I'm Starting Over at 33 Years Old (The Uncomfortable Truth)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2024
- I am staring life over at the age of 33. Is it too late to start over at my age? Sometime I do think so, it's not easy to start from scratch when you had plans to start a family soon not that long ago... My world has changed so much in the last few years and I am still adjusting. I used to be married for almost 10 years and I can't get used to being single and the whole dating scene. My life is a mess, problem after problem. Living in a van full time doesn't' make my life easier. Full time travel and being on the road has its challenges; dealing with van breakdowns& things breaking and falling apart are daily occurrence. I feel that I am not mentally stable lately, perhaps I am having a personal crisis, perhaps I am just healing... For now I will just open the door to my life to any stranger that wants to listen. Remember to be kind...

Starting life over again is difficult. I can't believe I am single for over 2 years now. I am far from where I want to be, things take time and for the most part I am very lost at this moment. Terrible life changing events drastically altered my consciousness and I am slowly getting to discover myself again. I am experiencing a rebirth and it feels uncomfortable. Have you ever felt the same? Am I the only one stocked in a freezer response mode?
Great attitude ❤
I lost both my parents... I moved out of my apartment to help my mom, who had cancer. She died at 67, and my dad, who had been with her since they were 16, had taken his own life... both 67. I'm a grown ass woman who wants her parents. I lost my first born to stillbirth... and after that, I had an addiction problem after the epidural they did was improperly inserted... at 15 being on oxys, vicodin, and percs. The doctor took me off after 6 years... I ended up numbing my pain with drugs, I'm 34 now, and I wish I had the answers for you. My heart broke when you told us about Philips passing. I wish we weren't on opposite sides of the country cuz girl, you'd be welcome at my place ANYTIME. ❤❤. Wish I could help you.
Look. I don't like mincing words. My advice is to accept it. Forgive yourself. This is harder to say than you think and I'm gonna. You need to getcha some sausage. I said it once, and I'll say it again, the Gods take care of their own. You are in good hands. You are the best and don't you gd forget it. Zero just means you can now add to it. Add the best
Yeah it must have been 2 huge shocks for you, so sorry 😢. I have had health problems for 20 years , its very unstable so makes it hard to heal the deep trauma. To feel better its important to feel safe and secure plus understand the architecture of trauma, brain and nervous system. Ton of videos on RUclips and plenty on Reddit of sharing advice and stories. So understanding, meditation, conscious breathing, write journal, hold and feel emotions, have community and positive people, have insight on attachment styles and your beliefs about the world , brain retraining and affirmations, somatic therapy to process the trauma etc. It can be a long deep journey to heal, feel safe and claim sovereignty. Big hugs 🫂
Lidia, I understand you feel you you are not where you want to be being single is a bummer I get this too, worry not and talk to that sunset you like and see most evenings as you will be surprised what comes back as you ask, there is a oath awaiting for you with a lot of positivity the patience is rewarding 😉
I found myself broke, alone and basically homeless at age 56. I chose life!
I moved from the United States to the Philippines. Starting over was the best thing I ever did. Three years later I am happier than I have ever been.
It's never too late!!!
Wow Philippines sounds like a dream! I am happy for you
Thanks for the positivity!! I need this now!!! Homeless with a car!!! 😮
Thank u sir dont comeback-
@@tbone6203 no worries
So pleased for you. May I ask, what temperature range is it over there? - tempted myself. Many thanks
I am 58yo, I have 3 ex-wives and I was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer 6 months ago. (I now have a 50/50 chance of living) ... I still get up every morning and try not to think about my situation too much. A very old man once many years ago gave me some good advice - " no matter how good or how bad your life is right now, it will change"
I certainly hope you live long and prosper! Godspeed!
You got this prayers your way

may you heal
I’m right here with you, I was in a relationship for 13 years. I’m now 32, live with my mom and looking for a job. I felt so alone until I saw this. Thank you ❤ I’ll support you the best I can sister
Life will get better
What went wrong?
