Raya, I feel your struggle. I am a similar personality type and whenever I don't get things done the way I expected, I feel worthless. You are worth so much more than your productivity. Having said that, you ARE productive. You have the right to focus your energy on other things than work. What you have created in such a short amount of time is amazing. Hope you're having a fantastic time in your new home!
Remember when you & Louis went on that snowy getaway to the tiny house in the mountains? In that video you both spoke of how important it was for you to be living in a large community. This is another step toward determining whether it is truly what you both want for the future. I'm so happy to see you both so fulfilled and content. I've been rooting for you two from the beginning. Warm wishes until next time. 💕
You did such an amazing job! Wish you all the best in your new place. Your roommates are so nice and understanding, it is so important to have a postive and warming community around you to filter out all the daily negativity. ❤️
I think that 'settling in' and going through the series of changes such as moving to a different room, house, location with new people etc. is so transformative and important in one's life that it leaves me, as your viewer, feeling even more connected to you and also makes me excited for you! It feels like I get to witness something more exciting and adventurous than traveling etc. I also moved to a different country during the pandemics and there's still plenty of stuff for me to work out, so I get inspired by watching your vlogs :) Thanks and hopefully you'll find new passions and goals while living in your new home.
I am glad I started watching you and Louis again. It's hard being unemployed and job searching in NYC during this pandemic. I have also recently moved to a dream neighborhood that I love (privileged to have saved and balanced financials to afford it). It's hard finding my worth without work. I miss it often. But since being in a new room (after living in a tiny room for two years) I have started focusing on making things. I'm back into making art (which I haven't done consistently for 4+ years. So when people ask me if I'm working, I say yes, I am working on myself.
That’s amazing!! I’m so happy for you Samara ❤️ this is such a wild time for so many people but it’s great to see you making time for the things you love that truly fill your cup ✨
Was having a not so bright day and you just made it brighter. Even the music you had whilst unpacking was a vibe. I love your energy. Thanks for being vulnerable on camera and sharing how amazing your flat mates are!
I don't know if Louis has done something on his channel, but could you make a video about your community, how it came to be and how do you handle living with so many people and having your own time and space? Just a suggestion because it really seems very interesting and I think I've never seen this kind of lifestyle... ever! Loved the video 💕
Absolutely loved this vlog! And your room is gorgeous. I also loved how things turned out, the desk, the white chest of drawers, it as satisfying to watch))
@@nickjulian7853 but why would they want to be representative how a city of LA looks like? It's not a reality show or something that requires representativeness. It's "representative" of how their friends circle looks like.
New place looks fantastic. Congrats on the move! The candle behind the door in the bathroom with the towels on the back of the door is a major fire hazard. 🔥🔥 Kind of triggered me out of an abundance of concern.
Raya, it might help if you expand your definition of “productive”! When work responsibilities pile up and deadlines are looming, it is easy to get trapped in thinking only work issues can equal “productive”. If you go back and really watch everything you did on camera and remember everything you did off camera to make this move possible and settle into your new home, I’m sure you will see the productivity! It’s okay to be proud of all you accomplished because your house-moving productivity was off the charts! Now you can prioritize your work commitments and start ticking them off. But even if you need a relax, refresh and recharge day to be your best self, that, too is productive and will help you meet your goals! If you look up the meaning to the word ‘worthless’, you couldn’t be further from it! Please be kinder and more respectful to yourself! I doubt you would treat a friend as harshly as you are treating yourself. That sort of negative self-talk is so damaging! Be nice to you! 🥰
Raya, this is so exciting! I can't believe you have a fireplace in your bedroom. I just imagine being snuggled up by the fire while watching a good film. I'm also super jealous that you're right next to the beach! I think you're doing a great job of surrounding yourself with beneficial elements that can contribute to your happiness. Especially, having friends that will listen, understand, and try to help with how you're feeling or how to deal with overwhelming issues. I hope this continues for you
I keep thinking how mature, and unselfish one would need to be to live with so many people. I'm an introvert and happily choose to live alone, but what you've got looks pretty beautiful.
