    With the New Year, a new chapter begins...🌹☁️
    My name is Shayna Klee and I am living my dream life. In many ways it’s a simple life-i live in a tiny appartement, i don’t go to fancy dinners or wear designer things; but every morning i wake up feeling so alive because i know im following my passion.
    It wasn’t always this way. I’ve changes paths more times than i can count, ive fallen on my face, had over 20 jobs, felt like an outsider in a foreign county. But that was all apart of my journey. Maybe my dream life looks nothing like yours, actually im sure it probably doesn't. But I like you have had to face difficult questions in order to get here. I like you have been stuck at a fork in the road, wondering which road to travel on.
    So in light of the new year and beginning a new chapter in 2020 I thought I’d share my perspective on important self doubt questions about confidence and how to follow your dreams over a week in my life. This video could have probably have been many different separate videos, but I really wanted to put it out before 2020 and the New year to give you some sort of motivation and my thoughts on our fears and dreams. You are here for a reason and it is totally possible to live the life you desire and change your life! I never thought when I finished high school and started my journey in to adulthood that a few years later I would be filming myself making art in my appartement in Paris and talking to the internet like this. It's never too late to start over or reset your life for the better!
    I hope you found this calming and it gave you the feeling of being less alone. I really enjoyed filming these art chats and will definitely make it in to a series in 2020. Make sure to stay until the end for the burning ceremony where we let go of our manifestations under the Eiffel Tower for 2020!
    I love you so much, and I will see you in the new year :)

    and I'm very very much a person that likes to live a 'stable' life without veering off the path but then i moved to korea, and then i randomly started youtube, and now I'm here! I totally agree that chronological sense isnt the way to go :)

    • @discogoth
      @discogoth 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Same here! I'm also someone who loves everything, does everything, and feels stressed by the amount of languages and instruments I can't learn, the places I won't visit, the people I won't meet, and the careers I won't have in my lifetime. But as the person above said, just try doing it all. We're so lucky to be alive right now, where we have TH-camrs teaching violin, tailoring, and ballet for free, where you can Google how to get started as a writer and patterns for making clothes and order the perfect fabric off of any number of websites. I'll let you know, as an ex-music major and ballet dancer, you can get a good quality violin for fairly inexpensive off of Craigslist, Marketplace or eBay and ballet shoes are less money than you'd think. Highly recommend watching some videos on the basics and dropping into beginner classes :)

    I feel like an outsider in my hometown. Your channel and Damon Dominique’s really has given me lots of perspective on life. I want to get to this stage if life, in which I’m able to paint and create art freely and stop being such a perfectionist. It’s so exhausting to constantly criticize myself. Being okay with disappointing others.

My manager at work left her partner with 2 kids. And now years later has a new partner who is good for her and she is doing well. Stay strong!! All the best for you and your child. It's never too late. 31 is still so young. My nana is 87 and still living life to the fullest :) there is always hope. Take care. From New Zealand. Xo

    Hm... I don't care for getting personal in YT comments, but hopefully someone reads and resonates with this:
    So this year was my first attempt at a fair chance at perfumery school, but I didn't get in. What made it worse is I knew that I did well, but the timing wasn't right for whatever reason
    Anyway, the rest of the year was full of drama, office politics... the usual BS, but I learned a lot, especially this month. The most important thing I learned is how often I held myself back, mostly by being a perfectionist.
    So many opportunities were lost because I didn't feel ready, didn't have enough information, felt unqualified, felt stubborn, etc. And even though I pride myself on being the calm, analytical one, I realized that, at times, I can be incredibly anxious and terribly hard on myself. So, about halfway through the year, I decided to take the f**k it attitude and just do whatever the hell I wanted. I changed my work hours, started taking classes for leisure, went back to pampering myself and, most importantly, started interacting with the outside world again. So less online time, more real world time.
    There were still road bumps of course, but I'm a happier and more emotionally connected person and am (hopefully) on track to finally getting out of this city.
    Like you said, when one door closes, a window opens. Let's see if this window is somewhere in France.
    Anyway, it's 5 in the morning here. I was woken up by some obnoxious drunk guy revving up his engine outside my building. Maybe that was fate lol I'm going back to sleep, but hopefully someone resonated with this chunk of text.
    Also, the ending song sounds like the Ice Dance track from Edward Scissorhands. Is that your favorite movie?

