@David B. III I understand completely David. And the irony since my post and now your reply is for the 2nd time in 4 years, I have been blindsided by a corporate sell off where everyone including myself will no longer have a job. Hmmm, possibly the universe trying to tell me to finally go find that peace we both want? David, be strong, minimize and go after that life you desire. Abandon fear and don't worry about what you're leaving behind or what the world vigorously demands you need in life. You don't need 90% of it. Go find your peace and I truly hope it brings you back to authentic happiness 😊
David B. III yah, but I bet most of these people here don’t like our President, yet the Leftists DemonRats are the one letting your towns and cities burn. Ironic how that works, you elect a POS Governor, mayor, and they throw citizens under the bus for the sake of politics , and our President get criticized and all he wants to do is keep the American dream alive, so you can at some point go out and have that happy place in the Forrest, the Leftists let the Forrest burn and extinguish your dreams, then blame it on our President, shameful, I’m glad you understand
You're definitely not the only one. I've felt this way for such a long time. Your story videos really open my eyes!! I want to be a better person, I want to love more, travel, spend time with nature and family more. I'm sure there's other people who feel the same way and or haven't realized it yet. Everyone has a life purpose
....the downside of this new way and once one became famous on yout. or so is, that you still can exchange thoughts with your idols, but usually not a real exchange on mutual basis....;-( ....there is even a risk of kind of addiction, as basic human needs are only partially fulfilled through this...
You're not alone with those feelings. I spent a month walking across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago. For that month, all my belongings were contained in a backpack and my clothes' pockets. What you said about how not living with much makes you realize that happiness doesn't come from material items, but how happiness really comes from people, creating memories, and sharing emotions is absolutely true. I don't usually comment, but after hearing you say this, and because I lived it, I felt compelled to share. My experience on the Camino showed me many things. It showed me that connection is what matters most, that everyone and everything is connected. It showed me how important communication is. I think most problems can be traced back to a breakdown in communication. For reasons of my own introversion, I started the Camino on my own. But it wasn't long before the universe conspired and brought a group of us lone strangers together. It was a very dense month. We talked and walked together, ate and drank together, danced, sang, laughed, cried, brooded, gallivanted together. Every day was a chapter, an episode. Previous experience had taught me that exposing our vulnerability to the world would only result in hurt or damage. But on the contrary, here I found our vulnerability was instead rewarded with the forming of these beautiful unbreakable bonds. The Camino was showing me that I wasn't alone in my weirdness. That actually, I wasn't at all as weird as I thought. It was showing me that if we just give each other the chance, we find that we are so similar to each other. When all you're doing is walking for 8-hours a day, your life becomes very simple. There's a freedom to that, there's a freedom to simplicity. The Camino showed me that life can be so simple; that life is simple but that often we make it so complicated. I embarked on day 1 with a backpack full of stuff, every pocket had something in it. I was heavy. As days passed and the miles began to pile up, I began skeptically peeking inside my pack and questioning it. Like, what was the real value versus weight of these things. I hadn't yet even cracked open A Collection of Edgar Allen Poe's Short Stories and Poems, "Why carry this?" I thought to myself, "I'm living a story right now!" Too heavy so I donated it to the albergue I was staying the night at. This was the first domino to fall. The farther I walked, the less I carried. I was shedding weight. It turns out, when you actually get down to it, a lot of what you think is necessary, really isn't. By around halfway to Santiago, I had shed most of what I had started out with. I was light. There were a lot of special moments and experiences and characters on the Camino that I will one day, when inspiration hits, all get down on paper, but for the sake of this space and your time, for now, they'll remain in my brain. Suffice to say, the aggregate effect of these moments and experiences and people changed the way I was seeing the world, and the world I was seeing changed because of it. I felt light and I felt alive like I never had before. I'm not sure if I would call it an awakening or a glimpse into enlightenment, but I just felt like I was momentarily aligned with something divine. It was a feeling rather than a knowing. Things were suddenly falling into place. There was an effortless harmony to the moments. The world was starting to make sense. I was beginning to see how and why every moment led me to now, how it all fit together, how perfect it all is. I understood to trust in the way things are. I found meaning. And then I lost it. You are right, you can't buy this feeling. Like you said, it only graces you when you live how you should be living. Never in my life had I felt such inner peace and freedom, and alas, sadly, never since. I understand you when you said you felt like a zombie in your normal life, how working in city life seem to take all your inner energy out of you. For me, there was a honeymoon period when I first returned back to the US, where for a month or two I was still residually glowing from that immense light I had courted. But then slowly but surely, the friction of big city life began to grind those layers of light right back off of me, back down till it had all but left me with a few glittery specks here and there. But those glittery specks remain. And I'm extremely grateful for them. It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. My awareness has increased, what is possible has increased. Hope is among the most powerful of things. What makes me feel free is what the Camino showed me. It showed me that, usually, the answer comes with not adding but with subtracting. It showed me to keep an open mind, that this world and the people in it are not all bad, there is good out there. And it showed me that meaning is something you perpetually strive for, otherwise, we wouldn't be human. Thanks for the inspiration.
Lloyd Holiday she didn’t claim to be against technology you babbling boob of unintelligible thought! She said, “put technology down for a bit to be free” get over yourself you ass hat Nazi.
There's one thing I wish I could share with everyone who thinks that leaving the city and living in the wilderness will bring you happiness, because I did exactly that, and I still didn't find happiness. Matter of fact, nothing I've ever done brought me lasting contentment except for one thing: Jesus Christ. I used to think of Christians as a little misguided and narrow minded, but I began to seek God for who He really is, and He began to work in me. For many years, I sought God in buddhism, hinduism, new age...He showed me that they're all lies. The Bible actually warns us about the doctrines of man and the traditions of the world, warning us not to let ourselves be deceived by them. These are defined at the end of the verse as as any system that does not preach the gospel of Christ. That is, Christ crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins. I'm telling you guys, Jesus Christ is real, and He is Lord. The Bible says that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess He is Lord (paraphrase). Don't let yourself declare Him to be Lord only when it is too late. Repent, for His kingdom is coming. The day of judgement is coming. He has NEVER turned someone away who came to repentance. Even I, who grew up in a Christian home but loved the world and went my own way; when I came to the cross in earnest, and repented and asked forgiveness, He accepted me, just as the father accepted the prodigal son. The sufferings of the present moment are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who are in Christ Jesus. But I reckon as well that the joys of the present moment are nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits those who will continue to harden their hearts against The Lord. There are only two kingdoms in this world: The kingdom of darkness, and The Kingdom of God. You are for one or the other, there is no middle ground. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory at calvary, but it's up to you to believe. The Bible says, to paraphrase: repent of your sins (turn from them, ask forgiveness), and believe in Jesus Christ, and you SHALL be saved. Hallelujah! All praise be to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever!
@Lloyd Holiday - it’s a shame because it seems the only way you can live this sort of life is if you find some way to freelance or do TH-cam - which wouldn’t pay the bills without people over consuming technology. You tubers make money through ads and consumerism. No hate, but you can never really escape it because you either consume it or sell it to be free. Either way - not great.
I’m 44 and this resonates with me so deeply. You possess a truth that will set and keep you free, if you stay awake and vigilant to this pursuit of true life. Bless you for inspiring so many to wake up and come back to life.
Ugh. I just stumbled onto your page. I can't even make it through this video. I am in tears at how beautiful your life looks. I am so unhappy, and I know why; it is for all of the reasons you say. I can't seem to escape it. It is like you said in one of your later videos that I watched first--it feels like a circle. You do the things society tells you to do, thinking one day you'll be happy, but that day never comes, and the depression rolls in like a heavy fog. You're inspiring, and lovely, and your life looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I lost my job at the beginning of April and it has me reevaluating some things. I was never happy there. I tried so hard to fit in, do more than my best, and get along with some of the people, but nothing was good enough, and my kind heartedness was never reciprocated. I was never encouraged. I could go on and on, but the fact is, I was just unhappy. I feel like going back to work in a similar capacity is my only option, but you almost have me believing there's a different path I'm allowed to take. I hope I find it soon. I think I will walk barefoot in the garden tomorrow, build the trellises that need built, then pack an overnight bag for the trail and just disappear for a couple days. Thanks for the inspiration.
One day when I was hiking on my own and thinking about life I came up with this: Life… Life is about sadness, learning from it and how to cope with it. Life is about joy and happiness, learning from it and share it. Life is about emotions, learning from it and deal with it. Life is about making mistakes, learning from it and move on with better knowledge. Life is about making decisions, learning from it and becoming better at it. Life is about caring for others, learning from it and being a better human being. Life is about ups and downs, learning from it, adapt and overcome. Life is about believing in yourself, learning from it and evolve. Life is about taking a moment to contemplate your life, why you live, how you live and how you can improve it… Enjoy your life while you can…, preferably with someone you love. I agree with what you're saying and for most people it's very frightening to realize how they're living and change it for the better to find the real happiness.

