Just because other people “have it worse” doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to have your feelings 💕

[@half-eatensandwich1691]

YES! Feelings are valid, and you can’t compare your experiences to those of others.

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

I was going to write exactly this. It's not the pain Olympics. Your feelings are valid and you shouldn't feel bad for having them. 💗

[@jupiter2598]

This is one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn. I'm always so quick to beat myself down.

[@balletchic35]

yes! it's so important to realize this!!!

[@keymiahogan1144]

Exactly! Pain is pain, and all pain is valid! It doesn’t matter how your pain measures on an arbitrary global scale which exists for the sole purpose of invalidating your feelings! Your pain is valid!! You are valid!!! Love yourself 💕

[@knz2007]

Girl. Please do not feel guilty that you feel sad about the people you’re missing. You’ve gone through so much this year and to not have your family be able to be as involved as they normally would be is a sad thing. Your emotions are valid! Yes, people may have it worse than you, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have emotions about your situation!!

Stephen's commentary doing skincare is the highlight of my day!

[@jaimekaminsky5747]

Me too!!! Actually laughed out loud.

[@jacquelinekenknight9280]

I laughed too. It felt like how it would go if my boyfriend tried my skincare routine (he calls it my 50 useless things before bed).

[@elizabethkuhn9788]

You’re out here crying about legitimate concerns in life and when I was pregnant I cried because I didn’t have any milk to go with my cookies.

[@kimberlypettit2038]

I would cry everytime the tones and I song "johnny run away" would play on the radio 😂😂

[@meganwedge8131]

When pregnant I once cried because I found out the closest Taco Bell closed at 10.

[@juggalette702]

I once cried because I wanted a smoothie and didn't have any strawberries once I had already started making it lol

[@starrfish-pg3wx]

I cried because our real Christmas tree left pine needles on the floor, and because my husband ate the last of the cereal, and because sappy commercials. (After that year we do only fake Christmas trees lol)

[@originalsaplings]

I cried at a restaurant when a couple left a barely touched hot chocolate. Why didn't they drink it? They're so delicious. 🥺😭 Lol. My husband and I will never forget that one.

[@EvieeA]

Saying you shouldn’t be sad because other people have it worse is like saying you can’t be happy because other people have it better . These are your feelings and they are completely valid . ♥️

[@samwinn04]

Stephen : “I too like to plop in the morning” HAHAHAHA I don’t know why that made me laugh so hard 😂

Loving vlogmas!! You should recreate pictures of your mom when she was pregnant with you and have her react to them! I loved your video recreating her college pictures

[@beckysmith7187]

I’ve rewatched the robe part so many times 😂😂

[@Sarah-bm3xd]

Sierra I cried watching this. You are not alone!! This holiday season is so challenging for many people. Some of us miss our families, our friends, some of us, like me, are stuck at home and while I’m grateful to be with part of my family there’s some really challenging dynamics too that I’m not used to having to deal with 24/7. You and Stephen and your videos are honestly such a light in my life and I’m so grateful to you! All my love!

[@hannahgrossetete9421]

don't feel guilty about what you're feeling. Everyone's feelings are valid and important!

[@irishbutterfly369]

I am not pregnant but I am a super emotional person. I am so thankful that my husband can deal with me. We haven't seen my husband's dad since Christmas 2019 & we haven't seen his mom & step dad since March 2020 (but they have been seeing people unmasked & going out to eat & acting like everything is normal). We have seen my parents a few times in 2020 but not enough. I have cried so much because even though we like not having plans, I still miss seeing my family so much!!!

[@destinystaples9016]

The “tired of this fatigue” comes and goes. Staying busy and making sure I have time to do fun things (mom of two) just for me has been really helping my mental health immensely. So many virtual hugs! I want to remind you, it’s totally okay to cry because of missing your family! Your feelings are VALID! Someone having a different difficult time doesn’t mean your difficult time isn’t valid. 💜💜💜

Thank you so much for being vulnerable and modeling healthy ways to cope and practice self-care when you're not doing the best, and for showing it's okay to have days where you struggle. Thank you Stephen for showing ways to care for and support people you love when they are having a hard time.

