stories from my childhood

I love how present her mom and dad were in her childhood.

when we needed her the most, she came back

Idk if this is intentional but this vid is such a good move. When a content creator becomes bigger and more glamorous, they lose relatability and their fans become estranged. Bringing it back to the roots builds that bond again.

THE CHAMBERLAIN LOGO OVER THE STARBUCKS KILLED ME!!! EMMA UR ICONIC

Emma's storytelling skills never fail to captivate me. She really has a way of bringing her childhood memories to life.

This was my favorite Emma’s video of all time. I can’t comprehend how she’s doing it but she just lays in bed talking bout some random memories filming different buildings and it turns into a cinematographic masterpiece. I’ve never seen nothing like this. She’s truly an artist

emma is the only youtuber that started really small and turned into mainstream celebrity and i can’t imagine how hard that is to navigate content wise. i could never be mad at emma for absence on youtube because i’m truly so proud of her success

“I was born and bred to gossip” SHES SOOO REAL FOR THAT LMAOOOOO

Its honestly been so cool to see how her videos have changed over the years

Only Emma can have a 40 minute video, lying in bed, telling stories and have you captivated the whole time

This very much felt like the personal ramblings that best friends share when one person is half asleep. It was intimate and simple- reminds me so much of my home town! Also Coraline was my favourite as well- I watched it probably 1000 times- sometimes daily when I didn't like what was on TV as a kid. I loved this and you girl!

I’m born and raised in San Bruno. Everything is spot on in this video from the vibe of our town to rolling pin donuts, la petite swimming lessons, that slim Starbucks, EVERYTHING…I’ll treasure this video even now that I’ve moved out

Emma is like my dad, she goes away for a while but when she comes back I'm so happy

her covering starbucks coffee is everything

The way a video of someone telling their childhood stories was so comforting

Shoutout to the Ms. Ladybug pillow pet, so fitting for this video which brought me back to my own childhood. Beautifully executed as always

Emma is still out here in 2024, representing the purest essence of the KRplusr. Legit makes me feel younger, like today is actually six years ago and this is what KRplus is

for some reason i feel nostalgic about emmas childhood even though i've never experienced it from this video 💀

this hits home, this exact feeling when coming back to your hometown is something we all felt sometime, and you captured it perfectly... steady shots, empty streets, childhood buildings, grey nostalgic tones... yeah this is a deep kind of feeling

One of my most favorite things in the world is learning about peoples childhoods or their favorite memories. Its such an intimate, beautiful thing to hear about the little flickers of the past that people still remember. A favorite snack, a best friend, something they only did with their parents that they still do today out of habit. A coworker once told me about how her family owned a small theater in one of the neighboring towns, like a full on old projection type theater that took breaks halfway through the movie. She told me about how shes a movie geek now because her and her brothers got to watch all of the new movies before they came out. She told me about how they used to draw all other the walls in the projection room and eat the snacks for free. It was seriously such a cute memory to share and she seemed so nostalgic and happy just to be able to talk about it and share it. People are so cute, and childhood is so precious.

her putting the Chamberlain Coffee logo over the Starbucks sign is everything

imagine emma searching for you on instagram…

what this tells us is you really had a good dad growing up. and to know he's still around and goes with you on little adventures is the most wholesome thing.

It’s only now that I realized what makes your content appealing. It’s the storytelling. And I’m kicking myself for not realizing that sooner.

man, that story about almost getting kidnaped has given me chills

Okayyyyy so now we need a storytime of you moving out of your hometown and start everything in LA. I’m to invested at this point 🥹🥹

why is no one talking about the fact she was almost kidnapped as a child

I don’t know why I feel sad when I watched this, but I really appreciate your content. Thank you for existing, Emma.

Nothing is better than when emma posts

"In this life if you don't know how to swim you're f*cking screwed." 💀The realest words of wisdom from Emma's parents.

this was so nostalgic. it is so weird to grow up and see places you used to go to or places that you remember but aren't there anymore. loved this video 🎀

em, your recollection of positive, happy childhood memories with your amazing dad made me sob. what i would give to have some of those. thank you for sharing and thank you michael for being what every little girls dream dad is

She’s basically just directed starred in and produced her own documentary? “Why’s Emma not on Netflix” she doesn’t need it. That’s why.

