It’s crazy that i have been a viewer since when you and seb were together. I really saw all your ups and downs throughout the years and i have really seriously seen you grown. While physically you remain beautiful and healthy, I saw you transform for the better each time. You always stay true to yourself and share that rawness with the world. I really hope that you have been doing great and I truly wish you all the best!!
I love how vulnerable and honest you have been in this series. Spending time with family or loved ones is always so healing. You will always have my support. Stay strong!! 🤍🤍🤍
it’s been 2 weeks+ since my first break up with my first bf ever and i feel better every time i watch your video about how you navigate your break up. it makes me feel that i’m not alone. even though my break up was mutual and we’re still in good terms, i feel like it’s harder to move on when it’s a mutual break up. i definitely miss him and he’s definitely a great guy (and he was my first love ever). i don’t know if i can properly move on from him. i just have been feeling super empty since the break up and i get what you said when you said you couldn’t be in the 100% present when you’re with your friends/family. i couldn’t too. i couldn’t focus when i’m at work too which really sucks. but i hope it gets better and i hope i’ll feel better.
i can relate to this sm :( my first bf, first relationship, first love, ended things with me 3 weeks back and it has been so lonely and empty since then. even though we did decide to be friends it still isn't easier, knowing i cannot be with him, cannot hold him, text him all the time, use petnames for him, tell him insignificant details about my day makes me so empty :( god i miss him so bad, everything about it, and it doesn't seem like it'll be easier anytime soon. i know i have to move on, but i dont want to knowing i still do love him with my entire heart.
i feel you so much, my first boyfriend broke up with me 3 day ago, after a long and beautiful 4 year relationship, i don't think i can ever move on from him but i hope this message makes you feel that you're not alone, because reading your comment made me feel that way.
We’re all in the same boat over here, aren’t we? The first breakup of my life, that’s scary shit. My ex and I also ended things amicably after 2 and a half years and we would like to become friends again at some point, but at the moment we both need distance. The whole thing feels really… surreal, mostly? I don’t think I’ve quite understood the repercussions of this yet. Tomorrow is the first time I’m seeing him since we broke up, dropping off some stuff. I have no idea how that will make me feel.
I also can relate to this. He was my first bf,love my first break up. We were together for 2 years and broke up on the day after my bday. It sucks. I pretend to act it doesn't affect me much infront of my family and friends though it mentally bothers me so much. He suggested that we should stay as friends but it's hard for me. I still do love him so it's hard being a friend. It's been 30 days and I still haven't move on. I hope I'll get my energy back.
Honestly this whole series makes me feel like my soul is getting a hug, it's just so relatable even if you aren't in a relationship(you'll feel something) and it shows how real you are as a person towards your community and audience Thanks leah
watching this series is like coming home to an old friend 🤍 parted ways with one of the most important people in my life but watching your videos makes it feel like someone is holding my hand along the way - thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. sending you strength, love and light 💫
You have no idea how this series is helping me. Also going through the same journey, and moved back to my family after living with my ex for 4 years.. makes me feel less alone 🥺
Leah I’m so proud of you for having the courage to be so vulnerable with us. Being able to talk about such big and honest feelings can’t be easy so thank you for doing so. I wish you nothing but continued healing and happiness 💜
This is one of the most in depth breakup series I’ve ever watched. You’ve been so vulnerable and honest through this whole process and I’m sure this has been incredibly helpful for those going through something similar. Wishing you the best 💙💙
I think when i was going through my first breakup i would try to find solace watching other peoples but most were just right after the breakup or a skit of people’s breakup stages like hooking up with ppl/partying/anger etc and i didnt really relate so I guess this is me making what i wish i could see :’)
The conversation around feeling guilt around having that heaviness in your heart while spending time with your friends and family. As someone who puts a lot of value in my (familial and platonic) relationships with people, feeling like you cannot show up as your total self is so draining and frustrating. I am just grateful to have someone put my thoughts into words
I am literally so grateful I found you, it's been almost 1 month watching you I am sorry I was not there earlier. I hope something good will happen in your life in your coming days I will be soo happy for you!!💜I wish you happiness always.
