I'm glad that you're expressing yourself so openly. Talking about it, checking in with your thoughts and concerns is healthy. There's no right or wrong way to be feeling. Moving forward as you said... each day to the next. Xx I just wish I could give you a big hug!

Micaela... bold girl who traveled from another continent to fulfill her dreams. You're stronger than you think. Take care cutie pie.

Thank you 🥰

I remember watching you over 7 years ago, as a girl just out of school. You vlogged about singing and other arts, and I thought I would subscribe to you because I had a growing interest in Japan. Today I can only say that though I am not even close to being able to express any degree of empathy towards you, I just wanna say I am proud to have watched you over the years. I really enjoy you delight for mochi, and sweet bean deserts, and how you moved to the country side to experience the life there. Even after your experience with the Japanese representative of Fukuoka, I can say you are on the verge of something extraordinary. I pray you will keep going sweet Micaela and see how awesome of a person you really are. Jesus loves you!

Seeing someone go thru what you’re going thru is tough. But when you’ve had the same experience it resonates so much deeper. Letting go of the person you love and the life you shared is painful but it also validates the fact that you truly loved the person bc you’re able to let go. I see so many ppl that can’t let go bc they are more in love w attachment than actual love where you let the person go bc it’s the best choice for the both of you and you care for there future and will not be the reason they are unhappy or live an unfulfilled life. Things like finances always come w a break up as well and you push thru it and slowly you climb out of it and then After all that pain and suffering something beautiful happens. You find yourself.

When you were looking at your haircut in the mirror, I thought you reminded me of someone. You, from a few years ago! You look like yourself- maybe a slightly tired version, but that will pass. It's good to see you! One thing- everything works out, in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it's not the end. Hugs, Lady.

"Everything's gonna be okay, I think" lol. Indeed they will micaela. As long as you keep your head up high. Work for yourself, Live for yourself, Care for yourself and Love for yourself. Being a good person in life does pay off. And yes you shouldn't have to replace people that have made a positive impact in your lifetime so far. Life changes sometimes and you gotta change with it. Best way to deal with people that have come and gone in your lifetime so far is to appreciate the time you had with them. Come in terms of the positive impact that they've had in your life. And know that they've only made you grow more into a better version of yourself. You'll always have the memories with them and that's a good thing. But don't let those memories hold you back. Always gotta be strong and keep living your life for yourself. You will continue to meet wonderful new people who will have an impact in your life. Cherish all the moments and memories you experience with them and keep on living your life to the fullest. You'll be okay. I believe in you. ✊

First off, no one is allowed to be mad at you, for choices you make. I've had friends be, "too accommodating" to exes before, in situations like this, so I've done the best I could to advise them, and just be there for them. Getting mad at them, or even at the situation, isn't helping anything, and is only going to cause them more pain and stress, in the long run. You have to do what feels right for you, and if your friends can't simply be there for you, and support you, they're the ones in the wrong. That part out of the way, I highly commend you for taking steps to do things like getting your hair cut, getting your nails done, going to that tasting; These "little things" are extremely important self care, and I'm glad it all rounded out to help you have a positive experience. 😊

I got emotional at the end. I feel like I shouldn't be watching this because it's so personal to you but sometimes I feel like I know you because I've seen all your videos. You were the one that started my addiction to Japan and asian vloggers like Kim and Sharla and everyone at Tokyo Creative. I just wish you the best of happiness and hope you keep making more vlogs....more colabs would be fun too.

After 8 years of marriage and 2 kids my divorce was final August 23. I understand how you are feeling. I have anxiety and depression now from it and the process. It’s hard. I get you!

i'm just glad that i'm not going to get married. ever! i can wake up each morning and do whatever i want and not having to worry about someone else. i can go anywhere at a moments notice without telling anyone.

I have always stayed friends with my exs. They were my friends first and I'd rather just wish the best for them and be a pillar.

That's probably harder to do with the Japanese. They usually don't do half measures and with them is all or nothing. Due to the fact that they don't really know how to express themselves, ( pretty much as the Brits ) they are not really good at telling the truth. The both nations seems to be plagued by the same curse. They can't get themselves to say what they really mean, and they don't mean what they say.

Micaela, I'm so happy that you're in a much better place now! Breakups suck, but you guys are handling it like champs! Just keep on keeping on!!

