Thank you for posting this!! I am getting ready to start Qsymia and have been extremely nervous about it. Hearing what things I should do and not do while taking is was extremely helpful. Thank you!!
You’re welcome! It definitely works. Good luck on your journey!
Shae
You look good!
Thank you 🥰🥰
This was such good advice! I love Chicago so I don’t blame you for wanting to go back. Ive lived in Atlanta for 16 years, but have moved back home once and moved to Houston but Ive always come back!! You gotta try things out to figure out where you belong!!
Definitely want anyone that watches to learn from my mistakes and enjoy whichever city they pick
You got this girl ❤ I love your attitude ❤
Thank you 🥰
You’ve only been there for 5 months which is less than a year. Go to the gym, make new friends?
Come to Virginia, I will take care of you while you are figuring it out ❤️🎉❤📞
Atlanta (Hotlanta) was promoted as the Black Mecca-----not anymore (just an illusion)
I’m about to be 32 and my hubs is 38 and we’re both in this boat too . Trying to find our way , what to Do for careers ,etc
Based on what you've said in the video, you don't like Atlanta because of the dating scene. You can have a great social life here in Atlanta if you don't put looking for love first.
I agree. I actually gave up dating after my first year in Georgia, but I have neglected my social life here so that could be a huge reason I don’t like it here
@ I understand that.
❤ I know someone that moved here and has been in the same situation. No progression!
❤❤❤
Crazy cause im still thinking about moving there , been seeing a few vidieos like this kinda changing my mind
I recommend visiting to see if you like it. Atlanta is still a great city
ATL has not been the same since 99 when all the transplants moved there
Good for you! This move will be good for you.
I’m almost positive this move is the best thing
The food must be terrible, you look like you are shrinking. Please learn to drive, it will help you in so many ways.
Driving causes too much anxiety for me. I hope to learn one day
Beautiful nicely done
Thank you!
I'm from Cincinnati I love it in Atlanta we're here since 2012 and we're not going nowhere
I’m on zepbound as well. Best decision of my life. You look amazing btw.
Thank you! Glad Zepbound was a good decision for you as well 🙂
Love me some sand & fog🥰
Same! My new obsession
Three and a half minutes into the video, the blogger does not state what she dislikes about Atlanta. "The vibes are not for me" is fine, but why is Atlanta not for her? I would like to hear her reasons from someone who has moved to this city. This is a silly vlog.
Thanks for your feedback. You don’t have to watch. Have a blessed day
It’s typical for any city, but vibes are something you gotta go experience yourself, otherwise it sounds petty most of the time.. I’ve heard countless ppl say they want to leave Chicago, but she’s saying she wants to go back.. Every city has the same thing to me, but vibe is personal.. I don’t like Atlanta btw 😂😂.. I lived in Honolulu and it’s boring after awhile 😂😂..
Are you just using concealer not foundation?
Yeah I stopped wearing foundation because it’s been hard to find the right shade with my tone changing
Women..they never grow ..up....
The dudes are not suspect, yall choices are sus!!! And tell the ppl we are full stop coming...
Atlanta is straight up trash. Rude people who cant drive. At all. Pot holes in roads, freeways.
I totally agree with you.. I want out of here so bad
I felt the same way…came back moved to Merrillville Indiana… still visit Atlanta quite often
I believe that Atlantas dating scene is for men
Are you still in Atlanta? that could be the reason it’s so depressing here my sons are so miserable here no friends bad schools I can’t wait to move back home or somewhere else I never knew the state and city you live in plays a big part into your life and mental state until i came here so I wish you peace and blessings
Still here and trying to figure out my next move. Environment can definitely play a big part in mental state for sure
Would you say you are an introvert pretty lady?
I would say I am so that definitely has a lot to do with my dislike of living here
@itslaurenmonique that makes sense. Atlanta is a whole different culture. Good to visit, but not to live if you prefer a bit of isolation.
Atlanta is a transition city. No one is from there. Most people are only there three years and stepping stone a job somewhere else. ATL and Chi are shitholes. Large Cities in general are just not worth the headache. I’m much happier in my slow life in the suburbs. There is nothing that would take me back to ATL
And good tlo-f t-lof candidate by the way right hon
I like Atlanta. Once you understand that everyone black is not progressive and it’s a city of very Cosmetic people you can deal with the fabricated lifestyle mode people .
Looking good!🔥
Thank you 🥰
I really enjoyed this video and your transparency! Looking forward to your updates! I am currently on week 11 of Zepbound and down 24lbs.
Congratulations 🎊 which dose are you on?
@ 2.5
Yasss! Okay the 2.5 is working. I’ve been in 5 for like 4 months. Thinking of going up to 7.5 this month
I been here my entire life. It’s not for everyone and it will eat you alive if your not a natural hustler
Facts
Atlanta will eat you alive, but Chicago won’t??!.. I don’t get it when folks make that comment..
