- Hello dearest friends! We are back with another vlog. As you probably noticed, this one was actually filmed back in October, but I loved the vlog enough that I still wanted to share. If you can, I highly recommend going to the bookstore or a cafe on a Friday night - it is so peaceful and cozy! Thank you for spending a weekend alone with me, it ended up being a good one.
For anyone else who is feeling lonely, or just tends toward being introverted, this one is for you.

Introverts definitely get lonely. We are human after all. ❤
Wise words!
This is so true. Often though, I feel more alone in a crowd as I'm almost always the quiet wallflower that nobody notices and when I talk I get talked over by the more loud, aggressive types. It has been this way my entire life. The cure for this, because depending on the situation it really does hurt me, is to be alone with my animals and write in my journal or read a book.
Am introvert. I enjoy with myself and am not lonely. I have a cat to play with. 🙂😺
If you have fake friends like me, you will prefer to be alone all the time. One my friend gossip about me and the rumors spread around. I can't trust her.
Introverts are not human. Nice try puny introvert.
I do the exact same thing when i feel overwhelmed or sad. I adore the feeling of being surrounded by books. It makes me feel so cosy.
Embrace being alone because it's just the season of life I'm in, it won't always be like that, and I think it's just important to embrace it...aww I love it🥺
I've been by myself if you will, for years. I enjoy my own company and I take myself out all the time! 😊 I've raised my family; divorced and work, go to the gym, etc where I'm with people, but still by myself.
My favorite thing is to go to a bookstore and spend the afternoon! Thank you for a lovely video.
Heavenly! Sounds like me
I find myself popping around videos like this for the peace in mind. I’m 19 and always alone and would rather go to a bookstore then a bar or buying a bottle. I have a boyfriend but am probably more alone now then when I was single, with his schedule I’m alone more then I am with him. I love my peace and being an individual but sometimes I look at myself and ask what I’m doing.
You are not alone, I am very much in the same vote! Sending love and company.
I enjoy having time alone! :) Going alone to a café or shopping, thrifting or just walking.
Yes! It can be very magical. :)
For most introverts, being alone is a joy. Many introverts feel alone even with many people around ... such is the life of an INFP.
No matter where your life takes you - you are someone who will never be truly alone.
Thank you for sharing this. Always been an introvert. However, after losing my spouse, it's taken time relearning how to be alone without being lonely. And the local bookstore is my salve whenever the house gets too empty.
I spend a lot of time by myself, but I rarely feel lonely. When I do, I call my friends and have lunch. A book store is a special place for me as well. 😊
This was such a comforting vlog, I loved it! It definitely gets lonely sometimes (as an introvert myself) but watching videos like this makes me feel so calm & happy!
Oh that genuinely brings me so much joy to hear, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed.
I used to do things alone or with my son I was divorced. I met my husband at 38 and we were married 38 years until he died. He was a police officer.I have about 800 DVDs of movies I would watch again and Netflix. I am now watching Giant again.
I LOVE being alone..always did..
Someone like me... 🥰🥰🥰
I feel happy when I'm alone.I have peace of mind specially when I'm reading my books😂..honestly I just love being Introverted and not spending time with fake friends😅 ..
Mad cozy.
Your clip was a great find. I love book stores, but I prefer hard bound books. Thank you for sharing. I think there are more of us than we think.
Not alone with a good book. Best wishes.
Penguin Classics....great stuff!
I'm an extrovert but I enjoy spending time alone. Everyone needs alone time.
Thanks for your video! I feel healing for your ordinary scenes. Especially bookstore. love it❤
I miss when Fnac had those "reader's corner" where you could sit down and enjoy reading whatever on their shelves. Sometimes I also had dinner, and drawed for some time while enjoying my meal and drink. I still do that from time to time, when I'm bored of drawing stuck in my room.
im currently watching you first time and I have to tell you, youre so sweet!!! this video made me feel better and happy. your vibe is really cozy. im glad that i saw you on my recommended videos. have a happy weekend💗💛
totally agree - paperbacks are superior to hardbacks. oh man, and a night of muffin and coffee at a book store is the best!
oh and pro tip - in order to prevent dribbles when drinking from those cups, make sure the cup's seam is on the opposite side of the drinking hole. changed my life after discovering that.
