I am 64 and still sometimes feel like this. We all have our uncertain times. The trick I have found when I feel like this is to accept it and then go with the flow. Nowadays so much pressure is put on younger people to achieve that it is harder to just 'be' . You will figure it out I am sure. Xx
I don’t know what you are going through, but I will say that I am much more susceptible to a negative headspace after drinking. Important to remember it’s a depressant. I wouldn’t say it causes me to feel down, but it definitely exacerbates those feelings. Who knows there may be a correlation in your own mood swings!
Tara sometimes you don't know how much this helps. To know that we are not alone when depression and anxiety and overthinking makes us feel like we are.
Never ever allow anyone to tell you how you're supposed to feel I stand behind you I appreciate your sharing a lot of us are out here that struggle each and every day not by choice but with your knowledge and your sharing even to an old lady like me 75 years I've been here you do brighten my day thank you
Love that you put yourself out there to share your vulnerability with us. I’m 60 in Jan and yes, the up/down dark/light is still very much a part of the everyday … just a part of being human I guess. You, Tara , all of You reading this, WE are loved ❤
I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you put a flash warning, because I have epilepsy and you saved me from a seizure or really bad headache. Makes my heart so warm when creators are inclusive like that 🥰❤️
thanks for being vulnerable about not only your mental health this vlog, but also it was refreshing/relatable for you to just go out with Jill and Connor but eat food from home!! And your feelings are so valid
Tara, it’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to be out of whack and not feeling like yourself. What your doing is a lot. It’s okay to not feel 100% all the time. Take as many days for yourself. Prioritize yourself first! Always. Always. Always. ❤
LA vlogs are awesome, but TO vlogs just have that something special to them. I think you just seem so happy and content in Toronto and it's so lovely to see. Thank you for sharing your mental health struggles and being vulnerable. It's got to be so hard to put that out online, but it means so much that you do.
Tara, I am glad to see you being vulnerable and authentic! I think it is always scary to be real, but especially when you are vlogging your whole life publicly. It’s important to recognize that privilege doesn’t mean that everything is perfect, there are still plenty of emotions and thoughts that happen regardless of privilege. Just because you have things to be grateful for doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to have emotions and experiences! I’m a therapist and every day I see and talk to people who have varying levels of privilege and extremely different circumstances and yet, we all still experience sadness, pain, grief, anxiety, and struggle!! You are allowed to have those times, and it’s important to give those moments their space and attention. That’s life! I have watched you for a few years now, and while I’ve always enjoyed your content, it’s times like these that I relate to you the most and love watching. I love authenticity and people being genuine, and I so appreciate and respect when you show that side too! And I also love that you allow yourself space to be where you are, while also working actively to process and move through the tough times and the emotions, because you are right, that is where growth happens! And it makes me feel like I can relate to you in so many ways, and gives me more faith that allowing our emotions the space they need will help us grow and learn. Mental health is so critical and necessary to focus on, and I love seeing you give space and attention to ALL the moods and experiences! Thank you ❤
I personally love when you share the more vulnerable side of yourself! So many youtubers are just bubbly and energetic all the time and honestly, if I'm watching someone's life regularly, I don't want 100% bubbly and energetic. That's not realistic in the long haul - we all have our stuff to deal with and glossing over that all the time can make things SO MUCH WORSE! Sometimes, taking a moment, a day, a week (hell, a month, a year... whatever!), and talking about your struggles, can really help avoid bigger meltdowns and burnouts - for you and others! It normalizes taking care of our brains and souls, which we really should all be doing, but society has conditioned us to try and push through at all cost... Absolutely loving your personality and how you're handling life! (And yes, beach days to calm my nerves are my ultimate goal in life... the nearest beach is 5hours away by car and my 29yearold self doesn't have a drivers license... whoops^^)
I must admit, I've noticed that when you are in LA you seem quite hyper and I don't know if sometimes it seems a bit forced? whereas when you are back in Canada you seem calm and grounded, relaxed and just generally more authentic and happy!
Tara! I just wanted to let you know that It’s been almost 3 years since I have been watching your vlogs and I absolutely LOVE and Live for it. You never fail to make us smile. I constantly feel inspired and motivated to do things just by watching your videos. You bring so much light and joy into this world. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in for all of us! You deserve all the success and happiness in this world. Also you can always count on us no matter what. Take care and have a lovely day!! ❤️✨
I appreciate your vulnerability because I have bouts of depression and it just makes you feel like you aren’t alone in your feelings. People can’t judge what each of us go through. It’s not your life and everyone experiences life differently.
Thank you so so much Tara for being honest with us! It's never an easy thing to do, and you're not just doing it with your friends and family but to all of us too--that takes courage. I feel you on the out of wack thing, I'm totally there. Feeling amazing one second and like everything sucks the next lol so I so deeply appreciate you being so open in the midst of the struggle. Makes us feel less alone. Much love!!
