As a momma, I’m proud of you for going home and I’m glad your parents taught you that it’s okay. I will always encourage my kids to come home if they are uncomfortable. ❤️
@Eleanor Trebicki Right? She puts me to shame lol. I just turned 50 and her infectious approach to life inspires me even now. I think she's still in her early 20s and seems to already have all her ducks in a row. She fought cancer while completing her education. She's quite an amazing human. And so humble and likeable.
I will come to this video time and time again due to Romee's cheering and beautiful last words. "I'll be alright, you will be too. No matter what you are going through, it will be alright". Thanks Romee, you made my day a lot better and brighter. I only have to convince myself that it's gonna be alright for me.
I started a new job a while ago at a hospital. And I hated it lol. I've never felt more unwelcomed/unhappy. So, I immediately quit. It felt like a fail at the time but it was what's best for me. And I'm honestly so much happier at the job I have now. Everything happens for a reason.
The yellow dress is so pretty! I’m sorry you had to come home. You gotta do what’s best for you and there’s nothing wrong with that. 💛 Sending a hug and light from Chicago 💛⭐️
You've gained the wisdom and appreciation for life that comes with fighting cancer. Living through that experience is profound, and is what got me out of my bad head space and onto a path that brings me so much joy and meaning. May you find your way in the days ahead.
Good on you for being flexible with your plans and knowing when to go if something is wrong for you. You are like a ray of sunshine in that yellow dress! ☀️
I had a very similar experience recently. I regularly go to gigs on my own in the UK, and love going to festivals with my friends. I was feeling stir crazy post-COVID and was eager to get some sun. I decided to go to my first festival abroad. None of my friends wanted to come, so I decided I'd go alone. I booked a lovely hotel by the beach for 12 days in a country only about 2 hours flight away from mine, and flew out the day before the festival started. I'd never been abroad alone before. To cut a long story short, I only lasted 48 hours, and had repeated panic attacks the entire time. I flew home, and I'm so glad I did. It was a learning experience, for sure. Initially I was embarrassed and looked online for people who had similar experiences, but didn't find much. Thank you for sharing, Romee. You're completely right that we should feel proud of ourselves for being courageous and going, and also for recognising when we needed to remove ourselves from an unhealthy situation.
So sweet of you to let your friend stay in your apartment even if you were back and so sweet of your friend to look for you after reading your post and asked if you wanted to go home
Romee, I’m so glad you were able to prioritize yourself and come home when things didn’t work out. Your dress is stunning by the way. It looks like it was made for you. Yellow is definitely one of your colors. Your going to be just fine. Take a deep breath and regroup. The next adventure is awaiting
If you don't feel comfortable around a situation and your body is telling you to go home you did listen to yourself I hope you're doing great now send you big hugs from Florida
Romee you are smarter beyond your years beautiful! So glad you took the intitiative to realise how you were feeling in Portugal and decided best thing for you was to leave and not feel guilty. X From personal experience that is hard to do and I had to make that decision as a late 40yr old - I am so proud of you . YOU come first mentally and physically 🥰 P.s that lemon yellow dress on you looks amazing. It’s definitely your colour xxx
Sometimes we feel like life just piles on more than we can handle, but somehow we get through it. You have already proven how strong you are. Also, I have to tell you that your dress looks so pretty on you!
I quit university after 3 months of a 4 year course because it wasn't making me happy. Best thing I ever did. I felt like I'd failed at the time but I hated it so much I didn't even care what people thought
So sorry this happened to you sweet girl but nice that you have such a positive attitude. You deserve happiness with all you have been through. Praying for better days ahead🌹
I’m sorry it didn’t work out Romee but it’s a positive that you tried but then chose to return. I was surprised by the kitchen prep, I didn’t think that was in the job description! I don’t mean to sound like your mum but your car seat belt is twisted. I’ve forgotten why this matters but it does. Your strength is a beacon, thank you for sharing.
