I'm a lot older than you, but this is totally relateable. Good luck on this next chapter!
Also, throw some commercials up on your videos, girl! _(at least 2. 3 is better)_ You have great content and your videos are of considerable length, so monetize that shit. It may not be a lot, but it could help in your travels. UA-cam will also push your content which would most def result in more subs... mo' money.
Thank you! Also, it's interesting that you say that because I always worried that more ads would piss people off. I'm gonna start throwing them in there then
@@TheNovelLush Well, if anybody gives you a hard time about ads, tell 'em to kiss come _yapdog's_ ass. I mean, this isn't a fair exchange. Yes, you want to share, and we're here for that, but you're putting in all the work, coming up with ideas and creating these videos. That has value, and your *real* subs are here for you regardless of ads. Those who aren't don't really matter. ;^)
Great job crushing your goal!! Wish you safe travels and amazing new experiences!!
Thanks Rachel!
Oh my gosh I want you to be happy so bad😭 you’re my fav booktuber and hearing you so sad and your voice breaking hurts me🥺 I hope you find what you’re looking for and no matter what you decide to do I’ll keep watching🥰
Thank you so much 😭😭😭
Girl, we should throw you a virtual going away party because I'm so hype for this new life you're building! Yes, sis. So proud of you Lauren ❤ You have my support wherever & whatever you do girl
Yaaaaaas! Thank you so so much!! 😭
I’m so fucking proud of you. Opening up and reaching for your dreams. Let’s fucking GOOOOOO💞💞💞✨
You gotta be a Taurus with that drive
You and Helene from booksbyleynes should hang out!!!! Congratulations!!
I **am** new to the fold! Bummed your presence will no longer be in Chicago, but very excited for your new chapter. As someone who's about to be 36, I can say for myself I hated my 20's and love everything about my 30's: being stronger of mind, more welcoming to adventures, dating and finding healthy relationships (was in one unhealthy relationship for the entirety of my 20's) more peace and self-love (my heart skipped a beat when you said "I love that about myself" - hell yeah!) Good luck on your travels and can't wait for your new content!
i'm so fucking proud of you for going after what you want, GO GET IT!! YOU'TE DOING AMAZING ❤
Lived in Germany for a year and a half in Manhiem. I loved Germany and didn't want to come home. I hope you love it too.
Congrats on moving! This is amazing because you have nothing tying you down and you went for it!!
You’ll be able to see and do so many things. Good luck!
Good for you. I feel the same way. I don’t know how to change it. Good luck at your new job!!!
Thank you! I had spent a lot of time before this working on me and trying to discern what it was that made me unhappy or lonely. When I got to a place where I was content I had to look at what else outside of me was bringing me down and change that. For me it was work and isolation. The feeling is terrible, but do whatever you can do to lighten the emotional load and if you find that it's something outside of your thoughts and emotions, or something contributing to negative thoughts and emotions, it's gotta go! I'm sending good vibes out into the universe for you
In the name of all the Europian people I welcome you to our neck of the woods. 🤗😁 I hope you will have a great time. Also you should be proud of yourself.
Huzzah for getting out of a bad work situation and getting out to see the world! Not Europe, but if you ever get to Japan let this gal know 👋
I'm in the UK! I'm not a book tuber but I love books. I don't go out a lot cause of disability, however, I do go out every so often. You're super cool and your videos make me smile. Live your best life beautiful. xoxo
I love you and am SO FUCKING PROUD of you for crushing your goals!
What a coincidence I just moved to Europe (UK) for school last week. We should totally meet up if you’re ever in the area for booktube stuff. I’m really glad for you! I hope you have a great time in Germany and have a load of awesome experiences in the future.
This is exciting! People that move to Germany (I hear of) only have really good things to say about it and then they never moving back to the states. I hope you have an amazing time and meet new people.
OPSEC is REAL FUN! lol I'm glad for you that you're doing something new and different. Your work environment sucks butt and I hope that you have fun.
