A few years back I got a very good tip from my therapist to help me make a decision: When you are alone and nobody disturbs you, take two chairs and place them right next to each other. One chair is going to represent you in 6 months when you have made the decision that you will stay in Canada and with your ex and the other chair represents you in 6 months when you have made the decision to go back to Italy. Sit in each chair for as long as you need to to just imagine your life and notice the feelings it gives you. This helped me so much, I hope it helps you too :)
Oh that's a great advice ! I also have trouble to take life decisions (and also small meaningless decisions) and I will definitely try that next time I'll be facing a big dilemma.
i wanted to really thank you because your advice was super helpful. i am struggling with school right now. long story short, i started art school because i really enjoy painting and everyone was always telling me how talented i was. i also really like travelling but i gave up on the idea of studying tourism. i started art school a couple of weeks ago and i hate it. i like painting as a hobby but the pressure of school is ruining it for me. so now i am split between continuing art school in hope that it gets better or drop out and study tourism instead. your advice really helped, i imagined me in 6 months in either situation and i think i now what is best for me now.
Great advice! Another therapist and a chair tip I heard was to sit in one chair and imagine on the other chair your (potentially abusive) "bad" family member/person you who hurt you and giving it to them or just to say anything you'd ever wanted to get off your chest. The therapist said it was important always to do that with an empty chair because having the real person sit there would probably just lead to more trauma and fighting 😅 makes sense, unfortunately.
That’s amazing advice I’m currently trying to choose what I want to do for the rest of my life One path is easier but the other is what I see myself doing for years to come
We’re here not only for food. I came for food, but when you started talking about your life and sharing things with us, it’s something else. Please do not close up, it’s comforting to know that people you like are going through some shit too, it kinda helps to feel less lonely.
omg yes THIS THIS THIS!!! im not here only for food too. love to watch your everyday life, your thoughts, your opinions, places you go, things you love, i mean… im here for everything, rosie ❤
I moved out to OR to be with my sister and aging parents as they begin making some life changes. It's been really hard. My parents are, unexpectedly, much more independent than I imagined, I've gotten a lot of injuries & illnesses, my mental health is really pretty bad--deep depression. I've been here a year, away from my bf and everything I love in KY. Now it seems with the turn of the seasons I'm beginning to imagine whole new life paths for myself once/if I get back. The struggle is real but the goal is 100!
Any decision you make regarding your relationships is never going to ruin your life and leave you unrecoverable. You have the strength and power to overcome anything! Relationships are about bonding with others around you-- but relationships also teach you about YOU! No matter what happens, you become a wiser and more improved version of yourself as time goes by.
I'm no expert, but when you said "Move back home." I think you answered your own question. As far as the relationship, you can never go back, it's never the same. You deserve to be properly happy.
Thissss. Like of course it s none of our business but i just dont feel the options are "go back with the ex or die alone" you can be single and not be miserable. I just hope she wont make a choice out of fear but desire, y´know (even tho of course we all choose out of fear sometimes).
Moving back home doesn’t need to mean move back to your parents home. I sense you have a very Dominant mother which is hard after being on your own for a while. Buy or rent a place close by but not too close. Enjoy your life close to your family, grandparents but don’t be the little girl you sometimes portray and be the kind, independent woman you really are.
When my ex and I broke up I had the same thought as you, “I’ll never have the same close bond that I did with him with another person.” We ended up getting back together but it wasn’t the same and it only got worse. We ended up breaking up again and 2 years later I met my current husband! We dated for 4 years and just recently got married. Never broke up once and he has never doubted our relationship like my ex did. You will find someone Rosie, even if it’s not the next guy you meet. Life has a way of showing you.
If your ex is the person for you, you will find each other again when the time is right. In 2015, I moved 1500 miles away from my ex after struggling with the end of our 7 year relationship. We stayed friends but lived our separate lives: we both went to graduate school, dated other people, went to therapy etc. In 2018, we reconnected romantically. And in 2020, I moved back to my hometown to be close to him. I have zero regrets and we’re both so happy together and so grateful for the journeys we took separately that lead us back to each other. Wishing you all the best Rosie ❤
You should start an Italian cooking channel!! Cooking recipes, real Italian recipes that your gran and family make. Sourcing the proper ingredients and letting the viewers know how to get these ingredients to then step by step making the dishes. Your own cooking show!!!
I am 1000% agree, this is 1st time I see you cooking, and I love it. And I love to try your recipe!! (can you give us the recipe??). And thank you Rosie for telling your story:):):)
The fact you said 'move back home' - aka 'home' - don't ever take for granted that you have a home, & how that feels. I will say: you need your own place & space - if you had that: your own home in Italy, your sanctuary: would you hesitate? You can make that happen. & there's a reason people break up - it doesn't work. It's hard, but it's much more difficult to look back & see wrong decisions.........don't settle - make your dreams come true: you got the talent, the smarts & the youth to do so.....
Your biggest charm is how sincere you are, Rosie. Love to hear your honest thoughts i hope you make whatever choice out of joy and excitement; not fear.
Mi sono trovato quasi nella stessa situazione della tua Rosie. Vivevo a San Francisco e ho fatto la scelta di tornare in Italia, sono molto felice di averlo fatto. Essendo della Puglia non mi riconoscevo nella cultura americana. Il vero cibo Italiano mi mancava da morire ma non solo, il sole, il mare nostro, la gente e soprattutto l'architectura e la cultura. Questa esperienza mi ha fatto capire quanto e bellissimo il nostro paese. Adesso so, che voglio vivere in Puglia, ma faccio viaggi perchè mi piace a scoprire il mondo. Solo te hai la risposta e si trova nel tuo❤. Un abbraccio grandissimo 🤗 Adoro il tuo canale con una preferenza per i tuoi video del sud Italia❤🥰🟩⬜🟥
@@Aurora-qn2dx Dipende di ciascuno, io vivo in Puglia è ho un buon stipendio perchè mi sono creato il mio lavoro. Lavoro online. Dipende come ti organizzi, secondo alla mia esperienza ti può trovare ovunque e fare che la tua vita sia gradevole. Perchè credi che in regno uniti o in Australia la vita e tutta rose e fiori? Siamo responsabili delle nostre scelte ma anche di come vogliamo vediamo il bicchiere mezzo vuoto o mezzo pieno. Sperò che troverai la felicità ma anche il piacere di apprezzare la tua vita ❤
I lived 12 years in USA, i love USA but is not for me medicine, private health insurance so expensive, working like 60 hours a week or more , i live in pescara maybe I'll not Rich but I'm happy 😊 my city is like my big house the people's like my family is not a big city but have everything.
I am from Greece, I'm learning Italian and I am so happy that I understood what you wrote without translation ! I looove your culture that's why I love Rosie. I am bored of typical American youtubers, I want to see authentic people.
Always a good day when the Italian girl uploads a video, something special for halloween. Fettuccine Alfredo is scary for Italians, waiting for a Carlos and Sarah crossover.
It sounds to me like the only reason why you are considering staying in Canada is because of your ex, and the main reason for not leaving your ex is because of all the time and love invested in that relationship. In your position I would try and focus on where I feel the happiest with myself (even if alone) and ponder over why exactly the relationship ended and if you really love him as more than just a friend and for more than just the good memories you have with him. Also, keep in mind no decision is ever perfect, you always have to give up on something/ make some sacrifices in order to get to a better place for yourself. Tbh I always do a pros/ cons list and then go from there. Good luck!
I feel like you should be in Italy with your family. Never do anything for a man, at 37 years old that has been my experience. You broke up for a reason so your answer is there.
I'm second gen Italian-Canadian and people are always so surprised when I tell them spaghetti and meatballs isn't traditionally Italian. Like you said, there are probably Italians in Italy who do eat this but usually polpette (meatballs) are served on the side with other meats. My Nonna always served polpette with rigatoni, not spaghetti.