The whole world seems to be in such a mess at the moment and it’s affecting everyone’s lives and wellbeing. With all that you’ve been through you need to be selfish and take care of you. Do what’s best for you. It’s been an adventure. One of many on life’s road.❤️
It's called The Fourth Turning. There's an interesting book by two historians who predicted this whole thing years ago. They're not "psychic," they figured out that history has a pattern based on the generations. My husband and I read about it years ago and so we knew what was happening when everything started going crazy. It's a fascinating theory.
Here is a great saying everyone should remember when it comes to mental health. It is ok not to be ok. Thank you for being open about it and talking about it on vblog.
Romee you are so beautiful. That pretty dress looks so lovely on you. Always go with gut feeling. Coming back to the Netherlands was the right choice. Always be happy. My saying is, if you are unhappy more than you are happy then change the situation.
Having a stable frame of mind is one of the most if the most important thing we can have. I'm glad your head is in the right place and very glad you're doing as well as possible.
Thank you for sharing that! The times we are in have caused most of us to feel off kilter. I am 53 and have been a caretaker for 6yrs. I have lost both my parents, my brother and uncle. Now it is just my other brother who is mentally challenged and I. I'm like you. I'm trying to find a path forward and whatever I choose I only need my own approval. You are wise beyond your years!
Glad you are back, sorry it didn’t work out as you planned. I’m going on my first trip since Covid started. I’m going to Alaska on a 7 day cruise and scared to death of flights being cancelled. God give me strength!
Hello young lady. I'm a lady in my 60's and I learned along time ago how empowering it is to just leave, just leave even if, weather permits, you have feet, you can walk. I have been watching your channel since the beginning. I admire you for many reasons. Have a wonderful day.
You were so right in coming home! Mental health is priority these days and you should be proud of yourself for recognizing that and acting upon it to come home. It’s a harder recovery if you stay in that negative space, mentally or physically. Love you and your strength
I am so glad to hear you’re not giving yourself a hard time for leaving the situation in Portugal. I remember when I went to France on my gap year to become an au pair, I wish more than anything that I had been able to leave a few weeks into it, rather than five months later. I felt too much pressure and stayed only half the time I was meant to, but even that was five months too long. It’s so good to know yourself and not be so agreeable that you stick something out and get totally miserable. Life’s too short and I am proud you did what was right for you.
You really went through it girl 🥰 So glad your home safe and sound . I love how no matter what is thrown your way , you always make the best out of it and encourage us to do the same ❤️
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey, Romee. We don't know until we try something and sometimes what we've planned truly doesn't work out. I applaud you for having the courage to make a different choice when necessary. Better days ahead.
You did the absolute best thing ever. Now it’s just a matter of regrouping. I’ve walked of two job in my life and only regret not doing it sooner. You go girl ♥️
I had friends that were also upset when their parents took their names off of the doors to "their" room. You've been on your own for awhile. You moved out and now your parents welcomed you back. That doesn't mean that they are obligated to leave it as your room . As soon as things get settled you will move out again. My friend's mom turned "her" room into a reading/craft room the week after she moved out. You look GREAT in yellow. Be safe and take care.
Hi sweetie, you look so pretty in that yellow dress💗. I can’t wait to see what you are going to get up to next… you certainly do not live a boring life! Safe travels and find lots of giggles🤩
Awe I love how positive you are even when things aren't going right! I love the encouragement from you as well, it made me smile and think about how many times things have gone wrong and not gone the way I planned as well, and everything was still OK with me. I made it through. I try to look at the positive side of everything the last couple months because I started going to school and with that comes many challenges and a lot of unknowns as well as things not going to plan, but I've still came out on the other side! I'm glad to hear you did what was best for you! Sending lots of hugs your way from the US! Have a fantastic weekend!
Thanks for sharing those stories! Love the way you tell them! Also, you did absolutely right to return back when that felt right to you. Love from Canada!
I feel that way when I go on my bicycle, I don't have a driver's license, but on my bike I relax and have time with myself In Denmark most people have a bike..we are a bike loving nation, this year's tour de France has been epic with danish eyes so far..3 stagewins in 4 days and the yellow jersey 💛 unbelievable
What a fabulous, sensible, brave and pragmatic person you are, Romee! Wise beyond your years. I hope you can continue to dust yourself off and then ready yourself fully for whatever adventure comes next!
