    Maybe it’s just because I’ve been down but I don’t find your content depressing at all. I think it’s actually uplifting to see someone struggling with similar things to me pushing through and challenging themselves. And I can also understand why being that person online could cause you to need breaks and I hope you keep taking them as needed! Thank you for being a friend to so many :)

    Chelsea, as someone who has recently lost their partner, suddenly and unexpectedly, the realness in your videos is of great comfort. Grief is teaching me a lot of things, but one of those things is how powerful and necessary it is to face and to sit with ourselves -- through all emotions. I appreciate the authenticity and down-to-earth nature of/in your videos and know that it isn't something many can or do provide on any platform. Thank you for being honest about both your lows and your highs and for allowing us to share in them

    I came to New York as a student last year, it was my first time in the US and also the first time living alone in a studio. It was quite intimidating in the beginning but now I just love this life. This city has something to offer to everyone. I also travelled alone to SF, Vegas, Boston, Pittsburg and Chicago. Looking forward to many solo trips in the coming months!! The UA-cam algorithm was pretty smart in recommending your channel, great work!!Always look forward to your videos:) And the Tarka Dal is one of my favorites!!

    Don’t feel bad about having more “depressing” videos! ❤ We enjoy seeing a realistic, vulnerable part of your life living in NYC. That’s not to say you should feel like you need to involve your audience in on everything…but don’t feel bad about being depressing/depressed. Life is full of ups and downs, and it helps for people to get to see themselves in the content they watch. Happy go lucky UA-cam videos are a dime a dozen, but someone being real, and talking about their feelings (good and bad)…that’s something special!

    Mental health is so important. I to have recently slowed WAY down on my drinking (like 94%) and it's hard finding wholesome activities to participate in when living in a party, college city. I love watching your videos because it reminds me how important it is to be proactive with our mental health. Living alone and being single can be hard but it does offer such a powerful opportunity to really get to know oneself and grow as a person. May sound weird but I'm down to make a new virtual friend who is going through a similar life stage as me. Here if you ever wish to chat. Keep on being awesome Lady 👍

I've been pushing myself on my bike, broke 50 miles a few weeks ago and then 65 last weekend... there's no way I could do that after a night out!!!

    I've really been challenging myself my whole life but the past few years have been intense. My son moved out of home in 2018 and I decided to go to uni and study writing so I could try and become a 'digital nomad'. I also started my own business doing tours and private airport shuttles. Then COVID. Business died, moved from the country to the city, changed universities, had several articles published and lots of full on stuff. I'm 55 and now I have a new career doing comms and events for the philanthropy department of the university I go to. I have two subjects to go next semester and then I will graduate at the end of this year. Oh, and I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020. We survive don't we! Love to you from Australia xx

You're pretty, you're smart, articulate, you have a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. You are above all realistic and accepting that nothing in life is certain. I always say enjoy the little things in life because the big things are too few and far between to make a difference. You show you are enjoying the little things. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing these videos. 😉

    I swear every time I watch your videos I am reminded of myself. Definitely not depressing although I understand how it feels that way. It seems like a rut but it’s not because you’re living, striving, and trying to make each day something new. And all you do you are doing for yourself. Yeah, there are moments like having that Friday feeling but no where to go and nothing to do, but then fulfill yourself with relaxing in bed and reading. Then times like that are balanced out by the fun and beauty you experienced the next day. Then who what’s what the next day will bring, but it’s for sure you’ll make something positive out of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s inspiring me so much to focus more on my own self care.

    I don’t find your videos depressing at all, I find them very enjoyable to watch. And someone I can relate to.
    As far as the question from this video, the biggest challenge I recently had was leaving an extremely toxic company at the end of April. I had been at the job overall for 8 years, but that was with the previous company….til the toxic one completely took over about a year ago. I am very proud of myself for getting up the courage to leave and not continue to be treated so horribly. Now I am in a new job that so far I am liking.

    You are such a beautiful soul, and a strong woman - please do not feel bad about not keeping up with your videos - we miss you when you're gone, but we're always so happy when you post a new video😄!! I definitely resonate with you on being a true/deep introvert, having anxiety (fun!), and occasionally pushing myself to experience something new in life. That is sooooo important!! Life is a highway (or a rollercoaster - whatever term you choose), and there will always be ups and downs - and the fact that you are soooo open and vulnerable in your videos...I absolutely admire you for that! I am a very private person, and I even have a difficult time telling my friends/family when I am struggling with my mental health - but that's my problem, hahah! As I write this I am currently experiencing anxiety/depression, and I am fighting my way through it so I don't get too down in the trenches. But like you did, I need to find / do something that will put a pause on this, or maybe even give me a new perspective on life. So, THANK YOU so much for posting about your anxiety, my heart goes out to you - and you're not alone! 💓 Always looking forward to your next video... take as much time as you need between posting videos. Your health comes first.

    Hi Chelsea I found your videos a few months ago, and as someone who has dealt with anxiety/ panic attacks since I was in the 5th grade I understand how difficult it is to get yourself going and doing the things that are difficult on a daily basis such as even getting out of bed and going to work. I just went through a huge life change with a big move for my husbands job and have been struggling with an increase in anxiety and wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Why can’t I just do the things I need to do? Ya know what I mean! But thank you for showing the reality of how life is for a 30 something with anxiety, and single life supporting yourself. Remember take each moment one step at a time and some days one minute or hour at a time.