My partner of two years and I decided to part ways yesterday (on my birthday no less), so this series is much appreciated to curb the spiral. Or rather, just to validate that these feelings aren't isolated. We are all allowed to feel. Thank you for these videos, Leah.
Somehow all your videos make me cry, not in a bad way I was just dumped in February after 2 years, we still live together and it is so hard because I relate to the empty feelings, the immediate rush of thoughts as soon as I'm alone. And the loss of drive to do anything is just so discouraging. I always look forward to all of your videos, but this series helps so much
I've been still feeling lonely 2+ years after a breakup, but (this will sound so lame), I'm less alone. First year was rough, but I had to turn inwards, and then I have to reconnect to myself and to others in some new ways (my friendships didn't suffer because of my relationship but in general I had to reevaluate everything). So, it's a process but it's nice to know you can always find comfort in most random things, places and people.
Same here... I can relate with the endless reel scrolling Leah mentioned, to distract my mind from overthinking and trying to figure everything out. The funny thing is that was during one of those moments that I can across this random video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nJavXrXeKK4.html) that is part of a series on emotional health, and it has really been helping me heal. Thank you all for sharing your pain. We are never truly alone 🌟
My parents recently broke up and my world felt so chaotic, so my partner and I decided to move to get some space. It has been very healing but it's also been very hard. These videos feel healing in the way that you're showing the bumpy road of the transitional space you're navigating through life right now. Keep being creative, keep reaching out to those who love you, and stay strong. ❤️❤️❤️
I just want you to know, Leah, that I can move on with my breakup story because of your navigating breakup videos. I think like you're talking something to me that I will get better soon and its okay to feel and appreciate all feelings (hurt, lonely and peaceful). Thank you so much, Leah, wish you everything gud
thank you for being open/sharing what emotions and troubles you're working through leah, this series has been a breath of fresh air whilst I've been navigating a similar situation! sending good vibes from Australia!
I feel so understood and peaceful now, thank you so much. Its 5 weeks now after my breakup and it still feels so vulnerable and fresh and so so sad..I feel very empty and lonely sometimes like you- this video really catched my situation. But we will be fine Leah, I trust in you and in me. Thanks for opening yourself to souls like me! Much warm love and thoughts ❤
Stumbled upon this video on my feed at 2:24 am. Im super grateful I pressed play, who you decided to go out in nature it inspired me to take a walk and let my mind wonder away from my room. I feel like the heavy air in my room kept me in a funky mood today so it was nice to get fresh air. I also really liked how you explained the feeling of emptiness, its so hard to explain ad the way you talked about not being fully present finally gave me a definition or way to tell people how I'm feeling. Thank you
Ever so often I go back to your recent videos to calm myself and cheer me up. I'm going through life changes that puts me in bouts of loneliness sometimes, and your videos make it a bit easier for me. 🙂🙂
Thanks for this video, I'm also in this stage right now and it was so nice you said you were in a stage where you were feeling very anxious and groggy and empty and suddenly thinking about your life choices a lot... I'm in the same stage and I've been really hard on myself because of it. So it"s nice to hear other people have been feeling the same in this stage :)
i think this is crazy how you two were so cool, and then a break up And you can still keep going, this is how a healthy relationship has to be, and strong as you You are a very good role model for young girls 🍃
love you leah! It's natural to take time to adjust to a change like this. honestly haven't figured out a way to deal with loneliness myself aside from distractions and maybe a little crying session. hope you know we're rooting for you and your happiness
Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us. I just broke up with my boyfriend, who I really love, and it's been pretty rough. Seeing how you process your break up makes me feel less alone and reminds me that I can get through this ❤
i love you so much leah. i’ve been going through a breakup alongside you and i’d say i’m also in this stage. you make me feel so seen n safe. aghhhh the things i’d do to give u a hug
I just discovered your channel today and I binge watched a whole bunch of your videos and I didn’t even remember that you guys broke up I feel sad even though I just started watching
Your videos are so comforting to watch and it feels like a virtual hug. 🐻 I'm also going through a breakup, and watching your videos makes me feel a little better. 🥺 I really admire that you have such a big heart, and I truly believe that the love you give to the universe will always come back multifold. ✨ Stay strong and I hope you feel better soon! Sending you lots of love Leah! 🌻💙💜
