my apologies for the audio being weird! i've figured out the problem so will make sure it doesn't happen again! love y'all & hope you're having an amazing week❤
girl you're not being pessimistic. society is objectively collectively getting worse in massive proportions and you and me both are tired of it . dont worry about how you come across ! just deliver the message thats been put in your heart. you are welcome to express yourself and your audience will listen
Actually, on most measures the world is improving at an accelerated pace. Poverty is declining, our health is better than ever, the male-female gap in income and education is rapidly closing, gay and trans rights are on the map, we have access to good food, clean water and education, cancer death rates are falling, a decline in working hours and child labour. The list goes on. Not too long ago it was illegal for black and white people to marry each other, in the 70s there were hundreds of terrorist bombings in the US and the violent crime rates were DOUBLE what they are now. People have lived through the plague, war time, slavery. It is not, in fact, objectively collectively getting worse. You can’t fix what is wrong in the world if you don’t have the whole picture. I feel concerned that people seem to be letting the algorithm and 24 hour news cycle that cover every single tragedy affect their hope for the future this much. Expressing a feeling is one thing but I hope you don’t let fear trick you into being passive.
@@kimkenickieThank you so much for making this comment! It really serves as a reminder to zoom out from the doom and gloom ideologies that we all can be guilty of buying into.l
Your content has helped me so much at times when I felt crazy & has made me realize there’s so much more to the world to see/learn. Thank you so much ❤️
"girl i'm not gonna go sit here and sell you a journal." see, this is why i LOVE YOU. i am LITERALLY in the exact same mindset, i just turned 23 and i've been feeling this way for quite some time. i just wanna read my books, stay out the way and chill the fuck out. i don't have any energy to overexert myself for this stupid system. i already don't fit so many of the boxes they set up; i'm a black and brown mixed person, i'm nonbinary, i don't want kids, i don't want a relationship/to get married, i'm not on social media (besides youtube and pinterest lol) etc. i just want some damn peace. and i'm also heavily empathetic, so i have to limit my news intake, so i get what you were saying about that as well. you literally have a subscriber for lifeeee
honestly don't even limit your news intake if you're highly sensitive, get rid of it completely. You know who you need to vote for, (the lesser of two evils sigh), you don'y need anymore info from the news. Not reading the news at all changed my life for the better
Nooo because I feel the same! I'm tired of caring so much & I have10 yrs on you. I'm so sensitive & empathetic, yet fiery. I've had to unfollow so many platforms/ppl & dissociate.
I’ve written and deleted a comment so many times cause i resonate so much with this (especially being the same age as you) and I can’t even articulate just how much I agree with you Lynette but I’ll just leave this: my dad passed away in March. While my siblings and I were cleaning out his apartment, we came across so many precious things that he had held onto for decades - newspaper clippings, beloved ties and t-shirts, Father’s Day cards we had given him as kids. And as we sat there and debated with each other and ourselves about what to keep and what to donate or throw away, I realized that my dad’s life ~materially~ boiled down to just the things in that apartment. But my dad himself was SO FAR BEYOND that apartment. At the end of the day his physical belongings meant nothing. They were precious to us just because of who he was and how amazing of a person he was. Losing my dad has completely changed my outlook on life about what’s important, what to cultivate, what I’ll be remembered for. One day all the clothes I buy, the decor I put up in my house, my car will just be things I’ve left behind. And that’s not to say they don’t matter (my dad LOVED his car haha) but it means I can’t lose sight of what really makes me, me.
Shout out to you dad💜 he’s the one that helped wake you up out this “game”. Lost my uncle who filled multiple shoes in September so I feel you love 💜 makes you focus on what you can leave for your loved ones (morals, videos, love) when it’s our turn to dipset outta this world!
@@boitumelodibetso8719definitely! I don’t remember every single thing my dad said to me or did or bought me but I remember how loved he always made me feel 🩵
@@GoldenBossQueenthank you 🩵 I’m so sorry about your uncle too. Yes morals/lessons especially are so important. Even though people that come into my life in the future will not have met my dad, they will know him through me - stories and just the way I approach the world through the lessons he taught me. May we both keep our loved ones’ memories alive!
I lost my mom in March too. Going through her things as well. My mom loved her home and her decor. What is important to me is that we keep the legacy alive in their memory. Keeping our families together is so important. Focusing on caring for each other. Handing down some of their most cherished treasures and traditions. These distractions out here are just that distractions from what really matters in life. Condolences to you and your siblings ❤
I turned 25 last month and share the same sentiments. I take none of this seriously anymore. I’m not going to lose my mind and become depressed about what’s happening in the world. I hate that people try to make you feel bad for not jumping behind every social issue or social media trend. Over it. I’m not interested in anyone’s self help journal when a $1 notebook serves the exact same purpose. I’m in the process of curating my social media feeds to more positivity and less about the matrix. I don’t care about politics or anything else outside of pouring into myself and other people who are like minded.
I know you touched on it very lightly but I'd like to add, continuing self help or self improvement when you've already achieved those goals, just perpetuates the idea that you or your life is a problem that needs to be solved. I'd rather believe everything is unserious, and nothing matters ♡ I don't care !!
I used to feel like this around your age. What has helped me is focusing on my inner world. The more we focus on our inner world the more we can impact our outer world. It starts with you. Then your personal relationships, your community and so forth. We’ve been taught backwards to keep us in a state of worry, panic and exhaustion. The more we take care of ourselves and give away our overflow the bigger impact we can make in this world. My daughter helped me realize this. I’ll be 30 in January and 4 years of practicing this mindset has greatly impacted myself, my family and my community. Your heart is in the right place. Don’t let this 3d reality disturb your peace. - Kweeni ✨
This is exactly what I wrote in my journal as a solution to go through this. I want to focus on me, my world, my stuff, my mental health, and I know it kinda sounds self-centered, but I don’t know what else to do.
Yeah, and I realized that I won't be able to help anyone if I don't help myself first. So, at the end of the day, it really is not 'selfish' to put your own wellbeing first. And even if I will not manage to help anyone, then at least I won't be a source of negativity due to unresolved internal problems 😄
Omg this is exactly where I am. The things I always wanted or dreamt about as a kid I no longer care about. Idc about being super rich etc. I just want to be at peace with whatever I do. I now crave the simple things in life.
I feel this vlog! I had to chill on the self-help advice, books…It’s such an over saturated industry, and it actually became overwhelming for me. I do what’s best for me. I aim to live a much simpler lifestyle. I’ve learned to focus on what really matters to me, and not what’s being propagated.
we’re black and we’re women. we did not fuck up this country or this system. so if we wanna mentally check out for the sake of our wellbeing, we should absolutely be allowed to. i’m with you
Ah, life. A disease inflicted upon us by our parents. I always think upon how I’d have nothing to worry about if I had never been. The cycle has continued for centuries. Just gotta remember we’re experiencing a speck of time in a never ending universe. What seems important now means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I am sensitive but I try not to care so much, as it won’t matter in the end. Seek peace and spread kindness. Don’t take life too seriously. Enjoy the little moments and spend your time doing what you like as much as possible :) loved the video, Lynette!
you basically summed up how i've been living for some time now ❤😌 im currently trying to declutter my social media because i want it to be a space where i can connect, be inspired and enjoy my time. i want it to add to my life instead of take away from it. i feel like when yoy realize that things don't need to be so black and white, it opens up a lot of possibilities
This really shows me that money and stability doesn’t mean you’ll be happy… like there’s always gonna be something to be unsatisfied with and complain about in this world. You’re channel encourages me to not wait till im successful to allow myself to be a joyful person.
