I am 21 and going through such a hard time right now, where everything feels messy, and I'm trying my best to go with the flow and follow my feelings and my instincts, but depressed moments get the best of me. I am so grateful for this video and I'm rewatching it, to let it sink in! Thank you once again, for such an amazing video!
Women's brain is not fully developed until the age of 25 (plus minus, that's what latest research shows). I personally believe this because till the age of around 25 I struggled with so much regarding myself, that I am now (29 years old) so over it and wouldn't let them bother me for even a second. Although life doesn't get any easier as you get older, a more defined personality that develops (is developing all the time actually, but especially in that age) in that time definitely helps with how we view things. We all know that teenage years are tough...but so is early adolescence and nobody really talks about it cause you're already supposed to be adult once you can start drinking alcohol legally. What I'm trying to say is that these early 20s are tough... but it will also pass so keep that in mind. Hope this helped a little bit. :) disclaimer: obviously if you're talking about 'true' psychiatric definition of depression, it's not as easy as I described and should be dealt with professionally.
1. Stop worrying about being perfect - live your life for you, not everyone around you. 2. Stand up for yourself - your voice matters, too. 3. Hiding who you are is not the best way to live your life. Liking both guys and girls will never make you any less of a person. I could go on with things I'd tell my younger self, but I'll stick to those 3.
*I had such a horrible day at school, thank you so much for always making me smile, Ingrid! Please upload as many videos as you can, you're amazing and make me very happy ! i hope i can work hard through my videos and meet you one day ! Who else loves her? :)*
I think I’d have 1,128 things to tell my younger self 😂 thanks for your wisdom and being such a big inspiration to many including myself. Wish I would have started doing what I love a long time ago, but you can’t go backward only forward! So here we are 😊
1: Talk to your peers more, instead of being painfully shy and feeling left out. 2: Just go to Prom, if not you'll always regret it. 3: Write down what's going on more, you'll regret it in a few years, when you can't remember what went on. 4: Just live in the moment, especially the happy ones.
Things I would tell my younger self: 1. Nobody cares if you shave your legs or not. Or rather, they do care, but you shouldn't you you'll learn to not mind it. 2. Good and close friends will come, once you allow yourself to open up and be open about who you are. 3. You are so, so capable of love and closeness. I know it feels like no one ever sticks around and you're always the odd one out, but you won't always be. You will find a best friend who calls you at 1am for a chat, and groups of friends who will laugh at your jokes and enjoy having you around. 4. You are capable of so much happiness, and it will come in the least likely times, but it will fill you like a balloon and last for months at a time, and it is all worth the wait. Thank you for this, Ingrid!
I would tell my younger self, 1. STOP doubting yourself. It’s a waste of time, and you’re so capable. 2. It’s okay to take the time you need to heal; don’t worry about the peer pressure to follow a certain timeline in life. Everything will work out. 3. Nobody cares about those zits on your chin, that your socks don’t match, that your hair is a bit greasy. People are all worrying about themselves, and the way they look, just like you are.
"Being present and willing to learn is better than being perfect" WOW! That one hit home so hard for me today! THANK YOU Ingrid, you always know what to say to make me feel better
I loved this. I am going to jot down a list for myself. One thing I would tell my younger self is that empathy is the only way to eliminate shame. So be vulnerable with people because so many wonderful relationships will come from it.
My favourite quotes: 1. Every problem is just an opportunity in disguise 2. There's always another way, you just haven't thought of it yet They are both so true and I really live by them. xx
That Rilke quote was the cherry on top. Such a beautiful and inspiring video Ingrid. I'd tell my younger self: not to settle, falling in love with the confort zone kills the spirit and makes you bitter. dont do it.
