Yea exactly! And obviously I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone, but it’s nice to have someone who’s going through a similar situation as myself. My long-term boyfriend broke up with me last year unexpectedly, through text, and I haven’t been the same since. There were also a lot of other things that happened in 2020 that rocked my world, including both of my beloved childhood pets passing away within months of each other. The last two years have been an absolute sh** show and I’m slowly trying to work through my depression and all of the new things life is thrown at me. It’s encouraging to see someone doing the same. I wish you continued happiness and growth and thank you for the wonderful video ❤️☺️
@@SedonaChristina can you talk a little bit about what you meant by “having unstable income as a youtuber”? I’m an aspiring FT youtuber and would love to know more about your journey!
@@bethanygates6812 My last two years looked quite similiar to yours, so many hard things happening. Big disappointments, that we have to get over. Everyone has to face their own struggles and work through them, but reading your comment and watching this video makes me not feel as alone with having a very hard time (everyone in my close surrounding seems to be living their best lifes which isn't easy when you experience one of the hardest phases in your life). However, I send you a big hug and we will get over this and only get stronger.
My marriage ended when I was in my early fifties. That was the first time I had ever lived alone. It takes time to get used to it. There will be up and downs. There are lots of positives though.
As I’ve gotten older (28, so definitely not old by any means) I’ve realized that trying to label myself or fit into a stereotype was making me unhappy and feel very fake. Giving off vibes of “I am who I am” is what makes me happy. I can feel that energy just from this video. Always remember to trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, or feels too good to be true, it probably is
I loved this vlog! Can't wait to see what you do with the new space :) Rainier is SO beautiful, I wish I lived just a tiny bit further north so I could go there for a day trip 😍
Dude, I'm happy you're back. My usual youtube watching routine has been lacking without your face. The uncertainties of life cab really teach us how to thrive on our own. I have a similar story, but my apartment was 400sq ft with terrible neighbors, change of career, going back to school, new city. I found that I had to think of my apartment like living on a boat and using unconventional areas for storage. Vertical storage is your best friend in small spaces. 3 years later I'm happy in the house I bought and the kitties I've adopted. It's a short valley loading to a peak. You'll summit and you'll find this time alone incredibly valuable.
I feel like this video was super different from what you've done in the past. I'm so sorry to hear that youve lost a friend. Loss is so difficult, and I'm sending you all the positivity. I really enjoyed this video and hope you do more videos like this that really show you and reflect your life. ❤️
Just broken up with my boyfriend and honestly I am so happy to have a person I feel I know go through the same thing.... of course this is 'know on the internet' but the advice and connection is the same and its helping SO MUCH I can't even tell you 🥰❤ love you girl.... we got this!! X
Breaking up is tough and hurts a lot, but when you get over it, you'll find there's something very awesome about getting real independence back - and also a chance to reboot your minimalism. I don't say it is easy nor should it be, but heartbreak is something we all will experience someday. Some of us more often than others, and it is always different from person to person. I wish you better days.
I’m so sorry what you’ve had to go through has been tough but you seem stronger than ever!! I am so happy your uploading again and I can’t wait to listen to the poddy as well!!!❤️❤️
Darling, you will honestly be just fine!! And the thing about living alone is, not only do you get used to it, it becomes your sanctuary, with nothing to stop you doing whatever, whenever you want. Believe me, I'm very reluctant to live with anyone again now, and even though I'm in a relationship, it suits me just fine to have my own place at the end of the day to flake out, and not have to be someone else's entertainment!! Much love and best of good luck! x
The not fitting into the big wide world stuff is exactly what I needed to hear today 🥺 I've been struggling so much with not knowing what my identity is because I don't fit into a box. I know who I am, I don't need to be moulded into a stereotype.