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Your free to go and do whatever you want, I suggest going from job to job until you find something you can see yourself doing fir years with a great group of people
Hell I even got rid of my car since my job is so close and gave myself a raise with no responsibility
Age 32 and female, the number 1 priority is not a job. It is figuring out what is the problem with relationships with the West and figuring out how to create a stable family with a good man asap. Your fertility clock is ticking. Men and women are happiest in their traditional roles. Go find the Amish or something. Buck the trend.
I re booted at 39, never looked back, I had zero $ zero goals, zero self esteem. I have totally re started ,am now 56, been married, had a beautiful daughter, and got my own home. It can be done, enjoy the adventure!
Wow! How?!?!?
@nanasabia I got a government job, saved hard and worked extra shifts for a couple of years, saved a good deposit and got a housing loan. Will still have to work to pay the loan until retirement. I do miss the freedom of low responsibility though!
THanks for this sir...IM trying my hardest your comment gave me courage!
Excellent
Not worth it
Always remember. Getting old IS the goal. We all get beat up. Wear it like a badge of honor. I got divorced and basically went broke at the age of 32. Now I'm 66 and have a healthy happy family. Happiness is here and now.
YES!
1000%
I've been saying for decades that I'd rather get old than die young.
I had gone through the exact same thing at 32, and my divorce destroyed my great credit. Now I'm 40 remarried over 800 score, and I make 2,500k to 3k a week through swing trading, and that amout grows weekly. We're buying land and building a few small homes on it with the extra money we have. My life is better than ever.
@@ubermoc Right on! Lots of ways to make money. And we get better at choosing partners.
I love this comment! ❤
@@soflodoug Old white men are always so salty. Have all the advantages in the world and still can't do shit with it. Sorry you were born from weak stock.
I’ve restarted my life before a few times as I’m 67 years old. It’s character building or soul destroying it’s a thin line. Be strong always.
I am 39 and starting over too in a bus. Life certainly has a way of kicking us all in the head. You aren’t alone! There are a bunch of us out here
Big-time! I rebuilt my life into a traveling golf Caddie using Van life to do so. It's been an awesome 2 decade ride!
My husband and best friend was killed in an accident. I never met anyone else, but you have more years ahead to heal and hopefully find love again. You are adorable and kind.
So sorry. That's breaks my heart.
Relatable. I wouldn’t want to meet anyone new after such an accident
I feel you baby , I lost my wife to breast cancer in 2017 I was 48 and all those things we worked so hard for dreams together retirement together went up in smoke . And now I am sitting here at 55 and just lost our puppy that me and my wife got about two years before she got sick and I asked god to please take her gently and he answered my prayers , she passed away in my arms during sunset just the same way when my wife passed away . So now after lots of tears I have pulled myself back up my head high and I getting ready to head out on adventure to see America through the eyes of emotionally beaten man . But I know life will get better and I will have my day in the sun once again . But a word of advice set your goals set your direction a compass and find your true north as love will come around to brighten your life !
I hope that when it’s your time, you find loving arms to transition over in as well.
❤
"Volkswagens don't leak oil; they mark their spot."
I am glad you are keeping your spirits up despite your challenges. It's not easy, so live your life one day at a time.
I'm 45 just starting over 7 months new to Hawaii. I moved from NJ with only a couple of thousand dollars. It is very difficult to pick up the pieces and start over. Just keep faithful and God will provide for you. Wishing you love and aloha!
Hi Lidia, I’m 33 years old ! Separated for almost a year soon divorced , and with lots of harsh consequences to deal with because of the separation, But I trust that I’m gonna be okay, YOU gonna be okay! God is no respecter of person, there are countless stories of people who went through far worse situations and still God restored them and gave them a future and a hope. Jesus is still on the throne, he loves you and cares for you. Turn to him and he will give new meaning to your life. Your best days are still ahead of you
Girl I'm 30 and single drowning in debt and wish I could be in a van with no debt just opportunities to make money and not owe money. What you gone through is terrible but you're alive and healthy and have the open road ahead. Just bathe in this beautiful planet of ours and take it as they come.
