14 years is so long and if you think about it like a traditional job, people don't stay in the same job or industry for that long! It's impressive how you've been on here for that long and have built this community. I'm excited to see what is up ahead
an opinion from the point of view of a youtuber with 2 channels… I totally understand!! but also I wish you remember that running even one channel is so much work by itself, let alone two + a podcast, a business, merch and so much more that you are doing. I’ve been a supporter of your content for such a long time now and I’m so proud of everything you’ve achieved…. You really truly deserve a break whenever you need it because u’ve been giving us enough content every single day for SO long. 💛
I've been watching you since 2013, that sentence alone sounds creepy. I've fallen in and out of love with your channel over the years. But you've always been a great RUclipsr. Maybe it's time for some fresh content and a new start
✝️ *LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN!* ✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin! 🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life! 💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!
I absolutely love how raw and honest you are being and the style this video was edited in is so fresh and clean and just all around amazing. Keep being you and crushing it
I don’t know if you will see this but I freaking LOVE you Alisha! No matter if you were going to not post for a year or you could post every day, I would watch your videos. It is completely okay that sometimes you grow out of things or just need a better headspace with certain things❤️
Alisha... I am 23 and I've been watching you since probably 2014 when I was 15. I met you and Remi separately I think in 2017, at Black Friday at the brea mall before you two had even really became best friends. Its been so amazing to watch you grow into your own skin and mature. You have inspired me to create my own RUclips channel and I've been doing it since 2015 with only 73k subscribers today. I had a burn out because I went through a family divorce in the middle of covid and got depressed. Your channel has been so inspiring and I praise you for how hard you've worked on RUclips all these years. Ive learned so much from you and Remi about how you need to put yourself first. Thank you for everything you do because even this video although you may feel like its silly and pointless, its so helpful!
i can’t believe i’ve been watching you my literal whole life. 14 years. i feel like we all grew up watching alisha and everyone else and to watch you be so true and honest is so encouraging for people in their mid 20s who are also so confused about life and what to do. you’re an inspiration. take the break. take a trip. do what YOU need because that’s all that matters. i love you
Girl, this is 29. As a mid-30something (lol), I can PROMISE you that anyone who’s sensitive, aware of their surroundings and mental health, will go through this in their late 20s. Lean into it as much as you can and try to remind yourself that it won’t always be this uncomfy. You will learn more about yourself in this era of your life than you EVER have up until this point. All the love.
27 here and its crazy how abnormal this is .growing up your put this picture perfect life of your graduate highschool then college then the job you want .and its not even close (to all) so i feel like thats why we struggle in our 20s because we realize so much and reality hits ❤️ im so happy she took this trip solo and really taking the time to open her eyes on what SHE wants and needs in her life
have been here since 2014 and you are the ONLY RUclipsr I just know I will NEVER unsubscribe... I feel like I've grown up with you and I want to keep growing with you. You're like the older sister I never had and I will stay by your side and support you as long as I can!
Honestly, this vulnerability is way nicer to see than some staged video or a challenge video. Just seeing the comfort, and almost like seeing this video as a sigh of relief from Alisha.
I want to start off with saying I love you. I have followed you since 2014 and when you came up with the bae's place song for Starbucks. I have followed you since those back to school videos, videos with Mia and Eva and Sierra. I have followed you ever since you moved with Ashley to the apartment before you moved to the house you live in now, and of course I've seen the moving vlogs and home decor vlogs when you moved to this house. You have inspired me for years, and most importantly, you have been there for me through my depression and suicidal periods of my life. You are, and have been one of the very glimpses of happiness in my life. You don't know this, but you are one of my biggest inspirations. I also take medication for my mental health and it's nothing wrong with that and I love that you are open with that. I have always believed in you, and I will continue on doing that. I'm so proud of you, truly. I'm excited and proud to follow you on this new chapter in your life. Thank you, Alisha. For giving me life, giving me happiness, and for being you. Btw I had a fanpage account on Instagram for you years ago but I can't remember the username haha!
Totally get where you’re coming from! Im at a stage in life where I’m graduating from university in a few months and have absolutely no clue what’s next for me, which honestly terrifies me because I don’t have that linear direction anymore like i’ve had the past 22 years. I’ve decided to take kinda like a gap year to “figure my sh*t out” and I’ve changed my perspective to take it slow and not rush any decisions based on societal pressures. Everyone is on their own timeline and I think it’s enlightening to accept that because at the end of the day your happiness and well-being matters 💕It may be scary in the moment but I trust everything works out in the end.
Girl👏🏻 you are HUMAN...we mess up, we get stressed, we have ISSUES!! you are doing great and you are such a good influence to SO many, I appreciate you taking the time to even do a video like this. God has plans for us all, we may not understand why some things happen the way they do or why we have the issues that we have, but HE DOES, He will not put more on you than you can handle! You are such a strong woman and you are allowed to take time off, even with no explanation to anyone! Your TRUE supporters will be here when you are ready! Pray for strength when you don't feel strong enough, GOD WILL GET YOU THROUGH IT....no matter how hard it may seem at the moment... you will look back and see one day it was just a tiny obstacle, and YOU GOT OVER IT!! praying for you girly😘 stay strong, you got this🙏🏻
I was 10 years old when I started watching you and I turned 18 last month you have literally felt like a friend or a big sister to me and watching you struggle or upset brings me tears. I love you so so much Alisha and we are here for you and we will wait for even years for you to upload if that brings you happiness 💓💓💓
the QUALITY of this video???? obsessing over all the details, wow! I really LOVE the editing on this one, it's insane. I even stopped the vid to write this comment bc i didn't wanna miss one bit of it
This was everything. You have been such an inspiration for everyone from your younger audience to even those of us who have grown up watching you! I've been watching you since I was in 7th grade and now I am in college still watching and supporting your content! We will all always be here for you and your journey!
