- You know me, I'm never one to glamorize the NYC lifestyle. This week was rough for me as I'm feeling I'm going through a bit of burnout on all levels. As always we have a bunch of fun though, it's not all depressing :) But in this video I dig deeper into me trying to make my situation better living in new york city. If you're going through something similar my heart goes out to you! Sending good vibes your way. Thank you for watching!!

hi friends :) if it's not obvious from this video, I definitely need a break. if you're watching this in real time, I'll be taking a week or two off to handle my mental health and come back with allll the good NYC spring content 😍thanks for being here xx
Edit: whatever was happening to my eye is all gone now haha so weird
Take some time Chelsea 🌱~ we’ll all be here for your next video! 🙌 🥰
Btw probably had a stye if it in /around your eye (not a pimple). Hope you get the rest you need.
Drug stores have otc sty medication, it works in a day or two.
Enjoy your time! We will be here whenever you come back. Taking care of yourself is prority #1!
If it ever happens again, I highly recommend a warm compress. Heat a clean wash cloth with hot water and make sure it’s not too hot before pressing against the eye. Do this every two hours until you notice pain subside. Usually for one day. By next day it’s gone. It works so well.
I miss quarantine too. Life was slower- we cooked and went for walks outside. Also as an introvert people couldn’t invite me to social events. Honestly it was the best I felt in my whole life and I was the healthiest both physically and mentally.
maybe for you - many people got fired or otherwise not able to work. This caused great damage to their finances. If you come from a poor family who experienced this, you will never say what you just said.
Glad I'm not the only one
@@semaph0re people are allowed to have different experiences and different opinions. That’s what makes life more interesting. The person commenting enjoyed quarantine. Others maybe did not., for various reasons. Neither are wrong, and neither are not entitled to their own opinions. The original poster is allowed to have enjoyed quarantine and allowed to have commented that they did.
@@Jessica-dd8xo quarantine was undemocratic, illegal and I will (gladly) point that out to anyone in favor of those draconian mandates. Enjoying/missing those times is hugely distasteful, considering how many were impacted, and mostly displays ignorance, arrogance.
@@semaph0re um no. People are allowed to enjoy what they want. I also enjoyed quarantine and am not remotely ashamed to say so. Just because some people were impacted negatively, doesn’t mean it was the case for everyone. So if it’s not something you relate to, move on. You’re preaching to the wrong crowd, clearly.
I feel many of us found you randomly in these past few weeks. I hope your channel grows so much that you can get sponsors and youtube monies! I center myself with yoga and solving jigsaw puzzles. However, nothing kills the zombie in me except for quitting my job and trying self-employment. But the latter brings many new fears that eventually come true. Or not. I don't think this world is going right for us, the little people. Maybe if we keep connecting some day we will be able to point our fingers at it and change it. Until then, baby steps and little joys - like videos from stranger to stranger :) happy to have found you
looooove your perspective. baby steps and little joys for sure :)
I feel like whatever you're saying is resonating with me.
Chelsey! The authenticity! The relatability!!!!! I’m so glad the TH-cam gods led me to your channel! Also Julie was a vibe. And your eye. Place a chamomile tea bag on it my mother would put that on my eye when I had eye inflammation.
As a fellow member of the “my job is taking every speck of my energy” club, you are 100% right that community is ESSENTIAL. Having a group of people (in-person, online, both) that GETS you and loves you and not inky let’s you be authentic but WANTS you to be authentic and honest and real is so important.
Also, that pasta dish at the end your video looks amazing!
Take as much time as you need for yourself, we’ll all be here with open arms when you get back ❤️❤️❤️
Bullseye! and thank you :) just for a couple weeks!
Randomly clicked on one of your videos today and somehow just found myself almost two hours later still watching. I'm not moving to NYC or anything like that, but love the true, genuine, real life that comes through in each of your videos. So honest and "normal" that I can relate on so many levels. Life is hard and beautiful and full of ups and downs. Its refreshing to see that so many of us go through the same experiences and struggles and that we're not alone at all 💪
wow thank you. I definitely agree that it feels like we're all in this together
Yes I agree with you and find these videos quite endearing to know that so many of us are living the same little life 😅! I’m in the north east of England and it’s crazy how much I can relate to someone living in NYC! Agree, love the genuine nature of Chelsea’s channel! If Chelsea reads this I hope the break serves you well and you can get back on track, I think your videos help more people than you know! 💜
I don’t plan on living in NYC but I’m addicted to these vlogs! It’s refreshing to see such REALISTIC content ❤
💓thanks for watching!