Sorry you had to go home. Yes you are so right you need to do what feel's right for you. Your not alone with issue's right now I have alot of depression about family stuff I need to care more about my health and just me in general. So I can relate so well yes we will get through it but life should be easy not so hard. Take care!! 🦋🦋🌷🌷🙏😀❤️❤️
I moved to Germany from the US back in May for an internship. I moved every two weeks starting when I got here up until the beginning of July. It was horrible. I can't believe I didn't leave, but honestly I'm glad I'm still here. It was quite the journey but I'm loving it a lot more now. Sometimes it's hard and it still works out, and sometimes it's hard and you need to opt out. It's not easy to know which decision to make, but as long as you're happy with the one you made, then that's all that matters.
You are quite amazing! And I don't just say that to people if I don't mean it. Perhaps it's because of what you've been through but you have such an infectious outlook on life. Absolutely, you should not feel bad that you came home early. Why waste precious time doing something that does not feel right. You are doing fine. You look beautiful, that's my favourite dress and I love your short hair.
Must be a cultural difference thing, I was surprised you said that because your parents are in vacations you feel free to live in their house. In south Europe at your age often children live with their parents and the parents house is not considered “ their house” but the family’s house. Parents are happy to have their children living with them even at your age. Cultural differences between the north and south:)
I moved out with 18 and even though my relationship with my mother is normal she would say no if I asked her if I could move back home. She has already changed my room and put her stuff in it.
@@ag4444Same.Except my mum sold my stuff... I always wished for a more loving/concerned mother...Now I'm a mother myself,my oldest girl is 22,but always welcome at my house/apartment.I wish she'd come to see me/her dad/siblings more often.💞
Me too, In Slovakia you live with parents until you need to...I cannot imagine my mum would told me you cannot come ...or you can come when I am on vacation or out...but yeah probably the cultural differences....
You have learned thru life's hardships something that takes people much longer. 'Do what you need to for yourself.' I'm proud of your great attitude!! Hoping the rest of your summer is more fun 🥰🥰
So sorry that things didn’t work out for you. Pray things go better for you moving forward!!! Just to let you know, I am another person who loves to drive. For me, it’s kind of just losing myself and just enjoying the countryside! Stay well, stay safe and enjoy life!!!
I'm sorry your plans fell through. :( Just a side note, what you used there is not duct tape, that's packing/shipping tape. It won't last because the adhesive isn't strong enough and the sun will fry it. You need actual duct tape which will stick really well for a long time. At the hardware store look for "duct tape" on the packaging. It's sturdy and will secure literally anything for a long time. xoxo
Yeah. Gorilla do some good tapes that will withstand the UV. Some of the cheaper Duct tapes are also not so great in the sun. I did find one that was clear with a mesh embedded and that was really good for quick fixes for car stuff.
, Sounded like, from what you said, a wise choice, to return home Romee . Hope you like, the house in the country. i see there is, a lot of sun, and high temp, forecast, to be coming up. our way.
Glad you listened to your gut and left .I hope no one was unkind or hurt you in any way,but regardless of the reason you know when you don't belong in a place or around others " that feeling"- we've all been there at one time or another, it means its just not meant to be, it will lead you to where you DO need to be, though, that's the great thing!😉
So Portugal didn't workout.. the relief that shows in your posture about coming home is amazing.. it's like the weight of the world has been lifted off of your shoulders.. Don't second guess yourself your body language is screaming that you made the right decision.. and of course the the yellow dress which accents your slender long neck and is such a positive colour statement . Keep following your intuition , it's not selfish to practice self-care.
Tough events in life teach you to be tough yourself but also appreciate and take care of yourself. Glad you found out it's not for you :) I am also going through a messy period of my life rn... we just have to keep going.