You've changed my life back in 2009 when I first found you. Here we are today & I'm proud of the person you've turned into & looking forward to what more you have to offer to the world 🥰
Honestly, i know the struggle, ive been watched Alisha since roomy prank wars, since then i fell in love with her content and seeing the journey she has went through up to now where she has a podcast, business and merch! Alisha you are doing amazing and dont be pressured to be NEEDING to find a good content idea. Do what you love, go with the flow, but dont give up! You can do this and we all believe in you! xx
Literally love this style for the main channel, but I feel like you don’t give yourself enough credit. You work SOOOOO hard on you vlogs, podcast, and multiple BUSINESSES!!!!!!! You are doing fine Lidaaaaaa❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for being you and thank you for being a role model to me and soooooo many people. I learned so much about myself by watching you and remi and the whole squad. So thank you for simply being YOU, A hard working boss bitch ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for the NYC content since your IG stories 👏 The creative drain is totally understandable. 14+ years is a LONG freaking time. Happy for you that you’re taking the time for yourself to refresh ❤️
wow Alisha, this video is so real, just letting you know we love you and will no matter what, if you quit RUclips, if you carry on, if you change, it doesn't matter
Not me crying rn 🥺🥺😭 Alisha, this was such a wonderful video. Thank you for feeling open about sharing your journey. While we have different lives, I feel you for feeling burnt out on life in general - keep doing what's best for you girl and we will always support!! Btw loved the style of this video ❤️ xoxo
I know this is a real life emotional video and I greatly appreciate the vulnerability your showing. Aside from that, the VIDEOGRAPHY and EDITING!!! From the cuts to the music!!! It’s just amazing, you do have a lot of talent, never doubt yourself!!!! It’s a wonderful video, your skills are top!!
BIG TIME Casey Neistat vibes in this one!! LOVE this! I totally relate to falling out of love but also missing that creative outlet. Your journey is incredible and you inspire an entire generation of creators! Thank you for being so real and open. Excited to see where you go from here! 💜
I've only been watching you for the past few years (pandemiiii discoveries ftw), BUT the difference I see in you when you're at TKs place, downtown, in a really urban area, the way you talk about it, perk up... It's just been so obvious to me that you're meant to be living in a dense urban area, surrounded by just bumpin' LYFE 24/7, everything in walking distance, smaller place to yourself, etc. I hope so much you make that leap for yourself because girl you legitimately have been dreaming and talking about that change for forever even if you don't realize it and when you're in that type of scenario you come to life, your confidence perks, you have a swag and a happiness and genuine calm serenity and that inner childlike glee and wonder comes up and you deserve that so freakin' much so let yourself have it. We'll all still be here following and loving it whatever your new passions are and so will your sis and bffs! Promise.
First I want to mention how much I love not only your content but your personality! In any industry, there are so many expectations set on people that are not unachievable but definitely overwhelming. I wanted to drop out of my fashion program in my first and second year because I was struggling with mental health and thought it was not meant for me. I stuck with it through the help of my support system and therapy and I am now finishing up my final assignment and will be graduating this year. I can say today, it was worth the struggle, but as a creative, I am burnt out and have decided to take a few months to myself and work at my part-time job until I am ready to start something new. Alisha, I love your videos and would like to encourage you to take life at your pace and not the pace society is yelling at you to take. The creator of all things, our heavenly father is also a creator and still rested on the seventh day, and created everything in perfect timing. I believe in you girl, and will support you in everything you create :)
I love how your so open on being depressed and feeling down , any yotuber would fake it and pretend there super happy at New York but ur so raw and real and show how u truely are feeling like this video
easier said than done but you just have to try to remember that nobody is forcing you to post on this channel, we’re all here because we love you and we’re all going to be here whether you post regularly, once every few months, or never :)
Loved hearing you speak on this & sharing your thoughts! I've worked in content creation for 10 years a social strategist and this last year I have felt SO depressed, burnt out, and unsure of my creative capabilities. I left a toxic job last year where my boss literally would tell me I wasn't a creative person & now I'm sitting here almost believing it. Plus if you're in just the marketing world of things getting a job is SO HARD!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLOAD! IM PROUD OF YOU FOR YOUR SELF DISCOVERY. AND YOU GOT THIS. you’re not alone, thank you for being more open about your emotions and sharing your personal experiences
As you age you grow mentally, emotionally, etc. you find new interests, you find yourself doing new things & I love how transparent you’ve been as you’ve grown & I thank you🤍take a trip every month or every 2-4 months to refocus & revenged your creativity.
I totally understand what you’re feeling! Am I a RUclipsr? No. Am I a content creator? No. But I am 34 and totally changed careers between 29-30. I quit my great job with the government with retirement, insurance, and money to travel to work in ministry and now in mental health. I cannot understand how you feel as an influencer or content creator, but I do understand growing older and realizing that you want more in life and what you are currently doing doesn’t fit anymore. Search for what makes you feel joy and leaves a legacy of love and kindness behind. Our parents’ generation got one job and worked it until retirement, but that’s not how is works anymore. The question that kept coming back to me was “what am I putting into this world?” Find something that matters to you then put your whole heart into it 💛
So glad to know u r doing well! Being a creative person and experiencing burnout is something a lot of us can relate to. I really loved the style of this video and I think you're really talented at video creating. Ur style of cinematography and editing can definitely head further in the direction it went in this video. The cool transitions and all these elements (like the makeup clicks in grwm scenes) r super cool. And we know u'll do more awesome things that ur passionate ab! Take care and enjoy the process. As a small content creator myself, I found this video very inspiring. Much love! xo
I am OBSESSED with the cinematography of this video. The way it is filmed and edited. And I love that you are so real and open in this video. It's videos like this that makes me stay and watch your videos. As fun as your other videos are (and I still love them), this is one of my favourites. (Also, this lowkey reminds me of when Emma Chamberlain always went to New York by herself.)
