Hello and welcome to my quarantine zone. In this chill vlog I show you a day in my life in quarantine alone in New York City and chat about all the emotions / anxieties / phases I’ve been having the past couple months. I try to stay busy and somewhat productive by painting, decorating my apartment, baking, doing laundry, and playing way too much Animal Crossing.

Ashley’s a single girl living in an apartment by herself with no pets in nyc, with her famiy being miles and miles away. She copes with it well, and that’s very inspiring.
captainmello I did it for like 2 weeks in NYC before having to move back to CA and woof it nearly broke me. Idk how she’s done it this long 😳
Ashley must have a LOT of battery powered vibrating toys!
She’s nOT SINGLE lol look at her fridge
Lilly ? She made a vid about being single late feb.
captainmello LOOK AT THE FRIDGE 15:57 👀 plus she said someone she likes recently visited her in NYC from LA
Why does that fact that this girl on the internet talking to me from her shower feels so normal
RIGHT?! She makes it just feel okay in a way haha. If I did this I would be very fearful of a nipple "malfunction" with the curtain though...
Isabelle Natalya and i dont hate it
So true :-D, it's magic %).
Nam Phương. Oh my god yeah no it’s the coolest !
Lauren Liz hahah cutttt
am I the only one who comes back to rewatch Ashley's old videos just because they motivate me and I miss seeing her on youtube
what I hv been doing for the last 3 hours
You are not alone friend. ❤️❤️
same!
Bruhh
i will literally have phases where i’m obsessed with ashley’s videos and cannot stop watching them
I feel like I’m on the safe side of UA-cam where we’re all just friends
Aww same ❤️
Friends on UA-cam Unite!
same omg
Ashley bringing everyone together, when we're all so far apart ☺
Sameeeee
I don’t think Ashley realizes how many people she just helped by sharing her experience. Thankyou :)
Kacy Deyoe ikr omg
For real! I see myself in her so much and she inspired me and gave me a sense of hope. I struggle with depression and quarantine hasn’t been helping with that either.. but finding out about her channel and her videos made me feel like I can do it, becoming a freelance photographer and videographer. She really does help people 💕
yes
Facts!
I was thinking the exact same thing. She put into words what a lot of us have been feeling during this whole process. I really appreciate this realistic a authentic content. Lots of love and support for y'all from Puerto Rico!
Ashley should start a podcast. Like holy shit, she’s so good at like simple conversation and it would be really interesting to see all of her opinions on everyday things and stuff like that.
i third that
i’d love that sm🥺
The thing I didn’t know I needed
Leah Lovell agree, love the way she talk
Waiting for this to happen!
Ashley, your job is not pointless. I actually had a pretty rough evening and I came back to rewatch this video. And it made me feel better.
omg literally me rn haha this video made me feel so much better
literally ive rewatched this so many times and it just makes me feel so happy and calm 🪴
I thought I was d only one re-watching this whenever I have a down days during fckn pandemic. Hope yall doing fine now like I do!
I love this comment. Saw it before even hitting play. Brought a tear to my eye.
Never emotional like this....wtf?!
Same rn
i don’t think ashley knows how many of our lives she has touched and how many of our worlds have been transformed by her
Fr💛
literally i’ve adopted her as my older sister who gives me life advice
EXACTLY
This feels like we’re in a sleepover but it’s the next day
kian sison omg the accuracy of this
Exactly what i was thinking 😂
how did you come up with this and why is it accurate-
omfg relate
kittercontrolbblove.link/Uu_RrSb43iwh
That one part where Ashley is in the shower and we’re her friend just keeping her company in the bathroom.. reminds me of my childhood friendships.
