application developer. I have been for 22 years. I've been mentoring young technologists for about five years. I work closely with a young man now who constantly doubts himself. The best thing I could think to say to him (and others) is we've all got imposter's syndrome. Two decades in and I'm still trying to prove I belong at the table. I don't expect that to go away. It hasn't for me. I do hope that they will learn to breathe in it, though, and think positively about their efforts to "belong" and be "good enough". They'll make digital and/or coded art for a lifetime. The next one will always be better than the last. All of that is OK. Keep being you, lady. It helps even old futs like me...

Malinda, and I can't say this enough, you are special and amazing. Your work is actually really good. Everyone's work -- literally everyone's -- is just snapshots of a learning process, forever and always. Perfection is unachievable and isn't the goal. Just keep being you. Just keep learning and keep sharing it with us. *hugs* And go ahead and share the contents of your head with us whenever -- we're here for it.

I think there is only one person we should compare ourselves to: our ideal selves. The best we personally can be. We tend to filter out a lot of what others go through, anyway, so we aren't seeing them well enough to compare.

Thanks Malinda. I’m having a bit of a bad spot myself atm, having just moved house and feeling really displaced and disoriented, like, even in my own head. Not entirely the same thing I know, but thanks for sharing your experiences with an artistic mind (I believe I have one; I’m just still trying to unlock its secrets).

The vids where you just TALK are some of my favorites.l because while they're about somewhat negative topics they still manage to be very grounded

You are amazing and I love what you do. I love that you are always very real and honest. Keep being you and never stop because no can do you better that you!!