Honeyyyyy 👏 It is ok to struggle and if it makes you feel better you have made me realize that I am not alone and I am sure that this is the same for so many people! And I mean it’s not like you have abandoned us... you upload vlogs, pretty basic, parallel, Instagram, tiktok... giiiirl I applaud you and you should too 💘 Love you so much, please take care of yourself 💕
You talking about having a passion and doing it for most of you life and then stopping hit me HARD. The identity crisis really took a toll on my mental health. Other influences could have been graduating high school and dealing with the pandemic but going into my third year of university is scary and weird. Time is precious. Thank you for this video!
No matter how long you have a break , I’ll be waiting. Gurl trust me filming and editing a video takes a lot of time , I’m so proud of you no matter what ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly wish I could give you a hug. You got this girl! We all go through burnout but it just makes us stronger and better. Regardless of what you post or dont post we'll love you either way! Just keep creating what makes YOU happy!❤❤
Omgg!! This is the time I realize that life is full with coincidences. You joined RUclips that day I was born and your my favorite creator for like 4 years
I would love to see you living alone in an apartment or something. Maybe even next to your sister, but I think It would be super great for you to change your lifestyle outside RUclips and start a life project like... Decorating the entire house as you wish, creating your own independient routine... And then cross the street and visiting your friends and sister. I don't know haha I just feel this is going to be your next step. On the other hand, sometimes I think about why big RUclipsrs didn't try to get retire earlier and became free of this stressful life. I would do it ahha Happy week and best regards from Spain!

@@sparklejumpropequeen667 there are RUclipsrs whom have quit even though it was their main source of income. Jenna Marbles and Tyler Oakley are two examples I can think of.
Girl I saw the notification for this video and immediately clicked on it, I realized I hadn’t seen one of your videos in so long THIS gave ME deja vou lol. I remember I binge watched your videos in middle school and even halfway through high school, you are just so funny and I love your personality. I totally understand feeling burnt out and dealing with mental health, I’ve been the same way with trying to juggle college and work. Just do what you love and take care!❤️❤️ Whatever you put out I’ll be watching!
Alisha, I’m a competitive gymnast and I completely understand what you’re getting through. What we both need…. Is time. Take it easy, live your life, and you’ll find your passion again, even if it’s not RUclips anymore… we will support you til the end Sending virtual support 🥰
so weird because literally feel like giving up my channel causs my growth has just been on a downward spiral. But this reminded me to continue cause i love it
I relate to this so much, and I’m noticing more and more people have been feeling lost lately. And the fact that you called it a “new chapter” made me realize that’s exactly how it feels, and as scary as it is, that shouldn’t be a bad or scary thing. Thank you for sharing your truth, I feel less alone.
Ahh Alisha I’ve been here 7 years watching you! I’ve watched you while laughing, crying, having a breakdown😂 every emotion You’ve helped me with you inspire me everyday! Love you so much queen so glade your back x
you have me happy chills Alisha. the aura of this video was so different. subconsciously, i look upto you so much. i consider myself a creative person, and I'm already facing a burnout after 2yrs of recognising it. but one thing i know for sure is, i do wamna take a creative path and i know i can make a living. all the efforts i put in today for my mental health will surely guide the future me ;) im writing this so that one fine day, I'll come back to this video and check what I've told myself
Its ok to feel the way ur feeling cuz TBH everyones lost rn . BUT I LOVEEEEEE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ALISHA AND WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU, LETS HOPE WE ALL FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS FEELING.
MY FAVORITE ALISHA VIDEO! We love it when you can just be yourself, and as people going through our life journeys, it is so wonderful to see you going through the same thing. I for one would love to be along for the ride of watching your identity journey.
as hard as it is, it’s SO important for you to remember that this channel is for you, not for your viewers. your mental health comes first. it’s something that I’m definitely struggling with as well, but we are all in this together. focusing on self-appreciation is a journey that’s tough but well worth it. i love you.
You are seriously my favorite person ever and I’m so proud of you for starting this journey with yourself, you honestly expressed yourself so beautifully and I love so so much
This video was so raw and relaxing and entertaining like I love this style of video! That aside we love you Alisha and thanks for being so open with us ❤️ sorry you go through so much like I could never deal with the pressure
ik absolutely love how this vlog was just put together. like everything about this video has me in awe. i hope that u continue to find inspiration for this channel. love everything absolutely everything and you.
Just wow. 😍😱 And yes that’s a wow in a good way. What an amazing video that was. I was so heavily invested. I understood the message right away and yeah I hope you find what this new chapter will look like. MANIFEST GIRRRLLL !!!! Okay love you bye 😋
Alisha, i just want to add that we love your vlogs so much. Don't feel pressure to put out content on your main channel if you don't believe in - in fact I would love to even just watch vlogs and see how you live your life! Focus on the pod, parallel and whatever else makes you happy :))
i love you so much alisha. i've been watching your videos for almost a decade now and like you said here i grew up with you and have just always vibed so much with you, and i think that's because we are both INFJ's. i know exactly what it's like to fall out of love with your passion that is your entire life and it is so scary. it happened to me with music and like you with this channel, this is the longest i've ever gone EVER without playing my clarinet. it is breaking my heart and i don't know what to do. but we will always be here for you and take your time doing what is best for you.