Great cozy video!!😊
I love Thomas Hardy too...and yes that film adaptation from 2015 was excellent.. Your video was lovely. I' m ajusting to being alone ( recently widowed ) and its bumpy. But early days and every day will eventually be easier. Take care..❤
As an introvert, I 100% totally agree! ♥
I love interesting conversations. Often, it is so much easier to find them in a book or a movie. Maybe, we should refine our thinking before we speak. So, when we finally say something, it would come out like a well-crafted song, a poem, or an aged wine.
I need this right now! Thank you!
What a great bookstore! Thank you for sharing it with us. 📚📚💕💕
I’ve missed your videos so much! I’m gonna binge watch them now 😆
oh yay haha I hope you enjoy 🥰
I like your video so much, and i also enjoy reading, sunshine, walking.
I love this video, you are so soothing to watch😘
Paper back always for the win!
ooh I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
Great video Faith. Your videos are always so calming and peaceful. I love the idea of a solo date at a bookstore (especially one with a cafe attached 😋). You did a great job of putting up the shelf - so handy to have all your stuff within easy reach. Btw I love your pheasant mug and your duck mug 🥰 I agree with a previous commenter that ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ (1975) is one of my all time favorite period films 😊
Oh thank you so much, that means a lot to hear!
I love reading get my books in the library or charity shops for 20p lol
yes!! thrift store books are the best!
I didn't know that Robin Buckley loves to spend time alone. 😮 you look amazing!!!
So enjoyed 🐞
bunny is an amazing book, i finished it in one day. don't read any reviews though, go into it not knowing what it is about
oooh I love that haha, now I will!
definitely the weirdest book ive ever read with such a hidden message@@TheSunAlsoReads
I always love the video's where you go to the bookstore
Oh thank you Sanne!! Momento is such a good film!
Loved this 💛
Oh thank you Grace!!
Your skin is perfect, I believe you don’t need any makeup at all. Those who use makeup things, start to look much older very soon. Makeup destroys the natural skin texture. You look soothing and calm. I don’t know why people use the word alone and lonely too much. We can be alone amongst thousands and we can be noisy while alone. It’s all state of mind. Thanks
Lovely video Faith, I'm glad you're back! :)
My favorite period piece is Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), you might have seen it or read the original book already. It's about three girls and their teacher from an Asutralian boarding school in 1900 mysteriously disappearing, I love it for its magical elusive new-age feeling combined with period setting as well as the gorgeous cinematography of dreamy landscapes, rivers and rocks.
Not a period piece, but another film I love for its magical oneiric feeling is The Double Life of Véronique (1991) about a young French singer and her mysterious doppelgänger in Poland. It feels a lot like remembering a strange dream that colours the coming day with a feeling of melancholic hopefulness and bittersweet feeling for something elusive, something slipped away as you woke up.
As a literary person, you might as well enjoy the works of Eric Rohmer - his films explore the intricacies of human relationships, moral dilemmas and philosophy through naturalistic dialogue. The settings, especially seasons, also play an important role in his movies, making for a lovely backdrop of summery holidays in nature or cozy orange falls. The dialogues as well as the look and landscape were an important influene to both the novel and film version of Call Me By Your Name!
I hope you find some enjoyment and inspiration within those movies. It's nice to see a vlog again and I'm definitely looking forward to more of your calm and cozy videos!
Totally agree with you about Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) - it’s one of my all time favorite films. You described it very well. 😊
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to pass along these recommendations!! I will definitely have to add these to my list.
When i watch CMBYN i got this weird loneliness that i cant explain and carry that for several months. It feels that i got scares but when i read the book i think its the cure 😂 but yeah CMBYN is extraordinary.
