I'm struggling at 25, and someone shared with me that this is a hard point in life because we are entering the unknown while grieving our past. I'm glad you opened up to us, you'll find yourself again!
Unsolicited advice: The 20s are hard but you’re evolving and that’s great. Your interests, friends, lovers, jobs, and passions will usually change as you get older. Find something bigger than yourself and try to get out of your head. If that’s church or politics or charity, then pursue it. Waiting for things to come to you will just increase your frustration. Get offline for a bit and (with love) stop focusing on you and focus on something that can use your obvious strengths. Get busy and serve other people or things. You’re in a great position to help others/causes you support while maintaining your lifestyle. I hope you find relief soon. Xoxo, a 50 year old.
Your videos make people feel better also when you are being "negative" and sharing your struggles because it helps us see that you are human too, it helps us feel less alone. it helps us feel more connected to you. I think that is pretty positive. I am really struggling in life right now as well, I can't let go of the past and the future scares me but I am also not enjoying the present because I feel stuck & stagnant. I just want to escape this. It's such a relief to know that even though such times can feel lonely, I am not alone.
I also feel that Renee's vulnerability unites us (the youtube community) and we pick 'Ney up, shake her and tell her "HEY, STOP IT! ✋🏼you are smart, you are beautiful, you are loved, you are a Fricking human! So just take your time with things, we'll be here to support you" 😂 I love this Channel so much 💔
I could not say it better Babli, I feel the same, and we are not alone my sweet friend!! We are all going to make it!!! Kisses to you and all this community and Renee!!!
i literally just turned 27 and feel the exact same way... the pandemic made life feel so miserable and useless. I graduated in 2020, and fell into a pit of confusion and existential crisis. I used to be so goal oriented and driven. Now I'm like whats the point? what is my goal? should i have any? so weird... Anyway, sorry you're going through it to, but so happy you are open about talking about it. Makes me feel much less alone
GIRL I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THINGS. I am 26. Graduated college 4 years ago. Got the job I went to college for. What now???? I am so glad you made this video because I have been struggling with this but haven’t been able to put it into words. I’ve always been one to work hard and pursue the next step in life, but I have no idea what I actually want in life now which is driving me crazy. I believe this is a perfectionist struggle. I think we need to try to go easy on ourselves and understand this is a weird stage in our lives and we’ve also been going through a pandemic which does not help at all. As a perfectionist it’s hard to accept this, but sometimes it’s okay to not be pursuing/working on something, and simply focus on the small things that make you happy (reading, yoga, walks, time with friends/family, whatever makes you happy). Hearing your struggle and reading these comments is comforting knowing I’m not alone in this. Sending love to everyone struggling with these things right now 🤍
I feel similarly about having trouble meeting people due to lack of depth. Hearing you vent doesn’t get me down; it makes me feel that depth that we lack in day-to-day conversations! :)
Girl legit for real thank you for making this video 🙏🏻 I’ve been feeling the EXACT same way, esp related to my own channel. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve outgrown my old self, old beliefs, old channel style, etc and the reason I feel unmotivated & down is because I’m still trying to follow those old beliefs. Time to LET GO and renew🤍
Wow, so much of this feels like you picked my brain. Been feeling the exact same, I’m almost 26 and have been feeling so stagnant-after college it’s like you have nothing you’re working towards, and you want to work towards something but cannot figure out what the hell you want to work towards, constantly back and forth about what type of life you want, spend so much time worrying about it that you end up not doing anything to change it. It’s such a cycle.
I’m 47 and for the past 5 years have been going through this exact same thing. My daughter is 23 and has been since she is 20. I believe that we are all just waking up to the idea of what being a human living is suppose to be like, and this is not it. I live in Vancouver moved to the ocean and I am doing small things that bring me joy. Don’t have really any friends either. Maybe one day it will all come to the surface and we will really see what life is. 😎
Talking about what you’re going through isn’t negative and can also allow some of your viewers to be able to relate and not feel alone. I feel like i’m exactly at the same stage in life (just moved back to my hometown from New York). Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s nice to hear someone say things I have also been going through!
❤️Baby girl… maybe you need Austin.. a dog .. and a yard?.. or maybe some place that matches that sweatshirt….cause if the flower isn’t blooming we don’t yell at the flower …we change the soil.. sending love and light. You got this🔥🦄.🙏🏼
You should try doing some group activities in the city with people who aren’t influencers/work in social media. Join an adult kickball league, a book club, a church, an adult gymnastics class, etc. There are so many opportunities to meet people whose lives don’t revolve around social media. Yes a lot of people are focused on social media and their appearance, but a lot of people aren’t. If you join activities like the ones I mentioned, you’ll meet people who are just trying to have a good time. I think it’s also important to be aware that the world was always a scary negative place for a lot of people. Minorities, people of certain religious faiths, etc. have always lived in fear and anxiety about the world/people around them. It’s just that it’s finally being talked about loudly and those who were able to be blissfully unaware of it are being forced to realize how messed up the world is and has always been.