Haven't watched your videos in ages and this is what I came back to. What a great reintroduction to the beautiful Ingrid. You're a genuine gem. You'd be a great mother someday.
loved this video xoxoxoxo What I would tell my younger self: (1) yes it is anxiety and yes you will be able to live through it and still be able to succeed; (2) stop wasting your time over people that are just using you- focus on what you want instead of what you think you want or what you think you should have in your life; (3) realize that at the end of the day, all you need is yourself, so please start building a relationship within yourself instead of finding it outside of you; (4) there's more than one way to live life- open up and educate yourself on things that might be different than you; you'll come to learn about it eventually, but start now, it will be easier on you in the future
1"Being desired wont make you feal better in your body, so change the way you see yourself instead of trying to change the way others see you." 2"Living like there is no tomorow is not cool its destrutive and you will suffer from it, stop runing away"
I love your thought on confidence and arrogance being separated by gratitude!! I’m in a really bad rut the past couple of days, and even your 5 minutes of positivity and realism helps me a lot. Thank you Ingrid ❤️❤️🌈🌈
Sometimes it’s so helpful to hear the things you you already know deep down from someone else. Keep going, no feeling is final. That’s a major inspiration for me at the moment ❤️ Thank you Ingrid, you are wise beyond your years
I feel #22 so much! And here are my three things I would tell my younger self: 1. Don't be afraid of interacting with people and try to think less about what they think about you. If you are curious about someone as a friend or even more, just go and do small talk! 2. Do not think that trying out a study and quit it halfway through is a waste of time. It is rather a time full of new life experiences! 3. Do not cut your hair while being a toddler. Well, just never cut your own hair unless you are qualified to do so.
Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours! "don't let someone else drive the car down the path of your life. Take the keys and drive it yourself." and "Liking girls is totally normal and okay. So let yourself enjoy the butterflies." were my favorites from this. Love you Ingrid!
Just watched this and it was so incredible. To my younger self I would say: You are so awesome and you are on the right path -so quit worrying what other other people think of you!
I can totally feel this. I'm in my mid 20's, I'm 25 now, and so many things you said in this video actually make me cry. They are so true. :'( thanks for this video Ingrid. I've been your follower since always!
Ingrid you're so wise! I've been watching your videos since I was 16 in 2011. You always put a smile on my face :D I'd tell my younger self: don't stress too much, everything will fall into place. Just the way it's suppose to be.
This was so lovely and I will definitely take some things you said with myself through the years.💛 Even though I am still quite young there are few things I would say to slightly younger self. 1. Listen to your body, something is going on and I know the doctors won’t listen but don’t give up the hope. The help will come but it will be a hard journey to recovery. 2. Don’t ever let anyone else define how you feel or how you should look like. You are beautiful and strong. And it’s totally okay to have mixed emotions. 3. People will come and go but that shouldn’t break you down. You will find amazing friends who support you and push you to take chances you are too scared to take.💛
This was totally heartwarming and lovely, Ingrid. I think my main thing I'd tell myself is: it is OK to let toxic relationships go and to allow yourself to move on without regret
Love this Ingrid! A few things I’d tell my younger self: 1) You’re not a failure. Another door is opening with far greater opportunities than any you leave behind. 2) Pay attention to what your mind & body is telling you. 3) Love harder. Be more kind!
I love this! Here are a couple things I’d tell my younger self. 1) It’s ok to feel like you don’t know what your doing with your life. Despite what you think you do actually have your shit together and in reality no path is final. Enjoy the adventure and learning that comes with each day. 2) There is nothing wrong with having anxiety. It’s just a part of who you are and learning to recognize it is the biggest step you’ll take to being able to manage it. When in doubt just breathe.
