i came to this realization some years ago: we don't "belong" anywhere. anyone who claims a city or town as "theirs" lacks a sense of self & feels that their identity is tied to their location. don't worry (easier said than done) if you are open to where the wind blows, you'll end up in the right place & time. ♥️
何年かぶりに動画を拝見しました。初めてコメントします！
悩みをシェアして下さってありがとうございます。どんな人にでも悩みはあるんですね〜私から見ればセナさんは自信に満ちていて人生をエンジョイしてるように見えます✨
次から次へと目の前に現れる困難を克服していく過程が人生そのものなのかなと思いました。何年か後に振り返って「あの頃はつまらないことで悩んでいたな〜」と思えればいいですね！
So Mr. Sena I just made a video about this Just yesterday believe it or not and NO I'm not trying to promote myself. I'm 27 and I just feel left out from life. I feel like everyone is constantly living and being happy and I just feel like I'm on the outside watching everyone live. But you know what dude, I think it's the media. Tv, movies, music, are CONSTANTLY showing us(whether intentionally or unconsciously) how life should look like. That's ok you haven't found a job that you like yet, you're 28. I just went back to school and got a degree, but there were a lot of people who were also going back. I went to my local community college and there was an older gentleman who was doing the nursing program. He was over 65 bc he said he was past retirement age. To me that's inspiring. Your life may not look like everyone else's and that's ok. It just means that your authentic self is speaking and trying guide you in the way you should go. I love this video and appreciate you being open. As far as community goes, I genuinely feel too many people only want to befriend people of their own race which isn't bad, but don't close out opportunities to get to know other people outside of it too. Sometimes who you want may not look like you and that's ok. Friends come in all ages races and nationalities. I Love seeing videos like these
Hi Sena! New subscriber here. Your video showed up on my homepage and as someone who just turned 22 this year, I do have similar worries/concerns just like what you've mentioned. Watching this helped me reflect and clear my mind a bit. Thank you so much for sharing your concerns and talking about it. Hopefully things goes well and you'd figure them out, one thing at a time.
It seems to me that you are not a typical japanese, your strength is your command of English, you could exploit that ability in Japan, since I have found not many japanese speak fluently in English.
Many Japanese people with good English just end up working in the tourism industry. Unless you have a lot of skills outside of English you don't bring much to the table.
This was a very fascinating, honest, open and revelatory video from a young searching Japanese. Having had some different jobs in life in five different countries and travelled to 74 countries as well, it was a very interesting piece. I dont live in the country in which I was born, no. I neveer felt comfortable there but do feel so now in Europe and hav been for years but also I miss Asia so much. I go there often and will be back to visit one state next week. Life throws up choices and you have to grab them or it when they come or you may lose the opportunity. But each person will react in their own, unique way,. Thanks, arrigato, Much appeciated 😊😊
your vids are really meditative, and informative etc.
much love,
thank you
Hi, Sena, it was so good to see your video arrive among my notifications this morning. Your "thinking out loud" videos always strike a chord as you find topics that are common to us all, even though we may seldom give voice to them. Thanks for being willing to express your ideas and emotions in this video format. I'm confident you will find the right avenue to pursue. I hope you remain open to serendipity as that, at times, has proved to open doors for me that were least expected. Keep up the good work, all the best for you and Anna! 👍
Almost no one works their dream job. It is a means to afford pursuing your hobbies and living your life. You saying that you don’t have commitment issues because you’ve been going to the gym for 10 years is like me saying I don’t have commitment issues because I have been playing games for 10 years. These are hobbies and things that we enjoy. Jobs are a sacrifice we make to afford them. Just a different perspective. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
Hi Sena - it's always nice to see your video pop up. i've been subscribed forever. 👍🏼 I'm glad to hear you thinking out loud and sharing your concerns with us. They are all valid. As a much older man I remember these concerns but let me tell you they weren't resolved in my 20's. In my early 30's I began to settle in for a long and fruitful career in my dream job which was thousands of miles from my family. i made new friends which have become my "family" here because I don't see my siblings and their families now but maybe once a year if I'm lucky. All the best - everything will work out for you. Please give my best to Anna. Take care, my friend. ✌🏼
Thank you for sharing. Your concerns are somewhat universal. It was great seeing them clearly articulated.
You create the life you want. You do not consume something made for you. You adapt to change. Kids are a great motivator for organizing and enjoying your life. Security has nothing to do with this but your commitment and the commitment of those you invite to your tribe are everything. Meeting other parents will help you qualify committed tribe members.
Boredom is a side effect of mastery, as far as your work is concerned. Moving up in the social hierarchy can be challenging, but rewarding. You just have to decide if it is worth it or not. Financials and family are tricky business indeed. You might have to run the numbers, and see if having a child is feasible/ wise at this time. You can postpone until you get a better job. And hopefully you can find a job that you both enjoy and can see yourself doing long term before you get stuck in a job you hate to support your family. Do your best, and hope for the best. Good luck to you! Take care! And have a great day!
I have come to learn in life that showing my humanity, and often times my vulnerabilities, brings happiness to myself and others. I wish you love and acceptance and, most of all, a sense of belonging.
So true
I only talk about the reality of things, that why i don’t have any friends.