You said what's in mind and my situation. The sad part is that I feel alone eventhough I'm surrounded with people. Real friendship and unconditional love is so hard to find in this lonely planet.
@@JonathanGillies not going to lie, you do sound just a little crazy! there are infinite things that can give life meaning that have absolutely nothing to do with religion
I feel exactly the same way. When I am living in the city, I feel stuck. I keep coming up with ideas on what would make me happier, but I always come back to the same empty feeling. I’ve reflected on the times when I feel free and I realized, it’s the times when I’m in nature, away from my phone, away from all of my material items, away from people who consume, away from fast food and junk food, away from all that. I am the most happy hiking, exploring mountains, walking through creeks, I am the most happy when I feel like I don’t need to shave my legs or wash my hair, when outside influence isn’t an issue. I feel stuck in this world of consumption, but there is also freedom in knowing that I am stuck. There is freedom in knowing why. There is freedom in knowing that I have the capacity to step away from all that makes me feel stuck.
I totally agree, understand and feel the same as you. I’m in that fase where I have been looking for people who feel the same too and that’s how I found your channel. I’m so grateful for finding it. I got to a point in my life where I just want to find out a way to do something I love to do, something with purpose, that I can make money with it, just enough to live. Unfortunately we are a minority and most of people don’t understand this feeling so we end up feeling alone in this world. I love the idea that you use your channel to get together people like us. Something I’ve been thinking about doing for too long now and still haven’t done. Glad you did. So I’ll stick around and hopefully someday we will be a big lovely community 🥰 haha Thank you Isabel 💚
Loneliness is not the something we should fear. It is something we should embrace. It is when we feel most alone we discover who we truly are. Devoid of all outside influence.
I am 41 and have always felt this way. You are truly inspiring. You have given me a new purpose watching your videos. You have helped me realize that I need to take advantage of this beautiful life. Carry on, you will love life more than most. You have more figured out at 21 than I do now. I felt stuck all these years and met my wife, who's personality is strangely very much like yours. I didn't quite understand her as well as I do now. She lived a similar 20s as you, but I lived it very differently, but always wished I could. You have also helped me understand my wife in a new way. It is such an odd thing to watch a video and have life altering. Thank you for sharing your life in this way. You positively effected my life.
This video made me cry...I am feeling this way and have been for a long time now. Trying to pay off debt, I am working towards being financially free and living in nature. Thank you, just confirms for me even more what I truly want. 💜 much love
I just found your channel recently and immediately came to the beginning of your videos to see what your inner and outer journeys have been like. I have to say, I'm so glad I did. Everything you share through these story vlogs really bring up parts of me that I have either suppressed, or refuse to acknowledge even though I know it's there. I know I have more to learn and grow from in this life, but all we have is Now, the present moment. Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and being so raw and real.
It is great that you are exploring these feelings and thoughts. You are building memories which will make you happy in your old ago. I am now 70 and these kinds of memories are the ones I remember. Growing up in the Puget Sound area helped a lot. It was much different 60 years ago. After being born in a refugee camp in Southern Germany, with the Knowing my homeland nolonger existed, the Puget Sound was paradise. I will follow your journey and maybe share a little of mine. From one generation to another you are moving in the right direction.
I wanted to add that I admire your courage and honesty. I wish that I had been true to myself and my real feelings at a much younger age. I never really put my own interests first. It seems like people were always making decisions in relationships based on their needs and wants, not mine. It was always what they thought I should be doing or where they wanted to be, rather than me deciding or even mattering. This was with parental, significant other, and spousal relationships. Now I'm divorced and on my own. My health is very compromised and I feel like the last 30+ years of my life was spent in the service of others. Then when I was alone I was living a fear and survival based life, always doubting my ability to even stay alive. You have a good sense of self and are always inquiring and appreciating. It is never easy but don't ever forget who you are, which may always be evolving in many senses. Remember that you matter. (Except if you reach the speed of light squared...then you energy! Just had to throw that in. Don't know who's quote that is, after Einstein, but it's cute.) Thank you!
You're not alone. I grew up in the mountains of very far northern Canada, surrounded by nature. No electricity, no electronics, growing our own food. I never knew how much it would put my whole existence out of sync until I moved to a big city. It's good knowing there's other people out there with similar mind sets :)
You are SO lucky to have figured this out so young. I’m almost 40 and I’m completely stuck. I got lost in conventional thought process of life. I knew deep down that none of it was for me. That’s why I couldn’t finish school. I could never stay at a job. I never got married. I’ve been depressed and anxious increasingly so year by year. To the point where I am numb now. I have no idea what makes me tick. What makes me happy. What I crave. I have no passion. I have built up a wall so high, I have no clue how to even start chipping away at it. You have created a beautiful life. Keep at it. You’ll have some curveballs but damn it if you don’t have the best outlook to handle it.
Every word you spoke resonated with my soul. The music, the mentality, the life, the feeling you clearly relayed described me and me inner desire. I literally thought I was alone in my thinking. I am trapped, stunted and alone in the technological societal graveyard. I yearn the be free.
It is rare to find someone that has discovered the key to happiness and figured out what they need in life versus what they want. I didn't figure it out until recently, and now it is practically too late. I amazed at you having the courage to follow your intuition and live life to the fullest, on your terms. Nothing wrong in living out of a back pack, carrying only what you need, or sleeping on the floor. By eating and staying fit and healthy, you should live a long life. Love your courage and strength young lady, and being able to share your life and openness. Thank you for posting this video.
Your thoughts are the exact same as mine. Because of this, I've been living off-grid in the Alaskan bush for five years. My setup cost me around $200K and all I have is a 20X30 cabin. Most of the cost was my power generation system. However, I have all the comforts of a home in the city. You'd never guess I was off-grid. Everything I own is paid for and my monthly bills are about $200 a month {cell, internet, truck insurance). It has been a very difficult journey, but well worth it.
I'm about to cry listening to this. I want nothing more than to move on from this busy town I'm in and just walk and look at moss. And collect mushrooms and forage. I'm so sad everyday and incredibly lonely. I try to fill my life with stuff like you were saying to try to make it better. I play a lot of farming type games to simulate what I really want. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to just move to the woods. My grandma has property in California that I'd love to live on but other family issues make that hard :( It gets so bad sometimes that I just don't even wanna be here anymore. I hate feeling like this. I randomly came across your videos yesterday and am backtracking and it's so wonderful to see how you've accomplished so much. It's hard not to feel jealous b/c that's not a good thing, but I love that you're happy. I'm 36 and feel so lost. I hope you can keep doing beautiful intentional things everyday
Are you kidding me, I have been living this way for the last 35 years I'm all about love, life, freedom, and the knowledge of being able to live with nature in nature and all natural resources and surroundings. I love me. I'm totally into believing in myself and have excepted the life I've been given . If one cannot find their inner self, they will live a life of dreams and be stressed out by the fact that until they let go of the worldly things in life and find a way to give back to themselves what life and love is meant to be they're never going to be truly happy. I live in the mountains and I will never go back to the life I lived before finding the true meaning of living.
One of the best times in my life was when my family had nothing. We lived out of my dads truck out in the woods. No jobs, no paychecks, no place to be. Just the three of us living off of nature. 40 years later, now comes the stress of a mortgage, car payments, putting kids thru school. Never take things for granted. Chose your own destiny in life. Never be lead around by the nose going in other peoples direction. Take your own path and have no regrets. The world is a beautiful place Isabel. Find your place.

the more time i spend around other people the more i need to spend time in nature mountain biking or camping its a recharge for me and it helps guide me back on my own path in life
You seem to have an almost prophetic grasp on the concept of treating yourself with grace. I resonate really strongly with what you said about asking yourself what you can bring into this world ❤ I can't believe I've never thought about it like that before! I suppose I've always felt so overwhelmed by what the world was asking of me that I didn't have much left over to give away. Thanks for making this video. It's been a lonely week and this video really helped me to be more at peace with that 😌
What we have found is people complaining about everything, we mean EVERYTHING! But not willing to do anything to change their situation. All we can say is do something, do something different than what you normally do. But especially, STOP COMPLAINING, it makes the sunshine go away.
Isabel, You're making perfect sense. You're connecting with yourself and simply want to connect with other people. In your last video, you gave up your phone. I'm 61 years old and it took my phone breaking to get me to decide to do what you just did. I've been living without a phone for a while now and it's way better. You're thinking straight. Just trust Universal Consciousness to lead you along. You have a great destiny and it's unfolding perfectly. I'm sure of this. Thank you so much for making these videos. Peace & Love, David
I hear you sister. Loud and clear. And probably that is why I watch so many of your videos nowdays, because you speak to my heart so deeply it even makes me cry at times. I often feel stuck because I just can't and don't even want to fit in this messed up system with so much disease and suffering. But it also breaks my heart that so many of us live unaware of how used out and drained they are by this system. So I feel a deep desire to help and to make the change and that can put so much pressure on me because I don't yet know how to do that. But I try my best to make peace with myself because as a wise man said we ourselves have to be the change that we want to see in the world. So my focus in on creating internal love first that I can than radiate towards others. And I just want to thank you for sharing your experience. It gives me so much inspiration to see that it IS possible to create a life that we want to live. And it might come with a ton of sweat and tears but it's all going to be worth it. And I really hope that if we all stand together we really can turn things aroud. So thank you again for your lovely energies
Hey Isabelle. You’re totally not alone in this. I just lost my job due to corona virus and moved back to my home country Latvia. Being in Amsterdam and working full time in an office just made me a robot. I love being back, living in the cabin in the woods for a while, reconnecting with nature and with my soul again. I have so many friends around me also struggling with finding a source of income that doesn’t stand in the way of a natural “real” way of living.
The universe or some higher power or whatever you want to believe in, brought your channel to me. My whole life I knew I belonged in nature, surrounded by nothing but nature. I remember as a kid I would close my eyes and picture myself in a deep valley. Looking all around, spinning, and seeing nothing but.. nature. No telephone polls, no streets, no skyscappers off in the distance. I always wanted that free feeling and that deep breath of true fresh air. I have felt trapped and suffocated in my suburban city my entire life. When I was younger I would adventure, create, design, without a care in the world. Growing up really does something to you. It crushes every hope and piece of freedom you’ve ever felt. I went to college, got a high paying job, and look where I’m at. Desperately searching for a new sense of happiness. I’m currently on my journey to bring back that feeling I once felt as a kid, aimlessly running through meadows of flowers with nothing but the sunshine. I just want to thank you for sharing your story because it has done more than motivated to find MY true calling and happiness in life. I’m not sure what that will be yet, but I’m on the path to find it.
Looking at the big picture through Isabel's life then and now, I think knowing what you really want to do in your life in a deep sense like what she said here is the start and being intentionally living our life on a daily basis towards this goal is the path. I know it's easier said than done but this is just the living proof of that. Better to struggle to achieve this kind of life we always dream of having than staying stuck on our comfort zones with these excuses... Thanks Isa for lighting up the path coming home for all of us who are still kind of stuck and lost in the middle.💖
Choose to be content with only the things you have. Backpack for a while, and see what that does to your "wish list." The problem becomes "how do I get rid of all this junk?!"
Wow! I agree. I like the way you think, and the way you eat. I am probably 30 yrs your senior and I have found very few on your level at your age or my age for that matter. I enjoy watching your videos because you remind me of the important things I have forgotten in my own struggles. Keep doing what you do. You are a shining star for many to gaze upon and gain benefit. 😊
I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but for someone so young, you have so much wisdom. I am twice your age, but I feel like there is a lot I could learn from you. I feel most at home when I am out in nature. Walking by the river, or through the woods, is where I feel most free. I live on the west coast of British Columbia, about 2 1/2 hours from Seattle, and I feel so fortunate to live in this beautiful province. I've been laid off due to COVID-19, and I've actually really been enjoying getting out into nature more often. Nature is definitely my happy place, except for when people decide the rules about dirt bikes on the trail don't apply to them.
Hey Isabel, I understand how you feel. I've been feeling stuck as well due to financial reasons. One thing that could be a possibility for you is to start your own business maybe. From your videos it's clear that you're very creative. Maybe you could make something sustainable to sell, then live outdoors? It's something I've been thinking about. I'm feeling drawn towards doing permaculture as a job so that I am connected to the earth. I love your stories, you popped up on the TH-cam feed this morning. I hope that you're finding more happiness and peace with each passing day. Also, that you're healthy during these COVID-19 days. Best, Hannah
As I listen to this girl who is so young and saying all of these things like she has been in this earth 70 yrs. How can someone this young think she is so wise she hasn't even lived that long she hasn't seen life yet. However she is amazingly wise and in tune with what life should be about.

