    Hi Maddie, I found you through Mariah’s channel. I’m an older lady that lost my husband to COVID September 2020. I am in the process of turning my minivan into a camper van and embracing the van life. Your video touched me very deeply today. Thank you for sharing. It kind of confirmed that this lifestyle is something I want to pursue during this season of my life.

    • @Maddie.taylor
      @Maddie.taylor  3 года назад +6

      I’m so glad that this video helped you, and confirmed the truth for you! I’m so sorry to hear about your loss - converting a camper can be such a beautiful way to transform some of our grief, even if in a very small way. Best of luck to you in your build 🧚🏻

    • @Andy-Mesa
      @Andy-Mesa 3 года назад +2

      My condolences. I lost my father last month, just as I was about to start this life. I'm still sad, but it keeps me occupied and it's a lot better to be sad in beautiful places. I hope you get what you want out of this life too.

    Awe I just love the little tree built fairy cottage 💕 it reminded me so much of ones that my daughter built when she was a little girl. Being a lover of nature and all the creatures that dwell in it, she was always building little homes in trees, hollowed out fallen stumps or in the middle of a fern field in hopes that something would stumble upon it in the middle of the night and make it their own magical nook. ☺️

You have such a poetic way of illustrating your life and viewing the world. I felt a craving to jump into the ocean when I saw your swim. The last part of your video was one of my favorites.

    Thanks for sharing this, Maddie. Your thoughts are marvelous. Living in cites, falling into the routine that some people think is the "real world", we lose the awe that comes from seeing the magic of true reality. I think you might enjoy Annie Dillard's book, "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek". It's probably the most mindful book I've ever read, full of wonder and mystery.

    I think you may like this song Falling Away by Seven Lions.. lyrics kind of remind me of what you speak of. If you like EDM that is. Or if you don’t already know it. 💜

    Maybe you could start a “fairy caching” trend like geocaching? What a cool idea!