I guess you have to ask yourself why did you leave Chicago in the first place. You left for a reason.
I think the reason I left was because I needed a change.
Me fr😂
😭😭😭
Wow, you look gorgeous. hard work pays off❤
Thank you 🥰
Grew up in Atlanta most of.my life its filled with dressed up dopefeens who dress flashy period..
I came across your channel because I've been looking at moving to Atlanta. First off, I just want to say how much I appreciate how genuine and honest you are about life and your struggles. I know I'm just a random stranger, but just hearing someone else talk about a similar situation it makes me feel not alone. And neither are you! I moved away from home 5 years ago to Florida and while I love my apartment and where I live, I feel unmotivated and lost. Even something as basic as getting up and showering can be difficult. So I'm considering a change of scenery to shake things up a bit. All I can say is follow your gut! Not everyone has it together like we think they do. Don't beat yourself up. You've done something amazing moving to Atlanta, something people dream of but never do. This is how you learn and appreciate what you had before; you get to see things from a new perspective. And you would have never known if you didn't take this step. Sending you lots of love I know you'll make it out of this!
Aww I really appreciate you for watching 🥰 I definitely use this as like my little diary but also hope that my videos can find at least one person that can relate so they don’t feel alone. Feeling the exact way you are feeling right now and honestly change might be the best option. Sending you lots of positive energy and love that you can figure things out as well 🤍
That’s sad 😢 I was thinking about Atlanta it seems nice I’m from The DMV but I kinda want to leave here I don’t even know moving seems like such a hassle . DMV is good cause of jobs and metro it’s very good easy to get where you need to be . Hopefully things get better but I’m glad I seen this so I’m thinking ATL is a no now lol 😆
Omg no don’t let me discourage you. Atlanta is a great city, just not my vibe. I’m so used to the Midwest and that’s just where home is for me. My friend told me I should look into the DMV, but I don’t think I can do the east coast. I would recommend visiting Atlanta for a few days to see if you can see yourself there.
This is from someone who grew up in both the DMV and the New England region. Don’t do it ! Ive been in Atlanta for almost three years and a half, everything she mentioned is absolutely true.
@ thanks yeah I’m probably going to stay here for a little while till I get myself together I been through a lot here so that’s why I wanted to move but it’s just I have no idea where the DMV IS EASY for me to navigate to get where I need to go main reason probably only reason why I like it here etc I need a place similar like that atleast
I moved to Atlanta in July of 2024 and I just told my sister that I can’t be out here, I’m moving back to Chicago where I’m born and raised or I want to try Charlotte, because I’ve heard nice things about it. But right now I’m honestly home sick and I’ve noticed myself feeling depressed since I moved here smh 😢
Omg same. I’ve been so depressed here. So random, Charlotte actually crossed my mind as well but I think I need to head to the Midwest
@ I’m sorry to hear that you been feeling a bit depressed as well, I can’t wait to go back to Chicago, I haven’t been there in almost 5 months and I’m hoping to be gone before my 32nd bday in March. I may go back home for a few years just way up north not back on the south side lol.
I’m from the south side as well but lived up North. I definitely recommend the Northside. I hope you get back before your birthday. Living somewhere that makes you unhappy is not good at all.
@ thank you beautiful, I’m praying I can move back before then too. I hope your time fly past as well so you can get back home to Chicago or wherever your heart desires💗
I’m definitely hoping these next couple of months go by fast, but I will try to make the most of my time here.
Atlanta full of slave mined black people that will sell you out to their white masters. Black people don’t run Atlanta but their mouths.
Chicago and Atlanta are both garbage 😂
There’s pros and cons for both cities
America is 🚮
So where is the promised land then
@killlamas57 West side is the best side. Pick your flavor. 80% of the population lives east. Look at other things besides culture. Instead of economy. Not saying look in to California.
@@killlamas57 Wakanda. Take a trip
Shoutout to you for working along with ChatGPT ! Well played @Lauren! Keep it up
Hold on Sista! Things will eventually work out. Just remember the Chi town hawk!
I hope so but the vibes here are not for me
@@itslaurenmoniquetry other places down here in GA. As a Georgian I’m telling you Atlanta is not it and you are in 🌈 city 😂😂. maybe give somewhere else a try like Warner Robins, Macon ( river side). Valdosta ,
@@blackflame10000 Nah, bruh. Don't direct them to Macon. Macon is just fine without transplants and the shyt that they bring with them.
PUUURRRRRIIIIIIOOOODDDDD DONT GIVE UP GIRL😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this I really appreciate it
You’re welcome ☺️
Being from Georgia (not Atlanta…. another town people mention), I feel it’s something off with that Slave state spirituality.