YT niece you should see your YT auntie over here enjoying all the simple things that bring me peace. I turned my, I’m done caring button to on at the start of 2024. No news, no politics, etc. I’m decorating my home, decluttering, deep cleaning, reading, enjoying “my shows”, sitting in the sun, and simply all the things that bring me happiness. It is a freak show circus out there!!! Protect your peace ✌🏽❤
Speak on it!!! You had me at the title alone. Definitely feel you on the selling products or starting a business outlook. So very over the overconsumption of it all.
It gets really crazy when you take some time to live outside of America (specifically the United States) and realize it's not that different in other countries. Same clown, different makeup. I learned to focus on what's most important to me, and filter out the rest, as much as possible. Life has gone so much smoother since I stopped trying to stay informed with what society says I should maintain awareness to, and being okay with when that changes with time. 💯
I’m at a point where I’m just doing me the best I can, surrounding myself with those who love me and support me, and praying. It’s wild out here, and all we can do is our best. Thanks for sharing 💕 much love 🦋
This video expresses my thoughts exactly. I’ve stopped watching the news, and I’m trying to reduce my Internet/social media consomption. I’m so fucking tired of this world, but also super grateful for my current life as I live a comfortable life uncomfortably.
I think about this a lot, but I do wonder if social media/us being hyperaware of everything that’s happening is effecting us differently than in the past
@@LynetteAdkinsbeing hypeaware is deteriorating our mental health. If you think about it when you’re a child and you have nothing to worry about you are the most happiest ever because you weren’t aware of anything going on. Now that we’re hyperaware, we see the reality of what’s going on in society and it’s hard to just disregard that when we’re stuck in a corrupt system. It’s really sad and honestly when you’re a woke person it’s 10 times worse. I feel like I’m just going through the motions and I am dreading every day, especially now since all this inflation stuff is going on. as a single person in their early 20s life just feels impossible at the moment.
@@LynetteAdkinsit is important we watch less, say less, and do less. The hyper awareness is definitely contributing to mental issues. If you want to change the World find peace within yourself first and yes this does mean signing off a lot more than most want to accept. Sending you much peace.
@@LynetteAdkins yes, that's why they say "ignorance is bliss" of course it's not bliss when you're actually not ignorant. Being awakend has always been tough, thats why the masses tend to avoid it. ❤
I was struck by your comment about finding something to enjoy every day. These very words were my mother's last advice to me before she passed away at 96: "Find something to enjoy everyday." You figured this out 70 years earlier ❤. My Dad told me on his deathbed that his one regret was that he hadn't taken enough time to "stop and smell the roses" 🎉. He told me to take time in life to smell the roses that he couldn't....so I hope you do the same ❤❤🎉❤❤.
Love this for you! I’m 38 & the older I get. The less I care & it’s actually really empowering. Living in this time is a joke at this point. Keep ur peace ❤️☮️
Girl you’re so relatable and down to earth. I used to care so much but the older I get, the more I realize how much of life is just destiny. So I’m just enjoying the ride at this point
Yes. We are currently the same age & I feel the exact same way. I completely stopped worrying about politics, lifestyles and I’m honestly just a boat ride of living! Like I have no energy to force my self to do things anymore. I get the most comfort from freedom
Im 27, I was just feeling this way!. I'm withdrawn from alot of things because I don't care anymore It gets exhausting like theres never a state of peace in society,
This is why I fwu for all these years bc you just get it👏🏾 watching this video was literally a breath of fresh air, from all the gimmicky unrealistic life that we’re surrounded by.
My apathy is toward these systems and the fake notion of what success is in regards to societal expectations. I have to thank you for making this video, because I 100% feel this as well. I'm taking my power back and living on my terms now. I will be OK, I have done everything I was expected to do and there was no reward other than layoffs, my future being taken away from me, and people dying as a result of sociopaths sitting in empty offices. Its time for us to simply just live, Lynette. We deserve to live.
So real. I went through this motion a while ago. I don’t care,I don’t want to be ‘rich’ I don’t want to be ‘successful’ I just want to love and enjoy the things that keep me alive. As long as I can enjoy food, people water and shelter, I am happy. Life is pretty peaceful now. All I try to focus on the the things that keep me ALIVE and keeping so much gratitude for them - then I thrive 1. Food ( making delicious foods cause I will die without it) 2. Clean water 3. Sleep (sleeping enough or you die) 4. Movement (can’t live without it) 5. Knowledge and wisdom (humans only evolved to this point by digesting it, history philosophy theology) 6. Breathing (can’t survive without just breathing) 7. Connecting & socialising (humans also only evolved to this point of intelligence because of our ability to communicate with eachother , funny that the lack of it will cause our downfall like it is now) this is all I do. No I’m not wildly successful in my career but I’m wildly successful in just existing: I am grateful for that cause I’m happy and have a loving partner to do it with me
@@Ana-gq7ce never can be truly happy as humanity is burdened with suffering. but in a world so chaotic, I try to appreciate the fact I do have access to them to fuel my drive to help others access them rather than fuelling selfish ego driven desires I am encouraged to fulfill by this corrupted system….
When you speak the truth, there will be people who become triggered. It just shows how you are vibrating at a higher frequency than they are. You always manage to post a video about the right topic at the right time.❤
this resonated w/ me. the deep & complex issues i'm aware of within my family depresses me so bad. on top of what is going on in other countries such as palestine... it's so depressing. but also, personally, i can't look away bc i want to be aware. being so aware of everything is so tiring & then i'm unmotivated to think about myself LMAO ugh. all in all, like someone else said, these cycles are rinse & repeat. we're just passing through... live your life for you. all of our paths are different
I felt this. I like to just be and that does wonders for my nervous system. I believe just being will lead you to the path you’re actually meant to take, and not the one your ego created. You then start to realize your purpose was never far out of reach but that your mind was.
As a 33 almost 34 year old woman, this feeling will increase and I just want to enjoy my life and not give a flying f**k When you see how the game is played, you refuse to play along. Once I leave this plane of existence, I don't have to worry about my hypothetical child(ren) living in it. I'm the grand finale my bloodline.
It's not pessimistic or negative. People are programmed to keep society afloat and honestly, thats as damning as having a dead end job. More need to focus on happiness to avoid depression and you doing this is keeping you sane and grounded. Appreciate your authenticity
i feel u on not caring so much. it's exhausting. we can't fight every fight. the world is falling apart. the best we can do is cultivate like-minded communities and live in our version of peace. at least healing ourselves helps to inspire and heal others. that's all i really hope for.
I don’t have any solutions to this besides saying I have felt similar to this at many points in my life - and reading philosophy - mostly Kierkegaard - (Ik he’s a Christian thinker, but great applications for general spirituality or existential thinking too! & there are many other women philosophers that have given me relief as well such as Simone De Beauvoir) - has helped. Sending good energy as you figure out things 💫
Maybe consider volunteering or getting involved in local politics. It might make you feel better to see the direct positive effects of your efforts within your community. You have so many skills and experiences that I’m sure would be an asset to many organizations. Either way, I understand. I feel like there’s a time in our mid twenties when we all deal with these feelings.
I agree with this video but also to your point, volunteering or contributing to something you care about in a crazy world is really powerful! Makes you feel connected to sth greater than yourself and also indirectly helps with mental health!
