As a nurse I can say I’m pretty proud of how well you’ve done with social distancing and staying at home thus far. It’s okay to go out on walks and enjoy some fresh air! You definitely deserve it
can we all appreciate how Tara is probably one of the most relatable youtubers. She’s not living in a huge house and choosing to use her money to invest in herself as a brand by having a clothing company. She’s probably one of the only influencers who takes her job seriously and it’s so refreshing and appreciated 💕
Honestly, as long as you’re being as safe as you can I don’t see anything wrong with having a designated safe friend that you allow yourself to see. especially when you’re all alone 99% of the time. I don’t fault you whatsoever.
I'm in the UK and I am also by myself (in a studio to make matters worse) It's been very hard. We are now allowed social distancing walks, it's making things so much better for me.
Nonsense! You should always be as safe as you can be. If you are sick, stay home. If you want to live in fear, stay home. Let the rest of us have our rights and freedoms back. You are taking them from us.
My mom and I hugged the other day. We don’t live together and I had just had a really awful panic attack from just missing everyone and a sense of normalcy. So we hugged. It is a risk, but sometimes you have to weight those risks and maybe take them! I am thankful that you shared this, it definitely makes me feel better!
♥️♥️ Love this comment. I am a grown woman & live alone and guess what, I need my Momma!!! Especially right now!! Haven’t been around another soul besides her in months, I always keep my distance while around her but I did get a hug the other day on my birthday and we both have zero regrets. We will all persevere through this, no matter how differently we all do so!
Times like this make me feel blessed to be a grown woman who lives at home. I get to see my family on the regular since we all live together. We're super tight knit and I'd go crazy not being able to see them! Also, agreed with what other people said: you don't need to explain yourself! Every person's situation is different and it sounds like you guys really were thoughtful about everything. While I'm in a high risk group (asthma) and my Dad is diabetic, I know I need to be more careful (especially since me and Mom and are ESSENTIAL employees lol). But yeah you still need that human contact! We actually just moved at the end of March, I finally live in the same state as my bestie... but we haven't been able to see each other and it's rough! We're currently talking/planning the safest way to see each other now that restrictions are being lifted. But yeah, you did nothing wrong girl! If anything, you went over the proper way for people to handle wanting to see others. :)
You just talking about Tasha and Starbucks and the hike it clearly was a healthy thing for and made you happy you do not have to explain yourself during these times you truly have to do what is best for you. The numbers for Suicide and abuse have went up.... people need people and contact with other people.
Agreed! I feel so bad that she is always defending everything she does! She doesn’t need to! She literally isn’t doing anything wrong yet others have made her to feel like she has and that’s so messed up! I have noticed her defending her actions more and more for just normal things. We all need to continue to live our lives and we can be smart and safe about it still. My best friend and I have been struggling real bad lately with anxiety and finally just got together in my backyard and kept our distance but just needed to be able to talk face to face! It helped so much! Lack of human interaction can be seriously damaging for some. Physical health is super important right now but that shouldn’t overshadow mental health either! Mental health is just as important!!!
Allyson Porter this was very well said!!!! And completely true! Mental health is just as important as physical if not more. There are safe ways to do things. But having everyone get anxiety or increase their anxiety or depression is not okay... and if a little human contact from 6 feet away is just something that is going to brighten your day then so be it. You have to do what’s best for you. We are not meant to be alone. Also I agree 100% she has been stating her case for everything. And I get it she has an audience but also it’s her life like the whole witch thing never had to explain half of that to us it wasn’t a reality show or her relationship like that’s a lot to tell a friend or family member let alone the internet. I have been watching her for years and it sucks that she and other you tubers have to explain everything because someone has something to say about it.
Haha. This literally just made me lol. Thank you. I needed that. Ps: haha ohhhh the witch. It’s crazy how invested most of us are when it comes to the updates on that woman 😂
I’m a big at-home pusher and you’re fine! Don’t stress this. You did everything right and so did your friend. You have masks, sanitizer and you’re outdoors. You’re fine. It’s the concerts/movie theaters/festivals/etc that will not be happening this year- unless the scientists come up with something. I went to the beach yesterday with my kids and hubs. First time for us. But we live in a small town that doesn’t have a crazy population. So navigating outdoors is very easy. You should just put a visual checklist for viewers whenever you do an “going out” vid, that way you appease your anxiety and are responsible to the people watching you. Glad you enjoyed the fresh air- have fun 🥰
Foolishness. Masks are ineffective. Less than 1% of the population has died from COVID19. 99% LIVE!!!! You have been manipulated and brainwashed. Educate yourself. Stop listening to the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians. I know people in the medical field...personally. The regular seasonal flu is much worse and kills way more people. H1N1 killed way more people. People, such as yourself, are why our rights and freedoms are being stripped from us right now. You all bend over and take it up the ass...unfortunately. if you are sick, stay home! If you want to live in fear, stay home! smdh
Erik Renner it sounds like you’ve been listening to “msm” of your own ilk. Because whoever told you the handmade/surgical masks are to prevent catching, gaslit you. Handmade/Surgical Masks are used to prevent one’s OWN germs from spreading to others. This is not new information nor new studies. Society has been using them properly for decades. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like you understand how they are used correctly. But I can explain it so that you can educate yourself. Wearing your OWN mask makes you responsible for your OWN germs and protecting others from your OWN germs But we appreciate you participating in the conversation.
I literally do not blame you at allllll for getting outside with a friend. I hung out with my friend last weekend because I was getting really anxious and needed to get out! I feel like it’s really good for mental health in general and if you’ve both been quarantined separately for weeeeks then I don’t really see the problem!!! stay safe out there though 🤍
Completely agree with you on this one! It’s good to prioritize your mental health during all of this! Fresh air is good, and clearly you were smart about it. This is coming from someone with asthma, I go on walks and have socially distant bonfires with friends. It’s okay. It helps with anxiety and as long as you’re safe, you’re doing what you can! Love your videos :)
girl, your totally fine! you have been one of the people i’ve seen that has truly taken this whole situation so seriously. i have friends not taking it as serious and are being selfish but you definitely aren’t! you took all the correct precautions that needed to be taken! thank you for being honest!! love you!!
Just listening to you talk about your thought process behind deciding to go on a hike with your friend and the precautions you took shows how responsible and thoughtful you’re being. Thanks for sharing where you’re at with all of this! I live alone as well and this was so relatable for me.
