- IG: / rowenatsai | Happy (belated) World Mental Health Day, sweetest potates. đż As weâve mostly been staying home the last few months, itâs been easier to slip into a state of loneliness than ever before. For those of you whoâve been around for a bit, you probably already know a bit about my past. But despite all that has happened, I like to believe that the universe is fair in that just like how weâll never be happy all the time, weâll also not be engulfed in not-so-positive feelings forever. Itâs easy to feel that our current state of being is permanent, but itâll be helpful to remind ourselves that everything is temporary, including being lonely, and that we can always take steps to change our current reality. đ No matter how big or small of a step weâre taking, so long as weâre staying hopeful and trying, thatâs whatâs most important. â¤ď¸

Ever notice during meditation that your own soul has been sitting there keeping you company and has been waiting for you to finally notice it?
What a beautiful thought
Omg love this perspective!
Thatâs such a cute way to put it :â
Yes! it is like coming home to yourself.
Read the untethered soul by Michael Singer! It goes into detail about this
âZuko, you must look within yourself, to know yourself, to become your true self.â
Uncle Iroh. Love that guy.
Uncle irohâ¤â¤â¤
đĽşthe best uncle
You must look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself.
I think thats how it went.

"THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND TRULY ACCEPTING SOMETHING"
GAME CHANGER!!
đ
Hi David, youâre right... thereâs a difference between knowing something and believing something...
I believe that Iâm alone? Or I know that Iâm alone?
All i have to say is u nailed it đđťđđťđđť
@@Tina_45 Actually she nailed it, I'm just quoting what she said that resonated with me the most.
@@nicolettaluongo3359 I recently realized that our bodies, our minds and even our five senses help give the illusion that we are alone. We can express ourselves and choose individually but ultimately we are all connected at source energetically. As I like to put it "We are all expressions of the one consciousness"
crying cause this is exactly what i needed today
Me too, I needed this so badly
i came to the comments section to write the same. universe is truly magicalđ
ME TOO!
I feel you đđ
Sending love and suppott
If you make a podcast, imma be there asap
omg please! i really hope rowena makes a podcast
the voice is so soothing
Really needed this. Thank you ..this is life changing.
đââď¸
I always have this wise words in my head when i feel down: let it hurt, let it bleed, let is heal, and let it go.
Beautiful
wow thank you! this is what i truly needed today
I've just started uni and my flatmates aren't really my type of people, but they are the only people I can spend time with because of the covid restrictions where I live. I feel like I can't be myself ever and I've been feeling extremely lonely lately, even though I'm not alone. I just want to feel accepted but at the same time I can't imagine being good friends with them. Idk why I'm saying all this, but I just wanted to get it off my chest :)
maybe you could talk to them about it ? Obviously not all at once but do see what you could have in common with them maybe they just donât know how to make you feel included ;((
Hey keep your head up! I've been in the exact same situation and looking back, that year of living with girls I didn't totally see eye to eye with, ended up just reinforcing who I am and what my values are. Good luck! Believe in who you are
@@sanchsthetic Thank you for your advice, it means a lot!! I've kind of talked to them individually about it. I have been putting in a lot more effort in the last week and I have been hanging out with them everyday. However, they are quite judgemental people and I don't like how they talk about others. They don't really line up with my values. I just want to them to like me, even though I don't think we'll become close friends. I'm just not able to meet anyone else because of covid so I feel stuck.
@@volubleperspicacious thank you so much!! It's so comforting to know that someone else has been in the same position! I've been focusing so much on whether they like me or not that I've forgotten that it doesn't actually matter, so long as I like myself. So thank you for the reminder!
Sometimes the hardest "alone" is when you're with others who make you uncomfortable.
Something that has helped me appreciate my loneliness is pushing myself to try new things on my own. I feel like when you try new things (especially on your own) it teaches you that youâre capable of more than you realize and gives a huge confidence boost, and this can slowly help you grow more comfortable with doing things by yourself. âşď¸
Also, I think itâs better to be alone than to be in the wrong company. Now Iâve come to love/prefer my solitude over meaningless outings with people, no more wasting time here and there, doing XYZ. Loved the video rowena. â¤ď¸
Yessss, THIS!
I agree with every word in this comment đđťđđťđđť
Off topic you are gorgeous!
Like what type of new things?