I think this is a better take than withdrawing completely. Thank you for this suggestion! I agree that getting involved with mutual aid and things happening locally is a way to feel reinvigorated in a world that takes so much from us
I related so much with this. I went through all the stages of hyper focus on everything in this world and I’m still working my way out of the mental and spiritual and physical strain it caused me over the years. Im currently 30 yrs of age & in my era of not caring but also caring at the same time…it’s so weird. You’re awesome for being this bold to speak the truth that many of us probably feel and are too afraid to admit. xoxo
I think that you are at a new level, you read the information needed now it's time to utilize it and enjoy life. You can win some, you can lose some, just do your best and have a pleasurable life. This is why I take breaks off social media because it's soooo overwhelming. I just want to hear myself. 17:45 Facts!
Me enjoying the game of life blowing bubbles in my backyard with my husband, knowing that I see the Creator every time I look in the mirror 👑 You're not alone, I feel this 100%. Keep having fun bird watching & enjoying your life guilt-free ❤
I agree with you. I don’t like how social media has become an echo chamber of aspirations. I had to get off of it too because I don’t care. I don’t want to live the life everyone else is living. But I do care about the impact that I will leave on the world. I want to work to changes that will better the lives of future generations. That I do care about. I care about being strong enough to make a difference just like Martin L King did even if it does cost me my life, it will be worth it for me to stand up for what matters.
Totally resonated and I feel you. It's not like you don't care about humanity or whatever, you're just over getting swept up in the emotions and fear mongering and anxiety producing stuff they throw at us everyday and then tell us to work harder, do more go faster. So I feel you and I think it takes courage to be honest and be you're authentic self and speak genuinely so I appreciate you and your content. Keep up the great work and cheers to not giving a fuck 🥂
this is the first time i've felt like someone has word for word, spoken about what I've been feeling these past few years/months. i see people around me caring and taking things so seriously and I'm just here like ????
I’m a 33 year old man.. and I’m just glad that as an introvert (but trying to be social due to influence) that someone else feels similar to me, let alone the opposite sex. Personally the goal is to go buy some land and get back to the basics in a fundamental way of living. Prayers and positivity to you beautiful 🙏🏼 Follow your instinct and heart.
I related to what you said about keeping up to date with the world news messing up your mental health but also not wanting to be super disconnected and unaware. I think being hyper aware about what is going on in the world can lead to anger and depression but then you are right, you can choose how you want to navigate your life if is not benefitting yourself personally to play the game in the system that is set up.
Tbh i kind of see this mindset u have AS taking life seriously! In a good way! To be so worried about social media and hustle culture and fame and stuff that is not in our human nature.. it’s kind of choosing to entertain the game of life, And not enjoy life itself. - Which IMO is spending time with nature.. spending *quality* time with family.. creating things.. getting out of your phone and having more face to face conversations, or “conversations” longer than 1 min through a reel. I couldn’t agree more with this video girl!
Girl I feel you, I’m 26 as well and I’m kinda going through those same emotions. The problem is obvious : CAPITALISM. We need to reimagine the world ❤ I’ve stoped listening to a lot of youtubers except you and @ayandastood, y’all one of the few that’s talking about deeper level stuff and I was tired of being told that the solution for my problems was to journal. Sending you a lot of love ❤ I wish to meet more girlies like you irl 🙏🏾
OMGGGGGG GIRL THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THAT CHRISTANITY IS THE HIGHEST PROPONET OF CAPITALISM. I talked about this so much in college & wrote papers on this and I used to get SO MUCH hate for bringing this up.
THAT PART!!! like it's so sad to me that a belief system from the middle east became so whitewashed and a proponent of colonization, but like...and i was raised CHARISMATIC caribbean christian, and all that prosperity gospel shit would get me so riled up and irritated. i took a religion reporting class in college when i was getting my degree in journalism and that shifted my mindset SO much. i follow more taoist/animist way of life now, i find so much solace in nature
No literally I feel the SAME exact way rn. Like someone else commented this would be the same 100 years ago. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that life is basically a loop but somehow each go around things get worse??? (Maybe not life but American culture) It has made me super content with my life. Like I’m really taking it day by day. One of your videos really made me so aware of my privilege and it’s really a blessing to be able to sit and contemplate. My income is really not where I’d like it to be but I’m still able to take care of myself, and enjoy myself daily so for that I’m grateful. I’m literally in the same headspace I’m like lemme go outside. Let me read a book. Let me hangout with my mom etc. Im realizing a lot of the things “sold” to us was kinda just how they advertised America to other countries “cities paved with gold.” The shadow to a lot of the “accolades” we are supposed to chase come with a lot of responsibilities that I kinda don’t want. It’s almost giving “suffer with me or suffer from the shame and judgment of not living like me” ALSO ppl on TH-cam shorts seem to be EXTRA triggered.
this is why I have been following you for so long now. I am so grateful that people like you exist in the influencer space and in the wellness/spirituality space. thank you for sharing your perspective and making so many of us feel grounded in this world with it.
it feels like such a luxury to not care. i want to not care but i need to grow up a little bit and find a real job first😭 i aspire to get to this level though- navigating "not caring" while simultaneously navigating stability is such an interesting thing to think about- idk if any of that made sense- love watching your video as always lynette!
girl. i feel the EXACT. SAME. WAY. i'm 26 and my worldview has shifted so much over the last few years. i used to not be friends with people based on who they voted for etc and get all riled up for nothing. i've been off social media a ton & just focusing on myself. i do still wonder how to balance this idea of maintaining my sanity all while still being aware of what's going on// knowing how to help various social causes..
I think that is very difficult to be a young person in this world right now, for real. and from my personal experience, the other generations do not understand that we are young in a totally different world than them occupied when they were young as well. now they think that we are dramatic or something?? I don't know, but I really agree with everything you had said. I am so glad we have a lot of people expanding their consciousness. we really need that. thank you for speaking your mind, you are def not alone. 💟
I recently finished my undergrad and I've been experiencing a lot of the same feelings regarding societal structures and milestones. I completely agree on the constant pressure of monetization in every aspect of our hobbies or pastimes and it is jarring to see consumerism and capitalistic tendencies in EVERY aspect of life. I truly believe in focusing on introspection and true reflection away from materialistic or wordly desires and nourishing your soul to be able to give back to ourselves in form of community, of collectiveness, of setting a precedent of becoming free from any system of oppression. Once we shed their weight, revolution and freedom becomes easier than ever ❤
Girl I could’ve posted this exact video word for word bar for bar. This is such a word. This reality is very very exhausting right now. I just quit my job I had for 4 years after college because my soul was so unhappy. I literally have no backup plan but I knew I couldn’t do that anymore. I probably have to move soon and I haven’t even told my roommates. I just had to press stop on jt all. I’m 27 and may have to go back home for the second time as an adult but I’m grateful that at least have that to return to. I’ve considered starring a business cause I have 0 desire to work for another person. At one point I thought I wanted to do content creation too but then that would just becoming a glorified advertiser for these corporations 😭. There must be an escape from this matrix cause this is insane
I love how you’re talking about both perspectives. It’s so many influencers that aren’t commenting on what’s going on in the world at all. I completely understand your pov of working/getting stuff done and using your platform to inform.
I’m loving your mindset more and more. Keep going in THAT direction. In the direction of alignment with your truth, your higher self, and free of conditioning. And ppl who are offended by not wanting kids, they are not your ppl.❤ It is beautiful to witness your awakening, and remember… it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a sick environment.