This video is so nice! I’m 22 and i feel lost. I have so many goals, and many others have achieved what I want, yet to me these goals seem unattainable. I’m still struggling to find my true career path and it seems the rest of my goals are following.. this video was a breath of fresh air! Thank youuu
i absolutely loved this video. 3 Things id tell myself: (1) having lunch alone, not going out to every party and just doing things alone is not sad it makes you a strong person. (2) even friends can be toxic, put yourself first. please eat and take care of yourself. (3) I know youre scared but just do it cause it will bring you so many wonderful things. LOTS OF LOVE INGRID! xxxx
Nice to see that sparkle in your eyes Ingrid! Thanks for sharing this video - I got a little tiny teary in a joyful and relatable way - beautiful advice -💕🙏🏽✨
Thanks for this, Ingrid! Didn't know how much I needed these pieces of advise until I heard it 💕 One of the quotes that keep me going on most days is something from a Filipino philosopher in my uni, it translates "Don't ask if it is difficult, ask if it is worthwhile" 😊
This video reminds me of the quote I have in my room: "Be the person you needed when you were younger." I wish I could go back to my younger self and give advise but it's impossible. So I try at least to use my "wisdom" for giving advise to people who are younger.
I admire your honest and strong heart Ingrid :) My advice to my younger Self would be: Understand that you are part of a context. Not everything is your fault or your doing. Being aware of this will not only lighten the pressure on yourself but give you more resources to change what can be changed.
you are everything, (: 1. You are not made up of those words that hurt you or that number on the scale, you are enough. 2.Grow through what you go through 3. Take the time to love yourself before you make room to love others
Favorite quotes in this video: The real magic is saying no. Mean what you say and say what you mean. My favorite quotes: 1. Breathe, simple as inhale and exhale. Everything will be okay. 2. Stop caring what other people think of you, don't be so hard on yourself. 3. When there's a storm; learn to dance in the rain 4. Trust in God and stop dwelling on the past. Thank you SO much for making this video; this inspired me to be a better person. I love you so much Ingrid, you are a shinning light.
Honestly loved this video! Really made me think about a few things before I turned 20 next month!! I would tell my younger self to not compare yourself to others, everyone is different and unique! Hard work will pay off in the end and not everyone will love you but those who do will be there for the ride!❤️❤️❤️
I love watching videos like this! 2 things I'd tell my younger self are 1) you can be more than what they expected of you. 2)you are enough and you are important
I loved this so much ❤❤❤ To my mini-me: "crying is a sign of strength and developing wisdom-not weakness", "you're eternally forgiven", and "you're free" ❤ Little ol' me would've thought I was insane 🤣
1.) know that being yourself is more than okay. No matter what people say, keep going because one day you'll open up more and find that being yourself is in fact, really really freaking awesome and liberating. 2.) just as others mental illness' does not define them, your anxiety does not define you. You are so much more and have the capability to help others one day and show them how wonderful they are too. 3.) don't let others take over your life or change your opinions. You'll start TH-cam one day (and come across bullies) but you kept going and realized that was in fact the right thing to do. Stay strong to who you are and what you want to do in your life. 💕 Another awesome video Ingrid!! Thank you for making these and constantly inspiring me. You don't know how much I appreciate that ❤
Ingrid! I feel like you have so much wisdom to share that you could compile it all into a book!! I always feel like you have a really refreshing and candid take on life. I have a saying called WWID (What would Ingrid do). Keep up the great content!! x
I would tell my younger self that you are more than your grades. That no one is paying as much attention to your body as you are, so stop worrying what people are thinking. And to forget about that boy -- wait for someone who treats you well and wants to be with you. Love this video, Ingrid!! x
"Don't hold onto things that no longer serve you." Currently struggling with this one. Logically, I know it but oh so hard to reconcile my emotions with my brain!
What a magical and inspirational video, Ingrid. Thank you for your raw honesty.. with a side of humour! Hmmm- I would tell my younger self (I am 24) that 1- There is a world for you beyond him. 2- You CAN be successful in school.. and be college rep of your classmates at that! 3- Lastly, don’t let anxiety keep you from missing out any longer- the world is so much fun!
as somebody who was always silenced as a child and ended up being terrified of talking, I would tell my younger self - your voice matters and what you have to say is not weird or stupid, its important and its your right as a human being to be able to express your opinions
I loved this video!! :) you are so wise and inspiring with your optimism and positivity! 3 things I would tell my younger self: Don't stress over the little things Always trust in God Be kind to yourself
Such a nice video idea! It's so cool to see how much you've grown as a person and I always appreciate and value what you have to say on life :) You're such a smart and kind person!