Every video of hers is just healing

her covering up the starbucks sign, esp in this age of boycotting, is EVERYTHING

the OG fans have been waiting for the apartment story for a longggg time

Emma told so many stories from her childhood and her hometown on her podcast but this is the first time we actually visually saw what it all looked like and I feel like we really lived her childhood with her through this video and it felt so nostalgic and the cinematography is also beautiful.

Emma is the only person who can be calm and entertaining and I’m here for it

It's beautiful to be able to see a side of Los Angeles/US (I'm european) that it's not common to see in movies or other youtube videos

this is fr my current favorite video. is so cozy and nostalgic and honestly it awakened some of my childhood memories that i hadn’t thought about for almost a decade. loved it soooo much

Her adding Emma Chamberlain over Starbucks 🧑‍🍳 😘 chefs kiss

The ladybug pillow pet is iconic

That LV story is wild you really almost got trafficked

Both episodes of anything goes with your parents were probably my favourites so far. Especially the one with your mum. You have such special bonds with them. I love getting these insights into younger Emma and your life growing up! 🥹

How is she this good? I am entranced by her stories and her on screen presence. This is what charisma looks like. Amazing. I feel like she represents what it means to be human - fears, vulnerabilities, memories, triumphs, enjoyment of the little things, family, self awareness, frustrations and so much more and all in one vlog.

This might be my favourite Emma video ever, I feel nostalgic for a childhood that wasn’t even mine

The white van story had me on the edge of my seat as if you're not still alive and well and filming this.

Even I feel that nostalgia now. BEST storytelling skill

I grew up in the same middle school town as Emma. Living just 2 blocks away from her. Everything that she mentioned brought me back to my own childhood. Didn’t go to the same middle school as her (I went further up by the high school) but living just 2 blocks away from each other for years and never meeting her & now watching this video and seeing who she has become is so awesome to see.

emma kills it every time. the way she cinematically evokes emotions in such a casual way is sooo cool

this gives me so much nostalgia as someone who grew up in the Bay Area but doesn’t live there anymore. i just went and googled some of my old hangout spots for the sake of it and it made me feel so good. it’s been a few years since ive been back and i can’t wait to visit again, ty emma for helping me remember my childhood memories 🫶

LMFAOO little emma getting aggresive over donuts is killing me bro. i love ur videos so much emma you have such a talent with putting videos and storytelling together :)

we’ve prayed for times like this

literally the only person i can listen to talk about their childhood for 40 minutes. this was such a cozy video, thanks for letting us take a peak into ur childhood

This is actually so cool bc I often forget you're from The Bay - San Bruno at that (I grew up in SF, went to high school in SSF, currently in college in San Bruno) & all the places you spoke about are places I grew up going to & still do! You really made it out! So proud of your accomplishments and love that you come back to spend time at home - which is same place I call home. You remind me that the sky is the limit🫶

I could watch hours of JUST her intros and outros with that nostalgic music and those aesthetic shots and still be happy

7:22 What a cinematic satisfying shot to watch! She talks about walking to that market with her dad and inserts a clip of an adult man and young girl walking out of that place ..i loved that so much i had to pause to comment

Emma is the best KRplusr for girls in their 20’s. I love how she captures nostalgia beautifully. I absolutely loved this video!

i just love how her videos always comfort me. I don’t really have one true friend in real life, but she always makes me smile. Love you emma 🥺

I rarely comment - I don’t exactly fit your demographic - but I saw a new post and was ecstatic! You remind me so much of my 29-year-old daughter. Yes, I’m a 54-year-old grandma! You give great advice to people young and old. I want you to know how much your videos help me when I am really missing my little girl. She is in the Navy and far away. Her birth mom died when she was very little. I raised her like my own. In videos when you have your hoodie on your head I swear you look just like her! What’s kind of funny is that her baby, my little granddaughter, is named Emma!! I love your coffee; we get it at Walmart. I wish you all the best! ❤

the pigeons at the beginnings just feels so emma

You know what. You are really good at comforting people.
That need to be comforted is underrated.
It's nurturing in nature.
Thanks Emma!

