As an old (67) empath, I know exactly what you have discovered. I was 30, moved from Seattle to the middle of nowhere in Central Oregon (Bend) in 1986. My mind became quiet for the first time in my life. I didn't realize how much crap I pick up from other people and how much I change myself when I am around people. It's ok to be alone, and many people just don't understand how much empaths need their alone time. Peace be with you, as you become Wise Woman.

Hello from Elmira, NY First time watching So glad I found you ❤ I am a 90 yr old great grandma wish I farm I do love watching the home stead channels May God continue to bless you ❤
Good afternoon, Sage You appear to be a very kind person. Stay that way. Be yourself and people can either deal with it or not. You seem to be heading in the right direction. Take care of yourself first.🌹
We are meant to be in the garden, that's where we are close to the creator, where we ground ourselves and where we feel more in tune, more comfortable! The sound of the birds, nature, wind, growing stuff, planting the seed that 1st has to die to become a beautiful plant, tending the soil to feed the plants and heal the soil, heals us in return. Playing in the dirt sort of speak is energy, peace and joy and we need that! God bless you Sage! 🤗🤗🙏💕
This is so true. Sometimes I go to work 12 hours and don’t see daylight or feel wind on my face or hear birds for that long and my soul feels as though it’s dying. The way we have to live now is beyond unnatural and we are all suffering from it. The healing that comes from nature and our beautiful outdoors is the highest connection we can feel to ourselves and who we are❤
Sage, you are brave, smart and absolutely correct!! I just figured this out for myself recently and I’m sure I’m double your age. You just keep being you! 💕
I'm about 9 months into my very conscious self-discovery and healing journey and am learning a lot about dealing with my own people pleasing tendencies and taking care of my self emotionally. I'm currently in a place where I can only container garden, but its still so magical how even that level of gardening can be healing. The ambient background sound in your video was so calming. I'm happy that you can be on your journey while stewarding that land, and I hope one day I can be in such a position as well. 🧡
Your vulnerability is so refreshing. I get the mask business. It's something every introvert struggles with when we're out in the world. Please keep sharing your thoughts. You're very inspiring. Be well.
I relate 100 percent to everything you said:) I've always been a people pleaser. I even work full-time in a helping profession lol. Yesterday I stood up for myself and advocated for myself when a colleague tried to bully me. It was so hard for me to do. Although I seemed cool and confident on the outside, Ive been worrying and stressing over it. And I literally did nothing wrong lol. Keep being authentic, doing the hard things, and just being you. You're doing great! ❤
Those who truly love you, see you. Those who don't truly love you, look through you. Your journey of discovery is yours, and yours alone. Don't let outside influences shape who you are happy being in your own skin. In the words of a famous philosopher at some point in time: "F* 'em". This is your journey in life, not theirs. Be everything you want to be and you will attract like minded people eventually. Peace, love and joy!
I understand where your coming from. I do not have the support from family members either. I have me to be my own cheerleader. I love what I do and how it fulfills me. I have always believed that they will come around or they will miss the big picture!
It's a very real moment when you can just be real with yourself, to see the parts of yourself the world hasn't appreciated, to nurture those parts that are unabashedly you, and to just shed the expectations and criticisms of the world like its rain. Good luck on this part of your personal journey!
Oh sweet girl, so beautiful in your honesty.Just be you as you are more than enough. Please know Jesus loves.you in all your challenges - highs & lows..He will be the wind in your sails & the strength to go on. You are never alone.
So grateful for you videos, Sage. When my life becomes intolerable and I feel I’ll never achieve my dreams, something about your videos restores my faith and inspiration. I have always loved your videos and appreciate your presence so very much. My little one has been in the hospital with uncontrollable seizures for over a week and watching your videos restores a sense of normalcy for me. Thank you. ❤
Life is tough for an introvert. I have 2 kids and a wife that have a hard time being around people. And 2 kids that are more like extroverts, with one that never met a stranger. Makes for a strange family dynamic. I really got into gardening a few years ago as a coping method due to things I could not control. I could not control the uncertain things in my life (my wife's health) but could control things in the garden. Helped me through the hard times. Had a hard time dealing with some people on petty things when I was facing the 3 or 4 times my wife almost died. Some people are just not worth your time. I was a youth pastor many years ago and learned pretty quickly that you can not make everyone happy.
What you say resonates with me to my core. I feel that way everyday and am in the process of trying to let go of the need for likability. Thank you for sharing your struggles and reminding others we are not an island lost at see, alone
I love this so much. I just broke up with my boyfriend, and homesteading has been a dream of mine for ages. This video helped solidify my goals with that. THANK YOU!
Also, as a therapist, I’ve seen people spend years coming to the space you’re in now. It’s a scary upheaval of life, creating waves with others while affirming your worth and setting boundaries can be incredibly scary, and I’m honest when I say not everyone experiences the necessary bravery it takes to get to where you are. Your words resonate with so many of us. Thank you for sharing your heart with us today. We all care deeply for you. You have community in us. ❤
I never had a better feeling in my heart and when I load up on Donner summit by soda springs and my backyard was the national forest I could get on my horse bareback and just go for a nice little ride it was amazing I could live forever and ever till the end of my days just talking to animals and having them as company because the people are messed up they stab you in the back they look for your money and it's terrible it's terrible out here if I was younger and better shape I would be off somewhere in the mountains doing something surviving and just enjoying the rest of my life maybe it's not too late let me think it up
Thanks for posting this, Sage. I needed to hear it near the end of a long, hard week representing my company at a trade show, with little downtime to be alone. I share your feelings of finding peace by myself at my little 'homestead' (40' x 100' lot, 3 bdrm home in suburbia with 2 veggie gardens & flower garden instead of a front yard). Tending to this land is what feeds my soul, while I slowly plan my 'escape' to establish what you have. As someone else in the comments said, "F 'em" to those who don't understand or challenge you for focusing on you. Stay positive and know you're not alone. 🕉️
It’s there problem how they feel about you or what your doing ! There gonna judge you anyway so you may as well live your life by your terms ! New subscriber here… glad I Found your channel. Future homesteader here!
Most of us don't realize we are okay just the way we are. When I was your age I felt everything was a trade-off. Time, beauty, energy in trade for space to exist. At present, I am done trading. I can just be. It is lonely some of the time, but I am trying to be done with people trying to make me who they want me to be, narcissists, and users. May you find that inner peace and your community/tribe and be blessed.
Lovely person. Reach out the God your creator. Draw closer to him and he will draw close to you. You are made to worship him. More of Him and less of you. That will fill any void.
GOOD, it is your life, NOBODY has a right to redirect what you believe and how you choose to live. Edit: Also, mental health is real, it is time people stop sweeping it under the rug. Get it out, deal with it and if it is too much, find someone who can help clean it up. You are doing great. You are (what I believe) living the perfect life to heal, then nourish mental health issues.

💯 can relate to everything said here.
Recognizing who you are is first step. Loving who you are is essential and sounds like you’re well on your way. Thanks for sharing from the heart.
You are a very brave and fearless young lady. Keep on the path that you are on joy always comes in the morning.
You realizing this at such a young age is amazing to me. It took me until just very recently (I’m 60) to realize this too.
I'm about 9 months into my very conscious self-discovery and healing journey and am learning a lot about dealing with my own people pleasing tendencies and taking care of my self emotionally.