Glad you're doing well Alisha! Honestly everyone needs a break for better motivation in doing there tasks. If you're going through hard times and want to talk about it with someone then I suggest therapy... Dont worry you're not alone this year life has made people less motivational and tired from everything. Which sucks so much. I just wish you all good luck and never give up although it seems easy. ☺️
STOPPPP because I remember that video AND that picture of all the OG RUclips girls oh my goodness my heart is MELTINGGGGG!!! How sweet and nostalgic UGH! 🥺 It is okay to rest and you shouldn't ever feel the need to explain yourself completely 💗 I love growing up with you, Alisha! Much love 💜
It’s not just influencers who are burnt out. It’s the whole world, people who don’t have the luxury of flying to New York City. I don’t understand the life of an influencer, but what I do know is that you and others are extremely privileged in this society. You have to ability to not do your job and still get paid more than a persons salary.
Well said. Who is she influencing anyway? Anyone with half a brain wouldn't take any notice of these drama queens they are all like clones of eachother too.
Alisha oh my freaking goodness!! Seeing all of those clips made me so nostalgic because i truly have grown up with you! You were the first person i subscribed to back in 2015 when i got my first ever phone and seeing your content and personal growth has been more than words can ever say. You are truly the light in so many peoples lives no matter whether you upload twice a year or twice a month, and we all love and support you so much!!!
I appreciate you opening up about burnout and mental health of other and newer creators as well. It’s SUCH an important message you’re such an inspiration for me❤️
Been here for YEARS of you growing and changing over time. I think you said it best yourself, trust yourself. You will lead yourself to the best possibly outcome and what’s meant to be will always be. I think it’s super normal to have these times especially when you’ve been creating for as long as you have. Trust the process and enjoy the journey of it all💘
I have been growing with you since 2014 and you are the only youtuber that I have continued to follow since. It feels like I have connected with you all throughout, even this feeling lost in life season! I love all the content you have put throughout the years because of how you put so much into it either your main or vlog channel. Love you queen! Don't pressure too much on yourself, you have already done great in this aspect of your life and we are proud of you. Love lots.
I honestly this is the most real I have ever seen you and I have been subscribed since schoolisha days loll so been around a while. I know your content wont always be a video like this cause that's not realistic and I'm just one person of thousands so my one opinion is small compared to the majority but these videos and you being this version of yourself more is so refreshing to watch and I would love to see more of this. I know so many people relate and even you just talking about more real relatable shit you go through and providing advice would be amazing. as someone who has watched for so long and grown up watching you, I would love the advice from someone I actually believe and stand behind. I loved the vid:)
honestly i absolutely love this style of laidback video, i’m so glad you realize your viewers grew up with you and don’t want to see the old day vids (although we do miss them!) i think this is why your channel will always grow, you’re really smart for that
So good to see your face lady. Thank you for being honest and WHATEVER you want to share will be Awesome to watch. As long as it's something you feel good about!
This resonated so deep with me. I’ve felt lost for the past few months but can’t exactly figure out why. I finally graduated college and started a dream job. Got a new puppy which is basically my baby. But still feel completely isolated from life and everyone around me. Everyone else is able to live life and I’m just stuck. It’s been hard mentally, emotionally and even physically. Just really needed this video to realize I’m not alone 💜
Been your fan since 2013. I've seen you with your pink room to watching schoolisha every school year and how this channel have grown. So proud of what you've accomplished. Just know we're just here, always. Cheers to change & new possibilities! ♡
Girl, I'm so proud of you and look how far you have come! It's okay to feel the way you do. I want you to know that you are valid and not alone. I'm rooting for you!
I just really honestly love how open and honest you are with all the behind the scenes stuff that goes into to making a RUclips video and how it can make you feel love you and your realness so much!!
Yeah.. the “between projects” blues. Always happiest when something’s on the burner.. Keep an open mind. Understand how much is beyond your control, and be at peace with it. A phenomena is a perfect storm of circumstances. Talent is only a small part of it. Give yourself a break!
We are the same I feel after watching you for years. I want to give you some hope. Today I am free of anxiety and depression and found love and sooo much more towards the end of 28. I have a huge feeling it’s going to happen for you as well!!!
I grew up watching you. You inspired me to do well in school and take control of my life and just be happy with my own progress. I grew up in a poor neighborhood in Papua New Guinea and now I'm doing University in the U.S. Watching your videos really changed my outlook in life. Love you so much Alicia! Keep being you ❤
THIS VIDE SLAYED THE HOUSE DOWN BOOTS...THE EDITING....IMMACULATE
14 years is so long and if you think about it like a traditional job, people don't stay in the same job or industry for that long! It's impressive how you've been on here for that long and have built this community. I'm excited to see what is up ahead
an opinion from the point of view of a youtuber with 2 channels… I totally understand!! but also I wish you remember that running even one channel is so much work by itself, let alone two + a podcast, a business, merch and so much more that you are doing. I’ve been a supporter of your content for such a long time now and I’m so proud of everything you’ve achieved…. You really truly deserve a break whenever you need it because u’ve been giving us enough content every single day for SO long. 💛
I've been watching you since 2013, that sentence alone sounds creepy. I've fallen in and out of love with your channel over the years. But you've always been a great RUclipsr. Maybe it's time for some fresh content and a new start

I absolutely love how raw and honest you are being and the style this video was edited in is so fresh and clean and just all around amazing. Keep being you and crushing it
I don’t know if you will see this but I freaking LOVE you Alisha! No matter if you were going to not post for a year or you could post every day, I would watch your videos. It is completely okay that sometimes you grow out of things or just need a better headspace with certain things❤️
I Second the notion 🙌
Let’s just say you even liking my comment just made my pregnant ass cry. I’m excited to see what you upload, no matter what it is❤️❤️
Your comment pin points legit how I feel about RUclips. I will watch those I appreciate and enjoy. I guess that’s where we’re at in life.
