    I feel like you’re in TO because you need to be. You said you left LA in a “state of desperation” and “expecting to be back wishing 3 weeks” but you’re not. I think that means you truly know what you need and where you need to be. Also nothing is permanent if you don’t want it to be. Homes can be sold and lives can be altered. Best friends are always going to be there, and if they’re not, they’re not your friends.
    I personally think you are exactly where you need to be. Sell the home in LA, be done with all that shit and start over in TO. You can always get an apt in LA in a few months to visit your friends every few months when the world is back to normal!
    Wishing you all the best b!

You are so blessed and fortunate to have your amazing parents and family to lean on for support to help you navigate these life decisions. They only have your best interest in mind. That is clearly obvious. Embrace them and their support. Wishing u continued success. There are no wrong choices just new ones which can be permanent or temporary.

    As a mom of adult children I see how ecstatic your parents are to have you home. Their happiness exudes through the camera. COVID-19 has made a lot of people reconsider their lives. Being closer to family is now a priority. I wish to be home in Australia with my family but my children are rooted here in the USA. It makes me cry knowing my mother is aging and needs me. Do what makes your heart happy. Do not make a decision based on how others feel. Your best friend will always be your best friend no matter where you live. I think everyone on here can attest to your desire to be home. Don’t feel guilty, put yourself first.
    *BTW, your Dad is HOT! Lol. Sorry I know that’s gross!! ( your momma is beautiful too!! They are so happy you are home)

    Tara, I admire you so much. I’m so proud of everything you’ve done. Going to LA at 19 pushed you to do so many amazing things. You made great friends, lost friends, learned to navigate a different city, learned more about yourself, etc. I’ve seen you turn into this person that puts so much passion, so much love, and so much creativity into everything you do. This decision is hard but please let your heart guide you.
    If it’s meant to be, it will be. ❤️ don’t put too much pressure on yourself, everything will be okay.

    Oh girlfriend I just want to crawl through the screen and give you a giant bear hug! Not being physically close to your best friend is SO so hard! I'm only a 3 hour drive away from my bestie, and it SUCKS. But one thing that has become normal with covid: video calls and amazon! Definitely isn't the same as hanging out in person, but it's a great compromise. Be gentle with yourself, these decisions are yours, and yours alone. It's good to release that stress with crying (frequent crier here lol), your body actually relaxes more after a good cry session.
    The balcony is adorable! I've told myself I'd have coffee/tea on mine since I decorated, but I totally haven't lol.

    First, LOVE the new Balcony deco! So cuuute!!! 🥳
    Second, that's so sweet! A true best friend will always be there for you, even if you're miles apart, you'll always be close at heart! And with technology, you can always keep each other updated, and you never know what the future holds! You might live near each other again!!! Never lose hope🤩 It's happened to me and my best friends, I moved to Canada too and my family is not here, I miss them and my friends so much! But I know that I'll be able to be with them again one day😊 I am also very attached to all of them, so it hurts a lot, but we work on it to make it work until we can be with each other again.
    Third, big decisions are always very hard to make. They're life-changing, and it's ok to not be certain. We are not the masters of this world. Things happen whether we like it or not! You can't always know how things will turn out! Even the people who claim they know so much and are in control of everything, are just not.
    "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." - Matthew 6:34
    Take each thing slowly, step by step, and don't worry about tomorrow! Tomorrow will take care of itself.
    In the meantime, you do what you have to do so that you can be ready when things seem clear to you.
    But don't lose your peace and inner joy, it's not worth it. A couple months ago, I went through the same feelings. I had to make a hard decision about my career, and I felt that I knew what I should do but at the same time I was scared that it wasn't the right move.
    Thank God, it turned out to be the right thing. Have faith in Jesus, it's Christmas time woohoo!!!!🤩
    Dear Tara, God always fills your heart with joy and blessings! Enjoy every moment in your life, and count on God, give him all your worries, and he will always help you, just open your heart to him😊
    Please know that I don't mean to bother with this really long paragraph oops sorry haha, it is truly how I feel💕 It's just a comment, but I'm trying to help in the way I know best I guess!
    You're so sweet, keep up the good work, and have a wonderful Christmas time! 🥳🥳🥳🥰
    And just in case, here's a couple extra nice verses that would hopefully make your heart feel better!
    Matthew 6:27
    Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
    John 14:27
    Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