Renee, I can relate to everything you’ve said so much. I’m 22 and just graduated college, and I should be happy and excited about my future but instead I’m terrified. I feel like all my life there’s been something new to look forward to, like starting high school, then moving out, then starting college, etc, but now when I think about the future all I can think of is that I’ll work for the next 45 years and that’s it. And it feels so stagnant and scares me so much. On top of it I feel that I missed out on some of the best years of my life due to Covid… I could’ve spent the past year studying at college in person, going to parties with friends, traveling with friends, going on vacation etc, and I know I shouldn’t even think about these “could have” scenarios, but it pisses me off a lot that this summer is my last summer as a carefree student, and I feel that it’s wasted, just like last summer. And I know I should be grateful, and despite what I’ve just described, I actually do feel grateful and am aware there’s a lot for me to be grateful for, but still there’s a lot of anger, frustration, as well as anxiety and worry in me as well. I think it’s just life and adulthood, it’s always challenging but especially so during a global pandemic. I’m not sure what the solution is for feeling better, I’m trying to figure it out for myself as well, but I know it will get better because it always does. 🤞🏼
We’re fighting for authenticity. Authenticity is the most beautiful thing because it takes alot of courage and confidence. And its also very refreshing to others when they meet someone who is authentically themselves, no facades, no pretense. Just genuine. I follow you because of how genuine you are. Even if you sway a little bit because of social media pressures, you always go back to your authentic self. You will lead a fulfilling life because of it. It may not seem like it now but you will eventually see the fruit of simply being genuine
I really missed your videos. Thank you for being so open about everything. I feel the same. Getting older is really hard and I have no idea what I want. Loved how you edited the end.
wait totally relate to what you’re saying, it helps me if i step back and instead make small attainable goals day to day. sometimes looking at the long term future can be so overwhelming, and i feel like what you want will change over the years! focus on what you can do now, in this moment. hope this helps a little❤️
Can definitely relate to this, thank you for putting it out there ❤ I appreciate that you don't try to pretend everything is perfect and actually talk about how you're feeling even when it's hard. This is why you're my favorite channel to watch 😊
I feel the exact same way.. lost of creativity & motivation and what's next in my life- and I'm 30! Social media can be so exhausting. I agree 100% about society today and how everyone seems so superficial.. keep focusing on you and what you enjoy most. Your videos are something I look forward to every week! So good to see you're back, I absolutely love your content Renee!
I’m so glad to see you again! I was honestly worried but I’m happy to see you’re good! Life is a challenging thing, I suffer with anxiety and OCD too but what I’ve learned with this experience is that we just have to keep rolling with the punches, learn from everything that comes your way. Keep your head up love 💗
Renee, you're not alone in having anxiety after covid starting. I've experienced the same thing. Most people who have some depth to them are struggling. Also, a lot of ppl are struggling but put on a mask to hide it. Many people were brought up to only show their "better" side instead of being authentic. You are a great person. Life has its ups and downs. Thank you for being authentic. You are connecting with a lot of people in a world of virtual lies.
I completely relate. The lack of depth in friendships is so hard and leaves me feeling empty. Know that even if what you’re talking about is “negative” it still leaves people feeling good because we know we aren’t alone. Welcome back :)
I could relate to everything you said even tho I'm in a very different phase of life and life situation. Feeling lost , and not feeling that enthusiasm about the future like I did before. Before I could just dream and believe it would come true. But everything feels so unpredictable now that Its hard to have faith in myself or my dreams. That inturn makes me not want to commit to anything ,leaving me even more confused and lost. Hope we all can gain back our grip on reality and rediscover who we are in this new world.
I literally feel like your videos are a part of my daily routine. It was weird without you posting but so glad you're back! Focus on you, girl! Do what brings you joy. I am thankful for your pure experiences, and I love that you share them with us!! You are so appreciated!!
