    Sarahhh, go easy on yourself! moving can be such a stressful time for our bodies and minds even if we don't really perceive it as such. I love change and actually really really crave it in my life but at the same time, our nervous system gets accustomed to places and situations and people and loosing one of those things from one day to the next is almost definitely gonna throw us off balance for a while. So be gentle with your brain while it’s adjusting to a new environment! love the video , as always

    No need to feel like every vlog has to be cheery and upbeat. You’re showing the real stuff! And that’s what we want 💛

    I think this is my favorite vlog you’ve ever done. You sounded so clear and grounded in this transitional moment, felt really intimate and genuine. Kudos, keep going girl! ❤️🎉
    Ps, also when I loose my tan at the end of summer I add isle of paradise tanning drops to my moisturizer and it really helps brighten my face and make me feel more confident and like myself.

  • @huntrbrns
    @huntrbrns Před 11 měsíci +1

    I’ve definitely experienced a similar feeling..
    When I moved recently I quit my job, broke up with my partner, turned 24, and got my car stolen all in a two month period. 😅
    There’s a lot that was stressful, but there also a lot that I had to be thankful for.
    For a long time I just felt numb, but continually grounding myself & remaining true to who I know I am & eventually the cloud started to lift.
    It’s a process, but truly everything will always be okay - and on the other side I’ve found myself with a greater sense of identity & more grateful that I was before all the hard things I went through.

    @LaurenOrion Před 10 měsíci +1

    Ahh Sarah! I’ve been watching you since you moved into your last apartment! I stumbled upon it on the day it was uploaded and I’ve been a faithful viewer every since! Truly the end of an era but very excited about this 💗

  • @kyrabernauer8172
    @kyrabernauer8172 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Your willingness to be vulnerable and share your emotions and personal stories is a testament to your authenticity. I think it's one of the things that makes your content so special and relatable. Your viewers see you as a friend, and we appreciate the opportunity to get to know the real you, even if it's not the "perfectly curated content". It's what makes your content so meaningful and we are here because we genuinely enjoy connecting with you as a person, not just as an entertainer. It's what makes us feel like we're watching a friend rather than a distant influencer. 💖💖💖

  • @jenzyy73
    @jenzyy73 Před 11 měsíci +1

    That’s why I enjoy being here, the real and rawness of your channel. Thanks for being you! 💙

  • @user-mt1gb1dx5g
    @user-mt1gb1dx5g Před 11 měsíci +1

    Sarah ❤❤ I am a relatively new follower (within the past 5 months maybe) and I LOVE how you skilfully balance your content. You show your day to day, time with your friends (in a respectful way), you take us along for the ride on your adventures. And through it all I feel like I’m watching art, genuinely. The way you document everything through a nostalgic lens makes me feel so warm watching your content.
    I think you also balance being raw/ having a conversation with us and being private really really well. I never feel like you’re not being genuine.
    Life transitions are so complex. You can feel happy and sad all at once.
    Keep doing what you’re doing and remember to be kind to yourself because you’re doing something great.

    I don’t comment often, but I discovered your channel when I was living in Victoria and I really just found you to be a breath of fresh air! You are very genuine and create such a lovely aesthetic in your videos - sending positive energy to you! Your style and the way you carry yourself is unmatched 😘

    If you really hate your kitchen back splash, you can always buy stick-on tiles and do a little DIY! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with moving changes. It's like I'm so excited but then completely overwhelmed. It gets better! Congrats on y'all's place

    I'm from the pnw and live far from home now and your videos make me feel so cozy and remind me of home. I've never left a youtube comment before but wanted to make sure you know that you're spreading so much joy and comfort :) I'm so happy to be here & happy you're here too

  • @SeaofMonsters311

    I recently moved into my first apartment, and I thought about you during this process! To me, you’ve been a realistic inspiration here on CZcams! I’ve been watching you through your journey, and you usually give me a lot of hope that life can work out even after a ton of hardships!