Nicole Quintero yes! Also it reminded me of summer camps
Nicole Quintero hahaha yes such good times 😭
You’re right! I really miss that
throwback to when ashley’s sink wasn’t makeup storage
God I miss her
pov: its 2022, the pandemic is still ongoing, and you miss ashley's videos so you keep going back to her old videos to rewatch them cus they bring you comfort
yes, i still keep watching her vlog while wondering she comeback to youtube :( i miss her like soooo much
Same this video actually made me cry, but in a good way, I fell like she captures the felling of the pandemic perfectly. And seing her being so vunerable, and just herself in her videos makes me so happy, and I really admire her bravery. She is just inconic💕
@@estherlise It's strange watching this video, filmed right when the pandemic started. Two years into the pandemic and there has been so much lost. It makes me sad thinking of what the world was like before all of this started.
yes that’s me
Me rn
ashley literally just chillin in the shower having a whole conversation with us about a centipede🥺 love the energy
edit: love you angels these are hard times so stay strong
nuh Lee nuh ikrrrr
wholesome content 🥺
YEAAH I feel like her's bestiee
nuh Lee nuh yes
my mom died almost three years ago and one of her fav things was her lil rainbow crystal she would hang our sunniest window. every time she could, she would stand there twirling it and looking at all the rainbows it cast into our house. we lost her crystal when we moved out of our house, but this vid reminded me of those little rainbows she loved so much, and i already ordered two for myself and my siblings. thank you for this special little reminder
Rest In Peace, I hope that you try to maintain your happiness even with the circumstances 💗 take care of yourself
I wish she's resting in peace. ☘️☘️ this comment was so sweet, ur nice☘️
Hope you are feeling fine
May your mother rest in peace💗
@@idkaboutyoutubenames9849 what's her mix?
This is like my comfort video. Everytime i feel messed up i come back to this
literally what I'm doing rn
me too! literally my favorite video of hers because its so raw and real (and i've seen every one of her videos so that's saying a lot)
same!
YUea...
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." This hit so hard. For a while now, I've been thinking that somehow I have this innate flaw, or was always bound to creatively 'peak' too early. I look back at my writing and the way I captured my ideas when I was younger and there is so much more vibrancy to the, as If I had a zeal that I somehow now lost. Feels good to know I am not the only one to feel like this from time to time. thank you.
this is so real!! as a writer i completely get this, it's so hard to feel like you have somehow lost a part of you that you can't express. i hope you are able to find that passion again. have an amazing day
Same here, makes me feel sad:(
I’m a writer and I couldn’t agree more. Now I’m a copywriter for a living so I feel like I lost my voice. It sucks.
I’ve just realised after like 2+ years of following her what makes Ashley’s videos so good, especially her vlogs - she manages to make ordinary life look both real and idyllic. her content reminds me of a studio ghibli film, romanticising the little things in her life and making me want to do ordinary things because it looks so comforting and peaceful. I really value that 💗
Well said, Izzy!
her ability to see beauty in the little things yet also be like "what's the point of life" is really inspiring lmao
this comment is so spot on
omg so truee!! xx
i just discovered her the other day and i like how humble and self-aware she is. i also think her honesty and openness about her thoughts and feelings is refreshing, and it makes her relate-able, cause a lot of people actual are thinking and feeling similar things. i just see a lot of her thoughts and feelings mirrored in myself
i just love how open and comfortable ashley is with her viewers,, she’s always talking seriously about how she feels and what’s going on in her head with no filter just the whole truth,,, and it makes me see her not as a relatable youtuber on the internet but as real human being just like everyone else,,, which is so hard regarding other creators
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction?wprov=sfla1
Edit for clarity: Please don't get so wrapped up in fake relationships that you forget to take care of your real life. UA-cam prioritizes content creators who try to build these kinds of "relationships" because they keep you on the platform, and most youtubers just create the kind of content they want, completely oblivious to the harm they're causing. So please take care of yourself and look for relationships in the real world! ☺️
Christ alive u are like the people who think they know everything about a person just by watching their vids, and if the killed someone you would be fine lmaoo
@@debbieyedez1838 Christ alive you are like the people who are so disgusting they create a UA-cam channel just to make a nasty comment lmaoo
She is just talking to herself.
Yeah. Fap now already.
This is truly a cinematic masterpiece, I laughed, I cried, reflected a lil bit. You are truly talented
I don't know why, or maybe I know but just not how to put it into words, but that scene on the ending, when she was baking cookies, dancing and singing along, changing her sheets, with her thoughts at the bottom, and the song's lyrics being clearly heard---that hit differently. I felt that.