You are abundantly appreciated! Dark days happen to everyone. Acknowledging them and reaching out to friends and loved ones to address them, and sharing with others of how you cope does help ALOT!!!
You know Tara, I’ve lost a lot of friends and I don’t have many anymore but you feel like a friend. I look forward to every vlog you post, it helps my mental so much, and I’m wishing you all the goodness.
Aww ya I feel ya. Alot of these youtubers feel more like friends! It is the best invention to connect with others! We're all part of this community so we're here for you too! ❤️ even tho we don't know eachother we're part of this tribe! 🤗
I go through this every fall honestly. I do appreciate you sharing this side with us and it's totally ok to feel this way at any time no matter who you are.
Honey, I'm 63 years old and even I don't have it all figured out!! We ALL...ALL OF US...no matter how good, bad or indifferent your life is, have off days! We just need to remember that even a social media person is just a normal, real person! I understand how you could feel hesitant to put yourself out there during these times, but when it comes down to it, we're here for you! 😘🥰🤗
Healing / mental health is not linear, there will be ups and downs and that’s ok! We need to allow ourselves to feel what we’re feeling and give ourselves grace & self compassion. Thank you for sharing this vlog I really needed to hear this today and remember you are not alone. I appreciate you 🤍
Thank you for being so honest. This time of year really starts to get to a lot of us. Just know that it’s okay to feel whatever you are feeling in that moment. Happy to see you attempting to turn your day around. It’s great that you are so self aware and know what might make you feel a bit better. Hang in there girly!
Oh Tara, you are not alone with having those blues days. It’s okay to express how you feel. I really appreciate your vlogs. I also appreciate you being honest.
I wanted to say, while I don't know you personally, I'm proud of you for taking the time to make your mental health a priority. Having privilege does not change that we get in a funk sometimes. I will alway support your need to do whatever it takes to help yourself mentally. Sending love your way!
Ugh❤ I was sitting here listening to you speak and trying to come up with words to say to express my thanks and gratitude to you and every single comment I can see has already captured that. You are so honest and transparent and completely help me compartmentalize and dissect my own thoughts and get my own self back into order and just find relief knowing other people feel the same things I do!! It’s so hard to get out of that headspace and you’re videos will always be my go to when I’m needing to feel normal and happy and come back down to earth. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. Please don’t let yourself ever feel invalidated, you’re sooo not alone and I love that we can recognize that
I honestly felt so much better when you talked about your mental health bc I kinda feel the same at the moment and felt like I wasn't alone. So thank you so much for being open about this, love yout Tara! x
Love you Tara, you don't understand how much you impact people's lives. There are so many challenges in life all of us go through and I know there is some negativity which makes it hard for you to share some things but hopefully the love from your supporters overpowers that. You're one of the only UA-camrs who is always yourself not being fake for views and that shows!
We love you tara! thank you for being vulnerable, there is so many days where I also feel the same way and its nothing to be ashamed of, we are all human no matter what stage of life we are in. All I know is that your videos help me tremendously and always remind me that its okay to not be okay sometimes, so thank you💕
I came here after watching your most recent vlog from vlogmas, trying to figure out what happened in LA. I just wanted to tell you that you are absolutely allowed to feel any type of way you feel. Don't compare yourselves to other in terms of privilege - depression and anxiety can hit us all regardless of status, circumstance or privilege. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. The pain is just as genuine. Embrace, own, and process those feelings without feeling guilty or ashamed. Hope you're feeling a bit more yourself nowadays!
Thank you for being transparent with us and sharing your mental health struggles! And know that its ok to not be ok all the time! Hopefully your mental health improves
I honestly really appreciate you being vulnerable about how you feel. I’m your age struggling with my mental health and would be lying that sometimes I don’t compare where I’m at in life with someone like you! It’s easy for me to think if I could get to where you are I wouldn’t struggling with my mental health like I do now. I appreciate you reminding us that the people who admire on the internet are people who struggling sometimes too regardless of what they have. ❤
Loved this long vlog!! No matter what success you have you are still a human being and are allowed to have bad mental health days, weeks etc. Being grateful for all you have doesn’t invalidate what is goin on with your mental health. Thank you for making me feel less alone and always putting a smile on my face with each vlog you post. ❤️
I understand girl. Life can be hard eventhough your life is good. I've been having those days with the seasons changing. Seasonal depression is a thing, but we have to fight through and give ourselves a break sometimes. Love you♡
This is so normal and I am glad you shared it. It does help me and so many others feel so seen. I can relate so hard to what you were saying. Just remember that everything is temporary, including those tough days. Things will turn around 💕
Thanks for being genuine and open with how you're feeling - you're 100% right, no matter what your situation is, we all have weird days and vibes for no reason that we have a hard time getting out of. I hope things start feeling better for you soon! :)
hi tara im so glad you decided to share about your mental health , i have had struggles with my mental health since i was 15yrs old so 31 years and its so refreshing to see someone that shares there life online be open and honest so thankyou so much tara sending lots of love and hugs and hopeing that you are feeling better love sarah from england xxxxxx
I appreciate your honesty. I have been struggling my whole life with depression. This year has especially been hard. My husband and I divorced after 22 years together almost 16 years married. He has our 2 girls (16 and 13) our family dog we had to put down, and my Momma died on Easter. I enjoy seeing your interactions with your family and your true gratitude for your life. I wish at 44 that I had myself together like you and know what you want. You are inspiring. Keep spreading your positivity and joy. ❤
im 20, and have been battling mental health especially the in the past few years, I really appreciate people opening up about bad moments/days. Sometimes its hard to remember that nobody feels 100% all day everyday and struggling with your own thoughts is more common that immediate meets the eye! I truly hope you find yourself in a happier mind set soon🥰
Tara, you're feelings are valid. i might not know what you're going through but i know you're a human. Being a human sucks sometimes, and just because there is so many things to be grateful for, doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel how you feel. Gratitude is an amazing tool, but feeling out your emotions how/when you need to feel them is an even better one. It teaches you about you.
