It's been such an emotional week but grateful for this journey in tackling this week's challenge. I cried! - but tears of joy, happiness and gratitude. Hope you're all having a great day!
It really sucks when you're going through a tough time. You don't want to be left alone but at the same time you don't have the energy to deal with anyone. It can be hard to find some sort of balance, but you know, onwards and upwards ;)
Fran! The algorithm gods lead me to your channel and I was hooked at hello… you are so warm and enchanting. I can tell you have a heart of gold! Thank you for starting your channel and your vulnerability. Subscribed!!!
I'm genuinely touched by your kind words. 😊 Honestly, I'm just figuring things out as I go, but it's been such a joy to connect with wonderful people like you along the way. Thank you for being here! ❤️ Take care and all the best! Fran
I normally never comment on videos.. but I find it so fascinating that one person that you are watching on your laptop screen is literally talking about all your thoughts from the last weeks/ months.. I can see a lot of similarities in your way of thinking compared to mine. I am so thankful that you talked about your thoughts! It's so comforting to hear that I am not the only one going through such a weird phase of finding the way they see themselves in their friendships and what kind of responsibility comes with that. Also you saying that we do not need anything to talk or update about when spending time with friends. Made me realise a few things... Thank you so much for opening up! Found a new safe space on the internet with your channel..
Thank you so much for your thoughtful message! 😊 I’m really struck by how many people are going through similar experiences, and it’s reassuring to connect with others on the same journey! Thanks for being part of this space here on RUclips. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you have a great day too! 😊
You are a very insightful person. Your point about not having news to share is actually what’s holding me back from connecting with friends. My financial situation is very different following a divorce so I can’t do ‘news’ worthy things like travel, events etc like my friends. It’s this lack of news to share with them that has highlighted just how little in common I have with my friends. Our friendships were built on you talk about you then I’ll talk about me rather than shared experiences and interests. It’s left me feeling even lonelier in the friendship and honestly feel less lonely not trying to be in those friendships.
I really appreciate your message. It’s tough when friendships shift like that, especially after big changes in life. I’ve outgrown friendships where it felt like status was the only value, but I’ve also been amazed by the communities I’ve found here who are going through similar experiences. It’s comforting to know we’re not alone! I’m sending you lots of strength and understanding as you navigate this. Take care and all the best! 💖 Fran
Best episode yet! "The outwardness of me"; you don't have to have news; send more cards - those are my takeaways today. I was widowed earlier this year and am still trying to work out how to Be. Oh, and Greta goals - seven leaves so far.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your takeaways! I’m really sorry for your loss, and I’m glad this episode connected with you in some way. Sending cards has been such a simple yet meaningful way for me, and it’s nice to hear that the idea resonated with you too! Haha, good luck with Greta goals-she’s going strong! 🌿 Wishing you all the best, and have a lovely day today! Fran ❤️
Your words really resonated with me, even though i'm a married 60 year old woman. I've always been a loner at heart and i've always struggled to keep in contact with friends, it doesn't help that i've moved around a lot. I feel that if i meet up with people i've got nothing interesting to say so why bother. Loving your videos, you deserve to do really well, and i wanted to give you a big hug at the end ❤ ETA I never usually comment on videos, maybe only 5 times in almost 15 years so you've definitely got something special to give
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate you being here. It’s tough keeping in touch with friends, but I’ve found it strengthening to connect with communities online who are going through similar situations. Sending you a big group hug! ❤️ All the best and take care, Fran
We love a heartfelt card! So much love to you Fran - I'm so glad we met in London when I lived there and I'm so happy to get glimpses into your life through these vids now. You're sharing all the 🌞 with the world!
It's the first time I'm here and I loved this video. You're so natural, pure, and beautiful, I say that from my heart. I feel that you bring people peace. ❤ Strangely, I came here after I had dried my tears from crying, too, and I found comfort here. Sometime, I feel so emotional, anything makes me cry and I am not good with keeping in contact with my friends anymore. I sort of like being on my own also, that's so strange. And I can relate to so much of you say. I want to say that crying is actually to be strong. It's good to cry and to learn about oneself and our own feelings and then after feeling better it's maybe easier to connect to friends. I think so. I know we all have different life stories, and we all have different traumas, from that we grow into new better versions of ourselves. If that makes any sense. And my plants also need to be replanted, I have been procrastinating lately, obviously. With one step at a time, we can all become stronger. Thanks for being wonderful and for sharing your feelings in this great video here. I actually feel more positive now. ❤ Im sending you big hugs and geetings from in the middle of the night from Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear that you found comfort in the video, especially during such an emotional time. I’m also learning to embrace those feelings and take time for myself. I find that crying can be a sign of strength, and it often helps us reflect and grow. Sending you big hugs and greetings from London! 🇬🇧 Take care, and remember you’re not alone on this journey. ❤️ Fran
That was such a lovely and calming video. I wrote directly to a friend I'd been meaning to get in touch with for days. And thanks for sharing your feelings at the end♥
I have been a loner since I was a teenager. Most of the time I love my alone time. But lately it has started feeling lonely too. I have no real friends where I currently live (my close friends are across the country), too scared to date because of bad experiences, my mom lives in another state, and the rest of my family is across the world. It gets rough sometimes.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I also cherish my alone time, but I understand how it can come with the weight of feeling lonely. I’ve been taking things one step at a time, too. I’m sending you lots of warmth and understanding as you navigate this. 💖 Fran
Who wouldn't want to marry you?! I know I would be honored haha to marry you, no joke! I am so glad that I found you. I absolutely am so enamored with you and just enjoy you and your content so much. This was such a needed video yet again for me. You feel like such a warm hug and a positive push. I could listen to you speak for hours and enjoy every minute of it... even if you were just reading all of the end credits of every movie in existence. I just recently obtained a couple rooted starter plants in water and I'm STRESSED already but thank you for showing a realistic repotting. It looks like you have a potential spider plant there which I think is one of my plants. I just want my plants to live for now. Your friends and your brother sound absolutely amazing and so full of love. You are so full of love and beauty inwardly and outwardly as well. I look forward to anything and everything that you do. Super proud of you. Much love Fran and cheers!
I DO! 💍 Ha! Thanks for your lovely kind words and for being here - it's great to relate to common themes and situations. All the best with the plants! I'm not the best plant parent - but had to start somewhere. Poor Greta was getting droopy ! Sending you love and peace. Fran
HEY Fran stop! Reading my mind! 😂 oh man…. Almost felt embarrassed how you were narrating how I truly feel deep inside but could never admit. I stopped socializing suddenly and thinking I am just getting older, which kind of is a cowardly rationalization. Thank you for making this video. I agree that you don’t need to feel the pressure to update when you meetup. I FEEL YOU Fran. Shake it off! Be there! 🎉
Hey! 😂 Kindred spirits! I love connecting with like-minded people who are experiencing similar situations here. Thanks for watching and for your support. Let’s shake it off together! 🎉🎉🎉
I'm at the 2nd second of this video and i just have to ask where that condominium with the undulating balconies are, or better yet what the property is called. because we have a condo complex being built in my city that looks the exact same and i don't live in London
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the video. The architecture is truly fascinating, isn’t it? I like to keep my location private, but I appreciate your curiosity! Wishing you a great day, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the video! 😊❤️
It's been such an emotional week but grateful for this journey in tackling this week's challenge.

