Maybe it’s just because I’ve been down but I don’t find your content depressing at all. I think it’s actually uplifting to see someone struggling with similar things to me pushing through and challenging themselves. And I can also understand why being that person online could cause you to need breaks and I hope you keep taking them as needed! Thank you for being a friend to so many :)

[@healthycitizen1926]

I agree with everyone else's comments. It's refreshing to see a KZbinr not always happy, but give us the full spectrum of their life not just the highlights so that makes you very unique and we appreciate it

[@leeliberation]

Chelsea, as someone who has recently lost their partner, suddenly and unexpectedly, the realness in your videos is of great comfort. Grief is teaching me a lot of things, but one of those things is how powerful and necessary it is to face and to sit with ourselves -- through all emotions. I appreciate the authenticity and down-to-earth nature of/in your videos and know that it isn't something many can or do provide on any platform. Thank you for being honest about both your lows and your highs and for allowing us to share in them

[@khelvegen]

So sorry for your loss. I wish you the best and send you a lot of love. You are so brave to have this mindset while experiencing something so difficult. I wish you the best and send you a lot of love!

I came to New York as a student last year, it was my first time in the US and also the first time living alone in a studio. It was quite intimidating in the beginning but now I just love this life. This city has something to offer to everyone. I also travelled alone to SF, Vegas, Boston, Pittsburg and Chicago. Looking forward to many solo trips in the coming months!! The KZbin algorithm was pretty smart in recommending your channel, great work!!Always look forward to your videos:) And the Tarka Dal is one of my favorites!!

[@InternationalPH0ENIX]

Don’t feel bad about having more “depressing” videos! ❤ We enjoy seeing a realistic, vulnerable part of your life living in NYC. That’s not to say you should feel like you need to involve your audience in on everything…but don’t feel bad about being depressing/depressed. Life is full of ups and downs, and it helps for people to get to see themselves in the content they watch. Happy go lucky KZbin videos are a dime a dozen, but someone being real, and talking about their feelings (good and bad)…that’s something special!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I find your videos really comforting, they are real and relaxing. The way you communicate is reassuring and your content is genuine, it’s not depressing at all! I don’t feel alone when I watch videos from KZbinrs who have my similar everyday struggles; in fact, I find new ways to face a situation. Keep going on ❤

[@NativeHoney608]

Mental health is so important. I to have recently slowed WAY down on my drinking (like 94%) and it's hard finding wholesome activities to participate in when living in a party, college city. I love watching your videos because it reminds me how important it is to be proactive with our mental health. Living alone and being single can be hard but it does offer such a powerful opportunity to really get to know oneself and grow as a person. May sound weird but I'm down to make a new virtual friend who is going through a similar life stage as me. Here if you ever wish to chat. Keep on being awesome Lady 👍

[@lindyralph8792]

I've really been challenging myself my whole life but the past few years have been intense. My son moved out of home in 2018 and I decided to go to uni and study writing so I could try and become a 'digital nomad'. I also started my own business doing tours and private airport shuttles. Then COVID. Business died, moved from the country to the city, changed universities, had several articles published and lots of full on stuff. I'm 55 and now I have a new career doing comms and events for the philanthropy department of the university I go to. I have two subjects to go next semester and then I will graduate at the end of this year. Oh, and I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020. We survive don't we! Love to you from Australia xx

I swear every time I watch your videos I am reminded of myself. Definitely not depressing although I understand how it feels that way. It seems like a rut but it’s not because you’re living, striving, and trying to make each day something new. And all you do you are doing for yourself. Yeah, there are moments like having that Friday feeling but no where to go and nothing to do, but then fulfill yourself with relaxing in bed and reading. Then times like that are balanced out by the fun and beauty you experienced the next day. Then who what’s what the next day will bring, but it’s for sure you’ll make something positive out of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s inspiring me so much to focus more on my own self care.

