Setting the Record Straight - Addressing Misconceptions

hi everybody it's Hannah and Marlo we thought we would um address some misconceptions that we've seen people have about us or our Channel Our Lives just different things we've seen um in the comments yeah so starting it right off I I don't know how much I've talked about it or often or whatever but um I do talk some times about not feeling well or being really tired or you know just kind of being chronically ill and fatigued chronically fatigued yeah and um there's um a misconception that like I'm kind of potentially overreacting or something or being a being untruthful but that's not true and today happens to be one of those days um just right from the start Hannah got up and wasn't even looking good like looked very pale and kind of sickly and wasn't feeling good and has been mostly out of commission for today yeah iing so that's why I'm like this right now but um we thought that that would be good to film today so that we could be more open and show you guys because you know we talk about it a lot but when we're talking about it it's usually when we don't feel bad yeah that we make a video about things like that so today I feel bad Show and Tell yesterday was grooming day for Daryl I gave him a full haircut and a bath and a blow dry and maybe just over did it I don't know she's also outside a lot and the pollen right here right now is horrendous so I blew like leaves and hair off the porch a little bit and pollen just gr went everywhere yeah let's move on number two number two uh Marlo is a Brooks family member not true that's not true Marlo is not my sister she's not my cousin she's not she's not my mom um I'm Han's friend I'm Valerie's friend and we not only do I work here most of the time we spend time together as friends socially so you you know a normal work week is basically 50ish per of your time is at work and 50% is outside of work so for me it's more like a 75% hang out at work and uh socialize here so it seems like I might live here or that I am part of the family you know Hannah and I also get a lot that we look very similar so people just think we look related as well um and we we do a lot of our filming here because we like to film videos together and we're mostly here together it would seem like we hang out or we're we're family or whatever we're not we're not we feel like it yeah we not next misconception we add we address our anxiety or our health issues um fairly often and I've seen a lot of people say that it's surprising that we get anything done or um how like we don't ever leave the house because of our anxiety um or health issues it really holds us back yeah and I just wanted to address that for me and I think for Hannah I feel more empowered by those feelings because anytime that I am able to overcome my anxiety of getting out somewhere or overcome my headache days where I just feel like laying in bed and not doing anything and I'm able to get up and at least accomplish one task I always see those as like major wins and it helps um with my mental health to be able to overcome yeah and I think too that the other side of that is if you have days where you want to lay in bed all day because you're exhausted or you've got horrible migraines and you want to lay in bed all day and you do that's fine yeah it's a stepping stone yeah it's not a roadblock exactly and I think a lot of people when we talk about it it's mostly for us to bring awareness to it and to help our viewers realize that they're not alone and that they can have these feelings and have these off days but they can still be moving forward yeah with their life yeah and we just we want to help motivate people just like um our insecurities or our downfalls kind of motivate us too yeah exactly Marlo next there is a misconception that a lot of people may have and that's that Marlo and I are in a romantic relationship what we're not it would be fun and cool if we were but we're not we don't have those feelings for each other and that's okay and it would be okay if we did but we do not right so we're going to get into that a little bit more in another video but I just wanted to say that out loud and address it in a video so that people who thought that and maybe haven't said anything and then new people that come to the channel who just apparent assume yes um we're not in a romantic relationship we'll get into that more in another video all right lastly I wanted to address the discrepancy of the amount of time we are on video and post that you see and the amount of time we're not that we're not so for every moment of a video or that we Post online of any kind of post that you see there's like a huge a vast amount of time that you're not seeing I think I think there's and of course this isn't everybody but there's you know kind of this feeling of like oh if in a video like for example if I didn't leave in me washing my hands on camera there's like this assumption that I didn't wash my hands there's the ranch video we did everyone assumed we didn't shake the buttermilk because we didn't shake it on camera but we did we shook it just before we started filming before we thought about it Hannah got it out of the fridge and went shake shake shake put it down and then I start we started the video circling back to just assuming that I live here because the majority of our videos are filmed here or assuming Hannah isn't being quite truthful about how often she because I seem fine yeah how she feels bad a lot of the time because we film when we feel good and there's been times where I haven't felt good and I've thought I could film this as an example yeah as an example but I don't want to like you first of all I hardly ever think to do that yeah me because I feel so bad and then secondly I'm literally when I have my headaches I like can't keep my eyes open because I'm light sensitive and I get nauseous and it's just like I that's the last time you want to pick up the camera I imagine setting up a camera and just being like hey guys um and I would just think no like I'm just not going to do that and I think too I want to point out that a lot of these assumptions and questions and everything like that people just don't know like and so it's very understandable that you might assume assume any or all of these things um so that's why we make videos like this and talk about it so that you guys do know yeah just to explain it's very natural to be curious people are inherently nosy I always say that yeah and I just and and in like I don't mean that in a negative way I there don't come at me I just I also like to be um as transparent as I can be um with you guys so addressing some of these questions people seem to think is super defensive or we're being defensive about it and it's honestly just trying to straighten everything out and have you guys understand and not have as many questions yeah and we we want um you guys to get to know us and authenticity yes is a a very big priority for us so we want to be showing you our real selves and we want you to know how we really are yes and that it's okay for you to show your real s yes and so like we said we don't think to pick up the camera on our off days and I think that's okay but we also need to explain that there are plenty of those yeah all like all the time and this is one of those days for Hannah I actually did wake up with a headache which happens often but it wasn't a migraine as far as I can tell and it's finally left my brain today that's good yeah thank goodness sometimes they stay all day and then I wake up the next day with them too but sometimes I can get rid of them and that's fantastic and we want to give you a good representation of the thing whatever it is but you know if we filmed half of our day every day that would be so much I mean there's no way you could also upload that all yeah also a lot it would be so boring yes a lot of our lives are so so so boring for me I spend my off day like in my bed reading watching TV all day watching TV we're just normal people I might do some laundry you know but most of the time on my off days I don't leave my house I don't get out of bed and when I do I film it yeah a lot so that might make an interesting video just like what do you do if you'd like to see a video like that let us yeah just of like of like what do you guys do when it's just a boring like Saturday you're not together not filming if you guys would like to see oh yeah some kind of thing that we find boring we would say would make a horribly boring video let us know yeah you want to be bored no I'm just joking if you'd like to see something like that seriously let us know yeah and you know we so cra want to film what you guys want to see yes too so so a lot of our job is sitting around trying trying to figure out what you guys like yeah so anytime you have a suggestion for any kind of video or any kind of want to know recipe or anything you want to see from us or want to know from us let us know comment um on YouTube Facebook Instagram while we're on the subject if you're watching this and you clicked on the link
