  • thank you for journeying with me through my 20s in this one :). I've always felt resistant growing older but now when I look back at the lessons life have gifted me, I'm starting to feel more and more grounded in the fact that it's not a bad thing at all, and why it's impossible to be behind in life!
    though I acknowledge my privilege of exploration, I hope you can take away the main key message that we shouldn't be comparing our life to anyone else's. I'm thankful for all the alchemized wisdom from my past experiments, and for you to witness this new chapter of my life :") happy last year of my 20s to me~
    by the way PLEASE WATCH TILL THE END HAHAHAH promise you you won't regret it... love y'all!

    I feel sometimes people just need to give themself permission to make the changes in their life that they've been thinking about. You truly are free to change your path at any moment, and it makes life so exciting. Wonderful video, I have no doubt you will make it on youtube as well. In a sea of noise, it's like hearing an old favorite song. That quality and warmness to it will never go out of style.
    & Happy Birthday!

    This was lovely. I myself am in this season as a 30 year old and I've never really just let myself say, "This is okay." I'm always stressed about making money after growing up in poverty and recently found myself out of a job after being incredibly mentally ill for the past few years. I have a degree I'm not using and I'm genuinely kept up at night (it's literally 3 AM right now) stressing about money, finding a spouse, a place to live, finding my calling, etc. Feeling behind is second nature at this point, but I like the way you spun it. We are so finite in an infinite universe, so who's to say I am too late or too early to find who I am supposed to be? Maybe, I am right on time.

      Time is a construct, stay present write and read your goal everyday in a planner and the steps you are gonna take every to reach it. Plan your days, and it won’t feel so chaotic and out of control. And we give ourselves the timeline, it doesn’t exist. And have no expectations just take things as they come, best advice I can give. Also get out of the “worst case scenario” mentality. Life just infolds around us, the stress comes from our lack of control, just let life happen, sometimes it will be bad and you learn the most from those moments. And when it’s good, take time to appreciate it in the moment.

    I just turned 30 two and a half weeks ago. I was depressed when comparing my life to my peers. They all were ahead of me financially and I felt as though I was being left behind. After a solid week of feeling terrible I came to the conclusion that if I am not happy with where I am at, I am the only one who can change it. I have decided to make positive changes in my life and to be proud of who I am. I am glad to see that I am not alone in this and hope anyone that reads this knows that too. Enjoy life every second you can, if you don't like where it's heading only you can change it.

    it wasnt until I was at my lowest at 26, that I finally allowed myself to just exist. Even though I was the saddest I had ever been, I didnt care what anyone thought of me anymore. I didn't have anything else to lose. Funny enough, that was when things actually started working for me. My career started to shine, regardless of whatever attention I got. Because I finally understood that there was nothing else in the world more important than what was inside my own brain on the morning of each and every single day. In those small moments. In those pieces of silence that let me just.. be. Reducing the scope of your world, will also reduce all the pressure and failure. It makes all the small things doable.

I went to college because it was what I felt I had to do, and changed careers 5 times in my 20’s trying to find personal fulfillment. Despite the corporate mentality telling me that I’m “behind” I wouldn’t trade my journey for the world!

    I'm also 29 this year and feel like life is getting more gray every year. I'm letting go of all my hopes and dreams and all that other nonsense that holds us back and rather just letting myself not care about me and my identity anymore and just enjoying life and doing what I love. I think the problem for all of us starts after uni when we have this belief that we need to BE somebody and each year we put more and more pressure on ourselves. This is silly. Let go of the future so you can just appreciate life now. The future and the past are literally only thoughts - why let thoughts devalue your experience. Sometimes there's pain standing in the way of presence, then be present with that pain. everything is temporary, including joy and pain so just be present with everything, that's true appreciation of life.

    I never really understood that uni required so much money just to learn and have life experiences. I always feel like that i couldn’t relate to wanting to go to an uni bc all i wanted is to do art. I can’t justified spending money on something that won’t be all about art. You’re the second person to say that attending uni is like a socio economic ladder or a status in society that you’re worthy of having a higher education. Honestly that makes so much sense and answers to my suspicions on why uni is not all that great.

    I was touched by the last part, that I almost started bawling. When both of my closest friends went to college, I felt behind, lost, as if I was walking in their shadow. I wasn’t given the perfect opportunities or resources to get into college. So I reflected, and reflected and you are absolutely right that everyone’s paths are different. I just needed to be honest with myself, that life isn’t linear as we want it to be. Patience is all I need tho, we will get there eventually.

    • @thelifewithnate
      @thelifewithnate 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That feeling of loss unfortunately compounds when you get older. I find as I am going into my 30s, the friends I once had in college and graduate school all move on with their lives.
      The plus out of all this is the ability to discover new friends wherever you go and move in life. Remember, you are never truly alone even though you may feel that way.

    I thought it was really sweet and it did click for me. I love your style. Usually I watch videos where people talk really fast and usually people not talking fast enough annoys me more than it should, but this video was so well paced! It was just chill, I loved the energy and you took your time to talk and it was a thousand precent worth it just listening. Right now I'm 25 and not doing great so seeing that graph gave me a big chuckle. Subscribed for the good vid and the great talent!!

    This was something I needed to see. I'm just trying to take things slowly and trying to be more growth-oriented than goal-oriented. Since failure to meet those "goals" can potentially cause self-doubt and take power away from yourself (heard that in a TED talk). I'm also on the journey of trying to learn self-love. Glad to see your growing, and I hope the same is with anyone who reads this comment. This video was so wonderfully produced too! Thanks for this!

    Thank you for this lovely video... I wrote out all the crazy adventures and experiences I have had the last decade. I'm 30 this week, I remember my last year taking stock as this year I'm going to find someone, to settled down with. This birthday I am happy and glad to be a cat lady, although recognising I'm lonely. I started nursing school dropped out at 18 as the hospital were mistreating patients due to extreme staff shortages. I cried for a week straight giving up my dream, but couldn't be in that system. I studied horticulture instead, got a severe knee injury mid-programme, my dumb ass started a funded phd programme, the pandemic/ supervisor stress caused me to take a step back, I started working a cleaner in the local hospital mid-pandemic, was moving to being a cna/ hcsw full time (in house pandemic style quickly trained) I was loving it. I've got injured with a back sprain - hypermobility takes a longer recovery, so now I'm trying to finish up the research degree, but am depressed. I did an ikigaki test, I love being around people, and seeing helping them get better. I think I may take a couple of years working to save up, have a big cycling adventure. Then I will try for a nursing degree whilst working as a hcsw (the government pays for it) or there's a graduate entry school for medicine (which the government pays the last year if you do the first). I'm just trying to work out which is most future proof for joint issues. Dang isn't life difficult, and non-linear!