    I think the universe is really listening to me because I NEEDED this video right now haha. Currently I'm about to start my last semester of community college before I transfer but I am just so confused about what I want to do with my life and how I want to go about my college experience. I'm actually considering not transferring and becoming an au pair just so I can get back to Paris (where I really want to be haha). I might even just stay in France and apply to a university there. I'm only 20 but it feels like my life is going by so quickly that I'm running out of time to do the things that I'm passionate about. :(
    Anyways, Shayna you are such an inspiration to me and I absolutely love your videos and your story and thank you so much for this video because I really needed it!!

J'adore l'image de la fenêtre qui s'ouvre lorsque la porte se ferme, ça m'apporte beaucoup de réconfort.

      Same :) 30 hit me like a wall. I have done so much and yet professionally “accomplished” so little. My success doesn’t fit a traditional definition.
      My in laws give me such a hard time. No one has ever talked down to me like they do. I didn’t think it would phase me, but hateful words just have a tendency to linger and distort reality.
      But! I’m almost 31 and this video has really helped me realize it’s not over yet. I still have plenty of time because Im still willing to keep at it.

    friend,
    2019 has been a very hard year for me. I moved into a small old house on my own which I adored but the summers here get to 120 f degrees and man was I suffering. While living here I lost three pets. One was sick, one was old, and the other was in a very sad accident. It’s been tough losing my little family I haven’t felt happy and let stress out onto my partner. He’s recently broken up with me but after watching your video I feel okay.
    I feel like I’m going to bounce back and be happy. I look forward to watching your videos and seeing you live the best life you can in Paris. It’s so beautiful.

    I was working a stressful job the past couple of months and I’m so happy that it’s over because when I was there I noticed everyone around me seemed to either hate it there or only stayed for the money. I didn’t want to grow old there and put my dreams on a back burner just to remain a corporate slave. I look forward to next year being the year I can finally shut up and go because I’ve outgrown this small island where I live and I want to see new places. The thing you did by burning your manifestations was so cathartic to watch because I also use fire in a meaningful way. When I am plagued with bad thoughts I write them down and let the flame from my candles eat them away. Thank you for being open about your life and sharing your light with us Shay.
    P.S : I feel so personally attacked by comment you made about calculating people’s chronology of success by searching on Wikipedia because I _still_ do it and thought I was the only one hahaha

    Thank you so much for this. Your videos help me to keep going and make me trust in myself. I'm an art student and it's been pretty difficult, I was diagnosed with depression but I also love doing art, learning new techniques, traveling, knowing interesting people and everything, but It's just extremely painful getting out of bed, take a shower, go outside or talk to anybody, but you've made me think that things may not be too bad and that I deserve to enjoy even the littlest moments that life gives us. Keep being yourself, you are a beautiful person and an amazing artist. The best wishes to you. Have a great year, you deserve it. ❤

    so thankful for your videos. I've been watching a few every day during quarantine and you truly inspire me so much. I'm a college student studying business and art and after spending my whole day doing online business school I watch a few of your videos and then i make art for hours until i want to go to bed. I'm back at home and usually i feel so uninspired here so the fact that I'm making so much art is kind of insane and i really have to thank you for being the person who pushed me to get into that routine of constantly creating and finding new ways to appreciate and enjoy my own creativity. my one thing i would want to do if age wasn't a factor is learn an instrument (the electric guitar ideally). I've been wanting to for so long but i never have and you saying this is making me realize that i have the perfect opportunity right now. my brother works a night shift and has an electric guitar in his room that i can start learning. I'm so excited. maybe one day I'll be good enough to write my own music. Anyways, thank you. Finding your channel has changed my life and is keeping me sane

    I am 24. Always dreamed about becomming a dancer. I started a little bit of dancing when i was 15. Throughout the years. I saw younger girls exceeding at dancing so i gave up eventually thinking that i could not be good a it anyway. I was also letting myself get overwelmed by my family issues and drama et my own insecurities. I am from a small island originaly but moved to France since may 2022. After my boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me, i had to learn to be alone and how to love myself. In that process that took several months... I finally healing. Dancing at home everyday for an hour.( well almost everyday.) Thinking about me and what dreams i want to pursue. Also i am probably going back to school in France next year at 25 years old. Thank you soooooo much for your videos. They have really helped me in my process of feeling better without putting too much pressure on me.