    • @graymatsen
      @graymatsen  Před 11 měsíci +1

      ah congratulations! I'm happy to hear that my videos give that to you

  • @lizzygerichhausen4693

    Girl take it easy. Moving is so stressfull and moving in with someone is quite a big deal. Thank you for being so honest. You are doing such a good job, dont doubt yourself. Big hug xxx ❤️

  • @tristanheighington9623
    @tristanheighington9623 Před 10 měsíci

    You are truly a breath of fresh air. Your genuineness and outlook on life makes me feel connected to and inspired by you. And I actually love hearing more about your work life !!
    Transitions are tough, but you’ll see it through - change is the catalyst for growth :-)

  • @kelsey3824
    @kelsey3824 Před 11 měsíci +3

    I appreciate this type of vlog though! Sometimes it feels like I live in a parallel universe where a lot of things aren’t great and I’m just watching others succeed and cheering them on. I’m here for you coming to this space to talk about the murkier or tougher climbs of it and life in general. Just rounds it out even more. I’m in yet another transitional period too. So is the eternity of life huh? Haha ❤❤ hugs

  • @Rae_of_sunshine98
    @Rae_of_sunshine98 Před 11 měsíci

    Moving is a huge life change. It actually places on the Holmes and Rahe’s scale of most stressful life events. Even when an event can be exciting it’s also okay and normal for it to bring grief & stress too.
    Wishing you all the best through this season ❤

  • @nikihgye
    @nikihgye Před 11 měsíci +1

    Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for being so vulnarable. I honestly feel like there is no other person on CZcams that inspires me more as a person than you. I have been going through kind of similar stuff as you and my biggest comfort is watching and rewatching your videos. So I just wanted to let you know that whatever you do means a lot to many people. Hearing about your doubts and worries makes me even more connected to your content. (Also it's not relevant to this but I'm also Hungarian. :) )

  • @celeenpalm8711
    @celeenpalm8711 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I had a similar childhood, moving around a bit etc. I know exactlyyy how you feel. I just moved in with my partner in July and it’s been an adventure. Definitely didn’t anticipate some of the emotions around it, especially after living in the same place for 5 years before I moved. As a Leo, my independence was a huge part of my identity. Finding a middle ground has been a feat, but it’s rewarding! So happy for you and glad you found a great partner that’s worth the leap! It’s going to be amazing ✨

  • @ThinkTooMuch
    @ThinkTooMuch Před 11 měsíci +2

    I appreciate hearing about the work stuff, even if your job is CZcams! I’m around the same age as you are and just went through/am still going through a bit of a quarterlife crisis, and I’ve watched a lot of my friends experience the same thing. Also doing YT full time means you have all sorts of interesting insights for folks who freelance or manage their own business-I’d personally love to hear more about it 💛

  • @shelbyasantillan
    @shelbyasantillan Před 11 měsíci

    I love how open and honest you are with your current season. It’s totally normal and valid to be feeling all those mixed emotions - but you DO sound grateful and present. Good on you, girly! Wishing you all the best ❤

  • @nadiathew9889

    I do understand how you feel about your new place i did just moved out 3 months ago from the apartment that I lived in for 7 years and as you said it really felt like break up but believe me it gets better, I hope your new chapter full of success and happiness 💞

    @hilmabengtsdotter9817 Před 11 měsíci

    I really resonate with what you said about being adaptable and what that does to emotions being expressed/not expressed. But so excited for you! And you are still a very independent person I think, that is also a skill - not something a situation (like living with a partner) will change. It will probably always be a quality of yours. Best xx.

  • @ritaamor283
    @ritaamor283 Před 11 měsíci

    I find it curious that you would think we don’t want you to talk about your job...I think it is actually the opposite. We want to hear more, the contents creators I enjoy are usually very open about what it is like. The no work days, the super busy days, the ways brands approach, when it is nice, when is not, etc. Even if we are not in the industry, a lot of us right have modern schedules, are freelancers etc and can relate to a lot you talk about, and people who do have a 9-5 do appreciate the sneak peak. Also, you are grieving an era of your single life that ends. There are a lot of figuring out when moving in with someone. People romanticize it, but IT’S HARD. Problems will arise and solutions also. For example, I work from home, but from my experience if I am living with someone, I can’t, I need a space outside the house. Virginia Wolf wrote the great book, which I don’t recall the name in English right now because I read it in Portuguese, but I think it is something like “a room to call her own”. A creative needs a space for herself, every woman needs it. Maybe what is stressing you is not the moving and the change, that you really want, but the fact that that changes the fact that you had a place of your own to work...anyway, maybe it doesn’t apply to you, I am just sharing my experience...❤