This vlog felt like facetiming a friend
It felt like facetiming a friend but much more aesthetic
@@Giulia-zx2ki What I want to achieve in life 😂
Ya :)
The fact that Lauv gave Ashley rights to use his music without being copyright striked.. it’s AMAZING WAOW LOOK AT OUR GIRL
That's because Lauv is love ❤
and thats why we stan lauv 💙
iconic tbh
Michelle Liu I was just about to comment... when Canada by Lauv came on I-
I thought the same thing!!
I am a 54 year old living with a husband and 3 kids (one home from college) and although my life is so very different from yours, I can totally relate with your emotions. The pandemic, whether with family or not has been truly stressful and life changing for everyone. Awesome video. I can’t believe I’ve been binge watching you. Your delightful.
pov: we are heading towards the end of 2023 and you are not really sure if the last three years really happened or if it was just a strange dream, but you find yourself missing Ashley's videos, so you go on an hours-long binge because her videos make you feel cozy and understood.
Exactly what I'm doing too!
ashley feels like a warm friend that everyone needs
hey hanina jimineee
At some point when she smiled wide when she was doing her make up, she looked like Jungkook lol
hi ARMYs 💜
When Ashley said, “Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I’m trying to get it back”, I felt that
Yup
that last line literally made me cry. i feel you, ashley
so relatable
When life forgets to give you lemons
Same, the end made me weirdly emotional. Also been thinking about the past a lot lately
I am watching this 2022 and now looking at a 20 something girl staying alone at home and finding joy in baking cookies and singing along to old playlists makes me tear up... because even though the pandemic has calmed down... I still relate to this video. Nothing much has changed, everyone's still lonely, life is fucked up and the pandemic just helped us to realize all of that... I love you Ashley and I hope you are happier
i don't know why but this video just gives me so much comfort. like every time everything gets really hard and just too much i watch this video and i always feel better at least for those 20 minutes :)
I felt like her best friend when she was talking in the shower
Right? Like that is def something my best friends and I have done while getting ready at each other's houses ❤️
Same 🥺💗
That's the dream lmao Ashley's awesome
Same girl same. Like a roommate actually. Chatting together the first thing in the morning.
i seriously love how she's so comfortable and just chill to talk to the camera whilst being on the shower hahahaha
Yaya n how well she covered it up 🤣
she’s not chill. She’s crafting all of this and understands that it will get views.
everytime i watch this video i get smacked in the face with nostalgia. Brings me back to when i would stay in my room and paint with your videos in the background during quarantine. please post again ashley ❤. your videos made such a huge impact on me
this video is so homey and cozy i always come back to it when im stressed or unsure about life. ashley is such a wonderful person. i would take a lego to the foot to be her friend
“Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I’m trying to get it back.”
I felt that in my soul, girl.
How is it that every word out of her mouth is relatable and is consequently comforting? Her videos are the only ones I watch all the way through without skipping. I'm literally sad when they end lmao, only Ashley, I swear.
Bill Nye the Russian Spy she is wise beyond her years
Same..🥺
Dude same
exactly how i feel🥺
Bill Nye the Russian Spy she’s got the charm that makes you want to sit through 25 min ad
I miss watching this for the first time, this was and still is one of my favourite videos of all time. Thank you for making this video Best Dressed. It will be something I'll come back to for years to come and will cry every time it ends
sometimes when i feel alone i come back to this video and it makes my life better
the "sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back" is literally what I've been struggling with for 2 years. For the past two years til now, I feel like I'm not really alive. Time just passes by while I watch it. Even when something exciting happens in my life I spend the whole time stressing myself out by trying to "live in the moment" and end up not enjoying anything. It's a real struggle and it's very comforting to see that I'm not the only one struggling with this c':
You're definitely not alone with this! I struggle with it too, but it's become better when I set myself a goal and I achieved it :)
same here
The past has gone and there is nothing we can do about it except let it go. We often remind ourselves or are reminded by others how we haven't been productive in the past but always remember everyday is a new day and every new day is a new opportunity. If you miss a subway you take the another one. But before anything forgive yourself for the past and heal. It's never too late to start. You might think life is too short to be taking time for yourself but life doesn't have be long it needs to be big and you can make it big on your terms and at your own speed. Even when you are stuck you are very much alive, just take the time to rest. Don't be so hard on yourself. Sending love your way.
omg same something amazing and fun is happening and i don't enjoy it....