[@jonathanwithecombe557]

Biggest challenge my end is giving up alcohol... as we all know, EVERYTHING social is based around it... nearly four months so far, I feel great and I don't miss drinking which is even better. I've been pushing myself on my bike, broke 50 miles a few weeks ago and then 65 last weekend... there's no way I could do that after a night out!!! Really refreshing to see your blog... very down to earth and honest, it makes a change!

[@tossed_about]

First .. I often forget to compliment you on the quality of your filming and editing, always great shots and smooth composition. Rearrangement .. like moving around the sardines in their tin, still love living in small places, so easy to clean. Glad you had a little break and are having fun. So glad you're going to Prague too. Of course you add to our lives .. why would we be here ?

[@ChelseaCallahan]

ahhh thank you! this means a lot.

[@MakingaStink]

Changed careers this year into a much more stressful and difficult career after a cozy 15 year stint. Huge change, it is exhausting and challenging but I am more professionally fulfilled than ever and it is worth the stress and time commitment. Sometimes we need a push and we can surprise ourselves, especially if there’s a payoff in view.

Love that you're channel is growing so much that sponsors want to be on it 😊. You never know this may be your full time job one day. I have read all of Tara's books. Daisy was my favorite.

[@DomoinaYoga1976]

You are such a beautiful soul, and a strong woman - please do not feel bad about not keeping up with your videos - we miss you when you're gone, but we're always so happy when you post a new video😄!! I definitely resonate with you on being a true/deep introvert, having anxiety (fun!), and occasionally pushing myself to experience something new in life. That is sooooo important!! Life is a highway (or a rollercoaster - whatever term you choose), and there will always be ups and downs - and the fact that you are soooo open and vulnerable in your videos...I absolutely admire you for that! I am a very private person, and I even have a difficult time telling my friends/family when I am struggling with my mental health - but that's my problem, hahah! As I write this I am currently experiencing anxiety/depression, and I am fighting my way through it so I don't get too down in the trenches. But like you did, I need to find / do something that will put a pause on this, or maybe even give me a new perspective on life. So, THANK YOU so much for posting about your anxiety, my heart goes out to you - and you're not alone! 💓 Always looking forward to your next video... take as much time as you need between posting videos. Your health comes first.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

thanks so much Domoina! I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time at the moment. You seem like such a lovely person, and so strong 💓 much love

There’s something so exhilarating about a new layout that makes home feel brand spankin’ new. You also cleaned your fridge?????! I need that ambition in my life rn 💀

[@senatorfred]

I really admire your doing these videos. Reminds me of my younger days (which unfortunately were a looong time ago). You're pretty, you're smart, articulate, you have a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. You are above all realistic and accepting that nothing in life is certain. I always say enjoy the little things in life because the big things are too few and far between to make a difference. You show you are enjoying the little things. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing these videos. 😉

Sending you best wishes from the UK and I look forward to catching up again real soon.

[@SimplyHappyMarlo]

Hi. Been really enjoying your videos lately! I found one of them recently and today binge watched a few to catch up. Thank you algorithm for putting you on my main page when I open the app. I don’t find your videos depressing at all, I find them very enjoyable to watch. And someone I can relate to. As far as the question from this video, the biggest challenge I recently had was leaving an extremely toxic company at the end of April. I had been at the job overall for 8 years, but that was with the previous company….til the toxic one completely took over about a year ago. I am very proud of myself for getting up the courage to leave and not continue to be treated so horribly. Now I am in a new job that so far I am liking.

I love everything about your content because your honest about what life is! NYC or wherever! I took a leap and applied for a manager job I’m still not sure I was meant for (5 months later) so I keep telling myself it is all about time. I also just turned 40 (3 days ago) and that is terrifying but I’m trying to embrace it! That said please continue your videos/content because I think it’s so awesome and I just love your authenticity!

