an honest life update.....

[@OhYeahItsJake]

I hope we get to know Lauren more like Dani. Cimorelli has such a barrier/shell around them. Dani opening her youtube channel is such a refresher.

[@hopeamy_mul]

Do you watch the Cimorelli Podcast? They open up there pretty much:) I got to know them way better through the podcast.

[@OhYeahItsJake]

@@hopeamy_mul I do but you can tell they are very subjective and careful of what they say. Like PG or like 13 rated

[@Shmally44]

@@OhYeahItsJake I feel like because they are so filtered, we will never see them so raw and real. I understand they have an “image” they need to follow, but that will only hold them back. Dani said that she made a new Instagram because the fan base she had on her Dani Cimorelli page probably wouldn’t appreciate how she is now. There is nothing wrong with her, but she isn’t filtered anymore. She’s a normal human. I respect cimorelli’s decision to be PG, but it just isn’t real. (I’m not saying they’re fake) I’m saying being so filtered isn’t common. I get they do it for their fans and that is great but I wish they would just open up more and not worry about that 100% clean PG image. I am not bashing them, like I said I respect it.

[@OhYeahItsJake]

@@Shmally44 Same! I feel the same way. I think the reason partly why their original music never fully like blew blew up was because there was this disconnect in rawness in their music too. Like I like their songs and they are relatable, but like in a generic way. Like broad topics. Thats why I kinda hope Dani released some music esp with Em, because theyre so open and I would love to hear a topic that isnt always about a boy or the 50th rendition of You're Worth It.

[@christiansoul01]

I think they are still real though Some people are like that in real life, like "pg 13"

[@coffeewithapop]

This is gonna be deep. Hopefully we will get to know Lauren better like Dani!!

[@somerandomgirl4232]

i hope so 🥺

[@ashleyhayton1010]

I’m sure it will try to be positive

[@RemiMW]

Me too!! Christina also started a channel and I’m getting to know her better as well!!

[@RemiMW]

Accept the fact you’re having bad week if it turns into a few bad days. Take that week to take my care of yourself, taking positive to yourself and see it as a healing week. Stay in your pjs past noon and binge watch Netflix. Have a week of comfy clothes and no make up, just face masks and comfort. Read a good book and watch happy movies. Give yourself the time to reload and come back charged than drained. Its better to power yourself than drag yourself

[@abigailkaminski3620]

I like how Dani made one of these videos and now Lauren is too! ❤️ we stan dauren 🥰😍

[@chocogurlcooookiesxD]

This is exactly why i love Lauren’s vlogs. She’s putting her diary entry into a video but at the same time it feels like she’s my sister just sitting in front of me talking about life. And she speaks with an air of maturity which is something i admire and really appreciate! We know you can do this, Lauren:-) 🤍

[@Thufferinthuckotash]

Hey Lauren, don’t apologise for making a “sad” video. You actually made me feel less alone because I always thought you seemed like one of those people who’ve “figured it all out”. I only recently realised that most other people don’t know what they’re doing with life and are figuring it out while they go along. I thought it was just me! Anyway, sorry for the rambling, and I wish you all the best ♥️

[@milaemmers4558]

I actually feel like she just described my whole past week. She exactly explained the way I felt this week. This video helped me so much. Thank you for always helpen me en being there for me. I love you so much Laur 😍❤️

[@NR3epic]

It’d be cool if we got to see more of the Real Lauren 🥺

[@sunshinesunshine4459]

the thing about the overall purpose and the fact that you are trying to figure out how to follow that path again in this new phase is just so accurate, I‘m sure a lot of people can relate, I myself have been trying to figure out how to put into words the current situation I‘m in right now, and you just did it for me, I love you so much and appresciate your personality and your way to look at things even more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, you are helping out so so so much❤️.

[@emilybarnes8321]

I feel like Lauren is on the brink of showing us her real self. Keeping up with the Cim image can only last for for so long and THAT’S OK!

[@Totoro-in-the-TARDIS]

People aren't two sided, "fake" or "real", there is always a mix of both on display, especially when you're filming yourself in a video you're going to publish. Lauren has always been pretty blunt about how she feels, this is just her sharing about burn out, stress, emotional exhaustion etc. I don't think she's on the "brink" of anything, rather just taking another approach of sharing her life from a different angle. Just my perspective! :)

[@mqricn]

i admire the way you constantly try to better yourself. i appreciate the fact that you are constantly trying to create content for us. you are very much appreciated lauren and we love you 🤍

[@andreamorgan996]

Thank you for being so vulnerable, it really sets such a wonderful example for young people to really open up and be honest with themselves about how they are feeling (also I love the ocean sounds in the background, so calming!!)

