      I’m starting to forgot more and more about people who I was really close with once and it’s sad because I wasn’t journaling during that time so I don’t have much to look back on. Taking pictures, texts, voicemails, writing letters or journal entries about someone your close with is special because you can go back when you start to forgot and you can everything remember again

    From a 34 yr old that's been married for 10 yrs and has 3 kids. I'll tell you these once you find your person non of your past break ups will matter. In fact your forget you even dated other people. Don't take breakups so hard they won't matter later in life

    • @sunsetfromvenus
      @sunsetfromvenus 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +181

      From a 34 year old who hasn’t found my man and is still searching. Every man I’ve ever dated has influenced me greatly. I’ve learned so much from each of them, they have become a part of me. I would never forget any of the loves I’ve had. I’m grateful for each one and each break up has only made me a better person. It’s like I absorbed the best traits from them while releasing the worst ones from myself. We’re not all lucky to find “the one” early in life. But every love along the way is still worth it

    • @ChickenFerLei

      As a 32 year old woman who’s been with my man for almost 15 years, who did break up in high school for 2 years, I fell in love with someone else too. Or so I thought! Ended up getting back with my boyfriend from when we were kids after graduating high school. We’re still together and have a kid. All my other breakups have affected me and helped me grow in some way. I agree with both of these comments!! None of those other relationships even matter anymore. You will find that one person for you, trust me. Don’t be afraid to fall in love and let it happen. Or else you’ll never know what could’ve/would’ve happened! But your feelings are valid and break ups suck! Just know that you’ll get through this.❤

    • @Anon.7982

      As a 42 year old woman married for 12 years with 3 kid's. I agree with what was commented. It will not matter later on in life. Before meeting my husband I spent from the age of 12 years old to 27 years old in a relationship with the same guy and when we parted ways, (was for the best) we both eventually found our spouses we married and had kid's with. Was it hard breaking up, "absolutely," but we were better off without each other. This too shall pass. God bless you beautiful! 🙏❤️

      ​Past breakups DO affect future relationships. Even marriage. Especially if you've had sex. Ever hear of soul ties? I'm glad your married though. I've been divorced twice and there is nothing more traumatizing. Breakups are extremely painful & it weighs on your soul. It creates baggage too and trust issues.

We are all witnessing your journey from self hate to self love in the span of multiple videos, years, days, weeks. You’re so raw , more people should watch you, know you, talk to you. You are a healer Mai. You have such a high amount of love and good energy. You are contagious and radiate such good vibes. You speak from the soul and just because it’s a video, us as viewers FEEL it Mai. Thank you once again. ❤

This was so relatable and beautiful. Being able to love is so special, and it’s such a beautiful experience. I’m glad you can look back and learn from it. That’s what life is all about :) you are a HUMAN, and I love that you embrace it. It’s special to be able to connect with people through a screen like you do. I’m glad to have been following along on your journey for the past few years. Keep it up.

    the "blank, thank you" hit me really hard, because ive only really looked at my past relationhip with anger and negativity and didn't want to think about the fact that they made me so happy and taught me so many things. because its difficult to be devastated when you're angry. it's difficult to understand that this person was really good for you and made you really happy when you're telling yourself that you hate them. even if they broke your heart into a million little pieces, you realize that that is how you grow as a person.

    i love this so much the vulnerability it took to articulate and express through the feelings and emotions is so powerful. when i was in my late teens and early 20s i wasn’t this attuned to myself at all and i were to go back to my younger self who was chasing after the echo chamber of success i would tell her you’re doing enough girl you’re doing your best and i am truly grateful for all of you right now putting the most effort and work to not be afraid. i really love you guys as a whole who’re making changes and staying true to yourself while going after what you want and keep going guys i believe in all you and i genuinely look toward to you guys posting more of your journey ❤❤❤❤❤

    Mai, I really think I needed this video. I needed it because I'm still in mourning of my own breakup that happened almost two years ago now and I'm still feeling it so hard. This video was a reminder that even though time has passed, the love can still be there. The heartbreak can still be felt even if you're not in the throes of it anymore. It can still shape the person that you are even if you're not the version of yourself you once were, and that's everything to me. You're truly such a strong and resilient person and I'm glad I found you when I did, because you've made my life better by just being yourself and offering your voice to the world. So thank you. Thank you.

Your words feel like actions, it feels like pictures and emotions, not words. Idk I hope you get what I mean but I tried my best to describe it.

Hearing about the journey you made, seeing you be real and show raw emotions on youtube really hit something in me. It was the advice you gave yourself was the exact advice i needed and i still sit here doing diffrent stuff and i find myself being reminded by everything that this video exists and its definetly one of the best ones youve ever made. Sure, i love the aesthetic home cleaning self care stuff too but this is just a diffrent side that i think we should have more on social media.

      I always thought boys that grow into men not every man is show affection but their first sign of affection is from their mom and it’s unconditional and idk if it’s because how I grew up but I kinda had to earn my moms love by being a specific daughter or person but what I’m trying to get at hear is the love men receive from their mother is the standard and unconditional and if it’s beyond more than what they were given as a child I think they scratch the surface of first love or falling in love, but if it’s less I think they don’t really care.

    The way u wrote about him, just literally i could feel your pain through mine.
    It warms my soul that I can relate to someone so deeply whos across the globe from me. Since then I’ve also done a lot of healing and self care, but I’m far from perfect. I’ve suddenly been struggling with that breakup recently, and you helped me feel less alone.
