    Just started watching your videos, not sure how the heck this video ended up in my algorithm, I’m completely opposite of you and your lifestyle. I’m a 59 year old white woman living life in the countryside of NY, not even close to NYC. However with that being said, I find your videos interesting, relaxing, and love to imagine how different my life could’ve been if I had been born and raised in the city. Good to see there’s life outside of this bubble of security I’ve created for myself, but often wonder, is it a bubble of security or a prison? Subscribed❤️

    Not to gas it but this particular vlog was shot & edited spectacularly. Every detail, right down to song choice (thanks for listing everything, btw), was an exercise in simplistic perfection. Are you a film student/graduate? I felt like I watched either a short film or an episode of a new series with unbridled potential. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed and subbed instantly off this episode. Looking forward to more! PS - 'What The Helen' is genius 😅

      @@JennyWHOA Hiii! Thank you so much for this well thought out comment. Honestly, I’m still stuck on why this video is doing so well(no complaints lol). I didn’t even think twice when it came to editing it, which is rare because I tend to overthink a lot lol & at one point I wasn’t going to include a lot of the clips for fear of being “seen” but I decided to just do it anyway. Sometimes that’s just what it is. As for your question, I am not a film student/graduate at all lol. I’ve learned everything from RUclips lol. I genuinely appreciate this so much, thank you 🤲🏾✨