[@adrianafsp]

It’s so sad see Lauren like this! 😞 Lauren i love you... you’re so special! Better days are coming! God is protecting you! Hope everything gets better, you deserve the best

[@jayg1316]

I found this helpful honestly. I think this year put most people into a “new phase” and for me I also pushed myself to do more and work harder. I spent the 4 months of summer term focusing on my education and actively trying to sort through my thoughts and it was draining. Now I’ve taken the past few months to recharge and I just watch TV and help around the house . And ya sometimes it feels like I’m being useless, but this reminded me that I also need the recharge before I can get back to it.

[@nikahatt]

Sounds like you had an awakening that you aren’t comfortable with fully explaining because you’re not sure of what exactly this path is leading to, and you don’t want people to judge you before you even really know what you’re going to do. That’s what I got from this mumbojumbo. Can’t wait for the reveal of Lauren! Let things fall in place before you tell people what you’re going to do. Makes it easier because they can comment all they want, but you’ve already made the change and they can’t take that away from you.

[@bethanyhaughton559]

This resonates with me so so much! Literally had a meltdown last week where I was clearly burnout and had to leave work for the day. I was beating myself up so much about not being able to get everything done. Thanks for sharing, shows I’m not on my own. 💪🏼

[@rubs3987]

I get this so much. And knowing others are going through this can really help.

[@jadeguthery383]

lauren, i think you are absolutely perfect. whether you're having a good day or bad day. whether you have messy hair or neat and clean hair. we all have our ups and downs. we all have our moments. things always happen. time goes on. life goes on. were human. you don't have to be sorry or anything about a video, your life, your situation, anything. if or when you see this, i love you. everything will be okay. life will get better.

[@giovannanunes7502]

don't be sorry for doing a "not positive" video, sometimes the honest ones are the ones that really helps us, thanks for that 💖

[@Sarah-zj3sl]

So vague... I hope that as she becomes more comfortable expressing herself, she can more directly and clearly talk about her issues and thoughts.

[@Linda.M_]

I think what helped me a lot was realizing that even if I can, I don't always have to give 100%. I don't have to improve myself all the time. It's important to rest once in a while, even in the moments you don't feel like you have to. Because like that you can take some pressure off of yourself. You are allowed to just accept things as they are without always thinking about the next step. Not achieving something all the time, even if it's just for yourself, doesn't make you any less worthy. You are allowed to be who you are right now and to life like that for a little while and just be, without any new achievements. You are worthy of that. And when you feel like it's time to work on yourself again, then just do it. For me there is no end goal because you can always be better than you already are, so I should just make the way my goal and always accept myself no matter how far I've come. Probably not like that for everyone but it helped me a lot so I thought I could share it.

[@fakishafabre7936]

This sounds like (dramatic title but) a classic “Quarter Life Crisis” - I went through this exact thing last year and a lot of my friends are going through it now. You’re not alone! Naming it helped me a lot. This was probably a 9 month period of my life so don’t rush the process, give yourself grace and take it day by day. Honor the process and accept yourself where you are at. Burning out isn’t a bad thing & growth and learning never ends! You got this.

[@anitadaniel4587]

i got to say that this was super confusing 😂but that’s how emotions are. you put so many things that i go through into words. i hope you don’t think that you are expected to always be positive because that’s not realistic. we all go through so many emotions. some days everything goes according to plan and some days everything falls apart. that’s just how life is but i find it hard to accept that. i always feel like this pressure to have everything figured out and i just don’t. i am always trying to improve myself and be a better version of my self. so i am constantly overthinking and over analyzing everything and it’s so exhausting. i understand how you feel

[@christiansoul01]

oh my... Thank you so much for this. I did get lost, actually. In life I mean. And your thoughts on this matter just helped me to start realizing what is actually happening with me and how to move on from it. I cried a bit because you said something that is actually true about my life and you're probably never going to read this but I've been here for quite a long time (about 7 years or so, I mean watching Cimorelli) and you guys are the ones who kept me sain, I'm pretty sure. And I don't know how many times I commented on Cimorelli 's or or videos (with songs reliable as if I wrote them) so you could just know how helpful you are and thankful I am.

