Lucy I know you see someone who’s lost but we see someone who’s gained their love of crafts back, found her home aesthetic and started a cool new business. Ofc a part of you is on-hold right now but your creativity hasn’t gone away, just redirected from UA-cam at the moment and that’s okay. Try seeing yourself through other people’s eyes!! Definitely easier said than done ♥️
You’re telling me the hedge tin incident took place a whole year ago?! Simultaneously feels like the longest and shortest year of my life, blimey! Such a lovely chilled out video, thanks Lucy ✨
As a single mother at 38 years old... I've learnt that stuff just happens and if you're too focused on the plan you think you want you are closed to different opportunities. I used to be an event manager and worked crazy hours with a 3 yr old daughter, until she was 7. Then realised it was daft. Now a teaching assistant.. And I bloody love it. I'm poorer in money but richer in time.. Best decision ever. But it certainly wasn't in the plan. X
"turn the camera on and ramble for 20 minutes, hopefully keep you company with some background noise" is ALL I NEED AND WANT THANK YOU 😍 (sorry the capitals are a big aggressive, ... it is exactly what I need right now 😂)
My life goals at 41, after flailing around in my career for 18 years which has amounted to nothing: try to be kind, try to do some good, try to get by, try to find some happiness. I'll be moving and starting over on my own after all this covid crap is done-ish. P.S. The cake looks great! And yummy!
I can’t believe it’s a year since you found the cake tin on the hedge, I remember that so vividly and now I’m also having an existential crisis at how a year has passed since that moment 😱
this feels way too relatable - during lockdown 2 and 3 my "escape" has been baking and i will just stand there making cake mix like, what's the point? why am i here? what should i do with my life? where am i going after uni? and then i get a nice cake to put off those questions for a bit longer
Lucy, I'm 31 and my dream just came true. In the last 6 months I opened my online clothing store on etsy and I got a job at my dream company, who I've wanted to work for since 2001 (yes I was 11) but dreams do come true. You don't have to let go of anything 🥰 I only got this job BECAUSE the world shut down. This happened all because of this. A weird series of events lead me down this way and now I'm the happiest 😁
You definitely need to give yourself more credit. I think all of us watching you think you're great and have a load of great stuff going on. You have your UA-cam, Gold Dust Road, a lovely bathroom on the way. It's definitely normal to feel crappy at the moment, but you should be proud of yourself :)
This was soo refreshing ! Just an honest chat ! I think we are all a bit lost and it’s understandable, life is so far gone from what we were used to! Don’t be hard on yourself, when life is back to normal I’m sure we will all start to feel normal again ! I always say don’t worry about what you can’t control ! It’s is a waste of energy and it takes away the energy from the things you do have control over ! Also the cake looked unreal !
I’m sure you said you wanted to write a book? If it’s still a dream, keep it in your long term plan because I think anything you write would be widely loved 💛.
Lucy, when you say, “I hope you’re all doing really well” at the beginning of your vids, I feel so wonderfully cared for. Thank you. I hope you find your joys again and that you do really well and have a life you enjoy the bejeezus out of.
You know what would be fun? A series: Rediscovering my style: Where you show Pinterest boards. Mini Hauls shopping blogs. This could be applied to everything like, ‘’my first trip to a coffee shop again’ ‘going home’ I think that could be cute.
Any time I get a bit existential about the big life plan, I find it quite comforting to think about how my mum worked in call centres for most of her adult working life, until one day in her late 40’s she thought fuck it and bought a cafe by the sea (and completely refurbed it) and is now living her best life as a big name about town! She legit now even has a podcast where she interviews other business owners?! So wholesome 😂 just goes to show though, you never really know where you’ll end up, and can still change your life around as a grown woman! There’s a lovely illustrated book called A Glorious Freedom that you’d love- I just take a lot of comfort in knowing that there are so many people who exist who’s stories and ‘purpose in life’ only really got found in their later years💕takes the pressure off for sure!
I can't believe it's been a year since the iconic hedge tin!!! The cake turned out so nice though! 😄 I've also been struggling, especially in the winter months here in canada. But spring is here, I've just started a new job at a garden centre where I get to talk about plants all day and people dont tell me to shut up, things are looking up 😅👍 here's hoping that 2021 is slightly better for our mental health than last year haha
I never comment because I’m too self-conscious. (Lol) But I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your videos. They make me feel like I’m having human interaction but without the pressure of having to come up with the spoons to actively participate, which probably sounds unhealthy, but that’s where I’m at at the moment. Anywho.....thanks. Thanks for making me feel less lonely.