Recently got a library card and checked out all the books i used to looovee reading. Trying to interact with my environment instead of drowning in my wishes to leave the city im in. Life is in the everyday, not the longing or imagined future.
I feel the exact same. I started paying attention to politics and world events in 2020. I paid CLOSE attention and then realized everything we think we know is a lie. Was kinda depressed for awhile after that, but I feel like I’m coming to accept it now. And yeah, it kinda feels like I just care way less now bc I know it’s all a joke. I just focus on loving ppl around me and spreading love to those I can
I’ve been feeling this really heavily the past 2 months. I don’t have the motivation to do things that I did a year ago. Work and everything just feels so pointless. I’ve even stopped caring that much about saving every single penny because where is that money going if it’s not getting invested? It’s just sitting there and I still deserve to have my fun, it’s not my fault the economy is trash.
I’ve literally been thinking about all of this recently too! I’m just so tired of chasing all of these little things 😭 your videos are always so comforting because then I don’t feel so alone 🥹💕
I think a happy medium for being politically engaged in an intentional way that doesn't completely destroy mental health is getting involved in your local community. Like mutual aid groups, co-ops, community gardens etc. There's definitely more room for feeling like you have control over making your own community better and helping people, and collectively going through tough shit together and having that connection.
I've been there so many times. For me, connecting with the things I truly enjoy and learning to actually have fun in my day to day has been really helpful. I mean like laughing out loud, consuming or making art forms that make you connect with something more beautiful in any way. It's about finding that child-like feeling of opening one self to see what's fun and what I can enjoy the most right now. Of course the world is a mess and that affects us, even more if you pay attention to being connected. But at the end of the day, you have a right and an obligation to *enjoy* what you enjoy. Claim your right to be happy!
5:55 I was listening to an astrologer talk about how a lot of the “chosen ones” will be learning how to navigate their wealth during a time of strife in the world. Especially since over the time the money and power will be going back to the people. We as the leaders of new earth will help people who are just joining this spiritual path. Continue your videos and influencer work, find new ways to do it that feel authentic to you. You’re changing in front of us, so maybe the content changes too !
i totally agree with this. I don’t take much seriously tbh and my main focused throughout life is just to have fun. Obviously i don’t just sit back and do nothing but knowing that all of this isn’t real life and something out there we’re apart of is so much bigger than my missing my school assignment is just bazar.
Its nice to know I'm not the only one feeing this, because I was literally starting to think something was wrong with me 😭Or maybe it was just me getting older but I feel like I don't have the same fire about things that I used to. I LOVE life but like the nature part of it lol I love peace & simplicity. Everything else feels so artificial & forced. Thank you for this video! 🦋
i never comment but this video right here every word is what i feel like. the fact i am commenting rn is crazy to me but that is how much this spoke to me u are speaking TRUTH
I have so much respect for you for talking about this. I imagine it can be difficult to do so but you’re saying what a lot of us are thinking. Sad to me how hopeless our generation feels. The odds are against us but I still hold out hope that one day things will improve ❤
I never comment on videos but I’ve been extremely emotional the past few weeks as an empath seeing the state of the world, and have been trying to find a balance between staying informed while not burning out watching the news. In addition been waking up to the fact that we get fixated on such superficial things and trying to break the cycle of toxic productivity or the belief that we have to monetize our side hustles. You perfectly expressed everything I was feeling and didn’t know how to put into words in this video ❤️ this was very comforting
I have felt this way for a good year now. After my nephew passed away suddenly back in November I have honestly become very numb. I don’t watch the news now take stuff or drama going that seriously anymore. I feel like I’m just focusing on myself and progressing on the goals I have
I just wanna say I really respect you as someone w a platform for actually speaking on all the crazy stuff happening in our count try rn instead of being dell and only doing gram kinds stuff. ty for being real
I’m a little late but have been wanting to watch this video and you’re absolutely right. I’m 26 too but I just don’t gaf anymore. Like I just want to make money, live life freely and not consume. I recently tapped into just self control/ awareness and basically growing me.
I'm happy you briefly touched on the "you need God" side-eye mentality that people use to invalidate others! It's a huge problem and it's honestly the reason I've disconnected from plenty of communities that aren't even supposed to be based in religion, yet still use it for its functionality. It's frustrating. I resonated deeply with this video. I don't care anymore either-I don't even care about people knowing that I don't care. And I used to care so much about that😆
thank you for this real take. it has reassured a lot of my recent feelings and now i feel motivated to pick myself back up and find those things that bring me joy again. i have been totally disconnected and apathetic recently yet feeling super guilty about it. but just hearing your thoughts has uplifted me and has kicked back the life into me. so i wanted to say thanks for sharing.
Yeah I want to stay up to date with what’s going on in the world because I feel it is important for citizens to be aware of what is going on, but at the same time I feel much better and less stressed when I don’t pay attention to the news. I think what we got to realize is that we ultimately cannot control any of this ourselves but should aim to make a world that is better for the immediate people around us like our friends, family, coworkers, etc
i deal with this with school, so many people keep asking me what i wanna do for college, i can barely get out of bed and i’m just trying to take it day by day atp
Lol same. It literally just hit me that the only reason I'm here is because two people (My parents) had sex and I happened. There is no greater meaning than that.
You uploading this type of videos is SO important!! To share information about what is going on as well! I believe there are soo many people that are starting to realise how the world is and how it is not benefitting them or eventually anybody. There is so much power when people come to gether!! I recommend document "breaking social" for everyone, very motivational about societal change !! Also I feel you so much, my values have completely changed.. Can`t even believe it.
i appreciate you so much for being so real and honest with everything from your position as an influencer. it´s nice seeing others that are also in touch with reality on daily basis
my apologies for the audio being weird! i've figured out the problem so will make sure it doesn't happen again! love y'all & hope you're having an amazing week❤
❤❤❤❤ you too. Thank you for this
Thanks (4 this video) Lynette ❤
girl you're not being pessimistic. society is objectively collectively getting worse in massive proportions and you and me both are tired of it . dont worry about how you come across ! just deliver the message thats been put in your heart. you are welcome to express yourself and your audience will listen
Thank you so much for saying this ❤️ it feels good to share without feeling the need to be positive 24/7
Actually, on most measures the world is improving at an accelerated pace. Poverty is declining, our health is better than ever, the male-female gap in income and education is rapidly closing, gay and trans rights are on the map, we have access to good food, clean water and education, cancer death rates are falling, a decline in working hours and child labour. The list goes on. Not too long ago it was illegal for black and white people to marry each other, in the 70s there were hundreds of terrorist bombings in the US and the violent crime rates were DOUBLE what they are now. People have lived through the plague, war time, slavery. It is not, in fact, objectively collectively getting worse. You can’t fix what is wrong in the world if you don’t have the whole picture. I feel concerned that people seem to be letting the algorithm and 24 hour news cycle that cover every single tragedy affect their hope for the future this much. Expressing a feeling is one thing but I hope you don’t let fear trick you into being passive.