What you said about not being able to replace someone but that it's okay and that we meet new people who will be so great in their own way was beautiful. I think I also needed to hear that. Thank you

I just divorced in August and yes it jurts but I’m 52 and by experience I can tell you that the sun it’s going to come out again, time cures your heart, you will be able to hear love songs again and you are going to be fine like you use to.🙂🙂🙂🥰🥰🥰 Love from Mexico🙃🙃🙃😘

Hey Micaela! It’s so good to see you getting out there again, and tackling the world/life 💪 I heard somewhere that life is a series of ups and downs. When you’re up the only way is down, and when you’re down the only way is up. There’s always going to be those hard days, but you got this girl! No matter where you are in life we all have our own shit to take care of, so this is really inspiring! がんばれー！💓

You are so young, and you have your whole life ahead of you. He is still your friend, and you haven’t lost anything really but you still have so much to gain, new people, new experiences, new relationships. So much out there to look forward to. Good luck!

Thanks for letting us know how you're doing, Micaela! For what it's worth, I think you clearly did the right thing in rescheduling for Tatsu's visit; both because you would've felt terrible and also gotten no closure if you didn't, and because we all genuinely make mistakes sometimes, such as missing a flight. Anyway, keep on truckin', my e-friend: your 30s are going to be great ( trust me!). 🙂

The last two minutes of this vlog are so what I need to hear and what I was thinking too... People shouldn't be replaceable! They'll always be a part of our stories :) Glad to see you trying new things and hope I'll be there with that hope and excitement soon!

Thanks for sharing Micaela. It's been about 2 weeks since my LDR ended and seeing how you keep forward with your life despite any feelings or doubts it makes me feel with hope that everything is going to be alright ☺️ P.S: I've started with yoga this week (it's amazing 😌)

Going through a separation myself at the moment, it made me feel really good to hear you talk about it so honestly. I can relate to so much of what you say, and it gives me hope and perspective, even if some days are still tough. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Chin up lady. Rebuilding your life takes time. Be good to yourself. 💙

Micaela's energy has improved so much in the last couple weeks. I was honestly very worried about her for a year or more, she seemed so off. It's good to know she's making good changes for herself. Here's hoping everything just goes up from here!

Hi buddy, I’ve been following you for........ prolly 6 years, at least. Didn’t really feel compelled to comment or say anything until now. Saw your breakup video and this one, recently. Just wanted you to know that, though I have no idea who you really are in real life, I have always admired this Micaela character in your videos and how courageous she seemed in them. Uprooting and moving to Japan, so cool. You make your life in japan look so interesting and fun. Things will get better, and you’ll figure out where to be and what to do in this next season of life. I will offer this: being consistent in the gym has really helped me take the edge off heartbreak/ache. And now I’m pretty jacked (imagine all the heartbreak I had to work though! LOL). Take care of yourself, ok? ps, I can still hear your Canadian accent after all these years ;)

I love that you made this. You've become such a beautiful woman over these years. I'm glad you were able to show a bit of the person behind the curtain. But don't be afraid to be you and be vulnerable, here. I know it's easy to hide behind the vlog format and make everything seem greater than it is. We're normal people who struggle with stuff, too, and being vulnerable and genuine helps us cope with our problems while, hopefully, also providing you a place where you can feel comfortable and even have it be a bit therapeutic. =) I'm happy to be here for each one.

Thank you so much for updating us and sharing, I’m in a big transition in my life as well it’s refreshing and reassuring to see someone else leaning into change and embracing the fear! Crazy how much a hair cut can boost your confidence! Love the new hair and your adorable animals! 💗 Let’s stay strong!

I really enjoyed your vlog and your honesty about the breakup. You should vlog more often, I would watch all of them xx

All of your words really encouraged me! Even I also lost my love, I can feel sympathy to you by watching you are struggling and trying to find new world! Thanks, Micaela:)

As they say: out with the old in with the new. I'm glad to hear that things are getting better. Life is good. Stay happy!

you are doing just fine. as simple as that. have another great week! looking forward to next vlog.

This was such a lovely vlog, Micaela... thank you so much for making it and sharing!

I am sending you hugs and positivity! You seem to have a great outlook, and are doing pretty good. Just remember it’s okay to cry sometimes. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re nails and hair turned out super cute! I need someone to give me cute bangs!✌🏻💕

What a great and productive week, Micaela! Thanks for sharing your days with us and being vulnerable. Can't wait to see more videos!

