    As an almost 30 year old, I can honestly say the 20’s aren’t the best years but they’re good, if for nothing more than the fact that the 20’s are all about unlearning everything you’ve ever learned about life and really learning yourself. You figure out every insecurity you’ve ever had was placed on you by someone else, so by the time 30 comes you’re really just living your life for YOU. It’s pretty lit.

    I think we need this kind of videos sometimes, where you can find people that struggle with the same stuff, and learn that we have to be patient and kind. Somebody says that we need to treat and talk to ourselves like how we do with a friend that has a bad time. In that case, we're soft and understanding. Maybe we should try this more often.

    During 2020: my job closed for 6 months, then 2 months after going back to my job I got fired, then that night I was sexually assaulted by a friend of a mutual friend. My parents blamed me because we were all drinking and apparently I asked for it. Knowing my parents blamed me made me attempt suicide. I moved out of my house for a short amount of time and I lived with my best friend. Therapy didn’t help me for shit.
    Now fast forward a few months I got a new job I love and made so many new friends

    I am struggling with A LOT of things. Some stuff personal, educational, religious, family and friends, and just all in all myself. My mental health has never been worse and I am so scared to go back to dark bottom where I couldn’t get out. I use to suffer a lot younger and I only made it through because of a few things I was sure of and now those few things I was so sure of are shaking these times. I am losing a lot right now. I keep losing. But I have been watching your vids since your reactions in your room with your tapestry background and just stuck with you until now. I never really comment a lot. But this video helped me through a lot tonight. I felt so lost and tired. But some of these comments and your words helped me through. Your really did that! It takes a lot to get me back up and you kinda did that with just a vid and some advice that I knew but really needed to hear. THANK YOU AND I MAY NOT KNOW YOU BUT I LOVE YOU FOW WHAT YOUVE DONE AND WHAT YOUVE BEEN DOING AND I HOPE YOU GET BETTER AND BETTER UNTIL YOU GET YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE IN YOUR OWN HANDS WHERE YOU CAN LEARN AND GROW BEAUTIFULLY!🧡🧡 (long rant but I really did appreciate this.

    also y'all, don't underestimate the power of sleep for your mental health. there's apparently a scientific term for when you have no time during the day for yourself (with work, school etc) so you stay up late every night trying to basically reclaim that time, but you end up exhausting yourself and making your mental health worse. so sleep!! (this is @ myself too) when i force myself to sleep at 11 or so instead of staying up i end up feeling so much better its insane

    (commenting as i'm watching so i'm not done) BUT SO TRUE. i'm paying thousands of dollars as a photography student. we had a lighting studio at school, but with covid... we had to buy our own lights and have a "DIY studio" and i just KNOW not everyone had the budget or space in their homes to do that :-/ my professor did the best he could, but it has not been the move to say the least

    I understand you with the quarantine. I have diabetes so I have more risk of dying of corona so I don't leave the house. Maybe just for a walk but I don't see my friends or anything like that. People in my country (Argentina) are going out seeing family, friends, going to bars or partys and I feel really stupid for staying home.
    My best friends get me tho so I am lucky❤️✨
    Love you ash we are here for you always

    See that's the thing, and I hope that it helps someone out, this is not wasted time. I hate when I hear people say "ugh 2020 was such a waste, let's forget about it and start again this new year". That's not how life really works. I'm genuinely an optimistic person even though I struggle a lot with mental health and specifically with thinking that I'm wasting my days away doing nothing or not enjoying life the way "I'm supposed to", and something I've been trying to do this whole past year is not considering this time wasted or erasable. Life happens even if you feel like you're doing nothing. Through the mere act of waking up and doing something with your day, even if you're inside all the time, you're still living, and I know that the difficult part is the piling on of tough times and helplessness but you gotta see it for the way it is. And that's living. You can not like the way it is obviously but it's not wasted time. And with that I'm really a practical person so I just KNOW for a fact that things are gonna change and that things will get better because it's just the way it is. This thought is what helped me to go into therapy when I was 15 and now I'm 19 and still not giving up and stronger than ever.
    I know it's hard but maybe for just a few days try and change your perspective and see how you like and if you feel better. Be there for the people you love and rely on them for comfort because that's what really gets us through rough times like this. Hang on and see that things will be better. Take care y'all

    I think a video on editing would really inspire me to start a TH-cam channel, I really like Ashley’s editing style and I haven’t started my own channel yet but I just feel scared that someone I know might see it and feel some kind of way about me and for a long time I really wanted to do I think I just might...

    This brought me so much comfort you have no idea! My mom passed away in June last year and I have been through the same thing that you said where I have accepted it but I get reminders and get sad again. Also I got laid off in February this year and at 24 years old you're like 'well now what?!' When you said that in your 20's you can be doing so many different things with your life I shouted THANK YOU to my ceiling cause that is what I've been feeling lately and it made me cry a little! So thank you for making this video and I hope you have more mental knot videos. Love you Ashely!!

    Honestly 2020 for me was one of my best years tbh...ik corona was a bs but the rest was very very good to me at least.... so yeah but however what was bad is how instagram/twitter fans/people are so careless/mindless or very rude for no damn reason...also the fact that people in general r so......careless about the virus as well like...wth it's not gone and no one cares anymore like.... 1 more good thing about this whole time tho is as much as I lost alot of friends or I removeds alot of my "friends" ... it got lonely but its healthier but I guess I'm too lonely I guess so yeahh but it's better for sure