You are single and drowning in debt at age 30??? This is what happens when people live above their means
Love the positivity in your comment ❤ don’t let others judge you, we do so many mistakes when we are young… and you still young! Hope you find true happiness
You’re probably tone death sometimes living above your means =getting healthy food that will nourish your body I’m sorry that as a poor person I didn’t just buy some beans and ramen to eat for two months straight you don’t know someone’s situation so you can judge but understand your probably coming from a place of privilege even if you don’t think so
As someone who used to watch the both of you I’m very sorry to hear about his passing. May you find peace and healing 💓
Thank you
I’m so sorry you experienced that trauma. I was married and my husband decided to cheat then divorce then took his life. So hard experiencing all that. I do have my two pups through it all though 😌 Sending you lots of love ❤🫶🏼
I guess we have a lot in common unfortunately... Thank you for sharing ❤️
When I was 44 years old I got out of 10 years relationship and now I'm 48 years old and still don't want to be with anyone. You have to watch out for snakes in the grass
hope you find 😊
44 was not 34. Are you female? Huge distinctions. She has a limited fertility window right now.
"I am just a traumatized van lifer" - we are all traumatized, really, by life itself. Surviving life is the goal, I guess, while Disney Princess animals poop all around us. Just keep moving towards being happier, is all we can do, really.
I am 49, but I would not call you young - you have lived more than most in your time on the earth. I would call you energetic, which is what life IS. You survive, and try and be happy.
Thank you for the reality check 🙏🏽🥹
I’m so sorry for your loss. You are not starting over. You’re on the next chapter. Everything you’ve been through has informed your life to this point and has made you what you are. Don’t discount that experience. All you have gone through has made you a strong person and I am proud of you for putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward.
I subscribed. You are exposing your vulnerabilities, and struggles, but most of your truths. Keep working on yourself and your channel. You keep doing what you're doing, and you get more subscribers.
My daughter is about the same age as you are. Her boyfriend took his life as well. Now she has a kid no boyfriend but a decent job and is finally making a come back. It is a slow process. You are a beautiful person you will attract someone who will be great for you. Just give it enough time.
Lidia's bf took his life?
@@blaz3ofglory570 That is what she said in the video.
@@alph8654 Yeah, I had commented before watching..
One of the best times in my life around the same age as you was traveling around in a Westy like yours. I worked as a chef doing seasonal work in resorts during the summer and ski resorts during the winter. Many places I worked actually gave me free room and board. It was great to be able to bank all my pay, free room and board and met some really great coworkers in resort areas. Off days I played hiking, kayaking, skied, exploring the places where people came to vacation. Anyway, sometimes plugging yourself into a regular job for a season or so is therapeutic, both financially, mentally and a great way to see wonderful places. Good luck to you :)
Thank you for sharing but at this moment I need to invest all my energy growing this channel and make it successful. It’s my job and I don’t want to give it up
@@LidiaRico I hear you Lidia and it’s a great channel. Thank you for replying and I look forward to seeing more of your great content. Cheers :)
I was actually just thinking last night that I would like to add another van life RUclipsr to my subscription list because some of my favorites have slowed down video production. Perfect timing for me to find you! And also I can relate with your story. Married 9 years and then divorced. Now 33 years old, starting over, and regrowing. It is a big challenge. Wish you well and look forward to watching more vids. Thanks
You're gorgeous!!! I thought you were still in early twenties too. Gods got you girl. I know it may not feel like it now, but he has you. I pray he blesses every area of your life, and he doesn't just give you what you want, but even better.
Keep on rolling, I've started over so many times I started listing it as a skill on job applications. It's going to get better.