I really loved this video. It was honest and a glimpse into your week with everything you experienced: beautiful places, great food and lots of emotions and thought process.

I’ve missed your vlogs~~ I’m so glad that you’re working through everything (physical, emotional, and mental health) at your own pace and that you shared it with us~~ thank you~ and keep it up 💕💕💕

I love your vlogs and how you open up to show real life. You seem to be doing so well! I feel motivated to get more focused and improve my overall health after watching this, so thank you. Excited to see what's in store for you and the pets!

I was so glad to see how you spoke and looked after you met up with him. I could tell you were so much more relieved and happy to just have a friend back and not like an "ex" I think thats a big step to be proud of. Also great to see you out and doing so much! Always lovely to see more of Fukuoka and you

Yay!! A video from the person who got me into watching Japan vlogs. Thank you so much. I enjoy your content. Also, seeing someone you used to be with is always hard at first. I try to stay friends with my exes because of the friendship that was there before. Hope everything is going well with you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m so proud of you for opening up and sharing what’s been a difficult transition for you. You’re doing fantastic! Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for accommodating Tatsu- even though you are no longer a couple, you are still very clearly important to each other, and that’s a good and healthy thing. I’m going through a strange transition myself, so seeing you turn things around gives me hope that I can do the same. Thank you for sharing your life so candidly.

Was just feeling real crappy about my breakup, love the honesty and openness in this video Michaela 🥰 it's so helpful to see someone else through this journey, and I wish you all the best and hope you thrive in this season 😍😋

I know it must be hard going through what you are going through just try to take it one day at a time .Just be willing to take care of yourself and manage things the best way possible. Yes girl accept what things are and understanding what it yes .Much love girl sending you all the prayers .

I literally do so much positive self reflection and healing when I watch your videos and you have some real talk with the audience. Thank you for your transparency and willingness to share your experience with us, you’re helping others work through their own stuff as a result as well!

Sending love and motivation, because you’ve motivated me at some point to do something

It's interesting every once in a while everyone has to literally or figuratively start over their life again. Or reclaim it or something. I'm happy to see you're posting videos again. I'm also just a dweeb who gets really happy when i see other people working to make themselves happier 😅😅 I can't wait to see what you're going to be doing with this new start 😊😊😊

I really like your videos. I've watched you for so long that I feel like I know you. At least the 15-minute version of yourself you allow us to see in your videos. Keep being the best Micaela you can be.

I understand your excitement mixed with having to accept uncertainty and all those feels. And I promise you this is one of those moments when you're going to grow the most and you will look back on with such fondness. Keep doing how youre doing, cause you're doing amazing! Soon you'll master these waves and you'll be addicted to the feeling. ☺️😉

YAY! I love seeing your daily life in Fukuoka. Sorry about the tough times! Hope it gets easier soon!

Thank you for validating my experience with yours. Thank you for sharing you process. Your video has healed a piece of my heart.

Thank you as always for sharing. I know relationships and breakups can be tough on everything. Glad to see aspects of life are getting back to normal. Getting the you that feels most comfortable is most important. I need to do better on that end. Keep us posted. Your friends on the web care! 😁

i really love your week in the life videos, its nice to see your progress and feelings throughout a week's time.

Micaela-- just want to say that I'm cheering you on, to better things and good times still to come. You are courageous for sharing this journey with us, and your honesty means a lot to those who are going through similar struggles. You certainly are not alone, but you are helping others feel less so by being real about the ups and downs that come with change. Thank you, for all that you do!

I love everything you said at the end of this video! It's so good. Also both times you said you looked exhausted, you didn't at all to me. It's good to have friends who offer opinions but of course your decisions are yours and you live with them. I've also worried that I'm too accommodating to people, but the other side of that would be me actively being non-accommodating just for the sake of not establishing a bad pattern with the other person, which feels weird and manipulative. It's a risk--I've had people get mad because they're so used to me being like that, that one day when I'm not it feels like a huge betrayal to them. But that's on them. Weight training is sooooo satisfying. I hope that you get a lot of enjoyment and benefits from it and stick with it!

Thank you for making this video. I recently went through a really rough breakup with a long term partner too and what you mentioned at the end really resonated with how I'm feeling right now and hopefully I'll be able eventually look back at the relationship positively.

