living alone diaries: venting about singleness, first days in my new apartment and makeup details

- hey boos 🫶🏾,
we've finally made it to moving day and i couldn't be anymore happier. this entire week has felt like one exhaustive emotional rollercoaster, but i'm happy to have made it to the other side.
Very excited that I shared a little more detailed tutorial on my clean girl makeup look. I've shared all the products below for you :)
anyways, the topic of being single has been weighing heavy on my heart lately. i'm not sure if it's the silence in my apartment that gets to me most nights, or the fact that i use work as a distraction from how sad i really do feel most days... but, i just needed to vent and release these feels because i know someone else out there might be experiencing the same.
some nights are better than others, but this one just wasn't it. regardless if you're single or taken, please take the time to check in on your single friends/family members. the smallest "how is your mental" or "how is your heart today" could help lighten such a heavy load for them.
on a brighter note, i've been getting a lot more invites to influencer/creator events with brands i absolutely love and it's giving me so much hope that i can soon live out my creator dreams full-time! i honestly couldn't have gotten to this point without the constant love and support of y'all.
thank you for showing up for me and helping me strengthen my community on the internet. you guys help get me through many nights like these, you don't even know the half.
i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

Just came across your channel. I’m a 50 year old single woman. Trust me the dating game is so hard. These men are looking for a helper, feed me, dress me..etc. Take your time, love yourself and enjoy your life. It is hard sometimes but at the end of the day you don’t want to settle for someone who is not worthy of you. Stay blessed..❤
Amen
Well said.
Very well said
Amazingly well said! I’m 35 and single, I can’t agree more.
@@maryl9432 come on get laid boo, lifes too short thou
I am so happy I found your channel..I live in Atlanta unfortunately & I'm in my early 30's & STILL haven't found my person & I have my hopeless meltdowns often because like you said ppl give you that same old advice that you been doing, the self love & focusing on yourself meanwhile they all got partners & kids so it's like you have NO idea what I'm going through so I'm learning to just stop talking about it to ppl..I just journal or cry or both😢😂 but its refreshing to know I'm not alone & I'm not wrong for having my meltdowns about being alone
Love and live your life!
What wrong with atlanta? But being alone is good because you have time for you but it also depressing because others have a partner and you are lonely just watching them be hapy and laugh😢
What you looking for
Im actually so glad I camd across you too! Im in SA, 27 and feel exactly the same way.
Same
I thank you so much for your transparency. I am a single woman living alone and I get it. But being a single woman has brought me peace. I dont want to be serial dating and giving my energy to plp who most of the time dont deserve it or appreciate it.
Come on get laid life 2 short boo
I felt all of this. Whew the loneliness is real
@@skyebarlow8798 👉🏿👗👖👈🏿
I hear that
Let me testify! 🖐️
can totally relate to singledom, 35 and have been single for pretty much the past ten years, dating definitely has not gotten easier. i've done all the loving myself and focusing on myself, mentally, physically, financially, professionally, and more, i've done the therapy, grown in my career, traveled to several countries, moved to a new city, paid off all my debt, recently purchased a home, i've done all the things. really thought i would be a wife and mother by now. idk what else to do at this point. but hey, statistically, i've avoided my first divorce, so yay i guess.
Do you know how tired i get of hearing, something must be wrong with you, b/c im 35 with no kids..
@Toni G someone told me it was a red flag bc I don't have kids. I'm like ok so I'm supposed to make lots of babies and be a single mom. Got it. I never talked to him again.
We are the same but I just turned 37. I've done the work in all areas and I'm just waiting and dating. I bought my house 7 years ago though.
@@stephanielcowart6867 men who want (more) kids think it's a red flag and that i probably can't have kids. men who don't want (more) kids think it's a red flag, because they feel that i would be pressuring them for kids since i don't have any. they honestly prefer to date single moms.
