the art of being alone (in college)

hi friends!

let's talk about the art of being alone !! college has allowed me to grow so much as a person, especially in the aspect of feeling okay with not always being surrounded by people. i would say im more of an independent woman now, and i hope this video gives some insight on what i enjoy doing on my own 🤍 alone but not lonely!

count your blessings!

Hi friend!
I’m actually crying right now watching this.
For so many reasons. Firstly I’m so happy you are living life so good right now I’m so proud of you. You’ve gained so much confidence in yourself it’s beautiful to see.
Secondly, I long for this. I did not appreciate this era of my life as you are! And my advice to those watching this, please do live and love your life and yourself the most! Right after I graduated college I found out I was going to be a mom and while I love my baby I wish I had taken the time to love myself as everyone should. ❤

I don’t get the alone time you have. Im with someone all day. And this video showed the freedom I realized I had and didn’t embrace at the time.
This video was amazing, sorry for my rant. I know college is hard and like I said I’m so proud of you because you really are doing amazing Fiona!
*ps I’m not completely pitying myself I am doing the most and best I can but as a first time mom I cannot help but miss the solitude I once had* ❤

I am so proud of you that not only you are a smart and pretty woman but you also so independent in doing about everything and now even your brother is following your step to be as an independent person..Wishing you the best of luck in your school, interviews...I support you all the way and love you both and our family to the moon and back!!!

What a beautiful video. This message is one I feel doesn't get touched on enough, and you presented it in such a caring, open way. I'm glad you could share your experiences with us, and help make each of us a bit happier spending time with ourselves. You ARE a powerful woman for that

Lovely video thats so positive and reflective 😄. Also doing good things alone or just for yourself is so good to recharge and enjoy life.

A masterpiece! Thank you for being so vulnerable and authentic ❤

I've only truly embraced doing things myself without others (with no "lmao what a sadboi" self-talk) within the last year or so doing my masters, which kind of sucks because I could have been so much happier in my last years at Tech instead of living in the "why doesn't anyone wanna do things with me" bubble. But oh well, better late than never.

Great video as always, and I swear this dropped in my recommended videos just as I was feeling particularly lonely, and you actually made me feel a bit better so thank you also for that :)

That's so brave to do stuff by yourself, loved it
