watching this while writing a love letter thats never going to be sent is weirdly healing
stop that’s so cute???
@@via.ilyouuyou’re cuter!
i’m tempted to send it but i don’t think i can convey my emotions well enough through it
@@Lays4Dayz take a week and think on it :)
@@Lays4Dayz I once wrote a love letter to my situationship after I realised I had feelings for him. Then a couple of days later of him completely ignoring me I confronted him and he said he didn't like me anymore. So basically he stopped having feelings for me when I started liking him... HOWEVER I still ended up giving him my cringy love note because I felt like he needed to know how I felt and I did not want to regret not giving him it, you know? It was one of these "for the plot and memories" moments, because you only live once. You never know what will happen. Even if your feelings are not reciprocated, it's alright.
Whatever you decide to do with YOUR love letter, I just hope you are happy and wish you the best.
lara jean energy??
via healing the pain that she never caused I LOVE HERRRR she is like the big sister I never had !!
She is a definition of " Scared? Then do it SCARED... just DO IT"
watching this as an edinburgh resident feels insane
omg real
The fact that I’ve been to so many of these places…
@@TheSpiderInUrWalls help real
same lmao
as someone who lives in Edinburgh, one thing you should definitely do is go to the national museum, its so pretty inside, with lots of different things to see, i always go there with my bf every once in a while, there's also a cafe inside the museum so its pretty cool! im so happy i get to see more people come to Edinburgh! it really blow your mind away, especially during the winter festival :3
does anyone else absolutely love how when Via is doing anything she uses 'we' 'us' our' it really feels like im there with her heheh i love it
shes literally like a therapist to me and one of my comfort ytubers🤍🥹
as someone who has family in scotland and visits a lot over holidays, people always ask me why it’s so important to me but they don’t see the beauty of scotland. its so much different to england and its so much more comforting. i’m more of a city girl who loves being alone but when im in scotland, its completely different, i love being around my family and my friends ♡ i miss it, i want to return soon. also as someone who struggles significantly with their mental health, whenever i visit, i’m so much happier when i’m there, its like i completely switch. this vlog is so important to me, firstly because you portray scotland beautifully but also because you aren’t afraid to say whether you’re feeling anxious or when you want to stay in, and that is so moving to me; you make me feel so heard. thank you ♡
watching this as someone from the uk feels like an out of body experience
omg right!!
Hi, I’m from Edinburgh. If only you had gone to the botanical gardens in Glasgow. A 5 minute walk to the subway, to the west end and you’re there. It’s unreal. so beautiful. Please visit again!❤
watching your vlogs is like seeing a long distance friend which smiles when sees you.
thank you!
the best advice i’ve ever heard is “do it scared” and you genuinely inspire me to do that ❤❤❤
i feel seen when i see you being scared to go outside and just leave your room in general. theres just so much comfort in your own room and the thought of leaving it and going out, being perceived is just so uncomfortable. but you do it anyways and some days it works out and some days it doesn't, but you do it and i feel so proud of u everytime :D
everytime i watch a via vlog, i think to myself maybe im the only person who thinks rainy days > sunny days
sunny days just make me feel extra angry i can't even open my eyes outside
ye crazy your the only one girl😭
i probably just have eyes problem😭😭
i like rainy days except when i’m traveling 😭😭
I love rainy days as well!!
Rainy days all the way.