Gracias Julio, Caesar and California Westy's Crew 👏🙌👍 Thanks for taking us along for the ride Lidia. Hoping this week is better than last! 💕🤙
Yes… I need some good luck
Subscribed and liked. I had a situation where I was living good, had a house and a dog but was in a toxic relationship. I ended up leaving the relationship with a travel tailer. I lived off grid for a year and then continued my trailer life renting a private lot. Keep your head up and keep creating content! You will get back on your feet! Always invest in yourself first! Wishing you happy and safe travels on the road and in your journey of life!
Loving all your videos lately!! Your editing styles, music choice and content is wonderful! I appreciate you showing authenticity from the good to the bad, I guess it’s all part of the journey. Sending you love!! 🩵
You won't be alone for very long. You're absolutely adorable.
I wish it was that easy
Probably not ready yet! Takes some time. Don’t focus on it. You got a new life. Enjoy it!
@@os6219absolutely agree with you....I don't know why people act as if being alone is the worst thing that can happen. She is doing the right thing- taking time to heal and work on her self. Being in an unhealthy, unstable relationship is way worse than being alone.
Lose the nose ring. Lose the tattoos. People that have these "things"are not taken seriously. Think "clown". If you want to be taken seriously and have the respect of someone special, then present yourself as someone that cares about their self and not what the trends of others are influencing on them. Just the truth. Tough love from someone that understands.
MEntail issues are common these days.
Bless your heart girl! You are such a beautiful person that has so much to give. Continue to live life to the fullest and embrace each day because one day things will fall into place for you and you don’t want to say you wish you would have done more. Do it now!
Thank you so much!! God bless you
@@LidiaRico 🤗
This channel gonna blow up. 5 years from now you will be very happy, you will become a better person. Also you would have helped a lof of people by sharing your experience. Many other things will happen to you but I just wanted to focus on the main things. You are the new hero Lidia Rico.
I've never seen your video. This is the first one RUclips showed on my timeline. The title captivated me.
You have a very touching story. I pray your life be filled with Joy. Pure Joy. ❤
I know what you mean about feeling like life is a roller coaster lately. I know for me it’s hard to enjoy the good things because I’m always waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I also feel you on the being single and not having anyone to talk to. I’m glad you have the crew at California Westys to help you out! I hope everything works out with your computer!🤞Another great video Lidia!❤
Yes, that’s exactly right! I feel the same way. Hopefully I can get my computer back soon! And I am so blessed with the California Westy crew…❤
I almost lost my life in 2015. I was hospitalized for a month. During that month, both of my parents died and I could not see them. I slowly healed. In that one month, I thought a lot about my life up till then. I realized I had a second chance. I have went through the depression and sadness. I still feel it to this day. However, I have adopted a new attitude that goes like this:
Any day above ground is a good day .
I know it’s easy for me to say that now, but let’s just say I’ve been through the emotional trenches one goes through when life takes the wrong turn and losing the ones you love.
I do not worry about death anymore. My main goal is to live life to fullest and go as hard as I can.
Happiness is waiting for you. Push through the hard times the best you can. Keep doing what you’re doing. I, like many others enjoy your content. In fact, you are one of the influences regarding going out there and enjoying the world through van life in which I am doing now. You’ll get through this and I’m rooting for you.
💯💯💯
Loneliness can be so painful. I understand the desire to film yourself. Being able to talk to a camera is like Tom Hanks talking to Wilson in Castaway. One feels less alone. You’ll get through this. Life is about overcoming obstacles. Continue striving for your independence and take it one day at a time. True love tends to materialize when we’re not looking for it.
Bless you - Life will sometimes give us heartache but you have a positive outlook on life and you have a great VW Van to keep you on track. The best thing to do is to Network with people and make connections. I've recently started on my own but i'm positive on my future.
You have the support of your entire fan base, reach out if you ever/ need anything, you are a strong woman, nothing keeps you down, jealous people are the haters, remember that.