The TH-cam algorithm loves to keep my feed full with other stuff, but I was wondering where you'd been! You seem to have such a positive attitude in light of a bunch of setbacks and I think that's awesome. I hope your journey living alone continues to go well; I've lived alone for the past 4+ years since I graduated college and honestly love it, but it's a hard adjustment at first
I'm so glad you're back! I was actually wondering a few days ago what what happened to that sweet, PNW girl that I enjoyed watching so much. Life is full of changes, and you seem to be handling them well. I'm looking forward to hearing about this next chapter of your life. Hugs. ❤
I‘m so happy for you. Living alone can be overwhelming sometimes, but at the Same time it‘s so empowering. I wish you all the best for your New Home and am sending lots of love and blessings your way. So excited for Future Episodes, Watching your Videos always Makes me so calm and happy. :)
Thank you for sharing this! As someone who just recently went through a break up it’s easy to get wrapped up in your own mind and “is there anything for me after this?” and you showed my heart that life goes on and there is so much more out there to still experience
I know it’s been a while since you broke up with your boyfriend, but I wanted to share that you’re not alone. Four years ago my boyfriend at the time broke up with me after I moved across the country with him. I then moved into a teeny tiny studio apartment that at first felt like it was crushing me because I felt so alone. I don’t even think I moved for a week. I took some days off work and cried on an air mattress on the floor that whole time until I could pull myself together and appreciate my new neighborhood and the new chapter in my life. Appreciate living alone while you can; it definitely has its perks! Flash forward to today and I’m happily living in the DC area with the actual man of my dreams. You’ll get through this rough year because there are so many better years ahead!
Oof. This video and this phase in your life has struck something deeply within myself. As a recent MSW graduate with no idea what the future brings and feeling more and more empowered, yet terrified, I’m grateful I have people like you to watch who are navigating something new! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Finally got watch this blog 😁 I'm going through a devastating breakup right now and although I've lived on my ow for the past 2 years, I find it scary to have to reinvent myself. And for the first time I feel lonely living on my own, especially now that I'm close to turning 30(in another 2 years)I feel like I'm a level I have failed, but watching your video helped feel less alone and is making this difficult time a little bit easier. Thank you for sharing your story 🤗
I've been watching your videos for years now! You are awesome. I feel like you're my best friend but don't know it. I hope you enjoy this new chapter, you deserve it!
I've always hated the labels everyone tries to put on other people. I never "fit" into one category or label growing up and it has helped me become more confident as an individual. I know it makes us feel better to be part of something, to belong somewhere and you will find your place and career! Very sorry for the loss of your friend.💖 Many good vibes and prayers to you as you go through this journey!
I'm so sorry for everything you went through in the past few months and I'm so happy to have you back Christie! You're such an inspiration and we're all here for you ❤️
i'm so happy you're back! i've missed seeing your videos but know that life throws so many curveballs and sometimes, we need time before we come back stronger than before. it's not a fast journey for all this healing, but you're handling it all with grace and i wanted to say that your growth is noticed. sending you sm love. 💛
I've been where you are and we're similar in age which makes seeing this even more real ❤️ It should only go up from here. Living alone was scary for me too at first, but you really get to see what life offers. And hey, you got this! Just be you ☺️ I love this raw and real footage.
So comforting to know I'm not the only one who has journey'd through this stage too :) I totally agree that it lets you see what life offers! I suddenly feel so free.. I don't know if free is really the right word, but refreshed? Like there is space I can choose to occupy anywhere and adventures I can choose to go on whenever I want. I don't know if that wording makes sense but I'm so grateful to this time already! Being alone is kind of... rad? Enjoying it while I can 💛
@@SedonaChristina Your words of feeling "free" hit it with me, I keep saying the same, I don't know if it's the right words, but after 9 years tied up in a relationship, I think "free" fits just fine 👌