Don't let yourself declare Him to be Lord only when it is too late. Repent, for His kingdom is coming. The day of judgement is coming. He has NEVER turned someone away who came to repentance. Even I, who grew up in a Christian home but loved the world and went my own way; when I came to the cross in earnest, and repented and asked forgiveness, He accepted me, just as the father accepted the prodigal son. The sufferings of the present moment are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who are in Christ Jesus. But I reckon as well that the joys of the present moment are nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits those who will continue to harden their hearts against The Lord. There are only two kingdoms in this world: The kingdom of darkness, and The Kingdom of God. You are for one or the other, there is no middle ground. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory at calvary, but it's up to you to believe. The Bible says, to paraphrase: repent of your sins (turn from them, ask forgiveness), and believe in Jesus Christ, and you SHALL be saved. Hallelujah! All praise be to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever!
I am just in awe because I just found another person that thinks the same way as me. You are very beatiful soul. Thank you for all of your beatiful videos and messages. I am also following a spiritual life for about 5 years now. Today was the happiest day of my life. Recently I began learning how to love God and this gave me so much happiness, peace and made me whole and complete and fullfilled. Only when we learn how to love God/Source/The Universe then we will receive everything that our soul wants. First learn to love yourself and then love God with all your heart and build a strong relationship with him and then you will automatically love every person etc. God is Love and Love is God. We are Love since we have a soul. Life is so beatiful when you receive the Love from the Universe. Louise Hay will change your life with her affirmations. I began loving myself just by saying 1 affirmations every day. I just think that everything in the Universe is perfect because now I look from the perspective of God. It is so fullfilling to live a simple life :)
Very few people think the way you do. This life feels a bit lonely at times when you are most likely not surrounded by the like-minded people. But yeah the kind of satisfaction and inner peace we get is unparallel. Nothing can match that. At least now I know someone has the same mindset and perspective about life as I do.
Isabel, I feel you. For REAL! I used to feel there was something wrong with me. I felt alone even when i was around people. I felt stuck on college, following the life i was supposed to...somehow it wasn’t that fulfilling for me. Outside, in the green, with the grass beneath my feet, i feel free. I feel ME. But it’s scary, financially, sometimes it seems impossible and far. You inspire me. To look forward, to act and fight for what I want. Thank you✨
There's one thing I wish I could share with everyone who thinks that leaving the city and living in the wilderness will bring you happiness, because I did exactly that, and I still didn't find happiness. Matter of fact, nothing I've ever done brought me lasting contentment except for one thing: Jesus Christ. I used to think of Christians as a little misguided and narrow minded, but I began to seek God for who He really is, and He began to work in me. For many years, I sought God in buddhism, hinduism, new age...He showed me that they're all lies.

You are wise way beyond your years Isabel. It's so beautiful to see. I always smile when I watch your videos. You remind me of my younger self. I lived in the wild often traveling the Country with a small backpack and a guitar on my back. I so miss those days! For now I am 62 years old and 1/2 paralyzed by having to "pay the bills" as I grew older and took on more and more responsibility. You are on the right path isie ... Stay true to your soul sweet girl. You are truly beautiful inside and out. May the Universe bless you always. 🙏🕉️☸️✌️❤️

@@palau23321 thank you and everything you said is so true and I believe as you do Christ is the answer for everything he says to worship God with all our hearts with all our mind with all our strength and all our soul and to love our neighbor as ourselves that's the one I have a problem with so pray for me dear girl and thank you for your great words
Isabel it is refreshing to see a young person like you to be so in touch with your thoughts striving to live such a simple life. And feeling so blessed. I learned a very long time ago that the greatest gifts I ever received were no bought at wal mart, but were the values that parents taught to me. And without my evening knowing it at the time.

It is wonderful that you live in a country that is free and allows you to seek out whatever you define as happiness. That being said, everyone needs a productive purpose in life. Your existence simply cannot be experiencing nature, spending time with family friends, and sharing emotions. You look negatively at "consuming", yet you consume everyday and everywhere you go. Maybe less so, but you still do. You need to provide a service /product to others to be part of society. You can choose to only "work" part-time and maximize leisure time, but you still need to have that in your life. You need it to be whole. I hope you find your purpose and you love doing it. Best of luck in your search!
I took a two week road trip with my friend to visit national parks and it was the happiest I’ve ever been. I came back and people told me I looked HAPPIER. That was the best compliment I’ve ever heard in my life! If I was financially stable, I would live the way I truly want.

@@palau23321 You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! I SO AGREE, 110%!! THAT is the void in EVERY human being's life!! HE IS THE ONLY ONE that fulfills that PLACE!! We were created by HIM AND FOR HIM! YES CHRIST IS OUR ANSWER!! And we DO have to step away from this sinful world and TURN TO HIM! EVEN when you DO give your life fully over to HIM, HE SHOWS YOU THE TRUTH OF HIMSELF AND THAT WAYS OF THIS WORLD THAT ARE NOT OF HIM!!!! And YES you DO enjoy the things of this world, the simplicities, NATURE, other brothers and sisters that we truly all our to each other, friendships and relationships that are built through HIM! OUR King is AMAZING and He is just waiting on you and I to CALL upon HIS NAME and ask WHO HE IS, and see Whom He is cause HE WILL show himself unto you! He is ALWAYS there and HAS LOVED YOU from the very beginning! HE laid down His LIFE for you to pay for your sin debt IN FULL! HES MADE that way to YOU! He only wants you to surrender and ACCEPT HIM! To receive SUCH that BLESSED and HOLY GIFT of SALVATION! HE IS the answer to LIFE and ETERNAL LIFE - Our final HOME - AMEN!
Hey.. you are definitely not alone in that feeling. Your video is beautiful, its real, its raw and full of grace.. it spoke to me deeply.. expressing what sits and stirs in my heart.. many years back I was made redundant from my job.. that was on a Friday by the Monday I had a backpack packed, and I was on a Long distance trail, across The Scottish Mountains.. I entered those mountains as one person and left as another... Stripped everything back to the bare bones.. less is always more.. . Isabel thank you for reflecting what is good and great in this world.. Keep Shining x
My Beautiful Wife gave me a feeling of completeness she was my sole mate . I lost her to cancer she was 46 i was mentally crippled for 5 years it really left a big hole were my sole used to be . Sometimes i wonder will i ever be happy again .
this was sad to read.. losing someone is the hardest and getting out of grief is not an easy road. Just keep in mind that she would've wanted you to be happy. start doing things that she liked or wanted to do maybe that will keep you in touch with her. or maybe do a good deed for her soul.. idk.. sending you love
So deeply touched with your loss Raymond. I'm sorry brother. I really am. I pray that somehow God will bless you with tremendous peace and that His Spirit washes over you and you gain a new sense of your wife's presence. There's NOTHING in this world that could ever replace what you lost, I understand. A gift so deep that it's literally part of you. I too, have a great friend, in my wife. I just pray somehow God will help fill the void and give you unspeakable peace in your heart.
You’re not alone! I feel the constant pull/tug and inner turmoil for that balance. I found a more seasonal job, saved $, and recently went full time rv life. Work life is draining but a necessity, unless you go completely off grid and fully self sustainable. Definitely is the ultimate goal for me. Love your videos and all that you stand for! Truly a kind & wise soul you are.
Thank you for this video, I really want a life like that too, I wish there was some little town somewhere where I could just show up and work and earn enough to stay, and to be welcomed and invited. I tried looking online but I couldn't find it! Ahhh, dang, jokes on me. LOL! Let me know if you find a community like that on ur journey!
Then search no more. Come to Marshall NC. 28753. I love living this life and would be more than happy to help anyone else get started. Just ask for river bill. Every one knows me.
Deep down I feel that most people don't know what they want, but simply need love, connection and understanding and its hard to find here in the city due to the amount of distractions. Hopefully as one people we find the true path to happiness and love.
I don’t think it always matters what steps you take in the first instance...as long as you do something. Often when you take some form of action, you’re presented with new ideas and you find new concepts that resonate with you. Then you can focus your energy on those things and if you do it in a sustainable, consistent way, the change you’re looking for will come
Wise beyond your years!!! I think as you get older (im55) you become uber conscious of your mortality and the path your clearing verses the wide open road it used to be. I'm on that journey, my kids are through college and starting their own adult lives. I'm single 55 and feel 35, I go where I want to go and see what needs to be seen! Fortunately I am somewhat financially stable and can afford to live this nomadic lifestyle. I can rely on what I have to get started and live comfortably on my monthly income that I have earned in my career as a regular "joe smoe". For the last 30 years I've been consumed by 56 hour work weeks, deadlines, keeping up with them jones's and parental responsibilities. I saw first hand in a city called Floyd, in Virginia and there where alot of 25-35 year olds living this modest lifestyle and I was excited. Some were starting families and others were living "free"! I've always had that hippie spirit in me and now i can keep on trucking. So I know there is so much to learn yet! So keep your chin up and be safe and I hope I run into a few of you on the road ahead.
Hey Isabel, I do, we do feel the same - you aren’t alone and I know this is an old video but since I discovered you I want to watch your journey from the beginning - I’m 44, I discovered meditation at 42 and I have a family, wife and children - you are spot on, the memories we shall cherish are those of time together with loved ones and I’m taking inspiration from you to transform our way of life, to minimise, de clutter, do without and be together in nature as often as possible - I’m going to enjoy working my way through your videos.

Love that you aske questions from us on finding answers to some important questions: Why I am here? What is my purpose? How can I live free without being indebted to the world? We do attach ourselves to the material things and pleasures of the world ... love working with others to break this tiring cycle we are stuck in. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Every questions you’ve asked are the questions that I’m asking myself now. Freedom and Peace is what I seek. I have a son and I don’t want him to be attached to social media and society of feeling he needs expensive material things to live. Watching your videos helps me to see that there is more to life than what we know. You are helping so many other people out there. Continue to keep pushing and being a great inspiration to everyone.

Yes I feel the same! But I try to everyday of my life, to do the work that I truly enjoy. After work, I am on a trail running or hiking. Weekends filled with surfing or snowboarding. I live a different life each season, as each season anticipating and finally experiencing a soft snowfall, hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding. And I go as often as possible, sharing these experiences with friends. Then another season, brings me to backpacking, kayaking, surfing, mountain biking, all depending on the season. I enjoy spring, summer and fall as well, and experience each moment. Remember to enjoy each day, as it is a gift, that is why it is called the "present". Enjoy it! Where ever you are, enjoy it. Even if its taking a walk to enjoy a sunset. Or after a hike or surfing, make an amazing dinner at a campfire in the woods or on the beach. You are very awesome!