Thank you so much for the warm and kind love
Good luck to you. I to, have the very much at a loss.
I am 70. Ill health and on the verge of homelessness. My former partner, after 7 years decided our relationship was over. I invested my life and treasure on our place. I have very little money left due to unexpected health crisis. I will, financially be 100% broke by the end of September and my health is still in question. You are 33....You have time to reinvent your life and I hope you will find your way.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. Don’t give up we need to stay strong no matter what 🥹🙏🏽
Much love to you, Lidia! Many people have gone through things that are very wild and are not sure what to think! You are very brave and you are AMAZING!!! ❤️
Thank you for hanging in there beautiful . You shall prosper and heal sooner or later so keep on keeping on. I am so sorry you had to go through that
You are fine. You are where you are supposed to be. If you know Steve Harvey, he is a very wealthy man, comedian, with lots of jobs, and of course, he is rich. He says you can mess up your life and still make it.
Lidia, you are in the process of greatness. When you quit is When you failed. Keep working. Make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, because they are life lessons.
I will keep watching and enjoying your videos. I'm in California and had an eye out for your van. I hope someday I get the chance to meet you.
Thank you son much for sharing! Yeah keep an eye out 👀 you never know if you’ll see my van somewhere hehe
@@LidiaRicoLidia...we are on the edge of a financial collapse..please buy some land for you to farm on..and live..my best advice.. Gluck
With 95,000+ subscribers, I would think you are doing awesome financially! I just subbed your channel! I love your grind!🙂
95k subscribers doesn't mean 95k dollars... assumptions are dangerous
@@LidiaRico I understand that, but I'm just saying that you are at least making some good amount.
@@LidiaRico exactly
@@BigRantsOhYeahIn this exact video, she mentioned that RUclips won’t monetize a creator until they have 100k+ views consistently on every video
I just subscribed and hit the notification button. Best wishes in your new journey. I'm 64 and still deal with the trials and tribulations in life. One thing I learned is (this is not original), it's not what happens to us in life, but it's how we respond. And it seems your response to all you have gone through is to keep moving forward. Hang in there.
Doing what I can to help out, girl. Liked, Subscribed and shared. You got this... live, breath, every moment is precious. ❤
I'm starting over at 40. Hearing someone saying 33 makes me feel so old. So old. My wife and i are in the process of divorce so im just starting my childhood again.
How are you feeling about the divorce?
@LidiaRico anxiety. Lol. But hopeful. Ready to get on with my life and move past it.
Old? Nah. Try this at 62!!
@@adamtedder1012 childhood sounds good in a way you know:)
I divorced at 36 with $300 to my name. I’m 40 now and things are SO much better. I did cptsd trauma therapy and it was gnarly, but worth it! I have a partner, a little Covid rescue pup, a job, a home, and I’m sober. Life isn’t perfect, but I am safe and content. I miss my old self and my old life, but I’m not stuck there anymore. I’m looking forward to the next chapter. I feel like I’ve lived 10 lives in this lifetime, some good and some bad. But I have never been so aware when the current life is OVER as I am now. So I mourned it, and now I’m looking forward to this new chapter after awhile in the hazy in between ❤ PS I also lost my mom to su!cide and it’s hard to find people who understand. Find people who get it, and talk with them. It’s helpful. I did group grief counseling and I’m glad I did.
I understand where you are, I was there too. But you have beauty ,, more than I had, but I never gave up,, that was 35 years ago and I survived,, life gets better and you will someday look back and be smiling,, ..think positive you will be on top
I'm so happy to see you're back online and sharing with the community. We are all here to help you get thru it all.
Great way to start over. Smart. Keep on rolling with your life in your van, time and new beginnings heal. All the best.
Dating after 30 is a mess. Stay single, travel, meet new people, be happy.
I AGREE 🤣
@@jamie-r2034 amen!
Absolutely!