やっと、散歩が気持ち良い季節になりましたね〜 ワンちゃん達が楽しそうです

So glad to see you back love the vlogs 💖

Thanks again for this video. The last few minutes of your reflection is super super helpful for me. I got out of a 5 year relationship about a month ago, and I couldn't relate more to what you're saying. I love your mindset and I want to just follow it because I feel it applies to me too. Stay strong girl, there's so much to look forward too, I need to remind myself that too. :)

Almost every time I make a business trip to Fukuoka, I run around Ohori Park in the night. So spacious and peaceful the park is. Ah and you have had you hair done, so nice.

PROUD OF YOU most of us do not have the strength to be kind and willing to be friendly to an ex... I am so happy you showed us how to be a generous human.

It’s hard to share when your having a big change in your life. Soooooo awesome thanks for making more vlogs. Your creative nature gives your vlogs beauty and sole. Wow your a great cook! Awesome, big respect and love from U.K.

This was a great vlog, Micaela. It showed your life that week as well as the places and things that interest you that maybe tourists might consider doing. But most importantly, you gave yourself heaps of self care, you reflected on things and were open. I think you made the right decision to see Tatsu again. Sometimes seeing someone after a period of times helps shift things a little, it's helpful for healing. Wishing you all the best as you continue finding what you'd like in your new life. xx

Missed you and glad you're doing better! Good luck with everything!

I can't wait to see the great places you'll go in the future!

Congrats on the good week and the new haircut looks great.

Welcome back! And I love your new haircut 🥰 it suits you so well!

you're doing great Micaela. Just remember there's no right answer, you just gotta do you and whatever happens, it'll work out in the end.

I've been following you on KZread for almost 5 years i think, and it's nice to see you getting back on your feet and feeling better! It'll all work out. Love the video and that you shared a bit of your feelings with us!

I usually never leave comments but I’ve been watching you for years and watching you grow has inspired me so much. I also went through a complicated breakup early this year (we don’t speak anymore) and understand how hard it is to find your place in the world without that person by your side... if that makes sense. For me it was hard to feel confident in myself for a while and I started with chopping off all my hair up to my chin, I hadn’t cut it since 8th grade and am now in my early 20’s. For some reason getting a haircut after a chain of stressful events lifts up your confidence right? Then i started yoga and have been doing it everyday since we broke up. Just doing little things for myself made me feel much better. Overall, I’m insanely proud of you. This is not easy, there will be ups and downs. The only thing that we can rely on is time and a good supporting group of friends. I’m excited to see your relationship with yourself grow and know your thoughts because it makes me feel not alone. Take care and see you in instagram!

The Thai food is amazing I’m definitely gonna go some time this month! Also so glad you’re feeling better ❤️ Hoping for the best for you still

I lived in Fukuoka for a couple of months since then I am following you :D everytime you post a video I try to memorize where you are and if I was there as well. Ohori Koen was my favorite spot since there is actual nature, in the rest of the city are so less trees etc. (Small town girl needs a forest nearby to breath)

This was such a treat to watch. So happy you're expressing yourself openly and doing well.

It sounds like this week you found some closure, and start the next chapters of your life. I’m really glad for you, and glad to see you are vlogging again.

This will sound so lame, but I’m crying with joy at seeing you reclaim your life and find your way. It’s joyful to see this. Ps the doggos are so beautiful

Love Your New hair color and bangs!!!

I'm about 9 or 10 weeks into my break up. My decesion. I bumped into him recently and it was so hard for me. I'm glad you and Tatsu managed to have a nice time. I admire you so much for speaking out, showing your vurability. You are so strong and everything will be alright for you. Keep being you. 💕💕💕

Keep on keepin' on! We're all happy to hear from you again~

Hey Micaela, I'm so glad to see you're doing well! I don't mean to make this comment sound all sad and "woe is me", but I really just want to thank you for your channel and for you being yourself. I was in an accident about 4 years ago which resulted in me losing a lot of my personal memories of the past. It was pretty terrifying being essentially dropped into a life that I had 0 recollection of. During my recovery months, I ended up finding your channel on the recommended tab, and ever since then I've really enjoyed watching your videos. It really opened up my eyes to the fact that the world is so much bigger than you're led on to believe, and it's a world that I wanted to explore and get to know myself in. I never ended up regaining any of my old memories, but I've made a lot of great, new ones, and I've spent the last 4 years traveling and finishing up my degree online. I don't think I would have had the courage to do that if it hadn't been for you and your channel, so thank you :D!

