paris vlog｜becoming an adult, girls trip, shopping, eating out 🥐🇫🇷

People I know always say that I'm super lucky to have a supporting, loving, and caring family, but it's not entirely true because of the problems that we had among our relatives. My parents taught me to respect, love, and protect our family. Since I hit puberty, we have had many family issues on my dad's side, and I've witnessed many things that people wouldn't. Betrayals, lies, issues among siblings, and a lot of ingratitude. "Family first, no matter what," these are the words that I repeatedly heard when growing up.

We had first-hand experience of how family issues can affect a person's mental health, happiness, and general well-being. We actively try to do our best for our family. Before moving to Italy and living alone, I thought I understood the meaning and the importance of family, but boy, I was wrong. After spending some time alone, I realized so many things that my family was doing for me without me noticing them. I'm not a child they protect, feed, and take care of anymore.

I stepped into my adulthood, which makes me scared, but at the same time, the more I grow each day, the more my gratitude and love towards my family grows. Every time I look into the mirror, I remind myself to make my family proud and happy. One of the things that I hate the most is giving empty promises, so I decided to take action and bring my mom on a trip to Paris because our lady is in love with traveling, plus, of course, luxury dining.

So here is the journey of me stepping into my rich auntie face, or let's say adulthood. Enjoy! On the day of my flight, I woke up a bit earlier than usual because I wanted to do a bit of yoga before my flight. I always feel kind of anxious when I fly alone, especially this time because my parents used to take care of everything. They made sure that I had everything and even helped with packing my luggage and all these sorts of things. But since now I live alone in Italy, nobody does my thing, so I need to make sure that I have everything and I'm ready.

So it was just making me a bit nervous, a bit anxious, but yoga really helps with that. I should probably be more consistent with my yoga routine, but for that, you know, I'm planning to do a 50-day challenge on Instagram and on YouTube, so stay tuned for those, and I hope that I will stick to my yoga routine.

So I know they're real, they really love...

After my yoga session, I decided to wear a bit of makeup to feel good because you feel good when you look good, and when you look good, it makes you feel good. Since I was nervous, I actively decided to look good so that I could feel good. If you're currently feeling a bit stuck or lazy, even changing your outfit can help with your mental health. Girl, we got this! Go for it! I support you.

After meeting my mom at the airport, we decided to take a taxi to our hotel. This is my third time in Paris; for the first two times, my mom brought me, and for this time, I'm bringing my mom to Paris. Your girl is grown! While looking outside of the window, I was mesmerized by the beautiful city of Paris. I'm so in love with the city, guys! I can't explain to you how much I missed my mom because she's my best friend. She always has my back. I trust her, I love her from the bottom of my heart, and she loves me, and she trusts me too! I love you, mom, so, so much.

I need to do my makeup, and I'm also going to have this cappuccino. This one was really nice. We decided to stay here next time we come to Paris. It's like really small, but it's also a really old hotel. I think this hotel was founded in 1860, but they renovated it in 2019. It's pretty nice; it's really cozy. The breakfast was really good, and generally, the access is fine too. The name of the hotel is Hotel Bright, bright something, but anyways, we'd recommend you guys.

After settling down in our hotel, we decided to do a little walk around Paris, you know, to burn some calories because we knew we were going to eat a lot. I know walking doesn't burn that much of calories, but before eating good food, you gotta feel good, and walking does it. This trip was a birthday gift for my mom from me because this lady's favorite activity is traveling, and she was saying to me, "Oh, I missed Paris so much! Let's go! Let's go!" So I decided to gift her this whole trip.

After having our breakfast number one—I'm saying breakfast number one because we are about to have the second breakfast in our hotel—we walked to the hotel. You know, having breakfast with my mom, hugging her, telling her that I love her, updating each other about our lives is the best way to spend time for me. My love languages are quality time, physical touch, and gift-giving. I often hug my mom and tell her, "I love you."

When was the last time you told your mom that you love her? If you don't remember, I recommend you tell her right now because she is the reason why you are currently alive. So tell your mom that you love her and hug her!

If you're traveling often like me, you probably know how annoying it is when you don't have access to a platform because of the location change. In those scenarios, NordVPN will come in very handy for you. It takes just a click. Open the map, click on your desired location, and you'll be connected in seconds. Yes, it's that easy. You don't need to miss your favorite content anymore. You can access it from anywhere, even when traveling abroad. You can stay at home virtually.

Another thing that I love is that you can find streaming platforms at a lower price. If a platform isn't available in your country, simply change your virtual location with NordVPN. There are more than 5,400 servers in 60 countries! Find a server near you for better speed, or in a very rare location for more content. It also has amazing speed; it's confirmed by speed tests. NordVPN is the fastest VPN out there.

After having our second breakfast, my mom and I decided to walk around the city a bit, and we suddenly came across a church where my mom took a photo 30 years ago, even before marrying my dad. But she forgot the details, and she forgot about the whole trip because she used to think that it's super cool to not take photos and have the memories only in your brain, but she regrets it quite a lot.

One of the things that I really love about my vlogs is that even though when I'm filming them, I feel kind of annoyed because you're not living the moment truly, but when you look back at them, you remember so many things. We watch my vlogs sometimes with my family. The difference between vlogs and photos is that you have your voice, you have your narrative, and you can re-experience things that you experienced before. I don't know, it's so fascinating! You guys are the reason why I keep posting, and also, of course, the money part, for sure! We are honest on this channel. Thank you for being here, and thank you for your support. I appreciate you guys so much!

I'm also kind of tired of doing a voiceover, so I'll be silent for a minute or so and come back. I'll add some music so you can enjoy the clips, you know.

Start to plan what we will do...

I'm back! When talking about memories, six years ago, my mom brought me to this restaurant. This restaurant specializes in escargot—did I pronounce it right? Anyway, I had my first escargot, and I still remember how much I liked it. I think escargot is my top sixth favorite food or something. If you're curious about my favorite foods, I can actually make a video where I try every single one of my favorite foods and explain the origin of them and kind of collaborate with my mom and stuff. It's actually a video idea that I just came up with! So let me know what you think!

Escargots are like snails, basically. It looks disgusting, not gonna lie, but they taste amazing, though. You just sometimes have to be brave!

[Music]

After our huge escargot plate, we also ordered some duck and also sweets, and I just drank espresso or something at 10 p.m. I don't recommend it; I couldn't sleep that night, I'm not gonna lie. I definitely don't recommend, but you can probably see from my expression that I was really happy to see my mom. This trip was right after I arrived in Italy and spent like two weeks alone in my apartment.

I had a mental breakdown multiple times; I think I was crying every single day for no reason because I was trying to get used to living alone and abroad in a country where you don't understand anything about their language, and you don't know their culture. Since I attend the lectures online, I also don't have that many friends in Italy, so it was really affecting my mental health. My family plays a big role in my life, and I think they're the major reason why I live, because I want to make my family proud, and I want to give my best and do my best.

I do believe and I kind of manifest that I will be more and more and more successful in the next upcoming years. You know, I just want to make them happy as well, and I want to give them what they deserve. I don't know what I will do if I lose one of my family members; even thinking about it makes me kind of wanna cry. I can't talk.

The time you have with your family is really limited, especially if you're living abroad like me. Your time gets even shorter and shorter each day, so make sure that you spend your time with your family and tell them that you love them. Bye, guys, and thank you for watching!
