Hey guys, it's Syd.

Wow, these videos make me seem like I literally have no friends.

I actually do.

Today I'm spending yet another day alone.

One of my favorite things is to be alone.

Basically this is just us hanging out together.

It's kind of how I think about it.

I woke up this morning,

made some yogurt for breakfast.

We'll see how long this yogurt bowl situation lasts.

I give it about a month until I'm bored of it.

all right let's go get coffee i don't know what's come over me

but the past month i have been

so obsessed with city biking nothing can come between me

and this bike like even in times where i don't need to take the bike I could easily walk.

I choose the bike.

It's just so fun.

So I'm gonna bike to,

I don't know, I think I'm gonna try this like new coffee shop that I found on TikTok as always.

Ignore the earbuds.

I really need to like elevate my production system around here.

I'll do an iced latte with vanilla and skin, please.

Okay, guys, so I'm trying a new coffee shop today.

Guys, I can't make videos anymore.

I'm going to blow away.

This is the last you're ever going to see me.

I'm having trouble conceptualizing the fact that seven-year-old girls just went to get an iced matcha.

They went on an iced matcha date.

I don't think I knew what matcha was until I was like 16.

But I support it.

It was cute.

This coffee tastes great.

It's almost like a little bit nutty.

I love it, minus the hair that I'm also tasting.

I love finding new coffee shops.

I would say it's a hobby of mine.

When people ask, what do I like to do?

This is what I like to do.

Recently, I've been really wanting to have a picnic.

I don't know why, but I've asked a few friends.

I've like tried to make it work and it just hasn't.

And obviously, I don't know.

I always think if you want to do something,

you should just do it,

even if it's by yourself.

So I'm going to take myself on a little picnic date,

I think in Central Park.

Oh, look at the dogs.

But I don't have really anything for the picnic.

So I think I'm going to go to Marshall's.

They always have the best selections for like such a great price.

So I'm going to head there now.

Thank you to Marshall's for working with me on this video.

It feels so nostalgic for me because I remember going to Marshalls with my mom so much growing up.

And they have so many cool things,

like so many nice designer finds too.

Basically, I'm taking myself on a little date today.

I've been loving these like sequin type bags for summer.

Like this is so cute.

So I have a lot of stuff.

I'm kind of in between a few things.

I just found this navy blue cardigan.

I love the material on this.

I also love this short sleeve sweater.

I just love how every The Marshall store is different.

There's always different things that you can find at all of them.

I also love looking at all of the different designer stuff that they have.

It's one of my favorite things about Marshall's.

There's so many great brands at like such great prices.

They also have tons of snacks.

So I might get some for the picnic and just like make it really cute.

I want it to be really cute for literally just myself.

One of my favorite things to get here are their candles because they have so many.

I'm gonna try to find a new one and smell every single one because I'm indecisive.

Shopping spree complete.

I made it back home.

I wanna show you guys some of the ones I got because I'm so excited about them.

Should I do a little try on haul?

All right, starting off, I got this blue navy tank along with some linen pants.

I love a good cozy pair of linen pants for summer.

And then I also saw these beautiful braided sandals,

which I thought were so pretty.

I don't have any brown sandals like this in my closet.

I'm trying to figure out what to wear for my picnic.

Guys, look, I'm wearing color for once.

I feel like brunettes look really good in blue.

No hate to blondes.

Is it, am I even right about that?

I love this little blue cardigan.

Kind of like to tuck it like this.

Also with these linen pants and sandals, so cute.

The past like six months,

I've been on the hunt for a good cardigan.

I saw this one, which I thought was such a nice staple piece.

I loved it so much.

I got it also in white because I need the same thing in every color for some reason.

At the end when I was leaving,

I saw this white button down top and I loved this little texture that it has.

Ooh, I kind of like this.

100

I like the white and like the beige.

101

Ooh, I also got this bag that I think would go with this so well.

102

I think this is the outfit guys.

103

Anyways, it's time for my date.

104

Kind of nervous.

105

Just kidding.

106

I also forgot that they have snacks there.

107

So I grabbed some little orange slices

108

which i already started to eat first date kind of nervous

109

so i'm

110

at my picnic say hi to everyone

111

i feel like i'm turning into like a dad joke person

112

and i hate that i have my snacks that i laid out

113

so beautifully oh

114

when i was at marshall's earlier i picked up a new notebook i filled my other one up

115

so i thought it was time to get a fresh new

116

journal i love how marshall's has literally everything stationary clothes even

117

these snacks like i never need to go anywhere else ever again i did want to say to you guys

118

that a lot of the times in these videos,

119

I feel like I watch them back

120

and it makes it look like I have my whole life together and like I'm so good at being alone.

121

But that is not the case.

122

For example, last week I was so lonely.

123

I kept calling my mom and like crying on the phone because I don't know,

124

just like one of those weeks where I felt just like alone in a big city especially

125

when you're friends

126

and everyone's like super busy with work it's no one's fault

127

it's just like part of life sometimes there's seasons where you're

128

gonna be alone more of the time than not i would also say

129

that just

130

because you're in a relationship you should still make sure you

131

do things alone i love my boyfriend i've been with him for like a year

132

and a half now i still think it's important as much

133

as i love spending time with him to also enjoy my

134

time alone do things alone maintain my relationship with myself on

135

top of it all it gets harder I think as you get older I'm sure as you have kids

136

so who knows I might be just super naive saying that

137

but it's something

138

that I think has actually even helped our relationship being able

139

to have a little bit of independence makes coming together like

140

even better somehow am I yeah I'm yapping now see it's

141

in seven minutes I need to stop welcome to our sterile

142

kitchen I always say I'm gonna like fix the lighting in

143

here it's just you guys accept me for me I'm about to make the same meal that I always make,

144

my taco bowls.