I recently graduated from college but staying in our little college town bc of work but Im scared to realize that I donât have many friends, and the ones I do have are either gone or graduated as well. Ive been feeling very lonely and being alone is scary and intimidating for me so every day is a challenge to do things on my own. I also miss my family sooo much and especially my sisters and just having people surrounding me so this video and this comment specifically is really a challenge that im hoping to overcome! đ¤§
I used to spend A LOT of time alone, I had almost no friends and usually really by myself.
I started loving it so much that when i finally did have a steady relationship and now kids, it was very hard for me to give that alone time up.
I even 'mourned' that time and freedom up until my son was well over a year old.
I love my family and have found a way to adjust now, but it's a special season if you're able to have that much alone time.
Maybe this could give a view on this from a different persective :)
Year late but this and what Rowena said is not only an eye opener but kind of a scary way to look at things (I'm grateful for it tho). I am a person that doesn't mind being alone when in the comforts of my own home but do crave intimate relationships (romantic/platonic) and do feel misunderstood more than half the time. I digress, I fixate over being alone romantically a lot but to think about barely having time to myself has made me appreciate where I am now a bit more đđ . Family is beautiful and ofc as your son gets older you will have more time to yourself đ
In a relationship, I find that the person that Iâm with is always competing with my solitude.
Love this
A related quote:
"I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one's center of life inside of one's self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity -- to decorate one's inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone." -Edith Wharton
thank you for helping me decorate my inner house
omg I love the quote so much! Thanks for sharing!
I was just crying throughout the video. Thank you for reminding me to feel my feelings. Being in a foreign country without my family and friends has led me to numb again. It's the numbing that snatches away the joy and the sorrows. It's better to feel different emotions than to "toughen up" and just float through life and not really letting go.
Thank you â¨
I hope she knows how many people she inspires and helps. This is a hard topic to talk about and personally I still feel uncomfortable when I reflect back. Iâm sure sheâs a mentor to most of us and I can say that we are all grateful for her content and for her genuineness.
My mom passed away 6 months ago. She was my light, the most positive person I've ever known. I lived with her after my divorce. I'm so glad I found your channel. My life is a LOT like yours. Thank you for what you do! âĽď¸âĽď¸âĽď¸
You have no idea how much I needed to hear this.... This one hit hard, "Loneliness isn't the physical absence of other people - it's the sense that you're not sharing anything that matters with anyone else." Damn. And to answer the question of what I'm putting off that will lead to a brighter future...It's that I've started an art business that had my full attention and passion. I was creative and learning about exciting things about how to grow and how to reach other artists, but all of a sudden it dropped off when I fell into a well of FOMO, depression, and an endless pit of loneliness. I need to keep on keeping on. Thank you, Row! I'm excited to see what else you add to the series. Thank you for your wisdom.
I pour myself into my job. My boss told me to take the weekend off. Itâs been hellacious. Iâve realized I have very few relationships and theyâre all superficial. And I have no life outside of work. Itâs left a huge aching feeling that I âwork throughâ by going to the office. I needed this video
i'm in the depths of having an existential crisis at the moment and you worded every. single. thought. so. beautifully.
Senior year of high school is actually killing me. I know thatâs an exaggeration. But with zoom school and college apps, I canât stop the feeling that I am just going through the motions.... I want to LIVE. But idk what that even means. Thank you for this, it made me feel a lot better. You just canât stop inspiring people, can you?! đ
Couldnât agree more, Iâm going through the exact same process right now. It feels like a never ending cycle of work, and trying to balance school with the college apps and my personal life is quite daunting, but I am sure that it will all be worth it in the end. Please keep me updated, I will too!
Salma yesss! Glad Iâm not the only one
Hahaha. Inspiring others is to Rowena what cookies are to the cookie monster. She can't get enough of it. xD
I feel the same way.. wanna be friends?đ
@@makennabowens9004 omg yes lol
this really hits home for me as a freshman in college. i have been feeling lost and tried to fill this void of loneliness by keeping myself updated and distracted with friends. i would neglect sleep or work to talk to them over video call, or spend hours on social media. it leaves me feeling pretty drained by the end of the day. i absolutely dread being alone with my thoughts. but this video really puts things in perspective. i will definitely be reflecting and spend some more me time. you have been my favorite youtuber for awhile. thank you for all you doâ¤ď¸
i'm now a sophomore, i felt the same way last year too :/ hang in there, and stay true to yourself, you got this đ
âLooking externally for internal problems.â So true and so hard to overcome. I have been trying to be mindful and get really engaged with every action I take. I have noticed that helps with focusing on the present and appreciating what I have rather than what I think I need to have to solve my problems. Thanks for sharing!
i love and needed this thx queen đ
I love it when people that actually went through it and found a way to overcome, try to share what they knew, what helped them, and to help others đđđ
Thank you!