@@Misticaraissa lol that doesn't mean anything, what lets you know that's actually their last name? And even if it is, she could have gained the last name from another parent that isn't italian. And that doesn't make them less italian in any way; they were just given a different name🤷🏻♀️get a life and take care xx
I would suggest breaking down the decision in 2 steps:First decide where you want to live irrespective of anyone else including your family and you ex and then when you’ve made that decision see if the ex compliments your life and your plans ahead because at the end of the day all of us have to learn to be a little selfish and focus on what we want and ofc the added benefit is finding people who enrich our plans or make them better! There’s no way of knowing who’ll stay and who’ll go you’re with you that’s the only fact 😊
I love your Italian food vlogs, but I subscribed to the totally vunerable chats about life, so refreshing. You got this! Time is never wasted, because you get to experience every day no matter how boring it feels.
How much I relate to the indecisiveness you're describing. There's this thing called decision fatigue that you get tired when you have to make lots of small insignificant desicions throughout the day and then you don't have the mental capacity for big desicions. Your content is so relatable. You are a very talented video creator and your authenticity is what sets you apart. Rosie, you definitely don't owe us any explanations regarding your life. Take all the time you need to decide and always remember you can change your mind and that's ok. Exploring options and changing direction takes a lot of courage. Good luck! And don't be silly, you have beautiful hands!
What we love is that you love eating - it's maybe sorta bizarre to enjoy watching someone enjoy eating so much, lol There ya go. Humans, for you. & yes, the Italy based videos - it's an entire education, for real. you are a smart gal - you let your audience guide you - there will be more, I've no doubt, in the future: but you're building a solid base. I'm really happy for you. & me, because I love your videos :)
Hi Rosie, I’m an Armenian girl from Los Angeles. Armenians/Italians are SO similar. I am also shy (I only have 1 video up from from many years ago for school)I just wanted to write you and share some of my thoughts. Relationships are hard, they are run by emotions. You should go to Italy, tell your family you need time to think and understand your decision…and really try to see you situation in Canada from your perspective while you are in Italy…then I think your decision may become more obvious. Do not fear what others (including your family) will think that you are taking long making a decision. You want to make sure it’s right so you can freely move on and continue your journey! Love does not only happen once; but if you find that he is the one…then even better.
@@vetiverose128 generally most Armenians dislike the association since they are so notorious for being obsessed with looks and materialism. For example, when people ask where I am from and I say I’m Armenian, the next comment is..”oh like the Kardashians!” And that to me…is depressing lol. Armenians also have very distinct features (white skin, long eyelashes (both men/women), thicker eyebrows, curvy bodies…and I dislike that these features got very popularized. If you notice one of the sisters Kylie Jenner is 0% Armenian, yet she looks just like Kim or most girls in Armenia that Kourtney/Kim’s/Rob’s look favor. Anyway, sorry to write such a long winded comment, but I do have a strong distaste for the Kardashians, because Armenians (for being such a small country) are known for creating many useful things such as the MRI machine that detects cancer today, concrete mixing trucks, first solar powered radio, first handheld hair dryer, and so much more in the fields of science! Also, Armenians all have “IAN/YAN” at the end of their last name, so you can always tell by looking at the end of a last name! Oh and the food! That’s a whole other story! Hope I have spread some useful info to you about Armenians OTHER THAN the Kardashians my friend. Peace from Los Angeles! ❤️
Don’t waste your time on what if’s. You’re young. If a man makes you doubt his affections for you, leave. If he’s just not sure about you, leave. So many women waste their time on men who aren’t sure. Don’t girl,
I love food and watching your food vlogs. I think I enjoy your vlogs not because of the food, but because I just enjoy watching your "day in a life" and you talking about your thoughts. The food ones just happen to be the ones you do that the most in where you explore places and take us along for the ride.
I love your videos and I'm wishing you the best :) I totally relate to being indecisive! whatever you choose to do just make sure your decision isn't being made by fear such as "never finding love again / dying alone". It's normal to feel that way after breakups (I've been there) but trust me it's not real. we never love the same way twice but that doesn't make your next love worse or less special
I've been in a 4 year relationship and had the same feelings of "its not going to go anywhere and knew it was over before saying it" Never go back to what hurt you and a relationship that feels not right. You deserve happiness.
A lot of Italians who emigrated outside of Italy had to make foods and combinations from what was available to them in their new country... thats why you don't see these foods in Italy..they are inspired by foods from the home country but they aren't authentic... I wish people would be kinder to those generations who want to pay homage to their roots
By the way, your channel will grow exponentially in Italy! Especially if you plan to focus your channel on food. Also, never rearrange your whole life because of a man. That never ends well.
Relationships are always hard when they end, but, if you spent a year waiting for one of you to end it then it probably isn't going to work out. Sometimes being by yourself and getting a change of scenery can help. Have you thought about moving somewhere else?
I recommend going back to Italy to live with your Nonna and learn all her recipes!! Getting to learn my grandmothers recipes when she was still around was the best thing I’ve ever been able to do!🧡(she was first generation Italian to America immigrant) You are so young and have so many opportunities in front of you! All that being said take a deep breath and do what feels best to you! I used to be so afraid of making the wrong decision like I would be missing out on something monumental, but now I’ve realized that’s just a part of life..making mistakes and learning from them and that’s okay✨ Sometimes the biggest “mistakes” end up bringing the greatest joys to you!! So be easy with yourself and just follow what brings you the most happiness!!!🌼
I feel you, I'm also the worst at taking decisions, and not regretting my choice afterwards. But I don't think there is such thing as a "waste of time" with relationships, whatever you choose. It always brings you something and makes you stronger and wiser. And more selective for the next ones... Good luck dear Rosie !
Hey, I don't mean to sound like I'm lecturing you and I only hope to give some insight from a person in a very similar situation to you. I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago. We were together for a few years, but the relationship wasn't working out, we weren't happy and it had grown stagnant. I am absolutely certain that the breakup had to happen for us both to realize what we were losing and to decide whether we cared more about certain things or each other. We reconciled a few weeks ago. We didn't talk for those few months, and we had both been with other people, but the moment we saw each other, we knew there was still so much love and care for each other. I knew I needed him in my life, and he felt the same. To be fair, at first I felt the same, right after the breakup. Will I find anyone else, should I just go back to him because he was the safest option? On the other hand, if he really cared about me, why would we have the issues we had in the relationship? In the end, I realized that we had both taken each other for granted, because we grew too comfortable and kind of thought we would just forever be in each other's lives. The moment where we no longer knew whether we'd ever see the other person again, and the moment we actually both realized what we had lost, was the moment where we decided that no other issue was more important to us than making it work. The point is, we decided to get back together, not out of fear or familiarity, not because we were scared to end up alone - but because we decided we needed each other and we were ready to work it out. So, try to look at it that way. Do you want your ex in your life because you know he's a safe option, because you're scared of the unknown and opening up to new people, scared to be hurt again? Or do you want him back in your life because of him, because you are ready to work everything out just to be able to be happy together? It's normal, sadly, to take people for granted. If he's ready to work on his mistakes, if he genuinely regrets the wrongdoings he might've caused, and you know he is the person for you, I say go for it. But, if you think you're both just scared of facing the pain and the fear that comes with a breakup, I suggest taking more time away and seeing how you really feel after a while. Take care, and I wish you all the best! Unfortunately, you can never be prepared for such things in life, even when you think you've had enough of time to brace yourself for it. Sending you lots of love!
Ciao Rosie, anche io fino a poco tempo fa ero convinta che le fettuccine Alfredo non fossero italiane. Ho poi scoperto che sarebbero l'equivalente delle fettuccine burro e parmigiano che in Italia sono diventate famose negli anni 20 grazie al ristoratore Alfredo Di Lelio. Poi sono state modificate in America con aggiunta di panna, pollo, broccoli e tanto altro. A Roma c'è un ristorante che propone la ricetta originale
The main thing I've learned from relationships: The only people that know their relationship are the people that are in it themselves. Basically if we were friends and you were going through this with your boyfriend I would say "I'm not sure (of what decision to make) because I'm not in your relationship, only you two know what to do". People can give you advice and opinions all day but nobody really knows your dynamic with your partner. However you feel when you're alone with that person that's all yours. You'll figure out what to do with it. 😉👍 And yeah chicken alfredo is nasty! LOL
thank you so much for your videos . I really relate to them on a personal level especially your struggles and it makes me feel more normal and that it’s okay to have these struggles
Having struggles is a part of being human! It’s what helps us grow. Every single person has them, whether you can tell or not. You’re perfectly normal!