Love ur vids💘🌻
Hi Faith!! it's so good to hear your voice as I only knew you on instagram! I thoroughly enjoyed the vlog ☕🤎
awe so happy to have connected on here!!
yess, new video finally yay
I just put up a new video last week? 😂
yes but I'm excited for all of your new videos @@TheSunAlsoReads
@@harshalstyles awe I'm glad to hear it, thank you!!
I just found your channel today and really like your videos. Very refreshing compared to so many videos out there today that seem to copy each other and all look the same. I love books as well and I am quite the introvert. I really don't get lonely since I prefer to be on my own. I love films also but I don't think I've watched a period piece in a long time. One film about books I love and watch often is The Ninth Gate. I'm not sure if you have seen it? It's from 1999. Another film I love about books is The Reader or La Lectrice from 1988 but it's in French. I notice you were reading one of the Millennium series books in your other video also. I enjoyed all those films as well. I have the books for each but haven't read them yet.
ooh thank you for those suggestions, I will have to add them to my list!
The Ninth Gate 👍🏻
I’m reading Ogilvy On Advertising. I LOVE books and book stores. Glad I found this channel and community ❤
Villette, yes! I just finished it-were it not eclipsed by Jane Eyre, it would be seen as CB's masterpiece. And thanks for this captivating video!
Hello from Cincy! I'm so glad I found your channel and Instagram! :)
Awe hello from Indy! Thanks so much for saying hi, and I'm so happy to have you in my little corner of the internet Allison! :)
I love Éric Romer movies. They are not long classic adaptations, but more like poetic essays with dialogue. My favorite is La Boulangère de Monceau made in 1962. I love watching French new wave. On the other hand, a book based film from one of my favorite authors, Janet Frame, is An Angel at My Table, a sort of autobiography. She wrote in prose, which I love to read, and the film feels that way too.
Unironically i love the pride and prejudice zombie movie 💀💞👍
I've actually heard really good things about it!!
I get it, Faith! I also consider myself an introvert, but sometimes I do miss connection. My boyfriend and I spent almost 3 years doing long-distance. it was hard but temporary.
You should be so proud of making the most of that weekend. Sometimes, even though it is not what we want, we have to spend time alone, and having fun and challenging yourself with those shelves instead of staying in hiding is so much more fruitful. I hope you had a lot of weekends like that since then.
2 period pieces I watched not really recently, but recently enough are Legends of the Fall and The Wonder, they are VERY different, but both are so good. I would say that The Wonder is a bit more interesting, it's about a nurse that goes to rural Ireland to observe a girl who is miraculously surviving without eating to prove if it is a miracle or not (my explanation does not sound interesting, but I think the trailer would do a better job). Legends of the Fall, I was sure I was gonna dislike it, probably because the title in Portuguese sounds so cheesy, but I liked it so much! It's about " three brothers and their father living in the wilderness and plains of Montana in the early 20th century and how their lives are affected by nature, history, war, and love" (I took this from the movie's Wikipedia page). I found the movie very intense and the places were so pretty!
PS. 2: It's so good to have another video
Oh thank you for this sweet comment Julia!! I completely agree with everything you said. I actually watched Legends of the Fall this past summer and thought it was very well done!! The Wonder is on my list, hopefully I'll get a chance to watch it soon. :)
Wouldn't it be nice to have a town just for introverts? Where we all understand each other.
I feel more alone when I’m with people..I love my alone quiet time to read, workout, walk my dog, listen to music, cook.. I enjoy my own company more than I like being with people
What bookstore is this and where is it located. I’ve been looking for a store that big that doesn’t just have only books.
I would rather enjoy my own company than be with toxic fake friends.