@@alisonlee4386 same, it's like a permanent state of dissosociating
You have such a profound way of perfectly capturing what it’s like to be alive in your videos and I don’t know how or why but you have just a perfect way of putting everything and it makes me contemplate a lot which is the best thing that a UA-cam video can do
Gaby Marie YES
this comment is so eloquently put you literally wrote out exactly how i feel about ashleys content i couldn’t have said it better
you said this perfectly
thank you for putting this in words
I like Ashley channel cause she feels like a real person, and that's pretty rare.
i rewatched this today for the first time since it came out and gods i really forgot how enjoyable your videos were. that being said, you owe "us", the audience, literally nothing. live your best life, i'm sending good thoughts
the people in the apartment who were saying hi to their friends is making me cry, we were so pure then
I love how she was casually talking about a bug while showering, like the entire vibe was so chill???? it felt like she was one of my girl friends who was catching up with me
Yeah me too
this Channel is not just best dressed anymore, it's best expressed..
Deep snaps
Myat Noe Paing “best dressed” or “most stressed” ah hah hah
OOH
yessir
love this
shes such a main character
in the beat way tho
Ok in a few years when people start making movies about this period of time, I definitely can see a lot of this in one. Like when you were doing the 7pm cheer. I don’t know why but that was so emotional.
same man ok tho during her walk through the city and seeing those people wave to there friends I started getting TEARY
i love how transparent she is with her feelings abt everything
Erica Friedman This is why I respect and love her a lot, and why she also has lots of followers, we love a real queen 😔✊🏼
agreed
yeah feels like we are her familyyy
Yeah me too
Ashley talking to us in the shower just feels like we are friends 🥰
I honestly loved that whole vibe going on
yesss right?! I just felt like I was sitting there, just chatting with her☺️ this vlog made me feel so much less lonely thank u ash🥺♥️
@@lottevdrielleseman ikkkkk, shes honestly the most wholesome and honest person. I live how open she is with talking and shiz so inspirational 🥺🥺😍
ummmmm
@@rileybrown6153 u alright b?
This video is so soothing, it makes me wanna cry I dont even know why.
and I love and admire and adore ashley so freaking much, felt so bad when she was talking about how she wasnt doing okay mentally. I hope youre doing great now, Ashley.
Her videos are timeless, literally art. And the music selection really adds to feel of it all.
When Ashley said: "do I like that my self esteem is that based on my appearance? No. But does it still somehow make me feel a lot better to like actually get ready and style my hair? Yes."
I felt that 😭😭
I love how you're just out there taking a shower talking to us about the centipede like we're you're friend.
oh my god this sounds so passive aggressive after reading all the 🧚🏼♀️✨💖🥰💫🦋 comments on tiktok
Aren't we
*your
That one rant about having a week off and how she thought she had too much time off hurt. Ashley please take some more time off if your mental health is really deteriorating. We all love you so much and we want you to spend time for yourself. :)
It’s weird 2 years later how this makes me miss quarantine somehow. I miss the world being slowed down, it feels like it’s accelerating even faster than before now. Careful what you wish for I guess.
Agreed
I’ve been wondering for what feels like ages, “how is Ashley bestdressed doing? Is she well? How’s her mental health? Is she wearing her mask?” And now I know!
She is pretty active on Instagram.
