BACKYARD HANGING | Day 6

[@jasmine380]

I swear, I love how Rachel's 5 minutes of vlogging feel like 20 minutes. God, I love your content, its so calming

[@shalvyaingeindira6839]

Yeah right

[@jmoney6081]

not to sound cheesy but as a 15 year old who was always scared of living past 18, your videos really inspire me to not dwell on the hopelessness i'm feeling right now and focus on future possibilities instead

[@honeybrown6953]

I agree. I’ve been watching Rachel’s videos since I was 16 and now I’m 22! I feel that the idea of growing up becomes alarming the closer you get to being independent. You realize your future is in your hands and for me the idea of failing my expectations was scary. However, thinking things out throughly and separating my fears from my emotions have helped alot. I would definitely suggest a journal if you haven’t and want to try out writing out your thoughts. I’ve seen so much growth when I read back from it. Your future looks bright! I wish the best for you

[@wearilive]

I would do anything for Leica

[@victorlui5955]

😍

[@mbalipenelopedube340]

I just came from watching Brittany Bathgate's vlog and your name was mentioned among her fav YT content creators and I wholly agree, your work feels intimate. It doesn't feel like I'm watching a video of a person, it feels like I'm replaying my memories, you have the ability to teleport me into your videos and you pack so much into these few minutes. Please don't stop uploading after these 14 days. Discovering you last year was the best

[@thatschicblog]

omg brittany! whwat a sweetheart

[@lifelover1]

Down with a terrible cold and cough (not That but just a common cold jdkdks) and i’m so glad for these little immaculate vignettes of chill living 💖 also i celebrated one month on antidepressants today yayy. Little things in life. Hope everyone is having a good day 💖

[@thatschicblog]

so happy for you lia!!! good to be feeling that - also this inspired me to update the description with asking 'what have you celebrated today', it's such a beautiful question

[@lifelover1]

@@thatschicblog Aaah thank you for replying! It is a beautiful question indeed :) it reminds me of a quote that has gotten me out of bed on many days- to have a life of joy is simply to create one day, one moment of joy at a time! which is what i’ve been trying to do 😊 and your videos have been a great part of that since i was in my early 20s. Have a great day ahead Rachel!

[@Natalie-vr2rt]

I’ve been following you a longgg time Rachel, since it was just a blog - and in this little vlog series you’ve been doing I’ve seen something new in you, like you’re still continually growing but no longer searching? If that makes sense, almost like a content feeling about yourself, something a bit empowering.. anyway just want to say that I loved who you were and who you’ve become and I’m really happy to see that you love her too ♡

[@thatschicblog]

thank you so much for this Natalie, I slept on these words, especially the part of 'no longer searching', and I think... I feel that too. Thank you for reflecting on something I couldn't see in myself

[@wamialuko]

Your vlogs always feel like a breath of fresh air !

[@karolinelvnsethviko3618]

I LOVE your videos! They actually make me feel something, unlike the other things I watch on youtube. I do not know if that makes sense, but they are so chill and calming.

[@TOOTrux]

those strawberry earnings!! im in love

[@brealexandria]

you in the hammock at the end was like the perfect napping setup lol Loved the vlog =)

[@twiheartloverfyi]

Rachel’s channel is the only one that I’m willing and look forward to rewatching! We love you, Rachel!

[@heyitsmeelsag.3795]

Why does Rachel's vlog feels like a safe space for me to be vulnerable. It's like telling me it's okay to "feel", to be human, to have imperfections and still be loved. Awwww. Thank you for these vlogs lately. I speak peace in your heart and love you so truly deserve. Hugs from Adelaide. ✨😊

[@thatschicblog]

honored to hold a safe space for you dear xxx

[@straussshi]

that opening sequence was beautiful

[@prr3sha]

A hammock. A quilt. A view. A dog. And wine.

[@onacasal]

This vlogs are helping me to start de day with the right foot. Question: ¿How do you manage to be productive with out limiting your creativity? As a 20 year old creative I'm always trying to find the balance between the messy creative process and some structured productivity. Kisses from Argentina

[@hgdhfbv]

love your grape earrings at the end! you always look so cute. these vlogs are truly like morning coffee for me ❤️️

[@honeyjam9593]

loved this vlog so much! thank you for making them. and you could talk about what you're thinking about these days!

[@onionnring]

I am glad you are doing these vlogs and that you are doing okay. Forget the people who’ve hurt you and cherish those who love you for who you are! Love you!!

[@nadineescobar6634]

Love that ur taking us on ur trip with you!! It’s like a mental vacation!

[@LeaBolante]

Aww I miss jumping on trampolines! One of the things that I used to do when I went through occupational therapy as a kid was jumping on trampolines at the beginning of every session!

[@acec8]

Yes, so happy to wake up to this

[@BBardotMMonroe]

I'm celebrating my home, it's been more than a year since I was in Miami. So I decided to celebrate the things about it I love/miss the most ~ the colors of the houses, plants, ocean and sky

[@xoxjelloxox]

What model are you black sunglasses when you were at the dog park?

[@jessicacrawley7220]

I used to live in Encinitas, by Grandview and I also lived in Cardiff by San Elijo, waaaa I miss it! North County Coastal is so nice!

[@ChisiAmandaXiong]

[@mmmmikah]

I love and have always loved your vlogs. They always evoke some sort of emotion for me - most of the time calmness, joy and inspiration. Thank youuu for sharing a bit of your world 💗

[@titatesta4577]

Today I'm celebrating my relationship with my boyfriend! I didn't want to see him for a whole year because my parents may be in the risk group, but as for now, I've moved in with him and my in-laws. It's difficult having to live with a family that isn't mine, but at least I get to see him and catch up on the time we didn't get to spend together. Besides, his family is more relaxed" and yesterday I went out to eat for the first time in over a year! Loving these vlogs Rach

[@kaitlindoolittle6788]

Congrats and Omg! I can relate so much with you. My partner were long distance for awhile and now I live with him and his family. It is very difficult most of the time so I feel you! Sending you love

[@thatschicblog]

beautiful steps into a new life, congrats on closing your LDR!

[@bngr_bngr]

I hope she gets vaccinated soon. My best friend is also not practicing safe covid guidelines. I refuse to see her until she gets the vaccine.

[@Camelotskin]

Lol the Vaccine failed when tested on Animals but is somehow good for humans. Wait for 2 years and see what the real side effects are before promoting it.