@@kimkenickieThank you so much for making this comment! It really serves as a reminder to zoom out from the doom and gloom ideologies that we all can be guilty of buying into.l
you’re NOT alone! i hear you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your content has helped me so much at times when I felt crazy & has made me realize there’s so much more to the world to see/learn. Thank you so much ❤️
"girl i'm not gonna go sit here and sell you a journal." see, this is why i LOVE YOU. i am LITERALLY in the exact same mindset, i just turned 23 and i've been feeling this way for quite some time. i just wanna read my books, stay out the way and chill the fuck out. i don't have any energy to overexert myself for this stupid system. i already don't fit so many of the boxes they set up; i'm a black and brown mixed person, i'm nonbinary, i don't want kids, i don't want a relationship/to get married, i'm not on social media (besides youtube and pinterest lol) etc. i just want some damn peace. and i'm also heavily empathetic, so i have to limit my news intake, so i get what you were saying about that as well. you literally have a subscriber for lifeeee
Then just do you the only person stopping you from living life the way you want is you ❤
Brooo sameee I’m just a lil younger but literallyyyy😭
honestly don't even limit your news intake if you're highly sensitive, get rid of it completely. You know who you need to vote for, (the lesser of two evils sigh), you don'y need anymore info from the news. Not reading the news at all changed my life for the better
Nooo because I feel the same! I'm tired of caring so much & I have10 yrs on you. I'm so sensitive & empathetic, yet fiery. I've had to unfollow so many platforms/ppl & dissociate.
I’m the exact same way. It can be exhausting. You’re not alone though ❤️
💯
I’ve written and deleted a comment so many times cause i resonate so much with this (especially being the same age as you) and I can’t even articulate just how much I agree with you Lynette but I’ll just leave this: my dad passed away in March. While my siblings and I were cleaning out his apartment, we came across so many precious things that he had held onto for decades - newspaper clippings, beloved ties and t-shirts, Father’s Day cards we had given him as kids. And as we sat there and debated with each other and ourselves about what to keep and what to donate or throw away, I realized that my dad’s life ~materially~ boiled down to just the things in that apartment. But my dad himself was SO FAR BEYOND that apartment. At the end of the day his physical belongings meant nothing. They were precious to us just because of who he was and how amazing of a person he was. Losing my dad has completely changed my outlook on life about what’s important, what to cultivate, what I’ll be remembered for. One day all the clothes I buy, the decor I put up in my house, my car will just be things I’ve left behind. And that’s not to say they don’t matter (my dad LOVED his car haha) but it means I can’t lose sight of what really makes me, me.
Beautifully said. The things that really matter are how we make people feel. That lives on well after we are gone.
Shout out to you dad💜 he’s the one that helped wake you up out this “game”. Lost my uncle who filled multiple shoes in September so I feel you love 💜 makes you focus on what you can leave for your loved ones (morals, videos, love) when it’s our turn to dipset outta this world!
@@boitumelodibetso8719definitely! I don’t remember every single thing my dad said to me or did or bought me but I remember how loved he always made me feel 🩵
@@GoldenBossQueenthank you 🩵 I’m so sorry about your uncle too. Yes morals/lessons especially are so important. Even though people that come into my life in the future will not have met my dad, they will know him through me - stories and just the way I approach the world through the lessons he taught me. May we both keep our loved ones’ memories alive!
I lost my mom in March too. Going through her things as well. My mom loved her home and her decor. What is important to me is that we keep the legacy alive in their memory. Keeping our families together is so important. Focusing on caring for each other. Handing down some of their most cherished treasures and traditions. These distractions out here are just that distractions from what really matters in life.
Condolences to you and your siblings ❤
I turned 25 last month and share the same sentiments. I take none of this seriously anymore. I’m not going to lose my mind and become depressed about what’s happening in the world. I hate that people try to make you feel bad for not jumping behind every social issue or social media trend. Over it. I’m not interested in anyone’s self help journal when a $1 notebook serves the exact same purpose.
I’m in the process of curating my social media feeds to more positivity and less about the matrix. I don’t care about politics or anything else outside of pouring into myself and other people who are like minded.
I know you touched on it very lightly but I'd like to add, continuing self help or self improvement when you've already achieved those goals, just perpetuates the idea that you or your life is a problem that needs to be solved. I'd rather believe everything is unserious, and nothing matters ♡ I don't care !!
Yesss exactly & i noticed the more i harp on self improvement the more difficult it seems, like it doesn't need to be that complicated
I used to feel like this around your age. What has helped me is focusing on my inner world. The more we focus on our inner world the more we can impact our outer world. It starts with you. Then your personal relationships, your community and so forth. We’ve been taught backwards to keep us in a state of worry, panic and exhaustion. The more we take care of ourselves and give away our overflow the bigger impact we can make in this world. My daughter helped me realize this. I’ll be 30 in January and 4 years of practicing this mindset has greatly impacted myself, my family and my community. Your heart is in the right place. Don’t let this 3d reality disturb your peace.

This is exactly what I wrote in my journal as a solution to go through this. I want to focus on me, my world, my stuff, my mental health, and I know it kinda sounds self-centered, but I don’t know what else to do.
Loved your comment ❤ I feel the same too.. the answer is not to not care but to focus on yourself and what you care about.. ways to give out
Yeah, and I realized that I won't be able to help anyone if I don't help myself first. So, at the end of the day, it really is not 'selfish' to put your own wellbeing first. And even if I will not manage to help anyone, then at least I won't be a source of negativity due to unresolved internal problems 😄
Omg this is exactly where I am. The things I always wanted or dreamt about as a kid I no longer care about. Idc about being super rich etc. I just want to be at peace with whatever I do. I now crave the simple things in life.
I feel this vlog! I had to chill on the self-help advice, books…It’s such an over saturated industry, and it actually became overwhelming for me. I do what’s best for me. I aim to live a much simpler lifestyle. I’ve learned to focus on what really matters to me, and not what’s being propagated.
we’re black and we’re women. we did not fuck up this country or this system. so if we wanna mentally check out for the sake of our wellbeing, we should absolutely be allowed to. i’m with you
THIS
Well said 😊
@@mjesns77no
Ah, life. A disease inflicted upon us by our parents. I always think upon how I’d have nothing to worry about if I had never been. The cycle has continued for centuries. Just gotta remember we’re experiencing a speck of time in a never ending universe. What seems important now means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I am sensitive but I try not to care so much, as it won’t matter in the end. Seek peace and spread kindness. Don’t take life too seriously. Enjoy the little moments and spend your time doing what you like as much as possible :) loved the video, Lynette!
loved this comment ❤
This is so true. Thank you for this comment
you basically summed up how i've been living for some time now ❤😌
im currently trying to declutter my social media because i want it to be a space where i can connect, be inspired and enjoy my time. i want it to add to my life instead of take away from it. i feel like when yoy realize that things don't need to be so black and white, it opens up a lot of possibilities
We are changing spiritually. I'm glad that the most high is giving disclosure.
This really shows me that money and stability doesn’t mean you’ll be happy… like there’s always gonna be something to be unsatisfied with and complain about in this world. You’re channel encourages me to not wait till im successful to allow myself to be a joyful person.
YT niece you should see your YT auntie over here enjoying all the simple things that bring me peace. I turned my, I’m done caring button to on at the start of 2024. No news, no politics, etc. I’m decorating my home, decluttering, deep cleaning, reading, enjoying “my shows”, sitting in the sun, and simply all the things that bring me happiness.
It is a freak show circus out there!!!
Protect your peace ✌🏽❤
Speak on it!!! You had me at the title alone. Definitely feel you on the selling products or starting a business outlook. So very over the overconsumption of it all.
I’m 56, feel so lucky I made it this far but you are 💯 right now! It’s not negative, it’s truth!
