Ashley’s a single girl living in an apartment by herself with no pets in nyc, with her famiy being miles and miles away. She copes with it well, and that’s very inspiring.
I’ve just realised after like 2+ years of following her what makes Ashley’s videos so good, especially her vlogs - she manages to make ordinary life look both real and idyllic. her content reminds me of a studio ghibli film, romanticising the little things in her life and making me want to do ordinary things because it looks so comforting and peaceful. I really value that 💗
i just discovered her the other day and i like how humble and self-aware she is. i also think her honesty and openness about her thoughts and feelings is refreshing, and it makes her relate-able, cause a lot of people actual are thinking and feeling similar things. i just see a lot of her thoughts and feelings mirrored in myself
For real! I see myself in her so much and she inspired me and gave me a sense of hope. I struggle with depression and quarantine hasn’t been helping with that either.. but finding out about her channel and her videos made me feel like I can do it, becoming a freelance photographer and videographer. She really does help people 💕
I was thinking the exact same thing. She put into words what a lot of us have been feeling during this whole process. I really appreciate this realistic a authentic content. Lots of love and support for y'all from Puerto Rico!
i just love how open and comfortable ashley is with her viewers,, she’s always talking seriously about how she feels and what’s going on in her head with no filter just the whole truth,,, and it makes me see her not as a relatable youtuber on the internet but as real human being just like everyone else,,, which is so hard regarding other creators
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction?wprov=sfla1 Edit for clarity: Please don't get so wrapped up in fake relationships that you forget to take care of your real life. TH-cam prioritizes content creators who try to build these kinds of "relationships" because they keep you on the platform, and most youtubers just create the kind of content they want, completely oblivious to the harm they're causing. So please take care of yourself and look for relationships in the real world! ☺️
Christ alive u are like the people who think they know everything about a person just by watching their vids, and if the killed someone you would be fine lmaoo
Ashley should start a podcast. Like holy shit, she’s so good at like simple conversation and it would be really interesting to see all of her opinions on everyday things and stuff like that.
How is it that every word out of her mouth is relatable and is consequently comforting? Her videos are the only ones I watch all the way through without skipping. I'm literally sad when they end lmao, only Ashley, I swear.
ashley literally just chillin in the shower having a whole conversation with us about a centipede🥺 love the energy edit: love you angels these are hard times so stay strong
The extreme amount of confidence required to not only put yourself on the internet as a Personality for ppl to buy into via subscribing, but also the extreme anxiety of putting yourself out there to be judged by several million ppl (imagine first date/party with like 2 ppl u know and amp it up to 1000000% lol) I'm guessing?
my mom died almost three years ago and one of her fav things was her lil rainbow crystal she would hang our sunniest window. every time she could, she would stand there twirling it and looking at all the rainbows it cast into our house. we lost her crystal when we moved out of our house, but this vid reminded me of those little rainbows she loved so much, and i already ordered two for myself and my siblings. thank you for this special little reminder
You have such a profound way of perfectly capturing what it’s like to be alive in your videos and I don’t know how or why but you have just a perfect way of putting everything and it makes me contemplate a lot which is the best thing that a TH-cam video can do
pov: its 2022, the pandemic is still ongoing, and you miss ashley's videos so you keep going back to her old videos to rewatch them cus they bring you comfort
Same this video actually made me cry, but in a good way, I fell like she captures the felling of the pandemic perfectly. And seing her being so vunerable, and just herself in her videos makes me so happy, and I really admire her bravery. She is just inconic💕
@@estherlise It's strange watching this video, filmed right when the pandemic started. Two years into the pandemic and there has been so much lost. It makes me sad thinking of what the world was like before all of this started.
Cheyenne Domingo i just watched the half of it, and the director herself described ellie chu as “the protagonist that doesn’t even know it”! i highly recommend it :)
I love how she was casually talking about a bug while showering, like the entire vibe was so chill???? it felt like she was one of my girl friends who was catching up with me
the "sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back" is literally what I've been struggling with for 2 years. For the past two years til now, I feel like I'm not really alive. Time just passes by while I watch it. Even when something exciting happens in my life I spend the whole time stressing myself out by trying to "live in the moment" and end up not enjoying anything. It's a real struggle and it's very comforting to see that I'm not the only one struggling with this c':
The past has gone and there is nothing we can do about it except let it go. We often remind ourselves or are reminded by others how we haven't been productive in the past but always remember everyday is a new day and every new day is a new opportunity. If you miss a subway you take the another one. But before anything forgive yourself for the past and heal. It's never too late to start. You might think life is too short to be taking time for yourself but life doesn't have be long it needs to be big and you can make it big on your terms and at your own speed. Even when you are stuck you are very much alive, just take the time to rest. Don't be so hard on yourself. Sending love your way.
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." This hit so hard. For a while now, I've been thinking that somehow I have this innate flaw, or was always bound to creatively 'peak' too early. I look back at my writing and the way I captured my ideas when I was younger and there is so much more vibrancy to the, as If I had a zeal that I somehow now lost. Feels good to know I am not the only one to feel like this from time to time. thank you.
this is so real!! as a writer i completely get this, it's so hard to feel like you have somehow lost a part of you that you can't express. i hope you are able to find that passion again. have an amazing day
Covid-19 is a lie. I mean, it exists, but the numbers are being exaggerated. No one knows anyone who even has it! People have been testing the covid test kits on fruits, and they are testing positive! Literally! And, Japan is fine. Ain’t nothing bad happened to Japan. It’s just an excuse to keep people in their homes! But seriously people, don’t take my word for it. Do your own research. Because god knows we all have the time and energy to do actual research.
anyone else appreciate the small cinematic clips of her filming herself through a mirror like when she was picking out clothes and getting ready?? also i feel like ashley is a girl in a coming of age film the way she edits her videos 🥺
People don’t tend to realize how much work goes into making content, even if she doesn’t post constantly. Let us all hope that she will be as happy with herself as we are of her hard work.
Even though she isn't posting anymore on yt, SHE'S EDITING VIDEOS AND ADS FOR GUCCI AND OTHER FANCY ASS BRANDS! I hope she realizes that we're happy for her and support her no matter what❤
I cried at that part where there was a couple stopping by to say "hi" to their friend and was like "i wish i had some friends who'd stop by for me like that" 😢
Aw you guys are loved and it’s sweet that you do the checking in. So this is me saying Hi! Checking in on you guys from the comment section :) -random friend on the internet
i dont know why but im just sitting here crying about how crazy this virus is and how weird its making life, but how normal life is. ashley still posts, im still alive, i still have friends. i'm so fortunate to be safe and this video just made me happy, so so happy.
i feel the same way! its been so crazy the last months and its to easy to forget how fortunate alot of us are. and its nice to see ashley post and just giving us her good vibes. i love it
Reoz how do you know there's a deadly virus out there? please don't tell me it's because a well dressed newswoman on a television set told you so? Do you have a degree in Virology? have you ever personally conducted a postmortem on one of the "covid19 victims" and analyzed their tissue/organ/cell/urine/feces sample under a microscope in your own laboratory? without empirical laboratory evidence you cannot simply claim that a biological organism exists.
I don't know why, or maybe I know but just not how to put it into words, but that scene on the ending, when she was baking cookies, dancing and singing along, changing her sheets, with her thoughts at the bottom, and the song's lyrics being clearly heard---that hit differently. I felt that.
I am a 54 year old living with a husband and 3 kids (one home from college) and although my life is so very different from yours, I can totally relate with your emotions. The pandemic, whether with family or not has been truly stressful and life changing for everyone. Awesome video. I can’t believe I’ve been binge watching you. Your delightful.
I’ve been wondering for what feels like ages, “how is Ashley bestdressed doing? Is she well? How’s her mental health? Is she wearing her mask?” And now I know!
