Wow wow wow thank you for sharing your stories and the wave of warmth and love in here. Really love and appreciate you all and just, thank you so much for giving me a platform to express myself

Not to myself : always trust Ashley's recommandations. I love how genuine you are.

I literally just found you because of bestdressed!! So excited to catch up on your videos :)

This is a corner on the internet where I feel heard, even without me ever speaking. Love to you Rachel ❤️

I find myself coming back to this video every now and again, amazed at the way she portraits moving and its various stages. Her moving places, homes, people and time. Time in this vlog has such a profound effect on the viewer, and the way she utilizes time to deeply impact the viewer with her message is a talent I wish to acquire one day. Her use of music, pacing, storytelling and overall mood create this concoction of a beautiful masterpiece. This vlog might be my favourite one so far on this platform; never in my 19 years of living have I seen so much vulnerability yet... contentment as well? in a 17-minute vlog. I can't even begin to describe how much this vlog impacted me, but I just wanted to air my thoughts out a bit.

Never before have I wanted to fast forward or click to the middle so badly, but knew I had to respect the timing that this video is meant to unfold. I hope you're doing okay, and know that all of us support whatever rate of self-growth you are taking on at this time

you said it! ✨radical acceptance! 💫

Hi 👋🏽 came back to this gem after Jenn mentioned the slow zoom out and I had to rewatch this iconic moment once more. Crazy when she said it I knew EXACTLY what she meant. Simply timeless

After coming out of a 5 yr abusive relationship I found my love and married him. 6 years later and now with a 1 year old I caught him talking to another girl. Eventhough he assures me there was nothing physical and it was merely ego I feel such shame from it. I can't even talk to anyone because I thought we were the perfect couple. The only thing keeping me sane is my son. Thank you for your vulnerability, been wanting to vent and speak my truth just had nowhere to do it at.

Sending you lots of love Rachel. As a fellow sagittarian and a like minded soul, I can tell you that I grew a lot and became more conscious and re-identified myself and my purpose after ending my 7yr relationship. I think sometimes we need that space or a pause from people to figure shit out. All I can say is, this is just a chapter in ur life, it doesn’t define you. Embrace what your going through, your thoughts, your emotions are valid and just be open to w/e opportunities or situations universe has stored for you. PS. I think this might be my first ever KZfaq comment 🙃

I'm just here to say: I love you Rachel ♥️

These past couple of days I’ve been craving a “Rachel video” and was rewatching the art of loneliness, so this came in the right time! I love how you are so honest and raw with your emotions and your videos always makes me so emotional. Also want to use this opportunity to thank you for the warde community which has been a big point of relief for me during this time. I’ve personally been going through a rough couple of years and most of that time I spent angry and confused for the situations that I was living but this year I finally started to see it for what it is and with that came a necessity for change and action, I don’t know but sometimes you just have to ride the wave of the moment your living in, even if is a bad moment, for things to change and for you to grow.

I cannot stress this enough. Rachel’s videos make me FEEL. That’s it. And I love it

A friend once told me that people will come in and out of your life. Sometimes it's due to disagreements, sometimes you just grow apart. Other times it's for to unexpected circumstances. But you should always remember to cherish the time and memories you have together, the good and the bad. This is how you'll learn and how you grow as a person. Based on the last 5 minutes on this video, I think you already know this. Though you questioned your own comments, they showed a lot of maturity, care, and wisdom.

Hi Rachel, your honesty in this video is admirable. I just got out of an abusive relationship and am currently going through the healing process while in quarantine and as it has been EXTREMELY hard there are some good days and I am so so grateful to be able to discover myself and who I am after 4 years. I'm rooting for you and this journey, sending you lots of love, light and positivity and if you have a mailing address still I'd love to send you some snail mail

Just finished watching, and can I just say that I don’t think I’ve ever felt such a connection to someone that I’ve never met but I truly have so much love for you as a person. I’m glad you are staying strong in everything. You were built for it. Stay safe 💖

I’m going through some similar things now and I completely feel you. Sending you so much love & light, we will get through this ❤️

this made me cry! i'm so sorry you had to go through so much over these last months. you're one of the most special and inspiring people that i've come across in all my years watching youtube and this beautiful video is no exception. thank you for sharing your journey with us. wishing you all good things ahead