Fettuccine Alfredo is very much an Italian thing. There’s a restaurant called alfredo alla scrofa in Rome. The founder was the man that invented it for his wife. It is served exclusively at that establishment. So just a correction, Fettuccine Alfredo IS an Italian thing and an institution, in fact.
I love every video you post!!! 🌸If you ever visit Mexico or California, would be lovely for you to try some authentic Mexican food! Italian & Mexican culture feels so similar. Especially when it comes to family and food 😊
i moved on from a relationship after 3 years. i know how you feel and the best advice is to do what u really feel deep down, for example like u said you’re not sure about u growing that bond again. that’s ur first sign if he was the one you would definitely get it back. You are right when you said u want someone who wouldn’t put themselves in a position to lose you because it’s very true. you’re young and beautiful you will meet many other guys in your lifetime. but always do what your heart feels ❤
It is obvius that you are so much happier in italy. Now with your ex boyfriend i think you should try live your life without thinking in beggining a relationship, just live and if you meet somebody that you liked a lot, give all of you for this new relationship, because i dont think you turn back with him will be good for you, will just stay at the same way you already been.
Yes! You don’t look happy there and going back with your ex who shouldn’t have let you go the first time if he really loved you. It’s okay that you want to keep your dating life in private. I hope you go back to Italy. Your ex is not the only guy left on earth. Give yourself a chance! You are young and pretty!
I think most Italian-American or Canadian food is what people from Italy came up with after moving to North America and not having access to the same ingredients. It’s authentic in its own way but not authentic to Italy.
U r too young to make decisions abt relationship.. Full maturity regarding this things come after 25.. settle with someone who takes care of u, honest character n most importantly can provide for u( if required)
That soup at the end looks really good - I was just craving soup with meatballs in it for some reason. Also that's totally understandable about keeping your relationships private! I tend to have a hard time with uncertainty and change so I appreciate you sharing about your flexibility around not moving and figuring out what's best for you
We come to see you! Your are so funny, sweet and interesting! You are a good cook like your Nona! It’s not just the food content! I have daughter that it 26… I would tell her not to share her dating life as well! 🙌🏻💕🇮🇹
my big brother use to day. .do it or get off the pot... when i lived with a guy for 3 years who would not propose !! i was miserable.. he was just a user so i left. it was the best decision ever...Freedom Self care. Growth. new friends i also think your sister needs you back home...
So Rosie, I just found your channel and I love it! You are a very good videographer and storyteller and I love the way you have included your heritage and your family in the stories you share with us. Here is some advice from a woman who is many times older than you… Never make any decision because of a man.They come and they go and you don't want to make serious decisions based on them because they change their minds a lot, especially when young. Also never accept a man back into your life if he cheated on you. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Continue to travel and visit different places while you are young. It expands the mind and it teaches you about life and people, which will help you be the best person you can be in the long run. Don't get married when you are too young and don't do intimate things with too many people. I think people should understand that giving your body to them is a gift... which is why many people reserve it for marriage. But long story short, do not offer the most precious gift that you have to too many people ...because it will become less precious to you and to them. You are a beautiful, well spoken, charming young woman ...and you will not die alone, unless that is what you choose to do, lol! Well! Don't rush into marriage or children because that is a life changing set of decisions and you need to be ready for it and with a husband who is ready, too. Last but not least...Always stop at the first sign of yellow light and don't drive so fast that you cant!!! I imagine great things happening to you in the future... you are breath of fresh air and a gem! I wish all the best to you and I am subscribing!
Rosie, youre endearing to watch so seeing you try food is fun because your expressions are sincere. I think thats why people like to watch those type of videos. As for Italian American, or Chinese American, or any other type of ethnic food made here, what people have to understand is that when waves of immigrants first came here decades ago, grocery store shelves werent like they are today. Many ingredients that you would use in the home country just werent available in Canada or the US so immigrants got creative and used what they had on hand which evolved into a whole new type of cuisine. It may not be "authentic" to someone raised in Italy, China, Greece, etc..but you arent in Italy, China, Greece, youre in Canada. 🙂
Carnival means "carnem levare" or "remove meat" in latin and early italian. It's very common in those countries were christian religion is prevalent (both catholic and reformed), especially in Western Europe.
Can you guys take a hint she doesn’t want advice even though it’s nice and all it confuses people when thousands are saying different things but anyway Rosie love the vids! And Italian dressing is wack af
here in Spain instead of the Befana the Three wise mages from the bible comes to our house and leave us presents or coal too, it's so cool knowing about how other countries celebrate the same things
hey Rosie, i have the exact same problem as you, i'm a very indecisive person, so i know how hard it must be to take a decision. But i'll just share my experience with you maybe it will help, my ex and i had a very boring relationship, he treated me bad and didn't give me attention, he would stop talking to me for days and then come back, and when he'd disappear i tell myself i'll never talk to him again but i always take him back, and all this time i kept telling myself that it's okey and that one day our relationship will become great and that even though he doesn't show it he really loves me, until the day he stopped talking to me for good without even saying anything, and thank god he did that!!! Because i would have never had the courage to do it and would still be in a miserable relationship. Now i'm in a 2 years relationship with the most caring, loving, affectionate, sweet guy ever, we barely fight, he always apologizes if he answers a bit like ( which is like 2 hours to him) and I've never filled more thriving in my life. The point is, please DON't SETTLE, don't try to fix something that doesn't bring you joy just because you are used to it, if i have an advice to give you it's to move on and find someone that loves you with all his heart, go and experience things and don't limit yourself.
I don’t know if this is going to help anyone, but being indecisive is very often the effect of putting too much pressure on yourself, of being a perfectionist with your own life. So what works for me (cause I struggle with The same issue) is that I slowly allow myself to make decisions that can turn out to be mistakes because The truth is you are not supposed to “know” everything, you are supposed to experience your own life and figure it out on the way.
Your nails look great! And life is hard, only you know if your treated how you should be! Never let anyone tell you different. We all deserve a man that treats us as #1 in their life. If not then your beautiful and young and you will find that love. Even if it takes 3 romances. Good luck beautiful… from Tennessee
You remind me of my youngest sister and one of my closest friends who I look up to. They both have the same personality trait that you have where they take FOREVER to make decisions. The thing is, while they get all kinds of advice from everyone, it doesn't help them narrow anything down. What they really need to do, is surrender to their process and take whatever time they need to make up their own mind. My friend is someone I respect SO much. When she makes decisions, they are wise. And usually it's fine if it takes forever for her to decide. Where is the rush anyway? Life rarely sends us options where one choice is genuinely wrong and the other is genuinely right. More frequently decisions are just choices betweeen a certain kind of fruit. Maybe you pick one orange and it's super sweet, but you find a bruised spot. It doesn't mean you picked the wrong orange. Who knows, the other orange might have been totally sour. Or dry. Be good to yourself. Think about what YOU want most. You only have you to advocate for what you want in this life. It's not selfish to be on your own side, it's human. And honestly, you seem like a good person with a good heart. You've made good choices so far, so keep trusting your instincts.