Wow... that's a lot.... But i am so proud of you! Keep your haid up high, keep faith, try to see the positive in everything ( or see things as a learningprogress in all that happens) and you will be fine. You got this girl! ❤️ Overhere there is also a hard year. I'll spare you the details ( part of it is getting metastatic breastcancer and i would have died in a few weeks -> BUT i lived! ), but i've learned something great: DON'T BE AFRAID... i think it is the greatest lesson in my life and i wish i knew this before. It is so simple but makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE Don't be scared, be positive and go for it. It will all be ok.❤️
Omg thank you so much for sharing your struggles. I can relate. I also feel I haven’t found my “thing”. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s just hard to “fit in” to society 😂😂 just subscribed and can’t wait to watch your journey ❤️
There’s these metal shelves at Home Depot you could put appliances on. It’s like 60 dollars and a friend of mine used to use hers for that and plants. 🤷🏻♀️and they are easy to disassemble because there aren’t nails or screws
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I feel like life always throws everything all at once. But it’s really helpful to see you when you tubers also struggle because we put you guys at a higher stage than us. Forgetting that you have the same struggle
Firstly, I just wanted to say that you’re so strong to want to share all of these ups and downs with us in such a raw and authentic way. And I’m sending you all of the good vibes, patients, and love you may need to find your way! ✨🌱 I have been feeling super lost and am so unsure about what my future plans and life will look like. I feel like I don’t fit in, I don’t know what I want and like I’m holding myself back. It’s so nice to see someone just a few years older still figuring this crazy life out. Still working on themselves and finding purpose. Finding beauty. Thank you for sharing. 💕
I loved living alone! I moved in with my bf and missed it but we have different schedule so I get lots of time to myself which really works in both of our favors. I know lots of people cant imagine it but also I almost always had a cat and they are great company and harder to lonely so im very happy you have your dog
Hey I know that feeling of learning to live alone and just being alone. When I was 20 my dad passed of a long battle with cancer and 3 friends died in a car crash the next week. I was so devastated that I feel into a deep depression. Then my boyfriend left me for someone else 2 months later because I was too depressed. Which made me sink deeper and I started moving apart from the friends I still had. So one day I decided to help myself and move. With no money, no car, and no place to live I moved to Denton tx to study. I found a sublease, my brother let me borrow his old car, and I even found a job. I learned to be alone and it was true healing. That and counseling of course. Eating at a restaurant alone and being completely comfortable was the level of peace and happiness I needed. Everything gets better. ♥️
Beautiful soul ❤ you have it all RIGHT!! YOU are YOU! THAT is the beautiful thing about this awesome life. Life can and will throw us HORRIBLE things and very often it will all happen at once! I'm living proof. I have been to hell and back myself...illness, death, loss of a job, my wedding was called off, multiple surgeries. I can tell you that living those horrific dark times is making us so much stronger even when we don't see it. They say that we should never ask WHY something happened to us but ask WHAT. WHAT did this lesson teach me? I think that's exactly where we begin to have our self discovery. Lean on God and your family & friends. Be calm and keep keeping on dear girl. Much love!
Ahhh your hair!! It’s so long and beautiful. I recently cut mine all off to cut the bleached part off. I will never dye my hair again. I can’t wait for it to be long and healthy like yours !!
So glad to see you back!! About appliances... My husband and I donated our microwave almost 2 years ago. Our apartment is about the same size as yours, so very little counter space. It's been sooo nice not owning a microwave. We have found alternative ways to heat things up. I've only regretted it maybe 2 or 3 times, and I got over it real quick!
Honestly, I think the best thing you can probably do for yourself right now is stay in one place by yourself. From what you said and watching your vids for the past couple years, it sounds like you haven't stayed in one place or been alone for very long. Find any job that'll take you, work hard, simplify your thoughts, and just get to know yourself better. I've also felt like I could never find my place/vibe in life, and that was because I didn't know myself well. I'm thankful I did all of the above before turning 30, because it's gonna make the next decade so much better.
What a messed up summer, but I'm so glad you're able to find some peace in these steps forward for yourself. You're rocking the solo living and I can't wait to see what you do with your apartment ❤❤ (and seeing your friends make an appearance was delightful!)
You are a beautiful soul inside and out! I look forward to watching your vlogs to see where life takes you as well as seeing ways you live sustainably in the PNW (❤️) because I’m always looking to do better.