Omg this is exactly what I needed. Watching someone live an ordinary life while I live my ordinary life. I just went through a breakup and as a late twenty something living with my mom, single, I can’t stand watching people living these super unattainable lives. I just want to watch normal people. 😭
Watching this I couldn't help but chuckle about myself. I used to think the anxiety, exhaustion and disconnect I've felt about everything when I grew up was so unique and therefore mirroring some greek tragedy. When you're in that mindset, that everything somehow is meant to be hard and terrible for you and somehow maybe predestined to never turn good and happy, it can suddenly become frightenedly tempting to let go and unconsciously fulfill that premise for yourself. It's always something to be grateful about when strangers admit that they're struggling too sometimes. It makes that fight feel a little bit less solitary and a lot more communal. So please tend to yourself and take your time. Because that's what we're doing all the time too without having a camera pointed at us. We'll huddle together when you come back.
I feel this!! I hope things are going well for ya! I’ll be back in a couple weeks, just a short break :)
I have recently found your channel on TH-cam and I have been binge watching. I love your authenticity and the raw glimpse into real life in a big city. I look forward to seeing what your next post has in store.
So glad you found me :) thanks for watching
Just found this channel and it makes me feel so much better. I feel less guilty about my own life, seeing that living like that is absolutely okay
💘💘💘
Wow! Now your channel is really growing! So happy you deserve it. Your channel brings so much joy to us!
❤️❤️❤️
You are awesome and as a therapist I thank you for being real and showing that sometiemes we feel like you and we can power through. I would recommend for you to try to find something spiritual that moves you, it doesnt has to be religious, but spiritual. It can be some sort of club or community and it really does help with mental health and frequenting the same people with the same interest will increase your dopamine levels.
Hi Chelsea, That "pimple" you have below the waterline sounds like a stye.
You can get it when the small glands near the eyelid (upper or lower) become blocked. See your dr. They can prescribe treatment.
Hi! Oooh thank you. Luckily it went away… hopefully it won’t come back
I agree probably sty, warm water compresses. No make up, make sure your eye make is clean. Stop touching. Good luck ❤
“It needs salt, but I don’t wanna get up.” I felt that on so many levels 😅
Hi Chelsey! Your video and this algorithm made its way across the world to South Korea where you're helping a 27 year old (me, duh) feel a little less lost in my own feelings. I too love my home and city - despite being so far from family, and I sometimes think that if we weren't asking ourselves these questions that make us question our existence or make us overwhelmed, we'd never grow. I center myself with music and walking my dog, seeing his joy in simply being outside and having me with him, helps ground me. I found these insane colouring books by Kerby Rosanes that my brain relax, too. Hope your next week goes better - you're doing great, living the life you've always wanted to build. I can't wait to see it grow.
❤️❤️❤️
Brooklyn content creator here! just randomly came across your channel! I Enjoy the realistic nyc vibes! Congrats on your success
Everything you said in this video is exactly how I feel living in NYC. Quarantine and all!
A dishwasher is without a doubt something you can't go without once you have had one!
I found your channel through the YT algorithm and I'm so glad that it suggested your channel! I really really love how candid you are in the videos of when you're struggling and things are tough.
I really can relate to your quarantine experience, even though I was living with family just like having it so quiet and eerie it just calmed my mind so much. Thank you for such great content and congrats on finishing the marathon!
I am so glad I found you videos!! I have been searching so desperately for relatable videos
You are an amazing storyteller!
I'm watching your videos all the way from Australia, where I live in a small coastal town... Our lives couldn't be more different, and yet I feel like I'm sitting here catching up with a friend. Your ability to show your humanity and share your vulnerability - with awesome humour peppered throughout - is so powerful.
Enjoy your break, giving your mental health some TLC and I can't wait to see how you feel after recuperating a little ❤
I haven't seen this specific video yet but have seen other videos of yours Chelsea.
As a 33 year old man who has just moved to Sydney and living solo, I can relate to a lot of the mental, personal, and emotional triumphs and struggles you are going through and showing the whole world through your videos.
The winter months are especially harsh for the mind and working from home is both a plus and a minus.
I can especially relate to the sentiment of not finding fulfilment in one's job while not hating it completely, but needing it as a means to survive and fund your personal hobbies and growth pursuits.