[@caarola]

I love your channel, Chelsea, and I adore you for being so real. I also relate so much. I live alone in a big city, graduated from uni last year, got an office job and I'm trying to work life out but that's quite a lonely experience. So here I am, watching your videos and feeling less alone. Btw I went to a concert for my birthday, on my own (ny band fun fact) and it was an amazing experience and really great fun, I still can't get over it 😅 Love to you from Poland ❤

[@taybee4653]

I absolutely love your content! This year I have been challenging myself to get better with networking. The weird thing is I am very outgoing and extroverted in my friend group but I get very shy when I meet new people. I have gone to a couple networking events by myself and I have noticed that I have been opening up a lot more and find it easier to talk to strangers even is it’s just small talk.

Love this video as always!! I made the biggest change of my life, this month. I moved to New York City this last weekend!! Finally. I found a room on Craigslist in Brooklyn with 2 roommates, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been a dream of mine since high school, and after turning 27, having a quarter life crisis, and lots of therapy, I’m here. Excited for this journey and what the pages in this next chapter will hold, and you and your channel have been a big inspiration in that 😌 just want to say thank you for your honest and authentic content, it’s incredibly helpful and inspiring and literally makes me feel more comfortable in my videos to show up as I am.

Hi Chelsea I found your videos a few months ago, and as someone who has dealt with anxiety/ panic attacks since I was in the 5th grade I understand how difficult it is to get yourself going and doing the things that are difficult on a daily basis such as even getting out of bed and going to work. I just went through a huge life change with a big move for my husbands job and have been struggling with an increase in anxiety and wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Why can’t I just do the things I need to do? Ya know what I mean! But thank you for showing the reality of how life is for a 30 something with anxiety, and single life supporting yourself. Remember take each moment one step at a time and some days one minute or hour at a time.

Its real and honest, Im SO jelly of yourbog studio! I know youre moving soon. But that looked like a great place And I hope your Marathon training is going well. I had to defer bc of an injury. Im gonna go in and support my friend who ks doing his first NYC Marathon. On Friday nites when I was single in NYC Id usually go to the gym for a Long Swim. It was so great bc the pool was empty bc ppl go out instead. I liked my Nerdy Weekend nights. Plus I was always marathon and triathlon training… so I usually had a 9+1 race or a Long Run or ride or a triathlon on weekends. Id do it all again.🗽🥰

I feel like I am challenging myself this year. Starting a new job, working 4 days with a toddler. I know it’ll pay off, it’s important to me but damn it’s been a toughie. Last year was a year of physical health challenges, I had two major dental surgeries, covid - all within 6 weeks. But now, I am reaping the rewards not having the surgeries looming. So that’s a bonus and I’m glad all the hard stuff is behind me. Take each day, just keep pushing and all of a sudden you’re doing it and it’s your new normal. Love your videos .

I'm also a 30 something year old office worker living alone in a major European city and it's comforting to know that there are others who live almost the same lifestyle so far away. The comment section here is also very nice, it's a lovely community. Glad that you are feeling better!

[@adoptednuyorka]

Very cool you have a sponsor now, love ya vlogs ❤

[@raimibuki4234]

Love watching your videos. I have no plans to move to New York City (I'm actually all the way in the Netherlands haha) but you give me so much comfort!

The chaotic Trader Joe’s haul was great! This year is my struggle year, so insanely out of my element but so excited.

[@562krystle]

Last time I challenged myself? A long time ago. Have been in a serious funk. As I’m sitting here eating a bowl of pasta watching you, made me remember to be grateful for having a space of my own. Can’t waste away depressed when so much beauty around us. As always, thank you for the true realness of a single gal. And thanks to you, you turned me into Trader Joe’s cherry juice. I mix it with sparkling water and tastes like a healthy soda. Love the new space.. but probably like me, it will go back eventually 😂. So good to see you back🎉. BTW, where is your comforter from?

[@michaelscottcutler3627]

Jeez! You actually move all that junk around and vacuum in back of your furniture?! I can't even determine where my vacuum cleaner is buried! Guess I'll find it someday. Good for you, Chelsea!