This is awesome. Something I've learned: If you are working towards something and don't see success right away, stick with it! Projects and passions are a marathon, not a sprint. If you stay with your passion, you will look back in a few years and see how far you've come.
Can you please do a video about maturing and loving yourself? I've struggled with loving myself and looking in the mirror sometimes or being put down because I look different. I guess just a life lesson about loving yourself and how you got to know where you stand for yourself.
This video was so perfect! I loved it so much > can you please do a hair tutorial and show some of the products you are using because your hair look bomb girl!
This video is actually so inspiring, I love it so much! Three things I would tell past me are 1) Procrastination is not going to slide in high school 2) Your whole entire life does not have to be planned out 3) Having a B in a class does not mean it's the end of the world
These are great. :) I’ve benefited a lot from ... Hurt people hurt people. Don’t take things personally. Spread love. - and - pull back a little and see the world with the enthusiasm of a child. It actually is that incredible.
I will tell my younger self : 1-You are doing great and thank you for all the decisions that you made so far . 2-thank you for not neglecting your heart feeling and trying with your body and mind to please it . 3- thank you for not giving up with your dreams.
This video is very touching. I believe we never finish to think and rethink about all the things we've done when we were younger. There are so many things I could tell to my younger self ! ;) Have a nice day. (Sorry for my English, I'm not a native.)
I would tell mysl younger self: Never apologise for how you really feel! You feelings are what make you who you are and by apologising for them and trying to ignore them, you are apologising for and trying to ignore the unique and genuine part of yourself ❤
Hi Ingrid your videos are literally the bomb they make my day when they are a little ruff and I want to thank you for that you don’t know but my parents are no longer married anymore when I was 4 and I don’t have the same last name as my mom and that can be really hard and difficult and you help so so much don’t let anyone get to you Words can’t bring you down unless you make it I know you might ever see this but if you do make sure to keep up with the good work
I added this to my favorites and I'll try very hard to keep it in mind because what you said is really so important ! also I feel like being 23 I am at a turning point where living by those advices can help me SO MUCH ...anyway THANK YOU
“You can be humble while also feeling qualified and deserving.” 🙌 “Money is nice, but integrity is better.” ✨
SO GOOD.
*i make funny videos like ingrid i genuinely hope they make you laugh and put a smile on your face ! :)*
Caylie and Tim Most important *Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior sincerely*
"keep going no feeling is final" wow i love that 😌
Serendipity + hard work. Just in case serendipity alone isn't enough 😊
Justine! Would you please do this video, too? Much love from the US.
love it!
This sums up life perfectly!
I second that! :)
“It’s okay to be angry, that means something needs to change. Communicate your needs.” Wow I needed this! Thank you Ingrid!!!
1. Go out more and meet new people.
2. Don’t focus on negative things.
3. Use every opportunity to learn something new
saying “no” is ok
there’s nothing wrong with saying no and don’t feel guilty about it 💕
I am 21 and going through such a hard time right now, where everything feels messy, and I'm trying my best to go with the flow and follow my feelings and my instincts, but depressed moments get the best of me. I am so grateful for this video and I'm rewatching it, to let it sink in! Thank you once again, for such an amazing video!
More of Erika 💗
I'm also 21 and feel the same. I could watch this video over and over again.
@more of erica, you hang in there friend... It gets better, i promise!!

I think I’d have 1,128 things to tell my younger self 😂 thanks for your wisdom and being such a big inspiration to many including myself. Wish I would have started doing what I love a long time ago, but you can’t go backward only forward! So here we are 😊
haha same
I just found your channel through Shaaanxo's page! love it!
Rozy Aamski aw that is so nice!
*i make funny videos like ingrid i genuinely hope they put some positivity into your day ! :)*
1: Talk to your peers more, instead of being painfully shy and feeling left out.