My sense of loneliness increased when I was around co-workers and acquaintances where there was no connection or sense of belonging.
But then I felt less lonely when I started Working From Home, I'm alone working from home but am no longer lonely because there's nobody around to make me feel excluded.
I would be open to some form of community/making friends through this. Some form of discussion or something. I have been manifesting to the universe that I find/make more relationships with people who think similarily!!
Such a lovely idea!
This is one of those ideas that is so good it makes you say to yourself: WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!?
Great idea!
a discord would be really nice!
Sounds like a really nice idea to explore!
I'm currently a freshman in college and i was looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully making new friends because all of the friendships that I've had for the past 5 years have been so surface level. I have felt so lonely and had a meltdown today trying to explain to my mom how I felt, but wow watching this I feel so much more on the road to healing, as I really confronted my feelings and emotional triggers today. Thank you Rowena for your wisdom and sharing your story it made me feel so much less alone.
When Rowena started saying glitter sparkle, sparkle my heart danced with joy. I'm so happy and hope everyone gets to experience joy, peace, and love in their lives!!
I still cannot believe she used to be a party girl
@@iPranjalSinha are you aware that by judging other people, you are shutting their tries down to be a better person. It really destructive, so please try to not do it anymore.
@@iPranjalSinha Chile luv
Pranjal Sinha I am in College and not a party animal - so not all people are?
@@iPranjalSinha You can't judge someone's depth through a screen and telling people they're shallow is just an insanely mean thing to do.
Also, by saying it's normal that everyone's a 'party animal' in college you're forgetting the one's that aren't, telling them they aren't normal.
I hope you have a nice day, trying to reflect on life a bit instead of writing stuff like that
@@noctyris2887 Well said!
This video came to me when I needed it the most, it's like you were talking to me directly and hitting all the points i was feeling and how to take the next step to bettering myself
The timing đ
Thank you Rowena, Because of you and your videos Iâve come to understand myself a bit more and I started to think about my life goals. This wouldnt happen if I hadnt stumbled upon your video which really opened a whole new world of self-awareness, self-love, and gratitude for me. â¤ď¸
Thanks so much! I really need to work on myself. I am introverted and have been scapegoated by my fanily my whole life. I can't be alone too long or else my mind starts to become my enemy. I always distract myself with television, but on beautiful spring days like today I am so sad for not having people to hang out with. One day I will be strong and put everyone that bullied me in their place, but the first step is loving myself and my own company after they made me feel so unloveable. Thank you so muchâ¤ď¸
Being not alone and lonely is the most painful quadrant for me. I love how you talk about this topic. Thanks for the great video!
you allowed yourself to feel. I hear you. you checked in on yourself and that is so healing.
wow thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share your private life with us - i really appreciate that! your advice is excellent and i will definitely use it! thanks again Rowena xx
Totally agree with you. Mastering the art of being alone but not feeling lonely is honestly satisfying đđ˝
ok hear me out:: merch that says âAlone not Lonelyâ in a cute font on like a hoodie or beanie- it would be so cute â¤ď¸
I'm so glad i found this video. right now, I'm going through the loneliest feeling of my life ever. i feel really lonely and I don't enjoy things as much as I used to.
Absolutely Rowena! We tend to see being alone as such a negative thing, but love how you reframed it into an opportunity to get to know ourselves while we are able to reflect on life without the huge responsibilities that will come in the future
Thank you so much Rowena. Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like the universe is telling me that it got my back. Thank you for always saying the right things at the right time.
this is my second time commenting on anything on youtube ever (the first was on another video of urs). I just felt I needed to this; I think you're a truly amazing person and I love your mindset and how you talk about things openly and how you've accepted vulnerability and show up for it bravely. Your channel is like a breath of fresh air for me and I'm so glad I came across it in 2020.
That Jim Collins quote, oooof. Gave me chills. THANK YOU ROWENA!!! This video is extremely helpful, you're a star. I appreciate you sharing your journey with us, this potato sends you a big voice hug!!!!
A feeling only last for 90 seconds. Thank you for reminding me nothing is permanent. Sending love to all of us đđđđđđđ
You don't know how badly i needed to hear this and knowing that there's alot of people like me and share same feeling and thoughts and it's okay you also sat the guidelines that we need to follow in order to get better for us so thank you for the encouragement and the emotional and informative talk wish you all the best â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
I am constantly surrounded by family but there were times where I felt so lonely. Now I am at peace and even enjoy my own company. Its all about healing properly and being at peace with yourself. Love the video. Your content allows me to put my crazy life in order. Keep up the good work
I needed this video right now! I just started my freshman year of college about a month ago and it has been the loneliest month of my life. I have been having a hard time making friends due to anxiety. I really need to learn that being alone is okay and I shouldn't rely on other people to make me feel happy.