I hope everything falls into place soon enough, it was very brave of you to share this experience with us and I wish you the clarity and the happiness that this new journey could offer! Sending love your way

change in inevitable, growth is intentional. over the years of watching you, youve truly blossomed. it’s bittersweet for things to end but great things await you Rachel! Thank you for keeping us up to date 💗

when I read the title I sort of knew it was coming but it was so emotional and heartbreak to witness. I've grown to love u and Wes and your Christmas/birthday vlogs, sending you so much love

Sending you love! May you find peace in this time and may things unfold in the best possible way for you, whatever that might hold. 💛

Holding back tears the whole time I watched this..going to have a glass of wine and let it all out. Stay well and I'll be thinking of you and look forward to your next update. I see you respecting your journey and I will stay positive that the outcome will be alright for you both. Love your dog:)) xoxo

This video just made me cry... it somehow, unintentionally.... brought so much clarity to my life... like a song that hits you by expressing exactly how you feel. thank you Rachel thank you, lots of love, and stay safe

I love you so much!!!!! I am wishing you love and light!!! You’re so kind for sharing your life with us, I could comment all day

wow this upload MADE my day...rachel is so refreshing it’s crazy what watching a video does!

Sending you lots of love and positive energy Rachel, thanks for always being so genuine and real even in the rough times 💗

This was so lovely, I watched it twice. I have so many things that I've been having to figure out lately and your vulnerability and honesty really touched me. Thank you for this!

Hey Rachel, I know how you’re feeling. I went through a similar situation recently. Moving between 3 living situations, that same transition and also that in between time where you’re staying at a friends place. I don’t have a significant other but in place of that I have a very important 17year friendship that has been put on the rocks by life and I’m also processing that fallout of that as well. I feel like I’m in the same place as you, and your video really spoke to me. You really showed utmost poise and candor in making and sharing this video and it’s refreshing to see and hear your take on the situation you’re in and going through. Thank you for the videos you make which are so creative and well thought out and capture the essence of the moments in your life. You’re not alone, watching this video I said to myself, “we’re all going thru it aren’t we?” my last year has been very similar in the big life changes department. Just wanted to send you love, validation, and understanding 💛

The grace you carry through such difficult transitions in your life, wow. It's just incredibly admirable. Sending you BIG love!

Thanks for always for being so open and vulnerable, even with the things that are maybe tougher to talk about or were harder to go through. Thanks for always sharing your light!!

rachel, i can’t imagine how hard it must have been to go through all the past footage from those difficult moments. always love your vulnerability and willingness to share with us. wishing you healing ❤️❤️❤️

Stay safe, Rachel. Thank you for your honesty and putting this together. Hope everything is getting better soon. We love you!

I’m not crying, you’re crying!! Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been following you since my teenage years and find so much inspiration from you. Trust the process, you are so brave and we’re so excited to see what greatness emerges from this!!! ♥️

I’m so happy you took time for yourself! So much love for you and West whether you guys are together or not☺️ keep inspiring us Rachel and your way of editing gives me life!❤️

Take heart Rachel, we consciously learn/pick ourselves up again and again. Stay safe!

you’re absolutely the best! thank you for your vulnerability and gifted creativity

Your attitude with life is so admirable, honestly! You are such a great person and you are teaching us how to live life as it goes, with everything it has for us. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being so honest.

My heart ached for you watching this and also made me feel comforted by your honesty and wonderful outlook on these unexpected challenges. Thank you for sharing, it's beautifully put together. Sending you love & hope this all leads to better things soon 💞

i cannot thank you enough for posting this video, i just started following you but i’m already so in love with how honest and inspiring your videos are. Thank you again

Ashley brought me to your channel, and it's a treasure! Thank you for being so willing to share your life. You articulate thoughts + feelings + experiences beautifully. Hoping for the best for you. I'm so excited to watch more videos!

really appreciate your honesty and openness in talking about the difficult periods you've been through in the past few months, as well as the happy moments. It's the norm to only show the good things and the times when we're happy and make it seem like its all sunshine and rainbows for us on social media/in vlogs, so I love that you didn't leave out or brush aside the parts that made you sad or that were painful. The way you've presented your life and your experiences feels so real and so refreshing, I'm looking forward to your future videos! stay healthy and safe

Your videos have always brought me so much comfort, Rachel. Hang in there ❣️❣️

Hey Rachel I remember you gave me some relationship advice on instagram a long time ago and that helped me alot at the time, I am really grateful for that. I am living proof that no matter what, everything is going to work out just fine in the end. And also, there is no end, it doesnt get there. We just grow stronger and stronger and we keep going. Lots of love for you!