When you love some one and it ends its so painful its like a hole in your soul. How aweful it is and how long it lingers until finally the years go past. Its been 7 years now and its not so bad I dont think of her as much. Sometimes at night I look at her photograph. 😔
Im not even in a breakup but I've been feeling very lonely lately as Im trying to be friends with this guy in my class but I'm very scared I'd annoy him It is very weird but I'm feeling so empty and lonely whenever I cannot talk to him, especially on this cloudy Sunday☁️☁️ Thank u for making me feel comfortable and sharing this weird feeling with me today Leah, im sending u a big hugg👩❤️💋👩👩❤️💋👩
it took me 2 years to fully get over a relationship that lasted 5 years... if you loved someone, WHY should there be a timestamp on how and when you get over it ? the loneliness is there for a reason. your heart breaks. it's not suppose to just go away... then you would be a really shallow person. its' ok to not be ok. i told myself : Ok.. i will love him forever. maybe not the same way... but the love will be there. THEN.... my brain finally started healing. time..... that's all it is. you will forget the pain. you will change. you will meet someone new..
Thank you for this video but also for your videos in general I discovered you today and I already love your content I also leave in Paris and I really like following the life of a woman living alone building her own life and self love sharing her habits and experiences it feels like we are less alone 🤍 so ty and keep going!
i just moved into my own apartment and im living on my own for the first time (also out of my hometown) and this series is still super helpful and relatable
although it's not the same as going through a breakup, i recently got cut off by a friend of mine that i really cherished and cared about and it's the loneliest feeling ever. i can relate to your anxiety and loneliness in that sense despite not really knowing what your'e anxious about. it's only been a couple of weeks since that happened to me and it's been such an integral part in my self discovery journey because i realized so many things about my attitude towards friendships and such, like how i put my friends as the top priority when i should come first and how i shouldn't do the most for people that wouldn't reciprocate that energy (although most of the time i do stuff out of my love for giving and sharing to the people i care about and i don't really mind not getting anything back in that the moment) however when you get cut off, you realize the red flags that have been present in the your friendships the entire time but your love and care for that person overshadows it in some sense, thats what happened to me at least. what i'm trying to say is that every relationship you have no matter how long or short the duration of it is, you will learn something precious out of it either about yourself or about life in general. wishing you better days & thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your feelings with us. We will come out of this stronger 🤍
I'm easily twice your age, and just went through the end of a 22 year marriage. And you really helped me here, so I do appreciate you. I appreciate your honesty, your time, and your willingness to share your own pain, for the good of others. It's kind, and your grace helps so many. Thank you.
lovely video, as always. I absolutely love and adore those shots you take outside - like by the water in that icy scenery, they look amazing. sending you tons of love and warm hugs
Thank you for sharing this, Leah. Right now I'm also trying to navigate through a breakup and It really feels like you take my hand and go this path with me. I feel less lonely and more understood by someone I haven't even met yet. I wish you much healing and lots of love in your life. 🧡
Oh my, I was looking forward to this video so much! I’m so glad you’re doing better and the last part of this vid was so good! I’m going through something so similar and your last video really helped me. Thanks for doing what you’re doing 🙏🌟🌼💓
This video really helped me come to terms with my emotions. I just recently broke up with someone too, but not because either of us wanted to. Culture and religious differences aren't welcomed into either of our families so it really felt like everyone and everything was against us. It really hit home when you said you feel a sort of emptiness and guilt since you feel like you can't be as present with your friends and family as you used to be. During the beginning stages, I was trying so hard to move on that I forgot to truly feel my feelings. Being without someone who you grew so accustomed to, and who became a part of your everyday routine really does leave a sort of emptiness when you go separate ways. Almost as if you're constantly longing for that person because their presence is no longer there to fill that void. As much as we all know that time heals and that one day you won't long for that person, it is still a challenge when you feel like nothing can fully satisfy you anymore. With all this being said, Leah, I love you with my whole heart and to everyone navigating a breakup... we got this
Everything comes in the right time be patient. I realise that sometimes I need to feel or do something It doesn’t just manifest in the next day But maybe it will manifest in a month or so . Maybe The universe just has to reset something to be able to manifest the things you want or you need🤍 We’re divine.