❤️
It gets really crazy when you take some time to live outside of America (specifically the United States) and realize it's not that different in other countries. Same clown, different makeup. I learned to focus on what's most important to me, and filter out the rest, as much as possible. Life has gone so much smoother since I stopped trying to stay informed with what society says I should maintain awareness to, and being okay with when that changes with time. 💯
FINALLYYY someone speaks on this omfgggg ive felt this way for so long
RIGHT??? like chile i do not CAREEEEEE all of this is FAKEEEEEE
I’m at a point where I’m just doing me the best I can, surrounding myself with those who love me and support me, and praying. It’s wild out here, and all we can do is our best. Thanks for sharing 💕 much love 🦋
This video expresses my thoughts exactly. I’ve stopped watching the news, and I’m trying to reduce my Internet/social media consomption. I’m so fucking tired of this world, but also super grateful for my current life as I live a comfortable life uncomfortably.
There is nothing new happening. You could have made this video 100 years ago, and all would be true. We just pass through. ❤
I think about this a lot, but I do wonder if social media/us being hyperaware of everything that’s happening is effecting us differently than in the past
@@LynetteAdkinsbeing hypeaware is deteriorating our mental health. If you think about it when you’re a child and you have nothing to worry about you are the most happiest ever because you weren’t aware of anything going on. Now that we’re hyperaware, we see the reality of what’s going on in society and it’s hard to just disregard that when we’re stuck in a corrupt system. It’s really sad and honestly when you’re a woke person it’s 10 times worse. I feel like I’m just going through the motions and I am dreading every day, especially now since all this inflation stuff is going on. as a single person in their early 20s life just feels impossible at the moment.
@@LynetteAdkinsit is important we watch less, say less, and do less. The hyper awareness is definitely contributing to mental issues. If you want to change the World find peace within yourself first and yes this does mean signing off a lot more than most want to accept. Sending you much peace.
@@LynetteAdkins yes, that's why they say "ignorance is bliss" of course it's not bliss when you're actually not ignorant. Being awakend has always been tough, thats why the masses tend to avoid it. ❤
@@PlanetUmoja 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was struck by your comment about finding something to enjoy every day. These very words were my mother's last advice to me before she passed away at 96: "Find something to enjoy everyday." You figured this out 70 years earlier ❤. My Dad told me on his deathbed that his one regret was that he hadn't taken enough time to "stop and smell the roses" 🎉. He told me to take time in life to smell the roses that he couldn't....so I hope you do the same ❤❤🎉❤❤.
Love this for you! I’m 38 & the older I get. The less I care & it’s actually really empowering. Living in this time is a joke at this point. Keep ur peace ❤️☮️
It’s sooo empowering/freeing honestly, thank you for giving some hope that things get better with age when you decide to choose peace!
@@LynetteAdkinskeep safe and healthy and keep working out 🏋️♀️ remember mind and body
Girl you’re so relatable and down to earth. I used to care so much but the older I get, the more I realize how much of life is just destiny. So I’m just enjoying the ride at this point
This is literally perfect timing Lynette
Yes. We are currently the same age & I feel the exact same way. I completely stopped worrying about politics, lifestyles and I’m honestly just a boat ride of living! Like I have no energy to force my self to do things anymore. I get the most comfort from freedom
Im 27, I was just feeling this way!. I'm withdrawn from alot of things because I don't care anymore It gets exhausting like theres never a state of peace in society,
This is why I fwu for all these years bc you just get it👏🏾 watching this video was literally a breath of fresh air, from all the gimmicky unrealistic life that we’re surrounded by.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying and feeling, esp the point we don’t need more products sold at us and at the end of the day WE ALL WANT LOVE
My apathy is toward these systems and the fake notion of what success is in regards to societal expectations. I have to thank you for making this video, because I 100% feel this as well. I'm taking my power back and living on my terms now. I will be OK, I have done everything I was expected to do and there was no reward other than layoffs, my future being taken away from me, and people dying as a result of sociopaths sitting in empty offices.
Its time for us to simply just live, Lynette. We deserve to live.
So real. I went through this motion a while ago. I don’t care,I don’t want to be ‘rich’ I don’t want to be ‘successful’ I just want to love and enjoy the things that keep me alive. As long as I can enjoy food, people water and shelter, I am happy. Life is pretty peaceful now.
All I try to focus on the the things that keep me ALIVE and keeping so much gratitude for them - then I thrive
1. Food ( making delicious foods cause I will die without it)
2. Clean water
3. Sleep (sleeping enough or you die)
4. Movement (can’t live without it)
5. Knowledge and wisdom (humans only evolved to this point by digesting it, history philosophy theology)
6. Breathing (can’t survive without just breathing)
7. Connecting & socialising (humans also only evolved to this point of intelligence because of our ability to communicate with eachother , funny that the lack of it will cause our downfall like it is now)
this is all I do. No I’m not wildly successful in my career but I’m wildly successful in just existing: I am grateful for that cause I’m happy and have a loving partner to do it with me
But how can we feel truly happy when other people don't have access to those basic needs such as food and water?
@@Ana-gq7ce never can be truly happy as humanity is burdened with suffering. but in a world so chaotic, I try to appreciate the fact I do have access to them to fuel my drive to help others access them rather than fuelling selfish ego driven desires I am encouraged to fulfill by this corrupted system….
When you speak the truth, there will be people who become triggered. It just shows how you are vibrating at a higher frequency than they are. You always manage to post a video about the right topic at the right time.❤
this resonated w/ me.
the deep & complex issues i'm aware of within my family depresses me so bad. on top of what is going on in other countries such as palestine... it's so depressing. but also, personally, i can't look away bc i want to be aware.
being so aware of everything is so tiring & then i'm unmotivated to think about myself LMAO ugh.
all in all, like someone else said, these cycles are rinse & repeat. we're just passing through... live your life for you. all of our paths are different
I felt this. I like to just be and that does wonders for my nervous system. I believe just being will lead you to the path you’re actually meant to take, and not the one your ego created. You then start to realize your purpose was never far out of reach but that your mind was.
As a 33 almost 34 year old woman, this feeling will increase and I just want to enjoy my life and not give a flying f**k
When you see how the game is played, you refuse to play along. Once I leave this plane of existence, I don't have to worry about my hypothetical child(ren) living in it. I'm the grand finale my bloodline.
I 100% agreee!!! It’s time to get back to ourselves and then choose what we want that’s best for me.
It's not pessimistic or negative. People are programmed to keep society afloat and honestly, thats as damning as having a dead end job. More need to focus on happiness to avoid depression and you doing this is keeping you sane and grounded. Appreciate your authenticity
i feel u on not caring so much. it's exhausting. we can't fight every fight. the world is falling apart. the best we can do is cultivate like-minded communities and live in our version of peace. at least healing ourselves helps to inspire and heal others. that's all i really hope for.
When she said "the capitalism thing and the religion thing go very well together" I got chills. Never really made that connection before. 🤯
I don’t have any solutions to this besides saying I have felt similar to this at many points in my life - and reading philosophy - mostly Kierkegaard - (Ik he’s a Christian thinker, but great applications for general spirituality or existential thinking too! & there are many other women philosophers that have given me relief as well such as Simone De Beauvoir) - has helped. Sending good energy as you figure out things 💫
I truly love watching you. There’s something very comforting in watching you explain my feelings out loud
Maybe consider volunteering or getting involved in local politics. It might make you feel better to see the direct positive effects of your efforts within your community. You have so many skills and experiences that I’m sure would be an asset to many organizations. Either way, I understand. I feel like there’s a time in our mid twenties when we all deal with these feelings.
