Maybe it’s just because I’ve been down but I don’t find your content depressing at all. I think it’s actually uplifting to see someone struggling with similar things to me pushing through and challenging themselves. And I can also understand why being that person online could cause you to need breaks and I hope you keep taking them as needed! Thank you for being a friend to so many :)
I agree with everyone else's comments. It's refreshing to see a TH-camr not always happy, but give us the full spectrum of their life not just the highlights so that makes you very unique and we appreciate it
It’s so refreshing to watch someone who is finding their way through life’s ups and downs. My mum passed away at Christmas and so I can relate to this video so much…..2023 has been my most challenging year so far and just getting up each morning is a challenge. I also bought pink peonies a couple of days ago to make myself smile 😍…..natures antidepressant. You are doing a great job Chelsea x
Chelsea, as someone who has recently lost their partner, suddenly and unexpectedly, the realness in your videos is of great comfort. Grief is teaching me a lot of things, but one of those things is how powerful and necessary it is to face and to sit with ourselves -- through all emotions. I appreciate the authenticity and down-to-earth nature of/in your videos and know that it isn't something many can or do provide on any platform. Thank you for being honest about both your lows and your highs and for allowing us to share in them
So sorry for your loss. I wish you the best and send you a lot of love. You are so brave to have this mindset while experiencing something so difficult. I wish you the best and send you a lot of love!
I am so so sorry :( sending you so much love in your healing. I can see you sharing your story here has resonated with others and definitely with myself. You are incredibly strong!! ❤
Man, I am an average 30-something living alone in Germany and holy fuck I have never in my life related to anyone more. Thanks for sharing your experiences Chelsea!
I came to New York as a student last year, it was my first time in the US and also the first time living alone in a studio. It was quite intimidating in the beginning but now I just love this life. This city has something to offer to everyone. I also travelled alone to SF, Vegas, Boston, Pittsburg and Chicago. Looking forward to many solo trips in the coming months!! The TH-cam algorithm was pretty smart in recommending your channel, great work!!Always look forward to your videos:) And the Tarka Dal is one of my favorites!!
Mental health is so important. I to have recently slowed WAY down on my drinking (like 94%) and it's hard finding wholesome activities to participate in when living in a party, college city. I love watching your videos because it reminds me how important it is to be proactive with our mental health. Living alone and being single can be hard but it does offer such a powerful opportunity to really get to know oneself and grow as a person. May sound weird but I'm down to make a new virtual friend who is going through a similar life stage as me. Here if you ever wish to chat. Keep on being awesome Lady 👍
The Trader Joe’s section was so chaotic and I hope to see more of them. Especially bc a lot of bloggers draggggg out their haul. This felt like a breath of fresh air- just like you! ❤
Jeez! You actually move all that junk around and vacuum in back of your furniture?! I can't even determine where my vacuum cleaner is buried! Guess I'll find it someday. Good for you, Chelsea!
man i let my canister vacuum fossilize in my closet until i replaced it with a cordless dyson. now its on a wall-mounted charger in the kitchen and im hella vacuuming because its so convenient
@@katana2k Cool, Kat. I've got a very small portable thing I pulled outta the trash several years ago. It works (sucks?) Got new filters, too. Now, I've just gotta get up the ambition to vacuum this dump.
I find your videos really comforting, they are real and relaxing. The way you communicate is reassuring and your content is genuine, it’s not depressing at all! I don’t feel alone when I watch videos from TH-camrs who have my similar everyday struggles; in fact, I find new ways to face a situation. Keep going on ❤
Love your videos. I watch it generally while eating. Then it feels less lonely. I really had to laugh at the scene with the TV and the remote :) wish you the best. Greetings from Germany
Love that you're channel is growing so much that sponsors want to be on it 😊. You never know this may be your full time job one day. I have read all of Tara's books. Daisy was my favorite.
I’m a sucker for Love Island myself… 😂 they honestly need to look into a 40+ version… but I wonder how much tv drama that may not generate lol 10pm bed time and nappy naps… yeah maybe not so entertaining lol ❤
First .. I often forget to compliment you on the quality of your filming and editing, always great shots and smooth composition. Rearrangement .. like moving around the sardines in their tin, still love living in small places, so easy to clean. Glad you had a little break and are having fun. So glad you're going to Prague too. Of course you add to our lives .. why would we be here ?
Such a wonderful video! Thanks so much! Recently moved across the country, started a new job and moved in with my boyfriend all in the same month. Was super anxious and excited but it was soooo worth it. Enjoying your vlogs, as I'm trying to make friends in a new city. Cheers from Germany!