as a scottish person i’m so glad you had a nice time, if you ever come back you should go up north to the high lands or places like loch lommond lots of hills and scenery and cafes :)
Watching this knowing I have to travel alone to a big city soon makes me feel a lot better and it’s really comforting🤍
next time u visit Glasgow you really need to visit the West End of Glasgow, has a lot of nature and really good vintage shops as well as Bakeries!!! Love your videos
I'm not sure if u read comments this late after uploading 😆. But this vlog was so special to me. When u pick up ur camera in public to film life's precious moments and talk about ur anxiety it makes me feel less alone in the ups and downs. The people in my life don't rlly enjoy or have time for traveling, so I end up staying home because I'm too scared to even go pick up food alone 😣 I also hope you know ur not alone, and that ur vlogs genuinely help me want to get out of my comfort zone. 💕 I am studying abroad in Europe this August so I will be traveling solo for the first time. Everyone says "NEVER stay in!! ur wasting ur time!! get out everyday and socialize!!" . However, since I often get horrible bouts of anxiety and depression I know that's not realistic for me. Watching your vlogs, it's nice to know u can have a fun time and also take mental breaks without feeling like ur missing out. I hope I can keep this mentality when I'm traveling alone as well as throughout my life in general. 😊 You seem like such a genuine person, and that comes off across the screen ❤ Thank you Via, and I hope u feel better from ur cold now! 🤧💖🫶
Hey ! I know it very important to be able to realize alone how worth as human beings we are (and that it do not depend on what others are saying) but i think it still feels nice when people acknowledge how hard we're trying so : we see how you're fighting to be well and do things you like, and we're so proud of you (also this message feels way more complicated than what i intended to say lmao)
i get really scared too when trying new things or when things on my schedule don't go as planned but a goal I've set for myself to charter unexplored areas is if you're scared to try something new then you must try it scared! even if is an attempt, any step is better than no step! i believe in you and i hope you're feeling well when you read this. with love, always.
Via's posting timing is so good I was just gonna put on a face mask and wanted to find a cozy video. Perfect!
Via! Definitely need this type of energy to fight off the Sunday scaries 💖😭🫶🏼
i can’t explain it but watching you is always refreshing, my problems just go away seeing your videos
I’m so glad I watched this. I’m a total introvert with overwhelming anxiety 24/7, however, somehow I also solo travel. I always felt bad for those days where I would stay in during my vacations because of how social intense every moment feels despite it not having to be. literally this is like watching myself travel and it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one. like you’re incredibly scared, however, you’re in a place you want to be and overall grateful. it’s always such a weird feeling.
Ur vlogs are so comforting. I know it’s probably hard to look back on,but those raw moments are so relatable to see. I struggle with anxiety and depersonalization a lot and it stops me from going places. I’m in college now but my dream is to travel and i worry I’ll just stay inside or not be able to enjoy it. So it causes me to over think and over plan like if I don’t have an exact plan for everything it worries me. Seeing u have a good time and actually have fun while traveling solo gives me hope ❤️❤️
VIA!! R u proud of me? i finally won against my fear of being judged for doing stuff alone and went out (eating doritos while walking around?) alone :D
I am not via but I am really proud of you!
@@Hana-xg8gj Awwwwweee! Thankss so much ^^ Still means alot even if youre not viaa 🩷
Love your energy-it’s so real and authentic! Your videos help me get through my own depressive episodes. Keep doing what you do! ✌😊
You're seriously the big sis I've never had to protect me. You make me feel home, Via... Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤
Btw, dont be scared! Go out and do the things u like. No ones gonna say anything honey❤
Ahh, my Edinburgh... always raining, but I miss it. Solo traveling is great. Solo traveling to Iceland is also highly recommended and its safe. Just don't go during winter because you won't like the cold wind. Love the VLOG 💯
I legit just watched the first 40 seconds of this video and I already subscribed.
i'm currently on a long week depressive episode and your videos and vlogs really slow down my anxiety and my thoughts thank you for this
Girl i love your energy, i enjoyed watching this without skipping
I love you via, you helped me overcome rejection and handle losing friends as I am getting older in my 20's. ❤
crazy how I study in Stirling, and just seeing how you filmed it, made me see it through another lens... Thank you via!
heyy!! I have been following you for quite sometime and I find you so relatable and feel so connected to you as a person that I see myself in you. I don't have a lot of friends and prefer to stay indoors and study but your videos give me the courage to step out and also made me realise that I don't really need anyone to travel and enjoy my life with . I am capable myself.