This is one of my favourite videos - love the honesty. We are tuning in for YOU and your story, whatever that may be or look like. Also, you don’t give yourself enough credit for all that you have achieved in terms of your career & RUclips 🙌🏻💗
Thank you SO much for this Renee. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I couldn't agree more with everything you said, it's crazy. I could have listened to you for 5 more hours no joke. I love your way of thinking and I feel less alone ! Sending virtual hugs from Europe to you my dear and to anyone who feels the same way xxxxx
Someone went to the pool with her kids, brought floaters and stuff, she just took a few pictures with her kids then left and called it a pool day online. She wasn’t even enjoying being at the pool
Literally felt so emotional watching this, purely just from realising that someone else feels the way I do. It’s so overwhelming and such a hard thing to explain to others, the feeling of not wanting to let go of the past, and being scared of the future, feeling stagnated with no idea where to go, having no enthusiasm for the future, not being able to dream any more and feeling like the world is superficial and disconnected. I had hoped that I would feel better after COVID, but I’m the same, I actually feel worse, life feels empty now. So please don’t feel bad or that you are being negative, the world desperately needs more people like you, real people willing to talk about how they are genuinely feeling, wanting to cut through the crap and have real meaningful conversations and purpose in the world that gives them fulfilment. Sending lots of love 💗
Love that you are so honest and love reading all the comments on this video. You have built such a great community, keep doing you! I’m 25 and have been feeling all those things - I deleted my insta last October and haven’t looked back! I’m coming more to terms with this phase of ‘transition’ I guess you can call it - finding who we really are and what’s the next stage for our lives - something I’m trying to turn into a thing to look forward to. Peace and love x
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and struggles. I can definitely relate to what you are saying about anxiety and entering a new world being scared and resisting the changes caused by the pandemic. I still haven't found a way to cope with it but I do my best every day. Hope you find peace of mind and that everything turns out great for you. ❤
Renee- I am so thankful for you sharing this today! You have no idea how relatable this is in every way. While everyone has gone through their own trauma dealing with this past year, I know we’re all dealing with our own difficulties in life on top of it all- and it. is. so. incredibly. hard. But I just want you to know that you are NOT alone in this AT ALL. I think finding our own pieces of happiness again is a constant battle but I know we’re all growing as we navigate each day of life. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing your life online. Being able to relate to someone through a screen is so hard but you do it so well by just simply being you. Here’s to better days ahead and everything in between. Being a human is hard. Sending you lots of love!
I love your channel and I will always cheer you on Renee! you are so resourceful and uplifting! I love your productive and planning type videos... thanks for coming back! in my life- my husband is dealing with chronic back pain with no real answers; I pray we get new news in an appt on Tuesday! wish us luck!~
Don’t underestimate the role of grief in a funk like this. It took me several years after my parents passed to feel grounded again. That was without moving away from my home & friends and dealing with the collective grief of a worldwide pandemic. You’re doing amazing.
You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont think I would be able to do it if Im in your place, so I am envying you with the patience and courage that you have!
Thank you so much for being too genuine and vulnerable to share this experience with us!💜 It’s absolutely relatable! Am in my 25 and going on 26 in two months, I often find myself lost in either ruminating over things that had already happened or overthinking the future. It’s literally a life-paralysis state, taking into account the society pressure on us. . Like even when you are fully aligned with your core values and pushing yourself to remain present, someone will come, intruding, asking you questions that may trigger many insecurities, that you yourself are trying to deal with...
Thank you for making this video. I felt like I was hearing someone else say my thoughts. I hope it gets better for you, you are not alone. Sending you all the positive vibes 💕
I relate to this soo much. Just like everyone else said. It makes us feel like we’re not alone and everything that you see online, Instagram , Facebook is so glamorized. Lately I’ve been searching in myself for a more minimalistic lifestyle. It’s been a work in progress. Also I’ve missed your videos. Glad you’re back ! 😊
I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for sharing things that resonate with so many of us, and you have no idea how much it helps. I don't have many friends who can understand what it's to be actually stuck with life and be faking out without showing it so much, and knowing that such a big influence like you lives that too makes everything easier. Thank you and keep taking care of you and your mental health, we are all together in this!
Thank you for posting this, Renee. I can 110% relate to everything you said about how superficial and fake our world has become. I also decided to quit social media about a year and a half ago and it has made the world of difference in my mental and spiritual health. The last year or so has been super challenging and has brought with it so many changes in the world…but just know that you’ll get through this period of uncertainty! You’ve got sooo many more things left to accomplish :)
Thank you for making this video, I think we have all felt like this at some point. I see my adult daughter struggle with so much of this as well. Renee, I have missed you and I am so thankful to see you posted.
I'm feeling the exact same way at the moment. I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping me to process my feelings too. We will get through this. Sending you so much love
Renee this is why I love you. You've always been so authentic since I started watching your videos in 2017. Don't feel guilty, your feelings are always valid!
Ahhh came back after watching to comment that my heart goes out to you! I totally relate with those surface level relationships, I just wish all your true friends could come give you a big hug and tell you to your face that we are here for all the rants/troubles/hard days etc. that come with being human, growing and living! Life is not always easy, it’s the hard times that make us evolve, grow and become better versions of ourselves. I love seeing your intro and outro update 🥰 very old school Ney. Here for all the good and bad moments girl! ❤️
Your videos make me feel so much better. The tough times are hard but we will get through them and things will get easier. Always here to listen and I’m sure quite a few people will agree with me there. So good to have you back 🥰
hey, I have seen so much growth from you over the past year. I completely feel you on the connections with people. Most of the time I can let work and school fill that void, but sometimes that need for real human connection bleeds through. I miss just laying down and doing nothing all day but talking. I hope you are able to find a place that makes you feel both safe and liberated. Thank you for being vulnerable and opening up a dialogue for this time in our lifetime. I wish you the best.
