share your experience with falling out of love, with whatever it was. :)

[@tofferarvid6589]

There is no such thing as falling out of love... Because real love never dies what you fell out of was the idea of love or you fell out of lust and lust is not always a sexual thing money lust or object lust is the same thing

[@flamingaish]

@@tofferarvid6589 what you're saying seems too abstract, you basically gaslighted the entire video 💀

[@tofferarvid6589]

@@flamingaish it was a quote I wrote in my book so what are you saying.... Nice skull you reap what you sow and you just made a big mistake by touching an anointed one with your words of hate and your skull of death 🤯 God will be pruning you now for your trespassing on Gods chosen... I say back Satan you have no hold on me and your days of hate and hurting ppl is over you can turn back now or you will be thrown into the furnace.... It's not what I want but it's what you deserve for your disobedience and negativity... Suffer well 👍🗝️

[@stuntslikeeveryday]

Formula 1, since I was a little child till now age 27. I think I watched 98% of the races, the 2% I didn't was some sort of nightmare missing out. Last couple of months I watched other motorsports I enjoyed more, but now I somehow even get angry when I watch something that made my life meaningfull to then really get bored.

I thought my ex was objectively beautiful; his skin was soft, his hair was fluffy, his eyes sparkled when he looked at me. I look back at the photos and his skin is sickly pale, his hair is messy and greasy and dandruffy, his eyes are either sleepy or he has eyebags. He never treated me like he loved me even if he did, he didn’t care for himself and he relied on me to do it whilst doing nothing for me, calling me needy when i asked for the things he promised (it was less than the bare minimum). He was partaking in drugs and had bad friends and i just wanted to share my happiness with him… he’s not a great guy but i wish him the best. I hope he finds someone he can treat right and that he’s happy with :)

[@aakashailajan]

It happens quite often. You get obsessed with something and try your best to have that in your life. But no matter how much you try, things just don’t work out, and eventually you grow out of that obsession. I believe there’s always a very important lesson you need to learn when the things you liked or loved don’t work out.

[@GermanGameAdviser]

...the lesson of *"nothing really matters"* :'DDDD (sry had to)

[@AboutTheAirplane]

What’s the lesson?

[@cry2love]

The saddest part of human psychology (or more like just the reality of it) is that we fall in love in our fantasy of something or someone, we think it should be the way we fantisise about it and dream about how it should feel. I think you fell out of love not from London, but from your own feeling of what should it be, how magical it should've been, by reading book, hearing stories, looking at photos and watching movies that MADE THE CITY look great, was just a dream, I mean, it does not mean the place is bad, it is what you think it is, not the other way around. It is same about movies about relationships, it overexxagerrates the way good they should be, but they almost never show the bad parts. Art is about showing the best parts about something, not the reality, so if you see the reality and it is not always great, it does not mean that it is bad. London is still the same, the facede of art feeling of greatness about it, that's what people are drawn to, they fall for a dream like city, but it's just the representation of it in art, architecture, poems and movies. London is great, any city is great, just let yourself enjoy your life in any place you live in. Feel about YOUR OWN city the same as magical feeling about London is.

[@TaylorBell]

This goes to show how much you notice and appreciate the small things. It's a beautiful way to live

[@NatureDaydream]

Your channel is a home. It is a sanctuary of good and uplifting vibes making people lives better. 1 million subscribers well deserved.

[@JamieAsareZiegler]

I've always figured home would be a someone rather than a somewhere-a refuge from the tumult of daily life, a familiar wavelength that puts you at ease, an elevated conversation...or comforting silence, the reassurance of being valued and understood. I think that's what I've been waiting for. And then I can be anywhere.

[@aneesa4252]

[@zombie-jg4dd]

This is so beautiful. Hope you find you person. ♥️

Home has no smell! Honestly I really think you captured the essence of what home truly is perfectly. Home to me shows the true power of vulnerability, at the end of the day we all deserve a space where we can just feel free to be our truest selves without fear of judgement💗

[@istari1392]

I feel like home is where you notice those small details about it, which give you a sense of familiarity and love for that place.

[@Akta]

I'm from London, but moved 3 years ago. Whenever I visit, it no longer feels like it used to - this video captured those feelings perfectly. Congratulations on 1 million ❤

[@ericeichstaedt2357]

Aaawwwe, that was very sweet, I almost shed a tear. I totally get it, a sense of home is so vital, like an oasis for ourself and our loved ones. Obviously you don't take it for granted and have illuminated it for all your subscribers so eloquently

Art was my safe place when I was younger but when I started high-school I fell out of love with it and focused all my attention on academics and now that I'm in university I try to go back to painting and sculpting but it just doesn't feel the same anymore.

[@khalilahd.]

