Unpopular take. The way I see it, Christmas itself is more or less the same. The intensity of its excitement varies from time to time, yes (especially when one compares this year's to that of 2020). Yet, its essence stays intact: a cold holiday season (not really the case in a tropical country, but it'll do) sprinkled with festivities, laughter, and lights all around the city. My point, however, is that what changes significantly is the people who experience it-us-and our life circumstances. Through the particular experience of feeling something different in Christmas, we also indirectly realize that we are no longer the same. And I think that's okay. Sure, there is comfort in experiencing the familiar and exposure to difference can feel scary most of the time. Yet, familiarity also entails boredom and there is joy to be found in the unknown.

Oh, a therapy session? Good, I needed that, thxs!💗

❤ gumption ❤ ... love that word !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Merry Christmas!

Lovely! Happy Christmas to you❤

Oh, but you’ll find someone soon The Ash Files 😉 As usual, thank you for sharing your thoughts and your videos. Somehow they make me feel part of an invisible community of introverts, observers of the chaotic world we’re living in 😂 Merry Christmas from Italy

letting yourself be authentic is so life changing, a one day decision to let yourself be yourself (or even learn who you are) can change everything

‘no amount of new starts can solve what you’re avoiding inside.’

I am absolutely in love with your writing style.

You might just have described my Xmas (in a less exotic spot) but I hear you! A personal Xmas-where everything that is important - brings you to tears. A life well lived….❤️🎄❤️

I just love watching your videos and your voice.

"Are you holding back?" I have a wall of thoughts and reminders and will definitely include this, thank you. ♡

🇬🇧 ~ Merry Christmas 🎄 - What magic 🪄 you captured in this little present 🎁 to us far & near! London REALLY goes all out in December - WOW!

Looking forward to an apartment tour when you are ready to share it with us! Sending extra warm holiday hugs 🫂 from Southern California! Best, Michelle 🥰

Merry Christmas from Toronto!! I don't know what it is,, but Christmas feels,,, different this year. It feels,,, less special and im not sure why,,, maybe it's just where I am in life,,, ( I have plans and Xmas parties I'm going to with family,,) but just on a personal level,,, it feel odd,,, maybe I need to start making some personal traditions I do with myself every year.

I just had my 10 year relationship end in November and while I'm still really hurting - I'm spending this Christmas alone and this was really kind and helpful for me. Thank you ❤ Merry Christmas from Vancouver, BC

This was beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Merry Christmas from Chicago.

This was such an amazing video!! Your voice is so soothing!

What a beautifully narrated video!!! You gained a new supporter

the people who told you to shrink, they are not your people

I have watched this video every day for the last 7 days. And it's really been helping me go through a horrific marriage break down. It makes me feel like even though I have big feelings, that the grief is immense... so is the joy.. ✨🙏

This was really refreshing, glad I found your channel on this Sunday morning.

This sounds like an AI voice

My heart hurts so much, when I watch your videos and I have to admit that I'm crying while watching them. I feel so heard.

Omg I'm also 37 and wanting to move to London 😭😭😭 but the Visa process is so frightening and so expensive 😞

So beautifully read. No AI voice. Perfect. I love it. Thank you❤

Thank you. I've lived my life by the book, followed every rules and made sure everyone around me was alright and now everything came crumbling down I don't know who I am anymore I thought I was a failure I still am but this video made me realize things happen for a reason and where I am right now is alright I may not be in college like my friends I'm still finding out who I am and who I want to become so thank you, this video is the only one that gave me assurance. I also need to learn how to say no hahaha...

I’m here for all of this🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🥰

this came at the perfect time <3

Wow... This is exactly what I needed, feel like. Thank you so much

This felt like reading the inner monologue that should be for me. Having always been solo so far, at 24 as a dude, makes me feel irredeemably defective and very much envious of my peers who are able to connect. Now, these two negative feelings have been amazing fuel for growth and achievement, but I'm still miserable for it at least one evening per week, minimum.

This was nice. I enjoyed this

Truly... This was so relatable. These are the moments that make social media so beautiful. I am so grateful for this comment section , it makes me feel so less alone. I am just 14 years old, throughout all my life, both my mom and dad had an extremely busy life which led to me being independent and self sufficient. My mom shifted to another city this year, and I felt like I relied on comfort by my friends. But lately, even those relationships have failed to fulfill me. As for romantic relationships, no one has ever truly 'loved me' or given me the same amount of safety, and love. Being independent has never been a bad thing for me and I appreciate the liberation that comes with it, also knowing the responsibility but it definitely does feel alone- with couples and friends and social media and a house that is empty. I also know that I am too young to already have a fixed pattern in my life. But truly, these videos give me so much comfort, gives me assurance that I'm not alone, even in the lonely.

Thank you for this! I'm crying 😭

thank you for this. very well said and just what i needed to hear these days :]

❤

so true. so, so so.... true. !!!!

What if you dint know what you want? I’m 59 and although I enjoyed 29 years in the military which I think is the life I wanted, but I can’t be part of that anymore so I don’t know who I am if been going from job to job over the last 12 years and I am currently unemployed and apart from my home I have very little in terms of income … ok a lot to be grateful for not happy in my marriage but we are friends and we have a great family and children and grandchildren which are real blessings but inside I’m unhappy, I hate the state of the world it seems like there is no hope for peace … I can’t switch off from it, everyone is fighting …