I agree with this video but also to your point, volunteering or contributing to something you care about in a crazy world is really powerful! Makes you feel connected to sth greater than yourself and also indirectly helps with mental health!
I think this is a better take than withdrawing completely. Thank you for this suggestion! I agree that getting involved with mutual aid and things happening locally is a way to feel reinvigorated in a world that takes so much from us
Who’s we?
I related so much with this. I went through all the stages of hyper focus on everything in this world and I’m still working my way out of the mental and spiritual and physical strain it caused me over the years. Im currently 30 yrs of age & in my era of not caring but also caring at the same time…it’s so weird. You’re awesome for being this bold to speak the truth that many of us probably feel and are too afraid to admit. xoxo
I think that you are at a new level, you read the information needed now it's time to utilize it and enjoy life. You can win some, you can lose some, just do your best and have a pleasurable life. This is why I take breaks off social media because it's soooo overwhelming. I just want to hear myself. 17:45 Facts!
Yesss I agree
Me enjoying the game of life blowing bubbles in my backyard with my husband, knowing that I see the Creator every time I look in the mirror 👑 You're not alone, I feel this 100%. Keep having fun bird watching & enjoying your life guilt-free ❤
I agree with you. I don’t like how social media has become an echo chamber of aspirations. I had to get off of it too because I don’t care. I don’t want to live the life everyone else is living. But I do care about the impact that I will leave on the world. I want to work to changes that will better the lives of future generations. That I do care about. I care about being strong enough to make a difference just like Martin L King did even if it does cost me my life, it will be worth it for me to stand up for what matters.
Totally resonated and I feel you. It's not like you don't care about humanity or whatever, you're just over getting swept up in the emotions and fear mongering and anxiety producing stuff they throw at us everyday and then tell us to work harder, do more go faster. So I feel you and I think it takes courage to be honest and be you're authentic self and speak genuinely so I appreciate you and your content. Keep up the great work and cheers to not giving a fuck 🥂
this is the first time i've felt like someone has word for word, spoken about what I've been feeling these past few years/months. i see people around me caring and taking things so seriously and I'm just here like ????
I’m a 33 year old man.. and I’m just glad that as an introvert (but trying to be social due to influence) that someone else feels similar to me, let alone the opposite sex.
Personally the goal is to go buy some land and get back to the basics in a fundamental way of living.
Prayers and positivity to you beautiful 🙏🏼
Follow your instinct and heart.
she ain’t tell one lie!! I feel this heavy, appreciate your vulnerability 🖤
I related to what you said about keeping up to date with the world news messing up your mental health but also not wanting to be super disconnected and unaware. I think being hyper aware about what is going on in the world can lead to anger and depression but then you are right, you can choose how you want to navigate your life if is not benefitting yourself personally to play the game in the system that is set up.
Tbh i kind of see this mindset u have AS taking life seriously! In a good way! To be so worried about social media and hustle culture and fame and stuff that is not in our human nature.. it’s kind of choosing to entertain the game of life, And not enjoy life itself. - Which IMO is spending time with nature.. spending *quality* time with family.. creating things.. getting out of your phone and having more face to face conversations, or “conversations” longer than 1 min through a reel. I couldn’t agree more with this video girl!
I got you it's always something to improve, it'll never end.Majority of ppl feeling the same way.
Girl I feel you, I’m 26 as well and I’m kinda going through those same emotions. The problem is obvious : CAPITALISM. We need to reimagine the world ❤ I’ve stoped listening to a lot of youtubers except you and @ayandastood, y’all one of the few that’s talking about deeper level stuff and I was tired of being told that the solution for my problems was to journal.
Sending you a lot of love ❤ I wish to meet more girlies like you irl 🙏🏾
OMGGGGGG GIRL THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THAT CHRISTANITY IS THE HIGHEST PROPONET OF CAPITALISM. I talked about this so much in college & wrote papers on this and I used to get SO MUCH hate for bringing this up.
THAT PART!!! like it's so sad to me that a belief system from the middle east became so whitewashed and a proponent of colonization, but like...and i was raised CHARISMATIC caribbean christian, and all that prosperity gospel shit would get me so riled up and irritated. i took a religion reporting class in college when i was getting my degree in journalism and that shifted my mindset SO much. i follow more taoist/animist way of life now, i find so much solace in nature
would you be down to share the papers? because i’m very interested
@@holistichealingbri1605 I’ll have to find them because I wrote those papers for a class back in early 2022
I think I’ve always felt this way. Now over age 50 I’m comfortable in embracing it.
It’s about both. Productivity and fun. You focused so much on the first, it’s time for the latter (:
No literally I feel the SAME exact way rn. Like someone else commented this would be the same 100 years ago. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that life is basically a loop but somehow each go around things get worse??? (Maybe not life but American culture)
It has made me super content with my life. Like I’m really taking it day by day. One of your videos really made me so aware of my privilege and it’s really a blessing to be able to sit and contemplate. My income is really not where I’d like it to be but I’m still able to take care of myself, and enjoy myself daily so for that I’m grateful.
I’m literally in the same headspace I’m like lemme go outside. Let me read a book. Let me hangout with my mom etc.
Im realizing a lot of the things “sold” to us was kinda just how they advertised America to other countries “cities paved with gold.” The shadow to a lot of the “accolades” we are supposed to chase come with a lot of responsibilities that I kinda don’t want. It’s almost giving “suffer with me or suffer from the shame and judgment of not living like me”
ALSO ppl on TH-cam shorts seem to be EXTRA triggered.
this is why I have been following you for so long now. I am so grateful that people like you exist in the influencer space and in the wellness/spirituality space. thank you for sharing your perspective and making so many of us feel grounded in this world with it.
it feels like such a luxury to not care. i want to not care but i need to grow up a little bit and find a real job first😭 i aspire to get to this level though- navigating "not caring" while simultaneously navigating stability is such an interesting thing to think about- idk if any of that made sense- love watching your video as always lynette!
girl. i feel the EXACT. SAME. WAY. i'm 26 and my worldview has shifted so much over the last few years. i used to not be friends with people based on who they voted for etc and get all riled up for nothing. i've been off social media a ton & just focusing on myself. i do still wonder how to balance this idea of maintaining my sanity all while still being aware of what's going on// knowing how to help various social causes..
Your transparency is peace giving!! Thank you for putting your authenticity into these videos 🩵🩵
I think that is very difficult to be a young person in this world right now, for real. and from my personal experience, the other generations do not understand that we are young in a totally different world than them occupied when they were young as well. now they think that we are dramatic or something?? I don't know, but I really agree with everything you had said. I am so glad we have a lot of people expanding their consciousness. we really need that. thank you for speaking your mind, you are def not alone. 💟
I recently finished my undergrad and I've been experiencing a lot of the same feelings regarding societal structures and milestones. I completely agree on the constant pressure of monetization in every aspect of our hobbies or pastimes and it is jarring to see consumerism and capitalistic tendencies in EVERY aspect of life. I truly believe in focusing on introspection and true reflection away from materialistic or wordly desires and nourishing your soul to be able to give back to ourselves in form of community, of collectiveness, of setting a precedent of becoming free from any system of oppression. Once we shed their weight, revolution and freedom becomes easier than ever ❤
Girl I could’ve posted this exact video word for word bar for bar. This is such a word. This reality is very very exhausting right now.