Emma is the first KRplusr in a very long time I can relate to, I kind of fell off of KRplus for a very long time for that same reason; not being able to find somebody who shares a similar past and experiences.
Thanks Emma ❤

her taking us to places where she spent her childhood and talking about it is such an intimate moment between us and her, thank you emma :) much love

emma trying a pan dulce for the first time has seriously healed me, like im filled with so much pride lol

Berkeley resident here ❤ Your love of the bay and nostalgia for childhood in the early 2000s I relate to a lot. This video hit me hard, thank you for sticking to your roots ❤❤❤

Thank you for this. It's funny how we all lived the same childhood. I'm from Germany and even though everything looks so different, it feels so close to what you showed and told us.

that's such a cute little town to grow up in. its so sweet how she talks about her memories with her dad and her old elementary school.

I went to elementary school with her. I remember one time someone has having a seizure on the floor and everyone was told don't call 911 and she was the only one to call 911. so then an extra two ambulances came over 😂😂

emma has such a way of articulating the melancholic changes that come with growing into your adult self while still holding space for the child within. love u forever

i jus started in middle school soo, u talking about ur experience w it was suuuuuuch a comforting thing to me ;) ty, i absolutely love that video

Theres something so sweet about after several travel vlogs, and Emma's New York videos, her being back in her hometown in her childhood bed telling us stories from her childhood, its refreshing in a way.

The chamberlain coffee logo over starbucks 😂

I am looking forward to a day where I am able to listen to people talking about their healthy normal childhood without feeling devastated but I got to a point where i am able to feel happy for the person so, i am happy for you and i love you very much, ur virtual presence is a luminiferous part of my day❤

low key this is the best thing emma has done so far… i would love seeing more content like this going forward

You’ve become so creative with your videos, I loved the cinematographic style in this video.

“That doesn’t feel right-Let’s go.”
I love your dad. What a gem. He’s such a brilliant artist, still eating a lot of burritos.✨🌯✨

was feeling so stressed and this made me feel so peaceful

I absolutely love the editing style in this love you Emma 💕

This video made me realize how much I’ve grown with Emma, started watching her when I was 15 and now I’m 21 and no matter how much I’ve evolved her vids and ag pod always feel like I’m just hanging out with a best friend, proud of how far the world has taken you

I love how vulnerable she is with us. Growing up watching her has helped shape my perspective of beginning to be an adult. :)

I watched the whole thing, love you Ems!!

this video is literally so comfortable and simply beautiful. amazing❤

Emma talking about her little thumb sucking break in elementary school is so sweet. Its like a child's equivalent closing your eyes and taking some deep breaths ❤

to hear Emma talk about your favorite pasta and Mexican restaurant is crazy, thank you for giving them a spotlight

I love the vibe of your town, it’s chill and precious, and I do think that’s better than living in a loud or more popular places where people think it’s the “vibe”

Her videos are so nostalgic. Early 2000s vibes and it really brings me back to my childhood Fr. Not to mention how relatable and welcoming emma is.

The thumb break-story is very touching and is breaking my heart a little. Being a child, experiencing so many things for the first time, not yet having a frame of reference of what's ok to have to just live with and deal with alone, and what's rather something someone could really demand support for. And maybe not have the language to communicate ones struggles.. Younger Emma found a way to cope with her anxiety, like many other children find their coping mechanisms. Emma is showing such respect to her inner child in the way she's telling these stories, I think that serves a healing purpose

Emma you’re so lucky to remember your childhood so vividly, i wonder how many amazing stuff i just completely can’t recall, i remember so little i can even number them w my fingers

I love watching your videos, they remind me that we all have different experiences. It's so comforting having nostalgic memories.

love how chill your vids are

and just when the world needed her most, she returned

she makes me feel so comforted. like an old friend and y’all are catching up together. thank you emma

It's been 3 years since i last saw one of your videos. You gave me so much joy and how much i related to you in a dysfunctional family. Just watching the intro is so nostalgic. Thank you Emma for making these entertaining videos. The food, the clothe, the attitude, the vibe...thank you honestly

haven't watched emma in so long but her old vlogs are some of my favourites and this totally gave me the vibes of those but older and wiser in a way? i loved the editing, nostalgic vibes and casual storytelling

mall footage is so depressing I’m obsessed

her videos are always so therapeutic

An emma a day keeps the sadness away. You're indeed a therapy! 🥹🤍

this video made me realize that i have so little memories of my childhood foods, they're mostly still the foods that i'm eating right now as a 20yo, but i literally can't remember what they tasted like or what i preferred.

Being born and raised in San Bruno and having to move away, this makes me wanna go visit. Brought back so many memories