The feeling of 'losing myself' is something I relate to so hard. I used to be so into make up and fashion and moving into not doing those things coupled with no longer being able to wear contact lenses has pretty much shattered any idea of who I am. I recently shelled out for new glasses and getting out my summer clothes and finally feel a shred of me again. I can't wait to feel like me again
I love these kinds of chatty videos where you're just baking or sitting down drinking tea, it feels like hanging out with a friend. At this point in the pandemic it can feel a little bit lonely (especially if you live alone like I do). I've found that my friends and have started sending each other videos of ourselves doing mundane things like washing the dishes or cooking but it definitely helps. We are definitely not made to be in our homes for a year straight, you're doing great and there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
Lucy, you’re always right on cue with these sorts of videos! I turn 30 tomorrow and am definitely feeling that feeling of “ahhh what am I doing with my life”. I sort of think it’s natural though, especially after the year we’ve all had! Like you, I am a massive overthinker and it’s held me back so much in my twenties. My main goal for my thirties is to combat that, reduce stress and find the things that make me happiest in life. By the way, that cake looked 😍🤤
OMG I am turning 30 in a month and am feeling all your feels and my hair is going grey too 😭 and this actually made me feel so much better that you are also going through the same thing!!! 🥰
This last year has really allowed me to be me. I am an extreme introvert bordering on agoraphobic and its been really nice not having the every day pressure to fight my personality. I now realise that I dont need to be "fixed" or change who I am to fit into society, I just need to be me and if some people don't understand well, thats fine, its not my job to teach them or explain why going down the pub just isnt my thing. I now have the confidence to know living my life inside my house makes me the happiest little person ever so I shall continue even once lockdown is over 😊
I feel a bit like this but am now feeling the pressure I'm gonna be expected to go out and do things. It's like I want to see my family and friends but I've become so comfortable with the lack of expectation to have to be social!
Said it before, but I LOVE these type of videos. It's like standing in the kitchen, with a pal, having a natter and a brew ☕ Please never feel these aren't worthwhile, because they're keeping me, and I'm sure a lot of others, sane in these crazy times ❤
It’s my boyfriend’s birthday tomorrow and this inspired me to bake him a cake.. I think your cake looked great! And you’re not the only one feeling a bit lost, I think everyone is going through a bit of an identity crisis at the moment.. we’ll all find ourselves again once the world is a little bit more “normal” I’m sure.
This really cheered me up, it's like hanging out with a friend except Im allowed to do it :) The big questions about do we let our dreams go seems impossible to answer in this current situation as so many opportunities are unavailable and getting inspired feels so difficult right now. I have a lot of belief that after we are allowed to do the things we love again then figuring things out will feel way more clear and exciting. It's like a pilot flying in thick clouds, they doesn't really know where the heck they're going :D
I totally had this meltdown a couple of days ago but ended up properly upset! It does feel like all the things that make you YOU have been gone so long you don't know what you're about anymore. I've had writing to do that's taken up all of my free time (on top of already being stuck in the pandemic) so between writing, my job, and a little bit of Netflix, I don't know who I am or what I'm good at or what I enjoy...
This resonated so much with me... I also lost part of my identity because of the pandemic, thought not the same, but the feeling of being over productive and doing 100 thousand things at a time nonstopping and know... got nothing I that also made me felt lost. One word had help me a lot: reborn.
Happy Birthday, Adam!!!! Here is a tip for your next baking experience (based on the baking paper being draped over the cake tin in the background.) When you have a caketin that has two pieces: put the backing paper over the bottom part, and put the top part on as per usual. Then you will have covered the bottom, and you can then just cut away the exsess paper around it, after you have locked the top in place. Just butter the sides, and the cake will come out easly 😘😘😘 The cake looks great!!! God job!
I think so many people have been feeling lost honestly, i've pretty much accepted just going with the flow for now which is significantly less stressful than before hahaha. But there's also a beauty in rediscovering your style and your passions, it'll come naturally and i'm really trying to not pressure myself in figuring everything out :) We'll all get there eventually
My other half is not really into UA-cam but she always makes me save your videos for when we are together. Your candor in your videos make us both really happy 🥰
I totally get what you're talking about, I feel like before Covid I was striving toward a lot of things and had some kind of a plan, but it all went to hell and now I'm just kinda floating through space trying to figure out what I want but nothing really feels important because I pretty much lost all motivation for planing, so for right now I decided that I'm not gonna plan anything and just see how things go.
