  • I'm SAD & Nothing makes me Happy, Not Even Beach Camping in my Van...
    Life is not as good as it might seems... I am going through a lot and not even the best campsite on the beach makes me happy anymore. I am grateful for all the things that I can experience like riding my new @kbobikes , all the beautiful flowers and birds, spending time with friends by the campfire, watching movies outside with my projector but I am always missing something important. I don't really know how long I will feel like this but the truth is that behind my smile there is a lot of pain...

    Life is not what you think, just because you see someone smiling doesn't mean that they are happy and doing okay. After getting back online, I am struggling because people seem to assume that I am doing great just because they watched a 10 minute video of me smiling for some seconds. People be thinking that after losing the two most important men of my life and having my life completely destroyed I just have the capacity of being a super human, entertaining you for free every week. Some people is assuming that I should travel, and keep being my old self before all the misfortune events happened to me, but how are you guys even expecting such thing from me if you truly followed my story? The internet is not real life and I needed to bring a reality check here on UA-cam. It's great to live in a van sometimes, it's great to be an immigrant sometimes, it's great to be alone sometimes, it's great to post videos on UA-cam but the truth guys is that at the same time things are also awful and painful. Be patience and kind with people on the internet, truly listen to them and stop pushing boundaries. Remember that these are free videos for you to get entertained and a way to connect with others, youtubers are real people just like you, and it's time that someone spoke about this... I couldn't keep this inside of me for any longer. I share more details about everything that's happening and happened in my life on my Patreon www.patreon.com/LidiaRico I shared past events that for a lot of people that followed this channel since the beginning are shocking to hear and I want to keep them private, so if you subscribe to my Patreon please respect the privacy of that platform and be kind. Thanks for being here reading this ❤🙏

      Important that you just keep around people and give things time Time is the only healer. It really took my daughter several years before she can just think about her boyfriend that killed himself. Now she can at least talk about it as a thing of the past. Being around people helps pass that time and you experience other great things that outweigh the tragedy

      Everyone has happy and sad moments, whether you are rich or poor, have a family or are single. It's unrealistic to say that most people aren't happy because it's everyone that's just life... Some people show it and some don't and both are right to live how they want and to show what they want to. It's just life.

    I can so relate to you, when you lose the love of your life, the one that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with to grow old with, then you wake up one day and that reason is gone forever. My husband died at the age of 47. Now I'm an old woman, of 74. He's been gone 27 years, and I still watch the sunsets that we were supposed to watch together. My heart breaks for you, you are beautiful and Young, and I pray one day you will find happiness again. It's okay to cry they say it cleanses the soul, stay safe pretty girl and smile when you can and cry when you need to. It will be okay, ❤️

    Lidia, as an outsider watching your videos, it doesn't take a PHD in psychology to know that Phillip loved you with all his heart and soul. YOU are the reason he was around as long as he was. I don't know if it will help but, think of it this way... Phillip isn't missing a beautiful sunset with you, he IS the sunset FOR you. You and Phillip are an example for ALL of us to reach out to those we care about. Let them know how much they mean to you. Only GOD knows what will happen on life's journey.
    As always, BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee!

      Bobs, Unfortunately loved one, Men who take their own life do not receive grief or have any explanation /acceptance from individuals (other mankind) who have to constantly put on their pants just like him & get out in this world to fight day to day, making something of ourselves. Make sure you get into your bible because God knows yah soul and taking your own life is not the fruitfulness he has for us.

    My first GF died in a car crash right after we broke up when I was 23 it took me years to get over it and find my way. God has a plan for all of us and even though it is not clear at the time remember things do get better. I always think about this parable when it comes to the struggle, when you are standing at the bottom of the mountain looking up the view of life is very small and you can only see your immediate surroundings, but when you get to the top looking down on where you once where it will look small and distant far far away, keep climbing your mountain it is hard it is tuff it is painful but the view from the top will be worth it. May you be blessed with abundance and prosperity.

    Shit.... I met you and Philip at that Expo West thing in Flagstaff a couple years ago - Phil and I spoke on the phone a bit after that, talking about the van build stuff and were planning for me to roll down to see you guys. Then the break-up happened, which was obviously hard on the both of you, so I pulled back figuring he wasn't in the right head space - I reached out but didn't hear back, then ran into you in Venice but you weren't in a great mood (understandable as I just walked up to you and you likely didn't remember me) - I did not know Phil left the planet, such a bummer.... I remember the story of how you guys met and how he went to Spain to woo you, that was such a romantic story, This entire thing is so tragic - I'm hoping the best for you....

I mean, you can find happiness in your life for sure but it's like a broken bone that never fully repaired. Only time and acceptation can bring your some reconfort. Even now, sometimes, sadness and tears comes like a river and i can't control it, you have to accept it and walk on.
    I can only imagine what you are going through and I wish you the best in your life 🙏

    Hola Lidia. I'm not use to comment, but in this case, I want to say thank you for sharing the sad moments too. Because, many people, mostly teenagers think that "all that happiness and perfect life's" that they see in social medias is the reality, and then they say "my life sucks". And it is important to understand that life is that, good and bad moments.
    I hope you can feel better soon, take your time, don't hide the pain, keep enjoying sunsets, stay strong!.
    And safe travels.
    Thx! Fer.

Our Heavenly Fathers has given him all power to save us. Hey i been there, i live in my truck too, and times are rough, but im so Happy and healing with more smiles everyday. Like i told you i had so much death , family and friends from about 2007 to 2020. Family Friends co-workers, I was tired of going to funerals. Lost my oldest Sister to cancer, friends suicide, both parents in 2020. I was beat....... yhen layed off in 2020, & moved to Eastern idaho. But I been saved since 1981 when my Mom introduced me to salvation. Now i walk with Jesus.... good or bad, hes always here, in me. Be encouraged, read the Gospel of John when you are sad..... Healing does come, slowly. Be Blessed Spanish Sister.💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏tears are our healing, i know well.

    I understand how you feel. I was forced to stop even greeting the person I thought was my soulmate at the age of about 17, simply bc he was from another place, so they assumed we would not be compatible. I even wrote a book about it, a fantasy based on reality. You would not believe what led up to this sudden shock. The history stydying his language for years and hours even before i met him made it all the more painful. All i can say is, enjoy your glorious freedom and keep spreading light! It's your purpose, and you're doing great at it!

    Today I realized, that I am sad because of the moments where my 4 years old boy would just hide under the table in the kitchen when he was 2 . And I was so stressed out , working everyday for my own bussines. Sometimes I would get angry and would tell him the kitchen is not a playing place. Although he was just in his own world. I never go down under the table to see him and ask him what he is playing. Now today 2 years later. I start to let go my bussines, and realize those moments, where I wasn’t there, because I was struggling to survive. Although I really love him. I thought like, this moment will never appear like this. Now I realized what if every moment has its own treasure we don’t see, because we want and are always somewhere else with our mind. I have Always known the road is the target not the end of an adventure, but still everyday my mind telling me, what we can do and where we can get. But I will go over it and will let my mind go.