The whole mask-wearing thing in the US is so weird. In Australia, we have been recommended that only healthcare professionals and sick people or people who are really high risk get masks. Anything other than an N95 doesn't really help you, just means you're gonna touch your face more... And *touch wood* we've dealt with the pandemic pretty well compared to the US where it seems like such a shitshow. It seems horrific over there. :(
What are you really trying to imply
@@maijakelly8335 In NYC you can't go into stores without one. I wear fabric ones with filters & also disposable ones. It'll help keep me safe from others that are sick & vice versa incase I'm sick and don't know it. Our spit travels, and can stay in the air for hours, so something is better than nothing. I love how Australia & New Zealand did a great job. Unfortunately you see who's in charge in the US so we're f*cked.
I've ordered some fun fabric masks on Etsy & other sites, so if I have to wear them, at least make it fashionable with Marvel, Disney & other designs. :)
I just love Ashley!!!
her saying that she's lost her zest for life and she's trying to get it back makes me feel the weirdest sadness because she is like the coolest zestiest person I've ever seen. like if she's lost it than I know I have. I really love these videos, even just little snippets into the "mundane", because she is the least mundane person. idk
ISwearToKira I lost it from day 1 :p lmao
Being able to express it is also a sign of her openness.
Most ppl feel this way but just don't take any time to reflect - hence just carry on doing meaningless things because society tells them it's the "normal, healthy thing" to do. And then probably have a mid-life crisis
Also, it's just a sign of intelligence tbh.
does anyone else binge watch her videos because they're all the absolute most entertaining thing ever
Yup!
Can’t stop.
Man!! I love her personality.
Best thing about her is that she accepts herself the way she is or at least is moving in that direction.
Power to you girl 💁♥
anyone else appreciate the small cinematic clips of her filming herself through a mirror like when she was picking out clothes and getting ready?? also i feel like ashley is a girl in a coming of age film the way she edits her videos 🥺
I love how she is with her audience she's honest wi th her audience and shit I support where ever she goes
Omg yessdd
I cried at that part where there was a couple stopping by to say "hi" to their friend and was like "i wish i had some friends who'd stop by for me like that" 😢
Same girl, I wished I have those kind of friends who would spend time just to check on me.
Same. :/
Dude same. I feel like I keep checking on my friends and making sure they’re okay but none have done the same :(
Aw you guys are loved and it’s sweet that you do the checking in. So this is me saying Hi! Checking in on you guys from the comment section :) -random friend on the internet
@@jessicaharkley5286 I was thinking the same thing! Hi guys!
This will forever be my comfort video
She's so relatable- and the jealousy for her effortless looks is unbelievable!
You're so real, and I don't understand why this isn't more common.
Too many fake white quirky teenagers on UA-cam
The extreme amount of confidence required to not only put yourself on the internet as a Personality for ppl to buy into via subscribing, but also the extreme anxiety of putting yourself out there to be judged by several million ppl (imagine first date/party with like 2 ppl u know and amp it up to 1000000% lol) I'm guessing?
Who liked her just outta bed hair better?:)
Wtf don't put race in this shit it's all the shit same
Charlie KINGSTON she’s right and it’s always the privileged ones who say “keep race out of this blah blah”
just realized that ashley is the main character in an indie coming of age movie
Cheyenne Domingo i just watched the half of it, and the director herself described ellie chu as “the protagonist that doesn’t even know it”! i highly recommend it :)
What movie? Movie 🍿
MIATAMA2 not literally
i feel like she is playing that role too in her own lil movie that is her vlogs, she is a film major after all
I’ll definitely go and watch if she is on shows or movie maybe sex and the city 2020 🌃 ✨💃
This has to be one of my biggest comfort videos on this platform. Always come back here when feeling alone. Thank you, Ashley!
Ashley, I'm constantly rewatching your videos whenever I feel bad or anxious or lonely because it just gives me so much comfort
am i the only one who’s watched this video like 10 times? i’m not sure why it just makes me feel really safe
same :) back to rewatch
this is my like tenth time watching, its so relaxing.
same, it's like im just listening to a close friend rant to me. its beautiful:")
omg same
so have i:) it’s just so relaxing, and real. there’s nothing fake, and it feels like i’m just sitting down and catching up with an old friend :,)
You need to stop comparing yourself to others. I know it sounds soooo cliche, but its true. For example im 24 and basically i only have my degree (in a month or so) and if i compare myself to you then i would think that im a piece of shit and ive wasted my whole life. But no. My life is different, ive met different people, grown in a different envrironment etc. Someone else success doesnt mean that your success is any worse. Hang in there, its gonna be fine.
