Anyone who thinks they have life “figured out” is lying or delusional. Most of us are just muddling through, doing the best we can - and quietly leading good enough lives. The key is that you define “good enough” for yourself. Go for personal satisfaction, not medals or high rankings bestowed by some external judge, because even if you achieve those victories, they are fleeting.
If it makes you feel any better, none of us have this life thing figured out. We get new challenges every day, new things we have to persevere over, and it is certainly not easy. You are doing things now to help you figure yourself out though, and to help you have better days. I know one thing is for sure, and that is that I stumble through my day every single day, but I love life so much that I just say “bring it”. You’re taking chances, you’re doing things you’ve never done before and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to do that, so don’t sell yourself short. One thing I always try to tell myself is, since tomorrow is not here, we really only have today that we need to focus on so make today the best day you can no matter what it offers you. And sometimes it doesn’t offer anything on the apparent outside, sometimes our days are hard on our insides so if you have a wonky day like that, do what you’ve been doing and grab your skates or your car keys and get out of your house and do that reset! I’m a big fan of resets, and I find myself doing many resets throughout my day. You’re doing a great job and today is going to be better than yesterday.
That means so much to me❤️ and I love your perspective! Telling life “bring it” and taking chances. I love that! ❤️🙌 I’m pinning this to the top so others read it too 🙌😊
We do ourselves a huge disservice when we live to meet the expectations that other people set out for us. You're doing fine! Excellent, actually. I wish I had been so brave to leave home and go do what *I* wanted to do for myself. Your candor and transparency are needed as you are holding the torch for those coming behind. They need you. WE need you. Much love to you!
One thing as a native Floridian that I would encourage you to do before putting down roots is stay during our hottest most humid months. It doesn't bother me too much because I'd rather be hot and sweaty than cold but sometimes it's prohibitively hot to even natives to be outdoors. I think it's a natural human drive to strive to be better and it can be a beneficial survival instinct. But it can be negative if it's keeping you from doing things... maybe a mental shift like "I have more in me that I can offer" can help. I think a lot of us are in the same boat as you in this regard and I hope knowing that makes you feel better. 💙
Hi Lyndsey, you are doing great. I’m a 60 year old woman and we are all still figuring out life. The important thing is to take care of your health physical and mental. Physical is a bit easier to figure out. Mental comes with being objective and learning who we really are. Then making decisions to.change those parts of ourselves we feel we need to get closer and closer to our peace. Please keep discovering what makes you happy and keep doing it.
So true physical health is improve at, and so is mental, and that one is less straightforward to take care of ❤️thank you so much for your kind words 😊
You’re amazing Lindsay !!! Hearing you so down hurt my heart. It will take time and it will suck some more but you’ll meet people when you least expect.
There’s no right or wrong way to do things. Just do! At least you’ll have cool stories and lessons for us all to see / experience with you along the way. Ps you should try some Dutch braids They’d look dope on you
Thank you so much!! That is such a good point🙌 because it’s on video, even if I make mistakes, we can all learn from them so it’s never a loss of it helps others too😊❤️ I’ll have to look up Dutch braces, I have been practicing French braces, still struggle a little lol ☺️
Your so young to be so hard on yourself… I hope you know that you do have time to figure life out… you. Have time… i have learned that in 50 years you have time. Today all you. Need to do is enjoy today tomorrow is not promised.. nothing external brings you value… money, man or degree, or house or car.. YOu have to decide you are valuable despite everything… do what you love. Lindsey… keep doing what you love and learn i had to learn to be happy.. your own voice is the one that should be your cheer leader.
Lindsey, stop worrying about trying to meet other people’s expectations. You need to take a long look in the mirror and realize that you are a beautiful, intelligent and interesting young lady. And most importantly you need to know that you are enough!!! Breathe, take one day at a time and everything will work it’s way out.
I love your videos! You should be so proud of yourself for taking this adventure! It really is very impressive! The only thing that makes me sad is seeing you eating lots of chicken as they are very sweet animals, just like the cute dogs and cats you draw.
I’m so glad you are loving the adventure vids!😊 do you raise chickens? My friend had pet chickens, they were so cute and she could hold some of them❤️ optimally I would love to never eat anything that was living 🌱

You’re absolutely right. I’m in my 40s and I’m still muddling about! One day at a time.

Thank you so much!! I’ll probably do more in the future 🙌
Hope you’re ok
Have you gone to the trouble to trademark TM all of your designs? If not you should look into that.
I did one time to trademark a company name, but I have no moneys lol, definitely something I will do in the future if the company is successful! 🙌