Hi. Been really enjoying your videos lately! I found one of them recently and today binge watched a few to catch up. Thank you algorithm for putting you on my main page when I open the app. I don’t find your videos depressing at all, I find them very enjoyable to watch. And someone I can relate to. As far as the question from this video, the biggest challenge I recently had was leaving an extremely toxic company at the end of April. I had been at the job overall for 8 years, but that was with the previous company….til the toxic one completely took over about a year ago. I am very proud of myself for getting up the courage to leave and not continue to be treated so horribly. Now I am in a new job that so far I am liking.
Don’t feel bad about having more “depressing” videos! ❤ We enjoy seeing a realistic, vulnerable part of your life living in NYC. That’s not to say you should feel like you need to involve your audience in on everything…but don’t feel bad about being depressing/depressed. Life is full of ups and downs, and it helps for people to get to see themselves in the content they watch. Happy go lucky TH-cam videos are a dime a dozen, but someone being real, and talking about their feelings (good and bad)…that’s something special!
I really admire your doing these videos. Reminds me of my younger days (which unfortunately were a looong time ago). You're pretty, you're smart, articulate, you have a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. You are above all realistic and accepting that nothing in life is certain. I always say enjoy the little things in life because the big things are too few and far between to make a difference. You show you are enjoying the little things. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing these videos. 😉
I love that you are so down to earth and tell it like it is. Be yourself that's the advice that I would give you.I am just wondering if there is a possibility that you could move from another apartment? Just thinking if more light and another space would make you more happy? Cause I can totally relate and of course it takes time. I am 52 years old and manifested when I was like in 6th grade how my life would have been and it did. Of course it takes time and you will get there. I am glad you're feeling much better. Thank for your vlogs!
I hope you’re doing well, especially with the apocalyptic vibes NYC is dealing with because of forest fires originating across the border in Canada. Cheers!
Changed careers this year into a much more stressful and difficult career after a cozy 15 year stint. Huge change, it is exhausting and challenging but I am more professionally fulfilled than ever and it is worth the stress and time commitment. Sometimes we need a push and we can surprise ourselves, especially if there’s a payoff in view.
Now I'm contemplating rearranging my room!! Nooo! lol always nice to see another video from you. I can't imagine going on an entire trip all by myself as a single woman, you're so brave! Glad you're having fun tho :) in spite of the struggles
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would recommend selling the couch and getting a comfortable chair. It will give you more space and make your apartment work for you. As a fellow introvert, it can be difficult to design an apartment for our needs, and not for what we think it should look like for other people.
I've really been challenging myself my whole life but the past few years have been intense. My son moved out of home in 2018 and I decided to go to uni and study writing so I could try and become a 'digital nomad'. I also started my own business doing tours and private airport shuttles. Then COVID. Business died, moved from the country to the city, changed universities, had several articles published and lots of full on stuff. I'm 55 and now I have a new career doing comms and events for the philanthropy department of the university I go to. I have two subjects to go next semester and then I will graduate at the end of this year. Oh, and I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020. We survive don't we! Love to you from Australia xx
I won't ask anything about you and your mental health. That's your personal stuff, but I am glad you went for the run. Love the physical exercise. And a room re-arrange is always refreshing on the brain.
You are such a beautiful soul, and a strong woman - please do not feel bad about not keeping up with your videos - we miss you when you're gone, but we're always so happy when you post a new video😄!! I definitely resonate with you on being a true/deep introvert, having anxiety (fun!), and occasionally pushing myself to experience something new in life. That is sooooo important!! Life is a highway (or a rollercoaster - whatever term you choose), and there will always be ups and downs - and the fact that you are soooo open and vulnerable in your videos...I absolutely admire you for that! I am a very private person, and I even have a difficult time telling my friends/family when I am struggling with my mental health - but that's my problem, hahah! As I write this I am currently experiencing anxiety/depression, and I am fighting my way through it so I don't get too down in the trenches. But like you did, I need to find / do something that will put a pause on this, or maybe even give me a new perspective on life. So, THANK YOU so much for posting about your anxiety, my heart goes out to you - and you're not alone! 💓 Always looking forward to your next video... take as much time as you need between posting videos. Your health comes first.