@@braun3659 🙌🙌
You are living your dream each day injoy as you go along on this journey ! You are all so doing what lot of us dream to do ! Hang in there
Thank you so much for your kindness
Lidia, you are such refreshing, gentle spirit and I'm so glad I ran across your channel. I've only watched a couple of videos so far but I am solid fan already. Your videos are entertaining and so professionally created. I hope things go well for you--I'll be watching!! 💕
Amen. I’ve done what you’re doing and including teaching and coaching overseas for five years and now I’ll return to California to take another shot to build a life in my hometown. Good luck and Godspeed to you in your journey. You’re young. No doubt you’ll succeed in capturing your dreams…
And including living in a van, by choice, this upcoming month until I choose to live in the extremely overpriced apartments in my state.
Be careful living on the road. Also, I wanted to offer you some encouragement. I started my new life at 37. Had a bad time in my life up to that point, but when things happened for me they happened very quickly. I found the right partner (same age as me), we had our first baby at 40 years old, our second at 42. We bought our first house (in California) at 43, and we have discovered through our interactions with other parents that many of us started our families at an age that used to be thought "old." In the Hispanic culture there is this unnecessary pressure to "adult" by a certain age, but economic realities are undeniable. You can't grow a family until you are solidly grounded yourself, economically, emotionally. Focus on your continued growth. The universe will open up for you. It is a gift to struggle when you are young.
thank you doe sharing
I'm 34 and my ex husband also decided to wake up one day and divorce me after 11 years together and 7 years married. So far I moved to a different state to start brand new, but now that I've settled and the tress from the divorce is a bit less than it was I feel lost more days than not. I believe we can start over at any age, I just don't know what it means to me yet. I thought that moving out of state was it - starting over, but that was just the tiny part of it it seems.
Well I am glad that you took action and moved away from the trauma that's a great step! Now is time to reflect, to find things that make you feel like that little girl you once were again. Time to focus your energy only in your dreams and improving yourself as a person, a good person. The rest doesn't matter! I trust you!
Just hearing about other people experiencing the same thing, it helps me alot atlest.
I can imagine the thoughts after being married.
As for me, never got married, but still tried to buy house together, making offers and such.
Thanks for sharing
no offence but the united states is probably not the best place to live.
Im sorry that you werent a better wife to your husband. Women in the Western world really got screwed by feminist ideology, I wish you the best on your journey to reprogram yourself and become a real woman capable of attracting a real man in todays age.
@@user-ww9fs4zo3t what a moron you are, lol
Everything is part of a bigger plan, this hurt and struggle will make you 100x stronger and you will overcome the struggle. You seem like such a sweet person and I wish you all the best. Never give up and just visualize where you will be in a year from now as a strongminded person
I love that your doing this by yourself. I have a 85 vw vanagon my self here in Utah and I give you so much credit and praise for living and making things work in your van. I also have a 70 vw baja beetles and before I got my van I was sleeping in that vw with my daughter and 2 dogs at one point. I always say at least I did it in style. Love the van and the fridge idea. I don't have the head banger cabinets but I like how you did it and styled it. Us girls got this 🎉 keep it up it will pay off sooner then you think. The worst always comes before the storm- from another female vw friend! Stay safe!
"He or she that has health had hope" Life is a story. You have been through some tough chapters. I hope you have some wonderful chapters in your future.
I agree I wish I had help
Don't be silly. 33 is plenty young enough so get yourself in gear and get on with it. I started over at 40 after a divorce, got wiped out again at 54 when the second wife died of cancer. Now 61 and no, at my age I'm not starting over a third time. Selling the house next year and hitting the road alone. I no longer have the nesting instinct, and grateful for it. To love is to know pain, the two are inseparable.
Good luck for your trip
Loved the video. You were very honest. I am in a difficult spot myself. Hope everything turns out the best for all of us!
I’m so sorry about what happened. You will be ok. Stay strong
THANK YOU !