Thank you, this was very nice and very needed at this time. Also I love that you call everyone âsweet potatoesâ itâs like a virtual hug and puts a smile on my face every time.
I've been crying for weeks straight every night due to the loss of a loved one and i really needed that. Thank youâĄâĄ
hello early once again đ¤ thank you for always putting out content that actually help me push through what Iâm going through with depression anxiety and thank you for being an inspiration to me. Love you and thank you for your encouragement to continue with my own channel too I really appreciate you â¨
Love you Rowena, thanks for being with me on my journey to loving and believing in myself. it's still early in the process but each step is easier with you đ
your content really helps me rowena, thank you so much for bringing amazing insights and having these in depth conversations with us! we appreciate you a lot. đĽşđ
i'm not joking at all, this was the exact thing I needed to hear to change my mindset. thank you
really needed this after following my gut and telling a tinder date he wasn't right for me yesterday - I need to believe that I'm on the right path
Thank you for making this video. I felt like I couldnât find comfort anywhere else and I think this will be able to help me someway on my path out of loneliness
queen rowena delivering exactly what we need đ¤
i just started this self growth journey and your videos are really helping me. thank you so much
Minute 3 and 4 just kind of blew my mind. I'm going to watch this video over and over until it's internalized and understood. Thank you so much!
I love everything about your channel and videos, the energy you and your videos give off is so calming and beautiful! Iâm so pleased and grateful I found your channel xxx
Thank you Rowena, I was really looking forward to your next video! đ This challenge can happen at any age, and more than once depending on the situations we face. One point I would respectfully like to add, is to not be afraid to seek help. In my lonely times, I was sometimes able to figure it out by myself, other times I got external help. I feel like we can get caught in the self reflection too deep, and we might not be equipped or have the internal resources at that moment to properly analyze ourselves. Either a true friend, a trusted family member or a professional can open our mind to seeing our situation from a different angle. Itâs a journey, and we never stop learning đ¤
this is a very important video!!! thank you for sharing your journey and for inspiring us, rowena đ
I'm going to open my notes and take some notes. This really really helped. I've been feeling so stressed and so lonely lately. I have 0 friends and it gets hard sometimes to just be alone and not being able to share anything with anyone who cares to listen. It's like I have no connection with anyone. Thank you so much. I am really going to take notes from here and implement them. Love you.đ
You have no idea how much I needed this. I'm dealing with this alone/loneliness topic right now and it's affecting my mental health, so thinking that maybe it's temporary it's so helpful bc I'm really trying to feel and be better. I'd love to see more videos about this in the future! And thank you for your amazing content and energy as always đ
The video really affirmed self love concepts that I already know but am afraid to execute. Thank you for being a guiding light during these dark times!
I love you so much!!! My favorite CZcamsr of all time. I appreciate every video you make and itâs pulled me out of a dark cloud and into the light. Thank you!
Youâre so genuinely beautiful, not only on the outside, but on the inside and in your presence, thank you for sharing your story đ
yes please, more videos on the art of being alone but not lonely.
so good to see you ro!
love you!
Thank you so much Rowena, you really have no idea how impactful these little videos are to my mind.
Being able to revisit these concepts and feeling that empathy that you mention, finding fellow kindred spirits. It all helps in an impactful way, thank you
I needed the heck out of this video , genuinely A BIG Thanksđ
I've been putting off watching this because it's hard to think about/acknowledge my loneliness, but I'm glad I finally watched. I need this today.
As a new grad starting a new remote job in a new city this rlly hit hard... From social media I thought everyone was doing ok and I was the only one feeling this way. Rooting for all of you out there to have a reshaped mindset â¤ď¸
in the beginning of this video you described my exact experience better than I've ever been able to. thank you.
I felt the pressure in my head melt away, thank you.
Thank you for the video Rowena. Today is my birthday and I felt like you dropping this video was a message for me because this one of the things I wrote down on things I want to do in my 27th year which is falling in love with spending time alone again.
Thank you!
Haven't even watched the video yet, am still in the premiere waiting, but I already know it's going to be so great!!
