When you first announced you were moving, I thought and hoped it would be to Chicago, for the sake of your mental health, because of how you looked when you were around family versus how life in LA seems to affect so many people negatively. I am glad you made the right choice for you and didn’t allow a previous decision to come in the way of that. It spoke to me today. So thank you for that.
Honestly. This will be the best thing for you! I went through a grueling college transfer process just to be closer to family and in the end my mental health thanked me. So do what you have to do.
This was the best vlog?? Lauren i’ve followed you since chicago 10 years ago....This is your TIME girl I am SO HAPPY for you. Chicago in the summer >>>>
Family is so important. If you’ve got the means, be near them when you want. You don’t regret this time you get with them. Promise. I did it too and now my Dad’s gone and I wouldn’t trade living near him his last 4 years of life for anything.
Omg feel like I'm back in 2012 when I first found your channel and have been following ever since... It's pretty clear to me that Chicago looks the best on you
when you last said you moved I was really surprised it was still in LA and not back to Chicago, super happy you've made this move, it looks like it was the perfect decision for you at this moment!
Just accepting the fact we’ll never run into each other at Alfred’s in the valley and become real life friends 😛 but so happy for you!!! Being close to your family in your 20s doesn’t even compare. Best thing I ever did was move closer to mine!
It definitely seems like as you’re getting older you’re outgrowing LA if you haven’t already completely and I respect you for doing what you need to do especially for your mental heath..if you have the means to do it why not! Life is short! Why spend it being unhappy. Anyways I live in Chicago burbs so I love this I’m looking forward to chi content and I hope maybe we can meet sometime while you’re here! 💖
I’ve been watching you since we were both teenagers, and I feel like I’ve never seen you more at peace❤️ know that you have so many people in your corner rooting for you. I’m so happy that throughout all of this you have stayed grounded and lovely. WE are going through this chapter of our lives TOGETHER and I’m excited for us.
Hey, love how real you are. You were depressed in LA and moved back home with your mom, love it. Also I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have a career where people can just add their two cents always. So exhausting girl. Take care!
Omg she is right they’re so stressful but I’m sure she can also related to them being some of the BEST years too. It is exactly what you make of it but life loves a good curveball 🤪
Okay as a fellow 26 yr old Cancer, I 1000% feel you. I just moved to Arizona (???) to be close to my family. They make me the happiest! I’m my best self when I’m with them! So happy for you & this new chapter. Cheers to learning about ourselves & making big moves 🙌🏻
I was just thinking that too!! Cause she just had bought and renovated a house in LA before moving back home to be close to her family in Toronto again!!!
I’ve been watching you since the waay beginning and I always knew you would move back to Chicago just because I feel like you are the happiest when you’re home :) and yes its ok to change LA will always be there ❤️ proud of you girl!
I appreciate you continuing to bring up the clothing line situation and I (as someone who has watched and supported you for years) genuinely do believe you were left in the dark with the details of what was really going on behind the scenes at that company. But just curious if once the lawsuit is settled will you be doing a video explaining exactly what happened? I think something that has continued to bother me and a number of others was the immediate negative reaction we received when we brought up that something wasn't right. Would love to hear about the timeline of things when all of that started and to get a sense of how you discovered things were actually wrong vs. thinking people were just trying to troll the launch. I do want the best for Lauren. Unfort. the way that whole thing played out has made me view her differently and I really wish it hadn't :/
Honestly, last time you visited Chicago/family you seemed so happy and I thought to myself “ I wonder why she doesn’t just move back there”. I think you’ll thrive and it’s a great choice!
I feel like the older everyone gets they see what makes them happy is friends or family so they move home but, when you're young 18-25 it seems the most fun to move away.
Bought a house and moved back home from the west coast to the Midwest at 31. If you are lucky enough to have a good relationship with family they are everything. Love this for you!!!!
My twenties are hitting me so hard and I have no clue what I want to do with my life and you saying that it’s okay to not know meant so so much❤️ Thank you for the reassurance
I think your explanation of the clothing line and talking through your actions was good. However you showed little sympathy for people who lost their money. Not everyone has a lot of disposable income so losing $100 can have a really negative impact on someone's life. So yeah some more sympathy and compassion within your explanation would've gone a long way.
Totally understand. I think it’s easy for me to be so focused on my own shit in the actual ACTIONS of how badly i felt and how much i did for everyone to get their money back. But like of course if i don’t tell you guys that you aren’t going to know?! So i totally get it. I think after everything i had been through i was like don’t you guys SEE what I’ve been doing for you!!! Well of course you didn’t it was through my lawyer 🤦🏼♀️ so honestly that makes more sense so me thank you. I’m so so so sorry BEYOND of course
girl we KNOW at this point that you had no part in the clothing business. So I hope anyone else here trolling you for that just gets over it lol. Love you
FINALLY!! You move back to Chicago so I can finally meet you! I’m so glad you made the decision to come home. I can totally see where you’re coming from with being very isolated in LA, and there is nothing wrong with being home with your family and hometown friends because they are the ride or die kind of people you have. Love from the northwest suburbs of Chicago ;)
since the 'I'm Moving Out of Los Angeles' video i knew you were gonna end up in chicago even after the house tour i was like "a bitch ain't gonna last" i feel like when you moved you thought "if i can move out of the city, i can move out of the state"
GET IT. Chicago is an amazing city to be single in, sober in, loving life in, and away from LA in lololol. I'm so excited for you. You're taking the fucking bull by the balls and telling life what's up.
I’m 27 and living at home with my family and it’s been such a great decision for me. It makes me so happy to see you’re doing the same! There is no shame, we are fortunate to have amazing families and we just need this time with our loved ones
the amazing line of you are allowed to course correct.every part of life is different and requires different things. I know that she's still dealing with the breakup (I went through a similar situation) and its so good to self discover around family and long time home friends (who know who you are and who you've always been)
Damn hitting that subscribe button again because this was so relatable. I left LA in December to go back “home” and it was the best decision I could have made for my mental health. Thank you for sharing your journey 🧡
I’ve been watching your videos for many years and I have to say that recently I’ve seen you grow so much. The hard things make us so much stronger & you are so strong girl. Happy that you’re doing what’s best for you. Love you and support you always.
Welcome back home!!! So excited that my chances of running into you just increased 😝😂 I started watching you when you still lived in Chicago, I’m so happy for YOU.❤️
you are really inspiring me cause I'm actually about to do the same thing, i'm going to move again where my parents live and that makes me so happy!! Thank you for telling us 💜
This was such a needed video to watch. Literally a sign to switch up things in my life that aren't making me happy or benefiting me anymore! Thank you so much for sharing everything Lauren! I've been in a funk for the past two months and I sense some major recalibrating happening now. THANK YOU! LOVE YOU!
Lauren thank you for being open and transparent about your feelings and emotions and normalizing that doing what best for you and not having everything figured out in life is okay
Actually now that I think about it when I was 26 I moved back home with family for 4 months to leave a toxic house situation and now I’m living by myself living my best life in the cutest cottage flat ❤️
it seems like lauren doesn't want to find the "one" she is just dying to find a warm body to fit her life narrative that she has planned before she hits 30, because her close friends are in really serious relationships and getting married. coming off very desperate to find a man who will propose before 30
omg visiting Chicago this summer so excited to breathe the same air as you. Lol but in all serious I've watched your videos forever and I just wanna see you thrive and do what's best for you!!
I love this for you lauren, similiar thing happened to me.. I moved away from New york city bc of the pandemic and at first it hurt so bad.. but i gave the universe a chance at showing me why and it was to be closer to family and it turns out it was the best decision i could have made because i soon my met boyfriend right after ❤️❤️❤️ Things are going to luck up for you! Sending you lots of blessings!!
“There’s just this thing called literally do whatever you want with your life “
Love
You’re not a psycho. You’re figuring it out, and you seem happy! Love it!