thank you so much for sharing this, I’m in the exact same place! This past year has been really hard and though my introverted self loved being at home and taking up a hobby on youtube, I feel like the world has become very scary and negative. When you stare at the same 4 walls and screens all day it’s very easy to forget the beauty of the world and life and I’m longing to just do something - anything - again. I’m turning 25 in two weeks and I feel like this is just a mid-20s thing no one ever told us about - seeing everyone from high school buying houses, getting married and on their third kid and those things are nothing close to what I want any time soon, and yet I let myself compare myself to them? It’s really weird. So thank you for sharing that we’re not alone 🥲
Missed you Renee! I like when you do these sit down videos because I find them so relatable. I've struggled with mental health and I think every adult has doubts about their career from time to time (myself included).
I can relate to these struggles a lot. A lot of people are feeling the same way right now and it is okay to talk about it and vent because it makes us all feel better and connected during these difficult times and it's nice to know you're not alone. We will get through this!
This is more relatable than you know! I have been doing my best to focus on my personal values, and make choices that get me closer to them rather then further away. All we can do is our best. Thanks for sharing and giving us vulnerability and depth!
Such a raw beautiful video, it was extremely relatable and inspiring actually.. it inspires me to accept where i'm at and enjoy the simplicity of life :) Thank you for being who you are
You are so so so right, Renée. It's really sad the way that people try to "connect" now. I love that you're contuining videos without the influence of social media/trends. I'm so excited to see more of you driven by your gut!
I understand completely! You are echoing the thoughts and feelings I am going through now and it makes me feel so validated to hear someone else say it outload. I am so glad you are back because I did notice your absence and I did miss your content. We're gonna make it through these uncomfortable times and I can't wait until then!
Renee - this is why I keep watching you. Because you are authentic, honest and different. I'm so grateful to you for making my life better, because I often turn to your videos in times of pain or distress. I'm 32, but I wish we were friends. The friends you do have, are really lucky and blessed. Thank you for speaking honestly about mental struggles - they need to be talked about more. You inspire me to accept myself for who I am. Sending you love and peace of mind from Ottawa, ON, Canada xx
Hi Renee, with this video you echoed my thoughts exactly. Over the past year I was able to reflect on what's really important in life, and the more I examine today's society, the more disappointed and cynical I get. I recently moved to the East coast and life is very different here, and when you couple that with how loud the online world is, it can be very overwhelming. However, there is something very special with going your own way and taking value in truly important, non-materialistic things. Take pride in the fact that you refuse to conform to what society is pushing on you! Embrace this feeling, because it truly is special and needed in today's world :)
I love your videos a lot, therefore im excited to that you are back. And you can always rant about what you're feeling and what's going on in your life to us. * Sends hearts *
So happy to see you’re okay. I was worried about you. Always here to listen to you. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you my friend. Again so happy to see you’re okay.
I’m 36 & I feel like life is only just now beginning for me & I’m getting my niche in life figured out & somewhat together. Emphasis on somewhat ... barely lol. Thanks for being genuine. The online world needs genuine people. You’re an asset. You also aren’t alone. I felt what you’re feeling all throughout my twenties. Everyone’s timeline is different. Keep searching for what nurtures your soul. You’ll find it, sweet girl!
It's okay to feel lost. It's okay to take the time you need to figure out what you want in life. We all have those moments. I think it's important to talk about these moments and not feel like we need to hide them from the world. It's normal - thus it should be normalized. Thanks for sharing your story and your journey!
Hi Renee, so happy you’re back. I had been waiting 😂 I felt EXACTLY how you’re describing when I was around 26 and feel this again now I am 32. We’re here for you. Idk the solution but we are here 🙂
Missed you, Renee! So much of what you said resonated so much. I'm 36 and I feel the same way. I began feeling this way pretty much a year before the pandemic. Life suddenly felt so meaningless. Everyone around me was busy busy busy and constantly in the productivity grind and obsessed with showcasing a perfect aesthetic life on Insta. And nothing felt genuine. But I realized I define how I want to live my life and that I don't have to play by mainstream rules or whatever is trendy or what people are doing. So currently in the process of figuring out what that looks like and means for me. So glad you're going to focus on what makes you happy and what feels good for you. I follow you for how authentic you and your content are. Thank you for always keeping it real and for being vulnerable with us. And thank you for sharing your journey with us 💕🤗
I'm glad you're back! Thanks for keeping it real. I feel like the world right now is very crazy, and it's been hard for me to keep moving on with my goals and stuff. A couple months ago I lost motivation and excitement for small things that made me happy and it lead me to a dark place (I've been depressed before) so I tried to listen to my body and let myself feel whatever emotion I needed to feel, and not judging myself for things I haven't accomplish like the rest of the people my age (29). I'm about to be 30 and the crisis is real!