Girl I’m lowkey (high key) about to cry right now... I just turned 31 and I literally just go to a job that I absolutely HATE then home... when I get home I’m like, is this it!!! Now it’s time to go to sleep!!! Definitely NO FRIENDS... I’m just really bad a creating and keeping relationships (no matter the kind) and I can’t seem to shake it 🤷🏽♀️ I’m really glad that you making a move girl 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 sometimes the universe needs to put you in a different surrounding to get different results!!!
oh my god if you ever feel like spending a couple of days in Brussels definitely count me in to give you a tour!! i'm so happy that you're hitting a new milestone in your life and i hope that this move to Germany is going to bring you everything you're hoping for and more cuz you deserve it SO MUCH. live your best life!! and welcome to Europe
I'm about halfway through listening to your testimony but GURLLLL I feel the exact same way. I'm only 26 (not even 30 even though people keep tryna tell me I'm 'almost 30' lol) and I already feel like a middle-aged mess. All I do is go to work my tired 9-to-5 job and go home. I have friends but I barely see them. I'm kinda-sorta starting to casually date this guy I like, but we barely see each other. Basically, my life has been stagnant for almost 2 years and I dont know how exactly to fix it... :(
But back to you, I'm so happy for your new journey!! a million congrats!!
I'm so excited for you with this new chapter! I think this could be really amazing.
Thank you! I'm hoping so too. It honestly feels like just what I need!
I NEEDED to see this video!! I have recently made the decision to move abroad to Canada for the exact same reasons. I just felt like I wasn't doing anything meaningful with my life and I've been increasingly depressed with my current job. Good luck with everything
So relatable. You should be proud of yourself cause it isn't easy to make changes. I'm so excited for you. Go explore.
Live your life and enjoy it. I'm excited for you to travel and this new chapter will be awesome. I can relate to needing to get out more.
You are so awesome....so many people sit back and do nothing....i am so happy for you. You are an inspiration.
My friend and I made a three way dare to go on a vacation alone.....i never would have done it on my own and went to Alaska.....i met so many people and had a blast...the point being, gotta take a chance or nothing happens. Looking forward to Your videos.
Europe is beautiful! You will love it! I have been all over, so let me know where you are headed and I can help! so excited for this new change for you! you are going to do great:)
Go live your dream love! I'm so greatful to have found your channel! Best of luck with your goals.
Thank you so much!
I understand how you feel when you reach 30 and you don't have any social life besides your work......so cool you're making a huge changes
I'm a little late, but congrats on the new job and the move! So exciting!!
wow... i felt so much of what you said about your situation... i feel that... good luck to you!
Congratulations! Good luck :) Have fun!!
You rock! I love your vlogs as they have been, but I'm super excited to see what you have in store! I really enjoy hearing your opinions and love hearing what you want to share about your life!
Congrats on the job!!! And kick ass over there!!!
Live your best life 🤗🤗💅🏾🙌🏾
Hey, congratulations! I'm so happy for you. Sounds great! And I am happy to hear you are comming to Germany. If you need any tips go ahead and ask. Scolling through the other comments I saw I'm not the only subscriber from here.
Quick recommendation: the UA-cam Chanel 'wanted adventure' might be worth a look.
Best wishes, for your mental health as well
Congrats on the new job! I hope you enjoy living in Germany, it might be a bit of a culture shock but we have a lot of beautiful places to explore here. I totally get your thought process as I am turning 30 in a couple of weeks and it gave me a lot to think about over the last year as I was trying to decide what to do with my life :)
You will love Germany. My dad had to go there and decided to stay. He loves it there!
Congratulations!!!! That's really exciting, looking forward to seeing more of your videos! I stopped filming for a while because my phone was pretty bad and my camera didn't have a way to see what I was filming without costing a ton. But I got a new phone and better lighting in my new place so I'm good to go!
New subscriber! I haven’t started the booktube portion of my channel yet, but I’m moving to Germany at the beginning of next month. Hopefully we can link up.