Just keep moving and progressing little by little is all we can try to do.
As a fellow single, redheaded virgo 30 something year old, that lives in Alaska ( in 1 of the few beachside towns thank god ), I'm happy TH-cam recommended this vlog, very wholesome.
Keep on keeping on, your awesome, & bumps & such that happens around the eyes are signs of tiredness/ stressed out.
Have a good one
just moved into my own place for the first time in queens (we're basically neighbors) and randomly your channel came up. it's been such a comfort -- appreciate you making these!
Curious...what is the average rent for a one bedroom in NYC? Do you feel safe there generally? Thanks!
You're a great story teller and I love your videos. you've also inspired me to start cooking again. I love how more often than not, you scrape yourself off the couch and cook something. After a long day I like to lay on the floor and do some somatic exercise or stretching. Something gentle on my body and little to no effort for my brain.
I randomly found you and you’re so great and such a normal human being and that’s the biggest compliment because I forget I’m a normal human too. We all do what we can and our best. Hang in there. Thank you for creating content that I can relate to.
Also. I’m proud of you too!
Omg I love your videos! You are most definitely not alone❤❤
We're on 100% same vibe when you said "It's new york or nowhere". I don't know how I ended up in your channel but everything that you're doing is so relatable. That's a real new yorker for you!
Omg the expired mac and cheese part 🤣, I’m a new subscriber but i like the little funny moments your vids have & how realistic they are
Fellow fifty something virgo here-I’m definitely one who has to go for a walk, move to get the horrible-days wiggles out. Do not let perfection be the enemy of progress. Proud of you for cleaning your dishes any day, all day!
I'm so glad the algorithm recommended you to me. I'm sitting alone on my couch in my 1 bedroom appartment in another big city across the ocean from you, yet you made me feel less alone. Thank you!
After "accidentally" watching someone's travel vlogs (you know how YT do), and seeing their amazing travels, your video was recommended and I realized I needed a refreshing and grounded dose of reality! Seeing someone else's "boring" NYC life was a welcome change and actually made me appreciate my mundanity a bit. (although your TJ's haul was more interesting than mine - it's usually vegetables, chicken and frozen shumai) And for the record, if you're going to commit to a good ol' box of Kraft M&C, there's no point in ruining it with vegetables - just eat a big salad the next day. 😋 But I enjoyed this video and just subbed, so looking forward to more! (and good luck with the mental break!)
Music and exercise resets me, especially when my day sucked.
love that
I stumbled across your channel recently and I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m 23, going to grad school, and living in Oklahoma City, but I find your content so comforting. Thank you for adding some joy into my everyday life!!
Crikey! Ok first off your Trader Joe’s haul was the best, just throwing shit up there! 👏🏼
Another great vlog that I feel connected to so thank you! I remember during quarantine I loved the silence, the slow down, not hearing traffic just peace and I didn’t want it to all go back to chaos. I work an exhausting corporate job that I love but it’s still hard some days. Going for walks and taking yoga classes are what gets me through and even tho I’m around people in my yoga class I just don’t talk but it helps to not be isolated. And sometimes I just cry doing yoga because life is a lot. ❤
I am so happy I fell upon your channel. I love vlogs but most are so fake "day in my life" and everything is perfect and planned. I'm 40. My apartment is lived in and I get take out a lot. Thats what I want to see. So thank you, and I will continue to binge your channel.
I love your content. I love that it is real and not all fake and aesthetic and boring. Living the single NYC life vicariously through you is incredibly helpful. Please take care of yourself and know that you are appreciated.
thanks for the support Theresa :)
Hey! Hope you are enjoying your break. I dunno if this will help you or anyone else, but I thought I’d throw together a few strategies that work for me, managing those bad mental health patches.
1. Buy those pre packed, ‘steam in a bag’ veges that take 5 minutes in the microwave. I don’t feel bad about food going off and frozen is better than no vegetables.
2. I have to take a train to work, so I park near the station, that means I have to do a 10 min walk at the start and finish of each day.
3. The really bad days at work, I go sit in the bathroom, close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then have a glass of water and get back in there.
Damn 😮super refreshing perspective as a former dude who has lived in Manhattan. Im a fellow virgo with thyroid issues , look forward to watching more of your videos. Get the vibe that your genuinely trying to keep it real. Rad work 🤙🏼keep going.