I don't believe there is anything wrong in seeing one friend if you are both staying safe! Nobody can expect you both to live alone and never see anybody in person. It's hard to find things to be excited about at a time like this so you have to find little senses of normalcy and excitement to stay sane and happy. I'm glad you're able to speak about the mental aspects of this whole situation
Thanks for being so raw and honest about this all. Everyone's situation is different , I dont think any of us should be partying or having huge social gatherings.. BUT we have to survive this crazy time and you gotta do what you gotta do !
your hiking outfit is SOOO cute!!! I also went on a hike with a friend this past week! In Ithaca, the restrictions have been lifted so I was SOO happy to see a human
I feel like as long as you’re not seeing a different friend every night it’s fine. The rule is groups of less than 10 people so seeing one friend is fine? Especially if you’ve both been alone for 2 months and in outside areas
Tara, I feel you on the anxiety thing. Mental health is so important and relevant. I just want you to know I think you are so nice and that you care so much about what other people think. Don't apologize and just live your life honey. No one is going to be healthy being locked up for a year. Things are getting better and it's important to stay safe but also take care of your mind and go out there. It's ok. Who cares what people think you're not doing anything wrong.
I agree 100% I live in Houston, which has reopened and there’s definitely great risk with how normal people are taking this. The streets are full right now. There’s measures but obviously not everyone cares that much. I personally see my boyfriend and he sees me and that is okay and I don’t think anyone can tell somebody they are “quarantining” wrong. If you are being safe, you’re helping everybody but you also do have to help your own mental health😘❤️ thanks for saying this Tara!
I live in Houston as well.... and my family is keeping me in as much as possible and I can only see my boyfriend with 6 ft distance 😐😐😐 it’s not helping that my bf and even his mom keep on asking when I’m going to come over
Lan yang girl it’s ok I feel you. My mom for a month did not let me see my boyfriend and we’ve been together for a year. Patience, things will be ok. I’m sure he misses you too!❤️ We’ll get through this
The fact that some people are “policing” what others do is absurd. People need to mind their own business and understand that most people are reasonable and responsible and do not want to get or pass this disease. We live in a free country. We’re all free to make the best decisions we can for our own lives and households. It’s up to each person to assess their own situations. All states, cities, counties and neighborhoods are different. We can’t stay shut down forever. At some point life has to go on and we will just have to adapt. Tara, there is nothing wrong with you seeing your friend. Don’t worry about anyone who might criticize you. You’re a very conscientious person who is obviously taking all the recommended precautions. ❤️
I went to Lowe’s yesterday to buy flowers and plants because I needed to get out of the house and have projects to do at home. I’m planting and so are my neighbors 😂. I hope people realize that there are ways to be safe when they are outdoors.
You’re vlogs are one of the only things keeping me sane during this time! I definitely agree that this is such a controversial conversation but I think you handled it beautifully and I love what you said about how important maintaining mental health during this unpredictable time. I really appreciate you opening up and being honest about how you feel! I’ve been watching you for years and will always support you! ❤️
The only reason I haven’t seen any of my friends is because I’ve still been working and we all still live with our parents but if we lived on our own we would probably hangout and obviously be careful about it
I think you have a very sensible attitude towards the current situation and thank you for talking about it. It's just harder for some people to be alone and you're taking all the advised precautions. I've only started watching you since lockdown but I love your channel and I love that you keep it real ✌💖
I can’t believe you’re nervous to talk about going on a socially distanced hike meanwhile people I know are going to the bars at the beach in my town 😭 My poor dad is also an Uber driver, he’s struggling big time right now :(
I live with my boyfriend and my anxiety is high too. Over the weekend I finally saw my best friend. And we have both been quarantined and took precautions when we saw each other! I totally get how you feel and how sometimes you just need to see your friends. I see nothing wrong with what you did !
we can't stay cooped up at home forever or until there's a vaccine. it's just not physically possible. we are going to have to go back to work and life and find ways to live while also being as safe as possible. which is exactly what you did! so i think you're setting a wonderful example for your subscribers and no one should be mad about that. it's eventually something we are all going to have to do
@@hailey3261 We are already there because of all these people that are so easily manipulated and brainwashed by the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians.
Tara, thank you for sharing this! I think your mental health is so super important and I’m proud of you for doing what was best for your state of mind. Don’t let anyone tell you what you did was wrong. It’s 100% necessary.
Throughout your whole disclaimer I’m just like, “I need to get those biker shorts” 😂 so cute! I’m happy you were able to get some sunshine & see pretty flowers. ♡
love how honest you are with us. I think what you did was done as safely as possible and it is completely understandable that after being alone for so long u wanted to see a friend in a safe way. we support u!!
I feel you girl. Ive been quarantining for 2 months just like my friends and the beaches and parks finally reopen here in hawaii. We just went on a hike last weekend and it was amazing
Sometimes you really have to take a step back and make sure that you’re taking care of yourself too. My grandma past away mid April (not covid related) and my family gathered to say goodbye. We stood in the same room. I hugged my mom, my aunts, my cousins. It might not have been what was safest, but it’s what was right for our family. I can’t imagine if we had gone through that moment without comforting each other. Thank you for being so open and honest! I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we hear you.
love how honest you are about things, here were just starting to loosen things off but im hoping that they arent doing it too soon. i agree i can see the rest of the year being a total wipe out sadly but it must be the case. please try and not beat yourself up about everything its totally understandable. great video
You do you girl! It comforts me that you are able to be up front and real for us your viewers. I also struggle with severe anxiety, most people who are viewed from the public eye don’t share personal struggles. People are always needing to be perfect when online. So thank you for posting this little PSA, you got this! Stay healthy and positive!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Tara, you are doing so well bringing awareness. I have sooo many people that I follow who have been going out to parties and different events. They are not even close to taking the precautions you are taking. I think it’s good to see a friend who has also been following rules because like u said ur mental health will go insane. Good for you for speaking up about it tho, u shouldn’t have to feel bad! There are worst people out there and you aren’t one of them.
You do NOT need to do anything different. Everyone will be exposed. Most already have been. Less than 1% have died. 99% LIVE!!!! The regular seasonal flu kills more people. H1N1 killed more people. I personally know nurses, doctors and surgeons here in the "epicenter" of Michigan. The hospitals are EMPTY. The ICUs are EMPTY. More people are dying from non-covid issues due to this COVID19 nonsense. I have had direct conversations with these medical professionals. People need to educate themselves and stop listening to the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians. Unfortunately, some are easily manipulated and brainwashed.
Don’t worry girl. I’m in the same boat. I think as long as you trust the person you’re seeing and be as safe as possible that’s all you can really do. Bc like u said.. it’s impossible to never see anyone again for the rest the year!
Honestly this shouldn’t be hard to talk about I say this to say you shouldn’t be ashamed for needing social contact I live with my husband and baby and I’m still losing my shit WITH company lol so I couldnt imagine doing this alone. And when you really think about it other you tubers have done way worse I’ve seen them on Tik tok with a hous full of friends don’t beat yourself up over this!