Anyways Love you sm !!🤍
Hi via your my biggest inspiration because you actually teached me that it is ok to step out of your comfort zone and enjoy your life than worrying .... form a anxious girl to another
i so like via’s videos, i found videos on english which i can understand bcs english isn’t my native language, soooo it’s really helpful for me that via put subtitles in her videos
moreover it’s cozy, positive and it get me feel that i am not alone (or not only me alone idk what’s this feeling, but it’s amazing)
OMG AHHH VIA'S DOSE OF HEALING
As someone who lives in Glasgow ( city next to Edinburgh ) this gives me comfort and nostalgia from going there often as a kid x
i love your vlogs 😭😭 you inspire me so much
Honestly, I really enjoyed this vlog and showing us how being on vacation sometimes that things don't go as planned which is pretty realistic thing in life. The vibe and aesthetic of Edinburgh look really lovely! Hope you get well soon, Via!
thank you for this vlog Via, this is so comforting to watch...like literally!😍😍😍
via has to be the sweetest and cutest vlogger, The way you think is just so relatable to me, I always struggle to go out alone and get frustrated easily. like i litteraly have to plan everything i say before going to a cashier and thats only if theirs no self checkout.
Omg omg I’m so happy for you. I remember when you used to make TikTok’s saying u were very lonely and feeling touch depraved or depressed and now I see you travelling and being yourself it’s so inspiring for me.
watching via's travel vlogs does something to me 💕
Edinburgh is the nearest city to me glad you enjoyed it!
Via li videos=therapy
Your videos look so cozy and relaxing. And choice of background music is really good. Good job!
this vlog is so calming, the anxiety when being in public is very relatable and i felt very comforted watching this. i hope you feel better❤️🩹
you film so beautifully, it makes me feel so warm
the timing of this video was incredible. i've been thinking about taking a solo trip to edinburgh soon but i've been super anxious because i've never done a solo trip before and i have social anxiety so i'm not great at going to places and doing activities and being perceived by other people while doing things. but seeing Via do everything despite her anxiety gives me so much hope, so thank you so much for making this kind of content Via
Super excited to watch this, I spontaneously booked a trip to Edinburgh for March with my mom and we're also staying six nights! And I'm also very anxious, so I hope watching this will be a little encouraging 😂
You already made me feel better by showing self-checkouts at the grocery store. They're still super rare in Germany and I used them for the first time last year in Amsterdam, they help sooooo much and make me more confident in buying stuff.
Fun fact: New York took inspiration from Glasgow's grid structure so it makes sense that it reminds you of that! If you're ever back, you should take the subway to the West End. It's very pretty and lots of good shops, restaurants and parks :)
Also our buses will take ur card fine. Some do tap on/tap off, though most you just say where you are getting off and they'll give you a ticket. I used to be super anxious about public transport here too, but its more straight forward than you think!
girl omg since you like green spaces if you come to the uk again you NEED go to the lake and peak districts!! lots of beautiful scenery and nature walks there (especially in wales)!! also, england has a ton of stunning deer parks! they’re all over the country but the one i know best (and can definitely recommend) is wollaton hall in nottingham - it always makes me feel really peaceful and at one with nature! love ur videos girl 🫶
i geniunely love the ending it makes me so nostalgic of an after traveling
i solo-travelled for the first time this year as a little 18 y/o and was so anxious the whole time and felt like crying TT, thank you for showing the ups and downs. i am honestly so glad i did it and this video made me realise i would actually love to do it again, bc even though it can be hard you grow so much. (oh and edinburgh has been on my list for sooo long, you're actually tempting me) ty for this video ilysm 💕
i loooved this vlog !! i love vlogs in general but yours really get to make me feel as if we're alone together, if it makes sense, and it was all really mundane and quiet and even your more vulnerable moments managed to make me feel "comforted", like, often we tend to show only the best parts of a trip/of our lives, so it was comforting seeing a human being... being a human. this also healed some part of me that is currently feeling a bit lost and it made me want to start solo travelling, so i hope i can do it as soon as i can! it was a really lovely trip and edinburgh is one of my dream vacations, so i hope i can go there one day, thank you for sharing this
