Hi .Im learning English with your video. Thanks alot dear ❤❤😊
Yes!! Just in time for my morning coffee:)
Elena thank you so so much for always brighten up my day special with your New Vlogs May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love 🩷🩷
In the last couple of years, I have practiced being alone and ACTUALLY listening to myself and being with myself. It's been the greatest thing that's ever happened. I still struggle (more specifically the people pleasing aspect) but overall I feel good with my progress.
Congrats and thank you for always sharing!!
قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الكَرْمَةُ الحَقِيقِيَّةُ وأَبِي الكَرَّام.كُلُّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لا يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا يَقْطَعُهُ، وكُلُّ غُصْنٍ يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا يُنَقِّيهِ لِيَحْمِلَ ثَمَرًا أَكْثَر.أَنْتُمُ الآنَ أَنْقِيَاءُ بِفَضْلِ الكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي كَلَّمْتُكُم بِهَا.أُثْبُتُوا فِيَّ، وأَنَا فِيكُم. كَمَا أَنَّ الغُصْنَ لا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ ثَمَرًا مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِهِ، إِنْ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ في الكَرْمَة، كَذلِكَ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا إِنْ لَمْ تَثْبُتُوا فِيَّ.أَنَا هُوَ الكَرْمَةُ وأَنْتُمُ الأَغْصَان. مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ وأَنَا فِيه، يَحْمِلُ ثَمَرًا كَثيرًا، لأَنَّكُم بِدُونِي لا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
I kiss your hand, but I beg you to publish my comment so that people can see it. By God, our days and nights pass and we have nothing. Where are the merciful hearts? Our situation is difficult. Our situation is difficult. By God, I wrote these words only out of distress and cruelty. Circumstances, people, your hearts have become devoid of mercy, compassion and humanity. How much I have complained and cried, how much I have called and how much I have pleaded, but there is no life for those you call upon. Is it pleasing to you that my brothers are crying and dying of hunger while you are here? God knows that we do not have a kilo of flour. My father died and my brothers are young. We have no one. By God, they slept hungry yesterday, crying from pain and suffering. Oh good people, are you satisfied that we have been without food since yesterday? Oh brothers in Christ, oh benefactors, I swear on the Holy Book that I will not lie to you, I will not cheat, I will not cheat. I am a displaced Yemeni girl. My family and I have a monthly rent of 20,000 Yemeni riyals, and now we owe 60,000 for three months. The landlord is one of those people who have no mercy. By God, my brother, every day he comes to humiliate us and talk about us and wants to throw us out of the house into the street because we cannot pay him the rent. He does not leave until we cry and go back and tell the neighbors and give them a deadline until the end of the week. If we do not pay, he throws us out into the street without mercy. We are displaced from our country because of this war. We do not find our daily sustenance and we live with my mother and my young brothers and my father passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in the world to stand with us in these harsh circumstances and I do not have older brothers to stand with us in this and stand with us in these circumstances. My brothers are young and I am a girl and I do not know how to work. Some of my brothers went out to the street and saw and saw the neighbors eating, so they stopped and stood at their door to give them even a loaf of bread to satisfy their hunger. Some of us do not have anything and our situation is very difficult. They looked at us with an eye of mercy and threw them away and came back crying and dying of hunger. By God, we do not find a morsel of food and now if one of us does not help us with a kilo of flour, by God we will die of hunger. My brother, I rely on the Lord Jesus and then on you and I want your help so that he may hurry up and I ask you by Jesus Christ Jesus, who taught us mercy and cooperation between us. You love goodness and help me. If I ask for my card name and send it and do not delay, God will give you many times what you gave us. My brother, you are a man. If you see your family hungry, it is impossible to provide for them more, but my eyes are full and my hands are short. I do not have a father like you and my brothers are young. Look. Their condition and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or we die of hunger. Let the Lord be a true and honest witness between us. I am not lying to you with a word in this message and I did not ask you except out of extreme distress and harsh circumstances and the situation that I and my family are in. We ask you in Christ Jesus if you have the ability, O good people, whoever has the ability to help us, do not delay for a moment. This is my number on WhatsApp 00967772168484. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp and we will send him the name. May God reward you ith good.<<<<<<<<!.!.!<.<..€……….{…….¡°…..<…….!!!!¿¡!,!……<.<.<.<<..<[[[[[..<.<..<.<.😢🎉.[.<.[<.><.<…………😢………<.<.<..🎉🎉🎉.😢
Good video. Made me lonely.