Agree 💯
THIS
but for real, if this style of editing is the "new era" im into it!!! it gives storytelling vlogs style
Alisha... I am 23 and I've been watching you since probably 2014 when I was 15. I met you and Remi separately I think in 2017, at Black Friday at the brea mall before you two had even really became best friends.

i can’t believe i’ve been watching you my literal whole life. 14 years. i feel like we all grew up watching alisha and everyone else and to watch you be so true and honest is so encouraging for people in their mid 20s who are also so confused about life and what to do. you’re an inspiration. take the break. take a trip. do what YOU need because that’s all that matters. i love you
Girl, this is 29. As a mid-30something (lol), I can PROMISE you that anyone who’s sensitive, aware of their surroundings and mental health, will go through this in their late 20s. Lean into it as much as you can and try to remind yourself that it won’t always be this uncomfy. You will learn more about yourself in this era of your life than you EVER have up until this point.

I am 30 and I second this!! A loottt of difficulty in my late 20s and learned SO much about myself!
As someone in their late 20s, I needed to hear this. Thank you 💕
I'm also 29 and experiencing this haaaaard so thank you for this. Really thank you.
27 here and its crazy how abnormal this is .growing up your put this picture perfect life of your graduate highschool then college then the job you want .and its not even close (to all) so i feel like thats why we struggle in our 20s because we realize so much and reality hits ❤️ im so happy she took this trip solo and really taking the time to open her eyes on what SHE wants and needs in her life
@@mamiedition totally normal! Late 20s are hard but getting through it to the other side is so worth it.
I feel you babe I didn't post for a year but I jus started again and I love being on RUclips and I love my fam 💗
Sending so much love! This is NOT a flop era!!!
have been here since 2014 and you are the ONLY RUclipsr I just know I will NEVER unsubscribe... I feel like I've grown up with you and I want to keep growing with you. You're like the older sister I never had and I will stay by your side and support you as long as I can!
Yes support :)
I relate to this so hard! I can’t imagine not getting excited every time I see she’s uploaded.
Honestly, this vulnerability is way nicer to see than some staged video or a challenge video. Just seeing the comfort, and almost like seeing this video as a sigh of relief from Alisha.
I want to start off with saying I love you. I have followed you since 2014 and when you came up with the bae's place song for Starbucks. I have followed you since those back to school videos, videos with Mia and Eva and Sierra. I have followed you ever since you moved with Ashley to the apartment before you moved to the house you live in now, and of course I've seen the moving vlogs and home decor vlogs when you moved to this house. You have inspired me for years, and most importantly, you have been there for me through my depression and suicidal periods of my life. You are, and have been one of the very glimpses of happiness in my life. You don't know this, but you are one of my biggest inspirations. I also take medication for my mental health and it's nothing wrong with that and I love that you are open with that. I have always believed in you, and I will continue on doing that. I'm so proud of you, truly. I'm excited and proud to follow you on this new chapter in your life. Thank you, Alisha. For giving me life, giving me happiness, and for being you.
Btw I had a fanpage account on Instagram for you years ago but I can't remember the username haha!
Totally get where you’re coming from! Im at a stage in life where I’m graduating from university in a few months and have absolutely no clue what’s next for me, which honestly terrifies me because I don’t have that linear direction anymore like i’ve had the past 22 years. I’ve decided to take kinda like a gap year to “figure my sh*t out” and I’ve changed my perspective to take it slow and not rush any decisions based on societal pressures. Everyone is on their own timeline and I think it’s enlightening to accept that because at the end of the day your happiness and well-being matters 💕It may be scary in the moment but I trust everything works out in the end.
Girl👏🏻 you are HUMAN...we mess up, we get stressed, we have ISSUES!! you are doing great and you are such a good influence to SO many, I appreciate you taking the time to even do a video like this. God has plans for us all, we may not understand why some things happen the way they do or why we have the issues that we have, but HE DOES, He will not put more on you than you can handle! You are such a strong woman and you are allowed to take time off, even with no explanation to anyone! Your TRUE supporters will be here when you are ready! Pray for strength when you don't feel strong enough, GOD WILL GET YOU THROUGH IT....no matter how hard it may seem at the moment... you will look back and see one day it was just a tiny obstacle, and YOU GOT OVER IT!! praying for you girly😘 stay strong, you got this🙏🏻
God loves us all guys. Amen❤
Thank you, I needed to hear this! Amen ❤🙏🏻
I was 10 years old when I started watching you and I turned 18 last month you have literally felt like a friend or a big sister to me and watching you struggle or upset brings me tears. I love you so so much Alisha and we are here for you and we will wait for even years for you to upload if that brings you happiness 💓💓💓
the QUALITY of this video???? obsessing over all the details, wow! I really LOVE the editing on this one, it's insane. I even stopped the vid to write this comment bc i didn't wanna miss one bit of it
love you so much Alisha, really appreciate how real you've been, thank you for working so hard for us all !!
I love you so much! You inspired me, Thankyou for this video. Love from Mexico
loving how much more real you’ve been
I'm obsessed with this video and would love to see more of this kind of content.
This was everything. You have been such an inspiration for everyone from your younger audience to even those of us who have grown up watching you! I've been watching you since I was in 7th grade and now I am in college still watching and supporting your content! We will all always be here for you and your journey!
Oh my gosh, Alisha. I’m in LOVE with this vibe.
The honesty, your naturalness, your tone everything. I LOVE this for you!
You've changed my life back in 2009 when I first found you. Here we are today & I'm proud of the person you've turned into & looking forward to what more you have to offer to the world 🥰
Great message 💜😊
Hi dental digest
Honestly, i know the struggle, ive been watched Alisha since roomy prank wars, since then i fell in love with her content and seeing the journey she has went through up to now where she has a podcast, business and merch! Alisha you are doing amazing and dont be pressured to be NEEDING to find a good content idea. Do what you love, go with the flow, but dont give up! You can do this and we all believe in you! xx
Something about this video just elevated you so much and the editing is next level.