I am surprised to discover that these foods are not really Italian or eaten by Italians. It's funny because in Brazil we have a lot of Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken lovers. And guess what? A CHICKEN flavor pizza. And it's one of the most popular around here. I love chicken pizza! 😄
Girl, do not fall into this trap. The Sunk Cost Fallacy describes our tendency to follow through on an endeavor if we have already invested time, effort, or money into it, whether or not the current costs outweigh the benefits
Since you don't want relationship advice, I'll spare you. But I can totally help you decide between Canada and Italy. Neither is your best answer, winter is coming and its time to go south because Canada is a frozen wasteland in winter and you need new horizons to heal and expand in. Going back to Italy will have you missing your time in Canada and wondering if it was all a waste of time. A new place is your best bet and the USA is million times better than Canada and you will have endless wacky Italian and other food options to pass judgement on. Your welcome. And best wishes!!!
I've been here from the start. :) Cultural differences are so interesting. In my experience, as a (Mexican) Italian-American from the Midwest, my family & most Italian-Americans I've EVER met, are not very close to our culture, beyond the Ianguage & Americanized food, so seeing your prospective in your food videos is so attractive to me. While watching your videos, I enjoy your personality as well, so don't pidgeon-hole yourself into anything you're not passionate about. I can't wait to see what direction(s) your channel will go thru! 💜
I love your videos Rosie,you are very talented..Will be praying for you with making decisions! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,lean not on your own understanding,acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path! Proverbs 3:5,6..Smile Jesus loves you!😊💕
Second comment but... In Greece we also have the "carnival" in February instead of Halloween in October. And we also don't dress as scary stuff. I guess this is due to the fact that we are neighbours 😅
Rosie, baby, you're in your 20s. Plenty of time to make all kinds of mistakes. Just try not to repeat them, but only if you're really sure it was a mistakes. Otherwise - don't overthink it. Nobody controls her or his life. Shit happens. The only thing you can control is how you react to it. Do what feels right at the moment. Of course you'll make mistakes. So what?
I love the "getting my nails done for the first time in my life" part. I do not know why I just love it it's so precious. maybe I should go get mine done for the first time too
Move back to Italy, nothing like living in Europe, you'll meet a great guy here but you'll be in your hometown with your family. A random guy u met at 24 at a foreign country that you already broke up with is not going to be the love of your life, trust me
Those curtain bangs look so good on you❤ you are so beautiful. Do whatever makes you happy, we all have a one life so let’s not spend it being sad when we have a option to be happy! Also I can relate to being that indecisive person😅
life and relationships are created for pleasure and clarity, for reduce problems rather than increase them , for helpin each other if it is not there and everything is complicated, then this is not life and not a relationship. (20 years married).
I truly appreciate you mentioned that your dating life must be kept private. I understand the growing personal pains you need someone to talk to or share with, but once many RUclipsrs or media personalities publicize their personal lives including dating, the audiences will certainly be more invested to it and there’s no turning. Stay strong and know us audiences are on your back. Ciao bella!
I'm not an expert and I have very little insight into your relationship, but I personally think you should move to Italy and try it out there. Maybe try long distance. You don't need to "pull the bandaid off" and never talk to him again. You can still stay in touch, but I don't think you're 100% happy in Canada with him. I think you're just living in the moment with him now
I know your content is very girly girl but I being a boy really like watching you and watching you talk about your relationship knowing how vulnerable that shit is, makes me respect you more.
Your hands look fine and those nails look great on you, I promise nobody else but you thinks your hands are big. I used to feel the same but I found that when I got my nails done nobody was looking at my hands..but my pretty nails!
It also depends on where you order food from..those little place you picked up your lunch from isn't any where a real Italian would ever eat. I'm 100% Italian and no thank you on eating Italian food out unless it's a Michelan Star restaurant..if not, I just make my own food or go eat at my Mom's.... bottled dressing...disgusting...always make from scratch when you can...it's common sense! And Rosie...you are so young...it's rare to find your forever love at such a young age...go with your heart...there's a reason your ex is in your life and wants you back..maybe HE'S your rare forever love...relationships take a lot of work...my forever love happened when I was in my 30's!! 2 teenagers and 22 years later...it's Fantastic!! I love your videos Sweetheart...xo
RUclips pasta grannies lorighetti pasta. And in that video at the end they paired the pasta with a WHOLE PIECE of CHICKEN. So never said never. And in Teramo they have spaghetti alla chittera con palottine( MEATBALLS). And both videos from pasta grannies are from ITALIA.
Omg I can relate sooo much with you about making life decisions. I am having to make very similar decisions right now. Being in our twenties and being confronted with all of these seemingly definite paths that we have to choose right now is really hard. I feel for you and can only say that reminding ourselves that nothing is as definite as it seems really takes some weight off of these decisions. And making wrong decisions is also ok and part of the process. The most important thing is to be kind, understanding and patient towards ourselves. And all will be well :)
Best advice I can give who is recently out of a relationship of 8 years and a marriage of 5 years. If it's meant to be, it will happen. Don't try to force it, you only end up hurting yourself more in the process.
You are so young and there are truly a lot of beautiful men out there. I love your channel, it reduces my anxiety. I relate to you a lot. Sometimes it's good to be single for a while too.
I know you post a lot of food but my favorite videos are your travel vlogs :) I know they’re mostly based around food but I look at it more as watching Italian culture or watching a vlog 💗
O realshionship..My comment is like a buthole we all have one.. sooooo yes HOME IS THE BEST PLACE. FAMILY is the best. MEN come and go FAMILY IS forever.
I think you should try therapy.. the indecisiveness can be just a symptom coming out of something else. and for sure you can feel better because you will learn tools how to manage it.
I completely understand what you mean about relationships being complicated. My first and only relationship started 2 months before my 18th bday; the first 5-6 years were very tumultuous and full of heartbreak (for me lol), now I’m 39 yrs old and we are still in love and still together in a much healthier, happier, mature situation. I’m not saying you should/shouldn’t stay, I’m just saying I’m an example of it being possible to “work out”
Fettuccine Alfredo was named after the Italian-American chef who invented it. His name was Alfredo and I believe he worked for a restaurant in either Chicago or New York

Did you ever take a💩💩so big it clogged up your 🚽🚽🤔🤔
Well Rosie, I guess you do have to accept that this is a food channel...Yet it is a Beautiful one indeed. Because of you sweetie. #WINK
Darn I literally just ordered native this morning before i watched this 🤦♀
She's got a huge problem with me she never replied back to my comments
A few years back I got a very good tip from my therapist to help me make a decision: When you are alone and nobody disturbs you, take two chairs and place them right next to each other. One chair is going to represent you in 6 months when you have made the decision that you will stay in Canada and with your ex and the other chair represents you in 6 months when you have made the decision to go back to Italy. Sit in each chair for as long as you need to to just imagine your life and notice the feelings it gives you. This helped me so much, I hope it helps you too :)
Oh that's a great advice ! I also have trouble to take life decisions (and also small meaningless decisions) and I will definitely try that next time I'll be facing a big dilemma.
Wow I will definitely be remembering that
i wanted to really thank you because your advice was super helpful. i am struggling with school right now. long story short, i started art school because i really enjoy painting and everyone was always telling me how talented i was. i also really like travelling but i gave up on the idea of studying tourism. i started art school a couple of weeks ago and i hate it. i like painting as a hobby but the pressure of school is ruining it for me. so now i am split between continuing art school in hope that it gets better or drop out and study tourism instead. your advice really helped, i imagined me in 6 months in either situation and i think i now what is best for me now.
Great advice! Another therapist and a chair tip I heard was to sit in one chair and imagine on the other chair your (potentially abusive) "bad" family member/person you who hurt you and giving it to them or just to say anything you'd ever wanted to get off your chest. The therapist said it was important always to do that with an empty chair because having the real person sit there would probably just lead to more trauma and fighting 😅 makes sense, unfortunately.
That’s amazing advice
I’m currently trying to choose what I want to do for the rest of my life
One path is easier but the other is what I see myself doing for years to come
We’re here not only for food. I came for food, but when you started talking about your life and sharing things with us, it’s something else. Please do not close up, it’s comforting to know that people you like are going through some shit too, it kinda helps to feel less lonely.