@Michelle Swanston that's honestly what it seems. Then they complain about all of the women being single mothers. I just smh at this point. I'm supposed to be a wife and mom so I'm out here being intentional while praying about it. I'm also like if you don't want kids, say that and if you do, say that too. There's more than enough women who want kids and others who don't. I'm on the want side of things myself.
Hi just came across your video and I’m married and wish I was single because my partner is not a
“partner” so my advice is really take the time to get to know the other person. Being single can be lonely but being married and lonely is another level of loneliness. It’s better to be no one than to be with the wrong one! Go out, date, meet people and your person will come at the right time.
You picked him. Modern Women are never happy!
@@youknowwasup386 yes she picked him but people don’t always show their true colors and go back on their words…….
Facts …my married friends live through my single life. They even say they are married single moms…. But a few of them do enjoy having a partner to walk through life with. It’s a beautiful thing when you’re with the right one. I’m sure you got emotionally catfished like me😀 My Child’s father turned out to be a totally different person than who I fell in love with, thank God I didn’t marry him, he wanted to but the red flags were glaring so I took my child and started living my best life, as I wait for the right one. I hope your husband and you can find healing we are all beautifully complex, hopefully it’s worth him fighting for.
Begin dating outside your race. Don't limit yourself. Black women outnumber single black men. Travel more to meet men of different cultures. Looking back. If you want to get married you have to begin to meet other men outside your race.
@@bettycade9773 Exactly. I'm getting married to a white man next year. A lovely Polish man to be exact who loves me to bits. All my ex boyfriends were black but my HUSBAND is European. Black women should date out
The first 7 mins were so real as a single person lol..one minute you are doing things that need to be done (adulting) and the crazy desire to have someone to share can be overwhelming out of nowhere! Thank you for being transparent because its not always easy to explain..
Girl I’m 40 and probably 6 months ago I found my person.. get out that house date around talk to ppl. It’s ok if it doesn’t work right then but don’t be like me. All I did was focused on work and started feeling like I needed to share my life with someone when I hit 35/36 don’t listen to that he will come to you crap and women don’t want to put in the work of finding love 😢 just don’t work to hard but most def accept applications 😂 your doing fine girly be blessed and breath
Ok I’m 51 and have always been single. Real talk when you’re in the space that you desire a mate …being single is HARD !!! PERIODT …there are not enough new spaces, girl trips, new friends, material possessions, experiences etc that will take it away. Yes you love yourself but you need that unbelievable peace in knowing that regardless of the outcome regardless of how bad I want this….. I’m going to be ok…. I will cry til my heart aches when I have to, I will seclude myself when I don’t want to be bothered and I will say no when I’m sick of being the only one in the group with no partner…. It’s ok… for me my peace I know for a fact came from Jesus see God created us for community we are not built to be alone… navigating single life is hard. If it’s what you desire keep believing keep praying keep moving through it…. I also know that I wouldn’t be who I am now if I was marriedI sooner. It’s God’s timing Dear and there is nothing we can do about that… when it’s your time it will be your time….Hang in and hang on…
i’m so glad you’re honest about wanting a partner and how much of a struggle it can be as a single girl in your mid 20s. i’m only 21 and i sometimes feel that loneliness but when i’m in a good spot i think about how instantaneous falling in love can be and how when God blesses me with the right partner i’ll be ready for it, regardless of what my prior dating experience is. i think the dating around to find what you like and don’t like is more of a cultural thing we made up tbh 😭 i feel like bad dating experiences can add to your trauma and make dating your future partner harder. i’d honestly rather be single and happy than dating and miserable because no one is fulfilling me. i’m not sure if that helps but i’m wishing you the most happiness before and after you meet your dream man, i know it’s gonna happen for you 🥰
Young Lady beautifully said very wise words. I’m 51 and agree…
I’m 23 have been in 3 different relationships and am just getting Into the world of dating and honestly sometimes I go back forth between wanting to be single and not dating and wanting to date and find my one.