    Last year was a year of physical health challenges, I had two major dental surgeries, covid - all within 6 weeks. But now, I am reaping the rewards not having the surgeries looming. So that’s a bonus and I’m glad all the hard stuff is behind me. Take each day, just keep pushing and all of a sudden you’re doing it and it’s your new normal. Love your videos .

    I love that you are so down to earth and tell it like it is. Be yourself that's the advice that I would give you.I am just wondering if there is a possibility that you could move from another apartment? Just thinking if more light and another space would make you more happy? Cause I can totally relate and of course it takes time. I am 52 years old and manifested when I was like in 6th grade how my life would have been and it did. Of course it takes time and you will get there. I am glad you're feeling much better. Thank for your vlogs!

    New to your channel and am finding your willingness to be so open & upfront about the various issues in your life so refreshing, in comparison to most of the "look how great my life is" stuff that normally gets pumped out to us. Sending you best wishes from the UK and I look forward to catching up again real soon.

    I love everything about your content because your honest about what life is! NYC or wherever! I took a leap and applied for a manager job I’m still not sure I was meant for (5 months later) so I keep telling myself it is all about time. I also just turned 40 (3 days ago) and that is terrifying but I’m trying to embrace it! That said please continue your videos/content because I think it’s so awesome and I just love your authenticity!

I live alone in a big city, graduated from uni last year, got an office job and I'm trying to work life out but that's quite a lonely experience. So here I am, watching your videos and feeling less alone. Btw I went to a concert for my birthday, on my own (ny band fun fact) and it was an amazing experience and really great fun, I still can't get over it 😅 Love to you from Poland ❤

    I absolutely love your content! This year I have been challenging myself to get better with networking. The weird thing is I am very outgoing and extroverted in my friend group but I get very shy when I meet new people. I have gone to a couple networking events by myself and I have noticed that I have been opening up a lot more and find it easier to talk to strangers even is it’s just small talk.

    Hello! I've been watching for a few months now. I don't know how I found your channel but I'm greatful I did.
    We are the same person (but different in our own ways.) I would definitely be your friend irl.
    I'm at the part where you say your content is depressing. I wanted to come tell you I greatly appreciate your authentic content; please don't be anything other than what you are+living+experiencing.
    I am midlife. You are voicing and living so much of what I am. I thought I was alone in the way I feel and experience life+work. Because of a series of events in my life, I thought it was me, I'm doing something wrong, I'm broken, or whatever, but watching you live the same life and feel the same way, in a different part of America, makes me feel better. I wish I could put it into better words.
    Side note, I quit drinking bc I had to, almost 6 years ago. I am proud of you for putting down the alcohol, to whatever degree, and trying a different lifestyle.
    Alcohol is a depressant, along with making you feel terrible afterwards, it's low-vibe, and is super expensive. It adds to poor mental health.
    I am very sorry you are experiencing bad mental health at times. We are not supposed to live the way the world system is currently designed, it's not you ❤ it's a reflection of the times, I believe.

    Your content is not depressing. I don't think most of us want faux happiness and positivity. I would rather watch someone be honest and real and raw. When I lived in London I used to have lots of ups and down. I enjoyed city life but it could also make me feel very lonely and adrift sometimes. I often berated myslelf for not being successful enough or for my life not being perfect, which I realise now was silly, but we all do it. Don't be too hard on yourself :)

    Last time I challenged myself? A long time ago. Have been in a serious funk. As I’m sitting here eating a bowl of pasta watching you, made me remember to be grateful for having a space of my own. Can’t waste away depressed when so much beauty around us. As always, thank you for the true realness of a single gal. And thanks to you, you turned me into Trader Joe’s cherry juice. I mix it with sparkling water and tastes like a healthy soda.
    Love the new space.. but probably like me, it will go back eventually 😂. So good to see you back🎉. BTW, where is your comforter from?

    Wisg I wouldve spent more years SINGLE. Your channel isnt depressing at all. Its real and honest,
    Im SO jelly of yourbog studio! I know youre moving soon. But that looked like a great place
    And I hope your Marathon training is going well. I had to defer bc of an injury. Im gonna go in and support my friend who ks doing his first NYC Marathon. On Friday nites when I was single in NYC Id usually go to the gym for a Long Swim. It was so great bc the pool was empty bc ppl go out instead.
    I liked my Nerdy Weekend nights. Plus I was always marathon and triathlon training…
    so I usually had a 9+1 race or a Long Run or ride or a triathlon on weekends. Id do it all again.🗽🥰

    I challenged myself a couple of weeks ago to go out on a walk. I'm on permanent disability for OCD, and leaving my flat even to take out trash is a project, I heavily rely on ordering everything at my door, etc. It was nice weather and I missed being in the woods so I walked out. Was rewarding 🙂

I'm binge watching ur videos rn, since I'm taking a day to just be quiet and relax. Thank u so much for your content, you're amazing and so real. And BTW I had to pause because...