This comment!!!! Exactly how I feel.
omg yes THIS THIS THIS!!! im not here only for food too. love to watch your everyday life, your thoughts, your opinions, places you go, things you love, i mean… im here for everything, rosie ❤
exactly! i watch Rosie because I can relate to her
It helps ALOOTT to feel less lonely 😊😊😊
I moved out to OR to be with my sister and aging parents as they begin making some life changes. It's been really hard. My parents are, unexpectedly, much more independent than I imagined, I've gotten a lot of injuries & illnesses, my mental health is really pretty bad--deep depression.
I've been here a year, away from my bf and everything I love in KY. Now it seems with the turn of the seasons I'm beginning to imagine whole new life paths for myself once/if I get back. The struggle is real but the goal is 100!
Rosie you're so sincere, please don't hesitate on it, it's so rare to hear person tell the pure truth about their life
Any decision you make regarding your relationships is never going to ruin your life and leave you unrecoverable. You have the strength and power to overcome anything!
Relationships are about bonding with others around you-- but relationships also teach you about YOU! No matter what happens, you become a wiser and more improved version of yourself as time goes by.
Really wise.
I'm no expert, but when you said "Move back home." I think you answered your own question. As far as the relationship, you can never go back, it's never the same. You deserve to be properly happy.
Thissss. Like of course it s none of our business but i just dont feel the options are "go back with the ex or die alone" you can be single and not be miserable. I just hope she wont make a choice out of fear but desire, y´know (even tho of course we all choose out of fear sometimes).
I totally agree with this!
AGREED
Moving back home doesn’t need to mean move back to your parents home. I sense you have a very Dominant mother which is hard after being on your own for a while. Buy or rent a place close by but not too close. Enjoy your life close to your family, grandparents but don’t be the little girl you sometimes portray and be the kind, independent woman you really are.
Yes, this, 100x this.
Please dont feel obligated to talk about your relationship! we watch your videos because of you.:)
We are here for Rosie 🥺❤️
...I must say, tho, I'm getting a ton out of the relationship bits.
When my ex and I broke up I had the same thought as you, “I’ll never have the same close bond that I did with him with another person.” We ended up getting back together but it wasn’t the same and it only got worse. We ended up breaking up again and 2 years later I met my current husband! We dated for 4 years and just recently got married. Never broke up once and he has never doubted our relationship like my ex did. You will find someone Rosie, even if it’s not the next guy you meet. Life has a way of showing you.
If your ex is the person for you, you will find each other again when the time is right. In 2015, I moved 1500 miles away from my ex after struggling with the end of our 7 year relationship. We stayed friends but lived our separate lives: we both went to graduate school, dated other people, went to therapy etc. In 2018, we reconnected romantically. And in 2020, I moved back to my hometown to be close to him. I have zero regrets and we’re both so happy together and so grateful for the journeys we took separately that lead us back to each other. Wishing you all the best Rosie ❤
That's awesome 🙏
Something similar has happened with me too ❤️
You should start an Italian cooking channel!! Cooking recipes, real Italian recipes that your gran and family make. Sourcing the proper ingredients and letting the viewers know how to get these ingredients to then step by step making the dishes. Your own cooking show!!!
yes, that would be interesting
I would like this too
You should watch the pasta grammar and Vincenzo's plate channels then, you'd love them!
I am 1000% agree, this is 1st time I see you cooking, and I love it. And I love to try your recipe!! (can you give us the recipe??). And thank you Rosie for telling your story:):):)
Absolutely! That is such a great idea!!! 😍
The fact you said 'move back home' - aka 'home' - don't ever take for granted that you have a home, & how that feels.
I will say: you need your own place & space - if you had that: your own home in Italy, your sanctuary: would you hesitate?
You can make that happen.
& there's a reason people break up - it doesn't work.
It's hard, but it's much more difficult to look back & see wrong decisions.........don't settle - make your dreams come true: you got the talent, the smarts & the youth to do so.....
Your biggest charm is how sincere you are, Rosie. Love to hear your honest thoughts i hope you make whatever choice out of joy and excitement; not fear.
Mi sono trovato quasi nella stessa situazione della tua Rosie. Vivevo a San Francisco e ho fatto la scelta di tornare in Italia, sono molto felice di averlo fatto. Essendo della Puglia non mi riconoscevo nella cultura americana. Il vero cibo Italiano mi mancava da morire ma non solo, il sole, il mare nostro, la gente e soprattutto l'architectura e la cultura. Questa esperienza mi ha fatto capire quanto e bellissimo il nostro paese. Adesso so, che voglio vivere in Puglia, ma faccio viaggi perchè mi piace a scoprire il mondo. Solo te hai la risposta e si trova nel tuo❤. Un abbraccio grandissimo 🤗 Adoro il tuo canale con una preferenza per i tuoi video del sud Italia❤🥰🟩⬜🟥
Viva il Sud!! :) (Sono una napoletana in America e concordo con le cose che hai detto)
Si
@@Aurora-qn2dx Dipende di ciascuno, io vivo in Puglia è ho un buon stipendio perchè mi sono creato il mio lavoro. Lavoro online. Dipende come ti organizzi, secondo alla mia esperienza ti può trovare ovunque e fare che la tua vita sia gradevole. Perchè credi che in regno uniti o in Australia la vita e tutta rose e fiori? Siamo responsabili delle nostre scelte ma anche di come vogliamo vediamo il bicchiere mezzo vuoto o mezzo pieno. Sperò che troverai la felicità ma anche il piacere di apprezzare la tua vita ❤
I lived 12 years in USA, i love USA but is not for me medicine, private health insurance so expensive, working like 60 hours a week or more , i live in pescara maybe I'll not Rich but I'm happy 😊 my city is like my big house the people's like my family is not a big city but have everything.
I am from Greece, I'm learning Italian and I am so happy that I understood what you wrote without translation !
I looove your culture that's why I love Rosie.
I am bored of typical American youtubers, I want to see authentic people.
Rosie, we totally support your decision. It seems like fear is holding you back. You’re making tough decisions. Trust yourself ❤️❤️❤️
Always a good day when the Italian girl uploads a video, something special for halloween. Fettuccine Alfredo is scary for Italians, waiting for a Carlos and Sarah crossover.
Is it actually happening??? Lol
It sounds to me like the only reason why you are considering staying in Canada is because of your ex, and the main reason for not leaving your ex is because of all the time and love invested in that relationship. In your position I would try and focus on where I feel the happiest with myself (even if alone) and ponder over why exactly the relationship ended and if you really love him as more than just a friend and for more than just the good memories you have with him. Also, keep in mind no decision is ever perfect, you always have to give up on something/ make some sacrifices in order to get to a better place for yourself. Tbh I always do a pros/ cons list and then go from there. Good luck!
"this is exactly what a non authentic Italian restaurant looks like: flags and the word "mamma" used everywhere" 4:24 I'm dying🤣 SOOOOO TRUE!!!
Americans actually do the same with My mexican food: súper stereotypical and nothing The same with authentic mexican food.
to be fair it _is_ authentic but it's authentic italian-american _not_ italian. it's just redundant to constantly say "blank-american".
I feel like you should be in Italy with your family. Never do anything for a man, at 37 years old that has been my experience. You broke up for a reason so your answer is there.
Rosie thanks for being so open and transparent with us ❤️ i felt like i was listening to a friend, rather than watching a video. good luck to you
I'm second gen Italian-Canadian and people are always so surprised when I tell them spaghetti and meatballs isn't traditionally Italian. Like you said, there are probably Italians in Italy who do eat this but usually polpette (meatballs) are served on the side with other meats. My Nonna always served polpette with rigatoni, not spaghetti.
Yes same here
@@Italiangirlnj747 your lastname doesn't sound italian not even latin at all.