Leah i got into art school! this little field mouse is going to the big city :0 !! Just thought you might like to hear some good news! Also your friends art and words where so inspiring, if you are ever in London sometime maybe i'll be a local by then and can show you round haha, sending lots of positive energy ur way
thank you for existing and making these videos. it's crazy how i care about you even though we've never met and probably never will, internet is crazy tbh haha. i'm glad you're feeling better now. when i feel lonely i go on discord and interact with random people, or listen to a podcast or call my mom or watch a series or read a story with people interacting. since i don't really have friends to interact with, i watch people interacting. if i can't have a thing, i watch people having it and enjoying it.
I do the same thing where if I feel alone, I watch another group of friends and it feels like I am there with them, but just as an observer. Can't tell if it's a good coping mechanism or not, but it makes me feel better for the short term.
✨Yes✨ I am really loving this series of honesty and healing its so refreshing to see, thank you for sharing this with us leah.❤ I really loved what your friend said about getting rejected, I once worked in sales where I got rejected at least 50 times a day. I am so thankful for the experience though because it gave me a new perspective on the word 'no'. Sometimes no can be "I'm not sure", "I've never seen this before", "I'm too busy to make time to prioritize this right now" or straight up "NO". And all of this makes me value Yes even more.
Leah you're so strong, and the way both of you guys handle the break up, was very mature, I know it's hurt, it's weird to not have that person by your side, you feel strange, but at the end, you will heal and feel complete again. I think a alone time it's the best thing we can do to process what have been happening to us, it's a way to catch up with your feelings and understand that everything it's going to be alright. Love you Leah, wish I could be your friend, and be with you, to support you in your new journey. Lots of love❤️
you were always one of my comfiest youtubers (watching u always brings me comfort), but specially now that you're showing yourself in this special moment of your life, it's like therapeutic i swear 🥺🥺💌💌 i love u Leah, in all your phases ❤️
My bf broke up with me or something like that last Monday. He didn’t have the courage to just say “I don’t want to be with you anymore”, instead he said that he isn’t sure about being with me and that he doesn’t feel happy since January. He doesn’t know if he loves me anymore, and well… I took the decision to just get out of my house for a while. My cats are with him and it’s killing me to think about the new life I have to build without his love and protection. I’m going back to my city next Sunday and I’m so afraid about my feelings, but I’ve watched your video and thought maybe I need to calm down and just try to talk with my ex in good terms, he isn’t a bad guy, he’s just a kid. He doesn’t know what he wants or maybe he does but I’m not in that plan. I don’t know. Well. Thank u for the space to be open about our feelings. You are a good internet girl .
I think one of the common mistakes is that people try to rush the stages of breakup. It can take you a while to get over things and that is okay and normal. It is okay to take time to heal and to feel the pain. It is okay to feel like everything around you sucks. It is okay to not want to get out of bed but it is good to be able to take small steps. Escaping from something won't make it go away. It will eventually come back and you will have to go through that either you like it or not. It is better to go through that when it happens than 5 years later because you were busy running away from it.