Christy I’m so so sorry to hear about your friend. Your resiliency during all this trauma is really impressive. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Much love from Colorado ❤️
I'm really sorry for your loss, what a ton of difficult things to go through all at once - I do hope you're coping okay. Thank you for continuing to make videos, it's been really enjoyable to watch your journey into your new space and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses and what you do with the space too, and I love the chatty parts also :)
Welcome back! I've missed your videos. Sending positive vibes for your living alone journey. I went to Washington for the first time this summer and it was incredible. Mt Rainier is my new favorite place. We woke up at 3am to drive to Sunrise in Mt Rainer to watch the sunrise and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
You are handling everything super well, your attitude is very mature about everything, I'm proud of you I'll be praying for you and your future! God bless you
Sending hugs Oh and just so you don't worry about your sanity - if you start talking to yourself a lot a lot- dont worry, it happens to everyone that lives alone haha
You are so easy to relate to and so lovely to watch.. I’ve been watching your videos for the last 2 years I think🙏♥️ Thankyou for being so down to earth … and being around the same age as you and in a very similar phase of life at the moment I really REALLY appreciate this video… makes me happy and hopeful 🐝 Thankyou beautiful soul 🙏🌸
Sounds like life has been a lot lately! I’m sorry that life had thrown so much at you but it’s awesome to see how you’re dealing with it. Sending you love and light. ❤️
So so sorry for what you have experienced recently but I am so happy that you are now in a good place and enjoying living on your own. I have to admit, as much as I love the people in my life, I find the time spent in my own space and in my own company so rewarding. It's a chance to really get to know yourself. Good luck with the decorating!
It takes a little time to adjust to living alone but it really is terrific. You’ll learn to rely on yourself like never before and and discover so much about yourself you didn’t know. Also you don’t need a microwave! Get rid of it! You have an oven and a toaster oven :) Best of luck ! Xo
Im just about to start this journey. Heart break moving to new job, completely different environment and first time living alone. I think this will be a good little series for me to watch! All the best!
You probably won't read this comment and it might be a stupid thing for a stranger to say to you, but I'm really proud of you. Navigating life and significant changes is really difficult. You are obviously learning so much and leaning into finding joy throughout every moment your life throws at you. You are a beautiful human. Forge on ❤
I live in Oregon and have a mattress in the back of an SUV. I'm dyyyyying to get back out into nature. I think I will this week. The PNW is gorgeous. Let me know if you ever want to go camping lol
I only watched the into, but DAMN WOMAN! You are a STRONG WOMAN! Dealing with her life, you are a beautiful inspiration to be proud of being yourself no matter what!! ♥️💕🥳👍 From a human to another human, MUCH LOVE MY LOVE!!!
The speech and vibe you were talking about not fitting in to categories and stuff is also how I feel and I decided to do day f it too. Also the design vibe you're going for sounds awesome and also like my style so it's not like us people don't exist haha
In the least weird way possible, I found your channel a couple months ago and I just do believe that you and tay are my long lost soul sisters tehe🙂 Thank you for so nicely capturing the feeling of "not fitting a box"- that's something I've struggled with my entire life. Society is weird :) and sometimes we tend to overthink it :) I'm proud of you for choosing yourself 🤍🤎
So glad to have you back since you’re my favorite youtuber! But I’m so sorry to hear everything you’ve gone throuh and still going through. Love from sweden 🇸🇪❤️
I love love love your friendship with Tay! I miss your podcast ❤️ also so glad you are back! You are a warrior queeeeeeeen! Excited to see what this new chapter brings for you! PS. So sorry for your loss 🥺😔
Sending so many virtual hugs for all the reasons (mostly cause you deserve a ton of hugs)! Always love to see a new upload from you to see how you’re doing as a human.
i feel you so much! the person i thought were "the one" left me at the beginning of the year and there i was trying to figure out how to live alone after 9 years of living with my partner. it is still weird but also so powerful!
You’re handling what life is throwing at you like a CHAMP 🥺❤️💃🏻
Ahhh THANK YOU! What an adventure I (and I suppose, WE) are going on! Stoked for the ride 💛

Feel like I’m in such a similar phase of life right now. Such a comforting video to watch, excited for what’s to come! You’ve got this ❤️
I've been watching your videos for years now! You are awesome. I feel like you're my best friend but don't know it. I hope you enjoy this new chapter, you deserve it!