It looks beautiful!!! I am obsessed with your windowy office space, and that vibrant rug! I needed a relaxing video like this today so thaaank youuu 💕 I can't wait for the closet try-on/clean out video because I am so nosey about clothes 😂
What an amazing space you have manifested...and surrounded by wonderful, creative, and supportive housemates. You are definitely the 'Queen of vibes & organizing' Enjoy and be happy
I'm so happy for you guys. I loved that last clip where you were sitting all together and just share ALL emotions. Not only HIGHS but LOWS as well. I would love to find out in one of your next vlogs how it works so well for all of you.do you share expence? Groceries shopping together? Always cooking for all. I find that very interesting. Love you Raya you are such a positive influence ❤❤❤
Amaaazing, love it!! And can't wait for your vlogs. Living in a community like this is definitely a possibility for me in the future as well, so I'd love to know more about how you guys are doing that :)
Hi Raya! Thank you for sharing and openly expressing how you feel as I am sure there are a ton of people who watch your videos that can relate. But I gotta ask, who exactly your are comparing yourself to in order to feel like you are not doing enough? Oprah? Because from this side it looks like you are living a dream and you do so much! I almost feel like I’m not doing enough compared to you and I think we are about the same age. I really hope you would stop being so hard on yourself; I know that’s easier said than done and I do not know your situation but I know if you compare yourself to others you are going to self sabotage. Anyways, miss watching yours and Louis’ videos, I hardly have time these days and mega congrats on the beautiful place.🙏🏼 Good luck girl! Xx
really enjoyed the vlog and love the new place! Also, i have commented this on one of louis vlogs as well, it would be so nice if you introduced everyone in the house and tell us a bit about them. they all seem like awesome people! I hope to live in a house with vibes like that some day.
Yay so happy for you!! You are gleaming ☺️ I’m in love with your new home!! 🙌🏼 I was curious, where did you get your white Balinese looking night stands?! I’m looking for some like that!

Ah raya I want to give u big hug.. You have created a beautiful space to live... Louis a lucky guy.. Hope he appreciates your talent for homemaking... Good luck with new home. Love your vlogs.. Xxhug
So happy for you and your new house mates! Looks like a really positive and light house :) I also made a point to watch all the ads in this video haha...not that RU-vid helps fund the creators and their projects anymore haha
Just WOW. This is really co-creating at it's best. Allowing, manifesting, aligning. This is what law of attraction brings together when you are just vibing and sharing your love and light and kindness with the world. Raya you were an example for me and now even more. What a brilliant group of people together. I so feel that love. I also feel I'm going to meet you some day when we can travel again. Keep aligning, allowing and cocreating with each other you beautiful people!!! (And Scout of course!) Sending you all my love!
This is great. I just wish there would be more diversity in the people living there. To some extent it seems like they all come from a similar point of life.
There’s actually a lot of diversity in where we’re all from and our backgrounds, especially in our religions and spiritual beliefs. I‘ve learned sooo much about different religions and opened my mind and heart up more than ever before through living with some of these people the last two years. And in terms of racial diversity, that has truly been a priority for us since before we moved in and we originally reached out to so many different people and this is just everyone who happened to work out to be able to move in. There’s still some people moving out and new ones moving in over the next few months so I hope we can call that in but again, it all depends on when people are available to move in etc ❤️
So happy for you! The house seems amazing and omg you have a ghost attic 😂😂😂 And the room turned out so well! I can't believe you did all that in such a short time! Also I would love more videos on community living. Best wishes!
That door opening after you looked at it was a little creepy haha! I’m curious if you believe in the supernatural? Thank you for making me see beyond the darkness portrayed in this world 💙
RayaWasHere okay I feel the same way I just wondered if you had like a secret trick lol. I guess my wrinkled clothes just means I’m having too much fun to care👌