The whole mask-wearing thing in the US is so weird. In Australia, we have been recommended that only healthcare professionals and sick people or people who are really high risk get masks. Anything other than an N95 doesn't really help you, just means you're gonna touch your face more... And *touch wood* we've dealt with the pandemic pretty well compared to the US where it seems like such a shitshow. It seems horrific over there. :(
@@maijakelly8335 In NYC you can't go into stores without one. I wear fabric ones with filters & also disposable ones. It'll help keep me safe from others that are sick & vice versa incase I'm sick and don't know it. Our spit travels, and can stay in the air for hours, so something is better than nothing. I love how Australia & New Zealand did a great job. Unfortunately you see who's in charge in the US so we're f*cked. I've ordered some fun fabric masks on Etsy & other sites, so if I have to wear them, at least make it fashionable with Marvel, Disney & other designs. :)
it’s amazing how this pandemic started at the worst time for everyone. so many people were so close to getting their shit together and being content with their life and then BOOM HERE’S ROOOONNNNAAAA.
@@emericcson123 oh my gosh me too! I had just moved from the bay in California to Manhattan in December. I was finally feeling at home and like my life was going the way I wanted when Rona hit. I moved back to Cali in March to crash with my Mom and am also unemployed. Been really difficult but I try to stay grateful that I was able to get out of the city and can be close to family right now.
I am watching this 2022 and now looking at a 20 something girl staying alone at home and finding joy in baking cookies and singing along to old playlists makes me tear up... because even though the pandemic has calmed down... I still relate to this video. Nothing much has changed, everyone's still lonely, life is fucked up and the pandemic just helped us to realize all of that... I love you Ashley and I hope you are happier
her saying that she's lost her zest for life and she's trying to get it back makes me feel the weirdest sadness because she is like the coolest zestiest person I've ever seen. like if she's lost it than I know I have. I really love these videos, even just little snippets into the "mundane", because she is the least mundane person. idk
Being able to express it is also a sign of her openness. Most ppl feel this way but just don't take any time to reflect - hence just carry on doing meaningless things because society tells them it's the "normal, healthy thing" to do. And then probably have a mid-life crisis
She mentioned not having much of a role model on youtube but she is exactly who i aspire to be. Out of all the ppl i watch shes the one that makes me feel comfortable in myself and my abilities. Everything she says is smth that i take to heart and agree with tremendously.
Agreed! She's so real, authentic, and unapologetically herself. I aspire to have her self-confidence and determination. She tries her best to make slow progress to love herself more, be more productive, be kinder to others. And I adore that. She's a flawed human being trying to be a better person but also embracing a lot of the flaws she cannot change, and I couldn't ask for more in a role model!
I live in China and I feel like there are so many down to Earth philosophically grounded people here. You can check out my vlogs and vids if you're interested.
i don't know why but this video just gives me so much comfort. like every time everything gets really hard and just too much i watch this video and i always feel better at least for those 20 minutes :)
When Ashley said: "do I like that my self esteem is that based on my appearance? No. But does it still somehow make me feel a lot better to like actually get ready and style my hair? Yes." I felt that 😭😭
@@leahjohnson4880 I didn't think God would ever answer me either (being an atheist), but, He did. It's not a matter of one's "goodness", it's a matter of one's need. In this time especially, imho. But, peace and
You need to stop comparing yourself to others. I know it sounds soooo cliche, but its true. For example im 24 and basically i only have my degree (in a month or so) and if i compare myself to you then i would think that im a piece of shit and ive wasted my whole life. But no. My life is different, ive met different people, grown in a different envrironment etc. Someone else success doesnt mean that your success is any worse. Hang in there, its gonna be fine.
Shit i didn’t realize how much ive been needing to read something like this. You know it in the back of your mind but it’s easy to get caught up in what other ppl have... I still haven’t finished college and in the past few years I haven’t accomplished most of what i wanted to. It’s a strange time; just trying to find peace within myself and not be so hard on myself.
I tell my husband this all the time! You grow up a certain way, and with access to things others may not have. You may always try to compare yourself to your best friend who is the same age as you. But you took different paths and had different opportunities in life than that other person. You can’t compare your achievements, or where you are in life because of the different paths you took. It’s definitely hard to get in that mindset. I still compare myself to others, but try to get in the mindset of how we took different paths and had different opportunities in life. I’m 26 and still trying to get into this mindset. Hang in there everyone 💜
Yes indeed! I was also like "awh, dont feel lonely, were hanging out now" (: and then it got to me that I wasnt exactly in the room with her but it felt so much like it ❤
the music in the back gives me major “coming of age” movie vibes, but then again ashley’s whole channel is basically a real time coming of age movie, love her
I miss watching this for the first time, this was and still is one of my favourite videos of all time. Thank you for making this video Best Dressed. It will be something I'll come back to for years to come and will cry every time it ends
oh my god, this was the best vlog i've ever watched. i have no idea why, maybe the music, but it just felt so close to home, alive. you're so talented and beautiful to be able to make an audience feel this way with a 20-minute vlog. damn.
@@ellenjohnson3361 I know from the second, it's lauv! I've been loving some music from him recently! glad that Ashley uses his music because it fits so much!
there's something about the raw honesty in your videos that feels so "normal" and "un-youtube like" that it's so refreshing and relatable, I love it. AND THE LYCHEE JELLY CUPS. THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
Ashley I don't know if you are gonna read this but you honestly inspire me and I am sure a lot of young women out there. I am 20 years old but I am no where as successful as you are. You are so genuine. I could watch you speaking all day. The words you have said have inspired and helped me so much. This video made me realize that everyone has their own problems. I have also been feeling weird during this time like I can't explain but this video helped me.Take care of yourself and keep up the great work Ashley ♡.
wabi- sabi, i’m a highschool student and she feels like the older sister i never had! she’s so down to earth and unafraid to talk abt things girls feel. she makes me motivated & inspired as well
this video is so homey and cozy i always come back to it when im stressed or unsure about life. ashley is such a wonderful person. i would take a lego to the foot to be her friend
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." Thats hits hard. But same. Feels good to know I'm not alone. Thank you for honest and raw content. ♡
Sabrah Beason ofc ur not alone . What u need is to find ur purpose of this life . Just like our Body needs nourishing , our soul needs nourishment too .
They really do...it’s aesthetic but it also seems very real, somehow? That’s what I love about her videos. They’re aesthetic but still maintain a sense of reality.
i know no one is ever going to see this comment, but i always end up crying when i watch ashley’s videos. she’s just so real and honest and relatable but not in a basic way. i just feel like she’s my older sister teaching me slowly how shitty life is but also how beautiful it can be. i wish she had a cat with her for company. i just love ashley so much, after finishing every video i’m like, man, it’s time i unsub from miranda sings. i’m only going to watch life changing youtube from here on out. you’re a good person ashley, if you’re reading this. i love you :)
I saw this comment and yes, I do so, she is honest and just herself. I think that's smg that not many youtubers show and that's why Ashley's videos just touch everyone
dang, i like how so honest she is when she talks- even if shes just talking to a camera. i appreciate knowing that i could get amazing advice from her and feel like i rlly have someone to talk/relate to. thanks, ashley
“We’re never alone but always depressed.” That lyric hit me hard watching this video while doing my laundry too. Storytime lol: I was in the US for an internship but the company had to send me home because of the pandemic. Sad thing is I wasn’t able to go straight home to my city and see my family because there are no domestic flights in my country. Now I’m stuck here in a place I’m unfamiliar with, living in a house with people I barely know (still appreciate them for taking me in) and spending most of my time alone, thinking about what ifs (mostly negative what ifs, very unhealthy lol). It’s just that I was happier where I was at before it all got taken away. Ashley’s vlog makes me feel less alone with the things i’m going through. Ps. stay safe everyone!