145

If you have recommendations of things that I can try that are healthy but also easy,

146

I'm gonna ask that you please let me know

147

because I have a feeling this is gonna run its course pretty soon and then I'm gonna be needing something new.

148

I have been cooking a lot more though and I've been really starting to like it.

149

What happened to me, I don't know.

150

Never did I think I'd see the day.

151

I used to absolutely hate cooking.

152

Maybe that's just getting older.

153

I don't know but whatever, I'm gonna cook.

154

as you can already see i'm cooking the ground beef i

155

always make sure to add a taco seasoning packet though my mom taught me

156

that they make the world's difference i also have some jasmine rice cooking

157

while that's going i start making the guac some ripe avocado onion tomato all chopped up with some cilantro lime

158

and salt trust me it is

159

so good guys like i promise you all right guys dinner

160

is served i went into a little bit more detail than usual

161

when i was making this

162

because I wanted you guys to be able to have the recipe

163

if you want and I forget the last time that I showed you guys.

164

It is so simple.

165

The main thing is making the guac.

166

Wow I'm really whipping this around like Disney Channel.

167

What makes these bowls good in my opinion is really the guac.

168

You can kind of customize it how you like.

169

Personally I love a lot of onion and cilantro and lime.

170

Pretty much everything.

171

I also always have crackers on the side with the extra guac

172

because it's probably my favorite thing that I make

173

and my boyfriend's told me it's also his favorite thing that I make if that says anything.

174

Foolproof meal, really.

175

For those of you that can't cook, I've been there.

176

Actually, I'm still there.

177

This one's pretty, pretty hard to mess up.

178

I'm not gonna lie.

179

Like, if you mess this up, you're bad.

180

I made a groundbreaking discovery this week.

181

I thought that anyone who ever cuts tomatoes would experience,

182

like, itchy fingers because this has always happened to me.

183

And then I found out that's not normal.

184

It apparently means you're like allergic or have contact dermatitis with the tomatoes,

185

but you can still eat them.

186

Until I asked someone, I thought everybody experienced that.

187

And that's why I hate cutting tomatoes,

188

especially my hands itch like uncontrollably.

189

Anyways, I felt like I needed to share that because if anyone else has this problem,

190

they deserve to know like I did.

191

join me for a getting unready video i am feeling very asmr right now maybe

192

because the candle it's like putting me in a mood

193

that is the candle i got earlier at marshall's i had

194

to burn it immediately you guys know what time it is

195

advice time it's been too long it's actually not been too

196

long it's been literally i think one video i also changed into this tank from earlier

197

because i just wanted to be cozy hey sydney i have a scenario i'd love your advice on in your next video.

198

I get in these random phases,

199

sometimes two times a week and sometimes multiple months,

200

where I simply don't feel like being social.

201

Not for anything my friends did wrong,

202

but I often accidentally end up ghosting them.

203

Even though this isolation is my choice,

204

it still makes me feel like crap and is no good for my mental health.

205

Thoughts.

206

I also used to be bad at texting people back and I realized as I got older,

207

the people that are important to me,

208

I really need to prioritize responding to.

209

Not immediately, like I totally get things happen,

210

but I was getting like pretty bad.

211

Guys, I was just lazy.

212

I was being lazy.

213

I don't know.

214

It's just not a nice thing to do

215

And I think i've worked hard to get better at that

216

And I just think of being in the other person's shoes How

217

that would feel like not getting a response for weeks from

218

someone even though nothing's wrong I feel like the best thing you can do though

219

If you do get in these phases is to like communicate

220

with your friends even just shooting them literally A two-second text being like hey, sorry.

221

I've been so busy.

222

I promise i'll get back to you later this week That's like all it takes

223

and that's something that i've been doing a lot more just so I don't feel so bad,

224

like not responding to people.

225

People usually understand, even just like a quick short memo,

226

like letting them know will probably mean a lot.

227

So that way they're not left completely hanging.

228

Since you said that this makes you feel bad,

229

if there's a way to like proactively prevent this from happening,

230

maybe a close friend you could trust,

231

you can tell them, hey,

232

I get in these funks sometimes.

233

If I don't respond, can you like call me out?

234

Or even like planning in advance,

235

like a few hangouts, like a month in advance,

236

couple of weeks in advance if it's possible.

237

I feel like one of the biggest things I've learned,

238

just like through any scenario,

239

is preventative measures or what helps in like so many life situations.

240

I also get in these phases and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

241

If for a couple of weeks,

242

maybe I'm just feeling like,

243

maybe I'm feeling antisocial and I don't really see a lot of my friends.

244

I mean, that's like kind of normal,

245

but obviously if it's not making you feel good, then that's another story.

246

Do I look insane?

247

Did I get my, whatever, I don't even care.

248

Time for bed.

249

I love you guys.

250

Thanks so much for watching.

251

Also, thank you again to Marshalls for working with me.

252

This was so fun.

253

I love you guys And we'll see you in my next vlog.

254

Bye