Dear Lucy, Apart from finding you absolutely hilarious, the reason your content resonates with me so deeply is because we have the same theme of existential dread in our lives. One key point I keep trying to remind myself lately is that always wondering what the point is, what's next, what am I going on for, really prevents me from enjoying my life in the now. I think the goal we should be striving for is to be content with the unknown. As much as I fear not knowing what I'm doing or what the purpose is, I think the voice of fear around looking back and realizing that I worried my way out of happiness in the moment is more critical to listen to. As always, sending you love from across the pond.
This video made me laugh a lot 😄 So relatable, whether it be an existential crisis, overthinking your overthinking, the metaphors or ongoing interests from childhood. I appreciate this video a lot ❤️
This video sums up pretty well how I feel too. I think we all just love having your presence on the Internet. You're like a comforting friend that's relatable. Happy birthday to Adam, is it weird if I pop something in the post to him? Xx
I have to say that I think we all agree that we've sort of lost the plot to our lives this past year. I lost the plot way back when, so I feel even more behind. I'm a nearly 40 yr old back in college, so there you go. I think the habit of over thinking has been amplified by all this nonsense and not seeing the people that ground us in such a long time makes things even worse. Here's hoping it goes away soon and we can hug all our friends and family soon. Also, I've loved (!!!!) your videos lately. They've kept me sane with all this homework I've been doing (my son and my own). Keep up the great work. You're killin' it!
I was not expecting it to be but I think think this was my favourite video of yours ever. Totally understand the feeling of not knowing your dreams or what your aiming for. It’s hard not to feel stressed about it but like you said, the world could stop for a year and put plans to a haunt anyway so probably shouldn’t worry so much! Adam - can you kindly go for more walks so we can get more of Lucy’s ramblings please. Love to you both! Xxx
Lucy your KITCHEN. YOU. EVERYTHING! I stan. RE: Dreams/What Am I Reaching Toward. I've been re-thinking what success means to me, and that's been helping A LOT. I'm not abandoning my dreams, I'm re-adjusting my frame of mind, so that I know I will be happy IF they don't happen.
HOW do you always manage to put into words how I’m feeling. I’ve been feeling completely lost both as a human and questioning my purpose ect. Disney really do be hitting me too! I watched Soul and it just made me realise I’ve lost my thing, my spark. This year has a lot to answer for!
A Sunday morning Lucy video!!! What a treat 😄 I feel lost too, but I have to say my lockdown life hasn't been that different to normal life. I don't have many friends or family to miss, and lockdown/ease of lockdown has really highlighted that haha, oh well. The cake!!! ❤️
I was totally with you already and everything you were saying and then you quoted my girl Pocahontas and I was like YASSSS KWEEEEN! I turned 31 yesterday, and being an actress by trade I’m feeling the exact same way as you. It’s so easy to feel lost at the moment but trust that you are on the right path! Keep sharing these chatty vids, hearing someone feel the same way is everything at the moment. Big loves x
You are such a legend I really enjoy your updates and your funny stories:) (hedge cake tin wtf) But otherwise so relatable! Also I am about to turn 30 and I keep finding grey hairs and it is deeply upsetting each one! We are in this together girl ❤️
I totally understand what you mean about wanting to have a sort of life plan even if you don't want a fully fledged one. I think it helps to have really small goals (like I want to cook at home on weekdays and only get 1 takeaway a week, or I want to save up to buy XYZ kind of expensive adult thing) because it helps to sort of ground your goals in reality.
Lucy this has made my day, everything you have rambled about is so so true for what I'm feeling like and what so many others feel like too!! But you're muddling through and making so many people laugh and relate to you in the process! Keep going and you'll rediscover it bit by bit x but Thank you so much for doing this, even though you have no idea what you're doing 💓
Er excuse me, who gave you access to my inner existential crises? 😬 your videos are like little rays of sunshine, I look forward to them so much! Also, can we just talk about how beautiful this video was, in addition to the content? The hair, the outfit, the lighting, the kitchen decor 😍
I've been dyeing my grey hair since my mid twenties (I'm 36) and there is nothing more satisfying than getting a big crop of grey/white hair and watching it turn to dark brown. Love your Tracey Beaker bowl x x x
I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now and have never felt really big on comments, but I really connected with how you felt in this video and felt like now was as good of a time as ever lol. I’ve been feeling super similar about being lost and uncertain about the future and how I’m going to spend my life. I graduated high school last year and now that I’m in college the pressure of not knowing what I’m going to do and the endless possibilities of the future is daunting. All is to say that I felt really seen and a lot better after tuning in to this video. I appreciate how honest and open you are. I’m sure we’ll both figure out our dreams and be alright in the end, I’m rooting for both of us :)
Thank you Lucy for your complete honesty about how you feel after the last 12 months madness. Plus I was screaming at the video that you had the wrong spoon but you had the right one to start with! Love you thank you for being you xx
What a delight it is to watch you talk about something I can relate to SO SO much at the moment presented in such a funny manner. You are just absolutely wonderful!