Went thru a very similar situation re: the ending of a nearly 7 year long relationship. I can relate to that difficulty articulating it all, so much nuance when you've loved and been in relationship with someone for that long...it's so tough to say goodbye to those hopes and dreams but I've found it to be a huge opportunity for personal growth and getting to know myself as an individual (especially in isolation) and I hope you've found some joy and growth thru it somehow too!

Wow thank you so much for this video Rachel! The timing of this video is really wild because I I am going thru a similar situation with my bf for the past couple months. Everything you said about relationships just hits home for me. Ty for your videos! ILY Rachel!

I love the way you portray your emotions through video, both in montages, and speaking. The way you're dealing with these big life changes with such wisdom and grace is also really admirable. I wish much happiness your way :)

I came back to this video because I feel like I’m going through the same process. So many life changes and relationship changes. It’s comforting to know that someone can relate to my situation. You give me hope.

Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us! You're still glowing in my eyes and I am sending you good energy.

Rachel, your videos are so incredibly refreshing and always relatable. I swear every time I watch one of your videos it’s like hitting a reset button. Feels like a fresh start. Thanks for always being so open and honest with us and creating such beautiful videos💖

This hit me so hard. I was in a 10-year relationship. We broke up a year ago and it's still really hard for me. What you said at the end was beautiful and that's exactly how life ebbs and flows. Your video made me miss California so badly. I'm a born and raised Californian, but after my break up I moved to a different state to be closer to my family that moved here and man do I miss my home state. I wish I went through my break up with as much grace as you did. I wish I had "radical acceptance" at that time. But I guess, I needed more space from it to see it better. I was a little more reactionary and I regret that a lot. I'm still growing and it was a huge lesson learned. Wishing you all the best. You have a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing your story. It made me feel less alone in this world. Especially, when everyone in my life is in a relationship and try not to talk about relationship stuff in front of me thinking they will just upset me. So, I just care on the best I can.

This made me cry. Your vulnerability is incredibly relatable and your willingness to share that shows how strong you are. I can barely cry in front of my friends, and always say "i'm ok, its fine" Thank you for sharing your strength

I love your content Rachel💖 Thank you for being so creative and open and real it’s so so so appreciated. I’ve always come back to your videos bc they are so well thought out and beautifully made. You truly are a breath of fresh air💖💖💖

love oyu Rachel, thanks for keeping it real and being so open and fluid and inspiring. youre a bright shining light in this world!!

This video moved me in ways I've not been moved in months but have been dearly craving. Thank you for being so raw and real. My admiration and respect for you only grows with each video you put out!

Thanks for this video, it literally came right on time. I'm going through something similar, and its not easy especially during a pandemic. Life changes are abrupt, hard, sometimes good, but you can do nothing but keeping moving forward to get through it. We all have expectations and ideas of what we think and wish to happen but in the end shit happens and you may be let down. Thank you for sharing rachel, and most importantly thank you for always being vulnerable.

Love you Rachel. Stay strong - you got this girl. Things happen to make you a stronger, mindful & courageous person. Bless up!

omg this video

I really appreciate to sharing your story Rachel. I also was going through anew normal” long before quarantine and it’s nice to know I wasn’t alone during those times. Please stay safe and healthy!

Sending you so so so much love! With everything that happened, you handled it all with so much grace, love, and maturity, I admire you immensely for that!! 💕💕💕 your new home looks gorgeous btw, love the staircase and high ceilings! I hope you and Leica are doing well 🥰🥰

The past few months have definitely been difficult. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Sending love and positivity.

Discovered your channel this morning, and am in love with how raw, genuine and just simply “cool” you are! You have got something so special in you!

