    Hi Samantha, Congratulations on having the courage to speak your truth and make this video. You're awesome! I know how difficult it can be to be kind to oneself. The struggle is real, and you can only take it one minute at a time. You are not alone & the fact that you can speak openly and honestly about your struggles will help others. You are doing a great job & your efforts are appreciated! I haven't been subscribed to your channel very long, but I believe you do your best to provide honest and complete info, which is why I subscribed. Sending you lots of love from Ottawa 🥰

    This was very courageous and I think it’s such strength to express your circumstance. I would never wish it on anyone but the break up I experienced as a young woman helped to shape me into a strong young lady who was very perceptive and independent and learned to enjoy my solitude (not in the midst of a pandemic though). All that to say, we come out on the other side smarter and stronger. Better things to come.

    I love hearing what you have to say! I think it’s important to be vulnerable and share your stories in order to connect even more with your audience. I broke up with my bf of 5.5 years last year, and although I do miss him at times, I’m a very independent person and he’s very codependent. The way the rest of the relationships in my life have flourished since I broke up with him has helped me cope with that loss. I was afraid I wouldn’t have any friends when we broke up because we had a lot of mutual friends. But really it opened up the door for me to make new friends and strengthen my relationships with existing friends and even my family. I learned how to be independent again, but also lean on others when I need help. And I learned how to enjoy things by myself, such as going to concerts alone, the movies, getting dinner, getting coffee, going for drives and solo traveling. I appreciate what I learned in our relationship but I have grown so much since leaving too.

    I can totally relate to your story. I also had a break up during the pandemic after over 20 years together. It was on the cards for a long time but it took me years to have the guts to end the relationship. We still lived together until we sold the house which takes a long time in the UK. I was excited about starting dating again and getting myself out there, then our moving day ended up being the first week of lockdown in the UK. I’m not originally from the UK so my family and closest friends doesn’t live in the country, and I was not able to see them for 2 years. It was difficult at times but I feel I have adjusted to my new life now.

Girl you have every right to feel, think, say whatever you want as a human being, as a woman, as a person. Period!

    Thank you for sharing, you don't owe it to us but it's nice to hear you share a bit of yourself and perspective, however you want to. I can definitely relate to 2020 (and 2021) being traumatizing. I moved 2000 miles away from my family and most of my friends for grad school in 2019. I did have my partner with me, but once the pandemic hit we were both struggling with really toxic jobs and no escape/ refuge because we were working from home in an apartment much smaller (and more expensive) than our last ones. On top of that I was just starting my PhD, seeing people die from COVID and police violence, and being utterly disappointed in my program/department/academia after sacrificing a lot to be a part of it. I've been gradually climbing out of the deep depression and grip of anxiety since. I do feel better, but I still feel like my health is fragile and my perspective is permanently shifted. Hopefully for the better. Fingers crossed for 2023!

    So wild how you just echoed my entire experience!!! I broke up with my boyfriend of 13 years in Feb 2021. I did it because I finally realized it was the last chance I had at salvaging what was left of me, a chance to find myself again. His friends were my friends, his interests became my interests and I was closer to his family than my own. I had completely lost myself and to make matters worse, it was a toxic relationship. I lost all of those connections and things when we broke up. I now live alone in the apartment where we spent 7 years together. It is such an odd sensation, doesn't really feel like it's my own place (feels like living in a distorted memory). I also went through a DRASTIC career change, chopped off all my hair, and reconnected with a guy from my past (this also turned out to be toxic 🙄) all while trying to navigate this "new" life. I am a person who doesn't know how to do things alone despite being an introvert and very independent (doesn't sound possible but it is lol). The idea of going to a movie alone terrifies me, even leaving my house to get ice cream seems pointless. I only feel motivated to do things that serve a function (like buying groceries). That paired with working hybrid at a new job meant that I was even more isolated and thus felt insanely alone. (I could go on and on about my experience but let me wrap this up 😅) I am working on changing things now. I'm forcing myself to do things, even if I'm scared. I'm restarting therapy. I'm working on being mindful, positive and gracious. Thank you for posting this video, it's comforting to know you aren't the only person experiencing something. I know it was all for the better and we are now working towards the lives we deserve ❤️

    I totally relate and understand. I always appreciate your vulnerability and humanness. Life is hard and the world does feel scary to me too. After all I’ve been through in the last three years, while it’s taken a massive toll on my health, I’ve learned so much that I know will benefit me moving forward in my life. And by benefit I mostly mean protect me from friendships and relationships that could cause me harm. I didn’t realize how much being an empath made me so vulnerable and a target for narcissists. Learning the warning signs and how to set boundaries has changed everything for me. I think for the first time I’ve also really felt and seen how boundaries are in fact love for everyone, the person who sets them and those asked to respect them. Big hugs to you Samantha! Loved this. It would be interesting to hear what you’ve learned through all of it too and how you see yourself operating differently now in relationships.