I turn 26 tomorrow and relate to what you are saying about being single. Being told to focus on yourself is so dismissive even w good intent behind it. Done all the focusing on myself, read, cried, journaled and lived a little bit of life, worked on myself as a person, continuously working on myself as a person. What more focusing on self can I do? Lol. Just let me express that I desire companionship. I will subscribe!
I'm going to be 35 this year and single. I find myself at times sitting in my mom's walk in closet crying because I feel like I'm not going to find my person. I'm trying to work through the emotions and accept that this might be my future. As much as I would like to be a wife and mom, I might not get the opportunity to. Dating is a lot harder and more stressful than when I was in my early 20s. I'm new to your channel and I know just by watching that you are going to find your person but until then, live life to the fullest and always keep smiling. You have such a bright future ♥
Be patient and take your time. The dating scene these days, are SUPER WEIRD!! So you have to be selective in choosing a partner. You’re still very young and have a ways to go! Don’t give up love, what you desire is right within your reach ❤
I agree- and it can be dangerous too. There are too many Black women being murder by the hands of their significant other, which is typically a Black man. However, there are still many good Black men out here. Just wait for the right one to come along.
Wishing you all the best. I met my husband at 31 and was engaged 2 years later. It may get lonely at times but I found that dating was sooo much better in my 30s rather than my 20s. When I met my husband, I realized that those guys in my 20s were just playing in my face. Most guys in their 20s just aren’t built for serious relationships or marriage. Enjoy the single season, continue to date, and ready yourself for marriage if that’s what you desire. Best of luck ❤
I literally packed an apt i had lived in for SEVEN YEARS the night before and day of movers coming. My anxiety just made me procrastinate. So happy for all newness in your life. Also-i feel you on the singleness…literally just said some days i’m grateful, many of the days im sad af. It’s too many people on this earth to be content being alone.
girrrl, moving jusst takes so much out of you and brings up so many feels all at once. i am NOT a fan of the process.
on singleness, i agree with you 1,000%! most nights are sad and i definitely spend a lot of time resting or working to keep my mind "busy". and yes, way too many people on this earth for me to settle for just being alone for the rest of my life, or twenties even! thank you so much babes 💗
I think it’s important to appreciate what we have. Often in life we want what we don’t have. We want marriage and kids but that has it very difficult days, weeks too. Being single means complete freedom. Enjoy this stage as much as you can because you never know when you might miss it. As far as finding someone, just gotta get out there, try new things and places.
I randomly came across your video. I'm in my mid 30's and believe me when I say your feelings are very valid about dating and finding someone even at 26. I was in your spot thinking "oh I'm still young and it'll happen when it happens" and while you shouldn't try to rush anything to the point it's not organic those years will start to pass...quickly. and before you know it you'll be feeling more doubtful as they go by. It's a depressing feeling. But the good news is you CAN do something about it. Something I heard in a movie once stuck with me, "Every woman has the exact love life she wants." I didn't realize but I had closed myself off from dating unknowingly. I was not actively dating and telling myself no one is coming up to me, no one is showing real interest. What I was feeling on the inside showed on the outside. So last year I joined several dating apps just to really get used to interacting and talking with the opposite sex. My last relationship was when I was 21....remind you again I'm in my mid 30's. It started off shakey at first lol but I am now deep into the dating games. And while I'm still not in an exclusive relationship I have made some significant connections and enjoying the company while on dates and getting to know people. The deafening silence is no longer there. I went from having no one in my life to meeting a few on dating apps to now meeting people in every day life because I think how I feel on the inside has changed and is now exuding from the inside out. I wish you all the best in the future in finding your person. It'll happen when you want it to.
“The silence in my apartment, it just feel so loud” I honestly felt that! I’m going through the exact same thing. I feel like I’m the problem, like dang I don’t even have a sneak link, a roster nothing 😢
Getting older makes it a little harder to meet your person but it’s not impossible. I’m 43 and found my husband on a dating site 7 years ago, got married after 2 years and still happily married! Don’t give up hope it’s not impossible. One of my friends is about to turn 40 and she feels the same way you do.
