Realistically I’d love to say that I’m living the life I want to live but I’m not, and it’s mainly because of finances. Living with a single mom who isn’t earning that much in a country like Jamaica where the cost of living is so high and many people are so poor has caused me to put some dreams on a back burner. All I can do is hope that one day before my time to leave earth arrives I’ll be able to do all the things that make my heart scream. Until then, I’ll live vicariously through you and these videos 😊

[@Vaivlin]

Same Gul, i can really feel ya. Even I've the exact same situation going on. Hope we'll get through this.

[@nohenohelia]

This comment has so much perspective and brings up privilege to the conversation . Many times we blame ourselves for a slow progress not even recognizing how many difficulties we are facing in the way. Be proud of every step you’ve taken to grow and keep looking forward with hope. Hope is what’s gonna keep you going.

[@jasvir17]

I felt an immediate affinity upon reading your comment. I wish you well and I hope everything works out magically for you. All the best, stranger.

[@sebetch7442]

I constantly live my life asking myself, "could i be doing more" and my answer is always yes. I've had amazing experiences and i've done things ill never forget and im very proud of. But this never ending quest for "doing the most" also brought to me the sensation that im not doing everything i possibly can and this often leads to frustration and sometimes to feel down on myself. Its hard to live your life to the fullest and keep your feet on the ground.

Love your commitment to self growth 💛

I've been going through a rough patch these past few years. My mental health has deteriorated rapidly over the past few months, and it has really impacted my responsibilities and life overall. I've wasted so much time. I've watched a couple of your videos, and you've given me a sense of clarity. You've inspired me. Thank you for making these videos, sharing your experiences, perspective and thoughts. Truly thank you.

[@LucyAlllan]

🥹! I hope it gets better for you

Favourite subscriber xx

[@reisnotebook]

I loveeee the captions on these videos

[@LucyAlllan]

I think captions are super important :)

[@asiasofiae]

Love everything you said, especially the part where you want to look back at your hands and see the physical journey they have been on. I love it!

[@LucyAlllan]

Freaks me out to think about it but it’s also intriguing 😬

[@asiasofiae]

@@LucyAlllan same!!

[@charlotte8659]

I loved that part too! How poetic

[@jyotsna_tiwari]

Came across this video, when I searched for 'happiness'. Loved it ❤️ great content

[@LucyAlllan]

Omg that’s really sweet, thank you algorithm for seeing the positivity ahaha

[@babraconstanzafernandezmun8819]

This helped me, you don't know how much. Thanks. Saludos desde Chile.

[@athenap8828]

thank you so much for always inspiring me lucy, your videos are golden and so are you💛🌞🌻✨

[@LucyAlllan]

This could only be said by another golden gal :)

[@herbiewalkermusic]

Lovely as this sentiment is, it makes me worry about an overly hedonistic attitude to life, where it’s just about doing the things that YOU want to do. I don’t think not wasting your life has to mean solely doing nice things and ticking off your bucket list. You mention ‘Worrying about things you can’t change’ - A lot of people don’t realise how much power they do have to contribute to bigger changes with right intention commitment. As hard as life can be at times I think it’s important that everyone does think carefully about the biggest problems that the world faces and the role you might play in that. For me, you need to balance life with what you can take from it and enjoy, but also what you can give back, and this means taking on a level of responsibility and making sacrifices.

[@Nsnsn38]

I feel like people numb themselves and get busy doing meaningless things not to think about and get in touch with the I AM. It is a strong subconscious wiring as the ego is desperate to survive. As so, you can only get over it subconsciously. Way to go.

[@MiyagiMugen]

Marvellous video again ! We are all grateful :)

[@LucyAlllan]

I am grateful !!

[@TheGENII]

Just discovered your channel and I'm kinda in love w it.. Solo travelling to Europe this October finally, been dreaming of it for years. Your videos have good information and philosophies to get me in the right mindset. Thanks for this. Also, what camera do you have? The quality is amazing.