Oh man. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I can’t even imagine not being able to go home. I am sending you positive vibes your way! You getting through this puts things into perspective for me and I am hoping life returns to normal for you, and just in general ya know? Take care❤️
everytime i watch this video i get smacked in the face with nostalgia. Brings me back to when i would stay in my room and paint with your videos in the background during quarantine. please post again ashley ❤. your videos made such a huge impact on me
It really hit me when she started talking about being quarantined completely alone and seeing other people with their families or partners. I am also alone in a different city than my family.
I was literally crying when his music came on, I've been watching Ashley since before 50k and have been listening to Lauv for over 3 years and seeing both how both of them grew so much in that time and the little combination and my brain is racing quite a bit now lol, but like it's how when ur kids are all grown up like that saying is how I feel 🥺
When I tell you I teared up at the friends “visiting” their friends by standing outside the apartment and saying hi. I can’t even imagine it. Actually the whole city of NYC looking so bleak and empty. I live in NC and it’s definitely not like that here, even when we were all supposed to stay inside, the streets were still pretty full. I haven’t seen my friends face to face in a while, but I’ve seen a lot of people, so it’s so surreal.
Marisol Russell i live in nc too and feel like everyone here is so ignorant and it’s so annoying, everywhere i go people are hugging their friends and taking off their masks when they get inside stores when employees aren’t around
Dude it is def way more quite (and slow) but I wouldn't say it's bleak. People are still going outside in NYC. People are being really conscious of social distancing but the streets are still filling with masked ppl taking walks on sunny days. Restaurants are open for pick up. Parks, including Central Park, are open and filled with ppl (ofc still at a safe distance). The city is hurting but it's resilient!
started crying when I saw those people passing by their friend’s apartment to say hi :’( i live in east village, which is usually so lively, and seeing it so still and quiet breaks my heart. for someone living in nyc, i miss nyc. stay safe, ashley! here for you 💛
Ok in a few years when people start making movies about this period of time, I definitely can see a lot of this in one. Like when you were doing the 7pm cheer. I don’t know why but that was so emotional.
I was really worried watching a "quarantine" vlog would make me feel worse but oh my god I feel so much less alone after watching this. the whole process of figuring life out again is so crazy I'm glad to know I'm not the only one struggling and finding new ways to be okay.
I started sobbing watching this, it was just so beautiful and thoughtful and I've been in such a depression slump with being unable to get out of bed and sleeping for 12+ hours and this inspired me to leave my room, take a shower and bake a cake. Ashley, if you're reading this, I can't thank you enough.
When I read this I literally heard this guy's voice in my head, continuing with "five feet apart cause they're not gay". I definitely saw this too often lol
This video is so soothing, it makes me wanna cry I dont even know why. and I love and admire and adore ashley so freaking much, felt so bad when she was talking about how she wasnt doing okay mentally. I hope youre doing great now, Ashley.
I've been alone in quarantine 51 days by myself because of recent heart surgery and an autoimmune condition. If I get sick, I'll probably die. People have been so helpful with grocery shopping and picking up my RX, but they never stay more than one minute - even if we're both wearing masks and are more than 12 feet apart. I walk my dog and so I see other humans, but I don't have face-to-face conversations. It's really getting to me and today is my birthday. I've invited my friends - and everyone on Facebook who sees my posts -- to drive up and honk or wave at me. I've also asked for someone to bring me a balloon. Initially, since I live on the second floor of a two-family house (nobody lives downstairs now), I thought I might throw cake at people who come to wish me Happy Birthday (I am 66 today), but then thought that might come across as hostile. So instead, I've made a big colorful sign that says, "It's My Birt'day" and I'll just wave during my calling hours, which will be noon to 2 p.m. (it's freakin' freezing here in Connecticut). I had to laugh about what Ashley says about showering. I have a piece of paper taped to my bathroom wall so I can check and see when is the last time I showered. I can kind of tell by how gross my hair gets. My record without a shower so far is 10 days - eeewwwww. But usually I shower the morning of my phone-call appointment with my therapist, which is once a week. Because we can see each other, I also put on makeup, earrings and a fresh outfit. Otherwise, I find it difficult to put any effort into my appearance. But listening to Ashley, I feel like I want to shower and dress up every day from now on, because it might help me from going completely bonkers. Once it actually turns into Spring, I think I will wear only dresses - I have a LOT. And hats (also have a LOT). Ashley, as always, I find your honesty very refreshing. Thank you for making these videos.
The lyrics at the end "never alone, but always depressed" are ringing in my head even though I finished the video. I'm quarantined with my partner so it feels like everything should be awesome but the isolation blues just won't go away. Just know you're not alone. Thanks for making this.
I relate to this so much. I'm with my partner too and even though I am grateful to not be *physically* alone, I still very very emotionally alone with no one that really understands how my brain is working right now. Isolation just brings that out so much more.
I feel like this is the most human contact I’ve gotten that actually feels like a friend and that’s saying a lot cause i still see my friends everyday at work.
Your editing choice at 8:28 is exquisite. To let us linger with you for the beat after your voice breaks and the sudden bubbling up of your emotions caught you off guard was brave and beautiful and perfectly executed. Pre-lapping the audio of "I hung out with people..." ever so slightly like you did to bridge the cut was expert level.
Man!! I love her personality. Best thing about her is that she accepts herself the way she is or at least is moving in that direction. Power to you girl 💁♥
Extremely wholesome video- didn’t know I needed to hear that the depressive episodes and sprouts of irrational behavior are normal even though you’re still able to get stuff done and be happy sometimes
Savannah Hendrickse I'm Chinese, and I suggest you stay in isolation at home for at least three weeks and keep a social distance. We China is a responsible big country
I feel like I just watched a movie this was so well filmed and I'm not even someone who cares about the way the shots are taken, as long as I know whats going on idc, but I'm genuinely so impressed with how creative some of your shots are while still being nice to look at. I love how relatable you are especially since you're someone I look up to and seems very put together but it's nice to being able to relate:)
I'm 13 and I'm home alone all day every day, when my mum is actually home on the weekend she spends all day ignoring me. I know I am super privileged during these unprecedented times- I have a roof over my head and food and ways to contact people. I hate when people say things like "others have it worse, suck it up" or "at least you're not ___". Other people have it worse, and I truly feel terrible for people who do have it worse than me. However just beacuse you have these privileges, does not mean you have to be happy or enjoy this time. This is absolute shit. You are not a bad person for not being physically or mentally able to "suck it up". You are so very strong right now- no matter what situation you're in.
if you're really 13 , you are pretty damn mature girl, youll make it though dont worry too much. The situation with your mum sucks, maybe try to find things/activities that bring you joy on your own.
ffion oliver sending love your way. I’m sorry you have to spend this time alone but I gotta say, your perspective at 13 is way better than mine was. Kudos to you, this will all be over soon enough.
I don't have a youtube channel with millions of subscribers, I'm not in a career path that I love, and I definitely have zero fashion sense, yet this video is the most relatable window into life during coronavirus that I've seen so far. Ashley, thank you for being so honest, and showing people like me that we're not alone in how we feel.
Seems to me you're using your time in the best way. You have a healthy lifestyle - cooking, catching some sun, thinking, laundry, a few more creative activities like painting and gardening. In times like these, it's the little everyday habits that count. Keeping up with life is already a big thing. Please don't feel like you've wasted your time while you could be visiting, etc. You've made your brand new flat a home, and that takes a LOT of time and effort. A lot of people move into places, get caught up with work, and 6 months later they still haven't found the time to hang a poster on a wall. Your place looks lovely. Once quarantine is over, you will have all the time in the world to discover New York. Also, don't worry about productivity, for artists it's easy to feel guilty at a time like that and envious of seemingly more productive people (when really they're not, everybody just magnifies the little things they manage to do). No need to pressure yourself with stuff like "I'm stuck inside, I need to upload more than ever." You're a beautiful person, and you're gonna make it just fine. Thanks for making me smile :)
@elaine margot she thanked lauv in the description for letting her use his music:) so I'm guessing lauv gave her permission to do so without getting copyrighted

Ashley’s a single girl living in an apartment by herself with no pets in nyc, with her famiy being miles and miles away. She copes with it well, and that’s very inspiring.
captainmello I did it for like 2 weeks in NYC before having to move back to CA and woof it nearly broke me. Idk how she’s done it this long 😳
Ashley must have a LOT of battery powered vibrating toys!
