    Ris, it's such a gift to have you back. I've been rewatching your older videos recently hoping you'd post. You make us all feel less lonely, even when we are spending time alone. It's such a gift.

    you’re the only youtuber i follow for videos like this, maybe the only person i listen to this carefully (and for this long, lol) online. i’m really happy to see you back. there’s something about your videos that i can’t quite describe, a sense of peace, mindfulness, and familiar thoughts. plus, your visuals are always beautiful. thank you for being here 🌸

    It's admittedly a relief seeing you pop up in my notifications Ris, I had been wondering about you for some time and had been thinking of how you'd been since your attempt at a life reset.
    I think it's good on you to be learning that love for being alone and it does make me want to do the same after I realized that I've been in this cycle as well. I keep talking myself out of doing things alone even though I have a car now and I have income where I can go where I'd like and be by myself for a while, but I haven't done that. I rarely did things without company and I think that it's something I need to work on.

    I'm always checking in every couple weeks and hoping to see that you've come back and was so happy when you posted on your story a new UA-cam video was out! your videos are always something that gets me out of a slump and make me feel so comforted, thank you for sharing your creativity and love of the world with us, people will always be here to watch and support (:

    Oh boy is the feeling of being overworked, taking a break, only to have 4 x the amount of work when you get back relatable. Hope you haven't gotten sick again between the filming of this and now. We are a similar age so your videos have always been a reflection of events happening in my own life. It does get easier, not a lot, but it does get easier.

    My parents took a vacation similar to this last year after my mother started losing weight due to stress. They took another one this year, and i think this video helps me understand more what they enjoyed so much about it that made them want to go back again (aside from just the hot tub) sometimes you just need space to reflect on it all (and a hot tub right outside the door)

  • @juliathesheep
    @juliathesheep 5 днів тому +6

    I grew up in this part of New York and live very far away now, so this video was an amazing watch. I don't get homesick very often, but it mostly happens when I think about how different the environment and architecture looks, so your hike and exploring town really helped me remember what I miss. I'm glad it was a good time!

    I really relate to what you're talking about around 4:50 about actually enjoying being alone and being alone a lot as a kid. Right now I'm married but it's been not going to best and part of my issue is that I've been worried I won't enjoy being alone anymore. I'm not sure what we're going to do ultimately, but this video was really helpful and aptly timed. Thank you. Also good to have you back :)

As another young 20something year old who's life feels so stagnant, this video is a breath of fresh air knowing I'm not alone, that change is possible, that no matter how much my brain says otherwise it is not always gonna be like this

  • @maxinecampbell4702

    ugh I love this, I’ve been spending a ton of time alone the last couple years and it’s honestly been really healing as someone who used to be so codependent on other people. I’ve learned that I love myself, I’m a cool person, and I don’t need other people to be able to do cool stuff. Good luck on your learning to be alone journey! Proud of you 🫶🏼

    I love being by myself and for the past ten years have been alone most of the time. But I also have that weird feeling when everything is quiet and I have no way to distract myself, it makes me very uncomfortable, probably because it's just me and my thoughts. I totally understand the feeling you described after the end of a relationship. I actually stayed in a relationship for way too long because I was afraid to be alone again. Kind of weird, because I was fine before. I think you did great and you did an amazing job to test out your (un-)comfort zones and these things take time and a lot of trial and error.