Lucy ❤️ thank you for this wee chat! I have been feeling the exact same sense of being lost and having no idea what I want to work towards. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in feeling that way...
Thank you so much for opening up about feeling a bit lost... I'm finishing university next year and have absolutely no idea where to go from there (plus not seeing my friends and spending most of my time inside and in front of my laptop doesn't help), so I really appreciate the honest chat. :) It really helps to know I'm not alone with this feeling. :)
Oh Lucy, thank you so much for this chat! I feel you, really. But hey you're a writer - you can go wherever you want to and do whatever you like. It SAVED ME to be able to write. I only needed to open up my mind to the possibility of writing a book, telling a story, that just maybe could inspire others to find and follow their own dreams. So I did it. I stopped filling every free minute of my day with social media and instead thought about, what I would want to tell the world, which truth was screaming at me, wanting to be told. I'm writing my second book right now and one day I'm going to publish them. But for now, just writing really helped me to feel myself again and discover things about myself, I didn't know before. Maybe give it a try? Sending you a warm virtual hug from Vienna (btw LOVED watching you stroll through my hometown in a vlog like a century ago!!) 🍀
As a fellow woman in my 30s, studying for a degree/profession I don't know if I wanna be in, having also spent about a year with my partner at home, I really feel this. Life goals, knowing what the future holds, everything is up in the air at the moment and it's time I accepted that that's ok. Thank you for a really relatable talk! 😊🤗 Also, I'm getting the grey hairs as well and I think it's kind of cool 😳
Haven't you said you'd love to write a book? I had severe depression a few years ago so I decided to read loads and then write a book in my spare time (I'm a biology teacher too). I never thought it would turn into a dream but then I sold the book and got contracted for the next 3. Now my dream is to write more books and for people to enjoy them. I bet you could do it! And then, who knows? Maybe that'll be your career in a few years!
Same here, had a couple of zoom calls where we just had nothing to say really, what exciting lives we have 😂 but you should make it into a series: background noise for lockdown😁 i love watching your rambly, showing up keeping us company videos!
The way you word things has me in hysterics 😂 and the way you told yourself off for juggling with eggs actually made me laugh out loud! I have said it before and I will say it again I could literally listen to you talk about the process of paint drying and wouldn’t be bored haha x
Lucy I know you see someone who’s lost but we see someone who’s gained their love of crafts back, found her home aesthetic and started a cool new business. Ofc a part of you is on-hold right now but your creativity hasn’t gone away, just redirected from UA-cam at the moment and that’s okay.
Try seeing yourself through other people’s eyes!! Definitely easier said than done ♥️
Also a teenie critique, maybe a more downwards angle next time so we can see the cake whilst you’re making it? Haha x
You’re telling me the hedge tin incident took place a whole year ago?! Simultaneously feels like the longest and shortest year of my life, blimey! Such a lovely chilled out video, thanks Lucy ✨
"Teaspoon of vanilla" L-Lucy, that's the tablespoon!
Literally me screaming that at my screen haha!
Was also screaming at the screen haha!
Although... with 5 eggs?? Thank god she put a tablespoon in!
@@darrenmoo21 me too!! xD
Same!
Also let’s talk about how AMAZING your hair looks - I think you’re the only person I’ve seen who’s hair looks good at this stage of lockdown 3000
Lucy looking at the tablespoon of vanilla, saying it looks like too much to be a teaspoon but adding it anyway is a BIG MOOD 😂
I came to the comments section for exactly the same reason. Honestly though, it just made me relate even more 😂😂😂
I was just about to say this 😂😂😂

I feel the same way about being lost! I feel like I've become a greyed out version of myself. We will find the colour soon 🌈❤
Lucy quoting Just Around the Riverbend is everything I needed in my day and more 😂💕
"turn the camera on and ramble for 20 minutes, hopefully keep you company with some background noise" is ALL I NEED AND WANT THANK YOU 😍 (sorry the capitals are a big aggressive,
... it is exactly what I need right now 😂)
PLEASE TELL US HOW THE CAKE TURNED OUT!!!