This video is just another reason I love to watch you. In my mind there is nothing wrong with seeing a friend as long as you're taking ever precaution to be safe. I'm sorry we live in a world that makes us have to think about small things like seeing our friends but I'm glad you're honest about it. I hope you stay safe and healthy!
i respect you for being honest with this. i have been doing the same. social distancing is very important but also life goes on and we need to return to some level of normalcy. also studies have shown that getting covid-19 outside is quite a bit less likely than if you’re inside.
you're probably the best example of how to go about this! I live on long island and our nature preserve and beaches have remained open and I've been going with my parents when they walk their dog, all masked up. we are in similar situation where neither parties are seeing anyone else. I think that the toll of being physically alone for as long as this is projected to go on for is just not feasible the toll on mental health is really bad so having a designated safe friend is such a good idea!
TBH I feel like during this whole thing all any body can do is to do whatever they are comfortable with while putting the fewest amount of ppl at risk. To some people, they feel fine getting takeout, to others they couldn't imagine doing it. Some people are comfortable going on socially distanced walks while others are not. It's all about comfortability. this is a time to promote positivity and not shame people for "not quarantining properly" :) you do you and stay healthy xx
please don't feel bad about it!! i also live alone and i've been going CRAZY with not being able to see anyone. as long as you're safe i say don't fret too much!!
Girl don't worry!! Lol it's okay to go on a walk with your friend! I'm lucky enough to live next door to my best friend so I have a neighborhood walking buddy :)
Amen Tara! Don’t worry about what the scared people will say. I live in CO and I’ve been seeing my immediate family and some friends since the beginning. I refuse to live in fear. The people that are scared need to stay home. Don’t bother the people who want to continue to live their lives the best we can right now! 🙌🏼
I feel bad that Tara has to always defend what she’s either doing or saying. Girl, you should not have to defend everything you do or say! You seriously are one of the few that I feel like actually has common sense and is completely realistic with your life! You’re only human like the rest of us and definitely need to get out and see friends and all. People who hate are just jealous and bored most likely. I finally had my best friend over and we hung out outside in my backyard keeping our distance with a couple drinks just talking for hours! Of course we could have just FaceTime or texted like we have been for months but seeing her face to face finally really did wonders for both of our mental health! We both have been struggling with anxiety pretty badly lately and having that face to face interaction helped tremendously! You should not have to always defend your actions though and I feel so bad that so many damn haters have made you feel so guarded to have to explain/defend yourself all the time. You are so amazing! I recently started following you from tiktok a couple months ago and you’ve quickly become one of my favorites to watch (especially during this crazy time)! Keep doing you girl and forget the haters or anyone who goes against you! The real ones will always care and support no matter what and you’re actually a real one! Thank you for that! Those who don’t like that just need to move along! Get out and do you girl and stay safe like you have been and all will be well! 💪🏼 ❤️
Mental health is just as important. The fact that people judge that is so sad. Depression is an extremely scary thing to go through, especially alone in a scary world like this. We’re all doing our best. Glad you went out & had a good time 💗
You are good, seeing a select few people! Your mental health totally comes first. I don’t have anxiety and even I am being mentally affected by this, so i can’t imagine how hard it has been for you!
Just do you. Thats crazy you have to like have a talk about this like your coming out with crazy news. You have your small circle and seeing one person isn’t a big deal. People just need to chill.
Sara Watkiss I don’t think you understand what communism really is. You owe it to those at risk to protect them and yourself. This pandemic will bring out the true essence of people. You either chose to be selfish or you chose the good of everyone over your personally scientifically incorrect opinions.
im a stage 4 cancer survivor and i can say you are doing it the right way. As long as you stay in your group bubbles and no one has symptoms is ok! and as long as you are not going in crowds and taking all those precautions. you're good girl! i lived this life for 4 years
i feel so bad that you have to think this far into whether or not to share a day that brought you so much happiness ! :( people are harsh. but i totally agree with you girl. i’ve been hanging out with the same (3) people and since i’m working, i’ve been spending more time with my coworkers outside of work since we’re together most of the week anyway! keep doing things that make you feel good 💛💛
Mental health is so important and can’t be ignored even now. You’ve been safe and that’s all anyone can ask, in my opinion. Proud of you for putting yourself out there and sharing this.
What you are doing is completely fine!! Especially if you both have been home for that long not even going to the store you guys don’t even need to wear masks outside since it’s hard to breathe!
Tara Michelle Vlogs oh that’s interesting! Stuff has started to open by me but before we required to wear masks inside stores but not outside. Seeing people socially distant, especially when you live alone, is so important for your mental health!
@@taramichellevlogz but the girl didnt have a mask on in the clip? (I mean I don't care lol everything is open where I live and dont require masks) just curious why you would need to
i fully support your decision to go outside while taking precautions especially if it benefits mental health. i am personally an introvert but i totally understand how you want to get out of the house!! i think the way you are showing your viewers the ways you go outside is a great example of things other people can do to get outside as well. you are being extremely cautious and i think of you continue to show how cautious you’re being, more people will follow in your footsteps!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I live alone my immediate family is scattered across the country now. I have extreme anxiety and after 56 days alone with a few mental breakdowns I finally just went to see some friends and it helped my mental health SOOOOO much. Felt super alone by breaking the distancing to see my friends so thank you!!
Girl you live your life. I don’t understand how someone could hate on you. Depression from being completely isolated is such a high risk problem right now. You don’t have to explain yourself. I’m sorry you deal with those people. Shows more about them than it does you. Love you! Keep being strong!
I found and started watching your channel during quarantine. I really enjoy your vlogs. You have done great to have been completely alone at home for 2 months. I think there is nothing wrong with the way you saw your friend. Meeting someone who has been quarantined alone too is totally different than going in a crowd of people right now. So don’t feel bad. You needed that day!
100% agree with your decision for your hike - I think that is all how we need to look at it. Take real precautions, but also we need to learn to live our lives because this will be a long term change. Happy you were able to do something fun!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiking with a friend! You are fully following all state and local guidelines. I live in San Diego and I agree, we al need to get out or we will ALL go crazy. Mental health is a part of your overall wellbeing.
I think you are being as responsible as you can while also staying sane. My friends and I have resorted to weekly backyard hangs in a circle and it's been such a mood lifter!
There’s risks in everything you do for this viruses that you cannot avoid. I agree that people’s mental health is very important during this time. Stay Strong and we can all get through this together.
Do not apologize for taking care of your mental health! You have been taking this so incredibly seriously, have taken all of the precautions and aren't breaking any rules! social distancing walks are a life saver! Keep doing you girl, we love ya!
This goes for everyone else. If you go out, leave your accessories like your necklaces, bracelets, etc at home. Also once you come home, quickly change your clothes and put them in a separate bin or go straight to the shower if you can. And those washable masks, wash them in hot water and bleach right away.