Your videos speak to my heart. Grateful for you ❤
Hi! Love your channel. I’m a Virgo living alone in NYC and I relate x100 to this. Love the realness of the NYC living which you capture perfectly!
Music and running is fantastic after a hard day at work. Calms me down so much!
hi chelsea i found your channel bc im planning a trip to new york this year! im so happy i found you! I've been binge watching your videos. Please take the time you need off to recover until you feel better. rooting for you!!
Thanks Michelle! So exciting you’re coming to visit 💕
Loved the lens cleaning :') I laughed out loud at "POV, I'm your disappointed mom cleaning shit off your face"
The flight or flight at the email notification sound is so real
hahah you understand
Love your vlogs and how genuine you are. I stopped following a few TH-camrs recently as they are trying to only show a perfect life not real life.
Never change yourself for TH-cam. Love you the way you are x
Watching this a few weeks after you made it, but day in the life videos are my fave 😎 Keep it up.
Sending so much love precious Chelsea. THank you for reminding me of the passion I used to have in my home town. …. Who knows maybe I’ll move back someday.
Hi Chelsea. Just want to add to all the love you’re getting for your very authentic vlogs. I stumbled upon one of your recent videos while researching NYC apartments and city life and now I’m a fan. I have a job interview in Manhattan this week and while the possibility of moving from the West Coast feels overwhelming, your videos have made it feel more real. Thank you. Take care of yourself and know we are rooting for you!
thank you! good luck on your interview!!
Hey, im new here :) came through your recent running video - you have a lovely authentic vibe about you - keep grinding at the youtube content - i think you're doing a great job. It all felt super relatable. Excited for more videos
these videos are just the best 🥹
Randomly found your channel & gotta say I love your realistic take on life. Life isn't perfect, it's messy & we make mistakes but we still gotta carry on & keep going. Enjoy your break & come back when you're ready!!
I found your channel recently and I’m so glad I did 🤍 I’m in my mid-20s living in London for the last 6 years, changed career path after training as a musical theatre actor and so much of your life and stories resonate with me so deeply. thank you for an honest insight, so happy to see your channel getting the recognition it deserves 🫶🏼x
Chelsea, thank you for always being so honest and transparent!
Grounding…I put my feet in grass, or sand. Or I hold ice/cold pack. Or a shower. Music helps too!
your videos give me so much peace and make me feel less alone in like, the mental state and the worldview,,,, thanks a lot!!! hope your break goes well!!
💓💓💓
I love this realistic real reality. I quite often feel that I cannot relate at all to so many creators. I feel I can relate, even though I am not in NY, I am not even in the US. I am a single mom doing my thing, but it is still so relatable.
Hi Chelsea, I really love watching your videos. Everything you show is just so authentic I can feel it so much. Please keep on doing your videos, I hope your channel will grow fast
I like the song you showed around 11:24, such a bop. Great video, btw!
Haven’t been to NY since 2014. Appreciate you sharing. I usually take deep breaths and go for a walk / pray when I get stressed.
Just binged all your vlogs ✌I religiously watch DITL vids... and you are honestly my new fave!! Repeating other comments but to reiterate, your authenticityyy, down-to-earth vibes... Helps myself (and I'm sure many others, reading the other comments) ground ourselves when we watch your vids, realizing not to put so much pressure on ourselves and watch a real video of a real person struggling like the rest of us. You have found yourself a new fan and subscriber!!! Can't waaaait for more vids, and hopefully another live stream!!
I recently had one of your videos recommended to me and I am super glad for it! I'm so tired of these hyper-aesthetic vlogs (although I appreciate all the work that goes into it) but I just want something I can relate to lol. Honestly, you're one of the few vloggers I can actually keep on watching
I loved lockdown, when the world was falling apart and we thought we were going to die it was this great sort of levelling for all the non anxious people to finally understand what it is like to have any kind a anxiety :-)
I’m a 27 year old living in a small town in Norway, but I can relate SO much to almost all of your content.
When I’m done with the day and need to reset to relax, I put on some sort of vibey music (something happy at least) and clean the apartment first. Then I make something really easy for dinner/snacks/lunch, but it has to be something between easy and healthy. If I cave in to my cravings and eat pizza, I’ll beat myself up for it mentally later. I make a cup of warm coffee or tea and scroll youtube or a feel good tv show rerun until I’m tired, then do my night time routine and go to sleep.