Thank you.
I'm 23, turning 24 in a few months and don't even have a degree yet. We have different journeys in life
Shit i didn’t realize how much ive been needing to read something like this. You know it in the back of your mind but it’s easy to get caught up in what other ppl have... I still haven’t finished college and in the past few years I haven’t accomplished most of what i wanted to. It’s a strange time; just trying to find peace within myself and not be so hard on myself.
@@dxzl9760 and you probably don't need the dent it could come with...smh
I tell my husband this all the time! You grow up a certain way, and with access to things others may not have. You may always try to compare yourself to your best friend who is the same age as you. But you took different paths and had different opportunities in life than that other person. You can’t compare your achievements, or where you are in life because of the different paths you took. It’s definitely hard to get in that mindset. I still compare myself to others, but try to get in the mindset of how we took different paths and had different opportunities in life. I’m 26 and still trying to get into this mindset. Hang in there everyone 💜
It's been a year when this video was released but I kept coming back and watch the whole video whenever I feel lost and empty. This video was release when I was dealing with my anxiety the whole quarantine season and I found comfort when Ashley posted this video. It's sad to be honest... But I was glad to feel that I was not alone and lonely. I found strength little by little and I am grateful to Ashley.
"There's not always a later"
Man, that hit me hard.
taternoona hard facts of life💕 the present is all we have✨
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life, I'm trying to get it back"
Why does that hit so hard
It do be hitting like a ton of bricks though
I'm not sure how this came up in my recommendations, but her feelings are pretty much universal now. Unless you are in denial about the pandemic.
pov: it's May 2024 and you still hope that bestdressed will somehow upload new video 😭🥹
Honestly going through the same thigs rn, i have to work 5 days a week so im not homeless, but ive been having that crisis where i feel like im just all work and no fun, like i cant enjoy my life. So im saving alot of money and in January im taking a break, getting a part time job and reconnecting with myself and getting my priorities straight. Random but i really resonated with this video so thank u❤
congrats on the rich parents
i dont know why but im just sitting here crying about how crazy this virus is and how weird its making life, but how normal life is. ashley still posts, im still alive, i still have friends. i'm so fortunate to be safe and this video just made me happy, so so happy.
on point
Cali Alaska it isn't "the virus" making your life wierd, it's the people in charge
Omg yes
i feel the same way! its been so crazy the last months and its to easy to forget how fortunate alot of us are. and its nice to see ashley post and just giving us her good vibes. i love it
Reoz how do you know there's a deadly virus out there? please don't tell me it's because a well dressed newswoman on a television set told you so? Do you have a degree in Virology? have you ever personally conducted a postmortem on one of the "covid19 victims" and analyzed their tissue/organ/cell/urine/feces sample under a microscope in your own laboratory? without empirical laboratory evidence you cannot simply claim that a biological organism exists.
The first few minutes when she showers I felt like her roommate, listening to her complaints while brushing my teeth and washing my face
You're all clearly too young to remember Ferris Bueller
me too i felt like we were friends :(
@@dannyt3668 it felt like the morning after a sleepover with your best friend
Coming back to my comfort youtuber, i hope ur well ashley 💗
everytime i come back to this vid and after i finish it it always feels like i jus finished watchin a movie luv her and miss her sm hope she's doin well
I've been alone in quarantine 51 days by myself because of recent heart surgery and an autoimmune condition. If I get sick, I'll probably die. People have been so helpful with grocery shopping and picking up my RX, but they never stay more than one minute - even if we're both wearing masks and are more than 12 feet apart.
I walk my dog and so I see other humans, but I don't have face-to-face conversations. It's really getting to me and today is my birthday. I've invited my friends - and everyone on Facebook who sees my posts -- to drive up and honk or wave at me. I've also asked for someone to bring me a balloon.