Your words and feelings are valid. ❤ I started watching you when you were still living in your LA house. That crazy neighbor still upsets me. Fast forward a few months later and you are back in Toronto. I seriously think it was the best place for you to end up at. It’s home. It’s family. You’ve come full circle. Visiting LA is great for friends and work. I think you’ve come to realize that although it was a wonderful couple of years as a full time resident, Toronto called at just the right time in your life. Enjoy your different worlds.
Hi Tara! Hope you feel better! Don’t feel bad to share your bad days! We all go through them! But what you have to do is think about all the things that you have accomplished! Your family and friends all those good times and hopefully all those bad thoughts will go away! You are strong and a great person I believe in you! Take care! ❤
Such a wonderful vlog. I love how you always show us how you use self care and reflection to lift yourself out of the times of low moods and feeling unbalanced. I am working on figuring out what does that for me as well. your right most of the time its just the growing pains when we are realizing things or changing or learning ourselves. It’s grounding to watch you and this content.
I’m sorry you feel like you have to be alone in your thoughts. Whether they are good or bad thoughts. We accept the good and the bad in you. You are truly loved Tara, be kind to yourself, you work hard for the things you have. And just because you have the things you want doesn’t mean you always have everything you need. Material items don’t always fill the needs a person has. Im so thankful for your transparency. It helps me as a person that doesn’t always have everything they want, it brings me back to earth knowing money isn’t everything. ❤
hey tara!! i know i'm a little late to this video but i just wanted to say that i always appreciate when you talk about your mental health struggles and bad days, because it's honestly been a major help to me in my own journey... so please keep sharing because it means so much
Tara, I love your honesty. We all go thru ups and downs mentally, no matter what our situation in life is. I can totally relate to everything you said. Just because you go thru some tough emotions. That doesn't mean you aren't grateful for the wonderful things that you are blessed with. Great vlog!
It’s so ok to have ups and downs and I’m so happy we can be here to support you and I’d also like to say how much of an inspiration you are to me your little hot girl era or like where your reading and hanging w the girls and crushing your goals i love it and am so excited to start my own growing era that embodies a lot of yours so i love you and thank you
Mental health is something that people don’t always understand/validate these days. You don’t have to have a known trigger for how you feel.there’s not always an explanation. I think it’s important to show moments like that in your life so publicly. Tara, just feel sorry for the people with negative feedback. They are in denial.
You inspire me wether you are struggling as we all do and you should be proud of yourself my daughter can't even get out of bed most day. You have an amazing personality and I am all the way in Australia and you keep me realizing we have things to be thankful for love the blogs
I feel this so much right now. I feel like I’m in a funk, like I’m out of touch with myself and I’m not sure how to get back. I know I go through times like this but it’s hard sometimes to keep navigating them when you don’t know when you’re going to feel “normal” again. I appreciate you being real because I don’t have anything necessarily wrong either but yet here I am.
People misconstrue having things with emotions. You can have EVERYTHING and still feel like crap. You can have NOTHING and be the happiest person alive. I love rainy days. Some people get depressed on rainy days. It is what it is. Sometimes you just have to do something that makes you feel better. What makes you feel better differs person to person. You got this Tara Michelle! 💕
Tara please don’t feel invalidated for your feelings ever. Being vulnerable is part of being human. If you didn’t have feelings or off days or admit you have them I’d worry. It’s ok, to share them. If others get grumpy we’ll that’s their problem not yours. Thank you for sharing. It actually helps me feel better. We live in our van and I’ll admit right now I’m not on and that’s ok. Maybe I’ll never be ok again. Life only knows. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I had one of those "feeling shitty about feeling shitty" days last week. You're not alone! And like you said, the back and forth and up and down is just life.