I just wanted to comment and say I really love your content this content is much more relatable than all the other nyc vloggers you always see I relate to you so much on how you see the world and the feelings you have and I wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your content you have genuinely became one of my favorite content creators💛 Also it’s okay to take a break from youtube if you need to I will definitely be here when you come back! (edit you have the same birthday as my brother lol random but I found it cool😂)
I swear every time I watch your videos I am reminded of myself. Definitely not depressing although I understand how it feels that way. It seems like a rut but it’s not because you’re living, striving, and trying to make each day something new. And all you do you are doing for yourself. Yeah, there are moments like having that Friday feeling but no where to go and nothing to do, but then fulfill yourself with relaxing in bed and reading. Then times like that are balanced out by the fun and beauty you experienced the next day. Then who what’s what the next day will bring, but it’s for sure you’ll make something positive out of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s inspiring me so much to focus more on my own self care.
I really like this video, it feels like a friend who's sharing her life with me. And as a person who live in a big city i feel deeply connected to your content. Thanks fo making me feel less lonely.🥰
I find your videos charming and fun. Two things: why didn't you ask the selfie stick guy to lower the thing? I totally would have! And your reheating the burger in a frying pan made me LOL : )
Biggest challenge my end is giving up alcohol... as we all know, EVERYTHING social is based around it... nearly four months so far, I feel great and I don't miss drinking which is even better. I've been pushing myself on my bike, broke 50 miles a few weeks ago and then 65 last weekend... there's no way I could do that after a night out!!! Really refreshing to see your blog... very down to earth and honest, it makes a change!
Just found my new favorite channel. Your videos are so comforting and I hope you find this comforting too. The last time I struggled was just last night and then I'm sure the next is today, Every day is a battle, just equally difficult and heavy but striving to go on. Watching your vids is one of the few rests I have for the day Thank you for being real. ❤️
Hello! I've been watching for a few months now. I don't know how I found your channel but I'm greatful I did. We are the same person (but different in our own ways.) I would definitely be your friend irl. I'm at the part where you say your content is depressing. I wanted to come tell you I greatly appreciate your authentic content; please don't be anything other than what you are+living+experiencing. I am midlife. You are voicing and living so much of what I am. I thought I was alone in the way I feel and experience life+work. Because of a series of events in my life, I thought it was me, I'm doing something wrong, I'm broken, or whatever, but watching you live the same life and feel the same way, in a different part of America, makes me feel better. I wish I could put it into better words. Side note, I quit drinking bc I had to, almost 6 years ago. I am proud of you for putting down the alcohol, to whatever degree, and trying a different lifestyle. Alcohol is a depressant, along with making you feel terrible afterwards, it's low-vibe, and is super expensive. It adds to poor mental health. I am very sorry you are experiencing bad mental health at times. We are not supposed to live the way the world system is currently designed, it's not you ❤ it's a reflection of the times, I believe.
You have many supports and you even support yourself, yeah! Perhaps, you meditate, I don’t know but if you did it would help too. The stress that many encounter is a little abnormal for we humans. Most of all I wanted to say is that you offer viewers a lot in the ordinary life which is really not our ordinary life but yours. Please take as much time for yourself as you are able. You deserve you.
Hi Chelsea I found your videos a few months ago, and as someone who has dealt with anxiety/ panic attacks since I was in the 5th grade I understand how difficult it is to get yourself going and doing the things that are difficult on a daily basis such as even getting out of bed and going to work. I just went through a huge life change with a big move for my husbands job and have been struggling with an increase in anxiety and wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Why can’t I just do the things I need to do? Ya know what I mean! But thank you for showing the reality of how life is for a 30 something with anxiety, and single life supporting yourself. Remember take each moment one step at a time and some days one minute or hour at a time.
the last time I really pushed myself (might seem really small) was to ask my co-worker/friend for a (friend) date and they were really happy about it - and so was I. I try to make a conscious effort to surround myself with people whose presence I value and who also value my presence.
So glad you had a getaway to Miami! Well deserved. Refreshing one’s personal space and turning things around is a great way to change up your routine. Sitting in the sunlight on the couch is one the great joys in life. Cheers.
I‘m going through it right now, but girl you made my day🖤 Just found your channel a few weeks ago, and when you mentioned loving to make your bed I started to smile,same here, people don’t get it most of the time…and then (I’m not in to star sign stuff at all☝️), but I usually check the time at 21:09, too. It’s also my birthday 🎉 So if anyone has to hear it today: even at the lowest points we are able to smile for a second. We are more complex and multifaceted as humans. I’m not a native speaker, but I hope, I get my point across 🙃 Thanks for taking us with you🖤
I don't live alone, but I feel alone. My 2 kids are grown and out of the house. My youngest is in HS and I hardly see her. My husband works a lot and we don't have a great relationship, so I'm reinventing myself. I struggle with mental health issues too and find your content real and uplifting.