I hope their baby gets an S name. And maybe the channel can be called "Sierra, Stephen & S_____ IRL"

Please cry all you need ❤️ This year has been so tough for so many people. I can’t find work, I miss my mom, and I’ve just been crying basically all year. It’s hard, but we and everyone struggling right now can make it through this ❤️ Thank you for everything you’ve done and shared and made this year ❤️

[@MariaMarsbar]

Seeing you and Stephen together in these vlogs really brings me so much joy! I could watch his commentary on skincare and other activities for hours! I've also been feeling that pandemic fatigue (and general burnout/bout of depression), so you're not alone! I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and I'm so excited for the rest of your videos this month! 💛

[@Lovethatlook22]

I’m in a long distance relationship and I haven’t really seen my boyfriends since we graduated in May. He is my rock and always makes me happy and today I sat in bed crying wishing I could see him (considering driving the 12 hours to see him cause can’t really fly rn). Anyways I totally understand the Covid fatigue of missing your favorite people.

[@carrierose4289]

Stevens commentary during skin care is literally my ten year old son with his teenage sisters “that’s repulsive....” 😂

[@MLEbug]

I have been disabled for 17yrs and what you're experiencing, that fatigue of "how long can this go on?" is absolutely real and valid! Some days you just have to cry. Yes, there are people who have it worse but that doesn't diminish your experiences. Get as many cuddles as you can and let yourself cry when you need to, and remember not to feel guilty or beat yourself up about it. Emotions aren't moral or immoral. ❤️❤️❤️

[@uniquemekylieb]

I'm definitely feeling the same way! I have a pretty small family, so I'm not really missing them in particular, but my career is in musical theatre, and not doing what I love and not performing since March has been so disheartening and soul-crushing for me. It's also 100% okay to be feeling the way you are about all of this.

[@marianadasilvacenteno5]

Sierraaa give strephen a gel moisturizer that it’s a moisturizer that soaks into your skin right away

[@jack.e_bee]

My favorite "can't be bothered" moisturizing tip is to pop some in my hands, rub my hands together, then press them against my face. You won't get as much on your face, but it sinks in fast, and your hands benefit too

Except no hyaluronic acid as it can cause metastasis in people with cancer or who have had cancer or those with cancer in the family.

[@amberyoung-ripplinger9712]

I totally feel those feels! Overwhelmed by the unknown and feeling guilty about complaining when I don’t have anyone really close to me who has died or been really sick from COVID. Not pregnant but pms definitely makes this all 100X worse! Be a friend to yourself and know your feelings are important and valid!❤️

[@e.fleming3580]

Sierra crying at every little thing while pregnant is me normally 😭 I’ll be screwed when pregnant. We love you, Sierra!! Don’t feel guilty about anything. You’re taking precautions and taking things seriously and that’s already more thoughtful and caring than others!

[@shoopdogg424]

I'm feeling the sadness too. The holidays make it extra difficult during the covid fatigue. For the first time in 31 years spending Thanksgiving with just my husband and knowing we will be doing Christmas the same.

“Well your getting a robe 😝😎” 🤣🤣🤣

[@gretabonnaud7778]

Hot head by thermal hair care is a good brand for a heated hair cap (I think you can find them on Etsy). They are also good because they are filled with flaxseeds so they are more natural than other caps which are usually filled with some sort of gel. ✨💛

[@hannahrule4665]

I love your dynamic with Stephen! I’m also doing the curly girl method, and my husband also has no idea what any of it is, but he loves that I love my hair. I’ve also been having a hard time lately (started a new job after not having one for like 6 months and I’ve been super overwhelmed). And my husband has been so supportive even when he doesn’t understand why I’m crying. I just really enjoy the realness of you and Stephen!

[@frisbree]

Hahaha the “I don’t want a robe” well you’re getting a robe made me laugh so hard! 😂 that is my boyfriend, he does that same kind of stuff all the time and I’m like oooo perfect gift idea then later, “I never said I wanted that” 😂😂😂💛

[@janedonovan9815]

You should never have to apologize for your feelings. Yes others can be going through worse but that doesn't make what you feel invalid. This isolation is getting to all of us in different ways. You also show a lot of gratitude for all you have so you shouldn't get down on yourself for feeling sad and honestly I used to cry at commercials when I was pregnant. You are doing great.

anybody else just become numb to the pandemic? Like I remember The first day we had like 20 new cases in my city (I live in a small city so that's quite a bit.) I got so overwhelmed and anxious and cried myself to sleep. Now with the second wave, We get at least like 60-70 a day, and it's just like "welp it is what it is" It's like the numbers have stopped registering in my head.