I missed you! I feel exactly the same way as you are describing that you are feeling. Especially when you are in to self development and spirituality that ”face” become so shallow and you want to make deeper connections. I also find it very hard to connect with other people and I just turned 30 a couple of months ago. I’m so happy that you don’t feel the need to put on that ”face” and I’m looking forward to see where life takes you being your authentic you ❤️
I feel you need to get a life outside of RUclips and the whole social media. I mean a source of income outside this world. And keep posting content just 'cause you like the process. ✨ I feel you're pressurized since this is also your career and obviously you're anxious about it.
I think that too! I find it hard to find something else lol .. like what else do I want??! Its tough to find interests at this point .. especially in the career field *pulls out hair*
i was going to say the same thing. I think, Renee, that you can try different thing, like, go back to teaching kids, become a barista, start an arts course, idk, just reeeally try to explore thinks outside of social media. XO from Brasil
@@ReneeAmberg yeahhh I understand. I guess I would suggest to just start with something. If you hate it, leave it. If you like it, voila! Just start with something.
Sorry to hear you feel so down. My thoughts as a mom in her late 40’s. Working from home and for yourself can become so routine, even the most introverted of us get bored. Are there any new interests you’d like to pursue? Art, music, skill, language etc? You are financially independent, is there anything you are passionate about and would like to go back to college for? Not for a career, for personal growth. Part time work? Volumteering, charity work? One of the best way to feel fullfilled is to help others. You were teaching online, could you volunteer and help kids in underprivileged NY areas with their homework? Consider suburbia. It gets a bad rep but if the city is too much, it’s a good compromise. When possible again, would you like to do more travel? US or world wide? So many places to see! You don’t mention your relationship. Have you got any plans or goals as a couple? Moving, starting a family etc, have a look at your situation and see how you move forward as a couple. When you get to 50, that sense of mortality becomes more real and palpable. It is horrible scary. You realise you only have 20, 30 years left, honesly it drives you nuts and you have to fight your own self very hard to not think and get depressed about it daily. It’s not all about amition, productivity, money, achieving more more more. There is nothing wrong with life being simple and stagnant, enjoying simple things in life. If the issue is getting bored, fill your life with helping others, growing as a person emotionally and intellectually.
I’ve been having a really tough time since fall 2019, so it’s nice to hear people on social media talk openly about struggles. I don’t feel like you’re being negative, you’re being real and it’s so needed in social media.
I'm following your journey for a long while now since you were in Florida. I'm inspired by all the content you share. Thank you for sharing this. I relate to this discussion a lot. I lived the same feeling. I live in a big city too and it's hectic with the characters we have. You are unique and have the urge for more, but in the most simplest form there could be. If you allow me to say - I think you need a change of place to unwind, think, relax away from what you know. You need calmness. I loved this video, that's why I'm talking as if it's not through the virtual world. Think about taking time off In a new place. Moving away helps you gain clarity on what you want in life. All the best to you, always.
It's so great to see you back, actually, I've been in a hard time recently. After graduating from college, I just feel so tired and lonely. I'm really happy and inspired by this video after sleeping for more than 7 hours from this afternoon. I just wanna say thank you for your back.
I'm 41 and still trying to find myself. Take ur time. No rush. Just do U. That's all we want. I feel u 💯 on the world right now. Can't wait for more videos. U are a true inspiration for me. Namaste!!!!
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that i share a lot off the same feelings and it really helps when you hear someone else going through the same things. So thank you for sharing. Also i’m looking forward to all the coming video’s!!❤️
I’ve been watching your channel for just over a year now and I’ve been loving all the content you’ve been putting out. What you spoke about in this video literally spoke to my soul because I’ve been in the exact same funk since the beginning of this year. It’s been such a strange place of no motivation, general anxiety and I actually realised that I’ve become more fearful in general which I think is all influenced by the pandemic and what’s going on in the world. I’m also 26 about to turn 27 and I agree, it is such a weird age! A lot of my friends are getting on with life and having babies and buying houses or getting married, and I’m just trying to figure out what makes me truly happy. I’m also questioning the place where I live because I find that it doesn’t make me feel great, yet I don’t know where else I’d rather be so that brings a lot of confusion and frustration. I’ve been worried for most of this year that I’m the only one going through something like this, that maybe I’m ungrateful and that I should just get on with life. But when you’re not satisfied with some aspects or you feel a bit stuck (I felt very “congested” for most of it) it’s so hard to just “put on a brave face” and carry on. If anything, I think it’s so amazing that you’re speaking about this because we’re not robots and all of our lives have changed massively over the past year so we can’t expect ourselves to immediately adapt to this new and different way of living. I’m sure you will figure things out, it may just take a little bit of time. Sending lots of good energy your way!