[@katana2k]

man i let my canister vacuum fossilize in my closet until i replaced it with a cordless dyson. now its on a wall-mounted charger in the kitchen and im hella vacuuming because its so convenient

[@michaelscottcutler3627]

@@katana2k Cool, Kat. I've got a very small portable thing I pulled outta the trash several years ago. It works (sucks?) Got new filters, too. Now, I've just gotta get up the ambition to vacuum this dump.

The new apartment looks nice! I love that good post-rearrange feeling:)

[@ChelseaCallahan]

it's the best :)

Wish I had discovered these videos last summer when I moved to a new city alone. Your channel’s a breath of fresh air! All the best from a fellow studio apt-living thirty-something (also in renewable energy)

[@allyjoy5943]

Happy to see you getting sponsorships! Go you.

As a 40+ something year old man from England I find your “clogs” very uplifting and love your energy and what your doing..”New York New York” is on my bucket list..been down lately and worked in corporate for 15 years until recently made redundant..I don’t know why I’ve commented I don’t normally but just really find you inspirational so...keep it up been thinking of starting KZbin channel but wouldn’t know where too start. Anyway love ya channel

[@Sherry1962]

I love the sofa under the window. I would do a gallery wall of pictures on your bed wall. Thanks and have a great week, Chelsea.

[@rowank3116]

Chelsea, you've recently become my favorite/one of the only KZbin channels I've been watching recently. I just moved to NYC and your videos have been such a great comfort and have made me feel less alone :)

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Ahhh I’m so glad 🥹 thanks for watching and congrats on your move :)

[@almVancouver]

I've watched quite a few of your vids now so thanks for creating them. Outside Neistat and the guy who previews apartments, it's the first NY city vids I've really seen. I'll say your "average 30 something" is perfectly named for what these are. Incredibly interesting, where it's really not my typical type of vid to watch, so again, thanks. It's easy to see you have a knack for editing and taking what otherwise might seem mundane and turning it into something watchable. I have one worry now that I've spent some time here. I really hope you meet a nice guy, and soon. It'll be so sad if you go into your 40's still not finding a guy to build a life with. Not sure how you'll do it.I'd say quitting drinking and putting your money and energy elsewhere is a great start. My very likely unwanted advice is to start volunteering and meet someone of similar mind through gratitude and helping. Okay, thanks again. You gained a subscriber :)

I love your videos Chelsea, they’re so comforting

[@oliviaboyer6494]

I’m currently challenging myself daily. I had my daughter two years ago and have had to face multiple major health issues since. Im currently awaiting another surgery but on the good mind set days, I realize that this isn’t my forever life. This is just a really tough phase and then one day my life will be a bit easier. It’s tough though to get through those rough days/months but you just gotta respect it and keep going ❤

[@ChelseaCallahan]

oh my god, that must be so difficult. you are so incredibly strong! thank you for sharing your story

[@2009lafs]

I was having a shit day but when you said “about as energetic as a stick of butter” that had my actually laughing out loud. 😂😂

[@amandamiller7926]

I ALWAYS rearrange also and it helps A LOT! You caddy corner the bed.

[@vvn8066]

I‘m going through it right now, but girl you made my day🖤 Just found your channel a few weeks ago, and when you mentioned loving to make your bed I started to smile,same here, people don’t get it most of the time…and then (I’m not in to star sign stuff at all☝️), but I usually check the time at 21:09, too. It’s also my birthday 🎉 So if anyone has to hear it today: even at the lowest points we are able to smile for a second. We are more complex and multifaceted as humans. I’m not a native speaker, but I hope, I get my point across 🙃 Thanks for taking us with you🖤

even when we’re depressed, we still do little dances when we get home

For the record, you are so funny😂😂😂 I’ve been wheezing at almost every part of this Vlog. ESPECIALLY the cat on the moped 😂😂