Initially, since I live on the second floor of a two-family house (nobody lives downstairs now), I thought I might throw cake at people who come to wish me Happy Birthday (I am 66 today), but then thought that might come across as hostile. So instead, I've made a big colorful sign that says, "It's My Birt'day" and I'll just wave during my calling hours, which will be noon to 2 p.m. (it's freakin' freezing here in Connecticut).
I had to laugh about what Ashley says about showering. I have a piece of paper taped to my bathroom wall so I can check and see when is the last time I showered. I can kind of tell by how gross my hair gets. My record without a shower so far is 10 days - eeewwwww.
But usually I shower the morning of my phone-call appointment with my therapist, which is once a week. Because we can see each other, I also put on makeup, earrings and a fresh outfit. Otherwise, I find it difficult to put any effort into my appearance.
But listening to Ashley, I feel like I want to shower and dress up every day from now on, because it might help me from going completely bonkers. Once it actually turns into Spring, I think I will wear only dresses - I have a LOT. And hats (also have a LOT).
Ashley, as always, I find your honesty very refreshing. Thank you for making these videos.
Happy birthday.
Sending you a virtual hug from the UK.
Happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday!
HTNPSullivan happy birthday!!:)
Happy Birthday !! Sending some love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
"eye contact will do it for me at this point" LMAO FELT THAT
Same
As an older man I noticed LOTS of younger women wanting me to give them 'the eye' and sometimes I'll pull down my mask and smile. LOL
@@cre8gnr8nrg don’t kid yourself pal...
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back" I felt that. It's interesting how we dive back into our past in order to find something we've lost and it's scary when you can't find it or realize that it wasn't what you thought it was. Nevertheless, I hope we all come out of this a little more zesty.
she is the only person I can cry in front of and not be embarrassed … THAT SHOWS HOW SPECIAL SHE IS!
dang, i like how so honest she is when she talks- even if shes just talking to a camera. i appreciate knowing that i could get amazing advice from her and feel like i rlly have someone to talk/relate to. thanks, ashley
I love how she talks to the camera as if we were actually there with her 🥺
Kassandra Arteaga I have watched this video 5 times now and I feel like in a way we are with her.
Totally agree. It makes me feel like a friend to her!
She's the best UA-camr tbvh, I love her narration/ story telling way & also editing is amazing
isn't that almost every vlogger
Yes indeed! I was also like "awh, dont feel lonely, were hanging out now" (: and then it got to me that I wasnt exactly in the room with her but it felt so much like it ❤
Whenever m depressed n thinking oh m useless n alone. I come back to watch her video. Cz she's so young, energetic n inspiring even after having no best friend n boyfriend. She's the idol!!
I feel so comforted and just… I can relate to Ashley on a certain level and that just makes me feel so much more better. Listening to peoples’ issues/ trauma/ any negative thing that’s happened to them makes me sort of connect. It’s sad to see others having troubles but it’s also such a great way to understand other people.
The bromance blue paint color was definitely inspired by the “two bro’s chillin in a hot tub” vine
When I read this I literally heard this guy's voice in my head, continuing with "five feet apart cause they're not gay". I definitely saw this too often lol
I really hope this girl has an amazing life, she’s an absolute original.
Ikr I love her to pieces
People don’t tend to realize how much work goes into making content, even if she doesn’t post constantly. Let us all hope that she will be as happy with herself as we are of her hard work.
Even though she isn't posting anymore on yt, SHE'S EDITING VIDEOS AND ADS FOR GUCCI AND OTHER FANCY ASS BRANDS!
I hope she realizes that we're happy for her and support her no matter what❤
@@mehh9364wait how do yk, that’s actually really cool
@@shari8157 oh it's on her insta and TikTok, she did a Gucci ad that everyone says feels like a ves Anderson movie lol
this is still one of my favorite videos ever. Ashley makes me feel so safe and inspired?? i hope she knows how she changed my perspective on life and how watching her videos feels like having a friend in times i really need one. i really wish the best for her and i hope she is well.