I can relate to you in this video with a lot of topics you talked about .. just continue being yourself & take it one day at a time.. we & people will love you for YOU 💞.. So glad to see that you are coming back 😘
You always inspire me. I am 8 years older than you. And I used to feel lost.... But is there when you find the way to come back to you, to what you really want, we need to get lost to find ourselves. Trust it, it's real. All the answers are inside us, we just have to learn to see them. Thank you for sharing, thank you for being you!
This vid is amazing cuz I am dealing with exactly the same issue as you. I just realized that trying to have some time to feel liberty was the key for me. I was so bored staying here in my home ground that I took a week off from everything, went to the city and studied what I've been meaning to do. I had no idea it would make a whole change in my mental statement!
I'm struggling at 25, and someone shared with me that this is a hard point in life because we are entering the unknown while grieving our past. I'm glad you opened up to us, you'll find yourself again!
Wow that part!
Unsolicited advice: The 20s are hard but you’re evolving and that’s great. Your interests, friends, lovers, jobs, and passions will usually change as you get older. Find something bigger than yourself and try to get out of your head. If that’s church or politics or charity, then pursue it. Waiting for things to come to you will just increase your frustration. Get offline for a bit and (with love) stop focusing on you and focus on something that can use your obvious strengths. Get busy and serve other people or things. You’re in a great position to help others/causes you support while maintaining your lifestyle. I hope you find relief soon. Xoxo, a 50 year old.
This is bomb advice. 💣
thank you!
So very true
Your videos make people feel better also when you are being "negative" and sharing your struggles because it helps us see that you are human too, it helps us feel less alone. it helps us feel more connected to you. I think that is pretty positive. I am really struggling in life right now as well, I can't let go of the past and the future scares me but I am also not enjoying the present because I feel stuck & stagnant. I just want to escape this. It's such a relief to know that even though such times can feel lonely, I am not alone.
omg you said it perfectly!
Same
This is me100%
I also feel that Renee's vulnerability unites us (the youtube community) and we pick 'Ney up, shake her and tell her "HEY, STOP IT! ✋🏼you are smart, you are beautiful, you are loved, you are a Fricking human! So just take your time with things, we'll be here to support you" 😂 I love this Channel so much 💔
I could not say it better Babli, I feel the same, and we are not alone my sweet friend!! We are all going to make it!!! Kisses to you and all this community and Renee!!!
i literally just turned 27 and feel the exact same way... the pandemic made life feel so miserable and useless. I graduated in 2020, and fell into a pit of confusion and existential crisis. I used to be so goal oriented and driven. Now I'm like whats the point? what is my goal? should i have any? so weird... Anyway, sorry you're going through it to, but so happy you are open about talking about it. Makes me feel much less alone
GIRL I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THINGS. I am 26. Graduated college 4 years ago. Got the job I went to college for. What now???? I am so glad you made this video because I have been struggling with this but haven’t been able to put it into words. I’ve always been one to work hard and pursue the next step in life, but I have no idea what I actually want in life now which is driving me crazy. I believe this is a perfectionist struggle. I think we need to try to go easy on ourselves and understand this is a weird stage in our lives and we’ve also been going through a pandemic which does not help at all. As a perfectionist it’s hard to accept this, but sometimes it’s okay to not be pursuing/working on something, and simply focus on the small things that make you happy (reading, yoga, walks, time with friends/family, whatever makes you happy). Hearing your struggle and reading these comments is comforting knowing I’m not alone in this. Sending love to everyone struggling with these things right now 🤍
GIRL! me ... "I believe this is a perfectionist struggle"
No one ever talks about how hard your 20s are. People always say it’s the best time of your life but I truly feel like it’s the most challenging
Right on. I'm in my 30s now and don't miss my 20s at all.
true
Agreed
SUCH a weird and erratic age ~~
@@crazychristmas100 saaaaame. I feel like my 20s were a decade-long crisis
I feel similarly about having trouble meeting people due to lack of depth. Hearing you vent doesn’t get me down; it makes me feel that depth that we lack in day-to-day conversations! :)
Right it makes us feel as we are not alone in feeling this way, on the nose sister!
30’s has been my best decade yet. And I am only 3 years in. Try not to stress. Life will all pan out!
I agree, my 30s have been WAY better than my 20s.
ALOT of people are saying this!!
I totally agree ❤️
Same same. For sure!
YESSS! I'm 2 years into 30s and 100% agree!
Girl legit for real thank you for making this video 🙏🏻 I’ve been feeling the EXACT same way, esp related to my own channel. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve outgrown my old self, old beliefs, old channel style, etc and the reason I feel unmotivated & down is because I’m still trying to follow those old beliefs. Time to LET GO and renew🤍
Wow, so much of this feels like you picked my brain. Been feeling the exact same, I’m almost 26 and have been feeling so stagnant-after college it’s like you have nothing you’re working towards, and you want to work towards something but cannot figure out what the hell you want to work towards, constantly back and forth about what type of life you want, spend so much time worrying about it that you end up not doing anything to change it. It’s such a cycle.