She’s nOT SINGLE lol look at her fridge
Lilly ? She made a vid about being single late feb.
captainmello LOOK AT THE FRIDGE 15:57 👀 plus she said someone she likes recently visited her in NYC from LA
I’ve just realised after like 2+ years of following her what makes Ashley’s videos so good, especially her vlogs - she manages to make ordinary life look both real and idyllic. her content reminds me of a studio ghibli film, romanticising the little things in her life and making me want to do ordinary things because it looks so comforting and peaceful. I really value that 💗
Well said, Izzy!
her ability to see beauty in the little things yet also be like "what's the point of life" is really inspiring lmao
this comment is so spot on
omg so truee!! xx
i just discovered her the other day and i like how humble and self-aware she is. i also think her honesty and openness about her thoughts and feelings is refreshing, and it makes her relate-able, cause a lot of people actual are thinking and feeling similar things. i just see a lot of her thoughts and feelings mirrored in myself
Why does that fact that this girl on the internet talking to me from her shower feels so normal
RIGHT?! She makes it just feel okay in a way haha. If I did this I would be very fearful of a nipple "malfunction" with the curtain though...
Isabelle Natalya and i dont hate it
So true :-D, it's magic %).
Nam Phương. Oh my god yeah no it’s the coolest !
Lauren Liz hahah cutttt
Ashley, your job is not pointless. I actually had a pretty rough evening and I came back to rewatch this video. And it made me feel better.
omg literally me rn haha this video made me feel so much better
literally ive rewatched this so many times and it just makes me feel so happy and calm 🪴
I thought I was d only one re-watching this whenever I have a down days during fckn pandemic. Hope yall doing fine now like I do!
I love this comment. Saw it before even hitting play. Brought a tear to my eye.
Never emotional like this....wtf?!
Same rn
I don’t think Ashley realizes how many people she just helped by sharing her experience. Thankyou :)
Kacy Deyoe ikr omg
For real! I see myself in her so much and she inspired me and gave me a sense of hope. I struggle with depression and quarantine hasn’t been helping with that either.. but finding out about her channel and her videos made me feel like I can do it, becoming a freelance photographer and videographer. She really does help people 💕
yes
Facts!
I was thinking the exact same thing. She put into words what a lot of us have been feeling during this whole process. I really appreciate this realistic a authentic content. Lots of love and support for y'all from Puerto Rico!
i just love how open and comfortable ashley is with her viewers,, she’s always talking seriously about how she feels and what’s going on in her head with no filter just the whole truth,,, and it makes me see her not as a relatable youtuber on the internet but as real human being just like everyone else,,, which is so hard regarding other creators

Edit for clarity: Please don't get so wrapped up in fake relationships that you forget to take care of your real life. TH-cam prioritizes content creators who try to build these kinds of "relationships" because they keep you on the platform, and most youtubers just create the kind of content they want, completely oblivious to the harm they're causing. So please take care of yourself and look for relationships in the real world! ☺️
Christ alive u are like the people who think they know everything about a person just by watching their vids, and if the killed someone you would be fine lmaoo
@@debbieyedez1838 Christ alive you are like the people who are so disgusting they create a TH-cam channel just to make a nasty comment lmaoo
She is just talking to herself.
Yeah. Fap now already.
this Channel is not just best dressed anymore, it's best expressed..
Deep snaps
Myat Noe Paing “best dressed” or “most stressed” ah hah hah
OOH
yessir
love this
am I the only one who comes back to rewatch Ashley's old videos just because they motivate me and I miss seeing her on youtube
what I hv been doing for the last 3 hours
You are not alone friend. ❤️❤️
same!
Bruhh
i will literally have phases where i’m obsessed with ashley’s videos and cannot stop watching them
This vlog felt like facetiming a friend
It felt like facetiming a friend but much more aesthetic
@@Giulia-zx2ki What I want to achieve in life 😂
Ya :)
The fact that Lauv gave Ashley rights to use his music without being copyright striked.. it’s AMAZING WAOW LOOK AT OUR GIRL
That's because Lauv is love ❤
and thats why we stan lauv 💙
iconic tbh
Michelle Liu I was just about to comment... when Canada by Lauv came on I-
I thought the same thing!!
ashley feels like a warm friend that everyone needs
hey hanina jimineee
At some point when she smiled wide when she was doing her make up, she looked like Jungkook lol
hi ARMYs 💜
I feel like I’m on the safe side of TH-cam where we’re all just friends
Aww same ❤️
Friends on TH-cam Unite!
same omg
Ashley bringing everyone together, when we're all so far apart ☺
Sameeeee
Ashley should start a podcast. Like holy shit, she’s so good at like simple conversation and it would be really interesting to see all of her opinions on everyday things and stuff like that.
i third that
i’d love that sm🥺
The thing I didn’t know I needed
Leah Lovell agree, love the way she talk
Waiting for this to happen!
This feels like we’re in a sleepover but it’s the next day
kian sison omg the accuracy of this
Exactly what i was thinking 😂
how did you come up with this and why is it accurate-
omfg relate
kittercontrolbblove.link/Uu_RrSb43iwh
How is it that every word out of her mouth is relatable and is consequently comforting? Her videos are the only ones I watch all the way through without skipping. I'm literally sad when they end lmao, only Ashley, I swear.
Bill Nye the Russian Spy she is wise beyond her years
Same..🥺
Dude same
exactly how i feel🥺
Bill Nye the Russian Spy she’s got the charm that makes you want to sit through 25 min ad
i don’t think ashley knows how many of our lives she has touched and how many of our worlds have been transformed by her
Fr💛
literally i’ve adopted her as my older sister who gives me life advice
EXACTLY
ashley literally just chillin in the shower having a whole conversation with us about a centipede🥺 love the energy
edit: love you angels these are hard times so stay strong
nuh Lee nuh ikrrrr
wholesome content 🥺
YEAAH I feel like her's bestiee
nuh Lee nuh yes
That one part where Ashley is in the shower and we’re her friend just keeping her company in the bathroom.. reminds me of my childhood friendships.
Nicole Quintero yes! Also it reminded me of summer camps
Nicole Quintero hahaha yes such good times 😭
You’re right! I really miss that
You're so real, and I don't understand why this isn't more common.
Too many fake white quirky teenagers on TH-cam
The extreme amount of confidence required to not only put yourself on the internet as a Personality for ppl to buy into via subscribing, but also the extreme anxiety of putting yourself out there to be judged by several million ppl (imagine first date/party with like 2 ppl u know and amp it up to 1000000% lol) I'm guessing?
Who liked her just outta bed hair better?:)
Wtf don't put race in this shit it's all the shit same
Charlie KINGSTON she’s right and it’s always the privileged ones who say “keep race out of this blah blah”
throwback to when ashley’s sink wasn’t makeup storage
God I miss her
my mom died almost three years ago and one of her fav things was her lil rainbow crystal she would hang our sunniest window. every time she could, she would stand there twirling it and looking at all the rainbows it cast into our house. we lost her crystal when we moved out of our house, but this vid reminded me of those little rainbows she loved so much, and i already ordered two for myself and my siblings. thank you for this special little reminder
Rest In Peace, I hope that you try to maintain your happiness even with the circumstances 💗 take care of yourself
I wish she's resting in peace. ☘️☘️ this comment was so sweet, ur nice☘️
Hope you are feeling fine
May your mother rest in peace💗
@@idkaboutyoutubenames9849 what's her mix?
