Top Comments of this video!! :3
I turned 20 today. Here's my takeaways:
• learn to love the present as much as you idealize the future (which is hard when you're in a traumatic situation, but hopefully not impossible)
• try to do things you'll be proud of in your later years. You may not know just yet, but you can guess, and you can give it your best shot.
• speaking of... GIVE YOUR BEST even if it's washing half the dishes.
• remember to look inward and follow whatever spiritualism is close to you. Grounding is important and helps to clear things up (I'm really trying on this one!!)
• starting something is hard, but very worth it. Take some risks and find what you love.
• "there is no substitute for hard work" — this one, I don't get yet. But I'm not supposed to. I'll get to find out eventually, I'm sure.
• rest is just as important as work.
• sometimes it's okay to go to extremes! If it helps you learn the middle, that's good.
• REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM! A big one, for me.
• believe in love. The realistic kind.
• downtime can create the BEST ideas. Make time to do nothing and rest.
• remember what your biggest (theoretical) purpose is, and try to live in a way that helps it.
Partly writing all this to check in with myself through the years. I'm looking forward to growing more, and understanding more of this. It's good to watch someone else learn themselves inside and out, as it helps us to find our own path.
I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day. <3

Not me about to cry when you said “life is worth living”. I’m turning 25 this year and I feel like I’ve only been coasting my entire 20s up until point. I always have huge ideas of what I want to do but stop myself when the “what if’s” start flowing in my head. I have such a strong desire to be creative, but I stop myself a lot when I feel like “oh, it’s been done before,” or “oh, that’s actually not a good idea…”. I don’t want to do that anymore! I live my life so much in the future, I don’t stop to enjoy the process. Anything slightly different or uncomfortable, I tend to push it away until I get the drive again. I’m gonna keep the ball rolling. The discomfort is just me growing.

Rowena, I just turned 23. I had a massive argument with my dad a few minutes ago. I’m more confused, conflicted, scared, etc. than I have ever been my entire life. And then I stumbled on this, crying as I’m watching it and never been more grateful for this light of hope you’re sharing with us. Thank you.

Oh my goodness HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I’m about to turn 25 in a few weeks and I also feel that sudden dread of getting older without checking off the boxes younger me thought I would. I love how open and honest you are about such a real fear. I pray this year brings you nothing but joy, laughter and success 💜

I'm turning 32 at the end of this month. I spent 10 yrs in restaurants and decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. I was doing great until the university I went to failed me and I was forced to leave school and work so I could afford staying alive. No career. No kids. No idea what to focus on. I just want to be happy and try everything as long as it's contributing to my happiness. I want to be a doctor, a chemistry tutor, restaurant beverage director, nanny, EMT, fitness coach, and I want to open my own bar concept... How do I pick? I want the flexibility of leaving things when they no longer make me happy.

I really appreciate this video. I'm turning 28 in a few weeks. One way your story and mine differ a bit, is that I was really miserable in college and I had no social life. I still have no social life. I've never partied with friends, had a group of people I did things with, all of that. A lot of it is just where I live. I've decided that working on my social life is my primary goal for 28, because feeling like I missed out on the good times sucks. I wish I hadn't gone to college in my hometown. My mom went through several abusive relationships that she leaned on me through, when I was in my early and mid twenties. There was so much loss, really bad poverty. Honestly I'm happy to have made it out alive and I'm doing so much better. I learned so much, but there was a lot of pain. I am SOOOOO ready to have a good time with my life, and things have finally aligned for me where I can make that happen - I'm moving to Seoul and hoping to make some friends and see some things. I've decided my thirties are going to be an adventure because I've worked so hard in my twenties, it's time to have fun before my youth passes me by.

my feelings of uncertainty, doubt, and anxiety, made even worse by the pandemic, has been a main source of distress for me for the past years. hearing you narrate your journey throughout your 20's makes me feel like I'm going to be okay. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. You're like the big sister I never had ❤
I'm 21 but I think I'll be fine.

I’m turning 30 this year as well! And even though the small details of our stories are different. I feel like it’s definitely a universal experience a lot of people go through; just trying to figure things out. I don’t know if I’ll ever have it completely figured out, probably not, but I’m starting to feel more optimistic and sure about myself! Happy birthday!

I’m 22, almost 23 and I’ve never so lost as I do now. I feel like time is moving so fast and I’m frozen in time. I don’t know it feels like the end of the world and as if time is running out even though I’m so young, I feel like I haven’t accomplished enough in my life compared to others in their 20’s and it makes me feel immense amount of FOMO :( I really needed to hear this thank you! I’m crying as I’m watching this

I’m 21 and stumbling across this video was the best “accident” I could’ve possibly had in this moment in time! I know that this is what I need to hear right now, thank you for such a beautifully orchestrated video with so many moving moments, I will keep these lessons with me on my journey through adulthood :)

I’m 22, Ive been feeling lost and like life is passing by way too fast. This video has been a lovely reminder that other people experience the same things, and you just have to trust the process sometimes