I’m so happy that you’re sharing everything you’re doing right now! Seeing youtubers who are able to talk about their own struggles with the virus publicly are really helping me realize that I don’t have to beat myself up for seeing my closest friend in order to help cope with things too. We’re all gonna handle things different ways and we all have to weigh our own risks in order to keep ourselves safe, but mental health is important too! Thanks for always being so open and honest, I’ve been a fan for years and it’s one of my favorite things about your channel. I’m so excited to keep watching the quarantine vlogs!!
my therapist goes on walks with her friend all the time. They keep 6 feet apart and wear masks. You are good. you took precautions and you got some much needed social interaction.
Do what you think what’s best for you and your situation. Life is life. We moved on from the Spanish flu pandemic and we will love on from this. It will take time, but there could be another crazy wave where everything gets shut down again so maybe just keep in the back of your mind that things continuously change, maybe if things start to be like that find someone to isolate with. Sending you best wishes you and hoping your healthy and happy and having a great time. I know personally your videos have helped me a lot during this quarantine. You got this dude!
i love her videos honestly, like i’m so happy this video has only positive feedback!! it’s okay to go out especially since you’ve been actually quarantining yourself, most of my friends are still partying and they don’t care and it’s sad
you've done so well! such a role model! do not worry about seeing a friend, there is PRETTY MUCH NO HARM in that and since you're living alone even less.
You are being very responsible!! I’ve seen other people totally ignoring social distancing! Thanks for setting a great example of our situation right now!! 💕💕thank you for being honest and dont worry about that haters!!
You do you. I have anxiety and haven't seen anyone I know since February, my brother came to town for work and I met him for a social distance coffee. It was theeeee best day, just to see someone I knew in person. Glad you had a chance to meet up with a friend.
I struggle with anxiety and depression so this quarantine time has not been great but I think if you are safe about it and take all the precautions that is all you can do ❤️❤️
omg no you're totally fine seeing your friend!! it sounds like you were both really safe about it - both of you had been quarantining and you can always hang out with other people with a mask and social distancing - as long as you're taking the precautions! it sounds like you're super conscious about it so you're good girl!
Tara, I honestly respect the fact that you spoke out about this. Many influencers have been breaking the lock in since the beginning and have been lying about it, as if they are above the law. You have taken all the precautions to ensure that You feel and are safe. Thank you for being open and honest with us.
Bless your sweet heart! I’m probably one of your oldest followers....so as a mom I have to say you are totally fine. You obviously needed this and you went out safely. Glad you had fun!
I’ve had the exact same thoughts about this. I don’t think what you did was wrong AT ALL. If you have both been social distancing, I think you’re fine.
Mental Health is 1000% top priority! I been quarantined with my boyfriend and we have both said we would be going crazy rn with out eachother company! Dont feel nervous you took care of yourself in a safe manner
💯That AND people always being so mean, nasty and just down right rude to others. I actually came across a response to someone’s comment (on this video actually) that was just uncalled for. She was so rude and just strait up mean for quite literally no reason.. sorry for the long ass response, but lately on every social media platform I feel like ALL I see is nastiness. And it’s really been bothering me. You never know what someone’s going through. I don’t understand why some people can’t just keep scrolling past a comment that they “don’t like” auhyuhyuh- end rant ✌🏼❤️😊
I completely agree with what you said about mental health. It’s so important and I think we need to find a way to balance it that works for us. For me, with depression and anxiety, my sister & her boyfriend (who have also been isolating) come over for a game night every once in awhile because we need that for our mental health. You need to do what’s right for you, while still saying safe. You’ve done nothing wrong ❤️☺️
as long as you're being safe, careful, and responsible with who and where you're coming in contact with others it is completely understandable that you choose to leave your house. Love you Tara
As someone who also lives alone it is harder for us than others. Good on you for getting out of the house and doing it in a safe way. Looks like it helped you and looked like a lovely place to hike. I wish it was that warm in Australia at the moment! 🙂
I live alone in northern Italy near Venice and we are on our 3rd month of quarantine. I definitely feel you about how it is so important to take care of your mental health during times like these. I speak to a therapist over the phone every month and take my dog on a walk as much as possible since I am working from home just so I have a sense of some sort of normalcy and can see actual people out and about (FaceTiming with friends and family can only help so much!) Stay strong there in LA! We got this 💪
I work @ a major retail location w/ groceries and wouldn't be out if I didn't Have to! Your body, your health, your decision! Your took safety measures and No One knows how you are feeling But you! My favorite quote "Those that matter don't mind and those that mind shouldn't matter! " I would LOSE my mind not being able to go outside! Stay Safe!
As a nurse I can say I’m pretty proud of how well you’ve done with social distancing and staying at home thus far. It’s okay to go out on walks and enjoy some fresh air! You definitely deserve it
Thanks for your services during this time!! It's soo appreciated!
can we all appreciate how Tara is probably one of the most relatable youtubers. She’s not living in a huge house and choosing to use her money to invest in herself as a brand by having a clothing company. She’s probably one of the only influencers who takes her job seriously and it’s so refreshing and appreciated 💕
Right ? I dig her lol
Agreed
Literally the only thing not relatable is that she had a insane old lady living next to her😂
Exactly, she works her ass off!
Honestly, as long as you’re being as safe as you can I don’t see anything wrong with having a designated safe friend that you allow yourself to see. especially when you’re all alone 99% of the time. I don’t fault you whatsoever.
couldn't agree more!!
I'm in the UK and I am also by myself (in a studio to make matters worse) It's been very hard. We are now allowed social distancing walks, it's making things so much better for me.
Nonsense! You should always be as safe as you can be. If you are sick, stay home. If you want to live in fear, stay home. Let the rest of us have our rights and freedoms back. You are taking them from us.
My mom and I hugged the other day. We don’t live together and I had just had a really awful panic attack from just missing everyone and a sense of normalcy. So we hugged. It is a risk, but sometimes you have to weight those risks and maybe take them! I am thankful that you shared this, it definitely makes me feel better!
Agreed!! What I wouldn't do to hug my parents right now...
Mom hugs are unlike any other.
Hang in there, girl. We’re getting through this!
♥️♥️ Love this comment. I am a grown woman & live alone and guess what, I need my Momma!!! Especially right now!! Haven’t been around another soul besides her in months, I always keep my distance while around her but I did get a hug the other day on my birthday and we both have zero regrets. We will all persevere through this, no matter how differently we all do so!