@@Misticaraissa lol that doesn't mean anything, what lets you know that's actually their last name? And even if it is, she could have gained the last name from another parent that isn't italian. And that doesn't make them less italian in any way; they were just given a different name🤷🏻♀️get a life and take care xx
How do you even know that her real name? 😂
@@Misticaraissa 🤡
I would suggest breaking down the decision in 2 steps:First decide where you want to live irrespective of anyone else including your family and you ex and then when you’ve made that decision see if the ex compliments your life and your plans ahead because at the end of the day all of us have to learn to be a little selfish and focus on what we want and ofc the added benefit is finding people who enrich our plans or make them better! There’s no way of knowing who’ll stay and who’ll go you’re with you that’s the only fact 😊
Don’t go back to your ex don’t waste your youth been there done that not worth it
Same. It isn't worth it. If you had doubts before then its probably a bad idea to go back to them.
I love your Italian food vlogs, but I subscribed to the totally vunerable chats about life, so refreshing. You got this! Time is never wasted, because you get to experience every day no matter how boring it feels.
How much I relate to the indecisiveness you're describing. There's this thing called decision fatigue that you get tired when you have to make lots of small insignificant desicions throughout the day and then you don't have the mental capacity for big desicions.
Your content is so relatable. You are a very talented video creator and your authenticity is what sets you apart.
Rosie, you definitely don't owe us any explanations regarding your life.
Take all the time you need to decide and always remember you can change your mind and that's ok. Exploring options and changing direction takes a lot of courage. Good luck!
And don't be silly, you have beautiful hands!
What we love is that you love eating - it's maybe sorta bizarre to enjoy watching someone enjoy eating so much, lol
There ya go. Humans, for you.
& yes, the Italy based videos - it's an entire education, for real.
you are a smart gal - you let your audience guide you - there will be more, I've no doubt, in the future: but you're building a solid base.
I'm really happy for you.
& me, because I love your videos :)
Thanks for watching and showing love,Congratulations 🎉 🎁❤ you've won a prize!! Send me a text above to acknowledge your prize!!!!!
Seems like u made ur decision.r u guys back together?
Hi Rosie, I’m an Armenian girl from Los Angeles. Armenians/Italians are SO similar. I am also shy (I only have 1 video up from from many years ago for school)I just wanted to write you and share some of my thoughts. Relationships are hard, they are run by emotions. You should go to Italy, tell your family you need time to think and understand your decision…and really try to see you situation in Canada from your perspective while you are in Italy…then I think your decision may become more obvious. Do not fear what others (including your family) will think that you are taking long making a decision. You want to make sure it’s right so you can freely move on and continue your journey! Love does not only happen once; but if you find that he is the one…then even better.
do armenians like/watch the kardashians?
@@vetiverose128 generally most Armenians dislike the association since they are so notorious for being obsessed with looks and materialism. For example, when people ask where I am from and I say I’m Armenian, the next comment is..”oh like the Kardashians!” And that to me…is depressing lol. Armenians also have very distinct features (white skin, long eyelashes (both men/women), thicker eyebrows, curvy bodies…and I dislike that these features got very popularized. If you notice one of the sisters Kylie Jenner is 0% Armenian, yet she looks just like Kim or most girls in Armenia that Kourtney/Kim’s/Rob’s look favor. Anyway, sorry to write such a long winded comment, but I do have a strong distaste for the Kardashians, because Armenians (for being such a small country) are known for creating many useful things such as the MRI machine that detects cancer today, concrete mixing trucks, first solar powered radio, first handheld hair dryer, and so much more in the fields of science! Also, Armenians all have “IAN/YAN” at the end of their last name, so you can always tell by looking at the end of a last name! Oh and the food! That’s a whole other story! Hope I have spread some useful info to you about Armenians OTHER THAN the Kardashians my friend. Peace from Los Angeles! ❤️
Don’t waste your time on what if’s. You’re young. If a man makes you doubt his affections for you, leave. If he’s just not sure about you, leave. So many women waste their time on men who aren’t sure. Don’t girl,
I love food and watching your food vlogs. I think I enjoy your vlogs not because of the food, but because I just enjoy watching your "day in a life" and you talking about your thoughts. The food ones just happen to be the ones you do that the most in where you explore places and take us along for the ride.
I love your videos and I'm wishing you the best :) I totally relate to being indecisive! whatever you choose to do just make sure your decision isn't being made by fear such as "never finding love again / dying alone". It's normal to feel that way after breakups (I've been there) but trust me it's not real. we never love the same way twice but that doesn't make your next love worse or less special
What a lovely comment
I've been in a 4 year relationship and had the same feelings of "its not going to go anywhere and knew it was over before saying it" Never go back to what hurt you and a relationship that feels not right. You deserve happiness.
A lot of Italians who emigrated outside of Italy had to make foods and combinations from what was available to them in their new country... thats why you don't see these foods in Italy..they are inspired by foods from the home country but they aren't authentic... I wish people would be kinder to those generations who want to pay homage to their roots
The history of fettuccini Alfredo is quite sweet. Invented by a cook in Rome to feed his wife after giving birth to their first child.
By the way, your channel will grow exponentially in Italy! Especially if you plan to focus your channel on food. Also, never rearrange your whole life because of a man. That never ends well.
Relationships are always hard when they end, but, if you spent a year waiting for one of you to end it then it probably isn't going to work out. Sometimes being by yourself and getting a change of scenery can help. Have you thought about moving somewhere else?
You should make a series where you try foods/desserts from a different culture!
Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Millie bobby brown? Or is it just me 😅
I recommend going back to Italy to live with your Nonna and learn all her recipes!! Getting to learn my grandmothers recipes when she was still around was the best thing I’ve ever been able to do!🧡(she was first generation Italian to America immigrant) You are so young and have so many opportunities in front of you! All that being said take a deep breath and do what feels best to you! I used to be so afraid of making the wrong decision like I would be missing out on something monumental, but now I’ve realized that’s just a part of life..making mistakes and learning from them and that’s okay✨ Sometimes the biggest “mistakes” end up bringing the greatest joys to you!! So be easy with yourself and just follow what brings you the most happiness!!!🌼
Your channel is not just a food channel love 💓 We are here for you!
I feel you, I'm also the worst at taking decisions, and not regretting my choice afterwards. But I don't think there is such thing as a "waste of time" with relationships, whatever you choose. It always brings you something and makes you stronger and wiser. And more selective for the next ones... Good luck dear Rosie !
Hey, I don't mean to sound like I'm lecturing you and I only hope to give some insight from a person in a very similar situation to you.
I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago. We were together for a few years, but the relationship wasn't working out, we weren't happy and it had grown stagnant. I am absolutely certain that the breakup had to happen for us both to realize what we were losing and to decide whether we cared more about certain things or each other.
We reconciled a few weeks ago. We didn't talk for those few months, and we had both been with other people, but the moment we saw each other, we knew there was still so much love and care for each other. I knew I needed him in my life, and he felt the same.
To be fair, at first I felt the same, right after the breakup. Will I find anyone else, should I just go back to him because he was the safest option? On the other hand, if he really cared about me, why would we have the issues we had in the relationship? In the end, I realized that we had both taken each other for granted, because we grew too comfortable and kind of thought we would just forever be in each other's lives. The moment where we no longer knew whether we'd ever see the other person again, and the moment we actually both realized what we had lost, was the moment where we decided that no other issue was more important to us than making it work.
The point is, we decided to get back together, not out of fear or familiarity, not because we were scared to end up alone - but because we decided we needed each other and we were ready to work it out.
So, try to look at it that way. Do you want your ex in your life because you know he's a safe option, because you're scared of the unknown and opening up to new people, scared to be hurt again? Or do you want him back in your life because of him, because you are ready to work everything out just to be able to be happy together?
It's normal, sadly, to take people for granted. If he's ready to work on his mistakes, if he genuinely regrets the wrongdoings he might've caused, and you know he is the person for you, I say go for it. But, if you think you're both just scared of facing the pain and the fear that comes with a breakup, I suggest taking more time away and seeing how you really feel after a while.
Take care, and I wish you all the best! Unfortunately, you can never be prepared for such things in life, even when you think you've had enough of time to brace yourself for it. Sending you lots of love!