Literally love this style for the main channel, but I feel like you don’t give yourself enough credit. You work SOOOOO hard on you vlogs, podcast, and multiple BUSINESSES!!!!!!! You are doing fine Lidaaaaaa❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for being you and thank you for being a role model to me and soooooo many people. I learned so much about myself by watching you and remi and the whole squad. So thank you for simply being YOU, A hard working boss bitch ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️
Exactly my point 👏❤️
I’ve been waiting for the NYC content since your IG stories 👏 The creative drain is totally understandable. 14+ years is a LONG freaking time. Happy for you that you’re taking the time for yourself to refresh ❤️
i feel that taking a solo trip is a necessity once in a while, almost like a self check
wow Alisha, this video is so real, just letting you know we love you and will no matter what, if you quit RUclips, if you carry on, if you change, it doesn't matter
Not me crying rn 🥺🥺😭
Alisha, this was such a wonderful video. Thank you for feeling open about sharing your journey. While we have different lives, I feel you for feeling burnt out on life in general - keep doing what's best for you girl and we will always support!!
Btw loved the style of this video ❤️ xoxo
I know this is a real life emotional video and I greatly appreciate the vulnerability your showing. Aside from that, the VIDEOGRAPHY and EDITING!!! From the cuts to the music!!! It’s just amazing, you do have a lot of talent, never doubt yourself!!!! It’s a wonderful video, your skills are top!!
BIG TIME Casey Neistat vibes in this one!! LOVE this! I totally relate to falling out of love but also missing that creative outlet. Your journey is incredible and you inspire an entire generation of creators! Thank you for being so real and open. Excited to see where you go from here! 💜
Didn't expect to see my guy Matty on this random video I clicked on lol
Tp
I've only been watching you for the past few years (pandemiiii discoveries ftw), BUT the difference I see in you when you're at TKs place, downtown, in a really urban area, the way you talk about it, perk up... It's just been so obvious to me that you're meant to be living in a dense urban area, surrounded by just bumpin' LYFE 24/7, everything in walking distance, smaller place to yourself, etc. I hope so much you make that leap for yourself because girl you legitimately have been dreaming and talking about that change for forever even if you don't realize it and when you're in that type of scenario you come to life, your confidence perks, you have a swag and a happiness and genuine calm serenity and that inner childlike glee and wonder comes up and you deserve that so freakin' much so let yourself have it. We'll all still be here following and loving it whatever your new passions are and so will your sis and bffs! Promise.
the title of this video itself made me feel better, cause same here alisha same here
First I want to mention how much I love not only your content but your personality!
In any industry, there are so many expectations set on people that are not unachievable but definitely overwhelming. I wanted to drop out of my fashion program in my first and second year because I was struggling with mental health and thought it was not meant for me. I stuck with it through the help of my support system and therapy and I am now finishing up my final assignment and will be graduating this year. I can say today, it was worth the struggle, but as a creative, I am burnt out and have decided to take a few months to myself and work at my part-time job until I am ready to start something new. Alisha, I love your videos and would like to encourage you to take life at your pace and not the pace society is yelling at you to take. The creator of all things, our heavenly father is also a creator and still rested on the seventh day, and created everything in perfect timing. I believe in you girl, and will support you in everything you create :)
I took a solo trip to nyc as well back in 2019 when I was feeling lost and sad! Came back feeling completely inspired, empowered and confident
I love how your so open on being depressed and feeling down , any yotuber would fake it and pretend there super happy at New York but ur so raw and real and show how u truely are feeling like this video
easier said than done but you just have to try to remember that nobody is forcing you to post on this channel, we’re all here because we love you and we’re all going to be here whether you post regularly, once every few months, or never :)
Been following your journey since the beginning, from seeing you at girls night in to now. I love love love you & your content!!!
Loved hearing you speak on this & sharing your thoughts! I've worked in content creation for 10 years a social strategist and this last year I have felt SO depressed, burnt out, and unsure of my creative capabilities. I left a toxic job last year where my boss literally would tell me I wasn't a creative person & now I'm sitting here almost believing it. Plus if you're in just the marketing world of things getting a job is SO HARD!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLOAD! IM PROUD OF YOU FOR YOUR SELF DISCOVERY. AND YOU GOT THIS. you’re not alone, thank you for being more open about your emotions and sharing your personal experiences
As you age you grow mentally, emotionally, etc. you find new interests, you find yourself doing new things & I love how transparent you’ve been as you’ve grown & I thank you🤍take a trip every month or every 2-4 months to refocus & revenged your creativity.
I totally understand what you’re feeling! Am I a RUclipsr? No. Am I a content creator? No. But I am 34 and totally changed careers between 29-30. I quit my great job with the government with retirement, insurance, and money to travel to work in ministry and now in mental health. I cannot understand how you feel as an influencer or content creator, but I do understand growing older and realizing that you want more in life and what you are currently doing doesn’t fit anymore. Search for what makes you feel joy and leaves a legacy of love and kindness behind. Our parents’ generation got one job and worked it until retirement, but that’s not how is works anymore. The question that kept coming back to me was “what am I putting into this world?” Find something that matters to you then put your whole heart into it 💛
I’m happy to see you just Vlog . They are so good ! Especially if that is easier for you ! ❤️❤️
So glad to know u r doing well! Being a creative person and experiencing burnout is something a lot of us can relate to. I really loved the style of this video and I think you're really talented at video creating. Ur style of cinematography and editing can definitely head further in the direction it went in this video. The cool transitions and all these elements (like the makeup clicks in grwm scenes) r super cool. And we know u'll do more awesome things that ur passionate ab! Take care and enjoy the process. As a small content creator myself, I found this video very inspiring. Much love! xo
I am OBSESSED with the cinematography of this video. The way it is filmed and edited. And I love that you are so real and open in this video. It's videos like this that makes me stay and watch your videos. As fun as your other videos are (and I still love them), this is one of my favourites.