You may think you aren’t the best at articulating how you feel through words but I definitely feel what you are feeling through every video you make. 🌈

I've been following your journey for so long and I just want you to know that I appreciate you. For simply being you. I know it's been so rough for us all, and we're going through this uncertain time differently. One thing that has been helping me is telling myself that, "what's meant for be, will always be." If it's for me, I don't have to chase or stress over it. It'll come to me no matter what. Just keep doing what you love, trust the process and everything will fall into place when it's supposed to. So much love ❤️

Rachel thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable with us. Hopefully everything will work out in the end, what’s meant to be for you will make its way back. It’s cheesy but very true. Sending you lots of love and positive energy🤍🤍🤍

Sending you lots of love Rachel💖. You are strong and resilient and will get through this. I’m older than you but you are so wise beyond your years and a true inspiration. I teared up when you said “ radical acceptance”. I’ve been going through a tough time with my health since last year and this was a reminder that even though times get tough, accepting life for what it is and taking time to heal and grow is one of the bitter sweet things in life.

going through similar relationship situations with loved ones around (&not around) i’m so grateful to have found your channel when i did, the ability to understand what’s happening amongst us collectively is hard to articulate as you said- however, sharing is very important , healing in itself. you are not alone, no one ever is ☺️ sending love. x

Everyone has their own story of pain and I love your way of accepting, growing and letting go. When you let the universe take a hold of life it really makes it a bit easier to live✨ having my fair share of guilt and sadness it really took a lot to understand not everything is in my control and I am okay with that 💫 thank you for sharing your story to us 💗

I’ve been having the worst day and honestly you made it that much better. Watching someone be emotionally vulnerable on this platform is rare and I really really appreciate. Thank you Rachel.

thank you for this video. thank you for being so transparent and telling your story both the good and the "bad" parts of it in such a lightweight way. not hiding the bad and not sugar coting it but still showing it in a beautiful and positive way. much love from brazil, julia

been with you for the past 5 - 6 years. and youve brought so much joy and peace with your delicate framing of the window into your life. i hope that we, your viewers, can give back a bit of that to you in your time of healing and self love and discovery. it is what it is

Feel like this video was a sign for me. I'm suppose to be graduating uni this year and I had a job lined up after graduation. But now, since corona happened everything has been cancelled. It is hard to look to the future.. when it feels so unclear. This video not only made me cry but also made me realize that life goes on. Specifically at 11:28 when you say "C'est la vie. It is what it is. We will find our way. Things happen for a reason. I really believe that". I believe that to. I believe this video popped up for me to see. Thank you for sharing your raw emotion. Wishing you all the best. Life goes on! xx F

This was so lovely, thank you for sharing. I'm sometimes conflicted by the way we share so much of ourselves nowadays via mediums like vlogging or Instagram or other social media outlets -- but this is such a positive for me in why it can be so beneficial and important. You are so honest and transparent (I've never come across you before until this video popped up randomly as a suggested video to watch!). Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing your truth. It's human, and more personally, it really hits home to some of what I'm currently experiencing in my own life. How life (and relationships) can look on the outside or to the public eye is often not how they are behind closed doors or in privacy. Thank you! x

Rachel, I don’t really have the words right now but sending you love and gentleness as you navigate healing and life. Thank you for sharing yourself all these years and making this space on the internet feel real when it consistently feels diluted of authenticity and genuine connection. There really isn’t anyone like you. There were periods I would run one of your vlogs in the background of me getting ready for work and starting my day and they gave me great joy and appreciation for the day to day occurrences that you’ve beautifully documented time and time again. The current situation we’re all experiencing on some level has shown me that we’re witnessing the true nature of this life - there is much unknown and it ebbs and flows in every moment. I’ve been reading Pema Chodron’s ‘Things fall apart’ and maybe it could be of some support to you, too. Take care of yourself

Rachel I love your vlogs and your overall positive attitude 💕 I always feel like I’m catching up with a friend when I’m watching your videos.

it always inspires me the way you embrace life; accepting the good, the bad, and the fluidity of it all 💛

Thank you for being so unhinged and honest with what you're going through - that is truly brave and definitely an inspiration to others to acknowledge their truth instead of avoiding and hiding behind it...Also love how you string your thoughts together with video and music and you! Lots of good wishes to you..take care !

phew, i felt your emotions through the screen. you've been through so much ! i am glad you're taking it slow and healing. time is really the main thing that helps healing.

thank you for being vulnerable and showing us that side of moving through life that can be foggy and imperfect.

