THE RIS RETURN🩵
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.
i don’t know how to explain how comforting your videos are. you are so easy to love.
why am i crying right now omg thank you so much
Cheers to that!
BABE WAKE UP, A NEW RIS VIDEO DROPPED!!!
"I let myself take spending time with myself as seriously as I take spending time with others." (taking this with me)
I'm so glad you're back 😭 I missed your creativity and witty humor
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 🌸
Coming out of a 3 year relationship. Relearning how to be on my own. I
cannot tell you how much it means to hear other people pushing through.
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.
Finally someone gets exactly how I feel about baking vs cooking.
as someone who just came back from a week long break with a hot tub, i really appreciate the passion around tub time i feel like it's not appreciated as much as it should be tbh
it's so great to see you back! on cold showers: you don't have to commit to the whole thing, i have my shower as usual then turn the temperature down slowly and back out at different points depending how i feel that day. do whatever works for you
Its great to have you back, anytime I need any motivation I watch your room makeovers and they genuinely help- I wish you the best, we love you Ris!
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)
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 was just thinking about you yesterday and how much I missed your videos 😭 I’m so happy, glad to have you back!! ❤️
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 :)
Ris!!! So many of your words really hit close to home and I'm so glad you posted again 💜. 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
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 have such a blast every time I spend time alone, then immediately forget about it and start fearing being alone again. I am so glad you’ve documented this for yourself and others so we can all remember that being alone is not only possible but also bloody lovelyyy
waiting for ris to drop a video is like waiting for lorde to drop her next album... both are so worth it
im screaming at this comparison omg thank you
ris your videos are so comforting. i’ve been a fan since middle school and now im halfway through college 😵💫 i find myself growing with you and i think it’s such a beautiful reminder. now i want to go sit in a hot tub 😭😭
this comment made me emotional omg i am so grateful that you’ve stuck with me this long, and so glad to be able to grow w you all ahh 😭
@@RisIgrec STOP IM LIKE UR BIGGEST FAN UR SO COOL also tysm ‼️‼️ your videos have been w me through sm it’s crazy but everytime you post i do a backflip fr fr
Hey - this is exactly what I needed tonight, sick, studying for exams, feeling lonely, learning to be okay far too long after a break up. Thanks
I have been anxious af all week but after watching this i feel so comforted!! so happy you are back, i missed you ris ❤
missed you ris!! your videos are always so grounded and human and this is probably the best one yet
Ris! I've missed you. I hope your heartache stops soon. I hope you're always mentally in the peaceful hot tub. I wish you all the best. Love you!
after living in the uk for several years now, i utterly miss public thermal baths from hungary, being in hot water is such a great way to relax and switch your brain off
YES I WAS LITERALLY THINKING OF YOUR CHANNEL THE OTHER DAY
SAME
Your videos will always hold a special place in my heart, happy to have you back
You have no idea how much needed to hear all of that. Thank you. It's always a blessing when you post on UA-cam
Such a comforting feeling when there’s a new Ris upload.
its so good to see you again! i used to watch your videos a lot in 2020/2021 and it was always a great comfort to feel a little less lonely during those rough years. you actually kinda contributed to me getting into fountain pens believe it or not lmao. i hope you're doing well :)
whaaatt new vid from Ris?? i missed you!!! and wow ur hair looks so good damn.
opened my notifs to see if i got another dumb reply on an innocuous comment i made like 7 months ago I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS !! this rlly feels like you but the grown up version (tm) its so silly and fun and im trying to feel these vibes too, less distracting myself and screentime and all that
Sobbing to Past Lives is so real. I'm not super emotional but that movie broke me for a couple days. It emotionally drained me and I was just watching it.
so happy to see you back n doing better, this was lovely and thank you for sharing with us
Ris your video was really healing, thank you for posting this it’s really comforting to know someone else is going through something similar to me
First time watching you and omg I’ve never felt like I’ve met such a kindred spirit on a screen.
can't quite explain how much I needed this video in this moment, saving grace fr
ris!! so happy to see you back here
this is the first vid on this kind of topic that has made me feel seen. thank you
i'm so happy you're back and well ❤
An angel gained it wings with this video
Your videos are so comforting dude. Welcome back!
IM SO GLAD YOU’RE OK OMG
Ris!! So happy to see you’re still making videos. Loved watching and hope you’re doing well!
i m so glad you come backkk😭😭🫶✨️
You do not know how happy I am for another video! Really feeling the tub time chat.. Love you please post more!
RIS!! WELCOME BACK!!
RIS IS BACK Y'ALL GET UP!!!
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.
5:10 this is special. Celebrated new years in hot tub with friends, and drunkenly said this. We did. best new years ever
I'll watch this after work but I'm glad you're back Ris.
oh my god ris im so happy you're back also omg you don't mave 20k subscribers anymore... I'll forever brag about being the first person to make fanart of you lol
omg dude thank you for sticking around all this time. the 20k era was so fun :,)
this vid came in handy in my sleepless night, thank you
and I hope good things will be coming your way
greetings from the other side of the world ❤
