Hii, I’m Joy! I left my software engineering job in NYC to pursue my crazy big dreams. On this channel, I document the ups and downs of building a startup, reflecting on my 20s, and figuring life out as it happens. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or inspired to start over, this is the right place for you :)

in the pursuit of pursuing anything meaningful, it is inevitable that you feel like a loser. this video captures how i have been feeling for most of this year, and how i have felt throughout my life. if you fail a lot, sometimes it is a sign that you are putting yourself out there a lot, which in the grand scheme of things is probably a good thing. really enjoyed making this video, hope you lik...

This spoke to me! Am in a similar boat in sg as well, happy to connect!
I decided to become a full time content creator after getting laid off in November. I agree that the beginning stages are full of self doubt 😭
Heck yeah! Congrats on the launch! Good vibes with people that you work with is important! Keep it going! :) Cheering for your startup’s continued growth and success!
aww thank you so much!! i appreciate your comments on my vids :")
Wow welcome to Singapore! Didn't know that your co-founder is Singaporean. Will look forward to the day you reach 10k and hear the full story of how y'all met ❤
thank you for being here as always <3 and hope to be able to share soon :)
Well done Joy! This was a really raw video and I resonated so much with it. Your channel is a real blessing to all of us who are courageously operating outside our comfort zones.

congrats on your launch!! And I commend your courage and bravery to continue to show up both on youtube and for your dreams. Very inspiring :')
aww thank you for being here, julie!! :") means a lot
love the insight, openness and passion for what you do! felt your struggles, tough not to compare and i think it's great to let emotions flow. my teacher once told me to enjoy the process, you only get to learn once. you'll make mistakes, have bad days, and poor performances at times, all part of the process. cherish those times while we're young and experiencing new things
thank you for watching aaron :)
Eunice is great! I hope you get to 10k 🙌

The quality of your videos are amazing and the preparation you do for videos is definitely shown, so I'm glad that you've been getting more support <3

Nice video Joy!
thank you!!
Could you do a video sharing more about trading/investing/stocks :) definitely a video on how your going to build other income streams
thanks for watching! i don't rly feel comfortable doing a video about stocks bc i am far from a pro & i feel like there are plenty of better resources that already exist like humphreytalks! but i'll chronicle my attempt to build more "traditional" income streams :)
HAHAHAHA i never noticed u called me!!! BLUR
HAHAHA EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR
you can do it bestieee!

Thanks for your transparency. I'm subbed and will be following along. Good luck on your journey on YT and in the Bay Area!
thank you for watching!! :)
omg are those pink uggs?! love your videos!
adsense should definitely pay more! and yes, it WILL happen, we're rooting for you Joy!!
@@jacquelinedaniellee 😭 love youu jac
Did you think that adsense money would be more/less? Let me know 🌚
I thought it would be more especially for that 128k video.

I think that seems about right! Thank you for sharing this btw. I was curious how adsense worked.
thanks for sharing =)
@@burntoutbaeee thank you for watching!!
Just so that you don't feel too alone, I too don't have any of those things figured out. I want to do exactly what you're doing and so i'll be taking a path very similar to yours, so you're a few steps ahead of me. So, I'm 28 and I don't have much of a "career" right now since I'm wanting to branch out into my own thing, I don't have a boyfriend, I don't know where I belong as yet and to top it off I don't know how to ride a bike (lol)... I'm just here really wanting to pursue my dream to create. Thank you for sharing your journey, it's helpful for people like me :)
omg i barely know how to ride a bike. i love that i am not alone in this haha. thank you for sharing! it really means a lot and makes me feel like i am not posting into the void. good luck for your endeavors this year, i am sure you can do it!
Speaking for us struggling and sensitive souls out there! You've grown a lot, and growth hurts, understanding things a lot more and certain realities. Just have to keep going, whether delusional or not. It's all an experience, try to be happy despite the things that happen, we're all human after all. :)
:") thank youu. and yes, i agree at the end of the day it is an experience!!
Hello from Twitter 👋
hello!!!
Thank you for this new video! I am also experiencing a lot of faliures on my dream pursuing journey! I spent two years jobless to polish my drawing skills to find a full time job at the game industry. I have submitted almost 100 applications but to no avil. Right now, I have a part-time job as an digital drawing tutor. It supports me financially, but also gets rid of half of my time to polish my art porfolio for game companies. But I am still holding on!!! I have been watching your videos for almost a year, they have given me so much encouragement and made me feel like I am not alone! I hope someday I can see both of us succeed!
I love your persistence and determination to succeed! I've quit my job to try to make it a life coach and public speaker, and am rather new along this journey (3rd month thus far). Have been watching Joy ever since I've the intention to quit, I'm sure we will all make it some day 🎉
The game industry is so cool!! Thank you for this comment, it really made my day as well :”) and yes, someday we’ll make it
Gorgeous
thanks for watching!!
I've been unemployed for almost 9 months now 😔 Got so many rejections, it's been eating away at my confidence and I'm just so tired now... I'm yet again waiting for answer to a (another) PhD I applied for, but I just have this nagging feeling I won't be getting it, like all the previous times... It's just really hard recently to cope with. I feel like your worth in other people's eyes decreases to almost nothing when you don't have a job. I feel like the biggest loser in the world at 28F. My friendships are fading ... Never even dated. Chronic illness. I just don't know what to do anymore. Anyway thanks for sharing your struggles, made me feel less alone at least
i feel this, and i hope you're staying healthy. it can feel like forever but i am certain, it isn't forever :))
your videos keep me going i feel the same sending you love 💗
thank you for watching sakshii :") i rly appreciate the sweet comments!!
@@joyfullencounters 💗
the reason I love you content is you share the facts as real as it gets like this is the reality and all the lessons
Great video Joy. Always great to watch your videos 😊
thank you for watching :)