2: Just go to Prom, if not you'll always regret it.
3: Write down what's going on more, you'll regret it in a few years, when you can't remember what went on.
4: Just live in the moment, especially the happy ones.
GilmorePotterGleek .... your username is amazing
Sophie Beaven Aw thank you, I made it when I was 12 (I'm 19 now) and it's still pretty relevant, especially the Gilmore and Potter parts.
Things I would tell my younger self:
1. Nobody cares if you shave your legs or not. Or rather, they do care, but you shouldn't you you'll learn to not mind it.
2. Good and close friends will come, once you allow yourself to open up and be open about who you are.

4. You are capable of so much happiness, and it will come in the least likely times, but it will fill you like a balloon and last for months at a time, and it is all worth the wait.
Thank you for this, Ingrid!
wow. thats amazing. thank you xx
love this.
the 100th like is from me, thank u for this!! ✨
@@sux5776 aww! I wrote this three years ago and had completely forgotten until you replied to my comment! thank you✨
so true
so smart
💛💛💛
This is perfect! Have so much respect for all the effort you still put in your videos, especially after all these years ♥️🙏🏼♥️

Can u film more life lesson vids. Ex. Financially, Goals, Dreams when to let it go or hold on to them....something along those lines
MissScribbleHeart Her podcast, Ladies Who Lunch, is really great and has episodes along these lines! I listen to it on sound cloud.
never take things for granted and be true to yourself
loved this video xoxoxoxo What I would tell my younger self: (1) yes it is anxiety and yes you will be able to live through it and still be able to succeed; (2) stop wasting your time over people that are just using you- focus on what you want instead of what you think you want or what you think you should have in your life; (3) realize that at the end of the day, all you need is yourself, so please start building a relationship within yourself instead of finding it outside of you; (4) there's more than one way to live life- open up and educate yourself on things that might be different than you; you'll come to learn about it eventually, but start now, it will be easier on you in the future

1. Don't give up
2. Friends are everything
3. Live YOUR life
I feel #22 so much! And here are my three things I would tell my younger self: 1. Don't be afraid of interacting with people and try to think less about what they think about you. If you are curious about someone as a friend or even more, just go and do small talk! 2. Do not think that trying out a study and quit it halfway through is a waste of time.

I liked it when you said don't let someone else drive the car down the path of your life take the keys and drive it your self love you Ingrid bye.
1. Stand up for yourself
2. Talk about your feelings
3. Believe in yourself
Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours!
"don't let someone else drive the car down the path of your life. Take the keys and drive it yourself." and "Liking girls is totally normal and okay. So let yourself enjoy the butterflies." were my favorites from this. Love you Ingrid!
Just watched this and it was so incredible. To my younger self I would say: You are so awesome and you are on the right path -so quit worrying what other other people think of you!
ahh please make these videos every year, I'm in love
I bursted out in tears when you said give your dad a few more hugs. My heart!!!
I can totally feel this. I'm in my mid 20's, I'm 25 now, and so many things you said in this video actually make me cry. They are so true. :'( thanks for this video Ingrid. I've been your follower since always!
Ingrid you're so wise! I've been watching your videos since I was 16 in 2011. You always put a smile on my face :D
I'd tell my younger self: don't stress too much, everything will fall into place. Just the way it's suppose to be.
Is it ok for me to cry while watching this? I believe that's what I've been needing to hear...thank you! You're so inspiring xx
This is so lovely! I like to do "Me at age ..." videos to kind of incapsulate how I am at said age. Maybe you could also do a me at 28 video? xx
About a movie I love your videos and the 'me at ...' is such a beautiful idea!
This was so lovely and I will definitely take some things you said with myself through the years.💛
Even though I am still quite young there are few things I would say to slightly younger self.
1. Listen to your body, something is going on and I know the doctors won’t listen but don’t give up the hope. The help will come but it will be a hard journey to recovery.
