Such a calming presence online, her natural voice and cadance is almost asmr like.
She does vlogs traveling, trying on clothes, cooking, learning how to draw, doing math problems etc.
One think I love to curate in my life is joyous elder people enjoying their life, since we live in such a youth centered society, and miss Haiying is certainly one of my references that you can learn and experience new things at any age
I’m convinced that this YouTuber based in London is the most criminally underrated artist of our generation. She is able to capture what it’s like to be in your 20s in a big city, just trying your best to connect to your creativity while also doing all the little things you have to do. She uses mainly two different cameras— a nice Sony and an old camcorder— and I love how that creates a multi-textured visual style. Her editing style is superb, lots of fade-in’s and superimposed images. Her needle drops honestly rival Scorsese’s, and her monologues/prose remind me at times of Kerouac and others Babitz. Sometimes she includes cheeky little skits that verge on magical realism. They’re hilarious, while also walking the line between absurdity and Truth. i haven’t been able to find her on social media, but I follow her Spotify because her playlists are insanely good. Linking the video I discovered of hers— but highly recommend diving deep into her other works.
i moved from philly to jersey recently (which doesn‘t sound big because they’re close (but trust me)) and i‘m in a really weird maybe very melodramatic state of mourn. i love where i’m from and who it’s made me and the GIFT of perspective i’ve received from growing there