I feel ya ,had the divorce at 39 ,took my 2 kids with the clothes on our backs, I got us self help housing for a year or 2 , got a job tree trimming, worked hard ,things eventually got better . As an amputee it was extremely hard climb. Got a new home my kids are raised. Moral of the story ,never give up . Good things come to good people.
❤
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story! You are an inspiration for people like myself
Saw this video, I was in a long term 13 year relationship that ended a year again and I’m still not over it while they have moved on. Thank you for sharing your story…I don’t feel alone watching your vid.
hey, I've been looking into the van life myself lately & came across your content. I'm super sorry to hear about your situation with your marraige, I'm at the start of a similar journey. It's an incredibly sad/lonely time. But I think that everything happens for a reason, and that if we keep doing our best everyday, things can only get better & better. Take care
Hi Lidia.
I’m here in the UK 🇬🇧.
Oh you don’t have to tell me about how life can be pretty 💩 at times.
I’m full time caregiver to my 2 Disabled adult sons and believe me life can be very difficult and stressful…… but while we have a breath in our bodies we should just keep plodding through it all 🤷♂️.
Just remember that you have a lot of people from all over the world who are very much behind you ❤.
Give yourself time to Grieve though,nobody likes to be alone but going into a relationship because we feel lonely doesn’t always work out very well,you will find someone but when the time is right.
You are a extremely attractive strong woman and the perfect person is out there ❤
El Cajon? My hometown!
Yeah! That’s were California Westys is at :)
Appreciate how open and honest you are about the realities of van life ! Your videos are always raw and amazing, sending you all the amor Lidia ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I try my best to keep it real
Lidia, I love your videos. I recently lost my dad and am taking care of my mother, which I have no regrets. The times that say you're down and fixed the problem. Shows the rest of us that it can be done. And be done alone with out a spouse.
My good thoughts of peace is always with you
Amen 🙏🏽 ❤
i love your "one less Sprinter" bumper sticker, i want one hahaha.
anyways, i hope you get everything you want. i hate that so many of us vanlifers are traumatized. so many of us dont really choose this lifestyle, but are forced into it. i'm in a van with my partner after not being able to lock down an apartment. we have no savings, both work minimum wage. i had lost my very well-paying job not long ago, i had to rehome my household pets, i had to sell my horse. i was very lucky and blessed less than 2 years ago and now i'm houseless and scraping by. can't really drive too much cause of gas prices.
things will get better. for all of us. i wish the absolute best for you! i throughly enjoy your content and always watch to the end. keep it up! xxx much support from Toronto, canada!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s so true life is not easy right now! We live in a deep depression and it’s so hard to make money these days
Stay strong love! I know what you mean when you say you feel old!
I see that you're working your way back to yourself, keep striving and keep doing exactly what you're doing. Time heals all things.
I really relate, just turned 33 and trying to start everything over again; best of luck with your journey !
You went through a double trauma. A divorce and a traumatic death. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself plenty of time to heal. You are still young. Don't compare yourself to other people or give yourself unrealistic timelines. One step at a time, one day at a time. 💛
I also lost my father in the same year… so I am still going through that as well 😢
I love your channel content I'm William a psychologist for women and I've been watching your channel for a while I rarely speak but I just wanted to say a word of encouragement God is out there and he's willing to help us get through things if you just go to him and talk to him counselors are great therapists like myself serve a purpose but a relationship was God can change everything and feel you like no person can!
Amen. I know I am familiar with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God.
Well done to you for taking steps to start over, bless you!❤
I love these comments of every one just candidly sharing their truths. No ones life is perfect & within that imperfection is literally perfection! This video was so dope. Your transparency is so admirable. ❤☺️
Girl, you are still young. I’m sorry you are going through a tough time but try starting over at 60!!!! 😂😂I started over at 37 and then again at 60! It’s hard at any age but at least your chance of finding love again are much higher. Stay positive! ❤
That sounds a bit harsh, sorry: If you're not earning enough with the videos in your Prime, you'll have to think up and build up another business now. You can't wait until you're 38
well, she has an OF so...... smfh
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
Thank you for striving through the pain. You're an inspiration xx
Hi Lidia!! I'm Andromedea, and I also live in El Cajon and La jolla ! I'm here for you if you need anything! I'm so sorry you are going through this! You are not alone, and you don't deserve this 😔
Such positive vibes! Stay strong girl!