So weird listening to you! I appreated you years ago and still appreate you today. Weird because I am very happy I accomplished all my goals as far as home, just never accomplished getting out in nature as much as I thought I have. Amazing how listening to you made me think about how a non expensive life style could be what's actually expensive! That's really odd to me! I will be traveling after I get my home in order. I am rebuilding a vehical and waiting for some parts. That would help alot. Then I have to be creative and think about how to bring my family along! Thanks for your kind words! I'm sure you help alot of people! I didn't grow up overly involved in technology. My best times where looking outside of that! Human connection is something that gets stolen from. We are capable of so much!
Your letter is a wake-up call for every one to live simply in nature surrounded by it's beauty. I had struggle all my life with my life and I am stuck with every stress that included. I cried so much when I listen to your message through this video because I want to change my life but I just I couldn't .... I couldn't. Every time I put an effort for a thing it turns to be a mess again in my life. Nothing works with me, literally nothing. I don't know how I could change my life, even I am trying so hard but the country that I am living in is the total mess of my life and now they are torturing us to give us the passport to leave. How about that struggle that we are living everyday besides that the expensive living that we can barely afford, plus there is no work at all. We are living in a death place and we are a dead people even when we are alive.
I am sooo glad I stumbled across your youtube channel today... I have felt this way for years not knowing what was missing or why I felt so empty and lost. I too get lost in the ways of society and do not agree that a going to school and essentially wasting away your life with a 9-5 job. You've literally put into words the emptiness i have been feeling and i thank you so much for that!! i wish you all the best
Exactly. These kinds of people rely on video views to bring in revenue so they can continue to fund their lifestyle where they tell people to put down their phones. smh
Hi, actually I deleted youtube and instagram from my phone since I watched her previous video and I'm watching right now from my laptop. I think it's a little bit more about how mindful you are when you spend time on social media, I personally found that I'm addicted to mindless scroll and that's why I decided to delete the apps from my phone, now I came here exactly to watch more videos from her channel!. Just sharing a point of view, nice day everybody!
I’m so obsessed with your vibe and how and where you live I have watched all your videos about 5 times each it never gets boring! 100% my favourite you tuber , you inspire me x
Your videos and watching you gives me peace in my soul. You are very beautiful... it's so nice to see someone that values the things that are truly important in life.
Filling a lack of purpose with an imaginary friend is like eating empty calories every day. It might work for some people that can maintain the delusion, but most honest and introspective people have to face the fact that they’ve been living a lie and feeding themselves a diet of bullshit. It’s a sad path to travel if you value truth and clarity.
I'm starting this series, feeling like you made my dream come true when i was 18. Right now i'm 25 and lost, thanks for the hope, you made me remember some core memories.
Growing up in a city I always thought that I would continue to live my life in the city; It gave me a sense of stability and independence. But then I went away to school and I was suddenly surrounded by forests and gorges and wanted nothing more than to frolic in nature, filled with the joy that I see you filled within the mountains. I sat in the forest one day, alone, and listened to everything around me. At first, I was nervous, hearing the acorns drop, twigs snap, animals around me calling out, but as I kept going I realized that the silence was what was jarring. I was so used to police sirens and bright lights that I never got a chance to sit alone and absorb, not consume, all that was around me in a natural way. I loved it and will continue to do it as much as I can.
Totally with you divine sister! It’s beautiful to see so many like minded people beginning to connect and recognize each other. Please continue sharing your wonderful thoughts and reflections and showing your freedom ❤️
I'm 51, I never liked my jobs and every day is like groundhogs day. Same 💩 different day but watching you and Hannah brings that adventurous side out in all of us.
i’m moving to the mountains alone in a month and i just found your channel. your so beautiful inside and out. you’re right we aren’t living life fully when we are just stuck inside in our phone. i’m excited and you inspire me. i feel like we’d be such good friends 🏔 thanks for your amazing videos 🌸
Isabel you touch me deeply and bring out the incredible desire of my soul... I feel deep sadness, cause I am not living yet how I truly intend to. Thanks for being with me on my journey of searching my place in this world Lots of love
Before watching this video I was just saying almost word for word how you were feeling is how I feel. It's nice to know I'm not alone, I've started my own business and have been saving up to move across the country this past year and I really want to thank you for inspiring me. You make me feel like I'm capable and it truly is possible, after seeing how much you've grown I'm so excited for the future and I genuinely want to thank you again for sharing your journey. 🤗🤗🤗
I am really glad I found your channel. I’m going to try to keep this real short because I could go on and on about what being out in nature does for me. I’m not religious but also am not against religion but I have often described as the woods as my sanctuary because it is where I am at my most peace. Raising and spending time with my daughter is my most precious moments but unfortunately as she turned 13 this year, lol I lost my partner in crime with going on trips together. I knew at some point it would happen but her growing and having her own friends in its own is a bright highlight because it shows that she is growing into her own but still and will always have the love for animals, birds, critters, etc. I’ve done youtube for five years (Changed channels 3 different times) but recently switched to Facebook as I found less competition and more views there to here. With what I do, felt like I became a small fish swimming in a big pond. Awesome videos and I really am looking forward to catching up to the current videos. Your definitely an inspiration and maybe if I can break away from the nervousness of talking with the camera facing me, I can bring more of a variety to my videos and explain what it all means to me. Keep up the beautiful work, its refreshing. Be safe
Isabel I feel like your thoughts are the thoughts of an inner goddess... A natural beauty of this earth. I feel the earth wasn't made for a 9-5 or a rat race it was created to LOVE and LIVE naturally in this natural earth. I have just came across you and I thank the powerful force for it.. I am sooooo happy for you and your journey is incredible... I love to see more people becoming free to go live with OUR mumma.. Nature!!! Blessings sister have a wonderful life 💛✌️🌿🌼🌻🍃😆
The feelings you are having are perfectly natural, how it was meant to be, stay in touch with your inner spirit you have an inner light that is burning brighter every day... I am 50 years old and wish I had what you have, you are a free spirit that can't be chained, you carry on doing what you feel... God Bless you child...
You're on to something bigger than you know. I myself have not experienced any kind of joy and fulfillment like fulfilling my God given purpose which can change at different moments in time and things are only a season. You're not alone I'm going through the wilderness and a desert at this moment in time taking time to heal and I choose to believe the best is yet to come and I can relate to finances and most of the time I must do my part and he does more. I've been praying you find what makes you truly happy and brings you the most fulfillment joy and peace of mind. Keep making great content and doing everything you enjoy girl. Cheers.
Beautiful Video Isabel 🏄♂️🌻🌞 I know you posted it some months ago but I had to send you a compliment because I really enjoyed it and loved your thoughts. When we’re connected to nature is when we are closest to God the source of everything. It’s so true that we all have been enslaved to Debt in a broken financial system that only benefits a very few running the Central Banking System. There are many signs that the old financial system is coming to an end very soon and I’m hoping that this will usher in NESARA, the “National Economic Security And Reformation Act”. If this Law is activated we will all have what it takes financially to live the life that you describe in your video. Hey I love that you surf 🏄♀️ I’ve surfed for many decades and still love it every time I paddle out. Sending you Love and Light ✌️❤️🌞
I've been looking at your older videos, to be able to understand all the way you've made until here... and this one is a great one! A big vision of yourself and the world! thank you for sharing it! you're not alone, we are here to inspire by being true to ourselves. It's not easy for the moment, but thanks to those like you, it will be soon very accessibble for more people! god bless you sister!
Isabel, I 💖 your videos, they are an inspiration and hopefully a motivation to many in this crazy world we are living in right now! As bright and resourceful that you are, you are going to go far in life! I wish the best for you and that you will find that true partner that has the same views and treats you the way you should be treated with great Respect and Love! God Bless and Stay safe!
Im 55 and feel this every day. I'm tired of being part of this consumption world. I'm OVER it and I want nothing but nature and peace.
Do you married?
@David B. III I understand completely David. And the irony since my post and now your reply is for the 2nd time in 4 years, I have been blindsided by a corporate sell off where everyone including myself will no longer have a job. Hmmm, possibly the universe trying to tell me to finally go find that peace we both want? David, be strong, minimize and go after that life you desire. Abandon fear and don't worry about what you're leaving behind or what the world vigorously demands you need in life. You don't need 90% of it. Go find your peace and I truly hope it brings you back to authentic happiness 😊
me too. let's start a community in nature where we all can be alone, but together... :)
@@im5599 How wonderful that would be I M!
David B. III yah, but I bet most of these people here don’t like our President, yet the Leftists DemonRats are the one letting your towns and cities burn. Ironic how that works, you elect a POS Governor, mayor, and they throw citizens under the bus for the sake of politics , and our President get criticized and all he wants to do is keep the American dream alive, so you can at some point go out and have that happy place in the Forrest, the Leftists let the Forrest burn and extinguish your dreams, then blame it on our President, shameful, I’m glad you understand
You're definitely not the only one. I've felt this way for such a long time. Your story videos really open my eyes!! I want to be a better person, I want to love more, travel, spend time with nature and family more. I'm sure there's other people who feel the same way and or haven't realized it yet. Everyone has a life purpose
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@isabel_paige Maybe a community of people like us could create a community like Arcosanti in AZ.
@@isabel_paige I'm in x
Hi in germany living alot of people this way and keep the earth clean be more awake all people must this way since it well give no tomorrow..
....the downside of this new way and once one became famous on yout. or so is, that you still can exchange thoughts with your idols, but usually not a real exchange on mutual basis....;-( ....there is even a risk of kind of addiction, as basic human needs are only partially fulfilled through this...
You're not alone with those feelings.
I spent a month walking across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago. For that month, all my belongings were contained in a backpack and my clothes' pockets. What you said about how not living with much makes you realize that happiness doesn't come from material items, but how happiness really comes from people, creating memories, and sharing emotions is absolutely true. I don't usually comment, but after hearing you say this, and because I lived it, I felt compelled to share.
My experience on the Camino showed me many things. It showed me that connection is what matters most, that everyone and everything is connected. It showed me how important communication is. I think most problems can be traced back to a breakdown in communication. For reasons of my own introversion, I started the Camino on my own.
But it wasn't long before the universe conspired and brought a group of us lone strangers together. It was a very dense month. We talked and walked together, ate and drank together, danced, sang, laughed, cried, brooded, gallivanted together. Every day was a chapter, an episode. Previous experience had taught me that exposing our vulnerability to the world would only result in hurt or damage. But on the contrary, here I found our vulnerability was instead rewarded with the forming of these beautiful unbreakable bonds. The Camino was showing me that I wasn't alone in my weirdness. That actually, I wasn't at all as weird as I thought. It was showing me that if we just give each other the chance, we find that we are so similar to each other.
When all you're doing is walking for 8-hours a day, your life becomes very simple. There's a freedom to that,
there's a freedom to simplicity. The Camino showed me that life can be so simple; that life is simple but that often we make it so complicated. I embarked on day 1 with a backpack full of stuff, every pocket had something in it. I was heavy. As days passed and the miles began to pile up, I began skeptically peeking inside my pack and questioning it. Like, what was the real value versus weight of these things. I hadn't yet even cracked open A Collection of Edgar Allen Poe's Short Stories and Poems, "Why carry this?" I thought to myself, "I'm living a story right now!" Too heavy so I donated it to the albergue I was staying the night at. This was the first domino to fall. The farther I walked, the less I carried. I was shedding weight. It turns out, when you actually get down to it, a lot of what you think is necessary, really isn't. By around halfway to Santiago, I had shed most of what I had started out with. I was light.
There were a lot of special moments and experiences and characters on the Camino that I will one day, when inspiration hits,
all get down on paper, but for the sake of this space and your time, for now, they'll remain in my brain. Suffice to say, the aggregate effect of these moments and experiences and people changed the way I was seeing the world, and the world I was seeing changed because of it. I felt light and I felt alive like I never had before. I'm not sure if I would call it an awakening or a glimpse into enlightenment, but I just felt like I was momentarily aligned with something divine. It was a feeling rather than a knowing. Things were suddenly falling into place. There was an effortless harmony to the moments. The world was starting to make sense. I was beginning to see how and why every moment led me to now, how it all fit together, how perfect it all is. I understood to trust in the way things are. I found meaning. And then I lost it.
You are right, you can't buy this feeling. Like you said, it only graces you when you live how you should be living.
Never in my life had I felt such inner peace and freedom, and alas, sadly, never since. I understand you when you said you felt like a zombie in your normal life, how working in city life seem to take all your inner energy out of you. For me, there was a honeymoon period when I first returned back to the US, where for a month or two I was still residually glowing from that immense light I had courted. But then slowly but surely, the friction of big city life began to grind those layers of light right back off of me, back down till it had all but left me with a few glittery specks here and there. But those glittery specks remain. And I'm extremely grateful for them. It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. My awareness has increased, what is possible has increased. Hope is among the most powerful of things. What makes me feel free is what the Camino showed me. It showed me that, usually, the answer comes with not adding but with subtracting. It showed me to keep an open mind, that this world and the people in it are not all bad, there is good out there. And it showed me that meaning is something you perpetually strive for, otherwise, we wouldn't be human.
Thanks for the inspiration.
thanks for sharing... sounds like you need regular thru hikes.
✨✨
Reading this is just... beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I wish one day i get to experience what you did.
joecruz03 , What a Magnificent experience! May you be blessed with such essence at every present moment!🙏🇨🇦♥️🌈🌎
Read this full....i really needed to hear this....that not everybody is bad there are also good ones out there
“All we do is consume”... never heard truer words
brought to you by the technology she claims to be against.
Lloyd Holiday she didn’t claim to be against technology you babbling boob of unintelligible thought! She said, “put technology down for a bit to be free” get over yourself you ass hat Nazi.
when we actually came here to create :)
There's one thing I wish I could share with everyone who thinks that leaving the city and living in the wilderness will bring you happiness, because I did exactly that, and I still didn't find happiness. Matter of fact, nothing I've ever done brought me lasting contentment except for one thing: Jesus Christ. I used to think of Christians as a little misguided and narrow minded, but I began to seek God for who He really is, and He began to work in me. For many years, I sought God in buddhism, hinduism, new age...He showed me that they're all lies. The Bible actually warns us about the doctrines of man and the traditions of the world, warning us not to let ourselves be deceived by them. These are defined at the end of the verse as as any system that does not preach the gospel of Christ. That is, Christ crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins.
I'm telling you guys, Jesus Christ is real, and He is Lord. The Bible says that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess He is Lord (paraphrase). Don't let yourself declare Him to be Lord only when it is too late. Repent, for His kingdom is coming. The day of judgement is coming. He has NEVER turned someone away who came to repentance. Even I, who grew up in a Christian home but loved the world and went my own way; when I came to the cross in earnest, and repented and asked forgiveness, He accepted me, just as the father accepted the prodigal son.
The sufferings of the present moment are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who are in Christ Jesus. But I reckon as well that the joys of the present moment are nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits those who will continue to harden their hearts against The Lord. There are only two kingdoms in this world: The kingdom of darkness, and The Kingdom of God. You are for one or the other, there is no middle ground. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory at calvary, but it's up to you to believe. The Bible says, to paraphrase: repent of your sins (turn from them, ask forgiveness), and believe in Jesus Christ, and you SHALL be saved. Hallelujah! All praise be to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever!
@Lloyd Holiday - it’s a shame because it seems the only way you can live this sort of life is if you find some way to freelance or do TH-cam - which wouldn’t pay the bills without people over consuming technology. You tubers make money through ads and consumerism. No hate, but you can never really escape it because you either consume it or sell it to be free. Either way - not great.
I’m 44 and this resonates with me so deeply. You possess a truth that will set and keep you free, if you stay awake and vigilant to this pursuit of true life. Bless you for inspiring so many to wake up and come back to life.
Ugh. I just stumbled onto your page. I can't even make it through this video. I am in tears at how beautiful your life looks. I am so unhappy, and I know why; it is for all of the reasons you say. I can't seem to escape it. It is like you said in one of your later videos that I watched first--it feels like a circle. You do the things society tells you to do, thinking one day you'll be happy, but that day never comes, and the depression rolls in like a heavy fog. You're inspiring, and lovely, and your life looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I lost my job at the beginning of April and it has me reevaluating some things. I was never happy there. I tried so hard to fit in, do more than my best, and get along with some of the people, but nothing was good enough, and my kind heartedness was never reciprocated. I was never encouraged. I could go on and on, but the fact is, I was just unhappy. I feel like going back to work in a similar capacity is my only option, but you almost have me believing there's a different path I'm allowed to take. I hope I find it soon. I think I will walk barefoot in the garden tomorrow, build the trellises that need built, then pack an overnight bag for the trail and just disappear for a couple days. Thanks for the inspiration.
Am sorry to hear that, you are not alone.
How was the trail trip?
Sorry that has happened to you. Never allow anyone to take your sweetness and kindness and "shit" all over it. You are valuable!
Update?.
One day when I was hiking on my own and thinking about life I came up with this:
Life…
Life is about sadness, learning from it and how to cope with it.
Life is about joy and happiness, learning from it and share it.
Life is about emotions, learning from it and deal with it.
Life is about making mistakes, learning from it and move on with better knowledge.
Life is about making decisions, learning from it and becoming better at it.
Life is about caring for others, learning from it and being a better human being.
Life is about ups and downs, learning from it, adapt and overcome.
Life is about believing in yourself, learning from it and evolve.
Life is about taking a moment to contemplate your life, why you live, how you live and how you can improve it…
Enjoy your life while you can…, preferably with someone you love.
I agree with what you're saying and for most people it's very frightening to realize how they're living and change it for the better to find the real happiness.
Wow... Chills. Thank you for your words.