Congratulations on the new job! I know that it is a few months late, but I am really happy to hear that you are feeling better about yourself. I am only a casual watcher of yours as I love listening to your reviews, but I am going to Europe (Britain or France) for my placement come next Fall for 2020. I know how difficult it is to get visas, etc. I really do hope you get more active here and that you find youtube as a safe place again. Good luck with the move!
I'm so happy for you! I have one suggestion: bookstores European bookstores. I want to see ALL OF THAT. But also just enjoy yourself. You deserve it.
Oh I'm DEFINITELY hitting up as many bookstores as possible. I'll make sure I take my camera with me
I am the same way I go to school and home. I don't do much neither but take care of my son and that is all.
Congrats! This is such an exciting change.
Congratulations. You have a friend. Me!
Get it. You've got this. 💜💜💜
I wish you all the best with your plans! Hope to see some more content from you soon!
First of all, congratulations! You're absolutely crushing it 🎊. The beginning of your video really hit home for me. I'm an American, but moved to the UK about four years ago. That change was MASSIVE but honestly it is best decision I've ever made. It has been rough in places, but at 31 I'm so much happier and healthier than I was.
If you're ever in Oxford or London, give me a shout 😊
Congratulations and good on you for recognizing your need for a change and making it happen! That's a huge deal. Germany is gorgeous, I stayed with a family there for 2 weeks on a school trip back in '01 and have missed it ever since. So happy for you!
I turned 30 this year too 😐 I have the same goals as you. I'm working on making a big change like a move or a job myself
Yaaaas, I'm pushing that energy out into the universe for you!! It will happen
good luck sweetie!!! all the best!!!!! life is for living girl
...make those changes!!!!📚💐👍⭐
YOU GO GURL!!!!🤗🗺✨
Congratulations! My cousin did a study abroad in Germany and never came back. I hope you love it.
Congratulations on the new job! :)
Good luck with this next chapter!! And can't wait to vicariously travel through Europe with you. I completely understand what you are talking about with vlog plotting. I'm so excited for you!!
So exciting.
WOW. Good job on recognising a problem in your life and finding an (exciting) solution. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope the actual move goes to plan. TFS :) PS Do your dogs have to go into quarantine?
So happy for you!! Go go go!!
wish you all the best. Happy Holidays :) and I hope the new year is better treats you well.
Congrats on moving to Germany! That sounds so exciting!
Thank you!
Sooooooo excited for you.
Congratulations! This is so awesome! I got a little weepy-eyed listening to your story because a few years ago I was in the same situation. I didn't move overseas but did move from the East Coast to Colorado.
I wish you the best and look forward to following you in this new chapter of your life.
I’m so happy for you. I’m tired of just existing too.
Thank you so much! I fully recommend changing whatever thing, big or small, that you can because oh my God I feel so much better!
Yay!!! Travel and books. The best combination. I wanna know the process for moving all those books!!! Congrats Love.
this is going to be awesommmme!!
I'm wishing you all good things! You're so brave to say fuck it I'M DOING THIS!
I always enjoy your videos but even if you wouldn't make a video ever again, just knowing that you are enjoying life would be enough. You are kind enough to share a part of your life online and I for one am grateful for that.
Also enjoy Germany! And if you ever go to the beach in the Netherlands watch the difference between the way German kids act versus the Dutch ones. Germans dig holes and the Dutch build dams 🤣
(I'm kidding, sort of, I'm Dutch so I'm obligated to take the piss out of Germany)
Excited for you! x
::HUGE HUGS::
I'm older with you so I definitely understand. I wish you the best and can't wait to see it all work out for you ... welcome to (kinda) military life. =0)
Thanks! I'm thus far not enjoying the 'hurry up and wait' but it's not my first government gig. Doesn't make it any easier though
This is so awesome! I’m going to live vicariously thru you (I’m a homebody introvert). And you’ve done amazing. Turned 30 this year also but haven’t done shit except put a new roof on my house 😂
Good luck!
that's so exciting! i'm a brat and my dad was stationed in europe for a while. germany is my faaaaave in the winter, i hope you love the weihnachtsmarkte as much as i did!