I love your channel, Chelsea, and I adore you for being so real. I also relate so much. I live alone in a big city, graduated from uni last year, got an office job and I'm trying to work life out but that's quite a lonely experience. So here I am, watching your videos and feeling less alone. Btw I went to a concert for my birthday, on my own (ny band fun fact) and it was an amazing experience and really great fun, I still can't get over it 😅 Love to you from Poland ❤
I lived in Illinois from 2013 to 2019. Coming back home to Australia to live is amazing as I live with the beaches, mountains and lakes around me. But it took a toll on my mind and body with the change of other side of world and time change etc. U don't realise how much the change effects your whole self. But I started walking around the beaches etc getting back into the Australian groove and now I it's great! You are doing Amazing in life Mate, you got this 😊🦘🌏
I don't think there is any problem with this vlog and I am so glad to see you in these moments of happiness and energy after hte concert! As you asked, here it is, my challenge: this year, after making a vow during the pandemic, that if the same political party wins on the elections in my home country, that has been in power for 12 years, I will leave the country, I have left my home country and moved to a country not that far away from my home. This is because I do not stand for anything that political party has been doing to my country for the last decade and I tried to change it but couldn't. And life is short. In the new country I know the language, I have been working in foreign companies all my life anyway, the culture is not really different. But man, it was still so stressful to move! I had a pretty stable life at home and felt like it is a mistake that I am destroying the life I've built up just to prove a point. But I still did it. And frankly, my life isn't that much more different here, so now I'm thinking why I didn't move here sooner. Now that most of the "work" is behind me regarding the relocation, I am not sure what my goal is, where do I go from here... I don't think I will get married or have kids and I am approaching 40 like basically tomorrow. So what now? I thought I would already know by this time, if I didn't know previously, what I want to do. But it seems like the older I get, the less I know what my purpose is in this life.
I find your content to be real, soothing, peaceful. I rewatch your videos often while relaxing. Whether you are out and about or at home doing nothing, we are here for it. ♥️
There’s truly nothing more joyous than being a genuine, funny, and honest human. Your videos bring so much love and joy to a close knit community regardless of “depressive” venting. 💜✨ I love the room change! There’s something so exhilarating about a new layout that makes home feel brand spankin’ new. You also cleaned your fridge?????! I need that ambition in my life rn 💀
Love watching your videos. I have no plans to move to New York City (I'm actually all the way in the Netherlands haha) but you give me so much comfort!
I feel like I am challenging myself this year. Starting a new job, working 4 days with a toddler. I know it’ll pay off, it’s important to me but damn it’s been a toughie. Last year was a year of physical health challenges, I had two major dental surgeries, covid - all within 6 weeks. But now, I am reaping the rewards not having the surgeries looming. So that’s a bonus and I’m glad all the hard stuff is behind me. Take each day, just keep pushing and all of a sudden you’re doing it and it’s your new normal. Love your videos .
oh my god you are an inspiration! so resilient! the fact that you're so positive in the face of these challenges says so much. Your toddler has a great parent :)
I also went to a concert this week because a friend spontaneously invited me and I didn't know how much I needed to just get out until that day!! It's good to get out there out of one's comfort zone and routine once in a while :) great video as always 🥰
The thing I did the challenge myself was, now don't laugh, I got myself up out of bed and mowed my back yard! I guess I should add that I'm , terminally ill so all I do is lay in bed.🤔 I don't know why I thought I should put don't laugh but it made me laugh for some reason I think I failed this challenge which is even funnier😂. I'm so bad at this.
Love this video as always!! I made the biggest change of my life, this month. I moved to New York City this last weekend!! Finally. I found a room on Craigslist in Brooklyn with 2 roommates, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been a dream of mine since high school, and after turning 27, having a quarter life crisis, and lots of therapy, I’m here. Excited for this journey and what the pages in this next chapter will hold, and you and your channel have been a big inspiration in that 😌 just want to say thank you for your honest and authentic content, it’s incredibly helpful and inspiring and literally makes me feel more comfortable in my videos to show up as I am. I’m excited to keep seeing how your journey unfolds as well! Fingers crossed for that direct beam of sunlight 🤞🏻
I love watching your life in New York City. I admire you for living your own life, you are a very brave lady. I’m way to chicken to live alone. Of course I’m much older than you and married with a grown daughter but still I’m a chicken lol
T.J. Reed is amazing. Which other two books did you read of her? It's so impressive how the main character have these strong personalities and behave so different than other characters in other books from different authors would. Can't describe it better :D Carrie Soto is still my fav.