I just quit my job I had for 4 years after college because my soul was so unhappy. I literally have no backup plan but I knew I couldn’t do that anymore. I probably have to move soon and I haven’t even told my roommates. I just had to press stop on jt all.
I’m 27 and may have to go back home for the second time as an adult but I’m grateful that at least have that to return to. I’ve considered starring a business cause I have 0 desire to work for another person. At one point I thought I wanted to do content creation too but then that would just becoming a glorified advertiser for these corporations 😭. There must be an escape from this matrix cause this is insane
This is by far my favorite video from you. Bc wtf r we even doing? a truly authentic and happy life is a deprogrammed 1
I love how you’re talking about both perspectives. It’s so many influencers that aren’t commenting on what’s going on in the world at all. I completely understand your pov of working/getting stuff done and using your platform to inform.
Ahh thank you for all of this! Being feeling a big shift in the way I relate to the world and what you shared resonated a lot.
I’m loving your mindset more and more. Keep going in THAT direction. In the direction of alignment with your truth, your higher self, and free of conditioning. And ppl who are offended by not wanting kids, they are not your ppl.❤ It is beautiful to witness your awakening, and remember… it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a sick environment.
Recently got a library card and checked out all the books i used to looovee reading. Trying to interact with my environment instead of drowning in my wishes to leave the city im in. Life is in the everyday, not the longing or imagined future.
I feel the exact same. I started paying attention to politics and world events in 2020. I paid CLOSE attention and then realized everything we think we know is a lie. Was kinda depressed for awhile after that, but I feel like I’m coming to accept it now. And yeah, it kinda feels like I just care way less now bc I know it’s all a joke. I just focus on loving ppl around me and spreading love to those I can
I’ve been feeling this really heavily the past 2 months. I don’t have the motivation to do things that I did a year ago. Work and everything just feels so pointless. I’ve even stopped caring that much about saving every single penny because where is that money going if it’s not getting invested? It’s just sitting there and I still deserve to have my fun, it’s not my fault the economy is trash.
I’ve literally been thinking about all of this recently too! I’m just so tired of chasing all of these little things 😭 your videos are always so comforting because then I don’t feel so alone 🥹💕
I think a happy medium for being politically engaged in an intentional way that doesn't completely destroy mental health is getting involved in your local community. Like mutual aid groups, co-ops, community gardens etc. There's definitely more room for feeling like you have control over making your own community better and helping people, and collectively going through tough shit together and having that connection.
I've been there so many times. For me, connecting with the things I truly enjoy and learning to actually have fun in my day to day has been really helpful. I mean like laughing out loud, consuming or making art forms that make you connect with something more beautiful in any way. It's about finding that child-like feeling of opening one self to see what's fun and what I can enjoy the most right now.
Of course the world is a mess and that affects us, even more if you pay attention to being connected. But at the end of the day, you have a right and an obligation to *enjoy* what you enjoy. Claim your right to be happy!
People don't get me for not wanting to drive myself crazy. I don't have tiktok, instagram, or Twitter... people always ask me why😂😂
5:55 I was listening to an astrologer talk about how a lot of the “chosen ones” will be learning how to navigate their wealth during a time of strife in the world. Especially since over the time the money and power will be going back to the people. We as the leaders of new earth will help people who are just joining this spiritual path. Continue your videos and influencer work, find new ways to do it that feel authentic to you. You’re changing in front of us, so maybe the content changes too !
You’re TOO real Lynnette, and we love you ❤
i had a dream that we met and then i see that you posted a video today. needed this! tysm 🫶🏼
i totally agree with this. I don’t take much seriously tbh and my main focused throughout life is just to have fun. Obviously i don’t just sit back and do nothing but knowing that all of this isn’t real life and something out there we’re apart of is so much bigger than my missing my school assignment is just bazar.
Its nice to know I'm not the only one feeing this, because I was literally starting to think something was wrong with me 😭Or maybe it was just me getting older but I feel like I don't have the same fire about things that I used to. I LOVE life but like the nature part of it lol I love peace & simplicity. Everything else feels so artificial & forced. Thank you for this video! 🦋
You are very wise. I am 78 years old and it took me 70yrs to learn what you are stating in your video.
i never comment but this video right here every word is what i feel like. the fact i am commenting rn is crazy to me but that is how much this spoke to me u are speaking TRUTH
I have so much respect for you for talking about this. I imagine it can be difficult to do so but you’re saying what a lot of us are thinking. Sad to me how hopeless our generation feels. The odds are against us but I still hold out hope that one day things will improve ❤
I never comment on videos but I’ve been extremely emotional the past few weeks as an empath seeing the state of the world, and have been trying to find a balance between staying informed while not burning out watching the news. In addition been waking up to the fact that we get fixated on such superficial things and trying to break the cycle of toxic productivity or the belief that we have to monetize our side hustles. You perfectly expressed everything I was feeling and didn’t know how to put into words in this video ❤️ this was very comforting
I have felt this way for a good year now. After my nephew passed away suddenly back in November I have honestly become very numb. I don’t watch the news now take stuff or drama going that seriously anymore. I feel like I’m just focusing on myself and progressing on the goals I have
I felt this in my SOUL! Thank you for this video ❤
I just wanna say I really respect you as someone w a platform for actually speaking on all the crazy stuff happening in our count try rn instead of being dell and only doing gram kinds stuff. ty for being real
I really appreciate your content. Thanks for helping me not feel alone ❤
I’m a little late but have been wanting to watch this video and you’re absolutely right. I’m 26 too but I just don’t gaf anymore. Like I just want to make money, live life freely and not consume. I recently tapped into just self control/ awareness and basically growing me.
I'm happy you briefly touched on the "you need God" side-eye mentality that people use to invalidate others! It's a huge problem and it's honestly the reason I've disconnected from plenty of communities that aren't even supposed to be based in religion, yet still use it for its functionality. It's frustrating. I resonated deeply with this video. I don't care anymore either-I don't even care about people knowing that I don't care. And I used to care so much about that😆
thank you for this real take. it has reassured a lot of my recent feelings and now i feel motivated to pick myself back up and find those things that bring me joy again. i have been totally disconnected and apathetic recently yet feeling super guilty about it. but just hearing your thoughts has uplifted me and has kicked back the life into me. so i wanted to say thanks for sharing.
Yeah I want to stay up to date with what’s going on in the world because I feel it is important for citizens to be aware of what is going on, but at the same time I feel much better and less stressed when I don’t pay attention to the news.
I think what we got to realize is that we ultimately cannot control any of this ourselves but should aim to make a world that is better for the immediate people around us like our friends, family, coworkers, etc
i deal with this with school, so many people keep asking me what i wanna do for college, i can barely get out of bed and i’m just trying to take it day by day atp
Sheer state of depression. Buy your self a dog or find a boyfriend
Lol same. It literally just hit me that the only reason I'm here is because two people (My parents) had sex and I happened. There is no greater meaning than that.
I think about this a lot 😭
You uploading this type of videos is SO important!! To share information about what is going on as well! I believe there are soo many people that are starting to realise how the world is and how it is not benefitting them or eventually anybody. There is so much power when people come to gether!! I recommend document "breaking social" for everyone, very motivational about societal change !! Also I feel you so much, my values have completely changed.. Can`t even believe it.
i appreciate you so much for being so real and honest with everything from your position as an influencer. it´s nice seeing others that are also in touch with reality on daily basis
