as a viewer who has been here since 2019 and through this difficult housing experience, I AM SO BEYOND PROUD OF YOU for this move!!!

[Cevin.]

When you said “i can see trees” i deadass started crying for you ❤️

[fiebienietveld]

the way i exclaimed “SHE MOVED” when i saw the thumbnail. girl i am beyond ecstatic for you!🩷

[vonhammershark]

“She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze and sunshine.”

I'm so happy you're able to experience the beauty of nature again in your new home 🥲🤍

[rtcrook]

I'm in a "unhappy/never going to get out" phase of life right now, doing my darndest to get myself out of it, and seeing other people make big life changes and thrive from them is helpful to know it can be done!! Wishing you the best in your new home :)

Emma getting bit by a snake: “Yep, this is the one.”😂 From this random stranger online, I am so happy for you! I have been watching you for 3 years now and you have inspired me so much. I hope that you continue to gain everything that you’ve worked hard for and dreamed of❤

[gingervandorsten]

agh! pardon the blatant parasocial excitement but seeing this pop up on my feed made me so happy. Sending lots of warmth to the new place

[elizabethr.]

Emma I am SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU 😭❤️❤️❤️ my heart jumped with joy when I saw the title of this video!!! I'm so happy for you truly, I hope you love your new home 💞💞💞

[nctmilk]

I haven't seen a video of yours for a year now. I used to watch you a lot on my tv with my mom, and after she passed away, I kinda took a break. Even then, i still remember you speaking about your struggles. It makes me very happy that the first video i see of you in a long time is one where you're happy!!! I hope you feel endless joy in your new home <3

I recently moved from Barcelona to an outer smaller town and I too see trees from my new house! I was unhappy, depressed, with a reactive dog on top of things. The quiet, peace and calm changed my life so your tears are very much understood and shared 💚

[tatianasaugar]

Oh Emma, I’m beyond happy for you. I’ve been here for such a looong time, and it’s true that you were never happy in Toronto, we could all tell. But specially after your trip to Italy I could feel you were extremely low… couldn’t wait for you to get out of that apartment. And finally that day has come!! Cannot wait to be present during this new chapter with you ❤

[lasaves]

So happy for you that you have left the city. I'm moving too in a couple of weeks, away from the city and into a quiet neighbourhood, so I completely get you 🥰

[Kylek]

Emma, if you’re not gonna cry, I am. I’m so glad, proud, and relieved for you. I wish we could all give you a big group hug.

[roxannehsk]

even when you say you werent feeling your best or didnt like the content you made, even then you were still the biggest source of comfort and inspiration for me. thank YOU for sticking around. so happy you moved to a place that brings you so much joy❤

[karissaridge]

seeing how miserable and overwhelmed you were living in the city for the 2 years i’ve been subscribed and now seeing you VISIBLY having the weight taken off of your shoulders and now in an environment where you’re going to thrive, i couldn’t be happier for you. thank YOU for taking us on this journey with you and i’m so excited to see how it progresses!! congrats emma!!!!

I grew up in a small town, no public transit, no Mcdonald’s or Tim Hortons 😮 I feel soooo isolated when I go back. I’m currently trying to move from Vancouver to Toronto because Vancouver feels too small 😂 It’s crazy how we all crave different things. Happy for you to be making the moves to be your happiest self ❤

[kristineartfuljourney]

this is the first video I’ve watched of yours and it’s so refreshing to see someone so open and vulnerable for once. Sometimes the daily vlogs, book shopping videos, book hauls, monthly TBRs are a bit repetitive from other YTbers and I’ve been looking for someone more relatable and real. I also love how broad your taste in books, I’ve never heard of so many in these videos. Obviously I’ve been living under a rock.
I’m now gonna spend every waking hours catching up on all your content.


Something about this video was so relatable, I don’t know what’s happened in the past but when you said “I can hear birds” I almost cried I was so happy for you!

Can’t wait to get to know you!

[suraiyyah]

God when she buried her face in her hands, I burst into tears. Emma, wishing you love and happiness for this new start of life. I'm so so happy for you ❤

[subtlefire]

The audible gasp that just escaped me when I saw the title! CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you, Emma. 💚

[emma-qf]