I feel exactly the same. I’m 25, live alone and have been single for 4 years. Its really tough out here but we just have to get up everyday and keep going! 😭
Definitely feel this ... I turn 29 this year and still have yet to be in a committed relationship, meanwhile, career, other personal stuff, etc. is all going great. All the self love advice is so tiresome, but sometimes we just need a good cry (or one, or two lol) to snap back. You're not alone
Am 41yrs and feel you. Your feelings are valid. Most of my village is married/ have kids/have close family. When my Gran died 2017 my world has never been d same. I am alone & lonely😊😊
I'm 34 and I feel you. I often have these mini breakdowns. I won't say it gets any easier because it doesn't. I just wanted to let you know, you are seen and your feelings are valid. Praying for peace and blessings for the bost of us.
Same. Same. Same.
As someone thats likely older than you (I’m in my 40’s) it gets better. I still haven’t found “my person” but I remember being in my 20’s and being so focused on doing that, that I dealt with a lot of BS all the way up until my last few years of my 30’s. I wish I would’ve dated more and not let guys waste my time in situationships just to have someone. Just came out of a decade relationship with no ring and I’m now realizing all of this. I feel so much freedom being single. I do hope you find what you’re looking for but also enjoy the meantime of it being about you ❤
It's such a shame that black women allow themselves to be finessed out of their love time and energy for years and still end up with no ring. I was with my partner one year before he proposed and even gave me access to his phone and bank account but he is a well off white man who is serious about being a father and a husband.
I think these black men don't really want marriage. Black women should expand their options.
Sis, prioritize dating! Your feelings are valid, I wish you luck! I’m 35 and I just started thinking about a relationship 😂😂😂😂. Love the content as always gorgeous!
Too funny I didn’t start thinking about it until I was 34
I honestly think bw need to be more serious about how we go about dating. Dating with intention. My parents have been married 40 years, my sister has been married 10 years and I'm about to be married next year after dating my partner for a year and i'm only 27. Get serious with what you want for your life and don't allow any man waste your time till you in your 40's. If he doesn't want what you want NEXT him with a quickness no sentiment about it. Approach your goals with focus and precision.
@@tessy28 my word for the year is intentional. If we don't align, we're wasting time.
Honey I can relate to you I’m single and a lot older and it’s not always easy, at times I feel invisible 🫥 and unwanted, but then I come to the reality that Gods protection is better than anything, because maybe we are not ready yet or our person is not ready yet? Everything is in Gods Timing and it will come, the wait is hard but just know he doesn’t want to rush what he’s trying to perfect, he will not send you anyone until y’all are both right and ready for each other, so continue to seek him and in due time all those things will come in the right time and that’s his promise to you, I know about those crying nights baby😢 but joy comes , God bless 🙏🏽❤️✌🏽
You always hit the nail on the head especially when you talk about being single! It’s crazy cause people have the best intentions when they tell you to focus on yourself and all that but its just so dismissive at the same time! I’m on the same boat as you, we are the same age. I have heard don’t look to hard but maybe it’s in front of you. I’m like WHERE!? It’s frustrating, but we will definitely get through this! Love your content btw
I’m so happy I found this page. We are in such similar places and the same age, and you are saying EVERYTHING I’m thinking. I’ve taken to letting your older videos play while I’m home because it’s like FaceTiming with a friend. Go off queen! Rooting for you. We got this 😊
I’m 33living alone in nyc and i understand how you feel whole heartedly. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your feelings.🤍🤍
Hey maybe can have a reason to be back😊
Girllll I feel you on all levels. I’ve been single since 2018 and I’m 27 approaching 28 this year. I’m ready to find my person
I second the person in the comments who said make dating a priority going out to places you enjoy, parties if that's your thing, dating apps, going out alone to places you'd want your future partner to frequent so they won't be too intimidated to approach (I heard somewhere men are more likely to approach when you're in a smaller group or solo). my partner ended up being my best friend's friend's friend so you never know how you'll meet someone. This is the first video of yours I've watched so I'm not sure, but it also helps leaning on family and friends at times when you don't have a partner and are feeling alone esp because you live alone.
