Girl I'll be 40 in December. Life is like a video game we are all on different levels. As long as you have air in your lungs, food on the table, and clothes on your back you are BLESSED. We gotta stop putting these crazy expectations to ourselves
I am watching the video and said she’s going through this at 30, and I will be 40 this year. Your comment was the first one I saw. Thank you! Your comment helped me.
Oh to be in my 30's again!!! So many young ladies need to hear this! We put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves, only to realize that life is never going to go exactly how we want or expect it to go. It's ok to have goals, but sometimes the goal post move before we can make it to the finish line and that is ok. Continue to live and grow young lady and you will be just fine. Kudos to you for using your platform to speak on real issues and to spread knowledge and positivity! 👏🏽👏🏽💐
I agree! I feel like especially as women, we sometimes put these deadlines on ourselves and a lot of things are just out of our control. It's best to just take life as it comes and enjoy the journey. Thank you for your kind words; it really means a lot ❣
@@lanasymone You're welcome💛You said the key words..."enjoy the journey." The journey will teach us many lessons that we didn't know we needed. To our surprise, those lessons makes us wiser and stronger.
Girl this sounds soooo much like my testimony!!!!!! Getting fired from a job at 25 that I didn’t get trained for is the most crushing feeling when you are used to achieving, but YOUR LIFE STORY WILL CONTINUE!
I can relate to some of your experiences so much. I got fired from a job last year and was so depressed. It was my first time ever being fired. I wish I would've heard your story sooner, lol. I definitely stayed depressed until that same job called me and wanted to rehire me this year. And the thing with the ice cream wrapper is not weird. I would ask and do the same thing. And actually, I try not even put food or takeout food containers in my trash. Like I will put it in a different bag and throw it outside in the trash.
@@avasd59 yep. My dream job. And I didn't get fired for anything horrible. I just wasn't vaccinated at the time and that was part of the company's rules.
Oh wow! Well I'm glad that they called you back. What a blessing! And I'm glad that I'm not the only one with the food containers cause it really stresses me out! Lol
I really enjoyed this video so much alana!! I’m so glad you decided to share this because I actually could relate to your story a lot. Even tho I’m still in my early twenties I tend to put pressure on myself for not being were I want to be in life but you just reminded me that it’s okay if things doesn’t go according to our plans because often times there’s always a lesson to learn through any difficult time we go through.. so I’m just extremely appreciative for you sharing this.. Keep being the bright positive light that you’re Ms. Alana Simone..❤❤✨🙌🏽
Awww 🥰 I really enjoyed this video! U really are my daughter in my head! 😊. Alana, u are exactly where u are supposed to be in life. Enjoy yourself and continue loving on your family n friends. I’m sure you will make someone and awesome wife n mother someday. Until then, trust God’s plan for your life and have a blast! U are so darn beautiful inside & out! Take care!
Girl I really appreciate this. I turn 30 in April. And I had the same thoughts of what I would be accomplishing by a certain age. And whew girl that was funny. I got my first apartment at 23 and ended up moving back in with my parents at 29 so I can catch up on debt and going back to school. But honestly we all are living for the first time so just figuring it out as we go. no one way is the right way. I learned that trying to do it perfect the first time won’t always happen and not to beat myself up for it.
Sisssss I love love love all your videos they always put a smile on my face it’s impossible not to be in a good mood because you bring the vibes, your content is always a hit 🔥 this has to be one of my favorites forreal! this is so inspiring and real on different level and I appreciate it so much! So many of us can relate to having mixed emotions about entering a new chapter and the 30s is something many of us can all relate to. That common question of did I accomplish everything etc ❤ also, knowing you and seeing you evolve has been incredibly inspiring siss! love you to pieces and I’m grateful for a friendship 💕🫶🏽
Awww sis! You have played such a huge role in my growth for years and I thank you for being such an amazing friend. Love you so much & I'm so excited to be entering 30 with you ❤❤
I turned 30 Christmas Eve but I was excited because I died when I was 21 two weeks before my 22nd birthday but yay I’m still alive and my 30s are all about me and my wants
I love this! I turn 30 in march and at first I was looking forward to it but then my birthday came and I was like mannnnn I’m grown grown 😩😂 but nonetheless 30 has been a wonderful ride! You’ll love it here
Omg okay this is so random but did you used to post dance videos with your friends back in the day on TH-cam?!?! If so that’s crazy how I’ve run into your channel after all these years!!! So beautiful 💜
I'll be 46 in two weeks and wouldn't trade it for the world!!! Enjoying my 40s so much more than my 30s. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and learn to adapt and adjust and you'll be fine!!! Also, I didn't get married until 32 and had my FIRST child at 36! Life happens...the goal is to live, learn and keep going! ❤
What a great video! Alana you will be fine, I am sure of that! People need to realize that things don't matter only the people who support and Love you, that is lasting!!! God Bless!
I’ll be 29 on September 28th, it is crazy to even think that, where I am in life definitely wasn’t according to plan, but that’s why they say God laughs at your plan, but everything is meant for you in your path. I’m stoked and hopefully you’ll share your 30th ❤️
Hey l agree with all your points!! I believe things happen for a reason one closes and another one opens and l enjoyed the view God bless you with continued success ❣️
This is one my biggest fears also separating from my mom and I'm married now.... My husband and are saving up to get our own place....my biggest thing is letting go because it's always been my mom and I until I met my husband in 2018
It's really a struggle! I'm sending you and your husband all the well wishes with getting your own place. Praying that you find something that is perfect for you guys ❤
I love how iconic “How Sway?!” still is all these years later 😂 Love the chat. I just turned 34 and life is not at ALL how I planned it but God is great! Once we realize how much control we have (over some areas) of our lives, we’ll stop worrying and start planning/executing!

Hello Alana 👋🏽 before I throw away a ice cream carton or cinnamon rolls container I spray it with ant & roach spray then in the trash 🗑 it goes 😂😅
LOL that's actually genius! Get in front of the issue before it becomes a problem!
@lanasymone thanks sweetie 😘 have a safe Labor day weekend