Your videos are great. I see myself vanlifing in a VW in California soon, your videos are helpful in showing me places I would like to go. Maybe one day I'll see you on the road.
I love the selection of the background music
Biggest hug with love 🌹❤️
Best of luck. We will be here always.
Damn Lidia you are absolutely gorgeous... I am 32 years old turning 33 now and i am also starting life over ! Keep making these videos and pursuing what makes you happy :) I would love to meet you one day :) I subscribed and watched your video til the end :)

Lidia you are wonderful you really gave me a pick me up with that music and your hair frizzed out just looks cool and your home in that Van is so you. First time watching you stay strong and positive you will start feeling again. I believe the very best for Miss Lida and choose Life always Joey.
Heyyy Lidia, just happened to come across this video and I have to say I appreciate your authenticity. Life is so full of ups and downs and we never know what's gonna happen or where it will take us. It looks like you drove by my old stomping ground in Pacific Beach 13:59. I used to live a block away on La Playa for 5 years and it was one of my best experiences.
I’m sorry for what you are going through. I hope things end up working out really well for you. Also I wanted to say dang you are freaking gorgeous!!!
Lidia, your story is truly inspiring. I admire your courage and determination to move forward despite the challenges you have faced. Your positive attitude and focus on happiness are an example to us all. I am sure you will achieve great things in your life. Keep going!
God bless you, wonderful video and a bright future ahead 👏🙌🏽
Everybody needs a Guillio (I don't know if I wrote this correctly) ! You are such a rightful human being and I am glad you start over even if life has been hard. Seeing people with the same energy give me so much hope. I wish you a lot of love
Share your journey ❤😊
I’m sorry for your loss and I’m also glad that I found your channel. Of course I subscribed to your channel and I look forward to growing with you. Stay positive and keep your faith ❤️💋
I just want to give you a huge bear hug and tell you that everything is going to work out 😖💞 First time coming across your channel and I am going to be including you in my daily prayers. Sending you endless healing energy and love.
I completely understand on what you are going through because I’ve been experiencing almost the same thing for almost a year now. October 20th 2023 my dad died in his sleep and then on October 22nd I was rushed to the hospital with heart valve failure. I’ve had two major heart surgeries in 2024 but my heart is back to normal now. I’ve had a stroke 5 years ago that left me permanently partially blind on the left side due to the brain damage the stroke caused. In sharing this I completely understand the nightmare you are going through and I will pray for you that your life turns around and you find happiness again. I wish I could give you a big hug and tell you to hang in there.
Good luck with your goals.. I wish you best.
Hello Lidia. I'm glad you're doing better.
I subscribed, and am rooting for you!
You are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't imagine anyone divorcing a woman like yourself.
I am very sorry for your loss but make the most of life! I am only 30 years old and still feel like I have my whole life ahead of me we're both still young with unlimited potential 😘
Lidia, You are an incredible woman. Keep your head up and your eyes forward. Just as everything can change in the blink of an eye - so it can also change for the better. You are still young and living a dream ( Imagine at 50 looking back at where you are now, and you will probably remember a few things fondly and regret nothing ) Keep at it . The best is yet to come.
Awesome video as always Lidia Rico. Don’t forget Lidia Rico there is always someone with you during the bad times and the good times God is always by your side to watch over you and comfort you when times are tough. And you’ll find yourself a partner who truly understands you and cares deeply for you just around the corner because you are a gorgeous woman and you’ve got a beautiful personality.