You said what's in mind and my situation. The sad part is that I feel alone eventhough I'm surrounded with people. Real friendship and unconditional love is so hard to find in this lonely planet.
totally agree, it's never the material things that make us truly happy!
Our lives will be ultimately meaningless unless we've lived them to the glory of God.
@@JonathanGillies not going to lie, you do sound just a little crazy! there are infinite things that can give life meaning that have absolutely nothing to do with religion
I feel exactly the same way. When I am living in the city, I feel stuck. I keep coming up with ideas on what would make me happier, but I always come back to the same empty feeling. I’ve reflected on the times when I feel free and I realized, it’s the times when I’m in nature, away from my phone, away from all of my material items, away from people who consume, away from fast food and junk food, away from all that. I am the most happy hiking, exploring mountains, walking through creeks, I am the most happy when I feel like I don’t need to shave my legs or wash my hair, when outside influence isn’t an issue. I feel stuck in this world of consumption, but there is also freedom in knowing that I am stuck. There is freedom in knowing why. There is freedom in knowing that I have the capacity to step away from all that makes me feel stuck.
You dont realize how much I agree.. literally everything you wrote here I agree with. I hope you are spending more time in nature than 2 years ago 🤍
I totally agree, understand and feel the same as you. I’m in that fase where I have been looking for people who feel the same too and that’s how I found your channel. I’m so grateful for finding it.
I got to a point in my life where I just want to find out a way to do something I love to do, something with purpose, that I can make money with it, just enough to live.
Unfortunately we are a minority and most of people don’t understand this feeling so we end up feeling alone in this world.
I love the idea that you use your channel to get together people like us. Something I’ve been thinking about doing for too long now and still haven’t done. Glad you did.
So I’ll stick around and hopefully someday we will be a big lovely community 🥰 haha
Thank you Isabel 💚
Loneliness is not the something we should fear. It is something we should embrace. It is when we feel most alone we discover who we truly are. Devoid of all outside influence.
I am 41 and have always felt this way. You are truly inspiring. You have given me a new purpose watching your videos. You have helped me realize that I need to take advantage of this beautiful life. Carry on, you will love life more than most. You have more figured out at 21 than I do now. I felt stuck all these years and met my wife, who's personality is strangely very much like yours. I didn't quite understand her as well as I do now. She lived a similar 20s as you, but I lived it very differently, but always wished I could. You have also helped me understand my wife in a new way. It is such an odd thing to watch a video and have life altering. Thank you for sharing your life in this way. You positively effected my life.
This video made me cry...I am feeling this way and have been for a long time now. Trying to pay off debt, I am working towards being financially free and living in nature. Thank you, just confirms for me even more what I truly want. 💜 much love
Same here sister!
I just found your channel recently and immediately came to the beginning of your videos to see what your inner and outer journeys have been like. I have to say, I'm so glad I did. Everything you share through these story vlogs really bring up parts of me that I have either suppressed, or refuse to acknowledge even though I know it's there. I know I have more to learn and grow from in this life, but all we have is Now, the present moment. Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and being so raw and real.
It is great that you are exploring these feelings and thoughts. You are building memories which will make you happy in your old ago. I am now 70 and these kinds of memories are the ones I remember. Growing up in the Puget Sound area helped a lot. It was much different 60 years ago. After being born in a refugee camp in Southern Germany, with the Knowing my homeland nolonger existed, the Puget Sound was paradise. I will follow your journey and maybe share a little of mine. From one generation to another you are moving in the right direction.
I would so much like to hear about your journey :)
I wanted to add that I admire your courage and honesty. I wish that I had been true to myself and my real feelings at a much younger age. I never really put my own interests first. It seems like people were always making decisions in relationships based on their needs and wants, not mine. It was always what they thought I should be doing or where they wanted to be, rather than me deciding or even mattering. This was with parental, significant other, and spousal relationships. Now I'm divorced and on my own. My health is very compromised and I feel like the last 30+ years of my life was spent in the service of others. Then when I was alone I was living a fear and survival based life, always doubting my ability to even stay alive. You have a good sense of self and are always inquiring and appreciating. It is never easy but don't ever forget who you are, which may always be evolving in many senses. Remember that you matter. (Except if you reach the speed of light squared...then you energy! Just had to throw that in. Don't know who's quote that is, after Einstein, but it's cute.) Thank you!
You're not alone. I grew up in the mountains of very far northern Canada, surrounded by nature. No electricity, no electronics, growing our own food. I never knew how much it would put my whole existence out of sync until I moved to a big city. It's good knowing there's other people out there with similar mind sets :)
You are SO lucky to have figured this out so young. I’m almost 40 and I’m completely stuck. I got lost in conventional thought process of life. I knew deep down that none of it was for me. That’s why I couldn’t finish school. I could never stay at a job. I never got married. I’ve been depressed and anxious increasingly so year by year. To the point where I am numb now. I have no idea what makes me tick. What makes me happy. What I crave. I have no passion. I have built up a wall so high, I have no clue how to even start chipping away at it.
You have created a beautiful life. Keep at it. You’ll have some curveballs but damn it if you don’t have the best outlook to handle it.
Every word you spoke resonated with my soul. The music, the mentality, the life, the feeling you clearly relayed described me and me inner desire. I literally thought I was alone in my thinking. I am trapped, stunted and alone in the technological societal graveyard. I yearn the be free.
It is rare to find someone that has discovered the key to happiness and figured out what they need in life versus what they want. I didn't figure it out until recently, and now it is practically too late. I amazed at you having the courage to follow your intuition and live life to the fullest, on your terms. Nothing wrong in living out of a back pack, carrying only what you need, or sleeping on the floor. By eating and staying fit and healthy, you should live a long life. Love your courage and strength young lady, and being able to share your life and openness. Thank you for posting this video.
Your thoughts are the exact same as mine. Because of this, I've been living off-grid in the Alaskan bush for five years. My setup cost me around $200K and all I have is a 20X30 cabin. Most of the cost was my power generation system. However, I have all the comforts of a home in the city. You'd never guess I was off-grid. Everything I own is paid for and my monthly bills are about $200 a month {cell, internet, truck insurance). It has been a very difficult journey, but well worth it.
@robert Logan wtf did i just read...🙄
I'm about to cry listening to this. I want nothing more than to move on from this busy town I'm in and just walk and look at moss. And collect mushrooms and forage. I'm so sad everyday and incredibly lonely. I try to fill my life with stuff like you were saying to try to make it better. I play a lot of farming type games to simulate what I really want. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to just move to the woods. My grandma has property in California that I'd love to live on but other family issues make that hard :( It gets so bad sometimes that I just don't even wanna be here anymore. I hate feeling like this. I randomly came across your videos yesterday and am backtracking and it's so wonderful to see how you've accomplished so much. It's hard not to feel jealous b/c that's not a good thing, but I love that you're happy. I'm 36 and feel so lost. I hope you can keep doing beautiful intentional things everyday
Are you kidding me, I have been living this way for the last 35 years I'm all about love, life, freedom, and the knowledge of being able to live with nature in nature and all natural resources and surroundings. I love me. I'm totally into believing in myself and have excepted the life I've been given . If one cannot find their inner self, they will live a life of dreams and be stressed out by the fact that until they let go of the worldly things in life and find a way to give back to themselves what life and love is meant to be they're never going to be truly happy. I live in the mountains and I will never go back to the life I lived before finding the true meaning of living.
You are lucky... Not all of us have the chance to do so
Bill Mahgaha how do you pay your bills, feed yourself?
You can live in the mountains, love the idea, but how do you pay for utilities, food, etc?
One of the best times in my life was when my family had nothing. We lived out of my dads truck out in the woods. No jobs, no paychecks, no place to be. Just the three of us living off of nature. 40 years later, now comes the stress of a mortgage, car payments, putting kids thru school. Never take things for granted. Chose your own destiny in life. Never be lead around by the nose going in other peoples direction. Take your own path and have no regrets. The world is a beautiful place Isabel. Find your place.