Loved this video Lana. I related on so many levels ❤ it’s a hard realization to come to especially when you truly thought you found the one

[@kasiowelove1]

I can’t express how perfect in time this video appeared. After a very hard day, during which my mother kept on threatening me that my divorce will ruin the family, her, my grandmum and my husband, and that promising in front of God is more valuable than my deeply rooted feeling of loneliness and my gut telling me continuously how wrong the relationship feels. I’m sitting in the park right now, sipping some tea and thinking what makes my „home”. Thank you

"Home is where the water taste good." This is so true. Every time I go on holiday I hate the taste of the water there, even bottled water for some reason.

[@con_doorman]

Don't ever move in with someone with whom you cannot be yourself, for any reason. It will no longer feel like home.

[@wood1793]

It’s been a while since I felt any “Ro” in my life. I really miss the fact that I can sleep without the eviscerating feeling of not knowing where I am going. Your videos really help with this. Watching them makes me forget about this feeling for as long as they last and I notice and appreciate these brief moments of peace while I can. Thank you Lana and congrats on the 10 mil. You deserve it❤

I don't speak English and I watch your videos to learn the language, even if I can't understand most of what you say, but I perceive the essence behind your words, and little by little I'm learning.

[@kaspz_676]

I am going through something very similar at the moment - and it actually really opened my eyes to realise this. I loved the city of Cardiff - I studied here, made great friends, had the best of times, seen the good parts of it, the bad, met love, lost it, had fun. Everything. And then I moved back, after spending a few years back home, and it's just ... nothing. It's just a place, another of many, and I was waiting to feel that tinge inside of me again, but it never came, and I don't think it ever will. And I'm starting to realise that that's okay. It's a strange feeling, but I am so glad you made this video!

[@knightsatin]

I can relate to so much of this. Home is where I feel safe, a shelter from the world where hopefully I am in control. It doesn't always feel exactly like that but it's a good feeling. By the way I lived in London for just over a year and it was good - now if I go back I think ''how did I ever like living here ?' Our preceptions are always changing. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers 😃

[@poovanna4284]

Everytime i watch you're video i feel sense calmness in my mind the way you explain it on a very different level i feel very different watching you're videos keep up the good work

[@Manjunn]

Home is where I feel like me - this is a new realisation for me over the last few days. For years I've been figuring out what it was that I wanted to do with my life, and that meant putting my career and my finances on hold, it also meant moving back home to my family, from a life that I had built up abroad for 6 years. For a while it felt nice to be back in a familiar space, but when that familiarity and comfort became an illusion, home no longer felt like home for me. I didn't feel the love of those who love me. I was conflicted with my identity and what I sought out initially became a curse that I couldn't undo. I fell out of love with myself, with my parents, and I fell out of love, with love. Home felt like a prison, especially during the COVID years and lockdown. I went through a breakup that was long distance, I wasn't able to get closure for a long time, it was an unconventional way to end a relationship that I held dearly. I became insane. I lost touch with who I was and my identity couldn't be any blurrier. I buried myself under copious amounts of distractions, losing the real me to cope with what life had thrown at me. I became someone unrecognisable. Fast forward (almost) 4 years, I'm finally back into a space where I'm only beginning to feel like me again, this is after a few years of depression and a complete lack of self love. I'm still coming out of my rut, but with one step at a time I'm slowly becoming comfortable with myself again, and home is starting to feel like home again. For many, home is a safe haven, a place where they can rest and rejuvenate, to reset and restart. For me, it was also that, but only surface level - deep down, I had buried a lot of trauma and negative experiences during the period of my life where I had last lived in this house I call home. A message for those who have also experienced a rocky childhood: when "Home is where the heart is" doesn't resonate with you, try "Home is where I feel like me". Too many of us have had to hide our true selves to survive childhood, this results in us living a role self, to appease those around us, for validation, for companionship, to feel "loved", to feel "approved". When you start to recognise this and begin living your true self, that's when home can be anywhere and not be limited to a physical space or a feeling with something. You'll always be at home when you are fully comfortable with yourself. Stay strong my beautiful and wonderful people :)

I LOVED this video. Both the London part and the home part. I fell in love with London slowly but steadily and in 2019 we saw each other 6 times so I decided to move in. Then the pandemic came and I decided to go back to a distance relationship. But I still feel like home whenever I return. But as for the feeling of home I think it more and more comes from inside. I have two flats where I live, but I feel just as home in my friends place when travelling or in a hotel room as long as I feel at home in my body and mind :)

[@thabolubinda1302]

I’ve been living in a suitcase for three months now. I’ve wanted nothing more than the feeling of being home. I fell in love with seeing new places and meeting people, but non of that gave me the feeling of safety. I found that home was not the place, or the people, but the feeling. I figured out just like one has to love to feel loved, I have to be a home to feel the sense of being home. If that makes sense. And I’m glad that in the process of looking to find a home, I found myself 🥰