thank you for being so open Leah, I have been feeling so similar myself. Im graduating in a few months and everything is so uncertain so it's been hard to cope with but seeing you stick out these tough times is very inspiring! Sending lots of love
Its very hard when i see you crying. Im from Spain Leah if you want forget ad be happy i would line you travel and stay at my home a weeks. You are beautiful i love your smile
Leah, I appreciate this series so much. My bf and I broke up about two weeks ago and we were also living together. We still respect and love each other but know that it’s time to move on. It’s such a weird experience losing someone you love even when you know it’s for the best. I don’t know where I’ll go after this but I feel excited and nervous and happy and sad and lonely and yet so connected. Much love to you and anyone else who is going through a breakup 💓
Hi Leah, I am also going to a break up as well and my friend, who has been watching you for a while, sent me your videos. I just want to tell you that you are doing so well navigating through everything. What you’re going through is also what I’m going through and you are not alone. I still love my ex but it was healthier for both of us to focus on ourselves. Wishing you and everyone else in this situation peace. ❤️
I recently had someone very significant in my life leave and seeing you be so vulnerable and not stuffing it all down, admitting that sometimes Grieving someone you care deeply for can make you feel empty and not posting another “post breakup glow-up” video where your encouraged to just stuff it all down and put on a fake smile means a lot🤍 I’m so grateful to have found your channel in this little pocket of the internet, thank you leah💗🌱💟✨
Ya'll should listen to "Confidently Lost" by Sabrina Claudio. It has a line that goes "I am alone but not lonely." Also, Alina Baraz's To Me x Frank is a great song about self love after a break up. Good luck to all going through it
leah - kind of crazy how i feel like i'm in the same stage with you internally. been feeling so lonely and empty no matter what i do. wanting to run away somewhere new and exciting, hoping that will fix it, but knowing that's not how i will fix it... just trying to remind myself this too shall pass. we're in this together 🫂
Always so thankful that I managed to stumble upon your videos when I needed them. Watching you heal and be vulnerable makes me feel less lonely and hopeful that maybe I can overcome my own struggles too! So I wish you all the best while I do my best as well haha love youuuuu
Leah!!!!! Southampton is my hometown!! It’s where I grew up :’) seeing you there is so sweet, it’s such a magical, tender place…. a beautiful space for healing the heart. This video just became so much more intimate to me in such a special way. Sending you so much love!!! ♥️
I'm not in the same situation as you but feeling empty has been something I've been struggling with a lot these few months as a result I've started doing like mini videos for my own eyes and looking back and seeing clips of when I really felt joy has helped slowly come out of this feeling.
i went through my first breakup w my first love a little over two weeks ago and it’s been super difficult .. i feel empty and lonely often and can’t seem to relax enough to eat well n sleep well .. but ur videos on ur breakup are so helpful esp from other girls commenting about their breakup journeys
i just got out a very toxic relationship a few days ago and i just find myself still longing for him. i understand i’m not gonna get over him super duper fast but i just hope i am strong enough to just move on without hurting myself. i get moments where i feel so empty, days where i wish i got to talk to him about the good things that happened today but i’m just learning to accept the fact that he’s gone and will never come back. i hope as time passes i will be able to grow and learn from this like you :) thank you for posting something so vulnerable that people like i can relate to
You are such an incredible person and creator. Thank you so much for being vulnerable with us while trying to navigate this stage of your life. We all love you so much and are lucky to have someone like you to look up to ❤️
Currently not really sure what I'm doing in life either! I think the whole covid / lockdowns times had me thinking a lot about every single thing in life and about myself / my decisions, etc. I've been living in the UK for the past 4 years, but now next month I'm going back to France for a bit to see my family and then probably go travel somewhere else. I stressed myself out a lot because I don't have a "precise plan" like I've always had since I left school. But now I'm just thinking "what do I need right now" and right now I need to be close to my family and surround myself with nature. So I'm going back home in the french countryside. And that's it for now. Other things will eventually come. I hope you too take a step back and take things slowly, starting with the most important things for today, and tomorrow is another day. Sending lots of love to anyone reading this x
Currently healing from my break up, it’s been 3weeks now. We dated for nearly 4years. Your video has made me feel less alone in how I’m feeling but still doesn’t quiet the loud indecisive mind chatter I experience at night. I’m relived/excited about this new change in my life as an adult 21yr old but I’m also holding a lot of fear about my future. Just here to trust that everything is going to be okay, and I’ll find my focus soon. Practice of meditation and asana has been getting me up and moving everyday (currently on day 26 of consistent yoga) and clean local home cooked food, so I’m grateful for that 💛 everyday has been a practice of realizing when I’m not being completely present with the people I’m around, but I’m catching myself out in it more and more, so that’s good. Sometimes change and healing is slow, but I guess that’s what makes it so beautiful x