[@LucyAlllan]

Omg I hope you have the best trip! Is it your first time in Europe?😌 My camera is a Fujifilm XT4 and I can’t remember the specific lens I have but it’s linked in my description I think :)

[@TheGENII]

@@LucyAlllan yess this will be my first time. My whole life I've wanted to go to Italy, so that's going to be the bulk of the trip, but depending on how much I can save over the next few months I'm hoping to start in Barcelona, then Italy, then Germany, explore nearby countries, then UK, then France, then Portugal and fly back home to Canada. Also ty for the info, it's just the quality is very dreamlike, that lense is wild. Thanks for the response :)

[@sofia-jf8xm]

I am mesmerized by your videos

[@bmountainstate]

I'd like to have a video on how you manage to make money / budget to create all these amazing memories !! I would love to travel, but its expensive

[@LucyAlllan]

I actually work all year 30 hours a week whilst being a student (on top of doing these videos) so that when summer/winter break comes I have the time to travel. I’ve also done jobs like Aupair and Summer Camps so I can work and travel at the same time😌 I really recommend Interrail though cause it’s a cheaper way to see more and you can really do it on a budget!

[@gabrielabrxvo]

your content is so pure keep it up🥰🥰

[@LucyAlllan]

Thank you so much🥺🥺

[@annasophieschulte6011]

Hello Lucy :) I just wanted to tell you, that I absolutely love your videos and that your perspective on life is very inspiring :) I hope you are having a nice day :) Greetings from Germany :)

[@katiewilliams7344]

Thank you

[@KHALIL_AMINE]

You're videos are so comforting, I'm looking to make short films/video poems, and I'm wandering where do you find your background music ? I'm struggling with that please ?

[@LucyAlllan]

Hey! I have a link in my description to the music listening I use😌 it’s Epidemic sound

[@KHALIL_AMINE]

@@LucyAlllan thanks, I'll check it out 🥰

[@ninjapirate123]

Everyone reading this, plz remember that your life isn't unlimited, if you wasted most of your time and life on social media then you couldn't get it back and you wouldn't enjoy your remaining years of life

[@emalov98]

June. 17th on my Birthday, nicee :))

[@LucyAlllan]

Happy birthday from then haha!!

[@matty301]

Under rated video.

[@LucyAlllan]

I sometimes forget what I post and I come back to vídeos again to rewatch, this is one of them :)

[@lecryptomanciendu3578]

that was lovely.

[@auntyvic]

Beautiful video! Sometimes I feel like I’m doing too good a job of living in the present and end up feeling left behind…

[@bblmlktea]

do you have pinterest? 🙈

[@azertyssement1]

Ta vidéo m'a fait passé un heureux moment, très paisible ;) Conseil : drink the wine here.

[@euz5504]

I just finished watching your video on deleting social media and I'm truly thinking about doing the same, but I think change also has to come within, I'm struggling to see myself spending the 2 hours it takes to get to my university with nothing to do, I feel like my mindset isn't ready for such a change in a sense that I would probably fall back into old habits, do you have any advice?

[@marbrisaflores7753]

It’s a great time to read :)

[@vicitoriavt]

Lucy, I think you could like walking on the Camino de Santiago :)

[@ec8751]

Hey! Do you have any inspiring books? Or just nice books that inspire you or stayed with you in your daily life ? ☺️📚

[@LucyAlllan]

Omg I have one book in particular! It’s from the video I made a month ago « the book that changed my life » if you want some context on it but it’s called: A million miles in a thousand years- Donald Miller. I cannot recommend enough❤️

[@St-dk7nv]

Hola !!

[@LucyAlllan]

Holaaaa

[@rebeccajhoy]

oh if it were this easy.

[@Sebbir]

What is Lucy saying at 0:20? I’m hearing: “I recently had a conversation with my boyfriend and son” but surely that can’t be right

[@LucyAlllan]

Hey! I actually have subtitles in 5 languages if you ever struggle to understand me as I know my accent is a bit difficult. I think I said "a conversation with my boyfriend and his mum". I can confirm I do not have children haha :)

[@cberk818]

"and his family"

[@Sebbir]

@@LucyAlllan oh wow what a service. That must be so much extra work. But yeah that makes more sense haha. Thanks! I do like you accent though. Scotland has always had a special place in my heart. Such a beautiful country.