    thank you for this. I relate, and it's helpful to hear other people talk about similar things- and to acknowledge the trauma that comes with heartbreak. In late 2019 a friendship that was very intense and wildly important to me (and, frankly, very codependent) ended very badly and in a way that was traumatizing for me. I had to confront the fact that I had forgotten how to be my own person. I was 20, finishing college while working almost full time, experiencing a heartbreak I couldn't have even imagined before involving someone I loved and trusted with my whole heart and who I thought would be in my life forever. There were moments when there didn't feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel, but god, I am so much happier now and at the end of the day I learned so much from that experience about who I am and what I deserve. I remember so clearly walking my dog bawling my eyes out one day and thinking that there was no way out of this feeling because I couldn't fix the problem but I loved her too much to walk away. And then I finally realized that I had no choice but to pick myself. I realized I had to love me enough to walk away, and that's the hardest and best decision I've ever made. The song It's Time To Go by taylor swift resonates with me so much- sometimes giving up is the strong thing. sometimes to run is the brave thing. Anyway, all of that to say- thank you for being you and speaking your truth. So much love to you

    Hey Samantha, I'm a huge fan of this type of video! Congratulations on finding the confidence to share your traumatic experience and vulnerability.
    I'd love hear your experience growing up in a predominantly white area. I'm mixed race as well (black and white), and I find most people are surprised by our different experiences.

    When I saw you post this on your Instagram I was so excited to watch it. I have been a subscriber since the Egyptian clay mask craze.. bahaha. It takes a lot of courage to come on UA-cam to talk about what you’re going through, and still are going through. I just love hearing you talk, I could listen to you all day. Thank you for the insane amount of content you create on the daily! That must be so much work but it shows and man do I love to binge your videos when I haven’t been up to date . You will always be my favourite creator/influencer. Especially that you’re Canadian too! Big hugs xxx.

    I enjoyed your vulnerability in opening up with your followers. I have been following since the boyfriend was around but never once did I expect or even want for you to talk about it until you were ready. You don’t owe us anything when it comes to sharing your personal life. But if you find healing in sharing then just know you have followers like myself who are listening ears without judgment.

    I think the last video of yours I watched was when your ex's parents came for his birthday or something as a suprise. I took a break from social media and lost your channel. This popped up in my feed today and I am happy to have found your channel again. I am sure you are far in your healing journey, but wishing you love.

    i resonate with this so strongly! i moved from the east coast US to the Southwest US to be with my bf (also of seven years) and been having trouble making friends. i work from home and most of my friends have been made in work environments. my neighborhood also doesn't have parks or anything that encourage people to socialize. I'm hoping after we move out of this neighborhood into one with a park and pool I'll socialize more. thank you so much for sharing!! big moves can feel super lonely but this helps! 💚

    Hi Samantha. Good for you for being able to make this video. Also… good for you for being honest with yourself… and taking the time you need/needed to go through all the things. I remember when I first noticed that your ex was no longer in your videos… and I was so worried about you… but there is a line that I feel that I couldn’t cross at that time. I never reached out to you… but please know that you were in my thoughts… and I’m so glad you’re currently dealing with things as they come. It’s great to hear you open up… as long as you’re feeling good about doing it. 🤍…. You’re not alone…

    New sub here and yes, love the format of real talk. Even if it's not a 2 way street exactly but just hearing about real life experiences and real reactions. I feel like I'm isolated a lot and don't have the relationship experience of "girlfriends". Going thru a bad breakup here as well (like 2wks in) and he's still showing up at my house randomly or was calling non stop, I had to unlock the num. So yeah...I feel ya on the stress levels rising

    You're telling me, when I started over a decade ago, my longterm ex made a couple appearances on yt but some people's questions/comments made me uncomfortable. I'll share small details now, but I prefer to keep relationships offline. I privatized dating stories because I didn't want that 'following' me. Whatever is posted online never really disappears, so sharing without exposing nitty gritty is more than enough imho. This video was perfect ;)

    Another great video. Funny, I've watched a few videos of you over the last couple of years and thought "hmmm, she seems sad". And now we all know why. It's NO ONE'S BUSINESS when you reveal things. It is up to you, and what you are comfortable with, and you, my friend, are one of the MOST honest you tubers out there, which is why I watch your content. Take care of yourself; you are wonderful!

    Bless you girl for letting the girls know it’s ok we ALL idk how to say it but many can relate and some of us have to hopefully not but may go through that. Yes girl I had to stop watching true crime type stuff because every time I mean every time I would call my daughter to discuss her mothering skills!! She’s just like I was but the world was different and this small tiny town has GROWN!!I’m glad you waited 2 yrs because everyone handles thing differently! U didn’t make your life look any type of goodie good! U represented like a young lady going and growing through life. Remember also and I’m a boss u don’t bring all ALL u garbage to work! Girl due u and people can butt out!!! U come on share enough and that enough is up to you! Lord my kids put everything on Facebook like really? I wish u the best!! Protect ur self mentally because u can give to much and be attacked called a fibber ect ect and feel hurt to the core

    I LOVE your honesty and openness. That's rare these days. I definitely agree with true crime. It will teach you that people can be EVIL beyond belief and it can make you jaded, but it does bring awareness. I feel that even if you put your relationship out there, people aren't entitled to know everything that goes on and people could be more respectful. I had just figured ya'll had broken up, but I'd never ask. I figure if she wants us to know, she'll let us know, but you don't owe that to anyone. I like these types of videos on this channel. Definitely subscribing to the podcast too.

    You’re such a gem! We’ve connected on instagram a few times but our stories are so very similar. I left my ex fiancé in the beginning of 2020 and had to navigate being in the gta without any close friends or family. Your story and your podcast with Jess have truly gotten me through some dark times and changed my perspective on so many different topics. (Not just about weirdo tinder guys who ghost you 😉) love to see you stepping into the healed version of yourself and sharing your story. ❤❤