Watching your Chanel has brought me so much joy and comfort these past weeks, bcs I'm feeling so lonely and afraid that things won't back to normal in this quarantine, but when I open my computer to watch your videos while drinking a cup of tea, I feel like I'm myself again and everything will pass. thank u, srsly I love your work!

sending you love 💖

you’re one of my favourite youtubers Rachel! you’re always so genuine and every video you make is unique in its on way 💕

I send you genuine love and resilience and support on your way Rachel ❤️

missed you and your videos so much Rachel! your strength is so inspiring, and I appreciate you taking us on this journey with you. thank you for always being so candid and open ❤️

i-we are so here for you! your journey is inspiring because your not afraid of being real. i love your channel so much and this video was so beautiful even though it wasnt really that happy

The introspective queen! I always appreciate your videos because you take your time. From following this channel over the years, I know that after the pause you release and share so eloquently. Thank you for allowing us into your delicate and real eco system 🌹✨

I love you Rachel, you’re the big sister I never had. Take as much time as you need to embrace whatever changes that may come your way. Understanding your mind, body and soul’s pace is not to be frowned upon, it should be done as delicately as possible ❤️ i’ve been struggling with my “new normal” too...on top of living in lockdown with just my husband with no physical interaction with the outside world for over 2 months, I’m 4 months pregnant so i’ve been quite a mess. Hope everyone here is well and safe. Sending love and light to all of you ✨

Rachel, you're such a sweet, calming soul. I just love watching you be and all the things that you say really get to me. It almost feels like I'm a part of your story, you're special kiddo. I hope you get your groove back real soon and until then stay strong and take care of Leica and yourself. xx

I missed you so much! You are so strong and I always find myself learning a lot from you ❤️

you're so strong raych. the fact that you were able to go thru all that footage, select and compile this w an analysis for us shows that you have been able to move forward, even if it is so slow to you in your mind. most people move past by avoiding the memories, or at least i do, cos it's so anxiety inducing

Ashley from best dressed recommended your channel and I couldn’t be happier, you’ve brought a sense of calmness during these times even through your own chaos. So thank you and I’m definitely subscribing. Sending much love ❤️

Rachel, sometimes I believe that the Universe is trying to tell me something whenever you upload a vlog. I remember how a few years ago your How to Be Alone video gave me the enlightenment that I need it from a big sis sort of figure when I was going through a friendship breakup and it changed my perspective in being alone and figuring myself out in a foreign country. Then I saw the thumbnail to this video today and sure enough I needed to hear about letting go and healing and moving on as I just went through a big transition myself. I hope you are doing well and life is treating you with love and kindness and blessings, and thank you for giving it to us too!

Thanks for sharing, Rachel. I think you spoke on relationships so beautifully and I really appreciate that. Sending you all the good vibes

It’s been a rough couple months for everyone, but I appreciate you still coming out and sharing some of your experiences. I imagine it’s not always easy to relive the hard moments. Love your vulnerability and openness Rach, you inspire me always to be more emotionally in tune with myself! ❤️ Forgot to add, love the editing on this one!

It's hard for me to articulate the way your lens for life makes me feel. You're a treat to virtually know. Thank you!

I don’t know what it is about your videos but it always makes me so emotional 😭💖

Wishing you all the best! Thanks for sharing! Separation is not easy. You did great sharing your thoughts and feelings. The footage was beautiful and heartbreaking. Your dog was my highlight 💖 something about them can really heal you 🙏 hope you're still together 🙏

Beautifully said Rachel! That zoomed out shot of you sitting on the ledge made me tear up! Such beautiful words and cinematography ✨ wish you all the best and thank you for sharing 💕

Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing your life in your video. I have watched your videos for the past few years and grown to love your work. I just want to say that you are still who you are and shall be loved for who you are regardless of what happens in relationships. Take care❤️

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this part of your life with us. Your content is consistently beautiful and you have an amazing skill at editing your videos and I can't wait to see what else you have to share 🤗🤗 Sending you love and good vibes ❤