I hope it all works out for you girl💕
Sis you are so pretty! You remind me so much of myself! ❤ I’m 37 now and I have been single for a decade with no children. I used to be tormented about being single. But, I’m starting to realize that I love myself and my peace of mind. I pray that the right person comes and scoops you up.
I definitely understand how you feel sis, you're not alone. I am moving soon and I already feel like dang I wish I had someone to share my space with or who I can come home too because you want that company, but it's important to know that you don't just want any company you want the right company and person for you. My advice is to continue to enjoy ur space and alone time to love yourself and learn yourself, keep growing your brand and career. I know we get told that alot and can get tired of hearing it from those who have there significant other, but just think you never know what they sacrifice to get that relationship, you don't really know if they are truly happy or just using someone to feel whole, therefore avoid comparing yourself because it may seem as if someone has it good but that may not be the case. Soon as you start to fully become comfortable with being alone is when god when send the right one when you stop worrying so much. Trust me god has not forgotten about you, he just wants to make sure he gives you what you deserve. If we rush what we want just to feel a void or a lack there of then we sometimes can sell ourselves short, patience is everything. You got this queen! Congrats!
That's true but some couples are extremely happy. My life was already very good but my partner has enriched my life extremely so. I am sure it will be the same when your time comes too
Sis I’m 28 and feel this exact stress ! And the picking is slim… I’ve been reading this book that’s suppose to connect you to your husband in 6months. Idk if your into the gospel tho it’s an amazing book I’m on chapter 5 and it’s more about fixing yourself then he’s sure to appear. I hope it brings you some type of comfort like it’s bringing me. It’s called “ Your Knight in shining armor” by P.B. Wilson ❤
If you really want to be in a relationship and find your person, I would suggest two things. The first thing is that you have to put yourself out there and date, and more importantly put yourself in spaces of men that you actually see yourself being with. The second thing is, you have to be very intentional from day one. Ask the important questions-are you looking for a relationship? When do you see yourself being in a relationship? XYZ. A man who doesn’t want to be in a relationship will give you run around answers like “one day” or “eventually.” People who are serious have very straight answers about what they want. If you’re asking the questions and it’s not matching up, then let it go and move on but don’t let a situation drag out for months. If you’ve been on 4/5 dates with the guy, you should know if you want to be with a person. The early you can decipher the BS, the better. & the last thing is, which is not really advice but…when it comes to relationships, it’s hard to get in one and it’s hard to STAY in one. The real work begins when you make that commitment. Good luck babe💕
You are only 26 years old!! Continue putting your energy into growing, becoming a better version of yourself and finding peace. The rest will fall into place .
I just found your channel today. Thanks for your honesty! I'm 43 and single. It can suck at times having everything on your shoulders as a single black woman. If I meet the right man one day...great! If I don't...I don't. I focus on the fact that I cannot have my peace of mind interrupted, period. Been there in my younger years and ain't doing it again. I'm sure you'll meet the person whose right for you. Most things never happen on our wanted timeline. ❤
Focus on yourself while loving yourself and all the traumas need to heal on the inside! There’s so much to love, it’s not easy as it sounds
I can soooo relate to everything you just said about being single. All of it. I have my breakdowns every now and then cause it does suck being alone all the time and doing things or going places alone. It would be nice to share life’s experiences with someone special. Hang in there girlie. You’re not alone.❤
This is just a natural human need for a lot of us, especially women. We're just more expressive about it. It's hard to connect with someone who we think is right for us. The most important thing to remember is to keep yourself open to meeting someone and that it's going to take work and the willingness on both parts to make it a successful relationship.
