Wooow the thin lines of life and the fact that this day will be someones last day on this planet and why we who will wake up tomorrow should be greatful. Pain is a part of life, suffering is a choice. Knowing our power when we face advercity is the ultimate strength ❤ your an inspiration
You're right, suffering IS a choice. It might take years to heal but not putting in any effort to change your circumstances and letting it define you will create painful, lifelong suffering. We are never responsible for what happens TO us, but we are fully responsible for what we DO with what happens to us. Much love to you my dear ❤
Yes, we often need a life scare moment to remind us of what's most important in life. I'm happy that you're okay and that you pivoted to make space for what matters most.🙏
I remember when this happened to you. It was a few months before I was to leave for my study abroad experience in Brazil. I remember being so scared to go to Brazil after that, but you explained how your experience would not stop you from returning. So I was able to push past my fears and still went. It was one of the best experiences of my life that I almost missed out on. Sending much love to you!
It was a pleasure meeting you today. Glad you survived this. - I survived many near death experiences. My philosophy on it is a simple one, you can’t die until it is your time to go. - Just wasn’t your time. And until that time, you’re super human 💪
The timing is crazy, I remember watching the original video and thought about you after those 7 years and went to RUclips to rewatch the old video and saw you uploaded about it. So wild
New here but i always see you on the language ads ❤ thank you so much for sharing your hardships in life. I know exactly what you mean when you say the trauma doesnt necessarily show itself for a while into the future. I was graped at 13 by a stranger who broke into my house and even though i truly believed i was not affected by it, because my personality was the same, years later, i realized i did NOT want to have secks with anyone, and i was deathly afraid of it. The only time id ever HAD it was when i was 13 and it was the most painful thing id ever ever felt. So only 5 years later did i realize i have some healing to do and even though it didnt affect my immediate life and surroundings and relationships, it made it to where i had the genuine fear that id never be able to get married because id never be able to be brave enough to have secks and give him a child. I thought no one would want me. Well i end up finding my soulmate at 18 years old and immediately i grow aware of my trauma. It took years and years, but i can say that about after 8 years of being together, my secksuality was finally healed prettymuch back to normal. It is so nice to hear someone elses unique and very special, perosnal story. Thank you so much for allowing me to witness your pain and your journey, Jo. Much love sweetheart ❤
Of the tens of billions of people that DNA could code for, we are the minute percent that gets to exist. Those who don’t exist don’t know what they’re missing out on; but we do. Thank you for helping us remember not to take that for granted.
Hi, Jo. I've never been through something remotely like what you have been through, yet I resonated with a lot that you said. You have this way of putting feelings into words that absolutely mesmerizes me. I needed this. Thank you.
Oi Joana, Jo I’m always bumping into you, not in person, but I’ve seen your RUclips video with your partner from the time you guys were in some type of language school long time ago. I’ve seen a couple of those. Then fast forward a few years, I saw the Netflix series, ” The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals” and there you were. And not too long ago I happened to see your video about languages and this one right now. Mas menina, que coisa hein ?! Esse nosso Rio de Janeiro que nós amamos tanto mais com essa violência toda assim não dá. Eu sou do Rio de Janeiro mais moro no The Bronx, NY há muitos anos. Mais que bom que você está aí cheia de vida pra dar e vender. Keep up the good work! Peace
Hey i wanna let you know jesus loves you and has a plan for you and wants you to surrender everything you have to Him. He died a death we did not deserve and sacrificed and shed his blood for us in totality. He wants to reconcile us to the Father. I pray rhe Lord just meets you where you are and strips every legalistic thought and viewpoint of who you were and what you thought you were in Jesus and you have a true identity as a daughter in Christ amen and also be sure to pray and seek Him concerning financial blessing
I remember when you posted about it the first time. I feel you each and every time. Rebirth day.

Every day is the last day for many, many someones across the world. You are absolutely right. ❤