Times like this make me feel blessed to be a grown woman who lives at home. I get to see my family on the regular since we all live together. We're super tight knit and I'd go crazy not being able to see them! Also, agreed with what other people said: you don't need to explain yourself! Every person's situation is different and it sounds like you guys really were thoughtful about everything. While I'm in a high risk group (asthma) and my Dad is diabetic, I know I need to be more careful (especially since me and Mom and are ESSENTIAL employees lol). But yeah you still need that human contact! We actually just moved at the end of March, I finally live in the same state as my bestie... but we haven't been able to see each other and it's rough! We're currently talking/planning the safest way to see each other now that restrictions are being lifted. But yeah, you did nothing wrong girl! If anything, you went over the proper way for people to handle wanting to see others. :)
I miss my mom as well. I havent seen them since March 15 :(
You just talking about Tasha and Starbucks and the hike it clearly was a healthy thing for and made you happy you do not have to explain yourself during these times you truly have to do what is best for you. The numbers for
Suicide and abuse have went up.... people need people and contact with other people.
thank you, she truly doesn’t need to apologize it’s her life and she is not the only one who goes out😤
Mental health day. Yea
Ya I socially distance visited with my friend too. Both of us live alone so I get you! It’s risky but both of us were getting depressed in the house.
Agreed! I feel so bad that she is always defending everything she does! She doesn’t need to! She literally isn’t doing anything wrong yet others have made her to feel like she has and that’s so messed up! I have noticed her defending her actions more and more for just normal things. We all need to continue to live our lives and we can be smart and safe about it still. My best friend and I have been struggling real bad lately with anxiety and finally just got together in my backyard and kept our distance but just needed to be able to talk face to face! It helped so much! Lack of human interaction can be seriously damaging for some. Physical health is super important right now but that shouldn’t overshadow mental health either! Mental health is just as important!!!
Allyson Porter this was very well said!!!! And completely true! Mental health is just as important as physical if not more. There are safe ways to do things. But having everyone get anxiety or increase their anxiety or depression is not okay... and if a little human contact from 6 feet away is just something that is going to brighten your day then so be it. You have to do what’s best for you. We are not meant to be alone. Also I agree 100% she has been stating her case for everything. And I get it she has an audience but also it’s her life like the whole witch thing never had to explain half of that to us it wasn’t a reality show or her relationship like that’s a lot to tell a friend or family member let alone the internet. I have been watching her for years and it sucks that she and other you tubers have to explain everything because someone has something to say about it.
It seems like everyone is supportive in the comments. You do you girllll, you're taking precautions to be safe.
i know I'm kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

The witch: *why hello there*
😂
Haha. This literally just made me lol. Thank you. I needed that. Ps: haha ohhhh the witch. It’s crazy how invested most of us are when it comes to the updates on that woman 😂
Omg 😂😂😂
Meag_ Ken I love her channel, witch content or not but that was the first thing that came to my head when she said that😂
Funniest thing all day!
I’m a big at-home pusher and you’re fine! Don’t stress this. You did everything right and so did your friend. You have masks, sanitizer and you’re outdoors. You’re fine. It’s the concerts/movie theaters/festivals/etc that will not be happening this year- unless the scientists come up with something. I went to the beach yesterday with my kids and hubs. First time for us. But we live in a small town that doesn’t have a crazy population. So navigating outdoors is very easy.
You should just put a visual checklist for viewers whenever you do an “going out” vid, that way you appease your anxiety and are responsible to the people watching you. Glad you enjoyed the fresh air- have fun 🥰
Foolishness. Masks are ineffective. Less than 1% of the population has died from COVID19. 99% LIVE!!!! You have been manipulated and brainwashed. Educate yourself. Stop listening to the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians. I know people in the medical field...personally. The regular seasonal flu is much worse and kills way more people. H1N1 killed way more people. People, such as yourself, are why our rights and freedoms are being stripped from us right now. You all bend over and take it up the ass...unfortunately. if you are sick, stay home! If you want to live in fear, stay home! smdh
Erik Renner it sounds like you’ve been listening to “msm” of your own ilk. Because whoever told you the handmade/surgical masks are to prevent catching, gaslit you.
Handmade/Surgical Masks are used to prevent one’s OWN germs from spreading to others. This is not new information nor new studies. Society has been using them properly for decades. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like you understand how they are used correctly. But I can explain it so that you can educate yourself. Wearing your OWN mask makes you responsible for your OWN germs and protecting others from your OWN germs
But we appreciate you participating in the conversation.
I don’t think she needs to put up a visual checklist. She doesn’t need to explain herself.
I literally do not blame you at allllll for getting outside with a friend. I hung out with my friend last weekend because I was getting really anxious and needed to get out! I feel like it’s really good for mental health in general and if you’ve both been quarantined separately for weeeeks then I don’t really see the problem!!! stay safe out there though 🤍
thank you for being understanding girl!!!!
Completely agree with you on this one! It’s good to prioritize your mental health during all of this! Fresh air is good, and clearly you were smart about it. This is coming from someone with asthma, I go on walks and have socially distant bonfires with friends. It’s okay. It helps with anxiety and as long as you’re safe, you’re doing what you can! Love your videos :)
“You have to look at your own situation” -good way to talk about it
THANK YOU for addressing the mental health aspect of all of this. A lot of people are just brushing it aside and it sucks.
girl, your totally fine! you have been one of the people i’ve seen that has truly taken this whole situation so seriously. i have friends not taking it as serious and are being selfish but you definitely aren’t! you took all the correct precautions that needed to be taken! thank you for being honest!! love you!!
Just listening to you talk about your thought process behind deciding to go on a hike with your friend and the precautions you took shows how responsible and thoughtful you’re being. Thanks for sharing where you’re at with all of this! I live alone as well and this was so relatable for me.
Girl you're totally okay! You're being totally safe and no one can be totally alone through this all!
I don't believe there is anything wrong in seeing one friend if you are both staying safe! Nobody can expect you both to live alone and never see anybody in person. It's hard to find things to be excited about at a time like this so you have to find little senses of normalcy and excitement to stay sane and happy. I'm glad you're able to speak about the mental aspects of this whole situation
You are litterly the only person I watch during quarantine
Oh my gosh ive never gotton hearted before ilysm
Oh my gosh thank you for the likes
Same🙋🏼♀️
I feel bad you have to justify seeing a friend in these hard times, you do you girl❤️
Thanks for being so raw and honest about this all. Everyone's situation is different , I dont think any of us should be partying or having huge social gatherings.. BUT we have to survive this crazy time and you gotta do what you gotta do !
your hiking outfit is SOOO cute!!! I also went on a hike with a friend this past week! In Ithaca, the restrictions have been lifted so I was SOO happy to see a human
I feel like as long as you’re not seeing a different friend every night it’s fine. The rule is groups of less than 10 people so seeing one friend is fine? Especially if you’ve both been alone for 2 months and in outside areas
Tara, I feel you on the anxiety thing. Mental health is so important and relevant. I just want you to know I think you are so nice and that you care so much about what other people think. Don't apologize and just live your life honey. No one is going to be healthy being locked up for a year. Things are getting better and it's important to stay safe but also take care of your mind and go out there. It's ok. Who cares what people think you're not doing anything wrong.