Exactly, perfectly worded - I wish you could script my videos! Many thanks - and definitely onwards and upwards!
WE LOVE FRAN
'WE LOVE YOU TOO', Fran, Greta, Bruce & Cho. 🤗
You are so honest and heartfelt. Thank you. I must say that your videography is superb!
Many thanks for your kind words - much appreciated. I'm trying to improve with every video. 🙌
All the best to you today and take care, Fran

Thank you so much for your kind words! So touched that you were inspired by the video -that’s amazing! Sending you lots of good vibes! ❤️✨
thanks for the reminder. i did the same and reach out to my friends :)
That’s fantastic to hear! I’m so glad you reached out to your friends. It can make such a difference! 😊❤ All the best!
Oh I love that all of these plants have names!! 🥰
Ha! Greta and the gang say hi! 🌿
@@FraanLee Hope they are still doing as well as in the video. 😊
I would have loved to watch you finish your plant project. I have several repots I need to do but I have no motivation.
It took me some time to get motivated, but I found the whole process therapeutic and worthwhile. All the best with it! 🌿💖
Right on you! Glad you’ve decided to organize a gathering, cheers to this new adventure! ✨
Love this positive energy! Brilliant! - and thanks for the being part of the adventure too. All the best! Fran ✨✨✨

I love your personality 😊