[@elle3939]

[@kelseymclean3429]

Lauren never fails to amaze us, you are incredible for just always giving us the truth and being so honest with us ly ❤️

[@jessicalehr5867]

She is being herself. Also saying “like” a lot could be apart of anxiety or shyness. (I experience it) Shes being vulnerable to us and it might be a little uncomfortable to her. It’s no different than when people say “umm” a lot when they talk. You can’t push someone to share everything when they are not ready to. It’s her channel as well, she will be ready when she is ready. Even if she doesn’t want to, thats her personal choice as well. I don’t share everything to everyone, some things are meant to be kept personal, if that’s how she feels. Also just know you are not alone in the “realizing trauma” department, especially dealing with emotional/physical exhaustion. Its a process. Sometimes its hard and long but just know you have “fans/friends” who are in your corner and support you and are rooting for you. We appreciate you being open.

[@midnightsmoothie]

I'm honestly SO confused. What is she talking about?

[@AnaBeatriz-jo1yj]

the thing is that all of us are in constant evolution of spirit, that is why we change all the time and we need time to adapt with these phases that we have. These phases exist because we need to learn things and as we do it we grow as spirit. We are kind of been challenged all the time, and it makes part of growing. That's what she is passing trough

[@ellieterrey6496]

Omg this was so good! The fact that she had the courage to come on here and he this honest about what she’s going through is so brave! Well done Lauren, proud of you ❤️❤️

i feel the same thing right now.. it’s like i’m looking at my life without living her, i don’t know how to express it..

[@vincenzoallosi9966]

Hey Lauren ! Here's my honest comment to your honest life update. I think your fans don't expect positivity all the time, life is hard and that's a fact. I personally loved this video because it's more than entertainment, it's about growing and lifting each other up ! 💪💪 Vulnerable feelings (being sad, lost, etc...) are simply a part of being human. And even though it is painful, what a beautiful strength to embrace our humanity. WHO CAN RELATE ? WOO ! On a lighter note, cute pyjamas. 😄

Ngl after watching this video, I had to do some research on the linguistics of the word “like”. I hope you start feeling soon! Change is rough and hard to adapt to, but you’re a strong person so I know you’ll get through it

Don't ever feel bad about taking a step back, and letting yourself relax, do nothing, and recharge. Burnout is a real thing, and modern society pushes people to ignore the warning signs to pursue the 'need' to constantly be accomplishing things.

[@marshaduncan6587]

Lauren, this was so relatable to me. The difficulty you're having describing where you're at in life is me right now too. I'm glad you realize you can take a time out. Reflecting on your life and being content with who you are is something that just doesn't happen overnight. It's a process. Treat yourself with honest, sister chats, try something fun you haven't done in awhile, sleep-get rested! I will be praying for you right now that God will give you strength, hope, happiness and most of all purpose for your life. We all need need that right now. Much love. ❤❤❤

[@addisonwhite8262]

I can completely relate to you. I have had anxiety for a while and with anxiety comes at least a little bit of depression and it’s been really hard. Especially since I’m someone who gets over that stuff by being social and talking to people and it’s been really hard this year since I don’t have those distractions. And I know it’s probably not the best way to deal but it keeps me in a good mood the majority of the time and helps me to think of reasons to be positive for others and myself. But now it’s been really hard just to try to find ways to keep being positive since the only distraction I have is my phone and that especially causes me to be self contious. So thank you for sharing how you’re doing , it’s helped me today.

Yeah what you were saying definitely made sense! I’m kind of in a similar stage tbh.

It’s hard/weird tho. 😬😆 so I’ve just had to keep reminding myself that God is still on the throne! And everything I (and you) are going through He has a reason for. ☺️ So yeah I guess the best thing to do is to KEEP trusting and seeking God ‘cause He is (or should be...oof. 😬😂) the most important part/relationship in my life. And I know once you’re in a good place with Him, everything else falls into place, or even if it doesn’t, you can just rest in knowing His plan is better, and has your life planned out. ☺️ lol wow. Idk, this is a weird comment lol, but I think it was just a pep talk for myself lol, but if this was helpful for anyone else, that’s great, praise God 👌🙌😂☺️ anywho, I hope you’re in a better place now Lauren!
