Zoella was one of the first youtubers I found and back in the day I adored her style and charisma but now she seems so...left behind. I really think she needs to get herself around new people. Proper adults who have actual jobs and tit. I think she would do better to find herself an older man. Kind of Louise Pentlands fella who has his own career and seems relativly normal.
I think she would make great content if she just grew up.
This is a great point. Earlier in her career, she was close with Louise, who was a couple steps ahead of her in her personal life - married, with a baby, on the path Zoe wanted to be on (a few years down the line). She LOVED seeing Darcy and I think it made her excited about the next phases of her life, even if she wasn’t quite ready for those things at the time. But then she started dating Alfie, who was at a COMPLETELY different stage in his life than Louise. While Zoe seemed to be happy to just have fun with Alfie for awhile, he was so young and understandably nowhere near ready for marriage/kids, even a few years down the line, and I think she unknowingly regressed. Over time, Zoe stopped hanging out with Louise, the Saccone Jolys, etc - the people who are at stages of life she wants to be at- and was only hanging out with people like Alfie, Sean, and Poppy, who weren’t taking the steps of marriage or kids. I think she’s surrounded by people who are just like Alfie, and could use other influences in her life who are different.