Ciao Rosie, anche io fino a poco tempo fa ero convinta che le fettuccine Alfredo non fossero italiane. Ho poi scoperto che sarebbero l'equivalente delle fettuccine burro e parmigiano che in Italia sono diventate famose negli anni 20 grazie al ristoratore Alfredo Di Lelio. Poi sono state modificate in America con aggiunta di panna, pollo, broccoli e tanto altro. A Roma c'è un ristorante che propone la ricetta originale
You are right!! Also you can eat different in the north of Italy vs the south of Italy.
The main thing I've learned from relationships:
The only people that know their relationship are the people that are in it themselves. Basically if we were friends and you were going through this with your boyfriend I would say "I'm not sure (of what decision to make) because I'm not in your relationship, only you two know what to do".
People can give you advice and opinions all day but nobody really knows your dynamic with your partner. However you feel when you're alone with that person that's all yours. You'll figure out what to do with it. 😉👍 And yeah chicken alfredo is nasty! LOL
thank you so much for your videos . I really relate to them on a personal level especially your struggles and it makes me feel more normal and that it’s okay to have these struggles
Having struggles is a part of being human! It’s what helps us grow. Every single person has them, whether you can tell or not. You’re perfectly normal!
Fettuccine Alfredo is very much an Italian thing. There’s a restaurant called alfredo alla scrofa in Rome. The founder was the man that invented it for his wife. It is served exclusively at that establishment. So just a correction, Fettuccine Alfredo IS an Italian thing and an institution, in fact.
I love every video you post!!! 🌸If you ever visit Mexico or California, would be lovely for you to try some authentic Mexican food! Italian & Mexican culture feels so similar. Especially when it comes to family and food 😊
Mexico is a beautiful country and culture ❤ I’ve always wanted to visit
i moved on from a relationship after 3 years. i know how you feel and the best advice is to do what u really feel deep down, for example like u said you’re not sure about u growing that bond again. that’s ur first sign if he was the one you would definitely get it back. You are right when you said u want someone who wouldn’t put themselves in a position to lose you because it’s very true. you’re young and beautiful you will meet many other guys in your lifetime. but always do what your heart feels ❤
It is obvius that you are so much happier in italy. Now with your ex boyfriend i think you should try live your life without thinking in beggining a relationship, just live and if you meet somebody that you liked a lot, give all of you for this new relationship, because i dont think you turn back with him will be good for you, will just stay at the same way you already been.
Yes! You don’t look happy there and going back with your ex who shouldn’t have let you go the first time if he really loved you. It’s okay that you want to keep your dating life in private. I hope you go back to Italy. Your ex is not the only guy left on earth. Give yourself a chance! You are young and pretty!
I think most Italian-American or Canadian food is what people from Italy came up with after moving to North America and not having access to the same ingredients. It’s authentic in its own way but not authentic to Italy.
U r too young to make decisions abt relationship.. Full maturity regarding this things come after 25.. settle with someone who takes care of u, honest character n most importantly can provide for u( if required)
That soup at the end looks really good - I was just craving soup with meatballs in it for some reason. Also that's totally understandable about keeping your relationships private! I tend to have a hard time with uncertainty and change so I appreciate you sharing about your flexibility around not moving and figuring out what's best for you

my big brother use to day. .do it or get off the pot... when i lived with a guy for 3 years who would not propose !! i was miserable.. he was just a user so i left. it was the best decision ever...Freedom Self care. Growth. new friends i also think your sister needs you back home...
I recently found out that Fettuccine Alfredo is in fact Italian. It was invented in Italy, but has been Americanized by adding chicken and mushrooms.

So Rosie, I just found your channel and I love it! You are a very good videographer and storyteller and I love the way you have included your heritage and your family in the stories you share with us.
Here is some advice from a woman who is many times older than you…
Never make any decision because of a man.They come and they go and you don't want to make serious decisions based on them because they change their minds a lot, especially when young.
Also never accept a man back into your life if he cheated on you. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Continue to travel and visit different places while you are young. It expands the mind and it teaches you about life and people, which will help you be the best person you can be in the long run.
Don't get married when you are too young and don't do intimate things with too many people. I think people should understand that giving your body to them is a gift... which is why many people reserve it for marriage. But long story short, do not offer the most precious gift that you have to too many people ...because it will become less precious to you and to them.
You are a beautiful, well spoken, charming young woman ...and you will not die alone, unless that is what you choose to do, lol! Well!
Don't rush into marriage or children because that is a life changing set of decisions and you need to be ready for it and with a husband who is ready, too.
Last but not least...Always stop at the first sign of yellow light and don't drive so fast that you cant!!!
I imagine great things happening to you in the future... you are breath of fresh air and a gem! I wish all the best to you and I am subscribing!
Rosie, youre endearing to watch so seeing you try food is fun because your expressions are sincere. I think thats why people like to watch those type of videos. As for Italian American, or Chinese American, or any other type of ethnic food made here, what people have to understand is that when waves of immigrants first came here decades ago, grocery store shelves werent like they are today. Many ingredients that you would use in the home country just werent available in Canada or the US so immigrants got creative and used what they had on hand which evolved into a whole new type of cuisine. It may not be "authentic" to someone raised in Italy, China, Greece, etc..but you arent in Italy, China, Greece, youre in Canada. 🙂
Bel video! La befana, però, passa il 6 gennaio...
My God! I didn't know that in Italy Carnival is celebrated. As a Brazilian, I'm very happy to hear that! I'm looking forward to carnival 2023.
Yes usually its in febuary in Italy..Its before lent.
Carnival means "carnem levare" or "remove meat" in latin and early italian. It's very common in those countries were christian religion is prevalent (both catholic and reformed), especially in Western Europe.
Can you guys take a hint she doesn’t want advice even though it’s nice and all it confuses people when thousands are saying different things but anyway Rosie love the vids! And Italian dressing is wack af
Lol I love Italian dressing 😂 I’ll take it from you gladly
My family is from abruzzi Italy and we love all these things including chicken in our pasta 😆
here in Spain instead of the Befana the Three wise mages from the bible comes to our house and leave us presents or coal too, it's so cool knowing about how other countries celebrate the same things
hey Rosie, i have the exact same problem as you, i'm a very indecisive person, so i know how hard it must be to take a decision. But i'll just share my experience with you maybe it will help, my ex and i had a very boring relationship, he treated me bad and didn't give me attention, he would stop talking to me for days and then come back, and when he'd disappear i tell myself i'll never talk to him again but i always take him back, and all this time i kept telling myself that it's okey and that one day our relationship will become great and that even though he doesn't show it he really loves me, until the day he stopped talking to me for good without even saying anything, and thank god he did that!!! Because i would have never had the courage to do it and would still be in a miserable relationship. Now i'm in a 2 years relationship with the most caring, loving, affectionate, sweet guy ever, we barely fight, he always apologizes if he answers a bit like ( which is like 2 hours to him) and I've never filled more thriving in my life. The point is, please DON't SETTLE, don't try to fix something that doesn't bring you joy just because you are used to it, if i have an advice to give you it's to move on and find someone that loves you with all his heart, go and experience things and don't limit yourself.
I don’t know if this is going to help anyone, but being indecisive is very often the effect of putting too much pressure on yourself, of being a perfectionist with your own life. So what works for me (cause I struggle with The same issue) is that I slowly allow myself to make decisions that can turn out to be mistakes because The truth is you are not supposed to “know” everything, you are supposed to experience your own life and figure it out on the way.
Your nails look great! And life is hard, only you know if your treated how you should be! Never let anyone tell you different. We all deserve a man that treats us as #1 in their life. If not then your beautiful and young and you will find that love. Even if it takes 3 romances. Good luck beautiful… from Tennessee
You remind me of my youngest sister and one of my closest friends who I look up to. They both have the same personality trait that you have where they take FOREVER to make decisions. The thing is, while they get all kinds of advice from everyone, it doesn't help them narrow anything down. What they really need to do, is surrender to their process and take whatever time they need to make up their own mind. My friend is someone I respect SO much. When she makes decisions, they are wise. And usually it's fine if it takes forever for her to decide. Where is the rush anyway?