Tara!! Sending you big hugs. I’m born and raised in LA and I know that without my family here, it would feel so weird and lonely. It’s beautiful but so disjointed. It’s how the city is designed (i.e. the hour Uber ride from Venice to Hollywood). As we grow older, the things that fulfill us change. I enjoy your Toronto content so much bc not only is it cozy, you energy is radiant! Hope things start to feel better soon ❤
I normally don’t comment but something came to mind as you were being vulnerable and opening up about having bad days - there are always going to be people that do invalidate your feelings because of the life you live, but as you said, you are human and every human has bad days. I think your viewers can even use your bad days as a reminder that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I would loooove to share some of your experiences and live a life like yours on most days, but it’s important to remember that just because you do seem to live a much more luxurious life than a lot of others, it doesn’t mean that every day is a good day. So I just want to say thank you for opening up and not making it seem like success and money and popularity/fame are the end all be all. Every single person has bad days, literally no matter what.
Honestly thank you for sharing, I am also feeling quite out of whack lately so I appreciate knowing I am not alone, screw the people who invalidate feelings. Also horror nights looked so fun!
Hey Tara I’ve been feeling the same way in my life too. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been on a different planet is the best way to describe it. I think it’s also the seasons changing too and the time change. There’s just a lot happening. I am so sorry you going through this. I love you and everything will be okay
Hey Tara, I just desire for you to know that you inspire me so much. One thing I admire about you is how real you are. We get to see you living this beautiful life but we also get to so some of the things that come with it and I admire that. As you said you are human and you get to feel and experience the same as we all do. You were made to create sand you have created this amazing life and the thing that keeps it amazing is that it’s all based in truth. Continue to be and show your truest self!
I’m soo happy you share this with us!! I’m a nursing student and I comeback every day saying that I don’t like the field that I choose and I wish I will be able to take on me and change program but people/society are sooo soo soo intense saying that we are suppose to choose une thing and decide what you wanna do for the rest of your life urgh!! Anyway it helps so much that you share your up and down! Continue and I love everything you doo! Being there since 6 years ago and still watch every vlog❤
Love you Tara ! ❤ Thans for sharing no matter if you are rich or poor we all are humans and are dealing whit our own stuff. Do not apologise for struggling we all do. Being open about it is the right thing to do. You got this girl ❤
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your struggles. We are all going trough it and sometimes it just helps to see, that it is okay to feel like that too!!
Thank you for sharing your feelings and emotions. I'm not sure what's in the air, but I've been feeling very foggy lately and have been unable to shake it. Grateful for this safe space, I appreciate you Tara💛
Tara, I can honestly see your inner beauty as much as your physical beauty and both to me are amazing! Sometimes we all hit a bump in the road, it reminds us that we all are moving forward no matter how big or small that bump is , everything will will work out in time. I think this was a great video!
I had a really nasty month (Oct) and I just caught rona but I stayed till the end of the video and yeah thank you for opening up and I love your vlogs, it's def just me getting comfy in my chair or bed for my bad days and watching your videos, they always cheer me up or comfort me 😊
Everyone has bad days and need to reset. You have every right to feel how you feel. Whether someone else is having a harder time or not does not invalidate your experiences. It is not a competition of who deserves or needs a mental health day more. We are all human and have human emotions. Love you! ❤
Omg!! I’ve been watching your vlogs since FIDM days, so it’s been so many years now, and it’s wild bc it feels like we’ve literally watched Remi grow up with you!!
I have never commented before, but this video really helped. I’ve been completely out of whack this month as well and feeling lost on how to get it all back together. So thanks for sharing and helping some of us not feel so alone! ❤ been watching for years and love your videos!
Thank you for the reminder to always be kind and that no matter what life we all think someone lives that it’s okay to have a bad day/days and sometimes for no specific reason at all. We all are trying to get through life as happy as possible, but sometimes we just have a rough time. Hope you are feeling better and I’m sending lots of love your way❤️😊
Omg. That intro and the scary bathtub or whatever it was. Even I let out a scream. Wasn’t ready for the lightning. Also, loving the hair along with you!
Thanks for being real and for sharing the hard times. It does let us know that we're not alone. Everyone has those dark days, doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. I'm so happy you gave yourself that time to spend on the beach. Like someone said below, it's okay to not be okay.
Never apologize for needing a moment to process your life. Some do not understand because they do not have the emotional intelligence to do so. Thank you for sharing the times you need to do so, we do not feel so alone!
I totally understand. Some days I don’t know what to do with myself and I get in a funk. It’s nice to know that this is also a safe space for me and others ☺️
tara, thank you for such a long vlog, keeping me entertained at work on a slow day hahaha, and thanks for being vulnerable! Safe travels back to the motherland!