And yes I do get lonely 😂
beautiful
My fave period drama is actually a miniseries adaptation of "North and South" by Elizabeth Gaskell, there are two versions, but the one I always watch is the one from 2004. Far From the Madding Crowd is a favourite too, but not Pride and Prejudice because there were many things that I didn't like, in fact, I only like the settings, the soundtrack and that Mr. Darcy, everything else is a NO. However, the 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle (let's overlook the lake scene that they put there jut because) is a masterpiece.
I'm a huge fan of your instagram and your vibes, and I'm really happy that you are back on youtube :) Have a nice week!
Ooh I am very intrigued, I will have to check those out, thank you!!
@@TheSunAlsoReads The real challenge is to try not to fall in love with Mr. Thornton ;) ENJOY!
@@pollys6192 ooh just the way I like it haha!
Absolutely....I'm alone again kids grew up.... ex-husband divorced me. It's calming actually to focus on simple tasks
If you have Netflix, I bet you would enjoy the miniseries "One Day."
Oh I've heard such good things about it!!
looks like Powell's Books Portland Oregon
Hi❤ really love your video and the vibes🫶🏻 may i ask where did you get your tote bag🥺? It’s soo pretty💕
It's by Freja NYC !
@TheSunAlsoReads Thank you😍🫶🏻💜💜
I would recommend the movie Shopgirl…with Steve Martin and Claire Danes♥️
Ooh a phenomenal cast! I will have to check it out, thank you!
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson is so amazing in my opinion, it's shocking and controversial and definitely worth reading so i hope you'll like it. Great video!
I read that one back in school and agree it is phenomenally done!!
I always thought I was odd. I would rather have a paperback. It just feels better in my hands. Hardcovers are just to rigid.
Ooooh love the calendar on the wall. Who's the artist? Love the content!💫
Oh thank you!! It's by Studio Satsch on IG :)
Hello, what is the movie you recommended? Pride and prejudice is my all time favorite.
Far From the Madding Crowd! :)
@@TheSunAlsoReads Thank you 😊
Please tell me the brand of liquid blush?
It is Saie!
If Max Caulfield had a youtube channel
Where did you buy your ring ?
which ring? :)
5:06 your right hand !😊
It's quite a few years old from an Etsy shop that doesn't sell it anymore, but if you search up "dainty opal rings" on Etsy some similar ones will pop up! :)@@yummy_asmr6959
this video popped up on my recommended! I see why because we are extremely similar Faith. :) I am in the same season of life. being alone is fun but at times it can be rejuvenating to be around friends. I moved to a new city and struggling to connect with others. if you have space for friendships, I'd love to connect! I think we'll get along well. - new sub! Joy
What was the movie called? Couldn't really catch it.
Allied! :)
is it really alone? :) 103 thousand views :)
I’ve come a Long way to Learn how to be alone and to understand that being Alone does Not Necessarily translate as Loneliness. Also, As someone who for Most of my life yearned and desired to have a husband, and although I Married quite young, I never Knew the first thing about the Fine Art of Marriage. As well, I truly believe what helped to ruin my Marriage is the fact that my husband and I started having Babies much too soon (I LOVE MY CHILDREN!! So please don’t come for me l😂). But over the years after going through a Divorce, rearing my children with God’s Blessing, and finally having an Empty Nest, I’ve come to Embrace being Alone. These days I truly Treasure the Time to read my Bible, spontaneously take a walk, or phone a friend and meet up for lunch 💜
I was never alone and so glad it's us three only it's the beginning lots to do in person write a Bible make other planets fun stuff create rest vacation conversations remember everything and u and see what we will do one day later kids I'm very grateful thx and I'm glad these are fakes and no one exists yet but us three one day word to I want to discuss how u will get jn there as my own person even tho we are one jon very interesting yaaaay 😂🎉❤
love ur video vibe！
Pride and prejudice 2005 is an all time favourite 🤍
Such a good one!!
You remind me, of me through the years and today. I am lonely and alone quite a bit. But I go to the library, book stores or antique shops, etc. to your point it fills up my soul to be with so many stories. Stay well.