Hey Amani, this is my first time stumbling across your video. I had my child at 26 (unmarried) and had a few long term relationships that went nowhere. I'm a lot older but want to let you know I got married on the weekend of my 40th birthday. Coming out of a going nowhere relationship, went to a Karaoke bar my girlfriend invited me to and met my now 27 years later husband. I know it's hard to hear but your person is out there and will present himself maybe after some lessons learned or just when it's time. Hang in there and enjoy each day as it comes so you don't miss out on things that are supposed to happen in your life. Don't know if that helps but hope it does.
Damn... I felt this vid big time. There are times that I wish I had someone to lean on if just for a second...
4:10 I know this feeling . God hears you & sees your tears . I just got out of a relationship. He wasn’t my person. I was also alone most of my life too . I still think it will happen for the ones that want it . Don’t give up hope !
Just came across your channel. Appreciate your transparency. I’m 59. I remember having those same thoughts at your age. I would tell my younger self to truly indulge in self. Rather that maybe stacking the finances and building more wealth, traveling, growing my business or building that relationship with Christ. So when God allows the man (that’s being made JUST for you) to find his queen; you are well prepared for your king. Blessings and Favor 🥰🤗🥰
I live alone and single so I know what you’re saying. . Even though sometimes I feel good about being alone but other times having someone is needed.
Aww girl I’m sorry your so down. It’s going to get better, 2023 is a good year! ❤
Glad I found some relatable content ! I’m 26 just moved into my new home.. and it’s hard . I’m lonely , I feel stuck , I feel crazy at some times because I’m tired of just listening to my own thoughts lol!! But I have been vloging and trying to get into creating content as well! Thanks for the inspo love ❤. New sub here 🤞🏾
I love your videos so much 🥺 Keep pushing through it. You got this! ❤️🩹 your videos help keep me going girl. I’ve been feeling the same way sadly but we got this
Congratulations on the new place! I’m literally counting down the days until I move again. Best wishes ✨
Everything about this vlog was chefs kiss and your camera quality is amazing!
It’s good to vent and get these things off your chest. Something that helped me through lonely times was to - believe that my partner is out there- I was so tired of being single and dating people who I should not have that I stopped feeling down about being single. You will find your partner.
First!! so glad you made the move to include YT!!! Lissen!! you are not alone!!! Whether 26, 36, 46 etc. it never gets easier and it's not until you make those large life transitions that you feel, hear, see the singleness amplified. Continue to build your career and LOVE on YOU because the more you know yourself the better and easier it will be to tell someone how to engage with you. YOUR person is coming and they are praying and going through like you!!
I love this vlog honestly the most wholesome moving vlog 🤍just want to share a reminder that you are so loveddd and sooo deserving keep shining gorgeous
Omg the singleness i can definitely relate. I’m a single mom and outside of mother hood the single life don’t get easier after being to yourself for so long but I hope it gets better for you ❤
Baby girl you are so blessed. Blessed beyond what you can even imagine
I get how you feel love ❤ hopefully you feel much better about the situation soon and find a healthy way to cope.
This vlog has been VERY HELPFUL for when it’s my time to move into something new!! ❤ plus the aesthetic of this vlog is chef kiss! 🥰💕
Your feelings Amani are valid!!!!!!!!
Wait?? We are living a similar experience. I have also been single since my sophomore year (2016). I am also 26 and had a meltdown about my lack of romantic connections. It is so refreshing knowing that I’m not the only one going through this. I have so much hope for us! Thanks for being vulnerable. I think I meant to find this video! ❤
I'm 35 and can relate. Stay strong , I just came across your channel and I love it
I just came across your channel. Your transparency is so refreshing. Thank you for that. I can relate so much. I'm three years older than you but literally that's how I've been feeling for years. I finally living on my own and the peace and silence is so refreshing but sometimes like you mentioned it can be so loud.
