Alone but Not Lonely - ep. 1

good morning guys it's Sid and welcome [Music] back [Applause] so let me explain I didn't post last week and to be honest I didn't think anyone would notice but actually quite a few of you guys did and it was actually so sweet cuz I was like wow it mattered to some of you so thank you guys the reason I didn't post is I was just in a slump last week when I was kind of in this lonely mental state I was thinking to myself wow like you live alone you're alone a lot of the time that's so lonely but then I realized being alone does not have to be synonymous with being lonely you can be alone and have such a good time with yourself so I want to take today to just have fun with myself and just do things that I really love to do I also feel like I'm kind of on FaceTime with you guys sometimes and it makes me feel less lonely this is like how I talk with my friends so we're going to have a fun day together first things first coffee let's [Music] go okay so I'm at the coffee shop and introduce yourself hi I'm eile and Eileen just like came up to me and was like I watch your videos I was really awward to come up but no you're so sweet and you're from Amsterdam um I live in Amsterdam but I grew up in La thanks for saying hi you're literally so sweet thank thank you so much I decided to come outside I love the employees in there they're so nice I'm like kind of friends with them now well I'm not friends with them I wish I was friends with them to be honest but they play Lana like so loud and it's so fun like I usually love it in there but I just I don't want to get copyrighted wow this is so awkward I hate filming in public I forgot that I hate it you guys know like filming in public is just like hard for me I'm trying one of the main reasons I think I wasn't feeling good last week actually I know this is why is because I was just on social media so much when I'm on it for extended periods of time I just don't feel good I like not being productive sadly I don't have self-control and I have to delete it to not go on it so my mom also got me this book a couple months ago and I wanted to start it because one of my friends said it was really good too and I usually read oh I love New [Music] York I decided to come to this little cute neighborhood I wanted to just read here for a little bit because it's quiet over [Music] here only in my teeth not going on social media today has already just like helped my mood be so much better I'm eating my go-to snack recently actually this has been my snack for like probably the past year I get these little thin pretzels from Trader Joe's and then I have some little baby carrots with some humus all three of these together it's just dream dream combo you can tell I love this hummus I'm feeling a lot better today honestly I think just not being on social media is something that I really needed it's so important to take breaks and I forget to do that sometimes social media definitely like I think affects everyone differently cuz some of my friends aren't like me where they get kind of compulsively comparing to other people but when I'm just like on my phone for too long and I'm just scrolling andless ly I feel like I just compare everything about me to everyone else and then I feel bad about my own life when I shouldn't I have like such an amazing life it's just like the trick that social media can play on your mind and I've talked about this before like if you guys watched my video 3 or 4 years ago it was called dear teenage girls and I talked about how I struggled with just comparing myself online to people because it's such a real thing and it's like just an important reminder I guess for me to get off my phone and just know that like if you're ever feeling bad about yourself on social media you're only seeing someone's highlight reels I know everyone always says this but sometimes I need a reminder so I'm actually kind of just saying this for myself too I think I'm going to go actually to this bookstore I've been wanting to try out new bookstores in New York because I feel like there's just so many of them wow I'm just like reading so much like I was reading in the beginning of this video now I'm going to a bookstore we'll take the train there I love bookstores there's a specific feeling that you get in a bookstore that you don't get anywhere else [Music] guys that was the coolest bookstore I think I've ever been in it was so like magical in there but I didn't know that a lot of it was like acting Playbook script type books so I didn't find anything when I was in there but yeah now I'm just sitting here on this bench romanticizing my life everyone's looking at me wow guys I've been vlogging in public so much today are you guys proud I'm scared right now I'm at the grocery store because I need to get a few things for dinner I got this new salad bowl and it's like making me want to make more salads I also got this milk I usually don't even really drink like normal milk but this is so good that I can't not it's the little Horizon strawberry milks like I said I got this new salad bowl even something as simple as this has been like making me want to make more salads so that's good for me I've been making this Caesar salad with chicken that's kind of been my go-to growing up my mom would always coat the chicken breast in egg and then breadcrumb and flour that's kind of what I like to do now just because she taught me that way I also like can't cook without FaceTiming [Music] someone damn well never mind it's just you and us you and me [Music] [Applause] my salad is done guys looks so small just cuz this bowl is so big I'm so excited to eat this guys so good I promise guys if you get a big salad bowl like this you're going to love making salads like 10 times more I got these at the grocery store this is the most random impulsive purchase ever because I don't even like raisins wait mom look at the salad that I made let me see what's in it chicken and like vinegarette and lettuce yeah did you make the chicken yeah oh my god [Music] wow okay guys so it's actually 2 hours later I ended up eating my salad I don't know what came over me but I just like cleaned my entire apartment like I did deep clean that I didn't think I was going to do and then once I got into it I was like I just can't stop like I need to make it perfect I really went add it and I really try to clean my floors my little kitchen area is all clean I have a pimple you guys that like it's starting right here I don't know if you guys can even like see it that much but it hurts you know that those are the worst pimples when you can't really see it but it just it hurts it's marinating right now and I know it's going to be just this big it's going to erupt on my face [Music] basically okay so maybe it is more visible than I thought it was ooh I am going to do this Mario badescu drying lotion is like one of the best things that I use for like Spot Treatment oh but I don't have a Q tip okay I'm just going to use these clean tweezers cuz I need to get to the bottom of this [Music] sediment well we did all we can do now we just go to bed and pray so since I was just cleaning my apartment I set aside a lot of PR that I've been collecting in a little pile over here you can see it in the corner right there and I've actually been kind of collecting this pile for a while I know some of you guys saw this a few Vlogs ago I basically asked you guys where you would prefer me to like have a giveaway if I should do it on Tik Tok Instagram YouTube and most of you guys said YouTube that's why I'm doing it on here and it feels right you know like YouTube is at the end of the day my home um so I just have a few things that I wanted to give to you guys because you guys truly mean the world to me I can't even like Express how much you guys mean to me so this is just a little thank you and I'm so excited for one of you guys to get this stuff I love these Brands they're truly the best I just get so much PR sometimes that I like don't have anything to do with it all by the way this is all going to be for one person but the first thing
