hi ryan

[@franziska3525]

the "notice how you feel after you hanged out with friends and if you feel drained or energetic" hit deep. i was currently stuck in a friendship that made me feel drained constantly! and it's so sad to know that you could use this energy on other friends who give you so much more back! thanks for the reminder that i did nothing wrong:)

[@dreaplascencia]

Having a solid diverse Christian community friendships has definitely been of one of my prayers, loved watching this! 🤍

[@sarzlaw10]

Amen, and diverse definitely! In age, ethnicity, walks of life, disabilities and socioeconomically - it would be wonderful to reflect God's kingdom in your community like that 🤍

i know there are so many comments about it already but i’m loving this series - i’m so glad we have a platform in this day and age to go to and remind ourselves everyone is slowly trying to figure things out in this crazy world and you really have to appreciate what’s right in front of you. ty haley

[@kaylaenglish6414]

this one spoke to me. i am 20, turning 21 and am having an extremely difficult time with friendships in my 20s. this is so helpful in realizing that i need to put myself out there! thank you so much!

[@briannachance]

I felt thissss

[@Lizzy_Garfield]

This is what I’m struggling with currently. But I also don’t put myself out there I’m naturally an introvert and struggle on first impressions because I overthink. I’m a stay at home wife but I’m thankful for my church community where I have solid friendships that are consistent!!

[@EricaCarsonn]

Being in my 20's (25) I'm definitely finding it difficult to make friends. I've never been one to have a big friend group but it's been a lot harder to keep people around after graduating high school. At this point in my life, like you said, everyone is at different stages of their lives. Some are in school still, some are getting married, moving, so with that it's hard to find time for each other. I hope I get to have my moment like you did where I find a core group of friends who really bring out the best in me and will give me the same feelings that your friend group does. Thank you for another amazing video in this series!

[@rodsitamara]

im in highschool right now, year 11, and lowkey all this talk about friendship after graduation made me super anxious before. in australia, its not really a common thing to move far away for university but still change is super scary but this video really made me less anxious about the future :)

[@Ready13]

Same and I am guessing you just graduated year 12 this year because me too (not to bring back that anxiety..)

[@nutellanathalie]

Jesus really does get to us in the most miraculous ways. I’ve been feeling like I’ve been in a slump these past few months lately and this series was HEAVEN-SENT!!! Really inspired me to start taking my devotionals seriously, going out of my way to make time for friends, and just changing my love in general. You are a blessing Hailey.

[@alliemurray2812]

I love this. I'm a christian too and it has been very hard to find a good community of friends who I can do life with! I'm still in that part of life, but I know that it'll happen sometime and I have to trust God to bring the right people into my life! This episode was awesome Haley, thank you.

I CANT HALEY AND RYAN HOLDING HANDS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING

[@melamoo._]

yesterday was my freshmen orientation and it's so true when u get asked "how do you make friends" you literally dont know like it just happens. all i did was pray and hope i can make some friends and it just happens and tbh im grateful for that like it takes so much mental strength to introduce urself to someone but at the same time it kinda feels effortless because that friendship just happens in an instant

[@raspclaire2313]

Wow, this series was an answer to prayer. I'm currently taking a gap semester and am back home from college where I don't have but one close friend nearby. It's hard to put myself out there knowing that I'll be back on campus with my friends in the fall, but this video has encouraged me to put myself out there. Praying everyone who reads this finds uplifting community

[@Mae-fp5br]

literally almost cried because i feel like im trying to mentally prepare myself for what adulting has to offer. i'm about to graduate in about a month and i've been so overwhelmed with who i should keep in my life and who i know i have to let go of. thank you for this video haley :,)

[@annemiduck2548]

I dont know if this advice will help you but i can Tell you you will be surprised what people will stay in your life after graduation. Just take your time and try to accept that there will naturally be people you cannot stay in touch with and there are sooooo many more peoole to come into your life. So many great people you dont know yet. Wish you all the best for your future!

[@justttphoebe]

i'm actually in my 22 this year, and i've only started making an actual bond with my friends. i don't have many friends yet, but the friend I currently have makes me feel more better. i like when someone makes this type of videos bc it's very relatable, helpful for realizations and self improvements. love u haley!

[@cassidyvoss415]

i’m in a season of being single & trying to figure out how to be alone/do more stuff and this series has been so so encouraging and fun!! i look forward to it every week!