Im so glad that you have the courage to be vulnerable… I’ve these days too. My life is amazing now and I feel happy, but sometimes I get in my head and have all the thoughts…. so its nice to see that im not alone 😢
This vlog exemplifies how so many of my weeks go. Truly life and emotions are so up and down and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one going through that 😊
thanks for being a safe space for me to vent/be honest about where my head is at right now 🥺❤
Love the vulnerability you share, I am nearing 50 and still have a hard time sharing sometimes...:) ❤
I am 64 and still sometimes feel like this. We all have our uncertain times. The trick I have found when I feel like this is to accept it and then go with the flow. Nowadays so much pressure is put on younger people to achieve that it is harder to just 'be' . You will figure it out I am sure. Xx
I don’t know what you are going through, but I will say that I am much more susceptible to a negative headspace after drinking. Important to remember it’s a depressant. I wouldn’t say it causes me to feel down, but it definitely exacerbates those feelings. Who knows there may be a correlation in your own mood swings!
I hope you are feeling better🫶🏽 this too shall pass!
Thank you for sharing and for being a safe space for all of us to watch and express ourselves to you. ❤️
Tara sometimes you don't know how much this helps. To know that we are not alone when depression and anxiety and overthinking makes us feel like we are.
🥺❤

So well said ❤
Love that you put yourself out there to share your vulnerability with us. I’m 60 in Jan and yes, the up/down dark/light is still very much a part of the everyday … just a part of being human I guess. You, Tara , all of You reading this, WE are loved ❤

Nothings better than when you treat us with longer vlogs ❤ thanks for always being transparent with your feelings. We love you!
Tara, always remember, is ok not to be ok! ❤
LA vlogs are awesome, but TO vlogs just have that something special to them. I think you just seem so happy and content in Toronto and it's so lovely to see. Thank you for sharing your mental health struggles and being vulnerable. It's got to be so hard to put that out online, but it means so much that you do.

Absolutely loving your personality and how you're handling life!
(And yes, beach days to calm my nerves are my ultimate goal in life... the nearest beach is 5hours away by car and my 29yearold self doesn't have a drivers license... whoops^^)
thank you for validating me 🥺❤
I must admit, I've noticed that when you are in LA you seem quite hyper and I don't know if sometimes it seems a bit forced? whereas when you are back in Canada you seem calm and grounded, relaxed and just generally more authentic and happy!
I was going to comment this. I 100 % agree. I don't watch any of the LA vlogs ( except this one) because of it.
@@leannemcmurray9211 I think the cozy, homey Canada vibes feel more relatable, which is why I tend to click more on those videos, too!
Tara! I just wanted to let you know that It’s been almost 3 years since I have been watching your vlogs and I absolutely LOVE and Live for it. You never fail to make us smile. I constantly feel inspired and motivated to do things just by watching your videos. You bring so much light and joy into this world. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in for all of us! You deserve all the success and happiness in this world. Also you can always count on us no matter what. Take care and have a lovely day!! ❤️✨
Wow I love this ❤
I appreciate your vulnerability because I have bouts of depression and it just makes you feel like you aren’t alone in your feelings. People can’t judge what each of us go through. It’s not your life and everyone experiences life differently.
Thank you so so much Tara for being honest with us! It's never an easy thing to do, and you're not just doing it with your friends and family but to all of us too--that takes courage. I feel you on the out of wack thing, I'm totally there. Feeling amazing one second and like everything sucks the next lol so I so deeply appreciate you being so open in the midst of the struggle.

38min vlog, this makes my day 10000% better 💓
Healing / mental health is not linear, there will be ups and downs and that’s ok! We need to allow ourselves to feel what we’re feeling and give ourselves grace & self compassion.
Thank you for sharing this vlog I really needed to hear this today and remember you are not alone. I appreciate you 🤍
Thank you for being so honest. This time of year really starts to get to a lot of us. Just know that it’s okay to feel whatever you are feeling in that moment. Happy to see you attempting to turn your day around. It’s great that you are so self aware and know what might make you feel a bit better. Hang in there girly!
Oh Tara, you are not alone with having those blues days. It’s okay to express how you feel. I really appreciate your vlogs. I also appreciate you being honest.
I wanted to say, while I don't know you personally, I'm proud of you for taking the time to make your mental health a priority. Having privilege does not change that we get in a funk sometimes. I will alway support your need to do whatever it takes to help yourself mentally. Sending love your way!
really appreciate this, thank you ❤
Ugh❤ I was sitting here listening to you speak and trying to come up with words to say to express my thanks and gratitude to you and every single comment I can see has already captured that. You are so honest and transparent and completely help me compartmentalize and dissect my own thoughts and get my own self back into order and just find relief knowing other people feel the same things I do!! It’s so hard to get out of that headspace and you’re videos will always be my go to when I’m needing to feel normal and happy and come back down to earth. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. Please don’t let yourself ever feel invalidated, you’re sooo not alone and I love that we can recognize that
🥺🥺🥺 your comment means so much to me, thank you ❤
I honestly felt so much better when you talked about your mental health bc I kinda feel the same at the moment and felt like I wasn't alone. So thank you so much for being open about this, love yout Tara! x
Love you Tara, you don't understand how much you impact people's lives. There are so many challenges in life all of us go through and I know there is some negativity which makes it hard for you to share some things but hopefully the love from your supporters overpowers that. You're one of the only UA-camrs who is always yourself not being fake for views and that shows!