Welp, I was right :))
What an authentic and genuine video. You never disappoint. It is humbling to see how you are able to reflect on your own journey, distance yourself with thoughtful objectivity and grow from it. Rowena, you are one of the rare creators on CZcams who is able to share content and inspire your community while always remaining true to your values.
RO! I found your videos in March when I stumbled upon your tea latte recipes...and I am so glad I did because you're the gift that keeps on giving amazing, authentic content. Thank you for just simply being YOU
Thank you so much for making this video! Everything you speak to is all things I wish my younger self knew and are great reminders for my current self that no mindset lasts forever and to just enjoy life without taking everything too seriously đ
I love how you always have the greatest content! Honestly, your videos in the morning next to breakfast is the part of the day I always look forward to !! :)
I didn't realise how much I needed this - thank you â¤ď¸
Happy to see you again uploading a new content âĄ
Enjoying the smell of the garden from last night's rain plus watching ur video is perfect combo.
Iâve got to say that this is my most fave video of yours! Love the positive vibes that you exude, Rowena! đ
I really want to thank you with all of my heart. Youâve made me feel very secure and stable in a moment where I feel useless, unliked, or even unworthy of life.
you are so so worthy of life and living :') sending you the biggest, warmest virtual hug!!
Thankyou so much for this. Iâm crying earlier about how i feel that iâm so alone with my thoughts and they are ranging. And after
watching this it calms my nerve. Loveyou! spread the love! God bless you!
I just got real emotional watching this. Thank you for creating videos with so much thought and intention!
To be alone is better than fake friends!!!
This has been the most helpful advice about loneliness that Iâve received so far. Thank you so much â¤
I love and am very very grateful I came across this, eternally grateful for you existing
Thank you. I am currently going through a lot as a college freshman, having the need to be a perfect daughter and sister, and trying my best for myself it just feels so overwhelming and I felt so lonely because I felt like my family does not want me around and I donât have any friends. I really needed this Iâm going to start my journey today. Thank you
The cycle you describe at the beginning is exactly how I was in my first semester at uni, I was so homesick and not aware of it, and going out drinking so much and doing things I still don't know why I did, things that weren't really me
thx for touching on this topic 𼺠Iâm really going thru it and this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I just found you and this is the 5th video I've watched and I love them all so much!!!
you said everything i needed! thnk you!! we re so lucky to have you
Reframe your circumstances!!! You don't know how much this video just helped me.
Holy shit this is one of the most helpful things I've ever seen/heard. Nothing has ever been so right to hear
Your pfp is so beautiful
I always smile or rather my whole being smiles when you say"sweetest potatoes"
You're lounge the sister/best friend I had. Love you â¤ď¸đ
thank you so much for this video. I, along with many others I'm sure, have been feeling lonely in these times, and I have recently started journalling and reading the right stuff so I can try to help myself be better, because when I've had those little moments where it all seems worth it, it's wonderful. brilliant.
When you're 38, single and alone, it's hard to be positive that life will improve. All your age peers are married with kids and only want to be with similar. Sigh.
Youre right. It makes me sad too. And everyone is asking why you havent a family or kids yet
I feel your pain, I'm experiencing it at the age of 33 plus the covid hit and all the restrictions. Hard. Just want to let you know, you are not alone... that's all.
Everything that hasnt happened yet has a reason. Maybe if u did have a spouce and kids you would feel worse becuase u did do the necessary work to live a fulfilling life. These things completely change your life and you have to be ready for it. Take this chance to figure out what u need for yourself as a person to feel like you dont need someone else but yourself. The people surrounding u have different lives? Ofc u r gonna feel left out, so you look for people who are similar to you. Go out there and try new and different things. Covid makes this harder but it makes it harder for everyone so the mesures ppl take are the same to get to know new people. You can absolutely do this just realize you are the focus of your life so act like it! Always remember everything happens for a reason. This applies to everyone who feels the same ofc :)
@@g.h.5296 I wish you a lovely partner âĽ. Another perspective : I am married, 38 but we dont have any children unfortunately. Tried for many years in vain. That has bought a lot of sadness : just me and my husband, what is the point? But I try to live a mindful happy life. I have a channel too by the way, you might enjoy it âĽ
You've gotta connect to other people in the same situation
Wow!! This was like a gift from the universe. I was just thinking of rewatching the video you had previously made on âthe art of being alone but not lonelyâ! Friends around me have been chasing sporadic online dating relationships that I personally donât resonate with, and had me thinking on relationships, solitude and happiness being alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you â¤ď¸
Thank you so much for this. Iâve been searching for this kind of guidance in therapy and this has honestly changed my perspectiveâ¤ď¸
