So glad I found your videos! I often feel guilty or shameful for wanting to live a life so differently from others around me. I’m made to feel like I’m lazy, but I’m not. I just don’t aspire to have a lot of material possessions and I truly value my time here on this earth. Thanks for making this, I see now that there are other people in the world who feel the same.
More power to you, Kimberly, I feel just the same and I know very well what you mean about the pressure, guilt and shame! You are not alone and you can totally find friends and people on the internet who are just like you ❤️ I am sure many people who judge would love to free themselves too, but they just can't
You have articulated well an idea I have been starting to grasp only recently. We have been on a journey towards minimalism for more than a year now. With 3 kids and having moved long distances and changed jobs twice already in that time, we have questioned what we want from life, but keep struggling with finding the answer. The things you talk about here will help us I'm sure. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, that's such a unique and amazing story, thank you for sharing! I really am excited for you and how you will teach your children the wonderful side of a simpler life, it's truly inspiring to hear from such parents. Good luck on your journey!
An eye-opening video! I feel like this video has entered my life in the perfect moment as I was so stuck with the feeling of not doing enough and not having enough time for all the things I wanted to do. Thank you so much for your content! ❤️
The first sentence of this video had me hooked because I have had that same existential dread for the same reason. I loved this video and you have a new subscriber! 💚
Thank you for sharing, Tessa! Existential dread is really terrifying and paralyzing sometimes :( I have to remind myself of all the things I've learned to combat it, because it sometimes feel like I'm starting over each time it happens. I feel you!
Ein tolles Video. Ich glaube die Erkenntnisse kommen leider oft erst mit dem Älterwerden... eben nach try & error 😅 aber Manche werden sich auch ewig in ihrem Hamsterrad drehen und versuchen allen Ihren Idealvorstellungen gerecht zu werden. Nach dem persönlichen Glück streben wir ja letztlich Alle.
Danke für das Teilen! Ich habe mir auch das gleiche gedacht: "es kommt mit der Zeit" - aber auch hoffe ich, dass es durch das gegenseitige Teilen unser Erfahrungen für andere einfacher wird. Wenn nicht unter Freunden oder im Internet, dann zumindest von Eltern an ihre Kindern.. lets hope so! Grüße ❤️
You and I are very similar. I'm curious if you've done an MBTI test and what your personality type is? I am an INTJ. I love your shining star analogy, in fact I'd add one more dimension to it. A star's brightness is never a constant, but it fluctuates. I've got a very busy career and around 5 years ago I was certainly shining bright there. I was presenting on stage at large events, producing videos, and writing blogs, with a large community following. Now, I do the bare minimum there because I want to focus my attention on my other hobbies. I've been producing music for the past 2 years, but I'm starting to slow down there (for now) to make room for another passion. Film-making. We will all die, that much is certain. I just don't know when. I believe we don't need an entire lifetime to shine in a particular area. Instead I switch from one, to the next.
Hey, what a lovely comment! I'm sorry I don't answer comments as often as I'd like to. Thank you so much for sharing that, it's really great to know! Out of curiosity I did the test now and came out as an ENFJ-A, which is kind of similar maybe? I for sure would have scored something else just a year ago though. Thankfully personality evolves as we do and we don't have to stick to a singular "type" for our whole lives. But it is a good pointer! I would love to see your work and that sounds really exciting that you did that, so amazing!! That definitely sounds like something I would do, both your past and present self. I love film-making and it's truly where music, words, photos and many other artsy skills come to life. I truly believe you will be amazing at it! I love how you added to my analogy and you are so right. It reminds me of a quote I heard " You WILL have everything you want, just now all at once" So maybe over time you have the things you want, but not simultaneously, depending on where you are currently projecting your energy.
Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with letting go of things, the “what”. Now I understand that my struggle is because I haven’t examined the “why” that gave rise to those desires.
Thank you for sharing, I really hope this has helped you a little! Over time it gets easier to see why we want things if we stop giving into the constant temptation for a little while.

Never feel guilty for wanting a better life.