This is an amazing transition period for you. Yes there will always ups and downs but you get to refind yourself. I wish you the best in your unknown future

Yes girl! Full steam ahead! You've got this! 🌻❤️

I'm from Fukuoka and been living out of Japan for almost 20 years. I find myself enjoying your vlog a lot! Thank you for sharing!! I can totally understand, it's so damn hard but you are doing so well. :)

Thank you for allowing yourself to be so honest and vulnerable in your vlogs. Not only does it help us feel more connected with you but I definitely think it helps you work through your feelings, too. I'm glad to see that things are looking up for you and that you're starting to feel comfortable in your own skin again. Sending you lots of love from Colorado

Ive been watching your videos for so long. I remember when i first started you gave me so much motivation to go to japan its been a long time now and i still havent made it but watching your videos give me such nostalgia i really enjoy them.

I'm glad it was a good week. There are always going to be ups and downs but never give up on yourself.

I’ll just keep this short, but love THIS! Keep it up!

You're doing your best, there is no correct way to do it or one that fits everyone. I'm a little more than three years on from a situation that was nearly the end of me (not exaggerating) and though there are still more rough days than smooth ones I'm here. You'll get through this, maybe not in a way you envisioned, but you will. Good to see your vlogs again, especially Ohori Park.

Great wholesome video! Thank you! (also I didn't think you looked tired.) The haircut really suits you, too!

Yaaayyyy! I love your videos. It’s good to see you doing better and enjoying life

Hang in there girl! You’re doing great!🔥 So much respect for how you’re handling things! Stay strong! I’m a proud fan xoxo

So happy to see vlogs from you again ❤❤❤ ive missed them and im glad you're feeling better :)

So happy to see a new vlog ❤️.

Hi Micaela! Can i just say it's so nice to see you be so raw and honest about what's been going on. It's really refreshing to see a blogger unafraid to show the downs along with the ups, especially your feelings about seeing Tatsu again after the break up. Your willingness to show that makes me feel a little less alone in my own struggles. Hope you're doing well and can't wait to watch you manifest better things for yourself

Thank you so much... specially to you but also to all the kind people writing you comments of their breakup experiences. This light helps me so much. All of the comments and what you said make me put things into perspective and, idk, breathe. What a nice community. Hope to see more content like that and whatever you want to post as well. ❤️

Glad for you, and enjoy seeing your week video.

The new "do" looks so good on you! I think it gives you that fancy & free feel going into the new season. It is good that you spend time to pamper yourself as you did here. I love food and when I saw what you made, immediately I became hungry. Japanese foods with all the vegetables and mushrooms are the best. Yet, I love my yakitori, kushitori, sakana and tempura, too! There will be one day ahead when you awaken in the morning you will find the bad vibes of the break up and all that goes along with it will be gone. With that weight missing when it happens on this particular day, life will start to flow much easier and you will be much stronger to deal with any negative times that may come along. Keep doing what you are doing, in the increments you feel comfortable with, and things will straighten out in due time. You are a wonderful, sweet person and I wish you the best!

ooh that nice cafe.... will put that on the list for the next trip... hope u get your life back together and forge a better tomorrow.. one step at a time..

Your hair is sooo cute ❤️ I love it, you look beautiful 🙏 I’m sorry that you had to go through a breakup but I always think of it this way, things happens for a good reason, even though that time maybe hard and tough but it will be good in a long run. Keep your head up girl!

Nothing but love, little sis . You are a truthteller. Your work is yours alone. I'm old, and I can see you growing.

As a long time follower, this is my favorite vlog ever, going through a similar situation... so this felt very much like a conversation I would have with a friend :) cute haircut and nails...

Such an uplifting video. And you are right, everything is going to be ok.

Such an inspirational blog! Keep moving forward and you can achieve great things!

Thanks for such a raw video of your feelings. I am glad to see your doing better and I look forward to seeing how you grow even more coming up! I’ve been a subscriber and a follower on your Instagram for who knows how long and I am happy to see things looking up and getting somewhat back to normal. ❤️