It’s so nice to see someone just a few years older still figuring this crazy life out. Still working on themselves and finding purpose. Finding beauty. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Absolutely loved this vlog! I am finding myself in the same season of life and this is so comforting to watch and relate to💕
I loved living alone! I moved in with my bf and missed it but we have different schedule so I get lots of time to myself which really works in both of our favors. I know lots of people cant imagine it but also I almost always had a cat and they are great company and harder to lonely so im very happy you have your dog
Hey I know that feeling of learning to live alone and just being alone. When I was 20 my dad passed of a long battle with cancer and 3 friends died in a car crash the next week. I was so devastated that I feel into a deep depression. Then my boyfriend left me for someone else 2 months later because I was too depressed. Which made me sink deeper and I started moving apart from the friends I still had. So one day I decided to help myself and move. With no money, no car, and no place to live I moved to Denton tx to study. I found a sublease, my brother let me borrow his old car, and I even found a job. I learned to be alone and it was true healing. That and counseling of course. Eating at a restaurant alone and being completely comfortable was the level of peace and happiness I needed. Everything gets better. ♥️
Beautiful soul ❤ you have it all RIGHT!! YOU are YOU! THAT is the beautiful thing about this awesome life. Life can and will throw us HORRIBLE things and very often it will all happen at once! I'm living proof. I have been to hell and back myself...illness, death, loss of a job, my wedding was called off, multiple surgeries. I can tell you that living those horrific dark times is making us so much stronger even when we don't see it. They say that we should never ask WHY something happened to us but ask WHAT. WHAT did this lesson teach me? I think that's exactly where we begin to have our self discovery. Lean on God and your family & friends. Be calm and keep keeping on dear girl. Much love!
Ahhh your hair!! It’s so long and beautiful. I recently cut mine all off to cut the bleached part off. I will never dye my hair again. I can’t wait for it to be long and healthy like yours !!
So glad to see you back!!
About appliances... My husband and I donated our microwave almost 2 years ago. Our apartment is about the same size as yours, so very little counter space. It's been sooo nice not owning a microwave. We have found alternative ways to heat things up. I've only regretted it maybe 2 or 3 times, and I got over it real quick!
So glad to see you back on here :) thank you for sharing your life and energy! Here’s hoping the universe stops throwing out so many speedbumps 🤞🏻💛
sending so much love🤎 you are STRONG and POWERFUL! Don't ever forget it
Honestly, I think the best thing you can probably do for yourself right now is stay in one place by yourself. From what you said and watching your vids for the past couple years, it sounds like you haven't stayed in one place or been alone for very long. Find any job that'll take you, work hard, simplify your thoughts, and just get to know yourself better. I've also felt like I could never find my place/vibe in life, and that was because I didn't know myself well. I'm thankful I did all of the above before turning 30, because it's gonna make the next decade so much better.
What a beautiful view of the mountains.
You are strong, life has lots of good things coming your way🥰
What a messed up summer, but I'm so glad you're able to find some peace in these steps forward for yourself. You're rocking the solo living and I can't wait to see what you do with your apartment ❤❤ (and seeing your friends make an appearance was delightful!)
You are a beautiful soul inside and out! I look forward to watching your vlogs to see where life takes you as well as seeing ways you live sustainably in the PNW (❤️) because I’m always looking to do better.
Christy I’m so so sorry to hear about your friend. Your resiliency during all this trauma is really impressive. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Much love from Colorado ❤️
I'm really sorry for your loss, what a ton of difficult things to go through all at once - I do hope you're coping okay. Thank you for continuing to make videos, it's been really enjoyable to watch your journey into your new space and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses and what you do with the space too, and I love the chatty parts also :)
Yessssss! Read my mind - I've been wondering when it'd come back, so stoked you're restarting the podcast again!
Great Vlog! I wish you all the best for your New Home! So excited for Future Vlogs and content x
Welcome back! I've missed your videos. Sending positive vibes for your living alone journey. I went to Washington for the first time this summer and it was incredible. Mt Rainier is my new favorite place. We woke up at 3am to drive to Sunrise in Mt Rainer to watch the sunrise and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
You are handling everything super well, your attitude is very mature about everything, I'm proud of you
I'll be praying for you and your future! God bless you
Sending hugs
Oh and just so you don't worry about your sanity - if you start talking to yourself a lot a lot- dont worry, it happens to everyone that lives alone haha
You are so easy to relate to and so lovely to watch.. I’ve been watching your videos for the last 2 years I think🙏♥️ Thankyou for being so down to earth … and being around the same age as you and in a very similar phase of life at the moment I really REALLY appreciate this video… makes me happy and hopeful 🐝 Thankyou beautiful soul 🙏🌸
So proud of you. Congrats on your new home. It’s all up from here.