It's not healthy to go without seeing anyone for so long. I'm glad you got to get out with a friend. Thanks for being So real. ❤💕
I agree 100% I live in Houston, which has reopened and there’s definitely great risk with how normal people are taking this. The streets are full right now. There’s measures but obviously not everyone cares that much. I personally see my boyfriend and he sees me and that is okay and I don’t think anyone can tell somebody they are “quarantining” wrong. If you are being safe, you’re helping everybody but you also do have to help your own mental health😘❤️ thanks for saying this Tara!
I live there too and notice a huge difference since it has reopened.
I live in Houston as well.... and my family is keeping me in as much as possible and I can only see my boyfriend with 6 ft distance 😐😐😐 it’s not helping that my bf and even his mom keep on asking when I’m going to come over
i would like ur comment but its at 123 likes and i dont wanna ruin that
shamangirl22 it’s crazy right!!
Lan yang girl it’s ok I feel you. My mom for a month did not let me see my boyfriend and we’ve been together for a year. Patience, things will be ok. I’m sure he misses you too!❤️ We’ll get through this
The fact that some people are “policing” what others do is absurd. People need to mind their own business and understand that most people are reasonable and responsible and do not want to get or pass this disease. We live in a free country. We’re all free to make the best decisions we can for our own lives and households. It’s up to each person to assess their own situations. All states, cities, counties and neighborhoods are different. We can’t stay shut down forever. At some point life has to go on and we will just have to adapt. Tara, there is nothing wrong with you seeing your friend. Don’t worry about anyone who might criticize you. You’re a very conscientious person who is obviously taking all the recommended precautions. ❤️
I agree. Here in Sweden people har going crazy as soon someone spends time with friends outside. Which is allowed.
I went to Lowe’s yesterday to buy flowers and plants because I needed to get out of the house and have projects to do at home. I’m planting and so are my neighbors 😂. I hope people realize that there are ways to be safe when they are outdoors.
You’re vlogs are one of the only things keeping me sane during this time! I definitely agree that this is such a controversial conversation but I think you handled it beautifully and I love what you said about how important maintaining mental health during this unpredictable time. I really appreciate you opening up and being honest about how you feel! I’ve been watching you for years and will always support you! ❤️
The only reason I haven’t seen any of my friends is because I’ve still been working and we all still live with our parents but if we lived on our own we would probably hangout and obviously be careful about it
At least you have parents and don’t live alone
maxine chan yes! Definitely so grateful that I’m at home with family 💖
I think you have a very sensible attitude towards the current situation and thank you for talking about it. It's just harder for some people to be alone and you're taking all the advised precautions. I've only started watching you since lockdown but I love your channel and I love that you keep it real ✌💖
I can’t believe you’re nervous to talk about going on a socially distanced hike meanwhile people I know are going to the bars at the beach in my town 😭
My poor dad is also an Uber driver, he’s struggling big time right now :(
Hope people get over their crazy fear soon. Lots of people a really hurting. I wish him well.
Jessica Paris i wish ur dad well :)
As single ladies that live alone, we have to do what it best for ourselves and we have to stop defending that. I do the same thing.
I live with my boyfriend and my anxiety is high too. Over the weekend I finally saw my best friend. And we have both been quarantined and took precautions when we saw each other! I totally get how you feel and how sometimes you just need to see your friends. I see nothing wrong with what you did !
we can't stay cooped up at home forever or until there's a vaccine. it's just not physically possible. we are going to have to go back to work and life and find ways to live while also being as safe as possible. which is exactly what you did! so i think you're setting a wonderful example for your subscribers and no one should be mad about that. it's eventually something we are all going to have to do
vaccines take like 2 years to develop...if we wait until we have one, we’re going to be in a depression
@@hailey3261 We are already there because of all these people that are so easily manipulated and brainwashed by the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians.
@@erikrenner if you dont mind me asking, can you please explain more?

Tara, thank you for sharing this! I think your mental health is so super important and I’m proud of you for doing what was best for your state of mind. Don’t let anyone tell you what you did was wrong. It’s 100% necessary.
Throughout your whole disclaimer I’m just like, “I need to get those biker shorts” 😂 so cute! I’m happy you were able to get some sunshine & see pretty flowers. ♡
LOLL! from fabletics, sooo cute!
I just said the same thing!! I’m literally looking for them now😂😭
love how honest you are with us. I think what you did was done as safely as possible and it is completely understandable that after being alone for so long u wanted to see a friend in a safe way. we support u!!
I feel you girl. Ive been quarantining for 2 months just like my friends and the beaches and parks finally reopen here in hawaii. We just went on a hike last weekend and it was amazing
so happy to hear you got out :)
Sometimes you really have to take a step back and make sure that you’re taking care of yourself too. My grandma past away mid April (not covid related) and my family gathered to say goodbye. We stood in the same room. I hugged my mom, my aunts, my cousins. It might not have been what was safest, but it’s what was right for our family. I can’t imagine if we had gone through that moment without comforting each other. Thank you for being so open and honest! I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we hear you.
love how honest you are about things, here were just starting to loosen things off but im hoping that they arent doing it too soon. i agree i can see the rest of the year being a total wipe out sadly but it must be the case. please try and not beat yourself up about everything its totally understandable. great video
You do you girl! It comforts me that you are able to be up front and real for us your viewers. I also struggle with severe anxiety, most people who are viewed from the public eye don’t share personal struggles. People are always needing to be perfect when online. So thank you for posting this little PSA, you got this! Stay healthy and positive!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Tara, you are doing so well bringing awareness. I have sooo many people that I follow who have been going out to parties and different events. They are not even close to taking the precautions you are taking. I think it’s good to see a friend who has also been following rules because like u said ur mental health will go insane. Good for you for speaking up about it tho, u shouldn’t have to feel bad! There are worst people out there and you aren’t one of them.
You do NOT need to do anything different. Everyone will be exposed. Most already have been. Less than 1% have died. 99% LIVE!!!! The regular seasonal flu kills more people. H1N1 killed more people. I personally know nurses, doctors and surgeons here in the "epicenter" of Michigan. The hospitals are EMPTY. The ICUs are EMPTY. More people are dying from non-covid issues due to this COVID19 nonsense. I have had direct conversations with these medical professionals. People need to educate themselves and stop listening to the MSM (propaganda machine) and politicians. Unfortunately, some are easily manipulated and brainwashed.
Don’t worry girl. I’m in the same boat. I think as long as you trust the person you’re seeing and be as safe as possible that’s all you can really do. Bc like u said.. it’s impossible to never see anyone again for the rest the year!