I really have been feeling this with school. we were online until october, and then we got to go to a hybrid schedule and do some theatre and choir after school, but we had to go back to all virtual a month after we had started in person. we had started a play, but i have no clue when we will be able to finish it. i was looking forward this spring to show choir, a musical, and doing performing arts with my sister her last year in high school - and it feels like as we get closer to the dates we'd normally do the musical, show choir, etc. everything keeps falling apart. i feel like im living for what i might not be able to do for another 6 months instead of what im doing now.

[@Ergmermerg]

It's been hitting me hard lately too. Both of my grandparents have health problems and live out of state. Now that I'm finally a consistently stable person I could be visiting them. But thanks to this pandemic I'm missing out on the precious time left.

One thing that's really helped me, is to remember that two things can be true. I'm have a lot to be grateful for (job, home, health etc.) and this year has been really draining and difficult emotionally. Not seeing my family at all this year has been really tough amongst other things. One doesn't have to take away from the other. Both can be true, gratitude and sadness. Hope you feel better soon

You should get the what to expect when expecting pregnancy journal and organizer. Its amazing and keeps track of everything that you can share with your baby when they are older.

[@alexapatricia]

Sierra, thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I'm away at university right now and I feel the exact same way, I miss my family so much and I'm sad I won't be able to see everyone at Christmas. These last couple of months have been really hard on me but I know I'll get through it and I know you will too.

[@carissagoldberg4752]

I’m 100% feeling that pandemic fatigue. I have definitely gotten so overwhelmed and frustrated that I cry, but I think that a lot of people are feeling the same. Also please don’t feel guilty for struggling! Just because other people have it worse, your struggles are still 100% valid. Everyone’s life is different but we all just have to do the best we can to boost our own well being (in a way that doesn’t hurt others of course) because sadly we just can’t help everyone that needs it, but we can work to make ourselves happier and in turn make others in our life happier.

I completely feel you. The pandemic started in my freshman year of college and I wasn't super adapted yet and I only had the chance to make a couple of friends while my high school friends just completely moved on and we don't talk anymore so I feel like I'm missing out on my youth and I am super lonely but at the same time I'm grateful for being with my family, and for growing up during these time thanks to therapy and so many more blessings... It just feels like I'm stuck...

[@OriginalLaotianGirl]

Aw Sierra! I totally am feeling the pandemic fatigue and yes people do have it worse, but that doesn’t make what you’re feeling and what you’re going through any less valid!

I’m always an emotional wreck in general, but the pandemic has definitely exhausted me. We’ll all get through this!!

[@graceworsham360]

I definitely am feeling the same way about the pandemic and missing my family. I’m a teen, but I lost my job which was my only escape out of life. On top of that, trying to do school from home is extremely hard and stressful. It’s kind of felt like life is just the same day everyday and it’s definitely taken a toll on me as well, and there’s been lots of tears as well lol. Praying everyday for things to go back to normal and to see my family and for life to resume. Praying for you as well💕

I even called my husband at work crying hysterically. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@marijnpeeters97]

I have that too. I can still go to my internship right now but when im done there i'll only have online classes. I live alone. I'll just won't see anyone anymore. I'm really scared about that plus the fear of failing school cause i just am not great at staying motivated when eveything will be online. Also whenever people say things like I think this will be over at "...". I cannot deal with that anymore. Whenever i think about these things i'll start crying.

I cry all the time about missing my family (they don’t live near me, at least 4 hours away and across the country), especially while I actually had Covid and couldn’t go anywhere or see anyone. It’s 100% okay to feel the way you do, especially given what’s going on in the world. Even though other people’s situations are different, it doesn’t negate your own feelings or situation. You got this. You’re loved and missed just as much as love and miss others 💕

Yup! I’m mentally exhausted. I’m an essential worker. I work full time and I’m just done. I did a staycation back in October and it was great. Went up the the mountains then came back and it’s sucks even more. I have no motivation to work out either. I have a mini gym in my garage and I haven’t worked out since the beginning of October ugh. All I want to do is sleep. I miss my family too. I see my mom and brothers cause they are in my bubble but I miss the rest of my family. I’m so done with covid