Good on you Romee 👏. You so did the right thing to return home. Absolutely no reason to stay if unhappy. At least you had the courage to give it a try. Full credit to you and full credit for taking care of your mental health. I think we could all learn lessons from you! Take time to relax and sort things out darling. Love xxx❤️
Hi hun,👋 glad you made the right decision for you to return home. I get worried about you as your such a free spirit and decides to go and live in another country. I love that you get in your car 🚗 and drive👏 I never learned to drive, I was lacking in confidence 😅 and I'm to old nowadays 66ish. My brain has difficulty retaining information as I have fybromyalga and it like a bit scrambled 🙃 hope you enjoy spending time with a friend, on your vacation 😀 😊 ☺ Love and hugs to you and all your family. XxxX ❤ ❤ ❤
I have fibro, chronic fatigue ...and gatroparesis. My friend recently told me about some mushroom supplements. They are made by an Australian company. I am feeling so much better and so much clearer in the mind. The company is called Life Cykel(that is the correct spelling). it may help you, too. I'm 61 and have been diagnosed for 30 years. I'm sure I've had it at least since around age 10 years.
Her parents have it. They shared her (?) from when Romee first had her as there was a lot of hospital back and forth initially so I think doggo considers all of them home.
I literally meditate in the CAR....It's my alone time also Romee! Fav Part....lol.....you staring @ the DuckTape knowing it's not gonna stick. Your look is priceless, Girl! Xoxo 4ever!
You look absolutely beautiful that dress is beautiful on you try not to stress out too much just take it one minute at a time I know it's overwhelming I'm so sorry
She allows herself to be abused. So stupid. So dumb. She’s a 25 year old woman but behaves like a 15 year old. Her parents need to take some responsibility here. Her pattern of reckless and immature behaviour must surely set off alarm bells!
Romee, I am sorry that Portugal did not work out the way you planned. Italy did not work out for me either because of some family issues. My mother was very angry that my great uncle and aunt forged my grandmother's signature on a legal document and she was so angry and never forgave them and my mother's great anger for the last 10 years of her life with me put a lot of emotional distress on me.
Duck tape will save you in your car ! It has many uses for plugging holes ; fixing tubes ; making connections etc ! Stay safe out there ! Love ❤️ your independence
You should use some strong glue for the window frame to stay in place. Too bad you had to leave Portugal, but glad you made a decision for yourself!!! Hope things all fall into place for you!!! Breathe and prioritize and all things will workout. Airport here is a mess and reading its horrible everywhere.....delays are horrible everywhere, cancelations, people missing connecting flights, missing luggage....most people have been taking carry on luggage onlym....Yes severe delays on the tar mack due to short staff.
Hi Romee, My mum CozMarine told me about your channel and I’m so glad she did. You seem incredibly in touch with yourself which is wonderful to see (especially for someone so young). It’s not easy coming to terms with things not turning out the way you had hoped. Stay proud of yourself! Going home should always be ok. Love the yellow dress 💛 Steffi x
I’m sorry it didn’t work out in Portugal ❤️ . Have fun in the summer in Netherlands instead ! There will be other opportunities for you to work abroad in other countries that you will enjoy . So all is not lost ! In the meantime enjoy the summer ! 💕
What a frustrating day but you did it and like you I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason. I’m hoping for you it’s a better opportunity that you can feel about. Much luck
Inspiring & calming words about what so many of us struggle with anxiety about-worrying too much about what negative things people may think/say about us to the point of staying in situations that continue to make us unhappy, & things going wrong & not going according to plan.
It’s funny how you can get across the country in like three hours. Sweden were I’m from is really long so you could drive for 20 hours going from south to north.
I'm with you, Romee--I love driving! From my sister's house to mine, it's 1,996 miles, which takes 4-5 days, enough time for serious thinking. I've made this drive several times by myself, and I look forward to the long drive each time.
There used to be something in the Netherlands called the Stachten Acht or something like that. It was a day where you drove all over the country and stopped at each town like a scavenger hunt and you would go to the town hall and they would give you something that they were known for in that town, like butter cookies or Gouda cheese or something. Everyone would decorate their cars and at the end of the day there was an ending point in a town with a big concert and festivities usually with a famous singer or band, partying and fireworks. It was a really big deal and was so fun. This was in like 1978 or so. What impressed me is that you could see the whole country in a day 🙂I am so glad that you are taking care of yourself and were able to come home. There is nothing wrong with experimenting with your life.
Oh Romee that is so true. You did the right thing for yourself. Some people never get there and are always worried about what others think. You go girl!