Honestly this shouldn’t be hard to talk about I say this to say you shouldn’t be ashamed for needing social contact I live with my husband and baby and I’m still losing my shit WITH company lol so I couldnt imagine doing this alone. And when you really think about it other you tubers have done way worse I’ve seen them on Tik tok with a hous full of friends don’t beat yourself up over this!
This video is just another reason I love to watch you. In my mind there is nothing wrong with seeing a friend as long as you're taking ever precaution to be safe. I'm sorry we live in a world that makes us have to think about small things like seeing our friends but I'm glad you're honest about it. I hope you stay safe and healthy!
i respect you for being honest with this. i have been doing the same. social distancing is very important but also life goes on and we need to return to some level of normalcy. also studies have shown that getting covid-19 outside is quite a bit less likely than if you’re inside.
Nonsense. Please educate yourself.
you're probably the best example of how to go about this! I live on long island and our nature preserve and beaches have remained open and I've been going with my parents when they walk their dog, all masked up. we are in similar situation where neither parties are seeing anyone else. I think that the toll of being physically alone for as long as this is projected to go on for is just not feasible the toll on mental health is really bad so having a designated safe friend is such a good idea!
TBH I feel like during this whole thing all any body can do is to do whatever they are comfortable with while putting the fewest amount of ppl at risk. To some people, they feel fine getting takeout, to others they couldn't imagine doing it. Some people are comfortable going on socially distanced walks while others are not. It's all about comfortability. this is a time to promote positivity and not shame people for "not quarantining properly" :) you do you and stay healthy xx
please don't feel bad about it!! i also live alone and i've been going CRAZY with not being able to see anyone. as long as you're safe i say don't fret too much!!
Girl don't worry!! Lol it's okay to go on a walk with your friend! I'm lucky enough to live next door to my best friend so I have a neighborhood walking buddy :)
Amen Tara! Don’t worry about what the scared people will say. I live in CO and I’ve been seeing my immediate family and some friends since the beginning. I refuse to live in fear. The people that are scared need to stay home. Don’t bother the people who want to continue to live their lives the best we can right now! 🙌🏼
I feel bad that Tara has to always defend what she’s either doing or saying. Girl, you should not have to defend everything you do or say! You seriously are one of the few that I feel like actually has common sense and is completely realistic with your life! You’re only human like the rest of us and definitely need to get out and see friends and all. People who hate are just jealous and bored most likely. I finally had my best friend over and we hung out outside in my backyard keeping our distance with a couple drinks just talking for hours! Of course we could have just FaceTime or texted like we have been for months but seeing her face to face finally really did wonders for both of our mental health! We both have been struggling with anxiety pretty badly lately and having that face to face interaction helped tremendously! You should not have to always defend your actions though and I feel so bad that so many damn haters have made you feel so guarded to have to explain/defend yourself all the time. You are so amazing! I recently started following you from tiktok a couple months ago and you’ve quickly become one of my favorites to watch (especially during this crazy time)! Keep doing you girl and forget the haters or anyone who goes against you! The real ones will always care and support no matter what and you’re actually a real one! Thank you for that! Those who don’t like that just need to move along! Get out and do you girl and stay safe like you have been and all will be well! 💪🏼 ❤️
Mental health is just as important. The fact that people judge that is so sad. Depression is an extremely scary thing to go through, especially alone in a scary world like this. We’re all doing our best. Glad you went out & had a good time 💗
You're clearly being very responsible, I'm glad you're getting out with a friend and doing what you need to for yourself.
You are good, seeing a select few people! Your mental health totally comes first. I don’t have anxiety and even I am being mentally affected by this, so i can’t imagine how hard it has been for you!
Just do you. Thats crazy you have to like have a talk about this like your coming out with crazy news. You have your small circle and seeing one person isn’t a big deal. People just need to chill.
you shouldnt let the government dictate how you live your life. GO OUT and stop the spread of communism!
But it’s unhealthy to live Alone when struggling with mental health issues
@@SaraWatkiss Girl, I don't think you know what communism is.
Exactly!
Sara Watkiss I don’t think you understand what communism really is. You owe it to those at risk to protect them and yourself. This pandemic will bring out the true essence of people. You either chose to be selfish or you chose the good of everyone over your personally scientifically incorrect opinions.
im a stage 4 cancer survivor and i can say you are doing it the right way. As long as you stay in your group bubbles and no one has symptoms is ok! and as long as you are not going in crowds and taking all those precautions. you're good girl! i lived this life for 4 years
i feel so bad that you have to think this far into whether or not to share a day that brought you so much happiness ! :( people are harsh. but i totally agree with you girl. i’ve been hanging out with the same (3) people and since i’m working, i’ve been spending more time with my coworkers outside of work since we’re together most of the week anyway! keep doing things that make you feel good 💛💛
Mental health is so important and can’t be ignored even now. You’ve been safe and that’s all anyone can ask, in my opinion. Proud of you for putting yourself out there and sharing this.
What you are doing is completely fine!! Especially if you both have been home for that long not even going to the store you guys don’t even need to wear masks outside since it’s hard to breathe!
actually in LA we're required to wear them everywhere!
Tara Michelle Vlogs oh that’s interesting! Stuff has started to open by me but before we required to wear masks inside stores but not outside. Seeing people socially distant, especially when you live alone, is so important for your mental health!
@@taramichellevlogz but the girl didnt have a mask on in the clip? (I mean I don't care lol everything is open where I live and dont require masks) just curious why you would need to
i fully support your decision to go outside while taking precautions especially if it benefits mental health. i am personally an introvert but i totally understand how you want to get out of the house!! i think the way you are showing your viewers the ways you go outside is a great example of things other people can do to get outside as well. you are being extremely cautious and i think of you continue to show how cautious you’re being, more people will follow in your footsteps!
Of you are being safe it‘s totally fine, here in Switzerland basically everything is open again
That's true
I wish I lived in Switzerland:,(
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I live alone my immediate family is scattered across the country now. I have extreme anxiety and after 56 days alone with a few mental breakdowns I finally just went to see some friends and it helped my mental health SOOOOO much. Felt super alone by breaking the distancing to see my friends so thank you!!
You and your friend did it in a safe way so you're fine!! & i love your honesty about it and told us instead of hiding it (:
Girl you live your life. I don’t understand how someone could hate on you. Depression from being completely isolated is such a high risk problem right now. You don’t have to explain yourself. I’m sorry you deal with those people. Shows more about them than it does you. Love you! Keep being strong!
Girl you do you! Glad you're finding new and safe ways to get through these days!
I found and started watching your channel during quarantine. I really enjoy your vlogs. You have done great to have been completely alone at home for 2 months. I think there is nothing wrong with the way you saw your friend. Meeting someone who has been quarantined alone too is totally different than going in a crowd of people right now. So don’t feel bad. You needed that day!