Ashley talking to us in the shower just feels like we are friends 🥰
I honestly loved that whole vibe going on
yesss right?! I just felt like I was sitting there, just chatting with her☺️ this vlog made me feel so much less lonely thank u ash🥺♥️
@@lottevdrielleseman ikkkkk, shes honestly the most wholesome and honest person. I live how open she is with talking and shiz so inspirational 🥺🥺😍
ummmmm
@@rileybrown6153 u alright b?
You have such a profound way of perfectly capturing what it’s like to be alive in your videos and I don’t know how or why but you have just a perfect way of putting everything and it makes me contemplate a lot which is the best thing that a TH-cam video can do
Gaby Marie YES
this comment is so eloquently put you literally wrote out exactly how i feel about ashleys content i couldn’t have said it better
you said this perfectly
thank you for putting this in words
I like Ashley channel cause she feels like a real person, and that's pretty rare.
pov: its 2022, the pandemic is still ongoing, and you miss ashley's videos so you keep going back to her old videos to rewatch them cus they bring you comfort
yes, i still keep watching her vlog while wondering she comeback to youtube :( i miss her like soooo much
Same this video actually made me cry, but in a good way, I fell like she captures the felling of the pandemic perfectly. And seing her being so vunerable, and just herself in her videos makes me so happy, and I really admire her bravery. She is just inconic💕
@@estherlise It's strange watching this video, filmed right when the pandemic started. Two years into the pandemic and there has been so much lost. It makes me sad thinking of what the world was like before all of this started.
yes that’s me
Me rn
i seriously love how she's so comfortable and just chill to talk to the camera whilst being on the shower hahahaha
Yaya n how well she covered it up 🤣
she’s not chill. She’s crafting all of this and understands that it will get views.
just realized that ashley is the main character in an indie coming of age movie
Cheyenne Domingo i just watched the half of it, and the director herself described ellie chu as “the protagonist that doesn’t even know it”! i highly recommend it :)
What movie? Movie 🍿
MIATAMA2 not literally
i feel like she is playing that role too in her own lil movie that is her vlogs, she is a film major after all
I’ll definitely go and watch if she is on shows or movie maybe sex and the city 2020 🌃 ✨💃
I love how you're just out there taking a shower talking to us about the centipede like we're you're friend.
oh my god this sounds so passive aggressive after reading all the 🧚🏼♀️✨💖🥰💫🦋 comments on tiktok
Aren't we
*your
This is like my comfort video. Everytime i feel messed up i come back to this
literally what I'm doing rn
me too! literally my favorite video of hers because its so raw and real (and i've seen every one of her videos so that's saying a lot)
same!
YUea...
When Ashley said, “Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I’m trying to get it back”, I felt that
Yup
that last line literally made me cry. i feel you, ashley
so relatable
When life forgets to give you lemons
Same, the end made me weirdly emotional. Also been thinking about the past a lot lately
I love how she was casually talking about a bug while showering, like the entire vibe was so chill???? it felt like she was one of my girl friends who was catching up with me
Yeah me too
the "sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back" is literally what I've been struggling with for 2 years. For the past two years til now, I feel like I'm not really alive. Time just passes by while I watch it. Even when something exciting happens in my life I spend the whole time stressing myself out by trying to "live in the moment" and end up not enjoying anything. It's a real struggle and it's very comforting to see that I'm not the only one struggling with this c':
You're definitely not alone with this! I struggle with it too, but it's become better when I set myself a goal and I achieved it :)
same here
The past has gone and there is nothing we can do about it except let it go. We often remind ourselves or are reminded by others how we haven't been productive in the past but always remember everyday is a new day and every new day is a new opportunity. If you miss a subway you take the another one. But before anything forgive yourself for the past and heal. It's never too late to start. You might think life is too short to be taking time for yourself but life doesn't have be long it needs to be big and you can make it big on your terms and at your own speed. Even when you are stuck you are very much alive, just take the time to rest. Don't be so hard on yourself. Sending love your way.
omg same something amazing and fun is happening and i don't enjoy it....
@@alisonlee4386 same, it's like a permanent state of dissosociating
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." This hit so hard. For a while now, I've been thinking that somehow I have this innate flaw, or was always bound to creatively 'peak' too early. I look back at my writing and the way I captured my ideas when I was younger and there is so much more vibrancy to the, as If I had a zeal that I somehow now lost. Feels good to know I am not the only one to feel like this from time to time. thank you.
this is so real!! as a writer i completely get this, it's so hard to feel like you have somehow lost a part of you that you can't express. i hope you are able to find that passion again. have an amazing day
Same here, makes me feel sad:(
I’m a writer and I couldn’t agree more. Now I’m a copywriter for a living so I feel like I lost my voice. It sucks.
Ashley just proved to us that living alone isn't actually bad. I just love her! No words could explain.
watching her has been so helpful for living alone
Please do, do more quarantine content (obviously don't overwork yourself) but I do and loads of other people like the content 😊💕
I’m you’re 500th like
Covid-19 is a lie. I mean, it exists, but the numbers are being exaggerated. No one knows anyone who even has it! People have been testing the covid test kits on fruits, and they are testing positive! Literally! And, Japan is fine. Ain’t nothing bad happened to Japan. It’s just an excuse to keep people in their homes! But seriously people, don’t take my word for it. Do your own research. Because god knows we all have the time and energy to do actual research.
Sounds like you guys shouldn’t be living alone lmao. I think y’all are at the “I’m glad I’m living alone” stage 🤣
“Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I’m trying to get it back.”
I felt that in my soul, girl.
anyone else appreciate the small cinematic clips of her filming herself through a mirror like when she was picking out clothes and getting ready?? also i feel like ashley is a girl in a coming of age film the way she edits her videos 🥺
I love how she is with her audience she's honest wi th her audience and shit I support where ever she goes
Omg yessdd
This is truly a cinematic masterpiece, I laughed, I cried, reflected a lil bit. You are truly talented
I really hope this girl has an amazing life, she’s an absolute original.
Ikr I love her to pieces
People don’t tend to realize how much work goes into making content, even if she doesn’t post constantly. Let us all hope that she will be as happy with herself as we are of her hard work.
Even though she isn't posting anymore on yt, SHE'S EDITING VIDEOS AND ADS FOR GUCCI AND OTHER FANCY ASS BRANDS!
I hope she realizes that we're happy for her and support her no matter what❤
@@mehh9364wait how do yk, that’s actually really cool
@@shari8157 oh it's on her insta and TikTok, she did a Gucci ad that everyone says feels like a ves Anderson movie lol
I cried at that part where there was a couple stopping by to say "hi" to their friend and was like "i wish i had some friends who'd stop by for me like that" 😢
Same girl, I wished I have those kind of friends who would spend time just to check on me.
Same. :/
Dude same. I feel like I keep checking on my friends and making sure they’re okay but none have done the same :(
Aw you guys are loved and it’s sweet that you do the checking in. So this is me saying Hi! Checking in on you guys from the comment section :) -random friend on the internet
@@jessicaharkley5286 I was thinking the same thing! Hi guys!
i dont know why but im just sitting here crying about how crazy this virus is and how weird its making life, but how normal life is. ashley still posts, im still alive, i still have friends. i'm so fortunate to be safe and this video just made me happy, so so happy.
on point
Cali Alaska it isn't "the virus" making your life wierd, it's the people in charge
Omg yes
i feel the same way! its been so crazy the last months and its to easy to forget how fortunate alot of us are. and its nice to see ashley post and just giving us her good vibes. i love it
Reoz how do you know there's a deadly virus out there? please don't tell me it's because a well dressed newswoman on a television set told you so? Do you have a degree in Virology? have you ever personally conducted a postmortem on one of the "covid19 victims" and analyzed their tissue/organ/cell/urine/feces sample under a microscope in your own laboratory? without empirical laboratory evidence you cannot simply claim that a biological organism exists.
I don't know why, or maybe I know but just not how to put it into words, but that scene on the ending, when she was baking cookies, dancing and singing along, changing her sheets, with her thoughts at the bottom, and the song's lyrics being clearly heard---that hit differently. I felt that.
