Remi Bader's Touching Thanksgiving Reflection
Remi Bader recently shared an emotional moment on her Instagram Stories, revealing that she spent Thanksgiving alone. The 29-year-old content creator admitted that this was "not part of the plan," but it was necessary for her well-being. Her heartfelt message resonated with many followers engaged in similar circumstances this year.
Bader’s Instagram Story opened with a note to "anyone else spending Thanksgiving alone," overlayed on a serene image of orange roses. In her post, she expressed gratitude to her followers, stating, "Know I love you and I'm grateful for you!" She later included a tearful photo of herself, thanking those who had invited her to join their gatherings.
In her heartfelt message, Bader explained the importance of setting boundaries for mental health. "I am definitely an over sharer, so for once I'm not going to, but sometimes you need to do what's best for you," she shared, acknowledging that spending the holiday by herself was necessary. Eager for her favorite meal, she asked followers for recommendations for Thanksgiving dining in New York City.
As a result of her request, Bader received over 50 recommendations, which she joyfully showcased. Her subsequent Story captured a cozy scene: "Decided to put on my wicked pjs, drink some wine and watch the new Lindsay Lohan movie on Netflix."
On TikTok, Bader continued her candid dialogue, reaching out to those also celebrating alone. She acknowledged that there are myriad reasons people find themselves in solitude during the holiday, stating, "I just needed to set boundaries with myself." She reminded viewers that it's common to feel pressured to be surrounded by others on holidays, even when those situations may not serve one’s mental health.
Bader spoke about her struggle with accepting change, admitting that her usual holiday traditions would not happen this year. Yet, she encouraged a mindset shift. Initially upset, she decided to embrace the dinner alone, opting later for takeout from a respected recommendation instead.
Choosing personal comfort, Bader described in her video how she poured herself a glass of wine, lit a candle, and participated in her chosen holiday: enjoying Thanksgiving dinner without expectation. She humorously acknowledged the $64 cost of her meal, which featured all classic dishes, including turkey and pumpkin pie.
The fashion influencer expressed deep connection and support for followers experiencing their own challenges on the holiday. She proclaimed, "Your Thanksgiving does not need to look like everyone else’s," encouraging everyone feeling low not to lose sight of their value and worth.
Days later, Bader made an impactful post discussing her focus on food content and the struggles with binge eating she has faced in her life. She revealed progress on her journey, sharing, "I still do have a pretty messed up mindset when it comes to food, but it's so much better." Bader expressed enjoyment in sharing her journey with varied food experience, hoping to inspire others along the way.