DONT FEEL BAD FOR YOUR feelings. people who tear you down don't deserve the power. you got this girl its hard out here.
Love the consistency of your vlogs, it gives me something to look forward to every Monday, I can’t thank you enough 💕 Also I love the hair 😍😍
We love you tara! thank you for being vulnerable, there is so many days where I also feel the same way and its nothing to be ashamed of, we are all human no matter what stage of life we are in. All I know is that your videos help me tremendously and always remind me that its okay to not be okay sometimes, so thank you💕
I came here after watching your most recent vlog from vlogmas, trying to figure out what happened in LA. I just wanted to tell you that you are absolutely allowed to feel any type of way you feel. Don't compare yourselves to other in terms of privilege - depression and anxiety can hit us all regardless of status, circumstance or privilege. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. The pain is just as genuine. Embrace, own, and process those feelings without feeling guilty or ashamed. Hope you're feeling a bit more yourself nowadays!
Tara you are very loved 💫💫 being raw and vulnerable is essential at times . I’m here to support you ❤ much love and respect 😘
Thank you for being transparent with us and sharing your mental health struggles! And know that its ok to not be ok all the time! Hopefully your mental health improves
Tara thank you for being so open with us, we are all going through things and you help us so much, your vlogs are my favorite time of the day
I honestly really appreciate you being vulnerable about how you feel. I’m your age struggling with my mental health and would be lying that sometimes I don’t compare where I’m at in life with someone like you! It’s easy for me to think if I could get to where you are I wouldn’t struggling with my mental health like I do now. I appreciate you reminding us that the people who admire on the internet are people who struggling sometimes too regardless of what they have. ❤
Loved this long vlog!! No matter what success you have you are still a human being and are allowed to have bad mental health days, weeks etc. Being grateful for all you have doesn’t invalidate what is goin on with your mental health. Thank you for making me feel less alone and always putting a smile on my face with each vlog you post. ❤️
love you tara youre doing amazing, i love watching your vlogs to make me feel better, they are my comfort vlogs
I understand girl. Life can be hard eventhough your life is good. I've been having those days with the seasons changing. Seasonal depression is a thing, but we have to fight through and give ourselves a break sometimes. Love you♡
This video made me feel so much better. I appreciate you!
wait tara the hair is so cute! It looks really good!!
This is so normal and I am glad you shared it. It does help me and so many others feel so seen. I can relate so hard to what you were saying. Just remember that everything is temporary, including those tough days. Things will turn around 💕
Thanks for being genuine and open with how you're feeling - you're 100% right, no matter what your situation is, we all have weird days and vibes for no reason that we have a hard time getting out of. I hope things start feeling better for you soon! :)
hi tara im so glad you decided to share about your mental health , i have had struggles with my mental health since i was 15yrs old so 31 years and its so refreshing to see someone that shares there life online be open and honest so thankyou so much tara sending lots of love and hugs and hopeing that you are feeling better love sarah from england xxxxxx
I appreciate your honesty. I have been struggling my whole life with depression. This year has especially been hard. My husband and I divorced after 22 years together almost 16 years married. He has our 2 girls (16 and 13) our family dog we had to put down, and my Momma died on Easter. I enjoy seeing your interactions with your family and your true gratitude for your life. I wish at 44 that I had myself together like you and know what you want. You are inspiring. Keep spreading your positivity and joy. ❤
im 20, and have been battling mental health especially the in the past few years, I really appreciate people opening up about bad moments/days. Sometimes its hard to remember that nobody feels 100% all day everyday and struggling with your own thoughts is more common that immediate meets the eye!
I truly hope you find yourself in a happier mind set soon🥰
Tara, you're feelings are valid. i might not know what you're going through but i know you're a human. Being a human sucks sometimes, and just because there is so many things to be grateful for, doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel how you feel. Gratitude is an amazing tool, but feeling out your emotions how/when you need to feel them is an even better one. It teaches you about you.
Your words and feelings are valid. ❤ I started watching you when you were still living in your LA house. That crazy neighbor still upsets me. Fast forward a few months later and you are back in Toronto. I seriously think it was the best place for you to end up at. It’s home. It’s family. You’ve come full circle. Visiting LA is great for friends and work. I think you’ve come to realize that although it was a wonderful couple of years as a full time resident, Toronto called at just the right time in your life. Enjoy your different worlds.
Love how authentic and relatable you are. You are such a joy and I love how light your hair is!