(Also, this lowkey reminds me of when Emma Chamberlain always went to New York by herself.)
Honeyyyyy 👏 It is ok to struggle and if it makes you feel better you have made me realize that I am not alone and I am sure that this is the same for so many people! And I mean it’s not like you have abandoned us... you upload vlogs, pretty basic, parallel, Instagram, tiktok... giiiirl I applaud you and you should too 💘 Love you so much, please take care of yourself 💕
You talking about having a passion and doing it for most of you life and then stopping hit me HARD. The identity crisis really took a toll on my mental health. Other influences could have been graduating high school and dealing with the pandemic but going into my third year of university is scary and weird. Time is precious. Thank you for this video!
No matter how long you have a break , I’ll be waiting. Gurl trust me filming and editing a video takes a lot of time , I’m so proud of you no matter what ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love you being a confident queen travelling by yourself ❤️✨
Honestly wish I could give you a hug. You got this girl! We all go through burnout but it just makes us stronger and better. Regardless of what you post or dont post we'll love you either way! Just keep creating what makes YOU happy!❤❤
Omgg!! This is the time I realize that life is full with coincidences. You joined RUclips that day I was born and your my favorite creator for like 4 years
I would love to see you living alone in an apartment or something. Maybe even next to your sister, but I think It would be super great for you to change your lifestyle outside RUclips and start a life project like... Decorating the entire house as you wish, creating your own independient routine... And then cross the street and visiting your friends and sister. I don't know haha I just feel this is going to be your next step. On the other hand, sometimes I think about why big RUclipsrs didn't try to get retire earlier and became free of this stressful life. I would do it ahha Happy week and best regards from Spain!
"creating your own independent routine" YESSS I agree completely with this. This can definitely make such a difference
Girl she is not gonna quit RUclips that is her main source of income
@@sparklejumpropequeen667 there is a point in life where you don't need more incomes to survive like other mortals HAHAH
✝️ *LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN!*
✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin!
🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life!
💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!
@@sparklejumpropequeen667 there are RUclipsrs whom have quit even though it was their main source of income. Jenna Marbles and Tyler Oakley are two examples I can think of.
Girl I saw the notification for this video and immediately clicked on it, I realized I hadn’t seen one of your videos in so long THIS gave ME deja vou lol. I remember I binge watched your videos in middle school and even halfway through high school, you are just so funny and I love your personality. I totally understand feeling burnt out and dealing with mental health, I’ve been the same way with trying to juggle college and work. Just do what you love and take care!❤️❤️ Whatever you put out I’ll be watching!
Alisha, I’m a competitive gymnast and I completely understand what you’re getting through. What we both need…. Is time.
Take it easy, live your life, and you’ll find your passion again, even if it’s not RUclips anymore… we will support you til the end
Sending virtual support 🥰
so weird because literally feel like giving up my channel causs my growth has just been on a downward spiral. But this reminded me to continue cause i love it
we love you. which ever direction you go, the real ones will support you.
I relate to this so much, and I’m noticing more and more people have been feeling lost lately. And the fact that you called it a “new chapter” made me realize that’s exactly how it feels, and as scary as it is, that shouldn’t be a bad or scary thing. Thank you for sharing your truth, I feel less alone.
Ahh Alisha I’ve been here 7 years watching you! I’ve watched you while laughing, crying, having a breakdown😂 every emotion You’ve helped me with you inspire me everyday! Love you so much queen so glade your back x
you have me happy chills Alisha. the aura of this video was so different. subconsciously, i look upto you so much. i consider myself a creative person, and I'm already facing a burnout after 2yrs of recognising it. but one thing i know for sure is, i do wamna take a creative path and i know i can make a living. all the efforts i put in today for my mental health will surely guide the future me ;)
im writing this so that one fine day, I'll come back to this video and check what I've told myself
Its ok to feel the way ur feeling cuz TBH everyones lost rn . BUT I LOVEEEEEE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ALISHA AND WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU, LETS HOPE WE ALL FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS FEELING.
MY FAVORITE ALISHA VIDEO! We love it when you can just be yourself, and as people going through our life journeys, it is so wonderful to see you going through the same thing. I for one would love to be along for the ride of watching your identity journey.
as hard as it is, it’s SO important for you to remember that this channel is for you, not for your viewers. your mental health comes first. it’s something that I’m definitely struggling with as well, but we are all in this together. focusing on self-appreciation is a journey that’s tough but well worth it. i love you.
You are seriously my favorite person ever and I’m so proud of you for starting this journey with yourself, you honestly expressed yourself so beautifully and I love so so much
This video was so raw and relaxing and entertaining like I love this style of video! That aside we love you Alisha and thanks for being so open with us ❤️ sorry you go through so much like I could never deal with the pressure
Love your honesty and analysis in this video! Also LOVE the editing for this vid too xx
ik absolutely love how this vlog was just put together. like everything about this video has me in awe. i hope that u continue to find inspiration for this channel. love everything absolutely everything and you.
Just wow. 😍😱 And yes that’s a wow in a good way. What an amazing video that was. I was so heavily invested. I understood the message right away and yeah I hope you find what this new chapter will look like.
MANIFEST GIRRRLLL !!!!