Last time I challenged myself? A long time ago. Have been in a serious funk. As I’m sitting here eating a bowl of pasta watching you, made me remember to be grateful for having a space of my own. Can’t waste away depressed when so much beauty around us. As always, thank you for the true realness of a single gal. And thanks to you, you turned me into Trader Joe’s cherry juice. I mix it with sparkling water and tastes like a healthy soda. Love the new space.. but probably like me, it will go back eventually 😂. So good to see you back🎉. BTW, where is your comforter from?
I challenged myself a couple of weeks ago to go out on a walk. I'm on permanent disability for OCD, and leaving my flat even to take out trash is a project, I heavily rely on ordering everything at my door, etc. It was nice weather and I missed being in the woods so I walked out. Was rewarding 🙂

Just thinking if more light and another space would make you more happy? Cause I can totally relate and of course it takes time. I am 52 years old and manifested when I was like in 6th grade how my life would have been and it did. Of course it takes time and you will get there. I am glad you're feeling much better. Thank for your vlogs!
Your videos make me smile. I love the way you just put yourself out there. Girl being brave!
I hope you’re doing well, especially with the apocalyptic vibes NYC is dealing with because of forest fires originating across the border in Canada. Cheers!
I adore how vulnerable you are, i can’t imagine how terrifying that has to be. But it is so appreciated. 💗
Thanks love ❤️
Changed careers this year into a much more stressful and difficult career after a cozy 15 year stint. Huge change, it is exhausting and challenging but I am more professionally fulfilled than ever and it is worth the stress and time commitment. Sometimes we need a push and we can surprise ourselves, especially if there’s a payoff in view.
Now I'm contemplating rearranging my room!! Nooo! lol always nice to see another video from you. I can't imagine going on an entire trip all by myself as a single woman, you're so brave! Glad you're having fun tho :) in spite of the struggles
you can easily put 400 miles on your Ultraboosts 22...I mean they are very heavy but durable...I have really liked your vid
Yes! Definitely going to keep them in the rotation until they start to hurt my knees lol
Very cool you have a sponsor now, love ya vlogs ❤
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would recommend selling the couch and getting a comfortable chair. It will give you more space and make your apartment work for you. As a fellow introvert, it can be difficult to design an apartment for our needs, and not for what we think it should look like for other people.
I agree, I do that
I've really been challenging myself my whole life but the past few years have been intense. My son moved out of home in 2018 and I decided to go to uni and study writing so I could try and become a 'digital nomad'. I also started my own business doing tours and private airport shuttles. Then COVID. Business died, moved from the country to the city, changed universities, had several articles published and lots of full on stuff. I'm 55 and now I have a new career doing comms and events for the philanthropy department of the university I go to. I have two subjects to go next semester and then I will graduate at the end of this year. Oh, and I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020. We survive don't we! Love to you from Australia xx
And there I was thinking I’m 54 and probably the only viewer old enough to be Chelsea’s mum. Oh I’m also Australian 😂 👋
@@mrscuteas haha hellooooo! I'm fascinated by the ways other people live around the world.
I’m 45 and an Aussie too! You sound SUPER cool
@@mrscuteas 54 as well!! (from Italy)
I,am 60 year old English guy living in Sweden,good luck and greetings to you all
I won't ask anything about you and your mental health. That's your personal stuff, but I am glad you went for the run. Love the physical exercise. And a room re-arrange is always refreshing on the brain.
You are such a beautiful soul, and a strong woman - please do not feel bad about not keeping up with your videos - we miss you when you're gone, but we're always so happy when you post a new video😄!! I definitely resonate with you on being a true/deep introvert, having anxiety (fun!), and occasionally pushing myself to experience something new in life. That is sooooo important!! Life is a highway (or a rollercoaster - whatever term you choose), and there will always be ups and downs - and the fact that you are soooo open and vulnerable in your videos...I absolutely admire you for that! I am a very private person, and I even have a difficult time telling my friends/family when I am struggling with my mental health - but that's my problem, hahah! As I write this I am currently experiencing anxiety/depression, and I am fighting my way through it so I don't get too down in the trenches. But like you did, I need to find / do something that will put a pause on this, or maybe even give me a new perspective on life. So, THANK YOU so much for posting about your anxiety, my heart goes out to you - and you're not alone! 💓 Always looking forward to your next video... take as much time as you need between posting videos. Your health comes first.
thanks so much Domoina! I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time at the moment. You seem like such a lovely person, and so strong 💓 much love
I just wanted to comment and say I really love your content this content is much more relatable than all the other nyc vloggers you always see I relate to you so much on how you see the world and the feelings you have and I wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your content you have genuinely became one of my favorite content creators💛 Also it’s okay to take a break from youtube if you need to I will definitely be here when you come back!