*so sorry for yelling but I have to know the result of the tablespoon of vanilla*
My life goals at 41, after flailing around in my career for 18 years which has amounted to nothing: try to be kind, try to do some good, try to get by, try to find some happiness. I'll be moving and starting over on my own after all this covid crap is done-ish. P.S. The cake looks great! And yummy!
I can’t believe it’s a year since you found the cake tin on the hedge, I remember that so vividly and now I’m also having an existential crisis at how a year has passed since that moment 😱
this channel makes me want to enjoy a cub of tea and snuggle in a blanket
Lucy: I need a mug to calm myself and to stop the flappy arms.
Also Lucy: puts mug down after literally 10 seconds and flappy arms resume 😂
When you sang “say a little prayer for you” to your cakes, I heartily laughed out loud and my mood has skyrocketed. Still chuckling 😂😂
“Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious” 👌
this feels way too relatable - during lockdown 2 and 3 my "escape" has been baking and i will just stand there making cake mix like, what's the point? why am i here? what should i do with my life? where am i going after uni? and then i get a nice cake to put off those questions for a bit longer
Everyone has lost the plot entering the second year of pandemic.. But you’re doing it in the best way: drinking tea and baking 😂💚
Lucy having to actively remind herself not to juggle with eggs is an accurate reflection of my state of mind most days.
You can’t polish a turd 💩but you can cover it in Oreo’s 🤣🤣🤣brilliant, had me floored! Xxx 💖😊🙏

I only got this job BECAUSE the world shut down. This happened all because of this. A weird series of events lead me down this way and now I'm the happiest 😁
I love how Lucy is soooo shocked by normal cake baking things 🤣 "Five eggs!!!“ "28 minutes?!" 😂😂😂
You definitely need to give yourself more credit. I think all of us watching you think you're great and have a load of great stuff going on.

I’m sure you said you wanted to write a book? If it’s still a dream, keep it in your long term plan because I think anything you write would be widely loved 💛.
Εxactly. I'm in no mood for any call involving screens to be fair.
Lucy, when you say, “I hope you’re all doing really well” at the beginning of your vids, I feel so wonderfully cared for. Thank you. I hope you find your joys again and that you do really well and have a life you enjoy the bejeezus out of.
I can't wait for future episodes of "baking Adam's birthday cake"!
This needs to be a recurring segment on the channel lbr
You know what would be fun? A series: Rediscovering my style: Where you show Pinterest boards. Mini Hauls shopping blogs. This could be applied to everything like, ‘’my first trip to a coffee shop again’ ‘going home’ I think that could be cute.

But there's also a beauty in rediscovering your style and your passions, it'll come naturally and i'm really trying to not pressure myself in figuring everything out :) We'll all get there eventually
My other half is not really into UA-cam but she always makes me save your videos for when we are together. Your candor in your videos make us both really happy 🥰
I totally get what you're talking about, I feel like before Covid I was striving toward a lot of things and had some kind of a plan, but it all went to hell and now I'm just kinda floating through space trying to figure out what I want but nothing really feels important because I pretty much lost all motivation for planing, so for right now I decided that I'm not gonna plan anything and just see how things go.
Do you have a hand mixer? When you use the mixer to mix the butter and sugar, it becomes fluffy and well blended.
Dear Lucy,
Apart from finding you absolutely hilarious, the reason your content resonates with me so deeply is because we have the same theme of existential dread in our lives. One key point I keep trying to remind myself lately is that always wondering what the point is, what's next, what am I going on for, really prevents me from enjoying my life in the now. I think the goal we should be striving for is to be content with the unknown. As much as I fear not knowing what I'm doing or what the purpose is, I think the voice of fear around looking back and realizing that I worried my way out of happiness in the moment is more critical to listen to. As always, sending you love from across the pond.