I’m so happy that throughout all of this you have stayed grounded and lovely. WE are going through this chapter of our lives TOGETHER and I’m excited for us.
exactly!!! Well said
‘I’m responsible for my own mental health’ god I needed to hear that
Hey, love how real you are. You were depressed in LA and moved back home with your mom, love it. Also I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have a career where people can just add their two cents always. So exhausting girl. Take care!
“Your 20’s are so fucken stressful.” Um... I’m 21. I’m already stressed LMAO I got 9 more years of this :/
Same!!
Omg she is right they’re so stressful but I’m sure she can also related to them being some of the BEST years too. It is exactly what you make of it but life loves a good curveball 🤪
Oof I’m so ready for non LA content from you!!!
Okay as a fellow 26 yr old Cancer, I 1000% feel you. I just moved to Arizona (???) to be close to my family. They make me the happiest! I’m my best self when I’m with them!
So happy for you & this new chapter. Cheers to learning about ourselves & making big moves 🙌🏻
Also I think you’d really love Glennon Doyle’s new podcast. 🤍
I’m a cancer too! Could see myself doing this 💛
Are you still sober
Proud of you for being real with yourself and what you want. I’m definitely going to sub to your podcast
"There's no guidebook or rulebook... I mean I'm sure there are some" LOL
You gotta be friends and have a chit chat with Tara Michelle about this cuz she literally moved back to cananda
I was just thinking that too!! Cause she just had bought and renovated a house in LA before moving back home to be close to her family in Toronto again!!!
Yesssssss abs the vibes are so much better now
I'm happy for you Lauren! Your 20s are hard!! I literally quit my job and don't know what I'm doing
I’ve been watching you since the waay beginning and I always knew you would move back to Chicago just because I feel like you are the happiest when you’re home :) and yes its ok to change LA will always be there ❤️ proud of you girl!