Why did I randomly stumble upon your channel and love it. I love your vulnerability and openness. I am. 39 and single and I share your thoughts and feelings. Definitely remain positive and hopeful while continuing to better yourself.
Omg bestie I promise being alone and having your peace is such a blessing ❤️🥺
I couldn't have found your channel at a better time! I'm in a transitional period in my life as I am about to be moving in on my own and living my single life. I resonated with you SOOOO much about how you've been feeling lonely and how we are getting older and gets harder and harder! I look forward to staying tuned with your journey and hoefully when I begin documenting my journey we can connect in the future!! Much love to you sis and KEEP SHINING AND DOING THE DAMN THANG!!!
Back here after binge watching all your videos. Love you sis and the algorithm for putting you on my recommended page ❤😊
Loved your candid, raw moments. Also, your makeup is taking me back to “Love Jones” - love the warm, neutral tones. ❤
Living alone also and just moved to bigger place and can relate a lot so happy I found your channel. Wishing you good vibes on your new place and journey. ❤❤
I definitely feel you girl. I have been focusing on things I should be working on and not trying to make my life not so stressful. My channel hasn’t really taken off and I feel like I’m over my job. Congratulations on the new apartment. You not the only one just letting you know
I understand how you feel, I feel the same way, so I can relate to your situation being single and living alone is no joke
You’re almost at 10k!!!! It’s about to be your time to shine (if not already)!
Love your content. Just keep being u. Listening to your honesty is verbalizing battles i have in my head. ❤
I love you so much , you’re not alone sis
I never thought of myself being single too especially very unexpected like now , but what I can say the discipline is real and trust me getting to spend time with yourself and extending grace to you can be so therapeutic!!! Sending my love 😍
New subscriber ❤I absolutely love your energy and vibe girl, keep going!
you are beautiful, Amani. the right person will come in the right time. you are young and trynna figure out your life, so no rush. sometimes we fell like we need someone else, but it’s a WRAP, babyy. new subscriber. 💖
The Boondocks "goodnight" transition is sooo unique and cool af I loveee it everytime I see it 🤎🤎
Just came across this channel. You are on the right track. This resonated with me....you are getting older, and as this happens and you continue to live in your alignment, the wrong people will fall back. It's normal to feel loneliness. It's normal to want to be in a relationship. I'm 30 about to turn 31. Was engaged at your age to the wrong person. While this was my experience, I aim to reassure you that being alone while loving yourself and blossoming in your career IS PERFECT. Hold on tightly, even in times of despair.
Amani!!! Thank you so much for your videos girl. You have truly saved my life. I’m 31 and I’m still figuring it all out. Wanting to pack up and move to Charlotte, NC, but scared because I’m so close to my family. Being single is full of so much emotions but because of you, I’ve truly started to take my healing journey seriously. I am going to grow a long side you. Don’t give up please!
18:05 so happyyyy for you
Congrats and we are proud of you
loooovveee your channel. I am in my single/living alone era at 24. It such an interesting space to be in where you love your own space and loving your independence… but wanting someone to share moments with is something I want/think about often. Sending you positive energy. 💫🤍
I never make comments but you spoke too my heart. I HEAR YOU & TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!! It’s hard. Not that you shouldn’t focus on yourself, BUT I AINT TRYING TO HEAR THAT @the moment. And I want a man to focus on me NOW!! I’m watching you everyday sis. 😢😢
I've been really enjoying your vlogs, new subbie🌸, been catching up. Also I understand the age and not having that person, I felt like that too and my focus was me, work and God because I had to give up the search (for me) and I met my husband when I was 29 (we have 4 kiddies) and you'll realise that when it does happen it's for an amazing reason and everything just fits into place. Blessings to you x
I'm in love with the intro jazz tune. 😍 I had to subscribe ❤
theres a community for us & i did not knowwww!! where have i been!! i felt the meltdown rant on a spiritual level! you're not alone babe! but keep pushing we got this 💪🏾
Loving your content! Just a reminder that working on relationships is just as important as working on you career, yourself and everything else. Relationships are important too, yes they shouldn’t take over your life and come before everything else. Sending you love, your person is out there! Just stay open ❤
You have easily become one of my fav instagram and RUclipsrs ❤️
You won't be single for long your beautiful ✨️
Love the editing, the good night and good morning parts 😅
I feel this on such a level! Wow I can relate. I am praying your strength. It has been at least 10 years for me and it does get hard but I refuse to settle. I just pray and ask God to continue to prepare me.