The ultimate happiness you can find only in calm and balanced mind, not outer things and circumstances. So don't give them that much importance. 🙏
Missed you, Sena.
new look of your channel looks amazing!
Sena... you are alive. I have been wondering about when you are going to make another video.
@5:18 what about your family? If you move away, will you miss them? And there is no job on earth that one would enjoy 100%. As long as there is more positive than negative, and you focus on the positive, then it's ok. That's life.
"Where will I live for the rest of my life?" This is a question that never really occured to me. I have friends who've been in the same place for most of their lives - never thought that was odd, but it was never really for me. I've lived in many places - many countries - and am not intending to stay where I am now forever either. When I go to a new place it just takes me two or three days to begin to feel like I've always been there, to settle in and start thinking that it's my place. Maybe that's why the question doesn't concern me much. It isn't like i have a huge investment of time or effort in "belonging" to a place.
I never figured out where I wanted to live at that age either. I moved to a new place and 25+ years later, I'm still here. Just happens.
I can definitely relate!
Many of us want to spend our lives doing things that bring us something other than money, and if you can do that without worrying about money, then that is ideal. That may mean making a contribution or finding enjoyment or satisfaction in some personal accomplishment. It's hard to say. But, the culture in many countries seems to link money with success: That is to say, if you have money, then you must be successful. And if you are successful then you must be happy. And this is where many of us just go wrong. I met a guy who said, "I spent my life working as a surgeon and I never really wanted to do that. I wanted to teach Latin and Greek. And now I feel like I should have followed my dream." He didn't say why he became a surgeon. I suspect it may have been to please someone else, a parent, grandparent, or just seeking approval of others.
Do a brain storming about things you like and don't like in life (places, areas, values etc.) to define what to do. I think it's more philosophical/spritual introspection to have that ll led to the type of life you really want to live, job is just one aspect of it, Gl xD
ドリームジョブも必要ないし、コミットメントも必要ないと思います💡子供はなんでもやっては飽きてっていうサイクルと一緒で、人間は何かをひとつやり抜く様にデザインされてないと思います😂ので、いつでも気楽にリラックスして気が向くまま、な気持ちで、現実にはしっかり対処が個人的にはオススメです🫶🏻
A new video! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Being older, I see no issue with not having one long term job. Change is inevitable. Technology might sideline your career or even eliminate your your specialty, your field may be over saturated, economy may affect job prospects, etc. There are no guarantees in life, including how long you’re alive. Introverts tend to be more introspective and want deeper conversations. But, as an old introvert, I now just let it be. Or, at least I try, lol. I try to not give weight to my thoughts and feelings. Especially negative, complaining ones. I will now stop myself from adding fuel to the fire and let it die down. Of course, it will come back, but nipping it every time it comes up you get into the habit of shutting them down pretty fast. Sorry, now I’m rambling. Just … throw out the rules and really think about how you’d like to live your very short life.
Oh higher cost of living -- this I relate so much.
Ayeeeee New Zealand yay 🎉
You're showing your gf as an illusion to social media like everyone else.
好帅啊！！！！！！！！❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍
I stopped talking to all my friends at 30 because they bitched too much about their problems while I wanted to relax and do activities.
Hi ❤
You marry yet Sena san?
Hello
Do a what i eat in a day/week video 😊

Hi. Are you 96 liner.
😍🥰😍
Forget about Western countries, you won't have the luxury of not working for a year. High cost of living, high crime rates, differential treatments and anti-Asian sentiment everywhere just not a great combination for a stress free life. Plus your gf will most likely get ridiculed/shamed for dating an Asian man. And if you decide to have kids, know that mix race kids often gets bullied especially if they look more Asian.
We often like to fantasize how it nice to live in the west, but the reality is usually pretty disappointing. Travelling might be fun, but living in the west is total different story. Don't be like me looking for the perfect country for many years, only to realize, Asian belongs in Asia. We honestly don't get much respect in the west.
True and not true! Some white Americans/Aussies appreciate Vietnamese boat people in 70s 80s, who assimilated so well into those societies. There are doctors, engineers and lawyers within the first generations. The current Governor of South Australia is one of those Vietnamese boat people. I know what you're talking about as a Viet, who has lived in Australia for more than two decades. There are racists and hate and sometimes violence against Asian communities in Australia. Be that as it may, those are only in minority. Aussies, in general, are quite nice and generous as long as you're respectful. As Taylor Swift sings "Haters gonna hate hate hate".
@@darkphoenix8350 Earning a good income or having a fancy job title doesn't mean Asian men are well respected within the western society.
Anglo-saxons will always have a superiority mindset over you. Even the Australian government is anti Asians, I went to highschool and Uni there, I know how the gov't & local feels about Asians. That's why I left. People are generally nice on the surface, but they don't really see you as a true Aussie and many have a dismissive and condescending attitude. It's hard to feel belonged when there's so much anti Asian sentiment and superiority mindset, even worse, if you are trying to date. Money isn't everything. Sure only a Minority are blatantly racist, but the covert racism really is everywhere. It's just a matter of if you want to see it or not. Plus AU obeys whatever America's political agenda, which is anti-Asians.
Live for Jesus, turn away from your sins, and repent. Jesus is coming back. Give your life to Him, and receive The Holy Spirit and read the Bible
It’s been 2000 years. The dude ain’t coming back 😂