This was the best time of UA-cam🥹🥹
“sometimes i lose my zest for life and i’m trying to get it back” that hurts because how accurate it is.

I hope you check out my post above. Love and Peace, pray for you too.
i don’t think ashley will ever understand that comments such as these help us so much. she really is a beautiful person
Exactly
@@leahjohnson4880 I didn't think God would ever answer me either (being an atheist), but, He did. It's not a matter of one's "goodness", it's a matter of one's need. In this time especially, imho. But, peace and
it’s amazing how this pandemic started at the worst time for everyone. so many people were so close to getting their shit together and being content with their life and then BOOM HERE’S ROOOONNNNAAAA.
True!!! I was about to go finished my job application when this shit happened.
no one in particular aw i’m so sorry! i feel ya tho :(
I had just moved from CA to NYC like Ashley and had only one month in my new job lol now I’m back in CA, super in debt and unemployed 🤟
Emily Erickson damn i’m sorry about that. it’s really sad this has affected everyone so badly. i wish you the best 😔
@@emericcson123 oh my gosh me too! I had just moved from the bay in California to Manhattan in December. I was finally feeling at home and like my life was going the way I wanted when Rona hit. I moved back to Cali in March to crash with my Mom and am also unemployed. Been really difficult but I try to stay grateful that I was able to get out of the city and can be close to family right now.
Lauv and Alessia singing Canada really sets the mood for me, thank u for being so real 🤍
Revisiting this video for the uncountable time because I’m in quarantine, in August, 2021, and I’m facing my heightened issues while also trying to be better to myself. There’re good moments and bad ones, I’m just trying to get through/make the most out of each day. To whoever is reading this, we deserve to commit to making life better for ourselves, and we will make it.
this is something i def needed to hear 🥺 i hope you are doing well xx
everyone feels like in their teens rn cos we're all sad, lonely, horny and confused, n that's exactly what it felt like. we just couldn't put it into words cos we weren't mature enough to understand and admit our feelings about life, and that's okay. the human experience, no matter where you are, can be somewhat similar.
Teens and we're grounded from borrowing the car all Summer. Uggggh.
And some of us are still teens and have just had these feelings magnified:) But that’s really insightful. Maybe the emo music streams will spike now lol
when ur in ur teens still it’s all fucking doubled isn’t it 😎😎😎 i love being a teenager hOw fUn
@@atara500 wdwdwdwd ua-cam.com/video/VgIaZANxsak/v-deo.html
I legit realized this when the quarantine started. I felt like an angry teenager with no control over my situation who couldn't leave the house. It's been so shitty as an adult to relive those feelings.
I remember watching this during quarantine and feeling it so much...I was also living alone in the city so this is really nostalgic.
Hey Ashley, I don’t know if you are going to read this message or not but your videos have helped me through some low moments of my life. I was quarantined alone in a foreign country and on some days I would randomly come back to watch your video. Your job can never be pointless :)
I feel like I just watched a movie this was so well filmed and I'm not even someone who cares about the way the shots are taken, as long as I know whats going on idc, but I'm genuinely so impressed with how creative some of your shots are while still being nice to look at. I love how relatable you are especially since you're someone I look up to and seems very put together but it's nice to being able to relate:)
the shot where she's looking for an outfit from her closet but the camera is pointed at the mirror and there's sunlight on the wall so prettyyy ahhh
2:05
Watching ashleys vlog and feeling the nostalgia of lauv songs
definitely one of my favorite videos ever.
back here rewatching, literally every vid of urs is my comfort video haha
"Sometimes I lose my zest for life and I'm trying to get it back." Thats hits hard. But same. Feels good to know I'm not alone. Thank you for honest and raw content. ♡
I literally just commented the exact same thing, and then scrolled down to see you post this. I feels so reassuring knowing I’m not alone!
Sabrah Beason ofc ur not alone . What u need is to find ur purpose of this life . Just like our Body needs nourishing , our soul needs nourishment too .
I feel like this is the most human contact I’ve gotten that actually feels like a friend and that’s saying a lot cause i still see my friends everyday at work.