(edit you have the same birthday as my brother lol random but I found it cool😂)
I'm a new subscriber, and I really appreciate your content. Please continue with this kind of video. ❤ (I need to clean my refrigerator! 😂)
so glad you found me!! welcome
I swear every time I watch your videos I am reminded of myself. Definitely not depressing although I understand how it feels that way. It seems like a rut but it’s not because you’re living, striving, and trying to make each day something new. And all you do you are doing for yourself. Yeah, there are moments like having that Friday feeling but no where to go and nothing to do, but then fulfill yourself with relaxing in bed and reading. Then times like that are balanced out by the fun and beauty you experienced the next day. Then who what’s what the next day will bring, but it’s for sure you’ll make something positive out of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s inspiring me so much to focus more on my own self care.
Me hating change and watching you rearrange your room. Nope don't like it. Feels weird. LOL
I like Miami, but it is so hot and humid there for us New Englanders. Can you do a comparison between NYC and Miami, please?
Fort Lauderdale is a nice place to visit as well. I love the Art Deco there - it is gorgeous.
Congrats on having the first sponsorship! Watching your video is so enjoyable since you shows all the unsexy moment in people's life so vivid
I LOVE your videos!! They're always so... relatable and down to earth. I am so happy I found your channel!
thank you so much!!
I really like this video, it feels like a friend who's sharing her life with me. And as a person who live in a big city i feel deeply connected to your content. Thanks fo making me feel less lonely.🥰
❤ love your videos. Thank you for the honesty. The smiles and the tears!
Your videos make me feel less alone ❤❤❤❤
I find your videos charming and fun. Two things: why didn't you ask the selfie stick guy to lower the thing? I totally would have! And your reheating the burger in a frying pan made me LOL : )
ahaha i'm too shy 🥸
I was having a shit day but when you said “about as energetic as a stick of butter” that had my actually laughing out loud. 😂😂
Hey, i feel like I'm so addicted to your videos 😅. So relatable as similar age I guess. Id like to visit Nyc someday, from UK so will be my first.
The new apartment looks nice! I love that good post-rearrange feeling:)
it's the best :)
Biggest challenge my end is giving up alcohol... as we all know, EVERYTHING social is based around it... nearly four months so far, I feel great and I don't miss drinking which is even better. I've been pushing myself on my bike, broke 50 miles a few weeks ago and then 65 last weekend... there's no way I could do that after a night out!!!
Really refreshing to see your blog... very down to earth and honest, it makes a change!
Welcome to the club virgo! always a pleasure to be part of your journey. keep it up!
I'd put your bed back where it was, only in the opposite direction.
OK I haven't seen Oculus so that's cool. I also need to see the HighLine please. I'm a tourist
Just found your channel, I think you’re relatable, genuine, and quite funny 😂 ❣️
Just found my new favorite channel. Your videos are so comforting and I hope you find this comforting too. The last time I struggled was just last night and then I'm sure the next is today, Every day is a battle, just equally difficult and heavy but striving to go on. Watching your vids is one of the few rests I have for the day
Thank you for being real. ❤️
I am loving you videos. I love your openness and rawness 😊 it’s life and I’m glad your showing it
Hello! I've been watching for a few months now. I don't know how I found your channel but I'm greatful I did.
We are the same person (but different in our own ways.) I would definitely be your friend irl.
I'm at the part where you say your content is depressing. I wanted to come tell you I greatly appreciate your authentic content; please don't be anything other than what you are+living+experiencing.
I am midlife. You are voicing and living so much of what I am. I thought I was alone in the way I feel and experience life+work. Because of a series of events in my life, I thought it was me, I'm doing something wrong, I'm broken, or whatever, but watching you live the same life and feel the same way, in a different part of America, makes me feel better. I wish I could put it into better words.
Side note, I quit drinking bc I had to, almost 6 years ago. I am proud of you for putting down the alcohol, to whatever degree, and trying a different lifestyle.
Alcohol is a depressant, along with making you feel terrible afterwards, it's low-vibe, and is super expensive. It adds to poor mental health.
I am very sorry you are experiencing bad mental health at times. We are not supposed to live the way the world system is currently designed, it's not you ❤ it's a reflection of the times, I believe.
Edit: I think you'd love having an air fryer
Thanks for being so honest. I have depression and anxiety so now what you’re going through. Love you California Joanna
Glad that you were able to get away and do a reset in your home. Have a great weekend! 😊
The chaotic Trader Joe’s haul was great!