Let me just say this to you: It’s never too late, too early, too anything to do what you want to do and to live out your dreams. I applaud you for your bravery to go forth as yourself in a foreign country and live out your passion. I also applaud you encouraging others to do the same. Keep living those dreams of yours. I look forward to your future posts :)

I hope to one day pursue creative pursuits like photography & art. Art especially has always been something i’ve been discouraged from doing long term. So i’ve just been abiding by societal norms the past few years and pursued a ‘stable regular career’. But its time to change & evolve into who I want to be. Thank you for inspiring me!

    Ah, it's so nice to hear these words of wisdom. I'm in a difficult place right now where I don't know what the next step in my career is going to be (I don't have a job lined up for the summer & afterward, and I don't want to go back to the seasonal job I'm doing now...technically not now because the season starts back up in the spring right now I'm unemployed) as well as confronting emotions that I've been suppressing for like years. Logically I know that I'll be okay but sometimes hearing it from someone else is all it takes to help make that shift in mindset.

    I put off coming to Paris for 40 years!!! I am determined to come, but now there are travel restrictions from America to France. I cannot wait any longer. I cry about France. I miss France. Why did I put this off for so long? I forgot who I was, and what I wanted. I guess I was afraid to be me, and to take the risk. I was always thinking of everyone else and what I should be doing. Thank you for the encouragement.

    You know, I think it’s really interesting to go back and watch this spectacular video, especially during this trying moment where we are all stuck home; (p.s this really helped me thank you, and thank you to the people in the comments; seeing such wonderful people persisting to challenge difficult situations gives me hope for my own yucky situation) I am not religious but I think that we are somewhat being tested and I don’t see this as a punishment but rather an opportunity. From what I see, in some ways we have much more time now! To invest ourselves in our hobbies and I believe in this saying that goes, ‘boredom sparks creativity’ I find a lot of truth in that, there’s so much to do. Imagining right now so many people need a video like this, more people have to remind themselves to live in NOW and not the past. I’ve seen so many people who constantly show us that there’s always a way to make something work, yes it’s challenging but the outcome is always worth it :) like Shayna says, that our lifetimes are not limited to one story and that we should see it as an opportunity and not as a situation that guarantees us as ultimate failures!!! Love you all kindred minds :) and stay safe!❤️

    Shayna,
    First of all, thank you so much. This videos that you make are pure gold :)
    I'm 32 years old and age has always been a big obstacle. Just like you, I have definitely done things a bit older than most people and I've taken the attitude of not giving a f*&% and just try. Now, I'm at a cross road in my life because I feel like if I follow my new path, I'm going to have to start over again and financially and age wise it is very scary. This year I've been on a journey of true self discovery, authenticity, and seeking happiness and fulfillment just for me and not for others. It is still a work in progress, but I'm loving my most authentic form way more every day. Negative thoughts still come to mind, but I can now bring myself back to the positve mindset more easily. Life is getting better :)
    Your video spoke to my soul and it was reassuring to know that happiness can be simple if you just choose what your heart really asks for in the present moment. No people pleasing, No expectations, No fear.
    Not going to lie, I'm still confused on what to do. I want to do so many random different things! lol But I will take your advice and just live life and try without fearing failure.
    Thank you sooooo much. And I will definitely be doing the manifestation ritual ^_^
    In buddhist words: May you be happy, May you be healthy, May you be safe, may you live with ease.

    Hey Shayna, I honestly and with the most sincere gratefulness of my heart would like to thank you for this video. I don't think I'm able to express it in a comment, but I connected so much with what you said about not giving up on dreams because of age or whatever, which is something that has always been a private struggle for me. You may not have an idea to what your words did, but be sure they meant a lot to me right now. You are an enlighted person and I admire your talent and plain optimism towards life. I'd love to be around to get to know you personally and have the privilege of having you as a friend, so since I can't, thanks again you for your videos. Have a great new year