"ehh right, what am I doing" could not relate more 😹
This video made me laugh a lot 😄 So relatable, whether it be an existential crisis, overthinking your overthinking, the metaphors or
ongoing interests from childhood. I appreciate this video a lot ❤️
This video sums up pretty well how I feel too. I think we all just love having your presence on the Internet. You're like a comforting friend that's relatable. Happy birthday to Adam, is it weird if I pop something in the post to him? Xx
Your face when Adam walks in... let's not pretend that you have reached one of your dreams :)
i love how you throw references at any moment its amazing
I have to say that I think we all agree that we've sort of lost the plot to our lives this past year. I lost the plot way back when, so I feel even more behind. I'm a nearly 40 yr old back in college, so there you go. I think the habit of over thinking has been amplified by all this nonsense and not seeing the people that ground us in such a long time makes things even worse. Here's hoping it goes away soon and we can hug all our friends and family soon. Also, I've loved (!!!!) your videos lately. They've kept me sane with all this homework I've been doing (my son and my own). Keep up the great work. You're killin' it!
I wish you'd keep doing UA-cam in 3/4 years because you make my day with your videos!
I think what you feeling now from talking to my friends is what everyone is feeling right now after a year of lockdowns so you are not alone!
I was not expecting it to be but I think think this was my favourite video of yours ever. Totally understand the feeling of not knowing your dreams or what your aiming for. It’s hard not to feel stressed about it but like you said, the world could stop for a year and put plans to a haunt anyway so probably shouldn’t worry so much! Adam - can you kindly go for more walks so we can get more of Lucy’s ramblings please. Love to you both! Xxx
Lucy your KITCHEN. YOU. EVERYTHING! I stan.
RE: Dreams/What Am I Reaching Toward. I've been re-thinking what success means to me, and that's been helping A LOT. I'm not abandoning my dreams, I'm re-adjusting my frame of mind, so that I know I will be happy IF they don't happen.
HOW do you always manage to put into words how I’m feeling. I’ve been feeling completely lost both as a human and questioning my purpose ect. Disney really do be hitting me too! I watched Soul and it just made me realise I’ve lost my thing, my spark. This year has a lot to answer for!
“vanilla extract... shantay you stay”
ma’am, the vibe of this video is ✨exquisite✨
I genuinely love watching your videos. You're like a breath of fresh air during these dreadful times
I could literally listen to/watch this all day. So relatable and down to earth, please do more! ❤
A Sunday morning Lucy video!!! What a treat 😄 I feel lost too, but I have to say my lockdown life hasn't been that different to normal life. I don't have many friends or family to miss, and lockdown/ease of lockdown has really highlighted that haha, oh well. The cake!!! ❤️
I was totally with you already and everything you were saying and then you quoted my girl Pocahontas and I was like YASSSS KWEEEEN! I turned 31 yesterday, and being an actress by trade I’m feeling the exact same way as you. It’s so easy to feel lost at the moment but trust that you are on the right path! Keep sharing these chatty vids, hearing someone feel the same way is everything at the moment. Big loves x
I could watch you do mundane things all day! 😂😂 you’re a tonic!! Truly (not like cake baking is mundane! LOL!) bloody love ya xx
And a little sitenote, i've been absolutely loving your videos and ramblings :) Really feels like a place of comfort
You are such a legend I really enjoy your updates and your funny stories:) (hedge cake tin wtf)
But otherwise so relatable!
Also I am about to turn 30 and I keep finding grey hairs and it is deeply upsetting each one! We are in this together girl ❤️
Still can't believe that it's been a year since #hedgetingate 🤯 The final cake looks great!
I totally understand what you mean about wanting to have a sort of life plan even if you don't want a fully fledged one. I think it helps to have really small goals (like I want to cook at home on weekdays and only get 1 takeaway a week, or I want to save up to buy XYZ kind of expensive adult thing) because it helps to sort of ground your goals in reality.
