This is how I truly look today. Yesterday my face was puffy, red and covered in tears. I am grateful for all the encouragement I received yesterday but I also need to bring to your attention how many people was tearing me apart in the comments because I posted a photo of me at the beach sharing my grief and an encouragement message with all of you. I took that photo weeks ago and I chose that photo to represent that life is worth living. Sometimes I donā€™t really understand why people feel the need to try to destroy others, why people chose hate and malignancy over love and understanding. Here I attached 2 screenshots of messages people without heart left me yesterday. I already deleted all these comments, but YouTube does not let me block these people; this platform only allows YouTubers to block people from commenting ONLY so I feel horrible because I want to block every single person that is hurtful towards me or my family and I just donā€™t want them stoking my videos. I already spoke to YouTube about this situation but they only told me to call the authorities if I feel in danger. So if there is anyone here that can track YouTube accounts and find their real name I am asking for help because I had enough of taking hate in for over a year now with similar comments like these: swipe left on this post.
I canā€™t even share all the comments and emails I received from haters because some of them threaten my safety and life, so I please ask for help here if anyone works in cybersecurity and knows how to retrieve peoples information via a YouTube handle please get in contact with me.

There wonā€™t be a video today. I am taking time to grieve; today itā€™s been a year since Philip left this earth. If you follow this channel you know that Philip was my husband, my best friends and he was part of my life for almost 10 years. Even though we were divorced when he died, my heart shuttered in a million pieces the moment I learned that I will never see him again.
I want to take a minute to speak up about the importance of mental health and substance abuse. If you are going through a dark period in your life, seek help, donā€™t be ashamed of starting a new life with new friends and new healthy habits. Open up about your demons and donā€™t use drugs as a coping mechanism to avoid your pain.
All of us make mistakes, all of us suffer, all of us might feel horrible sometimes but I promise you that life is worth living, no matter the circumstances you might be experiencing right now.
I speak with tears today about this; god told me to share a message of encouragement today to anyone that might read this. Life is not easy, sometimes might look dark but I promise that the light is also there, just keep on pushing, keep on fightingā€¦ you matter and the world is a better place with you in it šŸ©µ

Itā€™s not a secret that I had a hard life. The last year was mentally difficult and it was the most challenging period of my life after losing my ex husband to suicide and my dad to a sudden deathā€¦
My dad was a very strong man; he was in the military in Spain and also practiced martial arts his whole life. He always told me to never play the victim role, to never make people feel sorry for me, to never look for sympathy in my weakness.
After his death this important lesson and way of life has been stuck in my head. Every day I that I was feeling sad, his voice eco in my head and I could hear him telling me: ā€œLidia, donā€™t be a victimā€ he always told me that when I cried for not so important thingsā€¦
I didnā€™t let my pain guide my actions and influence my future. I donā€™t let my past define my future. I live in the present more than ever. I am full of life and I want to smile harder than ever before.
Life is not always perfect, certainly itā€™s actually full of ups and downs, painful things and amazing beautiful moments.
If youā€™re in a rough season, just know that you are not alone, we all have to endure those seasons, we will come to the other side stronger and with a smile that will bright other peopleā€™s lives!
Thank you for watching my videos šŸ©µšŸ™Œ you helped me more than you know this year!

I'm a woman and I travel alone. It's not scary, not lonely, and not uncomfortable. I feel empowered by traveling light and on a budget. I don't need fancy 5-star hotels; you'll actually find me in the cheapest hostel in town, having the best time while meeting people of all age groups from everywhere in the world. Some people will call me crazy, while others will say I inspire them to be brave and adventurous. I'm not sure if I'll ever change, but for now, this is how I explored London - with a skateboard under my feet and a smile from ear to ear. I'm grateful to be alive, grateful for knowing who I am, where I come from, and where I'm going. Don't let people ever tell you how to live; they usually have no clue what life is truly about!