I do want the best for Lauren. Unfort. the way that whole thing played out has made me view her differently and I really wish it hadn't :/
what happened?? is there anywhere I can read about it?
@@OMGdrea Also confused here!
This is a mood booster in itself! Sooooo fucking happy/proud/excited for you and this chapter.
Honestly, last time you visited Chicago/family you seemed so happy and I thought to myself “ I wonder why she doesn’t just move back there”. I think you’ll thrive and it’s a great choice!
so happy for u for knowing what u want and doing it!! wishing u all the best always lauren
I feel like the older everyone gets they see what makes them happy is friends or family so they move home but, when you're young 18-25 it seems the most fun to move away.

The part where you said “you don’t have to do anything to please other people...” Lauren I needed that
Yay, I can’t wait for Chicago vlogs❤️❤️
My twenties are hitting me so hard and I have no clue what I want to do with my life and you saying that it’s okay to not know meant so so much❤️ Thank you for the reassurance

So happy for you! As a Midwest gal myself I can’t wait for all the content🤩

I’m 27 and living at home with my family and it’s been such a great decision for me. It makes me so happy to see you’re doing the same! There is no shame, we are fortunate to have amazing families and we just need this time with our loved ones
My fiancé and I moved at the end of 2020 and now live 5 minutes from my dad and little siblings:)

Lauren thank you for being open and transparent about your feelings and emotions and normalizing that doing what best for you and not having everything figured out in life is okay

Hi! I just found your channel and I love it!!
it seems like lauren doesn't want to find the "one" she is just dying to find a warm body to fit her life narrative that she has planned before she hits 30, because her close friends are in really serious relationships and getting married. coming off very desperate to find a man who will propose before 30
LA sucks, I don't blame you.
so happy for you Lauren, it's so great to see you THRIVING!!!
Yesss! Chicago is the place to be!! 💖
omg visiting Chicago this summer so excited to breathe the same air as you. Lol but in all serious I've watched your videos forever and I just wanna see you thrive and do what's best for you!!
FUUUUCK LA COLLECTIVE we love you

I love this for you lauren, similiar thing happened to me.. I moved away from New york city bc of the pandemic and at first it hurt so bad.. but i gave the universe a chance at showing me why and it was to be closer to family and it turns out it was the best decision i could have made because i soon my met boyfriend right after ❤️❤️❤️ Things are going to luck up for you! Sending you lots of blessings!!
