I remember watching Grace a few years ago when she seemed like a breath of fresh air from all the other grabby, lifestyle, promoted content youtubers, she was still a student then and her video's seemed like a student having a bit of fun outside of her studies. I admired her for walking away from what seemed to be a fairly successful modelling career because it wasn't right for her. I don't know if she ever discussed the detail of what went on with that but I assume there was some unpleasantness there and thought maybe she had tried to recapture the safety of her childhood at home after leaving modelling, which I can understand.
Perhaps the pandemic has affected any career plans she might have had but I do think she is in a sort of trap lots of youtubers and content creators end up in. They are making a living off videos and feel like they need to keep churning out more of the same, keeping up the same vibe that isn't really authenic for someone who is no longer a teen or early 20's. It just ends up feeling forced, which it is, the old crowd get bored and age out and the younger ones are like who's the weird adult acting like a child? The content creator is also bored but ever more desperate to hold on to views and subscribers, its sad really but we've all seen it time and time again. I just think relying on youtube or any social media platform as your main income stream is just a bad strategy its not good for your personal development or your mental health. I'm not saying people shouldn't make content but it should be something they do in addition to a real job or purpose or at least in tandem with it. At least Grace has a skill in baking that people love to watch I don't know what she doesn't make more of that over just buying stuff and spending money. I do think living at home into your 20's does affect you, its just inevitable that you slip into that old family dynamic which is fine and I know lots of people don't have much choice these days but I wonder if she even really knows who she is as an adult without having lived on her own or in a houseshare? Going straight from one home where she was shaped by her relationship to her family to another where she is shaped by her relationship to her husband seems like she is skipping a really important step in life.
Still I do like her and wish her well.