This year is my struggle year, so insanely out of my element but so excited.
You have many supports and you even support yourself, yeah! Perhaps, you meditate, I don’t know but if you did it would help too. The stress that many encounter is a little abnormal for we humans. Most of all I wanted to say is that you offer viewers a lot in the ordinary life which is really not our ordinary life but yours. Please take as much time for yourself as you are able. You deserve you.
Hi Chelsea I found your videos a few months ago, and as someone who has dealt with anxiety/ panic attacks since I was in the 5th grade I understand how difficult it is to get yourself going and doing the things that are difficult on a daily basis such as even getting out of bed and going to work. I just went through a huge life change with a big move for my husbands job and have been struggling with an increase in anxiety and wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Why can’t I just do the things I need to do? Ya know what I mean! But thank you for showing the reality of how life is for a 30 something with anxiety, and single life supporting yourself. Remember take each moment one step at a time and some days one minute or hour at a time.
Heyyyyy Chels... We love seeing and hanging out with you no matter what always wishing you the best.
Although I live in Atlanta, your videos, the way you convey your emotions and thoughts, all resonate with me. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy watching your videos because you are a beautiful woman inside and outside. You are an attractive woman.
the last time I really pushed myself (might seem really small) was to ask my co-worker/friend for a (friend) date and they were really happy about it - and so was I. I try to make a conscious effort to surround myself with people whose presence I value and who also value my presence.
Lovely video, thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
This is reality,same life like me in Malaysia. The different is I work as retailers
So glad you had a getaway to Miami! Well deserved. Refreshing one’s personal space and turning things around is a great way to change up your routine. Sitting in the sunlight on the couch is one the great joys in life. Cheers.
I‘m going through it right now, but girl you made my day🖤
Just found your channel a few weeks ago, and when you mentioned loving to make your bed I started to smile,same here, people don’t get it most of the time…and then (I’m not in to star sign stuff at all☝️), but I usually check the time at 21:09, too.
It’s also my birthday 🎉
So if anyone has to hear it today: even at the lowest points we are able to smile for a second. We are more complex and multifaceted as humans.
I’m not a native speaker, but I hope, I get my point across 🙃
Thanks for taking us with you🖤
even when we’re depressed, we still do little dances when we get home
@@katana2k I never miss a kitchen dance 😌
I am also 30-something and living alone in NYC😁really like your channel ❤️
I have heard about this, it was so cool to see this experience from a local. Thanks for trying and sharing. Still felt the magic of manhattenhenge ❤
I don't live alone, but I feel alone. My 2 kids are grown and out of the house. My youngest is in HS and I hardly see her. My husband works a lot and we don't have a great relationship, so I'm reinventing myself. I struggle with mental health issues too and find your content real and uplifting.
Sponsored! You did a great job.
the fight with the earphones cable 😂too real. This is why I can never go back from wireless :P
taylor jenkins reid is the same as colleen hoover to me lol
I love your channel, Chelsea, and I adore you for being so real. I also relate so much. I live alone in a big city, graduated from uni last year, got an office job and I'm trying to work life out but that's quite a lonely experience. So here I am, watching your videos and feeling less alone. Btw I went to a concert for my birthday, on my own (ny band fun fact) and it was an amazing experience and really great fun, I still can't get over it 😅 Love to you from Poland ❤
A real shame how one of the strongest countries in the world has young people that they squeeze the life out of…
Thanks for the comment on Neil DeGrasse Tyson. And the Trader Joe's unload with the "Any Questions?!?" was hysterical.
Sending some good vibes your way. :)
I lived in Illinois from 2013 to 2019. Coming back home to Australia to live is amazing as I live with the beaches, mountains and lakes around me. But it took a toll on my mind and body with the change of other side of world and time change etc. U don't realise how much the change effects your whole self. But I started walking around the beaches etc getting back into the Australian groove and now I it's great!
You are doing Amazing in life Mate, you got this 😊🦘🌏
Where in australia do you live bcus as a Sydneysider im not around mountains and lakes😂
@@ye23. that's because U live in Sydney. I live in Wollongong where I do have a actual lake, ocean and mountains around me 🤷
I’m 50 and forgot how young 30 is. I remember feeling this same way when I moved to New York 20 years ago….you’re doing amazing 😻
I don't think there is any problem with this vlog and I am so glad to see you in these moments of happiness and energy after hte concert!
As you asked, here it is, my challenge: this year, after making a vow during the pandemic, that if the same political party wins on the elections in my home country, that has been in power for 12 years, I will leave the country, I have left my home country and moved to a country not that far away from my home. This is because I do not stand for anything that political party has been doing to my country for the last decade and I tried to change it but couldn't. And life is short.