I felt like her best friend when she was talking in the shower
Right? Like that is def something my best friends and I have done while getting ready at each other's houses ❤️
Same 🥺💗
That's the dream lmao Ashley's awesome
Same girl same. Like a roommate actually. Chatting together the first thing in the morning.
i love how transparent she is with her feelings abt everything
Erica Friedman This is why I respect and love her a lot, and why she also has lots of followers, we love a real queen 😔✊🏼
agreed
yeah feels like we are her familyyy
Yeah me too
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life, I'm trying to get it back"
Why does that hit so hard
It do be hitting like a ton of bricks though
I'm not sure how this came up in my recommendations, but her feelings are pretty much universal now. Unless you are in denial about the pandemic.
I am a 54 year old living with a husband and 3 kids (one home from college) and although my life is so very different from yours, I can totally relate with your emotions. The pandemic, whether with family or not has been truly stressful and life changing for everyone. Awesome video. I can’t believe I’ve been binge watching you. Your delightful.
ashley is seriously THE BEST storyteller, PERIOD.
I would totally agree owjsjajqia
100% yes
Yeah compare to others, they are STORYMAKERS 😊
Do you know Tana Mongeau?
there is also anncy twinkle
I’ve been wondering for what feels like ages, “how is Ashley bestdressed doing? Is she well? How’s her mental health? Is she wearing her mask?” And now I know!
She is pretty active on Instagram.
The whole mask-wearing thing in the US is so weird. In Australia, we have been recommended that only healthcare professionals and sick people or people who are really high risk get masks. Anything other than an N95 doesn't really help you, just means you're gonna touch your face more... And *touch wood* we've dealt with the pandemic pretty well compared to the US where it seems like such a shitshow. It seems horrific over there. :(
What are you really trying to imply
@@maijakelly8335 In NYC you can't go into stores without one. I wear fabric ones with filters & also disposable ones. It'll help keep me safe from others that are sick & vice versa incase I'm sick and don't know it. Our spit travels, and can stay in the air for hours, so something is better than nothing. I love how Australia & New Zealand did a great job. Unfortunately you see who's in charge in the US so we're f*cked.
I've ordered some fun fabric masks on Etsy & other sites, so if I have to wear them, at least make it fashionable with Marvel, Disney & other designs. :)
I just love Ashley!!!
it’s amazing how this pandemic started at the worst time for everyone. so many people were so close to getting their shit together and being content with their life and then BOOM HERE’S ROOOONNNNAAAA.
True!!! I was about to go finished my job application when this shit happened.
no one in particular aw i’m so sorry! i feel ya tho :(
I had just moved from CA to NYC like Ashley and had only one month in my new job lol now I’m back in CA, super in debt and unemployed 🤟
Emily Erickson damn i’m sorry about that. it’s really sad this has affected everyone so badly. i wish you the best 😔
@@emericcson123 oh my gosh me too! I had just moved from the bay in California to Manhattan in December. I was finally feeling at home and like my life was going the way I wanted when Rona hit. I moved back to Cali in March to crash with my Mom and am also unemployed. Been really difficult but I try to stay grateful that I was able to get out of the city and can be close to family right now.
I am watching this 2022 and now looking at a 20 something girl staying alone at home and finding joy in baking cookies and singing along to old playlists makes me tear up... because even though the pandemic has calmed down... I still relate to this video. Nothing much has changed, everyone's still lonely, life is fucked up and the pandemic just helped us to realize all of that... I love you Ashley and I hope you are happier
her saying that she's lost her zest for life and she's trying to get it back makes me feel the weirdest sadness because she is like the coolest zestiest person I've ever seen. like if she's lost it than I know I have. I really love these videos, even just little snippets into the "mundane", because she is the least mundane person. idk
ISwearToKira I lost it from day 1 :p lmao
Being able to express it is also a sign of her openness.
Most ppl feel this way but just don't take any time to reflect - hence just carry on doing meaningless things because society tells them it's the "normal, healthy thing" to do. And then probably have a mid-life crisis
Also, it's just a sign of intelligence tbh.
am i the only one who’s watched this video like 10 times? i’m not sure why it just makes me feel really safe
same :) back to rewatch
this is my like tenth time watching, its so relaxing.
same, it's like im just listening to a close friend rant to me. its beautiful:")
omg same
so have i:) it’s just so relaxing, and real. there’s nothing fake, and it feels like i’m just sitting down and catching up with an old friend :,)
She mentioned not having much of a role model on youtube but she is exactly who i aspire to be. Out of all the ppl i watch shes the one that makes me feel comfortable in myself and my abilities. Everything she says is smth that i take to heart and agree with tremendously.
Agreed! She's so real, authentic, and unapologetically herself. I aspire to have her self-confidence and determination. She tries her best to make slow progress to love herself more, be more productive, be kinder to others. And I adore that. She's a flawed human being trying to be a better person but also embracing a lot of the flaws she cannot change, and I couldn't ask for more in a role model!
Agree so much wi th that!
I live in China and I feel like there are so many down to Earth philosophically grounded people here.
You can check out my vlogs and vids if you're interested.
i don't know why but this video just gives me so much comfort. like every time everything gets really hard and just too much i watch this video and i always feel better at least for those 20 minutes :)
When Ashley said: "do I like that my self esteem is that based on my appearance? No. But does it still somehow make me feel a lot better to like actually get ready and style my hair? Yes."
I felt that 😭😭
“sometimes i lose my zest for life and i’m trying to get it back” that hurts because how accurate it is.
th-cam.com/video/xJ6xywZQt1Y/w-d-xo.html
I hope you check out my post above. Love and Peace, pray for you too.
i don’t think ashley will ever understand that comments such as these help us so much. she really is a beautiful person
Exactly
@@leahjohnson4880 I didn't think God would ever answer me either (being an atheist), but, He did. It's not a matter of one's "goodness", it's a matter of one's need. In this time especially, imho. But, peace and
"There's not always a later"
Man, that hit me hard.
taternoona hard facts of life💕 the present is all we have✨
sometimes when i feel alone i come back to this video and it makes my life better
You need to stop comparing yourself to others. I know it sounds soooo cliche, but its true. For example im 24 and basically i only have my degree (in a month or so) and if i compare myself to you then i would think that im a piece of shit and ive wasted my whole life. But no. My life is different, ive met different people, grown in a different envrironment etc. Someone else success doesnt mean that your success is any worse. Hang in there, its gonna be fine.
Thank you.
I'm 23, turning 24 in a few months and don't even have a degree yet. We have different journeys in life
Shit i didn’t realize how much ive been needing to read something like this. You know it in the back of your mind but it’s easy to get caught up in what other ppl have... I still haven’t finished college and in the past few years I haven’t accomplished most of what i wanted to. It’s a strange time; just trying to find peace within myself and not be so hard on myself.
@@dxzl9760 and you probably don't need the dent it could come with...smh
I tell my husband this all the time! You grow up a certain way, and with access to things others may not have. You may always try to compare yourself to your best friend who is the same age as you. But you took different paths and had different opportunities in life than that other person. You can’t compare your achievements, or where you are in life because of the different paths you took. It’s definitely hard to get in that mindset. I still compare myself to others, but try to get in the mindset of how we took different paths and had different opportunities in life. I’m 26 and still trying to get into this mindset. Hang in there everyone 💜
I love how she talks to the camera as if we were actually there with her 🥺
Kassandra Arteaga I have watched this video 5 times now and I feel like in a way we are with her.
Totally agree. It makes me feel like a friend to her!