Hi Tara! Hope you feel better! Don’t feel bad to share your bad days! We all go through them! But what you have to do is think about all the things that you have accomplished! Your family and friends all those good times and hopefully all those bad thoughts will go away! You are strong and a great person I believe in you! Take care! ❤
I’ve been feeling like that lately. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs, I appreciate you.
Such a wonderful vlog. I love how you always show us how you use self care and reflection to lift yourself out of the times of low moods and feeling unbalanced. I am working on figuring out what does that for me as well. your right most of the time its just the growing pains when we are realizing things or changing or learning ourselves. It’s grounding to watch you and this content.
I've felt so awkward for the last couple of weeks and finally this Monday I've started to feel a lil better! You're not the only one! Sending love 💕
I’m sorry you feel like you have to be alone in your thoughts. Whether they are good or bad thoughts. We accept the good and the bad in you. You are truly loved Tara, be kind to yourself, you work hard for the things you have. And just because you have the things you want doesn’t mean you always have everything you need. Material items don’t always fill the needs a person has. Im so thankful for your transparency. It helps me as a person that doesn’t always have everything they want, it brings me back to earth knowing money isn’t everything. ❤
hey tara!! i know i'm a little late to this video but i just wanted to say that i always appreciate when you talk about your mental health struggles and bad days, because it's honestly been a major help to me in my own journey... so please keep sharing because it means so much
Tara, I love your honesty. We all go thru ups and downs mentally, no matter what our situation in life is. I can totally relate to everything you said. Just because you go thru some tough emotions. That doesn't mean you aren't grateful for the wonderful things that you are blessed with. Great vlog!
It’s so ok to have ups and downs and I’m so happy we can be here to support you and I’d also like to say how much of an inspiration you are to me your little hot girl era or like where your reading and hanging w the girls and crushing your goals i love it and am so excited to start my own growing era that embodies a lot of yours so i love you and thank you
Mental health is something that people don’t always understand/validate these days. You don’t have to have a known trigger for how you feel.there’s not always an explanation. I think it’s important to show moments like that in your life so publicly. Tara, just feel sorry for the people with negative feedback. They are in denial.
You inspire me wether you are struggling as we all do and you should be proud of yourself my daughter can't even get out of bed most day. You have an amazing personality and I am all the way in Australia and you keep me realizing we have things to be thankful for love the blogs
I feel this so much right now. I feel like I’m in a funk, like I’m out of touch with myself and I’m not sure how to get back. I know I go through times like this but it’s hard sometimes to keep navigating them when you don’t know when you’re going to feel “normal” again. I appreciate you being real because I don’t have anything necessarily wrong either but yet here I am.
People misconstrue having things with emotions. You can have EVERYTHING and still feel like crap. You can have NOTHING and be the happiest person alive. I love rainy days. Some people get depressed on rainy days. It is what it is. Sometimes you just have to do something that makes you feel better. What makes you feel better differs person to person. You got this Tara Michelle! 💕
Tara please don’t feel invalidated for your feelings ever. Being vulnerable is part of being human. If you didn’t have feelings or off days or admit you have them I’d worry. It’s ok, to share them. If others get grumpy we’ll that’s their problem not yours. Thank you for sharing. It actually helps me feel better. We live in our van and I’ll admit right now I’m not on and that’s ok. Maybe I’ll never be ok again. Life only knows. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I had one of those "feeling shitty about feeling shitty" days last week. You're not alone! And like you said, the back and forth and up and down is just life.
Tara!! Sending you big hugs. I’m born and raised in LA and I know that without my family here, it would feel so weird and lonely. It’s beautiful but so disjointed. It’s how the city is designed (i.e. the hour Uber ride from Venice to Hollywood). As we grow older, the things that fulfill us change. I enjoy your Toronto content so much bc not only is it cozy, you energy is radiant! Hope things start to feel better soon ❤
I normally don’t comment but something came to mind as you were being vulnerable and opening up about having bad days - there are always going to be people that do invalidate your feelings because of the life you live, but as you said, you are human and every human has bad days. I think your viewers can even use your bad days as a reminder that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I would loooove to share some of your experiences and live a life like yours on most days, but it’s important to remember that just because you do seem to live a much more luxurious life than a lot of others, it doesn’t mean that every day is a good day. So I just want to say thank you for opening up and not making it seem like success and money and popularity/fame are the end all be all. Every single person has bad days, literally no matter what.
Honestly thank you for sharing, I am also feeling quite out of whack lately so I appreciate knowing I am not alone, screw the people who invalidate feelings. Also horror nights looked so fun!
Hey Tara I’ve been feeling the same way in my life too. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been on a different planet is the best way to describe it. I think it’s also the seasons changing too and the time change. There’s just a lot happening. I am so sorry you going through this. I love you and everything will be okay
Hey Tara, I just desire for you to know that you inspire me so much. One thing I admire about you is how real you are. We get to see you living this beautiful life but we also get to so some of the things that come with it and I admire that. As you said you are human and you get to feel and experience the same as we all do. You were made to create sand you have created this amazing life and the thing that keeps it amazing is that it’s all based in truth. Continue to be and show your truest self!