Lately I’ve been watching your videoes alot! I love how authentic you seem, your humor and everything! You also remind me alot of my best friend born in 1988💕
❤️ your night routine sounds so lovely. it's definitely hard to resist the pizza! hehe
Hi! I just recently found your channel and I am so glad it popped out on my main page. I am hooked by your vlogs, it feels so relatable - I love it. Finally found someone who is in my age, and is not a spoiled little diva with milions of pr packages. Lots of love xx
so glad you found me! no shade to other creators at all, maybe one day i'll also have lots of PR!! haha
Just found your channel today and after seeing your videos feel like I’m watching a kindred spirit ☺️ I’m your age, doing a similar thing but in LA and when you said “my love for this city trumps everything else” I teared up bc a lot of people don’t get that. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼💙
“It needs salt, but I don’t wanna get up” -literally all of us ❤
Hi Chelsea! I just wanted to say your videos bring a smile to my face. Not to say that your struggles are in any way amusing, but in that you seem to make light of every situation you find yourself in. You just seem to be such a great, authentic person. I hope you never lose that and I hope things get better for you! You’re killing it and you make this girl from LA feel a little less alone too 😊
thank you so much
I love that you post the realness and truth! Sometimes it’s just truly hard being an adult! My go to decompress methods are music, working out or just being sitting in silence. Sometimes I just need to be for a moment! I also do love to go out on my back patio and do some deep breathing, fresh air is always helpful!
nothing beats sitting in silence!! Love it. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I hope you enjoy your break! I also struggle with being productive even when I know I should definitely rest. I just hate being still and not doing stuff lol but it's detrimental in the long term.
Also you're hilarious- I laughed out loud through most of this video lol
Hello from Australia ❤ I just found your Chanel, very excited about your videos!! ❤❤❤
You are so hilarious in the best possible way... Thank you for your honesty and you're so not alone... And you sharing like this helps me feel not alone.... Hi from Auckland New Zealand!
haha thanks!
It’s a head on collision when you realize you make almost zero difference. I hope you find your space and find relationships that matter. ❤
I've always loved NYC and been curious about living there, so thank you for letting us into your life.
I'm happy you're having your New York experience but please take care of your health!! I loved living and growing up in NYC, as a native New Yorker. Especially in my 20's and 30's but as I grew older I knew it was time to go. I always think of moving back (always) but I watch videos and I see my city, I don't know the direction it's going, sad. Maybe one day I'll return but for now I'll keep watching TH-cam videos and reminisce on the "Good Times" and I hope my beautiful city recovers one day.
Absolutely love your channel so much and I love seeing it grow too!! You deserve it! I’m so done with aesthetically pleasing videos where ‘life is perfect’. You make like seem perfect in the right way!
I love this video and thank you so much for your honest and authentic videos. Also I find it really calming to see another woman in her thirtees living alone in her apartment. With this lifestyle struggles come but also great opportunities. Now I am working parttime, focusing on my hobbies and communitywork. Sometimes its challenging, because I have to live frugal. But the time I have left for me ist just so precious. It was a very long way to live my life like I do these days.
i miss the isolation too,it was like the world stopped spinning for a long moment...it felt good. so relatable
Thanks for continuing to share yourself with us. I’ve been following for probably two years or so now and watching you grow in comfort with us and your confidence in editing is so lovely to see. I’m here for all of you because your authenticity is what grabbed me and what will keep me coming back every time.
you're a real one! I remember you commented on my apartment tour video two years ago and we talked about tupperware 😂🥹 thanks for the support always
@@ChelseaCallahan wow! Look at the big memory on Chelsea!!! 🤯
Hats off to you living in NYC, I won't even last for a week if I was there. Your really a true person. Keep up the hardwork.
Hey Chelsea, My name is Diana and I just recently started watching your channel. I so appreciate your work invested in making these videos. You’re very much relatable and I also feel inspired by the content you create. Hope you have a good couple of weeks! Take care. 😊
thank you!!
I just found your channel - not sure why it was suggested...But I loved the look into your "average" life. NYC is so glamorized and its so nice to see what a more realistic portrayal is. Life is so hard. I can't imagine trying to survive in NYC. Props. Thanks for sharing!
Appears to be a stye. Apply a warm tea bag as a compress. Make sure to squeeze it out first.