I really appreciate that you also included days when you were feeling anxious and maybe weren't feeling up to going out! It's a very relatable and comforting perspective to have :,). Thank you for your vulnerability and best wishes in your continued solo travels!!💜✰•*✻
You always radiates positive energy😭😭❤
always love your vlogs via
via you literally have my dream life ,, I love you so much btw 💞💞💞
I love these travel vlogs so much 😭 I’d love to do solo travel when I’m older but fear I’ll be too scared. You inspire me to remember to just try things even if it seems terrifying. And I swear all the food looks so good in your vids, instantly makes me hungry 😭🤍🤤
I love these traveling alone videos! You sharing your anxiety and showing how it affects you while traveling is so relatable and makes me feel less alone and more normal😭 thank you!❤
Watching via's vlogs while eating breakfast>>>
Like both Edinburgh and her are so gorgeous omggg
The way I literally JUST booked a trip to Edinburgh and Via released this is a sign from the universe, I’m telling ya
Bbg the amount of energy that u have in every single video is hilarious I could never😭😭🫶🏻🫶🏻
omg via you looked so ethereal and just so gorgeous at the cafe you went to for lunch after visiting the bookstore while pouring the water 😍💅🩷
I LOVE YOU AND THIS SO MUCH? Your videos are so comforting i don't know. I'm an older sister so i don't know what it's like to have one but you definitely feel like one😭. And i was thinking we NEED a video about your clothes and accessories or something cause I'm OBSESSED with your style!!
I live in Edinburgh and love the city so much but seeing it through your lens felt like such a breather. I loved your perspective and you really managed to capture the beauty of it despite the different weather. This is the first video of yours I've seen but I'm definitely subscribing after this
i feel so comfy watching your videos you're so idk warm
Via legit helps me so much 😭😭
I just realized that I picked up journaling because of you, Via. Tbh, I love it and I enjoy writing my thoughts on it like I never thought that I would love it so much
But this vlog feels so refreshing and cosy makes me want to travel
okay this is my bucket list, I wanna go here one day and I WILL
seeing these videos of Lia (an introvert being independent) makes me want to do the same in college, but im not confident at all and have a hard time getting out of my comfort zone haha
it gave me such a great feeling and omg it was so cinematic you filmed it so beautifully thanks for sharing such a pretty thing with us! love you and peace.
When this was uploaded I was also on my dream trip I’d been planning for more than a year! It kinda changed me as a person a bit to see how great life can actually be sometimes
I swear I love Via so much she brings me so much comfort
When I watching your videos you always motivated me to see the world and not give up ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s so crazy that at the end you had cramps even though you’ve never had them before because I came to watch your video for comfort as I was going through the same thing 😭😭
You are my comfort youtuber . Whenever I feel down I watch your videos and I actually feel my heart healing
sundays arent complete without a via upload 💗
Most people enjoy sunny weather because some people don’t experience sun and hot weather which actually makes people very happy but personally me, I really enjoy cold weather you know that cold wind, gloomy days I really like it!☀️❄️
Via you are so therapeutic i think that’s the right word. Whenever you post you make my day
i love this vlog! i'm from scotland and i'm so glad you liked it here.
if you ever come back to glasgow, the west end is really pretty, there's more nature and little cafés
Fun fact that black bird you saw was probably a raven bc ravens travel solo and are quite large but crows are usually flocking together :’)
I hate accidents expect when we from friends (random youtuber) to this (cant wait to watch her vlogs) uh huh darlinngg urr thee onee i wannntt
Your videos are always so comforting to watch and you give me so much inspiration to also go out there and get out of my comfort zone and enjoy my life. Love you via
While watching your vlogs, I feel very peaceful. I always enjoy your vlogs very much.♥️

I love watching you do scary things despite the anxiety! I'm always rooting for you
I’m in the UK for holiday for a month and I’ve been here for three weeks. I’ve been going to Tesco so much. The mail deals are great. They like my favourite thing.

I’m happy that you went to Scotland because not much people go here