I’m 47 and for the past 5 years have been going through this exact same thing. My daughter is 23 and has been since she is 20. I believe that we are all just waking up to the idea of what being a human living is suppose to be like, and this is not it. I live in Vancouver moved to the ocean and I am doing small things that bring me joy. Don’t have really any friends either. Maybe one day it will all come to the surface and we will really see what life is. 😎
You live in heaven. I heard Vancouver is beautiful. Life is about meaningful connections. Thank you Katrina Ann for opening up and sharing.
I have been going round in circles and want to move towards the ocean as well. It's got such a great energy. Just need to find the right town/city.
Talking about what you’re going through isn’t negative and can also allow some of your viewers to be able to relate and not feel alone. I feel like i’m exactly at the same stage in life (just moved back to my hometown from New York). Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s nice to hear someone say things I have also been going through!
❤️Baby girl… maybe you need Austin.. a dog .. and a yard?.. or maybe some place that matches that sweatshirt….cause if the flower isn’t blooming we don’t yell at the flower …we change the soil.. sending love and light. You got this🔥🦄.🙏🏼
Dayan that’s a good saying
You should try doing some group activities in the city with people who aren’t influencers/work in social media. Join an adult kickball league, a book club, a church, an adult gymnastics class, etc. There are so many opportunities to meet people whose lives don’t revolve around social media. Yes a lot of people are focused on social media and their appearance, but a lot of people aren’t. If you join activities like the ones I mentioned, you’ll meet people who are just trying to have a good time.
I think it’s also important to be aware that the world was always a scary negative place for a lot of people. Minorities, people of certain religious faiths, etc. have always lived in fear and anxiety about the world/people around them. It’s just that it’s finally being talked about loudly and those who were able to be blissfully unaware of it are being forced to realize how messed up the world is and has always been.
💯
Renee, I can relate to everything you’ve said so much. I’m 22 and just graduated college, and I should be happy and excited about my future but instead I’m terrified. I feel like all my life there’s been something new to look forward to, like starting high school, then moving out, then starting college, etc, but now when I think about the future all I can think of is that I’ll work for the next 45 years and that’s it. And it feels so stagnant and scares me so much. On top of it I feel that I missed out on some of the best years of my life due to Covid… I could’ve spent the past year studying at college in person, going to parties with friends, traveling with friends, going on vacation etc, and I know I shouldn’t even think about these “could have” scenarios, but it pisses me off a lot that this summer is my last summer as a carefree student, and I feel that it’s wasted, just like last summer. And I know I should be grateful, and despite what I’ve just described, I actually do feel grateful and am aware there’s a lot for me to be grateful for, but still there’s a lot of anger, frustration, as well as anxiety and worry in me as well. I think it’s just life and adulthood, it’s always challenging but especially so during a global pandemic. I’m not sure what the solution is for feeling better, I’m trying to figure it out for myself as well, but I know it will get better because it always does. 🤞🏼
We’re fighting for authenticity. Authenticity is the most beautiful thing because it takes alot of courage and confidence. And its also very refreshing to others when they meet someone who is authentically themselves, no facades, no pretense. Just genuine. I follow you because of how genuine you are. Even if you sway a little bit because of social media pressures, you always go back to your authentic self. You will lead a fulfilling life because of it. It may not seem like it now but you will eventually see the fruit of simply being genuine
You’re the kind of real friend that everyone wants. Do you!
ily ❤️
I really missed your videos.
Thank you for being so open about everything. I feel the same.
Getting older is really hard and I have no idea what I want.
Loved how you edited the end.
I feel EXACTLY the same Ney, you just put the perfect words to explain that, it's such a anxious period in our life ... Love u
love you xoxo
wait totally relate to what you’re saying, it helps me if i step back and instead make small attainable goals day to day. sometimes looking at the long term future can be so overwhelming, and i feel like what you want will change over the years! focus on what you can do now, in this moment. hope this helps a little❤️
Can definitely relate to this, thank you for putting it out there ❤ I appreciate that you don't try to pretend everything is perfect and actually talk about how you're feeling even when it's hard. This is why you're my favorite channel to watch 😊
I feel the exact same way.. lost of creativity & motivation and what's next in my life- and I'm 30! Social media can be so exhausting. I agree 100% about society today and how everyone seems so superficial.. keep focusing on you and what you enjoy most. Your videos are something I look forward to every week! So good to see you're back, I absolutely love your content Renee!