Even I, who grew up in a Christian home but loved the world and went my own way; when I came to the cross in earnest, and repented and asked forgiveness, He accepted me, just as the father accepted the prodigal son.
The sufferings of the present moment are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who are in Christ Jesus. But I reckon as well that the joys of the present moment are nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits those who will continue to harden their hearts against The Lord. There are only two kingdoms in this world: The kingdom of darkness, and The Kingdom of God. You are for one or the other, there is no middle ground. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory at calvary, but it's up to you to believe. The Bible says, to paraphrase: repent of your sins (turn from them, ask forgiveness), and believe in Jesus Christ, and you SHALL be saved. Hallelujah! All praise be to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever!
Amen!!!!! So true for me too! 🙏🏽🙂
the more time i spend around other people the more i need to spend time in nature mountain biking or camping its a recharge for me and it helps guide me back on my own path in life
You seem to have an almost prophetic grasp on the concept of treating yourself with grace. I resonate really strongly with what you said about asking yourself what you can bring into this world ❤
I can't believe I've never thought about it like that before! I suppose I've always felt so overwhelmed by what the world was asking of me that I didn't have much left over to give away.
Thanks for making this video. It's been a lonely week and this video really helped me to be more at peace with that 😌
What we have found is people complaining about everything, we mean EVERYTHING! But not willing to do anything to change their situation. All we can say is do something, do something different than what you normally do. But especially, STOP COMPLAINING, it makes the sunshine go away.
I feel like I'm not the "only one" in this world when I watched this... thankyou for that and I hope you're having an amazing day yourself 💚
P.s. I call tinfoil pouch coal cooked meals "hobo dinners" haha and absolutely love to cook that way!
Isabel, You're making perfect sense. You're connecting with yourself and simply want to connect with other people. In your last video, you gave up your phone. I'm 61 years old and it took my phone breaking to get me to decide to do what you just did. I've been living without a phone for a while now and it's way better. You're thinking straight. Just trust Universal Consciousness to lead you along. You have a great destiny and it's unfolding perfectly. I'm sure of this. Thank you so much for making these videos. Peace & Love, David
I live in Germany and I feel the same way you do!
I need a friend like you 😄
Huhu ! Ich auch !!! Lass doch mal alle vernetzen!🦋
da bin ich ja anscheinend nicht alleine :D
@adele marty ich habe insta: dancingddreamer und ihr?
Ich bin aus Österreich. Dank Isabell habe ich auch für mich beschlossen mein Leben zu ändern . 😊
@@privat0019 Hey, ich bin auch aus Österreich :) hättest du Lust Kontakt auszutauschen? 😊
I hear you sister. Loud and clear. And probably that is why I watch so many of your videos nowdays, because you speak to my heart so deeply it even makes me cry at times. I often feel stuck because I just can't and don't even want to fit in this messed up system with so much disease and suffering. But it also breaks my heart that so many of us live unaware of how used out and drained they are by this system. So I feel a deep desire to help and to make the change and that can put so much pressure on me because I don't yet know how to do that. But I try my best to make peace with myself because as a wise man said we ourselves have to be the change that we want to see in the world. So my focus in on creating internal love first that I can than radiate towards others. And I just want to thank you for sharing your experience. It gives me so much inspiration to see that it IS possible to create a life that we want to live. And it might come with a ton of sweat and tears but it's all going to be worth it. And I really hope that if we all stand together we really can turn things aroud.
So thank you again for your lovely energies
Hey Isabelle. You’re totally not alone in this. I just lost my job due to corona virus and moved back to my home country Latvia. Being in Amsterdam and working full time in an office just made me a robot. I love being back, living in the cabin in the woods for a while, reconnecting with nature and with my soul again. I have so many friends around me also struggling with finding a source of income that doesn’t stand in the way of a natural “real” way of living.
The universe or some higher power or whatever you want to believe in, brought your channel to me. My whole life I knew I belonged in nature, surrounded by nothing but nature. I remember as a kid I would close my eyes and picture myself in a deep valley. Looking all around, spinning, and seeing nothing but.. nature. No telephone polls, no streets, no skyscappers off in the distance. I always wanted that free feeling and that deep breath of true fresh air. I have felt trapped and suffocated in my suburban city my entire life. When I was younger I would adventure, create, design, without a care in the world. Growing up really does something to you. It crushes every hope and piece of freedom you’ve ever felt. I went to college, got a high paying job, and look where I’m at. Desperately searching for a new sense of happiness. I’m currently on my journey to bring back that feeling I once felt as a kid, aimlessly running through meadows of flowers with nothing but the sunshine. I just want to thank you for sharing your story because it has done more than motivated to find MY true calling and happiness in life. I’m not sure what that will be yet, but I’m on the path to find it.
I dig ur vibe mountain girl. Live free. Be u. Find your inner peace... forget the rest.
Looking at the big picture through Isabel's life then and now, I think knowing what you really want to do in your life in a deep sense like what she said here is the start and being intentionally living our life on a daily basis towards this goal is the path. I know it's easier said than done but this is just the living proof of that. Better to struggle to achieve this kind of life we always dream of having than staying stuck on our comfort zones with these excuses... Thanks Isa for lighting up the path coming home for all of us who are still kind of stuck and lost in the middle.💖
UGH I totally relate!! How do we have financial stability and live freely?! Still figuring it out lol
Hi idol nice. Sending my support to you. I hope you do the same to me around. Thanks 🙏❤️
By becoming self sufficient
Standing here too. I dont need much and if i want anything its peace and quiet. Everything i need is already here
In order to Live freely a lot of the time you must be willing to give up some of your stability.
Choose to be content with only the things you have. Backpack for a while, and see what that does to your "wish list." The problem becomes "how do I get rid of all this junk?!"
Wow! I agree. I like the way you think, and the way you eat. I am probably 30 yrs your senior and I have found very few on your level at your age or my age for that matter.
I enjoy watching your videos because you remind me of the important things I have forgotten in my own struggles. Keep doing what you do. You are a shining star for many to gaze upon and gain benefit. 😊
I am in my 50's and you are not alone in your feelings - great vids...!
I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but for someone so young, you have so much wisdom. I am twice your age, but I feel like there is a lot I could learn from you. I feel most at home when I am out in nature. Walking by the river, or through the woods, is where I feel most free. I live on the west coast of British Columbia, about 2 1/2 hours from Seattle, and I feel so fortunate to live in this beautiful province. I've been laid off due to COVID-19, and I've actually really been enjoying getting out into nature more often. Nature is definitely my happy place, except for when people decide the rules about dirt bikes on the trail don't apply to them.
Hey Isabel,
I understand how you feel.
I've been feeling stuck as well due to financial reasons.
One thing that could be a possibility for you is to start your own business maybe.
From your videos it's clear that you're very creative.
Maybe you could make something sustainable to sell, then live outdoors?
It's something I've been thinking about.
I'm feeling drawn towards doing permaculture as a job so that I am connected to the earth.
I love your stories, you popped up on the TH-cam feed this morning.
I hope that you're finding more happiness and peace with each passing day.
Also, that you're healthy during these COVID-19 days.
Best,
Hannah
As I listen to this girl who is so young and saying all of these things like she has been in this earth 70 yrs. How can someone this young think she is so wise she hasn't even lived that long she hasn't seen life yet. However she is amazingly wise and in tune with what life should be about.
Anytime that I feel full I am in nature and forgetting about all material things.
Thanks Isabel :)
There's one thing I wish I could share with everyone who thinks that leaving the city and living in the wilderness will bring you happiness, because I did exactly that, and I still didn't find happiness. Matter of fact, nothing I've ever done brought me lasting contentment except for one thing: Jesus Christ. I used to think of Christians as a little misguided and narrow minded, but I began to seek God for who He really is, and He began to work in me. For many years, I sought God in buddhism, hinduism, new age...He showed me that they're all lies. The Bible actually warns us about the doctrines of man and the traditions of the world, warning us not to let ourselves be deceived by them. These are defined at the end of the verse as as any system that does not preach the gospel of Christ. That is, Christ crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins.
I'm telling you guys, Jesus Christ is real, and He is Lord. The Bible says that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess He is Lord (paraphrase). Don't let yourself declare Him to be Lord only when it is too late. Repent, for His kingdom is coming. The day of judgement is coming. He has NEVER turned someone away who came to repentance.