Girl, I FEEL you about feeling stagnant. I am so happy for you for recognizing your current environment was not healthy and changing it. I am so happy for you! I am extremely excited to see all of the new content. I hope you have an amazing time overseas!
so incredibly excited and proud of you 😭💕
Thanks boo!!
Yay! Congrats on this new chapter! As a viewer I'll look forward to travel vlogs and/or whatever you create.
I can imagine moving to a whole new continent will be an amazing, scary, awesome and stressful experience. So many emotions and such a big change. I hope everything goes as smoothly as things possibly can and I'm really happy for you. You seem so much happier already.
Omg..that is soooo cool that u just picked up and moved! Hope u enjoy ur time in Hermany! Love ur life girl. I’m thinking about doing the same thing and I’m 40!
Good for you Boo
Good for you! I lived in Germany for two years ( Heidelberg ) and LOVED it. Germans are nice people and the country is beautiful. And traveling by train to visit different cities is a blast - I recommend it. You must be very excited. Good luck to you and have fun.
I'm so happy for you! Go, live, enjoy and I can't wait to see your travels.
Thank you!
I'm happy for you! Good luck with this new life change.
I'm late watching this but I hope all went well.
I completely get feeling like you haven't accomplished anything you've wanted to accomplish. I've only just turned 24 but I feel that way now. I'm planning on moving to Florida after I finish my degree partly for the same reasons you've mentioned. Sometimes you just need a change of environment to jumpstart that change. My family is not happy about it but I'm doing this for me and my happiness, not them. Congratulations! I'm proud of you.
The most important part is doing what you feel is best for YOU! My family didn't want me to move either but I truly feel like I need this experience. Good for you in jumpstarting that change, boo! I'm excited for you
Congratulations your amazing and inspirational! Can’t wait to see more great content.
Thank you!
Hugs girl. I totally feel you. When you realize as an introvert you want to hang with people sometimes but that means you have to put in the work to have people to hang with. I am so proud of you and happy about these changes. As I said on twitter I am ecstatic you got a new job. I had no clue you were looking overseas. Glad for you. Definitely looking forward to travel being included on your channel. I just want to see one grwm for the makeup and hair dyeing. But even if you do nothing different I am just happy you are not going to be at that job anymore. Go you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I didn't say much when I applied for it because I was afraid of jinxing it. Ooooh I can definitely do some GRWMs. I'll be starting a new channel too so I'll have all kind of makeup and hair content.
Exciting- the move sounds like an excellent choice! If you happen to come to the UK then you are welcome in here in Wales!
Congratulations! I hope your new work environment is a positive and safe environment. I for one am excited for all the future travel content. *insert Monique’s I would like to see it gif here*
Good luck to you. Not envious of all the work it takes to move but excited for your journey and what adventures are yet to come. Can't wait!
Congratulations and I wish you much success and happiness in this new endeavor!
I’m so happy for you! Best luck with this amazing new chapter in your life!! 😃
Thank you!
i’m so happy for you lauren!!
Aw I'm so happy for you that you were able to make a positive change in your life! I would love to see your travel stuff and yes please on the food. I love food. I will have to live vicariously through you!
i am so happy for you!! i can't wait to see what is next for you :)
I'm so happy for you. Be safe.
I’m so happy for you!!! I know your workplace is toxic and this transition sounds life changing! Can’t wait to see you enjoying your life 💚
Best of luck to you! I hope you enjoy Germany! Viel Gluck und Beste Reise!
Yay!! I’m so excited for you and very much looking forward to your new videos ❤️❤️❤️
So excited for you! And excited to see how the channel will grow! 😊👌
So happy and proud of you!! I'm excited for your new adventures and we will be here watching!!!
Hope you find happiness overseas! Sometimes a fresh start is needed! :)
Congrats on the new job, and wish you luck on the move! So happy this is happening for you and very much looking forward to that new content in the future!