Don’t feel bad for living your life girl...literally if anyone criticizes you for this they are going overboard.
Taking care of your mental health especially during these crazy times is an important priority! I love you Tara and glad you are staying safe!
tara it’s totally okay if you’re being safe about this :) mental health is key
100% agree with your decision for your hike - I think that is all how we need to look at it. Take real precautions, but also we need to learn to live our lives because this will be a long term change. Happy you were able to do something fun!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiking with a friend! You are fully following all state and local guidelines. I live in San Diego and I agree, we al need to get out or we will ALL go crazy. Mental health is a part of your overall wellbeing.
I think you are being as responsible as you can while also staying sane. My friends and I have resorted to weekly backyard hangs in a circle and it's been such a mood lifter!
There’s risks in everything you do for this viruses that you cannot avoid. I agree that people’s mental health is very important during this time. Stay Strong and we can all get through this together.
Do not apologize for taking care of your mental health! You have been taking this so incredibly seriously, have taken all of the precautions and aren't breaking any rules! social distancing walks are a life saver! Keep doing you girl, we love ya!
This goes for everyone else. If you go out, leave your accessories like your necklaces, bracelets, etc at home. Also once you come home, quickly change your clothes and put them in a separate bin or go straight to the shower if you can. And those washable masks, wash them in hot water and bleach right away.
Don't be a moron. Educate yourself. Please!
Agree with most but I saw that masks should be washed with only hot water and detergent. Not bleach.
I’m so happy that you’re sharing everything you’re doing right now! Seeing youtubers who are able to talk about their own struggles with the virus publicly are really helping me realize that I don’t have to beat myself up for seeing my closest friend in order to help cope with things too. We’re all gonna handle things different ways and we all have to weigh our own risks in order to keep ourselves safe, but mental health is important too! Thanks for always being so open and honest, I’ve been a fan for years and it’s one of my favorite things about your channel. I’m so excited to keep watching the quarantine vlogs!!
my therapist goes on walks with her friend all the time. They keep 6 feet apart and wear masks. You are good. you took precautions and you got some much needed social interaction.
Do what you think what’s best for you and your situation. Life is life. We moved on from the Spanish flu pandemic and we will love on from this. It will take time, but there could be another crazy wave where everything gets shut down again so maybe just keep in the back of your mind that things continuously change, maybe if things start to be like that find someone to isolate with. Sending you best wishes you and hoping your healthy and happy and having a great time. I know personally your videos have helped me a lot during this quarantine. You got this dude!
literally JUST finished my online lecture... so so happy to watch this after that!!💗✨
perfect timing!
i love her videos honestly, like i’m so happy this video has only positive feedback!! it’s okay to go out especially since you’ve been actually quarantining yourself, most of my friends are still partying and they don’t care and it’s sad
you've done so well! such a role model! do not worry about seeing a friend, there is PRETTY MUCH NO HARM in that and since you're living alone even less.
thank youuuu 🥺🥺
You are being very responsible!! I’ve seen other people totally ignoring social distancing! Thanks for setting a great example of our situation right now!! 💕💕thank you for being honest and dont worry about that haters!!
WAKING UP TO WATCHING A TARA VIDEO IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD
You do you. I have anxiety and haven't seen anyone I know since February, my brother came to town for work and I met him for a social distance coffee. It was theeeee best day, just to see someone I knew in person. Glad you had a chance to meet up with a friend.
I struggle with anxiety and depression so this quarantine time has not been great but I think if you are safe about it and take all the precautions that is all you can do ❤️❤️
omg no you're totally fine seeing your friend!! it sounds like you were both really safe about it - both of you had been quarantining and you can always hang out with other people with a mask and social distancing - as long as you're taking the precautions! it sounds like you're super conscious about it so you're good girl!
tara honestly seeing friends once in a while isnt bad right now! we need you sane so you can keep us sane!
Tara, I honestly respect the fact that you spoke out about this. Many influencers have been breaking the lock in since the beginning and have been lying about it, as if they are above the law. You have taken all the precautions to ensure that You feel and are safe. Thank you for being open and honest with us.
In my country now everythink is open! And we don’t have any corona cases for 2 weeks now 😬💃🏻
Same! But I'm in Texas. Everyone is out and about. Everything open for a while and no huge spikes
Bless your sweet heart! I’m probably one of your oldest followers....so as a mom I have to say you are totally fine. You obviously needed this and you went out safely. Glad you had fun!
I’ve had the exact same thoughts about this. I don’t think what you did was wrong AT ALL. If you have both been social distancing, I think you’re fine.
Mental Health is 1000% top priority! I been quarantined with my boyfriend and we have both said we would be going crazy rn with out eachother company! Dont feel nervous you took care of yourself in a safe manner
~Everything is controversial on the internet~
this is very true! lol
💯That AND people always being so mean, nasty and just down right rude to others. I actually came across a response to someone’s comment (on this video actually) that was just uncalled for. She was so rude and just strait up mean for quite literally no reason.. sorry for the long ass response, but lately on every social media platform I feel like ALL I see is nastiness. And it’s really been bothering me. You never know what someone’s going through. I don’t understand why some people can’t just keep scrolling past a comment that they “don’t like” auhyuhyuh- end rant ✌🏼❤️😊
I completely agree with what you said about mental health. It’s so important and I think we need to find a way to balance it that works for us. For me, with depression and anxiety, my sister & her boyfriend (who have also been isolating) come over for a game night every once in awhile because we need that for our mental health. You need to do what’s right for you, while still saying safe. You’ve done nothing wrong ❤️☺️
as long as you're being safe, careful, and responsible with who and where you're coming in contact with others it is completely understandable that you choose to leave your house. Love you Tara
As someone who also lives alone it is harder for us than others. Good on you for getting out of the house and doing it in a safe way. Looks like it helped you and looked like a lovely place to hike. I wish it was that warm in Australia at the moment! 🙂
This Comment section is the most wholesome 🥰 and I’m here for it
I live alone in northern Italy near Venice and we are on our 3rd month of quarantine. I definitely feel you about how it is so important to take care of your mental health during times like these. I speak to a therapist over the phone every month and take my dog on a walk as much as possible since I am working from home just so I have a sense of some sort of normalcy and can see actual people out and about (FaceTiming with friends and family can only help so much!) Stay strong there in LA! We got this 💪
You’re still doing all the right things and shops are slowly opening up so I’d say there’s absolutely no problem. Xx
I work @ a major retail location w/ groceries and wouldn't be out if I didn't Have to! Your body, your health, your decision! Your took safety measures and No One knows how you are feeling But you! My favorite quote "Those that matter don't mind and those that mind shouldn't matter! " I would LOSE my mind not being able to go outside! Stay Safe!