2. Don’t ever let anyone else define how you feel or how you should look like. You are beautiful and strong. And it’s totally okay to have mixed emotions.
3. People will come and go but that shouldn’t break you down. You will find amazing friends who support you and push you to take chances you are too scared to take.💛

(2) even friends can be toxic, put yourself first. please eat and take care of yourself. (3) I know youre scared but just do it cause it will bring you so many wonderful things. LOTS OF LOVE INGRID! xxxx
A few things I've definitely learned is live in the now, don't beat yourself up over your mistakes, and your flaws make you unique 😊
I just learned to let go of 'friends' who didn't want or deserve my time and effort. That can be a really hard step, but you feels so much better
Nice to see that sparkle in your eyes Ingrid! Thanks for sharing this video - I got a little tiny teary in a joyful and relatable way - beautiful advice -💕🙏🏽✨

My advice to my younger Self would be: Understand that you are part of a context. Not everything is your fault or your doing. Being aware of this will not only lighten the pressure on yourself but give you more resources to change what can be changed.
Really needed this Ingrid, thank you so much!
you are everything, (:
1. You are not made up of those words that hurt you or that number on the scale, you are enough.
2.Grow through what you go through
3. Take the time to love yourself before you make room to love others
Favorite quotes in this video:
The real magic is saying no.
Mean what you say and say what you mean.
My favorite quotes:

4. Trust in God and stop dwelling on the past.
Thank you SO much for making this video; this inspired me to be a better person. I love you so much Ingrid, you are a shinning light.
Honestly loved this video! Really made me think about a few things before I turned 20 next month!!
I would tell my younger self to not compare yourself to others, everyone is different and unique! Hard work will pay off in the end and not everyone will love you but those who do will be there for the ride!❤️❤️❤️
I love watching videos like this! 2 things I'd tell my younger self are
1) you can be more than what they expected of you.
2)you are enough and you are important
let yourself feel what u need to feel in the moment...it's my favourite one. so thank you Ingrid
"Keep Going, No Feeling is Final” - Love this
That last quote hit me right in the feels. So good
I've learned that it is so important to love yourself for who you are and not compare yourself or your path to others.
I loved this. I found my way back to my sister by forgiving my mother.
I loved this so much ❤❤❤ To my mini-me: "crying is a sign of strength and developing wisdom-not weakness", "you're eternally forgiven", and "you're free" ❤ Little ol' me would've thought I was insane 🤣
1.) know that being yourself is more than okay. No matter what people say, keep going because one day you'll open up more and find that being yourself is in fact, really really freaking awesome and liberating. 2.) just as others mental illness' does not define them, your anxiety does not define you. You are so much more and have the capability to help others one day and show them how wonderful they are too. 3.) don't let others take over your life or change your opinions. You'll start TH-cam one day (and come across bullies) but you kept going and realized that was in fact the right thing to do. Stay strong to who you are and what you want to do in your life. 💕
Another awesome video Ingrid!! Thank you for making these and constantly inspiring me. You don't know how much I appreciate that ❤
Your voice is so calming it makes me feel relaxed
Ingrid! I feel like you have so much wisdom to share that you could compile it all into a book!! I always feel like you have a really refreshing and candid take on life. I have a saying called WWID (What would Ingrid do). Keep up the great content!! x
I would tell my younger self that you are more than your grades. That no one is paying as much attention to your body as you are, so stop worrying what people are thinking. And to forget about that boy -- wait for someone who treats you well and wants to be with you.
Love this video, Ingrid!! x
someone will always be there for you
don't ever give up
"Don't hold onto things that no longer serve you." Currently struggling with this one. Logically, I know it but oh so hard to reconcile my emotions with my brain!
What a magical and inspirational video, Ingrid. Thank you for your raw honesty.. with a side of humour! Hmmm- I would tell my younger self (I am 24) that
1- There is a world for you beyond him.
2- You CAN be successful in school.. and be college rep of your classmates at that!
3- Lastly, don’t let anxiety keep you from missing out any longer- the world is so much fun!