It's the beautiful and terrifying thing about life. You can do whatever you want and in the grand scheme of everything, it does not matter. I found it freeing after I full accepted it, though a little depressing at first. You can assign meaning to any part of life you want. You can discover what is important to you. I find we, as a society, waste so much time doing things that we don't actually care much about, that do not serve us at all. I love waking up in the morning, dragging myself out of bed, pouring myself a cup of coffee and writing a list of what I want my day to look like, how I want to live my day. It makes me concentrate of things that actually benefit my life. Takes me away from the impending doom scroll and into a mindset where I have autonomy over my life. Elena's videos are always a good alternative to this too. They make me want to enjoy life my own way
Starting over right now trying to heal release my past life and grief and be celibate during extreme loneliness so thank you for this perfect timing ❤
I moved to Berlin on my own, working here as an architect, learning german – I see so many parallels with you and completely relate to what you're saying. Very inspired to share my thoughts and journey just as you. What a beautiful life we can create with these thoughts:)
Hey Elena! I'm going to Paris next week (5-9 of May) for a solo trip. It's my first solo trip so I'm a bit nervous but also excited to step out of my comfort zone. Do you have any tips for a single gal in Paris? Can you recommend some nice coffee shops and places for breakfast and dinner? 🥰
I am SO excited for this video! I am graduating uni this year and life suddenly feels like a lot of alone time but in an oddly exciting way! Thank you Elena <3
from an extroverted (singer/performer) introvert (adore my own company) who lives in Lucca and is glad to see you here again-this is a sacred thing-thank you for the discourse-and, i feel like cashmere is the perfect light woolies for these days in between winter and summer-what i really appreciate about LilySilk is they understand the longer short sleeve-sleek and where every lovely arm is comfortable and elongated in line. yay.
did you enjoy your holiday
Hello Elena, independently educating your inner self may bring unique experiences that help synchronisation of mind/muscle.
you must read “Lonely City”! It goes deeper on many of the concepts you brought up in this video
I saw you yesterday on a walk along the river, you are so beautiful and i loved your boots 🙂
This is so insightful. Go off gorl
Should we still call it a TV show these days?
Malt Liquor is the best
dear Elena what is the name of the real estate agency? I didn’t catch it. I’d be very grateful for the recommendation, as I’m currently also looking for a new home as a foreigner in Paris.
Being alone is the next level!! Enjoy watching alone from Philly! 😁
I love Paris. First time I went to Europe I purposely didn’t have any reservations of places to stay and landed in Heathrow and figured it out. It was an amazing couple of days!
Too accurate! Been moving around on my own for 5 years now, definitely is important to become your own best friend & embrace your inner creative
nice sharing
44 year old man. been living in solitude for a long time. here and there I was involved with things lightly. I usually have one person to talk to at a time. I could write a book about it. for a man solitude could lead to regretful mistakes too. be careful.
Are you a Capricorn? cause this is also a Cap thing haha we also like our alone time 🧘🏽♀️
Beautiful
wise words from a wise gal <3 Being happy being alone can be hard sometimes but so important for self growth
Amazing well Said dude, I'm also in this stage of life
Me too. I so enjoy time alone reading, relaxing, walking and being in nature, enjoying a cappuccino, smiling inside and outside. I enjoy good friends and outings, but I need my time too!
P.S. I so enjoy the intro clips, but would appreciate having a few seconds longer to actually take in the scene or shots! Thanks!
As a TBR and FBI, I appreciate the goods on display and relish their impression on my brain.
THAT is the emptiness I’ve ever seen Place Des Vosges lol
I can’t wait to move to Paris by myself I hope so one day