    Awww. It’s ok for you to cry. You are making a huge decision and you don’t want to make it since it may mean that you have to lose your best friend. But you will never lose Jill since friends will always stay together no matter how far away you guys are from each other.
    Ps. Love the video it was so good. I love how you decorated your balcony. ❤️❤️

    Tara, moving to TO will never take your best friend away. It just means that the times you have together is even MORE special. Jilly would always want the best for you forever and always and when the world can travel again, she will only be a short flight away. Being close to your parents is going to be important because as sad as it is, they wont be around forever and having them near is important to keep your heart full. Jilly will be a phone call away whenever you need her. She is an amazing friend and you know she would want you to make a decision that will make you overall the happiest.

    Tara, I am so glad you are talking about this decision to move permanently closer to your family. I think a lot of people are questioning this right now. I think you should live where you get that this is home feeling. Whether it's at home in Toronto or if it's elsewhere. I myself have been questioning where I want to move. Currently, I am in grad school in a different state than my family and I really miss spending time with them but at the same time, I like having my freedom. Watching you reconnect with your family and be close to them but still have that independence is making me think that after grad school I could do the same and it's really exciting! I hope you figure out some answers on what is right for you!

    AHH! It looks soo freaking adorable. The lights are PERFECT! I love how supportive your dad is. It was so funny when you would say how cute it was and he would be like... YEAH IT IS SO CUTE! Also about your decision, Jill will be your best friend no matter where you go. No matter the distance. I live in Alaska but grew up and when to college on the East Coast. My very best friend is in New Jersey. I feel your pain love. It hurts A LOT at first but it slowly gets easier. I've been gone for 4 years and my best friend is still my best friend. Our friendship is just as strong.

    It's been four years (!!) since I moved away from LA and I went through ALL the emotions in making that decision. It's so hard to leave your friends that become your family (especially when you're so far from home). Life takes us on a journey and you're leaning into that! It's terrifying and thrilling and I think we're all excited to watch you take your next steps!

    First off, while watching your video I thought to myself man when my kids are grown this is what I hope our relationship is like! Secondly love the lights, going to look for some. And lastly, moving away from friends is challenging but in an odd way makes your bond even stronger, and the times together even sweeter.

    💓Seeing Tara cry is the worst part of my day. (Crying is a good thing btw!!! I just get sad to see the tears; but releasing it rather than holding in is the best decision) You have no idea how much you have inspired me, I have written a long comment on your last vlog on what I feel through the screen, the energy that the fans can feel is amazing trust me. We have this sort of connection with you almost. At least I know exactly how you feel. Love you so much Tara, my comment probably got lost in the other vlog and maybe in this one but if you’re reading this: fate will decide it for you and already has, always has. Everything happens for a reason. You feel this way because I think Canada truly is for you. You can always go back to La. But it is Canada for now. You are blessed with parents there etc. Lysm and also I think you should buy a house in Canada and rent your La house and if that’s still out of the budget sell it. Living besides the witch for the rest of some years, noo🥺 You are so happy in Canada, at this moment you are not because you feel overwhelmed and are still in an apartment I know!! Also a question: Have you considered trying to live in a house in Canada before buying (Idk if thats possible but if so that would be great) or.. just visualize!!!! Manifest what you want!!! Spirituality! It will give you answers! The energy you put out in the universe will come back. If you focus on Idk what to do, im confused, I dont want to take the wrong step or I am overwhelmed it will come back, because your focus will be on the confusion, overwhelm, wrong step etc. But that’s okay! It’s not gonna happen because you mostly put out the good energy trust me. Focus on: I want answers, I want to take the RIGHT step. What is the best decision for me? I am at peace but I want to know my dream place. It will give you a sign, your answers. Also read a spiritual or self help book. Books are more effective because you truly get to reflect. That spiritual course was also a powerful move, it will give you the answers subconsciously soon/ maybe already has cause this vlog was filmed earlier! Luvvv that balcony&Lysm girl💕🧿✨

It’s very emotional to see your friends go so far away. I’m in the exact spot that I guess Jill is for you! Many of my friends moved away for their careers etc. BUT it is totally possible to keep friends close from far away