In the new country I know the language, I have been working in foreign companies all my life anyway, the culture is not really different. But man, it was still so stressful to move!
I had a pretty stable life at home and felt like it is a mistake that I am destroying the life I've built up just to prove a point. But I still did it. And frankly, my life isn't that much more different here, so now I'm thinking why I didn't move here sooner.
Now that most of the "work" is behind me regarding the relocation, I am not sure what my goal is, where do I go from here... I don't think I will get married or have kids and I am approaching 40 like basically tomorrow. So what now? I thought I would already know by this time, if I didn't know previously, what I want to do. But it seems like the older I get, the less I know what my purpose is in this life.
I find your content to be real, soothing, peaceful. I rewatch your videos often while relaxing. Whether you are out and about or at home doing nothing, we are here for it. ♥️
There’s truly nothing more joyous than being a genuine, funny, and honest human. Your videos bring so much love and joy to a close knit community regardless of “depressive” venting. 💜✨
I love the room change! There’s something so exhilarating about a new layout that makes home feel brand spankin’ new. You also cleaned your fridge?????! I need that ambition in my life rn 💀
awesome vid as always! glad you had some time away! i just re-arranged my space too lol, it feels good but very different 😂
Love watching your videos. I have no plans to move to New York City (I'm actually all the way in the Netherlands haha) but you give me so much comfort!
Beautiful ending i found loving myself is finding myself and i have enjoying single life lol
I feel like I am challenging myself this year. Starting a new job, working 4 days with a toddler. I know it’ll pay off, it’s important to me but damn it’s been a toughie.
Last year was a year of physical health challenges, I had two major dental surgeries, covid - all within 6 weeks. But now, I am reaping the rewards not having the surgeries looming. So that’s a bonus and I’m glad all the hard stuff is behind me. Take each day, just keep pushing and all of a sudden you’re doing it and it’s your new normal. Love your videos .
oh my god you are an inspiration! so resilient! the fact that you're so positive in the face of these challenges says so much. Your toddler has a great parent :)
I love your videos. You're down to earth and honest. ❤
Always love your videos! Love your honesty and Grandpa tanned legs! :)
I also went to a concert this week because a friend spontaneously invited me and I didn't know how much I needed to just get out until that day!! It's good to get out there out of one's comfort zone and routine once in a while :) great video as always 🥰
YES! What concert??
The thing I did the challenge myself was, now don't laugh, I got myself up out of bed and mowed my back yard! I guess I should add that I'm , terminally ill so all I do is lay in bed.🤔 I don't know why I thought I should put don't laugh but it made me laugh for some reason I think I failed this challenge which is even funnier😂. I'm so bad at this.
Love this video as always!! I made the biggest change of my life, this month. I moved to New York City this last weekend!! Finally. I found a room on Craigslist in Brooklyn with 2 roommates, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been a dream of mine since high school, and after turning 27, having a quarter life crisis, and lots of therapy, I’m here. Excited for this journey and what the pages in this next chapter will hold, and you and your channel have been a big inspiration in that 😌 just want to say thank you for your honest and authentic content, it’s incredibly helpful and inspiring and literally makes me feel more comfortable in my videos to show up as I am. I’m excited to keep seeing how your journey unfolds as well! Fingers crossed for that direct beam of sunlight 🤞🏻
I love watching your life in New York City. I admire you for living your own life, you are a very brave lady. I’m way to chicken to live alone. Of course I’m much older than you and married with a grown daughter but still I’m a chicken lol
T.J. Reed is amazing. Which other two books did you read of her? It's so impressive how the main character have these strong personalities and behave so different than other characters in other books from different authors would. Can't describe it better :D Carrie Soto is still my fav.
Last time I challenged myself? A long time ago. Have been in a serious funk. As I’m sitting here eating a bowl of pasta watching you, made me remember to be grateful for having a space of my own. Can’t waste away depressed when so much beauty around us. As always, thank you for the true realness of a single gal. And thanks to you, you turned me into Trader Joe’s cherry juice. I mix it with sparkling water and tastes like a healthy soda.
Love the new space.. but probably like me, it will go back eventually 😂. So good to see you back🎉. BTW, where is your comforter from?
I challenged myself a couple of weeks ago to go out on a walk. I'm on permanent disability for OCD, and leaving my flat even to take out trash is a project, I heavily rely on ordering everything at my door, etc. It was nice weather and I missed being in the woods so I walked out. Was rewarding 🙂
I love that you did that!! that's amazing :)