Yessss so happy you're back! The realest. Thank you for your content x
Sounds like life has been a lot lately! I’m sorry that life had thrown so much at you but it’s awesome to see how you’re dealing with it. Sending you love and light. ❤️
You are so inspiring! I am going through a lot right now to say the least and you really push me to be a better me. Thank you ✨
So so sorry for what you have experienced recently but I am so happy that you are now in a good place and enjoying living on your own. I have to admit, as much as I love the people in my life, I find the time spent in my own space and in my own company so rewarding. It's a chance to really get to know yourself. Good luck with the decorating!
Thank you for being you ❤️
It takes a little time to adjust to living alone but it really is terrific. You’ll learn to rely on yourself like never before and and discover so much about yourself you didn’t know. Also you don’t need a microwave! Get rid of it! You have an oven and a toaster oven :) Best of luck ! Xo
So excited for the podcast to come back!!!! Love yah lady and want to support you in anyway I can 💫
Im just about to start this journey. Heart break moving to new job, completely different environment and first time living alone. I think this will be a good little series for me to watch! All the best!
its so good to see your face again! im sorry right now is a rough season in life, but you will pull through!
Living alone is the best
You probably won't read this comment and it might be a stupid thing for a stranger to say to you, but I'm really proud of you. Navigating life and significant changes is really difficult. You are obviously learning so much and leaning into finding joy throughout every moment your life throws at you. You are a beautiful human. Forge on ❤
Such a pretty mountain!
wow thats so much to go through all at once! i love your channel so much, and i really hope things go well for you!
So glad to have you back, absolutely love your content and look forward to what else you have to share 🤩
I live in Oregon and have a mattress in the back of an SUV. I'm dyyyyying to get back out into nature. I think I will this week. The PNW is gorgeous. Let me know if you ever want to go camping lol
I only watched the into, but DAMN WOMAN! You are a STRONG WOMAN! Dealing with her life, you are a beautiful inspiration to be proud of being yourself no matter what!! ♥️💕🥳👍 From a human to another human, MUCH LOVE MY LOVE!!!
The speech and vibe you were talking about not fitting in to categories and stuff is also how I feel and I decided to do day f it too. Also the design vibe you're going for sounds awesome and also like my style so it's not like us people don't exist haha
YOUR BACK! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 THANK GOODNESS
RELATABLE! Also had a breakup in that same month, wish I was having as easy of a time finding a pet friendly solo apartment though.
So happy to see a new video from you!
In the least weird way possible, I found your channel a couple months ago and I just do believe that you and tay are my long lost soul sisters tehe🙂 Thank you for so nicely capturing the feeling of "not fitting a box"- that's something I've struggled with my entire life. Society is weird :) and sometimes we tend to overthink it :) I'm proud of you for choosing yourself 🤍🤎
I love your channel bc you're real
missed you, happy you're okay! thank you for being so real it truly makes me feel soooo much better about myself too! ps missed tay too!
Thanks for your honesty, I’m going through something similar and this video was comforting somehow ❤️
So glad to have you back since you’re my favorite youtuber! But I’m so sorry to hear everything you’ve gone throuh and still going through.
Love from sweden 🇸🇪❤️

So excited for this new chapter 😍
Sending so many virtual hugs for all the reasons (mostly cause you deserve a ton of hugs)! Always love to see a new upload from you to see how you’re doing as a human.
I'm sorry you're going through all this, but you're soooo strong!! You're such an inspiration ☺
I'm excited to embark on this new adventure with you ❤

Praying for you!💙
I’ve loved u & ur videos for years!!!!
So much love to you and this fabulous journey you’re embarking on!
i feel you so much! the person i thought were "the one" left me at the beginning of the year and there i was trying to figure out how to live alone after 9 years of living with my partner. it is still weird but also so powerful!
Feel heard as well!