She's the best TH-camr tbvh, I love her narration/ story telling way & also editing is amazing
isn't that almost every vlogger
Yes indeed! I was also like "awh, dont feel lonely, were hanging out now" (: and then it got to me that I wasnt exactly in the room with her but it felt so much like it ❤
the music in the back gives me major “coming of age” movie vibes, but then again ashley’s whole channel is basically a real time coming of age movie, love her
RIGHTT exactly what I thought too!😭
Yes
omg a real time coming of age movie! I never thought of it like that but you are so right
I miss watching this for the first time, this was and still is one of my favourite videos of all time. Thank you for making this video Best Dressed. It will be something I'll come back to for years to come and will cry every time it ends
oh my god, this was the best vlog i've ever watched. i have no idea why, maybe the music, but it just felt so close to home, alive. you're so talented and beautiful to be able to make an audience feel this way with a 20-minute vlog. damn.
The Gallant Gangster dude same??? This one just hit different
The Gallant Gangster I’m so glad lauv let her use his music, good music that not everyone gets to use makes content sooo much better
Ellen Johnson i knowww.. it hits just right, really adds something
@@ellenjohnson3361 I know from the second, it's lauv! I've been loving some music from him recently! glad that Ashley uses his music because it fits so much!
there's something about the raw honesty in your videos that feels so "normal" and "un-youtube like" that it's so refreshing and relatable, I love it. AND THE LYCHEE JELLY CUPS. THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
Ashley I don't know if you are gonna read this but you honestly inspire me and I am sure a lot of young women out there. I am 20 years old but I am no where as successful as you are. You are so genuine. I could watch you speaking all day. The words you have said have inspired and helped me so much. This video made me realize that everyone has their own problems. I have also been feeling weird during this time like I can't explain but this video helped me.Take care of yourself and keep up the great work Ashley ♡.
I agree!🥺 Also, unrelated to your comment, but who’s the guy in your profile picture?
wabi- sabi, i’m a highschool student and she feels like the older sister i never had! she’s so down to earth and unafraid to talk abt things girls feel. she makes me motivated & inspired as well

"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." Thats hits hard. But same. Feels good to know I'm not alone. Thank you for honest and raw content. ♡

"eye contact will do it for me at this point" LMAO FELT THAT
Same
As an older man I noticed LOTS of younger women wanting me to give them 'the eye' and sometimes I'll pull down my mask and smile. LOL
@@cre8gnr8nrg don’t kid yourself pal...
the angles and camera shots that Ashley chose for this video just hit different
They really do...it’s aesthetic but it also seems very real, somehow? That’s what I love about her videos. They’re aesthetic but still maintain a sense of reality.
Her videos are timeless, literally art. And the music selection really adds to feel of it all.
i know no one is ever going to see this comment, but i always end up crying when i watch ashley’s videos. she’s just so real and honest and relatable but not in a basic way. i just feel like she’s my older sister teaching me slowly how shitty life is but also how beautiful it can be. i wish she had a cat with her for company. i just love ashley so much, after finishing every video i’m like, man, it’s time i unsub from miranda sings. i’m only going to watch life changing youtube from here on out. you’re a good person ashley, if you’re reading this. i love you :)
I seen your comment
Sarah A. Ok but that's exactly how I feel!
I saw this comment and yes, I do so, she is honest and just herself. I think that's smg that not many youtubers show and that's why Ashley's videos just touch everyone
I love the way you wrote it!! I feel totally the same!
You just put my feelings into words
dang, i like how so honest she is when she talks- even if shes just talking to a camera. i appreciate knowing that i could get amazing advice from her and feel like i rlly have someone to talk/relate to. thanks, ashley
“We’re never alone but always depressed.”
That lyric hit me hard watching this video while doing my laundry too. Storytime lol: I was in the US for an internship but the company had to send me home because of the pandemic. Sad thing is I wasn’t able to go straight home to my city and see my family because there are no domestic flights in my country. Now I’m stuck here in a place I’m unfamiliar with, living in a house with people I barely know (still appreciate them for taking me in) and spending most of my time alone, thinking about what ifs (mostly negative what ifs, very unhealthy lol). It’s just that I was happier where I was at before it all got taken away. Ashley’s vlog makes me feel less alone with the things i’m going through. Ps. stay safe everyone!
Allyson Jade It will get better soon, try to stay positive.
Allyson Jade make a TH-cam channel! I’d totally watch
Oh man. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I can’t even imagine not being able to go home. I am sending you positive vibes your way! You getting through this puts things into perspective for me and I am hoping life returns to normal for you, and just in general ya know? Take care❤️
Greg S I will, thank youuuu 🥺
olivia hibbert I’ve been wanting to! I’m not quite there yet because I wanna have everything set up first but hopefully it’ll all come together soon.
everytime i watch this video i get smacked in the face with nostalgia. Brings me back to when i would stay in my room and paint with your videos in the background during quarantine. please post again ashley ❤. your videos made such a huge impact on me
It really hit me when she started talking about being quarantined completely alone and seeing other people with their families or partners. I am also alone in a different city than my family.
Frances Loghrin try different country . Can’t even fly home , can’t get rid of anything in the apartment because everything closed .
Am i the only one who really likes the fact that lauv allowed ashley to use his music
Two of my favorite people working together :)
YES! that's what I was thinking too. it's so cool!
i absolutely love his recent album
Raan literally about to comment that
Sadly it is probably not Lauv but his label that gave permission but still I love his new album too!
I was literally crying when his music came on, I've been watching Ashley since before 50k and have been listening to Lauv for over 3 years and seeing both how both of them grew so much in that time and the little combination and my brain is racing quite a bit now lol, but like it's how when ur kids are all grown up like that saying is how I feel 🥺
ari is amazing
the people in the apartment who were saying hi to their friends is making me cry, we were so pure then
When I tell you I teared up at the friends “visiting” their friends by standing outside the apartment and saying hi. I can’t even imagine it. Actually the whole city of NYC looking so bleak and empty. I live in NC and it’s definitely not like that here, even when we were all supposed to stay inside, the streets were still pretty full. I haven’t seen my friends face to face in a while, but I’ve seen a lot of people, so it’s so surreal.
Lmao I teared up just bc I don't have friends that would do that for me rip
Marisol Russell i live in nc too and feel like everyone here is so ignorant and it’s so annoying, everywhere i go people are hugging their friends and taking off their masks when they get inside stores when employees aren’t around
Dude it is def way more quite (and slow) but I wouldn't say it's bleak. People are still going outside in NYC. People are being really conscious of social distancing but the streets are still filling with masked ppl taking walks on sunny days. Restaurants are open for pick up. Parks, including Central Park, are open and filled with ppl (ofc still at a safe distance). The city is hurting but it's resilient!
Same in Hong Kong :((((((
We’re all supposed to stay home but the street is full (not to mention our fucking trash government)

The first few minutes when she showers I felt like her roommate, listening to her complaints while brushing my teeth and washing my face
You're all clearly too young to remember Ferris Bueller
me too i felt like we were friends :(
@@dannyt3668 it felt like the morning after a sleepover with your best friend
started crying when I saw those people passing by their friend’s apartment to say hi :’( i live in east village, which is usually so lively, and seeing it so still and quiet breaks my heart. for someone living in nyc, i miss nyc. stay safe, ashley! here for you 💛
everywhere else in the country is crowded. I live in boston and everyone just walks around like normal and talks and hangs out
omg HI
Tbh the most inspirational video ever
Ok in a few years when people start making movies about this period of time, I definitely can see a lot of this in one. Like when you were doing the 7pm cheer. I don’t know why but that was so emotional.
same man ok tho during her walk through the city and seeing those people wave to there friends I started getting TEARY
I was really worried watching a "quarantine" vlog would make me feel worse but oh my god I feel so much less alone after watching this. the whole process of figuring life out again is so crazy I'm glad to know I'm not the only one struggling and finding new ways to be okay.
I started sobbing watching this, it was just so beautiful and thoughtful and I've been in such a depression slump with being unable to get out of bed and sleeping for 12+ hours and this inspired me to leave my room, take a shower and bake a cake. Ashley, if you're reading this, I can't thank you enough.
Just Alice ❤️ been there, it doesn’t last forever I promise!