I’m soo happy you share this with us!! I’m a nursing student and I comeback every day saying that I don’t like the field that I choose and I wish I will be able to take on me and change program but people/society are sooo soo soo intense saying that we are suppose to choose une thing and decide what you wanna do for the rest of your life urgh!! Anyway it helps so much that you share your up and down! Continue and I love everything you doo! Being there since 6 years ago and still watch every vlog❤
Haven’t watched in quite a while and glad I popped in on this one! Thanks for being so open with such vulnerable emotions🤍
Love you Tara ! ❤ Thans for sharing no matter if you are rich or poor we all are humans and are dealing whit our own stuff. Do not apologise for struggling we all do. Being open about it is the right thing to do. You got this girl ❤
Tara, I love your honesty about all your ups and downs! We all have these kinda days and it‘s so important to show these moments too! ❤
We LOVE Tara Tuesdays but LOVE LOVE extra long Tara Tuesday vlogs! 🤍 Thanks Tara!
i needed this today! thanks for sharing/opening up :)
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your struggles. We are all going trough it and sometimes it just helps to see, that it is okay to feel like that too!!
Loooooovvvvvvveeeeee this long vlog!! I wish every vlog was this long
Thank you for sharing your feelings and emotions. I'm not sure what's in the air, but I've been feeling very foggy lately and have been unable to shake it. Grateful for this safe space, I appreciate you Tara💛
I appreciate YOU for sharing with me ❤ thank you for being here and validating what I'm going through!
Tara, I can honestly see your inner beauty as much as your physical beauty and both to me are amazing! Sometimes we all hit a bump in the road, it reminds us that we all are moving forward no matter how big or small that bump is , everything will will work out in time. I think this was a great video!
I had a really nasty month (Oct) and I just caught rona but I stayed till the end of the video and yeah thank you for opening up and I love your vlogs, it's def just me getting comfy in my chair or bed for my bad days and watching your videos, they always cheer me up or comfort me 😊
Everyone has bad days and need to reset. You have every right to feel how you feel. Whether someone else is having a harder time or not does not invalidate your experiences. It is not a competition of who deserves or needs a mental health day more. We are all human and have human emotions. Love you! ❤
Honestly when I feel down your videos helps me feel better ♡
Your honesty is refreshing..
Can totally relate to the ‘ups & downs ‘ of life ..
Stay strong -
Thankyou for your vlogs , they always make me ‘ 😊.
Omg!! I’ve been watching your vlogs since FIDM days, so it’s been so many years now, and it’s wild bc it feels like we’ve literally watched Remi grow up with you!!
I have never commented before, but this video really helped. I’ve been completely out of whack this month as well and feeling lost on how to get it all back together. So thanks for sharing and helping some of us not feel so alone! ❤ been watching for years and love your videos!
it's the weird out of whack vlogs that i like! you're so personable and hope life is treating you well!!
Tara I love your hair like this!!! I love that it’s still dark and natural towards the top too and the money piece 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you for the reminder to always be kind and that no matter what life we all think someone lives that it’s okay to have a bad day/days and sometimes for no specific reason at all. We all are trying to get through life as happy as possible, but sometimes we just have a rough time. Hope you are feeling better and I’m sending lots of love your way❤️😊
Thanks for keeping us in the loop Tara! Much respect💕
You rock Tara don’t let anyone tell you any different your one in a million know that!!!!!!!!!
Omg. That intro and the scary bathtub or whatever it was. Even I let out a scream. Wasn’t ready for the lightning. Also, loving the hair along with you!
Thanks for being real and for sharing the hard times. It does let us know that we're not alone. Everyone has those dark days, doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. I'm so happy you gave yourself that time to spend on the beach. Like someone said below, it's okay to not be okay.
Never apologize for needing a moment to process your life. Some do not understand because they do not have the emotional intelligence to do so. Thank you for sharing the times you need to do so, we do not feel so alone!
Thanks for the vlogs, you are truly amazing Tara ❤
GIRLLL! This is my favorite hair on you, it looks so freaking good
thank you!!! ah!
I always look forward to your vlogs! Happy November 1st!
I totally understand. Some days I don’t know what to do with myself and I get in a funk. It’s nice to know that this is also a safe space for me and others ☺️
tara, thank you for such a long vlog, keeping me entertained at work on a slow day hahaha, and thanks for being vulnerable! Safe travels back to the motherland!
Im so glad that you have the courage to be vulnerable… I’ve these days too. My life is amazing now and I feel happy, but sometimes I get in my head and have all the thoughts…. so its nice to see that im not alone 😢
This vlog exemplifies how so many of my weeks go. Truly life and emotions are so up and down and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one going through that 😊