praying for you!🤍
I really loved this video and I truly understand how you feel loneliness can really mess with your mental and emotions. But keep your head up you got this. God knows who will be best for you just be patient and wait you're to beautiful to settle for anything less.
Siiiiis! Saaaaame 😭
Today was one of those “loud silence” days for meeee too! 😂 you have no idea how validated I feel watching this video. Lots of love your way ❤️
I just found your channel. I love your candor and authenticity. A very real look at the life of a twenty-something. I related so much at 4:54 because the messaging around being single seems to be oriented around focusing on oneself to point that one no longer desires wanting a relationship...When, in my opinion, it really isn't mutually exclusive. One can be incredibly fulfilled while single and still desire romance -- we're built for companionship. It would be going against our nature to suppress that desire. Keep uploading 💜
Thank you for sharing this. I thought that I was the only one going through. I was engaged for a while and it fell through it didn't work out but the singleness is very hard while living alone
Your video was in my new to you section, and I decided to watch. I truly enjoyed it. Your video really hit home for me. I'm a 39 soon to be 40 single mom who has been single for some years now. I truly understand how you feel. I was just sitting here yesterday thinking will I find my purpose and my person. I want that opportunity for my parents to walk me down the aisle before they leave this earth. I feel like I'm going to be an old bride or alone forever. I have been working on myself, loving myself and be patient has people tell you as advice but at the end of the day I still will love to share my love that I gained and grow loving myself to someone deserving sooner then later. Sigh...... You got a new subbie here now. Finger crossed true love and Mr. Man will find us.
This is the second time I have randomly been watching your vlogs and you touch on a topic that is something I’m struggling with. Im 32 and have alot of anxiety around meeting the right person and settling down. Sending us both all the patience and peace knowing that God has our people on the way🥹🤍🫶🏾
I met my guy at 27 tbh you have a lot of time hun it comes out of nowhere Continue to be encouraged. ❤❤❤
Girl I can relate to you silent apt n being alone for years n yes we do things we like to do tvl go dinner by ourselves movies, drive out cloths shopping, cook whn we feel to but having a guy company around to sit talk n laugh is missing but girl continue to pray about it n try n keep your self happy ❤
Living alone is EVERYTHING.
Enjoy your life, and don't let any come to live with you.
Don't let everyone enter your home.
😊
Can we also talk about the deafening silence we feel when you’re actually in a relationship. Deafening silence between you and your partner… if you have ever experienced both, which one feels more painful???
The single silence to me feels worse. I'm also the type to communicate about how I'm feeling as well though.
In the same boat! Single since 2017. Still managed to experience heartbreak during that time 🙄 I’ve always loved how much time I have to myself, to grow in my relationship with God and serve in my local church. But once I turned 26 in July last year, something shifted. Now I really have the desire to share my life with someone. I want someone to have laugh with, make memories with, and just share the details of my day.
I definitely feel where you’re coming from, and thank you for your transparency! ❤
I just found your channel and I can relate to you about your thoughts on your current season of singleness. I’m also single and 26. I haven’t dated in so long and it just feels like people don’t understand. Some days I love my singleness but of course there’s days where I think I wouldn’t mind dating now or having a relationship.
