Isabel is a fake. She’s filthy rich and lives in a house built by her dad and that’s her parents property.

[@danm2173]

@@abdullahal-shimri3091 I'm well aware of all that & have watched literally every one of her video's. And your point? How ever she lives her life doesn't make her a bad person. So you hate all rich people or is it all young people that still live around their parents? or is it both? Maybe if you looked for the good in people you'd see things different.

Rain and a lot of little hail... so nice to have a van to be in in that! I've been caught in it in tents and more than once up on a mountain while hiking... much prefer snow to rain and hail! But as may be - what a lovely spot to spend some time connecting more deeply with yourself in a time of peace and happiness. That's the magic.

Oh Maddie, “A magical fairy come to life in the forest”. Anna nailed it! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your date. It was lovely! And the perfect cup for your date, “You are my favorite”! Your wisdom about being alone vs loneliness really resonated with me. Thank you for the clarity that I needed to hear! You are a beautiful soul!

Hello Maddie. I just today came across your channel and I must say I'm glad I did. Your van is quite beautiful and well done. I agree with Dan below, that you have a certain charming wit, and your outlook on life. is very refreshing. The segment about the rain and hail was perhaps my favorite as I love the sound of rain on a metal roof. I find it soothing, and under the right circumstances a bit romantic. Thanks for your videos and I look forward to viewing more of them. Southern Oregon is a great place to visit so if you're ever this way I'd be open to buying you a coffee and having a chat.

[@davidsqvbcn]

[@Maddie.taylor]

Hi Manali, thank you for sharing your personal reflection on your experience and how these videos have affected you. I know first hand how heartbreaking and impossibly difficult losing a friend unexpectedly can be, especially your age, and seeking solace in KZbin videos was a really important comfort to me when I lost my friend, too. I’m humbled that you’re finding a degree of solace here and I’m so happy that you find support in Anna and Mariah’s videos. My heart goes out to you and I hope that with time your community and happiness only grow. ❤️

[@hannaharmer9606]

Maddie! I'm so happy that Phil is resprouting! You, Phil, and the fairy princess- oh I miss Eliza. She is such a precious baby. Have we talked about our mutual love for Emma Watson?? I love that perspective on being a self-partner. And your explanation of aloneness vs loneliness is beautiful- I utterly agree. When we have the support and community, it aids in lifting us in our independence. Yay to the table mount! What a relief! I miss and love you. Watching these videos puts the biggest smile on my face. I'm so proud of you, always. ps, I love the background music of your cozy day in the van.

[@linshannon4480]

Nice job on the table mount, and I thoroughly enjoyed the quick, bird's-eye view of your monthly journal page. I was writing in my own while I watched and enjoyed your music choice. Enjoy your solitude, the ebb and flow of nature's waxing and waning summer days.

[@Maddie.taylor]

[@jfjkdkjfj]

I've felt alone and lonely many times in my life, and it took a long time to learn to live with it. It didn't have to take this long but the times didn't make it easy. I finally learned that it was better to have no one around than to have the wrong person around. If somebody says why do you talk to yourself? I say its usually the best conversation I have all day. I also learned that I'm just the kind of person who would probably rather be by myself than try to get along with somebody who isn't who I think is the best match. Now I think it would be better to have the right person around, but that is a hard thing to find.

Ok so you parted ways with the other girls but you can always know that you can get back together with them and they'll always welcome you back. I have to say there's something very aesthetically pleasing about your van not just because of the x patterned wood panels and Phil but also because your use of space is efficient and sensible. In terms of design I prefer your van over Mariah's but Mariah would be the first to admit she didn't totally design her van. Of course you being a tall girl have to be much more judicious than she when it comes to space. Her talents lie in many other things such as amazing drone footage. I actually feel relief at how you improved your table. Beautiful as it was I actually cringed at how it sat before.

Then heading to San Diego, because....BEACH! Rain. I love rain on the roof, but hail is another thing altogether. Grace (Chevy Tahoe) has a little damage from a couple of years ago. Do you meditate, Maddie? Well, everyone does in some way or another, but do you make time? Typically, my practice consists of simple mindfulness, gratitude and imaging. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Watch for mine soon.

Good LUCK! and enjoy SD, one of my favorite places ☺️ I was DEFINITELY a little worried about the hail... looks like no lasting damage this time around 🤞 I’ve tried still meditations here or there, but my preferred methods are moving meditations through yoga and climbing.

Women have the power to seek what is desired. Travel, enjoy, build, and be happy !!! You all do not have to compare, prove, or compete between each other. Share memories, laughter, and conversations. Isabel Paige, Hannah Lee Dugan, Nikki Deventhal, and Dr. Hannah Straight are women who inspire others like you do. You and your new friends are now a band of handy tool mongers, builders, and thinkers that are awesome !!! Be strong and always stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy nature and the travels, many are too old to do what they worked hard for and saved. Inspire them or share you travels to all thru video. People need love, trust, and a smile from someone nowadays. You are awesome as all individuals your age and kindred hearts. Its like living in a city or country?

Being alone, yet, not feeling lonely. Choosing Solitude can be a subliminal quest, escape, refuge, sanctuary, exploration, time out, avoidance or the product of a traumatic event. Thats where Maddie Tylor got me worried. I have no right to judge her, but i cant help wonder. There is something much deeper, beyond her cheerful nature loving contentment. I am an observer. Often, people exhibit behaviours which are in stark contrast to their inner state of self.