Be grateful for the family in your life and don't take them for granted and appreciate what they do for you.
#10 is strategically the appropriate number for that v meaningful and exact piece of advice. I love you, Ingrid!
WOW! Ingrid, thank you for sharing these - each of these 28 things are beautiful and each of them are universal.
Wow Ingrid! I nearly cried because all of this is so true! I would also tell my younger self: you will be okay!
as somebody who was always silenced as a child and ended up being terrified of talking, I would tell my younger self - your voice matters and what you have to say is not weird or stupid, its important and its your right as a human being to be able to express your opinions
I loved this video!! :) you are so wise and inspiring with your optimism and positivity!
3 things I would tell my younger self:
Don't stress over the little things
Always trust in God
Be kind to yourself
I shed a lil tear. 😢 I needed to hear these things. Thanks. 😘
Such a nice video idea! It's so cool to see how much you've grown as a person and I always appreciate and value what you have to say on life :) You're such a smart and kind person!
This is awesome.
Something I've learned:
If you are working towards something and don't see success right away, stick with it! Projects and passions are a marathon, not a sprint. If you stay with your passion, you will look back in a few years and see how far you've come.
Can you please do a video about maturing and loving yourself? I've struggled with loving myself and looking in the mirror sometimes or being put down because I look different.
I guess just a life lesson about loving yourself and how you got to know where you stand for yourself.
Tell people they are important to you and you love them. Often
This video was so perfect! I loved it so much > can you please do a hair tutorial and show some of the products you are using because your hair look bomb girl!
Everything will be okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end 💜
people change, situations change, perspectives change, so things really do get better. that s something I would surely say.
This video is actually so inspiring, I love it so much! Three things I would tell past me are
1) Procrastination is not going to slide in high school
2) Your whole entire life does not have to be planned out
3) Having a B in a class does not mean it's the end of the world
One of the most felt "likes" I have ever given. You are a sensitive and sweet person!
You're so wise for your age.
I’d tell my younger self to stop being so worried about others people opinions and start to love myself because omg self love save lives!!!💛
I loved these points! I didn't expect most of them which means I still have a lot to learn 😂😂😂
Thank you sooo much. Love you Ingrid!!!
✨A smile can change the world.✨
For me: Friendship takes effort, but the effort is always so worth it
Live each moment to its fullest, tomorrow is never promised.
Love yourself...your whole self
Don't listen to the negativity, be positive
Fight for what you believe in
These are great. :)
I’ve benefited a lot from ...
Hurt people hurt people. Don’t take things personally. Spread love. - and - pull back a little and see the world with the enthusiasm of a child. It actually is that incredible.
I will tell my younger self :
1-You are doing great and thank you for all the decisions that you made so far .
2-thank you for not neglecting your heart feeling and trying with your body and mind to please it .
3- thank you for not giving up with your dreams.
This video is very touching. I believe we never finish to think and rethink about all the things we've done when we were younger. There are so many things I could tell to my younger self ! ;) Have a nice day. (Sorry for my English, I'm not a native.)
I would tell mysl younger self: Never apologise for how you really feel! You feelings are what make you who you are and by apologising for them and trying to ignore them, you are apologising for and trying to ignore the unique and genuine part of yourself ❤
Hi Ingrid your videos are literally the bomb they make my day when they are a little ruff and I want to thank you for that you don’t know but my parents are no longer married anymore when I was 4 and I don’t have the same last name as my mom and that can be really hard and difficult and you help so so much don’t let anyone get to you Words can’t bring you down unless you make it I know you might ever see this but if you do make sure to keep up with the good work
Liked before watching, love the positive energy you always bring in your videos xx
I added this to my favorites and I'll try very hard to keep it in mind because what you said is really so important ! also I feel like being 23 I am at a turning point where living by those advices can help me SO MUCH ...anyway THANK YOU
Well, I'll keep this on repeat for the rest of my life! You have the best advices!