The bromance blue paint color was definitely inspired by the “two bro’s chillin in a hot tub” vine
When I read this I literally heard this guy's voice in my head, continuing with "five feet apart cause they're not gay". I definitely saw this too often lol
This video is so soothing, it makes me wanna cry I dont even know why.
and I love and admire and adore ashley so freaking much, felt so bad when she was talking about how she wasnt doing okay mentally. I hope youre doing great now, Ashley.
the shot where she's looking for an outfit from her closet but the camera is pointed at the mirror and there's sunlight on the wall so prettyyy ahhh
2:05
I've been alone in quarantine 51 days by myself because of recent heart surgery and an autoimmune condition. If I get sick, I'll probably die. People have been so helpful with grocery shopping and picking up my RX, but they never stay more than one minute - even if we're both wearing masks and are more than 12 feet apart.
I walk my dog and so I see other humans, but I don't have face-to-face conversations. It's really getting to me and today is my birthday. I've invited my friends - and everyone on Facebook who sees my posts -- to drive up and honk or wave at me. I've also asked for someone to bring me a balloon.
Initially, since I live on the second floor of a two-family house (nobody lives downstairs now), I thought I might throw cake at people who come to wish me Happy Birthday (I am 66 today), but then thought that might come across as hostile. So instead, I've made a big colorful sign that says, "It's My Birt'day" and I'll just wave during my calling hours, which will be noon to 2 p.m. (it's freakin' freezing here in Connecticut).
I had to laugh about what Ashley says about showering. I have a piece of paper taped to my bathroom wall so I can check and see when is the last time I showered. I can kind of tell by how gross my hair gets. My record without a shower so far is 10 days - eeewwwww.
But usually I shower the morning of my phone-call appointment with my therapist, which is once a week. Because we can see each other, I also put on makeup, earrings and a fresh outfit. Otherwise, I find it difficult to put any effort into my appearance.
But listening to Ashley, I feel like I want to shower and dress up every day from now on, because it might help me from going completely bonkers. Once it actually turns into Spring, I think I will wear only dresses - I have a LOT. And hats (also have a LOT).
Ashley, as always, I find your honesty very refreshing. Thank you for making these videos.
Happy birthday.
Sending you a virtual hug from the UK.
Happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday!
HTNPSullivan happy birthday!!:)
Happy Birthday !! Sending some love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Also that last clip where shes singing on her bed and shes like I'm trying to find the zest in life again hits deep
Jennifer Lerch I mean like really deep.😩
@@ohkobi I feel that
I feel that too... Felt a little lonely watching her singing on her bed.
Jennifer Lerch I WAS GONNA SAY THAT TOO!! I felt like breaking down 😭😭

Ashley, I'm constantly rewatching your videos whenever I feel bad or anxious or lonely because it just gives me so much comfort
The lyrics at the end "never alone, but always depressed" are ringing in my head even though I finished the video. I'm quarantined with my partner so it feels like everything should be awesome but the isolation blues just won't go away. Just know you're not alone. Thanks for making this.
I relate to this so much. I'm with my partner too and even though I am grateful to not be *physically* alone, I still very very emotionally alone with no one that really understands how my brain is working right now. Isolation just brings that out so much more.
It’s from modern loneliness by Lauv. Amazing song and artist x
I feel like this is the most human contact I’ve gotten that actually feels like a friend and that’s saying a lot cause i still see my friends everyday at work.
SAMEE
Your editing choice at 8:28 is exquisite. To let us linger with you for the beat after your voice breaks and the sudden bubbling up of your emotions caught you off guard was brave and beautiful and perfectly executed. Pre-lapping the audio of "I hung out with people..." ever so slightly like you did to bridge the cut was expert level.
I noticed this too and really really appreciated the editing choice. Thank you Ashley stay safe
Plot twist: it was an accident
you sound really smart
Man!! I love her personality.
Best thing about her is that she accepts herself the way she is or at least is moving in that direction.
Power to you girl 💁♥
Extremely wholesome video- didn’t know I needed to hear that the depressive episodes and sprouts of irrational behavior are normal even though you’re still able to get stuff done and be happy sometimes
Savannah Hendrickse I'm Chinese, and I suggest you stay in isolation at home for at least three weeks and keep a social distance. We China is a responsible big country

ლ,ᔑ•د͟͠•ᔐ.ლ what the fack you saying？
The moment little rainbows started shining on your table made me smile. Such a simple joy in tough times like this.
Hi
✌
I genuinely started to tear up because it's really about the little joys in life right now
I want that... And watch my cat go mad trying to catch the lights lol
I feel like I just watched a movie this was so well filmed and I'm not even someone who cares about the way the shots are taken, as long as I know whats going on idc, but I'm genuinely so impressed with how creative some of your shots are while still being nice to look at. I love how relatable you are especially since you're someone I look up to and seems very put together but it's nice to being able to relate:)
does anyone else binge watch her videos because they're all the absolute most entertaining thing ever
Yup!
Can’t stop.
I'm 13 and I'm home alone all day every day, when my mum is actually home on the weekend she spends all day ignoring me. I know I am super privileged during these unprecedented times- I have a roof over my head and food and ways to contact people. I hate when people say things like "others have it worse, suck it up" or "at least you're not ___". Other people have it worse, and I truly feel terrible for people who do have it worse than me. However just beacuse you have these privileges, does not mean you have to be happy or enjoy this time. This is absolute shit. You are not a bad person for not being physically or mentally able to "suck it up". You are so very strong right now- no matter what situation you're in.
ffion oliver sending love
if you're really 13 , you are pretty damn mature girl, youll make it though dont worry too much. The situation with your mum sucks, maybe try to find things/activities that bring you joy on your own.
ffion oliver I needed this so thank you 🙏🏼 and sending love and hope to you
@ffion oliver Sending you love❤❤❤ and it will get better! Just try to do things that make this time easier for you!👍
ffion oliver sending love your way. I’m sorry you have to spend this time alone but I gotta say, your perspective at 13 is way better than mine was. Kudos to you, this will all be over soon enough.
I don't have a youtube channel with millions of subscribers, I'm not in a career path that I love, and I definitely have zero fashion sense, yet this video is the most relatable window into life during coronavirus that I've seen so far. Ashley, thank you for being so honest, and showing people like me that we're not alone in how we feel.
@@davidgfisher If u are going to hate on the video leave
Emily 💕
I agree! I'm completely on different path yet is so relatable!
i am so glad my girlfriend doesn't know that her best friend dropped me home and made out with me after getting drunk at the party.
David G Fisher doesn’t that mean you are one of the 1.2 mil who watched it. Why would you watch it if you hate her?
Seems to me you're using your time in the best way. You have a healthy lifestyle - cooking, catching some sun, thinking, laundry, a few more creative activities like painting and gardening. In times like these, it's the little everyday habits that count. Keeping up with life is already a big thing.
Please don't feel like you've wasted your time while you could be visiting, etc. You've made your brand new flat a home, and that takes a LOT of time and effort. A lot of people move into places, get caught up with work, and 6 months later they still haven't found the time to hang a poster on a wall. Your place looks lovely. Once quarantine is over, you will have all the time in the world to discover New York.
Also, don't worry about productivity, for artists it's easy to feel guilty at a time like that and envious of seemingly more productive people (when really they're not, everybody just magnifies the little things they manage to do). No need to pressure yourself with stuff like "I'm stuck inside, I need to upload more than ever."
You're a beautiful person, and you're gonna make it just fine. Thanks for making me smile :)
alacrisblake true words
She's so relatable- and the jealousy for her effortless looks is unbelievable!
When she filmed those scenes of NY with LAUV in the background it felt kinda emotional
IK like why do i have tears in my eyes??
What song was it?
Mitchell Bennie canada- lauv and Alessia Cara
tricia t yes literally why am i crying
@elaine margot she thanked lauv in the description for letting her use his music:) so I'm guessing lauv gave her permission to do so without getting copyrighted