I am just in awe because I just found another person that thinks the same way as me. You are very beatiful soul. Thank you for all of your beatiful videos and messages. I am also following a spiritual life for about 5 years now. Today was the happiest day of my life. Recently I began learning how to love God and this gave me so much happiness, peace and made me whole and complete and fullfilled. Only when we learn how to love God/Source/The Universe then we will receive everything that our soul wants. First learn to love yourself and then love God with all your heart and build a strong relationship with him and then you will automatically love every person etc. God is Love and Love is God. We are Love since we have a soul. Life is so beatiful when you receive the Love from the Universe. Louise Hay will change your life with her affirmations. I began loving myself just by saying 1 affirmations every day. I just think that everything in the Universe is perfect because now I look from the perspective of God. It is so fullfilling to live a simple life :)
Very few people think the way you do.
This life feels a bit lonely at times when you are most likely not surrounded by the like-minded people. But yeah the kind of satisfaction and inner peace we get is unparallel. Nothing can match that.
At least now I know someone has the same mindset and perspective about life as I do.
Isabel, I feel you. For REAL! I used to feel there was something wrong with me. I felt alone even when i was around people. I felt stuck on college, following the life i was supposed to...somehow it wasn’t that fulfilling for me. Outside, in the green, with the grass beneath my feet, i feel free. I feel ME. But it’s scary, financially, sometimes it seems impossible and far.
You inspire me. To look forward, to act and fight for what I want. Thank you✨
Honey! im in my sixties and have always thought cell phones have absorbed humanity and dummied us up...
So true. I'm in my thirties and feel the same. I wish I'd never purchased one.

You are wise way beyond your years Isabel. It's so beautiful to see. I always smile when I watch your videos. You remind me of my younger self. I lived in the wild often traveling the Country with a small backpack and a guitar on my back. I so miss those days! For now I am 62 years old and 1/2 paralyzed by having to "pay the bills" as I grew older and took on more and more responsibility. You are on the right path isie ... Stay true to your soul sweet girl. You are truly beautiful inside and out. May the Universe bless you always.
🙏🕉️☸️✌️❤️

@@palau23321 thank you and everything you said is so true and I believe as you do Christ is the answer for everything he says to worship God with all our hearts with all our mind with all our strength and all our soul and to love our neighbor as ourselves that's the one I have a problem with so pray for me dear girl and thank you for your great words
Isabel it is refreshing to see a young person like you to be so in touch with your thoughts striving to live such a simple life. And feeling so blessed. I learned a very long time ago that the greatest gifts I ever received were no bought at wal mart, but were the values that parents taught to me. And without my evening knowing it at the time.

It is wonderful that you live in a country that is free and allows you to seek out whatever you define as happiness. That being said, everyone needs a productive purpose in life. Your existence simply cannot be experiencing nature, spending time with family friends, and sharing emotions. You look negatively at "consuming", yet you consume everyday and everywhere you go. Maybe less so, but you still do. You need to provide a service /product to others to be part of society. You can choose to only "work" part-time and maximize leisure time, but you still need to have that in your life. You need it to be whole. I hope you find your purpose and you love doing it. Best of luck in your search!
A guy like me could fall in love with a girl like you, Isabel. I love love love your vibe! Keep being You, beautiful :)
If i was a guy ide say the same thing😂
I took a two week road trip with my friend to visit national parks and it was the happiest I’ve ever been. I came back and people told me I looked HAPPIER. That was the best compliment I’ve ever heard in my life! If I was financially stable, I would live the way I truly want.
Love your philosophy of life, to be so young you have awsome insight.

Finding the balance between where we are and where we want to be, is never ending. I think that is a good thing for most people. Keep moving forward.
Very little do we realise that every single thing we are doing or looking up to doing in our lives is so TEMPORARY. Nothing last as we presume to be.

@@palau23321 You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! I SO AGREE, 110%!! THAT is the void in EVERY human being's life!! HE IS THE ONLY ONE that fulfills that PLACE!! We were created by HIM AND FOR HIM! YES CHRIST IS OUR ANSWER!! And we DO have to step away from this sinful world and TURN TO HIM! EVEN when you DO give your life fully over to HIM, HE SHOWS YOU THE TRUTH OF HIMSELF AND THAT WAYS OF THIS WORLD THAT ARE NOT OF HIM!!!! And YES you DO enjoy the things of this world, the simplicities, NATURE, other brothers and sisters that we truly all our to each other, friendships and relationships that are built through HIM! OUR King is AMAZING and He is just waiting on you and I to CALL upon HIS NAME and ask WHO HE IS, and see Whom He is cause HE WILL show himself unto you! He is ALWAYS there and HAS LOVED YOU from the very beginning! HE laid down His LIFE for you to pay for your sin debt IN FULL! HES MADE that way to YOU! He only wants you to surrender and ACCEPT HIM! To receive SUCH that BLESSED and HOLY GIFT of SALVATION! HE IS the answer to LIFE and ETERNAL LIFE - Our final HOME - AMEN!
Hey.. you are definitely not alone in that feeling. Your video is beautiful, its real, its raw and full of grace.. it spoke to me deeply.. expressing what sits and stirs in my heart.. many years back I was made redundant from my job.. that was on a Friday by the Monday I had a backpack packed, and I was on a Long distance trail, across The Scottish Mountains.. I entered those mountains as one person and left as another... Stripped everything back to the bare bones.. less is always more.. . Isabel thank you for reflecting what is good and great in this world.. Keep Shining x
My Beautiful Wife gave me a feeling of completeness she was my sole mate . I lost her to cancer she was 46 i was mentally crippled for 5 years it really left a big hole were my sole used to be . Sometimes i wonder will i ever be happy again .
I'm truly sorry for your loss man . . . must be so difficult?
this was sad to read.. losing someone is the hardest and getting out of grief is not an easy road. Just keep in mind that she would've wanted you to be happy. start doing things that she liked or wanted to do maybe that will keep you in touch with her. or maybe do a good deed for her soul.. idk.. sending you love
@@rebeloca6657 thank you very much god bless
So deeply touched with your loss Raymond. I'm sorry brother. I really am. I pray that somehow God will bless you with tremendous peace and that His Spirit washes over you and you gain a new sense of your wife's presence. There's NOTHING in this world that could ever replace what you lost, I understand. A gift so deep that it's literally part of you. I too, have a great friend, in my wife. I just pray somehow God will help fill the void and give you unspeakable peace in your heart.
@@chrisharrell5945 thanks chris!
You’re not alone! I feel the constant pull/tug and inner turmoil for that balance. I found a more seasonal job, saved $, and recently went full time rv life. Work life is draining but a necessity, unless you go completely off grid and fully self sustainable. Definitely is the ultimate goal for me. Love your videos and all that you stand for! Truly a kind & wise soul you are.
Thank you for this video, I really want a life like that too, I wish there was some little town somewhere where I could just show up and work and earn enough to stay, and to be welcomed and invited. I tried looking online but I couldn't find it! Ahhh, dang, jokes on me. LOL! Let me know if you find a community like that on ur journey!
Then search no more. Come to Marshall NC. 28753. I love living this life and would be more than happy to help anyone else get started. Just ask for river bill. Every one knows me.
@@billmahgaha3884 Thank you!
Deep down I feel that most people don't know what they want, but simply need love, connection and understanding and its hard to find here in the city due to the amount of distractions. Hopefully as one people we find the true path to happiness and love.
I don’t think it always matters what steps you take in the first instance...as long as you do something. Often when you take some form of action, you’re presented with new ideas and you find new concepts that resonate with you. Then you can focus your energy on those things and if you do it in a sustainable, consistent way, the change you’re looking for will come
Wise beyond your years!!! I think as you get older (im55) you become uber conscious of your mortality and the path your clearing verses the wide open road it used to be. I'm on that journey, my kids are through college and starting their own adult lives. I'm single 55 and feel 35, I go where I want to go and see what needs to be seen! Fortunately I am somewhat financially stable and can afford to live this nomadic lifestyle. I can rely on what I have to get started and live comfortably on my monthly income that I have earned in my career as a regular "joe smoe". For the last 30 years I've been consumed by 56 hour work weeks, deadlines, keeping up with them jones's and parental responsibilities. I saw first hand in a city called Floyd, in Virginia and there where alot of 25-35 year olds living this modest lifestyle and I was excited. Some were starting families and others were living "free"! I've always had that hippie spirit in me and now i can keep on trucking. So I know there is so much to learn yet! So keep your chin up and be safe and I hope I run into a few of you on the road ahead.
Nope not alone with those feelings at all as long as you are part of the conscious Awakening
Hey Isabel, I do, we do feel the same - you aren’t alone and I know this is an old video but since I discovered you I want to watch your journey from the beginning - I’m 44, I discovered meditation at 42 and I have a family, wife and children - you are spot on, the memories we shall cherish are those of time together with loved ones and I’m taking inspiration from you to transform our way of life, to minimise, de clutter, do without and be together in nature as often as possible - I’m going to enjoy working my way through your videos.