Omg this is the first video I watch of yours and I am sold! You are the realest person on YT right now I looooove it ♥️. You also just explained EVERYTHING I am currently feeling, with work, social life, mental health, home life, argh. I love your content and you just got yourself a subscriber 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice video, I think you had a 'stye' on your eye, an often stress related thing. Which goes with what I was going to say next - you are stressed babe, glad you're taking a break. Try and remember that crying is a good thing to do, and you probably need that right now. Not sure what is driving you but you need to understand it better - it is not driving you toward the satisfaction you need or crave in life. Good luck and I'm sure things will end up going better for you.
TH-cam suggested your vlog and I subscribed and really like it! I’ve never been to New York and enjoy doing a vlog myself- I’m from near Nashville. Im 60 and have my own but it’s fun watching people vlog from all ages. Working has always hampered my creativity and hobbies. It’s harder when you have kids and parents to care for. So enjoy the time! I’ll be back to watch the next one!
Hi chalsy
I feel so happy wachting the new video
I felt so indentify with you becouse its one year since i decided to move to new york.
Recently i woke up with a huge pimple than never i had before some people told me that it a reaccion to be under stress so i took off one week from my job all that mantained me strapped to be reallly disconeted in it works i felt more motivated that encourage to read books learn news things
I've been watching you for a couple months cuz I am thinking about finally moving to NYC. After a bad interview *this morning* I was considering completely giving up on the idea even though I've wanted to move to NY since I was in high school. Seeing this video made me feel better, honestly, because you just truly do not give up.
Sending love 💕 you got this!
Awww that is real NY of you. Malta is straight up NYC in a bottle …. And also Caribbean 😅
For me as a muslim, after i had long rough day bad day.. 1-2 hours for prayers and prayers in middle of nigh(solat n doa) keep myself sane.. i cant do any other way but that… my needs for my mental health, God.
Ps love watching ur videos the way u talk etc etc… hehehe so realistic something i can relate..
Hi Chelsey. I found your channel few days ago and I watched all your previous videos. Thank you for filming your life and be so relatable and honest. When I feel burned out I crochet or read a book, go for walks and talk to my friends.
Thank you Chelsey, you are the best ❤
Oooh crochet! Love it ❤️ thanks for watching!
i just found your channel and i've never related to someone more. finally a vlogger who is around my age, single, in nyc, and maybe doesn't fully have her shit together but is doing her best. also the part about your mental health maybe being a struggle but nyc is your home and it's new york or nowhere.....damn felt that. definitely just subscribed and excited to watch your content in the future!
Hi I was recommended your channel by TH-cam and I'm glad it did! Love your content, its relaxing for me. Subscribed!
hey thanks!! welcome :)
I rarely follow recommendations of videos because I like to keep my viewing slim on here but I am very happy to have been recommended your channel. I’ve watched two videos of yours so far and I am in love. I love the commentary. Also, I think the great thing about you having already been doing this for six years is the experience you gained.
thanks for taking a chance on my channel :)
Always SO relatable girl!! 🙌😁
Everything that you are saying, everything that you are doing, it is so relatable, it feels like we are very similar people which makes me feel so seen and understood and not lonely in the identical lives we live, with the main difference that I am in Europe and you.. well you live in NYC. Oh, and I love cooking. :) But yeah, I am now a loyal subscriber
Malta with evaporated milk is the elixir of the gods.
I miss quarantine too. 😢
I used to get styes ALL the time. Feel free to disregard the rest of my comment in case you’re not interested in unsolicited advice :) love your channel!
What helped me a lot with styes was warm compresses multiple times a day (just a warm wet washcloth) as well as reeeeally resisting the urge to rub it. Hope that helps!
I kinda understand how you feel about having that period of freedom during quarantine. That time made me realize that I’m definitely expending too much time and energy on my day job, which I’m also thankful to have but wish I didn’t have to have. If that makes sense. 😅 And I also get it re: the dishwasher. My current apartment has the first dishwasher I’ve had since I lived at home with my parents, and I am loving it. I never had one in all my years living in NYC and now I don’t know how I managed without one. 😭😭😭
The part where you are cleaning the lens made me laugh out loud. And as for reset/Revivifying after a rough day at work, the act of cleaning ( usually the kitchen because it always needs a bit of clean up) makes me feel like I have that bit of control I crave and it’s sort of meditative ( sometimes I have a show I’ve seen before on in the background but not always). And recently, reading has been relaxing.