Life rarely sends us options where one choice is genuinely wrong and the other is genuinely right. More frequently decisions are just choices betweeen a certain kind of fruit. Maybe you pick one orange and it's super sweet, but you find a bruised spot. It doesn't mean you picked the wrong orange. Who knows, the other orange might have been totally sour. Or dry.
Be good to yourself. Think about what YOU want most. You only have you to advocate for what you want in this life. It's not selfish to be on your own side, it's human. And honestly, you seem like a good person with a good heart. You've made good choices so far, so keep trusting your instincts.
Hi Rosie! Can you make more traditional Italian meals such as soups/ pastas on your channel? Would love to learn and it’s so comforting to watch :)

Another Italian-American item: Stromboli.
I am surprised to discover that these foods are not really Italian or eaten by Italians. It's funny because in Brazil we have a lot of Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken lovers. And guess what? A CHICKEN flavor pizza. And it's one of the most popular around here. I love chicken pizza! 😄
Anche io habito a Canada e penso che queste cose sono un po strano🤣 la mia nonna è sempre confusa quando parlo di loro.
Hey Rosie! You've mentioned that you've "accepted your channel as a food channel" but your vlogs (e.g. a day in your life in Italy) are also superb! 😍
Girl, do not fall into this trap.

I’m glad to see your video again! I hope you’ve been doing well in finding yourself and getting through your current challenges in life ❤😊🎃

Since you don't want relationship advice, I'll spare you. But I can totally help you decide between Canada and Italy. Neither is your best answer, winter is coming and its time to go south because Canada is a frozen wasteland in winter and you need new horizons to heal and expand in. Going back to Italy will have you missing your time in Canada and wondering if it was all a waste of time. A new place is your best bet and the USA is million times better than Canada and you will have endless wacky Italian and other food options to pass judgement on. Your welcome. And best wishes!!!
I've been here from the start. :)
Cultural differences are so interesting. In my experience, as a (Mexican) Italian-American from the Midwest, my family & most Italian-Americans I've EVER met, are not very close to our culture, beyond the Ianguage & Americanized food, so seeing your prospective in your food videos is so attractive to me.
While watching your videos, I enjoy your personality as well, so don't pidgeon-hole yourself into anything you're not passionate about.
I can't wait to see what direction(s) your channel will go thru! 💜
I love your videos Rosie,you are very talented..Will be praying for you with making decisions! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,lean not on your own understanding,acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path! Proverbs 3:5,6..Smile Jesus loves you!😊💕
Second comment but...
In Greece we also have the "carnival" in February instead of Halloween in October. And we also don't dress as scary stuff. I guess this is due to the fact that we are neighbours 😅
Ακριβώς ;)
Rosie, baby, you're in your 20s. Plenty of time to make all kinds of mistakes. Just try not to repeat them, but only if you're really sure it was a mistakes. Otherwise - don't overthink it.
Nobody controls her or his life. Shit happens. The only thing you can control is how you react to it. Do what feels right at the moment. Of course you'll make mistakes. So what?
I love the "getting my nails done for the first time in my life" part. I do not know why I just love it it's so precious. maybe I should go get mine done for the first time too
Move back to Italy, nothing like living in Europe, you'll meet a great guy here but you'll be in your hometown with your family. A random guy u met at 24 at a foreign country that you already broke up with is not going to be the love of your life, trust me
Those curtain bangs look so good on you❤ you are so beautiful. Do whatever makes you happy, we all have a one life so let’s not spend it being sad when we have a option to be happy! Also I can relate to being that indecisive person😅

life and relationships are created for pleasure and clarity, for reduce problems rather than increase them , for helpin each other if it is not there and everything is complicated, then this is not life and not a relationship. (20 years married).
I truly appreciate you mentioned that your dating life must be kept private. I understand the growing personal pains you need someone to talk to or share with, but once many RUclipsrs or media personalities publicize their personal lives including dating, the audiences will certainly be more invested to it and there’s no turning. Stay strong and know us audiences are on your back. Ciao bella!
I'm not an expert and I have very little insight into your relationship, but I personally think you should move to Italy and try it out there. Maybe try long distance. You don't need to "pull the bandaid off" and never talk to him again. You can still stay in touch, but I don't think you're 100% happy in Canada with him. I think you're just living in the moment with him now
I know your content is very girly girl but I being a boy really like watching you and watching you talk about your relationship knowing how vulnerable that shit is, makes me respect you more.
Your hands look fine and those nails look great on you, I promise nobody else but you thinks your hands are big. I used to feel the same but I found that when I got my nails done nobody was looking at my hands..but my pretty nails!
There’s a chick who copied your entire channel 💀
Whoooo
Talking about Italy? lol there is copyright
It also depends on where you order food from..those little place you picked up your lunch from isn't any where a real Italian would ever eat. I'm 100% Italian and no thank you on eating Italian food out unless it's a Michelan Star restaurant..if not, I just make my own food or go eat at my Mom's.... bottled dressing...disgusting...always make from scratch when you can...it's common sense! And Rosie...you are so young...it's rare to find your forever love at such a young age...go with your heart...there's a reason your ex is in your life and wants you back..maybe HE'S your rare forever love...relationships take a lot of work...my forever love happened when I was in my 30's!! 2 teenagers and 22 years later...it's Fantastic!! I love your videos Sweetheart...xo
Waiting for another vlog with Nonna😍
RUclips pasta grannies lorighetti pasta. And in that video at the end they paired the pasta with a WHOLE PIECE of CHICKEN. So never said never. And in Teramo they have spaghetti alla chittera con palottine( MEATBALLS). And both videos from pasta grannies are from ITALIA.
Omg I can relate sooo much with you about making life decisions. I am having to make very similar decisions right now. Being in our twenties and being confronted with all of these seemingly definite paths that we have to choose right now is really hard. I feel for you and can only say that reminding ourselves that nothing is as definite as it seems really takes some weight off of these decisions. And making wrong decisions is also ok and part of the process. The most important thing is to be kind, understanding and patient towards ourselves. And all will be well :)

Best advice I can give who is recently out of a relationship of 8 years and a marriage of 5 years. If it's meant to be, it will happen. Don't try to force it, you only end up hurting yourself more in the process.
You are so young and there are truly a lot of beautiful men out there. I love your channel, it reduces my anxiety. I relate to you a lot. Sometimes it's good to be single for a while too.
Ok my nonna is from Sicily and we definitely had wedding soup, I do agree about chicken in pasta yuck.
I know you post a lot of food but my favorite videos are your travel vlogs :) I know they’re mostly based around food but I look at it more as watching Italian culture or watching a vlog 💗
O realshionship..My comment is like a buthole we all have one.. sooooo yes HOME IS THE BEST PLACE. FAMILY is the best. MEN come and go FAMILY IS forever.
I like how you said “I’ve accepted the fact that my channel is a food channel.” Happy accident!
I think you should try therapy.. the indecisiveness can be just a symptom coming out of something else. and for sure you can feel better because you will learn tools how to manage it.
I completely understand what you mean about relationships being complicated. My first and only relationship started 2 months before my 18th bday; the first 5-6 years were very tumultuous and full of heartbreak (for me lol), now I’m 39 yrs old and we are still in love and still together in a much healthier, happier, mature situation. I’m not saying you should/shouldn’t stay, I’m just saying I’m an example of it being possible to “work out”
Fettuccine Alfredo was named after the Italian-American chef who invented it. His name was Alfredo and I believe he worked for a restaurant in either Chicago or New York
The decision you’re faced with is not an easy one. I wish you all the peace in the world with whatever you decide. Thanks for the videos!😊
The calamari is dark because the oil is old. Fresh oil doesn’t brown that way.