Lucy this has made my day, everything you have rambled about is so so true for what I'm feeling like and what so many others feel like too!! But you're muddling through and making so many people laugh and relate to you in the process! Keep going and you'll rediscover it bit by bit x but Thank you so much for doing this, even though you have no idea what you're doing 💓
"I like to destroy my own ideas until I'm a broken shell of a woman" --- saaame!!!! 😘😘😘
Er excuse me, who gave you access to my inner existential crises? 😬 your videos are like little rays of sunshine, I look forward to them so much! Also, can we just talk about how beautiful this video was, in addition to the content? The hair, the outfit, the lighting, the kitchen decor 😍
Love that you talked about overthinking as you overthunk the cake 🙌 beautiful demonstration
Also having an existential crisis while eating cake mix off a Christmas spatula is a whole mood
I've been dyeing my grey hair since my mid twenties (I'm 36) and there is nothing more satisfying than getting a big crop of grey/white hair and watching it turn to dark brown. Love your Tracey Beaker bowl x x x
I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now and have never felt really big on comments, but I really connected with how you felt in this video and felt like now was as good of a time as ever lol. I’ve been feeling super similar about being lost and uncertain about the future and how I’m going to spend my life. I graduated high school last year and now that I’m in college the pressure of not knowing what I’m going to do and the endless possibilities of the future is daunting. All is to say that I felt really seen and a lot better after tuning in to this video. I appreciate how honest and open you are. I’m sure we’ll both figure out our dreams and be alright in the end, I’m rooting for both of us :)
Your rambling (no disrespect meant - I love it) about life has really resonated with me today... thank you! Cake looked great xx
Thank you Lucy for your complete honesty about how you feel after the last 12 months madness. Plus I was screaming at the video that you had the wrong spoon but you had the right one to start with! Love you thank you for being you xx
What a delight it is to watch you talk about something I can relate to SO SO much at the moment presented in such a funny manner. You are just absolutely wonderful!
Lucy ❤️ thank you for this wee chat! I have been feeling the exact same sense of being lost and having no idea what I want to work towards. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in feeling that way...
I've loved your videos over lockdown. I was made redundant and I can relate sooo hard to all of this.
Brighter things are coming 🌈
This video resonated with me so much!!! I feel like Lucy has this knack for knowing exactly whats going on in our brains! Ps cake looks YUM 🧡🦊🧡
Thank you so much for opening up about feeling a bit lost... I'm finishing university next year and have absolutely no idea where to go from there (plus not seeing my friends and spending most of my time inside and in front of my laptop doesn't help), so I really appreciate the honest chat. :) It really helps to know I'm not alone with this feeling. :)
Oh Lucy, thank you so much for this chat! I feel you, really. But hey you're a writer - you can go wherever you want to and do whatever you like. It SAVED ME to be able to write. I only needed to open up my mind to the possibility of writing a book, telling a story, that just maybe could inspire others to find and follow their own dreams. So I did it. I stopped filling every free minute of my day with social media and instead thought about, what I would want to tell the world, which truth was screaming at me, wanting to be told. I'm writing my second book right now and one day I'm going to publish them. But for now, just writing really helped me to feel myself again and discover things about myself, I didn't know before. Maybe give it a try? Sending you a warm virtual hug from Vienna (btw LOVED watching you stroll through my hometown in a vlog like a century ago!!) 🍀
I don’t know I’m experiencing lockdown delirium, but this video was hilarious and ~deep~ at the same time! Stay awesome 🙌🏼😂
I feel like that too! Feeling disconnected from the things that make me 'me'. Its hard. Hopefully we can reconnect with ourselves this year!
As a fellow woman in my 30s, studying for a degree/profession I don't know if I wanna be in, having also spent about a year with my partner at home, I really feel this. Life goals, knowing what the future holds, everything is up in the air at the moment and it's time I accepted that that's ok. Thank you for a really relatable talk! 😊🤗 Also, I'm getting the grey hairs as well and I think it's kind of cool 😳
This whole video is just so perfectly relatable! Thank you Lucy!
Haven't you said you'd love to write a book? I had severe depression a few years ago so I decided to read loads and then write a book in my spare time (I'm a biology teacher too). I never thought it would turn into a dream but then I sold the book and got contracted for the next 3. Now my dream is to write more books and for people to enjoy them. I bet you could do it! And then, who knows? Maybe that'll be your career in a few years!
Loved this, so nice to just listen to you chat away. Love your personality 😊🌟💜🍰
Same here, had a couple of zoom calls where we just had nothing to say really, what exciting lives we have 😂 but you should make it into a series: background noise for lockdown😁 i love watching your rambly, showing up keeping us company videos!
I really love this style of video! Feels like a chatty catch up
This chat is most of what I'm feeling but can't put into words
Your rambles are the best ❤ I feel like my stream of consciousness is pretty darn similar at the moment!
The way you word things has me in hysterics 😂 and the way you told yourself off for juggling with eggs actually made me laugh out loud! I have said it before and I will say it again I could literally listen to you talk about the process of paint drying and wouldn’t be bored haha x
You are my favorite UA-camr. Mainly because you are real and it is like I am in your Kitchen.