Okay love you bye 😋
I’ve been following you for years… and this is my favorite video/formatting I’ve seen 💜 also please come to Boston 🥲😅
I literally love you. Please never stop creating we love you
Alisha, i just want to add that we love your vlogs so much. Don't feel pressure to put out content on your main channel if you don't believe in - in fact I would love to even just watch vlogs and see how you live your life! Focus on the pod, parallel and whatever else makes you happy :))
I’m so happy you posted we love you so much
Early!!!! I literally love u queen you just inspire me so much and it would mean the world if you replied
i love you so much alisha. i've been watching your videos for almost a decade now and like you said here i grew up with you and have just always vibed so much with you, and i think that's because we are both INFJ's. i know exactly what it's like to fall out of love with your passion that is your entire life and it is so scary. it happened to me with music and like you with this channel, this is the longest i've ever gone EVER without playing my clarinet. it is breaking my heart and i don't know what to do. but we will always be here for you and take your time doing what is best for you.
Glad you're doing well Alisha! Honestly everyone needs a break for better motivation in doing there tasks. If you're going through hard times and want to talk about it with someone then I suggest therapy... Dont worry you're not alone this year life has made people less motivational and tired from everything. Which sucks so much. I just wish you all good luck and never give up although it seems easy. ☺️
STOPPPP because I remember that video AND that picture of all the OG RUclips girls oh my goodness my heart is MELTINGGGGG!!! How sweet and nostalgic UGH! 🥺 It is okay to rest and you shouldn't ever feel the need to explain yourself completely 💗 I love growing up with you, Alisha! Much love 💜
It’s not just influencers who are burnt out. It’s the whole world, people who don’t have the luxury of flying to New York City. I don’t understand the life of an influencer, but what I do know is that you and others are extremely privileged in this society. You have to ability to not do your job and still get paid more than a persons salary.
fr
Well said.
Who is she influencing anyway? Anyone with half a brain wouldn't take any notice of these drama queens they are all like clones of eachother too.
she talks about how privileged and grateful she is all the time. anyone is allowed to be burnt out regardless of how much they make.
Jealous, much?
Alisha oh my freaking goodness!! Seeing all of those clips made me so nostalgic because i truly have grown up with you! You were the first person i subscribed to back in 2015 when i got my first ever phone and seeing your content and personal growth has been more than words can ever say. You are truly the light in so many peoples lives no matter whether you upload twice a year or twice a month, and we all love and support you so much!!!
Hey if your reading this Jesus loves you!
I appreciate you opening up about burnout and mental health of other and newer creators as well. It’s SUCH an important message you’re such an inspiration for me❤️
Been here for YEARS of you growing and changing over time. I think you said it best yourself, trust yourself. You will lead yourself to the best possibly outcome and what’s meant to be will always be. I think it’s super normal to have these times especially when you’ve been creating for as long as you have. Trust the process and enjoy the journey of it all💘
I have been growing with you since 2014 and you are the only youtuber that I have continued to follow since. It feels like I have connected with you all throughout, even this feeling lost in life season! I love all the content you have put throughout the years because of how you put so much into it either your main or vlog channel. Love you queen! Don't pressure too much on yourself, you have already done great in this aspect of your life and we are proud of you. Love lots.
I honestly this is the most real I have ever seen you and I have been subscribed since schoolisha days loll so been around a while. I know your content wont always be a video like this cause that's not realistic and I'm just one person of thousands so my one opinion is small compared to the majority but these videos and you being this version of yourself more is so refreshing to watch and I would love to see more of this. I know so many people relate and even you just talking about more real relatable shit you go through and providing advice would be amazing. as someone who has watched for so long and grown up watching you, I would love the advice from someone I actually believe and stand behind. I loved the vid:)
I personally like how you compiled this video. It was natural and genuine. I honestly would love to see more content like this 🥰
I’ve watched you for ever and I still always will. You are dope never forget. Also this video and the filming style and editing style was amazing.
honestly i absolutely love this style of laidback video, i’m so glad you realize your viewers grew up with you and don’t want to see the old day vids (although we do miss them!) i think this is why your channel will always grow, you’re really smart for that
So good to see your face lady. Thank you for being honest and WHATEVER you want to share will be Awesome to watch. As long as it's something you feel good about!
This resonated so deep with me. I’ve felt lost for the past few months but can’t exactly figure out why. I finally graduated college and started a dream job. Got a new puppy which is basically my baby. But still feel completely isolated from life and everyone around me. Everyone else is able to live life and I’m just stuck. It’s been hard mentally, emotionally and even physically. Just really needed this video to realize I’m not alone 💜
Literally love you so much I missed you. The happiness after this notification>
i love this video style Alisha, it’s so real/raw but also peaceful and comforting
Been your fan since 2013. I've seen you with your pink room to watching schoolisha every school year and how this channel have grown. So proud of what you've accomplished. Just know we're just here, always. Cheers to change & new possibilities! ♡
Girl, I'm so proud of you and look how far you have come! It's okay to feel the way you do. I want you to know that you are valid and not alone. I'm rooting for you!
I just really honestly love how open and honest you are with all the behind the scenes stuff that goes into to making a RUclips video and how it can make you feel love you and your realness so much!!
Yeah.. the “between projects” blues. Always happiest when something’s on the burner.. Keep an open mind. Understand how much is beyond your control, and be at peace with it. A phenomena is a perfect storm of circumstances. Talent is only a small part of it. Give yourself a break!
this is my new comfort video. Ive watched your for so long and I have literally grown up with u.
We are the same I feel after watching you for years. I want to give you some hope. Today I am free of anxiety and depression and found love and sooo much more towards the end of 28. I have a huge feeling it’s going to happen for you as well!!!
I grew up watching you. You inspired me to do well in school and take control of my life and just be happy with my own progress. I grew up in a poor neighborhood in Papua New Guinea and now I'm doing University in the U.S. Watching your videos really changed my outlook in life. Love you so much Alicia! Keep being you ❤