You are really beautiful ❤️
There's one thing I wish I could share with everyone who thinks that leaving the city and living in the wilderness will bring you happiness, because I did exactly that, and I still didn't find happiness. Matter of fact, nothing I've ever done brought me lasting contentment except for one thing: Jesus Christ. I used to think of Christians as a little misguided and narrow minded, but I began to seek God for who He really is, and He began to work in me. For many years, I sought God in buddhism, hinduism, new age...He showed me that they're all lies. The Bible actually warns us about the doctrines of man and the traditions of the world, warning us not to let ourselves be deceived by them. These are defined at the end of the verse as as any system that does not preach the gospel of Christ. That is, Christ crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins.
I'm telling you guys, Jesus Christ is real, and He is Lord. The Bible says that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess He is Lord (paraphrase). Don't let yourself declare Him to be Lord only when it is too late. Repent, for His kingdom is coming. The day of judgement is coming. He has NEVER turned someone away who came to repentance. Even I, who grew up in a Christian home but loved the world and went my own way; when I came to the cross in earnest, and repented and asked forgiveness, He accepted me, just as the father accepted the prodigal son.
The sufferings of the present moment are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who are in Christ Jesus. But I reckon as well that the joys of the present moment are nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits those who will continue to harden their hearts against The Lord. There are only two kingdoms in this world: The kingdom of darkness, and The Kingdom of God. You are for one or the other, there is no middle ground. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory at calvary, but it's up to you to believe. The Bible says, to paraphrase: repent of your sins (turn from them, ask forgiveness), and believe in Jesus Christ, and you SHALL be saved. Hallelujah! All praise be to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever!
Love that you aske questions from us on finding answers to some important questions: Why I am here? What is my purpose? How can I live free without being indebted to the world? We do attach ourselves to the material things and pleasures of the world ... love working with others to break this tiring cycle we are stuck in. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I used to live in Port Angeles, but never was out to Cape Flattery. Keep seeking the Truth. Believe in God: ASK him to show your the way....
Every questions you’ve asked are the questions that I’m asking myself now. Freedom and Peace is what I seek. I have a son and I don’t want him to be attached to social media and society of feeling he needs expensive material things to live. Watching your videos helps me to see that there is more to life than what we know. You are helping so many other people out there. Continue to keep pushing and being a great inspiration to everyone.
Peace and freedom and love fresh air❤️

Yes I feel the same! But I try to everyday of my life, to do the work that I truly enjoy. After work, I am on a trail running or hiking. Weekends filled with surfing or snowboarding. I live a different life each season, as each season anticipating and finally experiencing a soft snowfall, hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding. And I go as often as possible, sharing these experiences with friends. Then another season, brings me to backpacking, kayaking, surfing, mountain biking, all depending on the season. I enjoy spring, summer and fall as well, and experience each moment. Remember to enjoy each day, as it is a gift, that is why it is called the "present". Enjoy it! Where ever you are, enjoy it. Even if its taking a walk to enjoy a sunset. Or after a hike or surfing, make an amazing dinner at a campfire in the woods or on the beach. You are very awesome!
Eddie vedder is an amazing artist!
im literally so glad i came on this account to see somebody who does the thing in life i desire most; may your life be fulfilled with joy and health😊

So weird listening to you! I appreated you years ago and still appreate you today. Weird because I am very happy I accomplished all my goals as far as home, just never accomplished getting out in nature as much as I thought I have. Amazing how listening to you made me think about how a non expensive life style could be what's actually expensive! That's really odd to me! I will be traveling after I get my home in order. I am rebuilding a vehical and waiting for some parts. That would help alot. Then I have to be creative and think about how to bring my family along! Thanks for your kind words! I'm sure you help alot of people! I didn't grow up overly involved in technology. My best times where looking outside of that! Human connection is something that gets stolen from. We are capable of so much!
I feel the same
Your letter is a wake-up call for every one to live simply in nature surrounded by it's beauty. I had struggle all my life with my life and I am stuck with every stress that included. I cried so much when I listen to your message through this video because I want to change my life but I just I couldn't .... I couldn't. Every time I put an effort for a thing it turns to be a mess again in my life. Nothing works with me, literally nothing. I don't know how I could change my life, even I am trying so hard but the country that I am living in is the total mess of my life and now they are torturing us to give us the passport to leave. How about that struggle that we are living everyday besides that the expensive living that we can barely afford, plus there is no work at all. We are living in a death place and we are a dead people even when we are alive.
If everyone lived like you, you would not have that car, that coffee grinder, that phone for recording your adventure. Not everyone can do this.
I am sooo glad I stumbled across your youtube channel today... I have felt this way for years not knowing what was missing or why I felt so empty and lost. I too get lost in the ways of society and do not agree that a going to school and essentially wasting away your life with a 9-5 job. You've literally put into words the emptiness i have been feeling and i thank you so much for that!! i wish you all the best
If we put our phones down, no one would watch your videos...!!!
Lol True so let's make a VIDEO to for Her !!!
Exactly. These kinds of people rely on video views to bring in revenue so they can continue to fund their lifestyle where they tell people to put down their phones. smh
Really, i'm sure most of her day is not spent on a phone or making videos, find a balance, that's the true secret of life!
Hi, actually I deleted youtube and instagram from my phone since I watched her previous video and I'm watching right now from my laptop. I think it's a little bit more about how mindful you are when you spend time on social media, I personally found that I'm addicted to mindless scroll and that's why I decided to delete the apps from my phone, now I came here exactly to watch more videos from her channel!. Just sharing a point of view, nice day everybody!
i watch on my tablet in the evening, it relaxes me
I’m so obsessed with your vibe and how and where you live I have watched all your videos about 5 times each it never gets boring! 100% my favourite you tuber , you inspire me x
Do you work or just hang out everyday? If we all lived like this we would have no food, shelter or anything.
Hey as long as you got someone else to pay for it.... nooooo problem.
Your videos and watching you gives me peace in my soul. You are very beautiful... it's so nice to see someone that values the things that are truly important in life.
you need Christ! He is the fulfillment and purpose in life you are longing for
Filling a lack of purpose with an imaginary friend is like eating empty calories every day. It might work for some people that can maintain the delusion, but most honest and introspective people have to face the fact that they’ve been living a lie and feeding themselves a diet of bullshit. It’s a sad path to travel if you value truth and clarity.
I agree. The only thing that will give you the fulfillment you desire is having God in your life
I'm starting this series, feeling like you made my dream come true when i was 18.
Right now i'm 25 and lost, thanks for the hope, you made me remember some core memories.
I highly doubt you know anything about a "lonely world" .
Growing up in a city I always thought that I would continue to live my life in the city; It gave me a sense of stability and independence. But then I went away to school and I was suddenly surrounded by forests and gorges and wanted nothing more than to frolic in nature, filled with the joy that I see you filled within the mountains. I sat in the forest one day, alone, and listened to everything around me. At first, I was nervous, hearing the acorns drop, twigs snap, animals around me calling out, but as I kept going I realized that the silence was what was jarring. I was so used to police sirens and bright lights that I never got a chance to sit alone and absorb, not consume, all that was around me in a natural way. I loved it and will continue to do it as much as I can.
Totally with you divine sister! It’s beautiful to see so many like minded people beginning to connect and recognize each other. Please continue sharing your wonderful thoughts and reflections and showing your freedom ❤️
I'm 51, I never liked my jobs and every day is like groundhogs day. Same 💩 different day but watching you and Hannah brings that adventurous side out in all of us.
i’m moving to the mountains alone in a month and i just found your channel. your so beautiful inside and out. you’re right we aren’t living life fully when we are just stuck inside in our phone. i’m excited and you inspire me. i feel like we’d be such good friends 🏔 thanks for your amazing videos 🌸
Isabel you touch me deeply and bring out the incredible desire of my soul... I feel deep sadness, cause I am not living yet how I truly intend to.
Thanks for being with me on my journey of searching my place in this world
Lots of love
Same!
@@eelkev.8547 we will eventually get there! Wish you all the best on your journey to your best self and the life that is waiting for you!
Joy Snow thank you so much! That really makes me feel better!
@@eelkev.8547 i am very glad Elke 🙏💐 keep on dreaming and believing as well as figuring out, what exactly you want ❤️
Before watching this video I was just saying almost word for word how you were feeling is how I feel. It's nice to know I'm not alone, I've started my own business and have been saving up to move across the country this past year and I really want to thank you for inspiring me. You make me feel like I'm capable and it truly is possible, after seeing how much you've grown I'm so excited for the future and I genuinely want to thank you again for sharing your journey. 🤗🤗🤗
I am really glad I found your channel. I’m going to try to keep this real short because I could go on and on about what being out in nature does for me. I’m not religious but also am not against religion but I have often described as the woods as my sanctuary because it is where I am at my most peace. Raising and spending time with my daughter is my most precious moments but unfortunately as she turned 13 this year, lol I lost my partner in crime with going on trips together. I knew at some point it would happen but her growing and having her own friends in its own is a bright highlight because it shows that she is growing into her own but still and will always have the love for animals, birds, critters, etc. I’ve done youtube for five years (Changed channels 3 different times) but recently switched to Facebook as I found less competition and more views there to here. With what I do, felt like I became a small fish swimming in a big pond. Awesome videos and I really am looking forward to catching up to the current videos. Your definitely an inspiration and maybe if I can break away from the nervousness of talking with the camera facing me, I can bring more of a variety to my videos and explain what it all means to me. Keep up the beautiful work, its refreshing. Be safe
Isabel I feel like your thoughts are the thoughts of an inner goddess... A natural beauty of this earth. I feel the earth wasn't made for a 9-5 or a rat race it was created to LOVE and LIVE naturally in this natural earth. I have just came across you and I thank the powerful force for it.. I am sooooo happy for you and your journey is incredible... I love to see more people becoming free to go live with OUR mumma.. Nature!!! Blessings sister have a wonderful life 💛✌️🌿🌼🌻🍃😆
The feelings you are having are perfectly natural, how it was meant to be, stay in touch with your inner spirit you have an inner light that is burning brighter every day... I am 50 years old and wish I had what you have, you are a free spirit that can't be chained, you carry on doing what you feel... God Bless you child...
You're on to something bigger than you know. I myself have not experienced any kind of joy and fulfillment like fulfilling my God given purpose which can change at different moments in time and things are only a season. You're not alone I'm going through the wilderness and a desert at this moment in time taking time to heal and I choose to believe the best is yet to come and I can relate to finances and most of the time I must do my part and he does more. I've been praying you find what makes you truly happy and brings you the most fulfillment joy and peace of mind. Keep making great content and doing everything you enjoy girl. Cheers.
Beautiful Video Isabel 🏄♂️🌻🌞 I know you posted it some months ago but I had to send you a compliment because I really enjoyed it and loved your thoughts. When we’re connected to nature is when we are closest to God the source of everything. It’s so true that we all have been enslaved to Debt in a broken financial system that only benefits a very few running the Central Banking System. There are many signs that the old financial system is coming to an end very soon and I’m hoping that this will usher in NESARA, the “National Economic Security And Reformation Act”. If this Law is activated we will all have what it takes financially to live the life that you describe in your video. Hey I love that you surf 🏄♀️ I’ve surfed for many decades and still love it every time I paddle out. Sending you Love and Light ✌️❤️🌞
I've been looking at your older videos, to be able to understand all the way you've made until here... and this one is a great one! A big vision of yourself and the world! thank you for sharing it! you're not alone, we are here to inspire by being true to ourselves. It's not easy for the moment, but thanks to those like you, it will be soon very accessibble for more people! god bless you sister!
Isabel, I 💖 your videos, they are an inspiration and hopefully a motivation to many in this crazy world we are living in right now! As bright and resourceful that you are, you are going to go far in life! I wish the best for you and that you will find that true partner that has the same views and treats you the way you should be treated with great Respect and Love! God Bless and Stay safe!