[@mj-monkey]

this episode was so goooood. if you are reading this and feel alone, just remember to put yourself out there, even if it’s scary. tons of people feel the exact same way you do and who will love you and care about you!! you are never truly alone! thanks for all the encouragement, haley💕💕

Haley I’m so proud that you are sharing your relationship with God on your channel💗💗 I love this series I can’t wait to see you grow even more! Happy Easter weekend love 💐

[@carissaruth8399]

As someone who is only a few months older than you, it is so refreshing to see someone so close to my age that I can actually relate to on so many levels. I am also recently married, and also a Christian. As someone who is pretty introverted, making new strong friendships is a struggle for me. I’m so inspired by, and loving this new series of yours :)

[@jordantapp6857]

It is so nice to see Haley so genuinely happy and so herself

[@urltima]

No, because Saige had it RIGHT. As someone with BPD, it can feel SO personal and like abandonment when people don't reach out for a while, but it's just simply not true - 99.9% they love you no matter where they are, who they're with, etc. Their love for you doesn't just disappear randomly when they aren't with you, and that's something I've had to really truly grasp. I'm STILL learning to accept that. Their love doesn't disappear along with their physical presence. Just like if you love art, but it doesn't mean you hate it every second you're NOT actively being artistic. Simply untrue and silly. You don't stop existing to other people, and you don't stop being loved just because you aren't physically present with someone.

[@bellasayo4948]

This is honestly one of the most encouraging series on youtube.

[@meganowens5836]

this series, but this episode in general was literally stunning haley omgggg. i’m so happy that you’re finding a christian community, it’s something i continue to pray for, and now that i’m moving i’ll have the opportunity! so proud of you girl, love you🤍

I love how you’re editing this series! It’s the perfect mix of like tv and vlog! Also, ik you’re getting a lot of stuff for your kitchen to help you in cooking more, I highly recommend getting a meat thermometer! I am so worried about eating undercooked meat, the thermometer puts my mind at ease. They usually come with a guide to know what meats need to be what temperatures.

[@joisarodas]

Wow, this was so encouraging to watch. I've also prayed for Christian community and it's awesome to see how God answered your prayer. Gotta keep waiting! ❤

[@indiamae3599]

Hey Haley, I'm also 21 and married and a Christian, and this video made me think more about praying for the kind of friends i want in my life and the kind of friend i want to be. thank you, Making friends out of high school is hard and maintaining relationships is hard, i really appreciated that line from your friend "just because you don't have contact with your friends for a while, doesn't mean they don't value you" I needed to hear that. Thank you!

[@mar9560]

I’m also 21, watching this series really inspired me to be more conscious of how I want to spend my 20s ❤️

I too am praying for some Godly friends, or even one or two really great friend. THANK YOU for this video, its so hard to find friendships in your 20's. They are so important and i believe God places everyone in your life and the most perfect times. I am loving this series haley!

I love how you said that if you want to make friends you have to be uncomfortable and put in the effort but it just so happens that I hate being uncomfortable and putting effort

[@kmac23]

friendships are so essential. Making friends in yours 20s is so difficult. A year ago I moved to a new town, and I still don't have friends here which is a struggle because I thrive off connections. I find it very difficult to put myself out there, and the friend dates I have gone on, weren't those instant click connections. Back home, I do have friends and long distant friendships are also difficult. I've never felt like I belong in a group of friends, I was always an outsider or floated around different groups. It filled my heart seeing you have fun with friends and I hope someday I can do the same.

[@mary.1984]

Honestly, making friends is harder when you're older ( even when in college or at a job ! ) it's not as easy as when you were a kid though. ( I still know my best friend from when I was 13, I'm 37 now. )

[@brittneyc.7819]

I have never felt more seen and not alone. I think this series is so beautiful and shows that we all don’t know what we are doing sometimes and that we all kind of fake it until we make it. I feel so frustrated in the friendship aspect at my college and it makes me want to cry to know that other people feel the same way as me and that I’m not alone in that feeling. Thank you Haley for this series❤️

I don't have many friendships as im still 15 and still have my whole future ahead of me to make more, but watching this made me realise how many beautiful friendships I have with people at the moment and made me think about each person individually.

[@emmacollett8941]

Your friend Saige is gorgeous and spitting facts. If you know you're busy and your friend is busy then its totally justified to not talk for a few weeks or even months. If they are a true genuine friendship then its a mutual understanding that y'all still love each other but can't hang at the moment :) Also love this series!

This video just encouraged me to text a friend from university whom I haven‘t heard from in weeks and she responded that she wanted to text me too. I have so much self doubt when it comes to reaching out to friends and I am very proud of myself for just doing it. I need to remind myself that just because I don‘t see certain friends that often or don‘t talk to them for a while doesn‘t mean that they don‘t like me.