I’m so glad to see you again! I was honestly worried but I’m happy to see you’re good! Life is a challenging thing, I suffer with anxiety and OCD too but what I’ve learned with this experience is that we just have to keep rolling with the punches, learn from everything that comes your way. Keep your head up love 💗
Renee, you're not alone in having anxiety after covid starting. I've experienced the same thing. Most people who have some depth to them are struggling. Also, a lot of ppl are struggling but put on a mask to hide it. Many people were brought up to only show their "better" side instead of being authentic. You are a great person. Life has its ups and downs. Thank you for being authentic. You are connecting with a lot of people in a world of virtual lies.
I completely relate. The lack of depth in friendships is so hard and leaves me feeling empty. Know that even if what you’re talking about is “negative” it still leaves people feeling good because we know we aren’t alone. Welcome back :)
Thank you for making this video, you are so real and I agree with you on this video! I have loved watching you for years ❤️
I could relate to everything you said even tho I'm in a very different phase of life and life situation. Feeling lost , and not feeling that enthusiasm about the future like I did before. Before I could just dream and believe it would come true. But everything feels so unpredictable now that Its hard to have faith in myself or my dreams. That inturn makes me not want to commit to anything ,leaving me even more confused and lost. Hope we all can gain back our grip on reality and rediscover who we are in this new world.
This is so true and relateble! x well said
YES!!! Its SO hard to commit .. I feel like at this point if we do we are making a life shift and we have to stick with it or something lol
I literally feel like your videos are a part of my daily routine. It was weird without you posting but so glad you're back! Focus on you, girl! Do what brings you joy. I am thankful for your pure experiences, and I love that you share them with us!! You are so appreciated!!
This is one of my favourite videos - love the honesty. We are tuning in for YOU and your story, whatever that may be or look like. Also, you don’t give yourself enough credit for all that you have achieved in terms of your career & RUclips 🙌🏻💗
So happy you took the time you needed and I’m so glad to see your beautiful face again! Lots of love 🤍🌼
You just put into words exactly how I feel. Thank you for sharing. Rooting for you❤️💕
I adore you and appreciate you. ❤ So happy to see your face! Thank you for being so open and honest, I know how hard that can be.
The lack of direction and goals is so real. I’ve been struggling with that as well! You’re not alone. Sending you good vibes!!
Thank you SO much for this Renee. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I couldn't agree more with everything you said, it's crazy. I could have listened to you for 5 more hours no joke. I love your way of thinking and I feel less alone ! Sending virtual hugs from Europe to you my dear and to anyone who feels the same way xxxxx
Someone went to the pool with her kids, brought floaters and stuff, she just took a few pictures with her kids then left and called it a pool day online. She wasn’t even enjoying being at the pool
that’s depressing
stfu.
@@ReneeAmberg Ikr!
Literally felt so emotional watching this, purely just from realising that someone else feels the way I do. It’s so overwhelming and such a hard thing to explain to others, the feeling of not wanting to let go of the past, and being scared of the future, feeling stagnated with no idea where to go, having no enthusiasm for the future, not being able to dream any more and feeling like the world is superficial and disconnected. I had hoped that I would feel better after COVID, but I’m the same, I actually feel worse, life feels empty now. So please don’t feel bad or that you are being negative, the world desperately needs more people like you, real people willing to talk about how they are genuinely feeling, wanting to cut through the crap and have real meaningful conversations and purpose in the world that gives them fulfilment. Sending lots of love 💗
Love that you are so honest and love reading all the comments on this video. You have built such a great community, keep doing you! I’m 25 and have been feeling all those things - I deleted my insta last October and haven’t looked back! I’m coming more to terms with this phase of ‘transition’ I guess you can call it - finding who we really are and what’s the next stage for our lives - something I’m trying to turn into a thing to look forward to. Peace and love x
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and struggles. I can definitely relate to what you are saying about anxiety and entering a new world being scared and resisting the changes caused by the pandemic. I still haven't found a way to cope with it but I do my best every day. Hope you find peace of mind and that everything turns out great for you. ❤
Renee- I am so thankful for you sharing this today! You have no idea how relatable this is in every way. While everyone has gone through their own trauma dealing with this past year, I know we’re all dealing with our own difficulties in life on top of it all- and it. is. so. incredibly. hard. But I just want you to know that you are NOT alone in this AT ALL. I think finding our own pieces of happiness again is a constant battle but I know we’re all growing as we navigate each day of life. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing your life online. Being able to relate to someone through a screen is so hard but you do it so well by just simply being you. Here’s to better days ahead and everything in between. Being a human is hard. Sending you lots of love!
ily thank you so much xx this meant so much
You are so much happier in Florida. I can see a difference in you with your videos.
I love your channel and I will always cheer you on Renee! you are so resourceful and uplifting! I love your productive and planning type videos... thanks for coming back!
in my life- my husband is dealing with chronic back pain with no real answers; I pray we get new news in an appt on Tuesday! wish us luck!~
I love this channel because you’re so human. I’m glad that you’re feeling better, love you Renee! 😘
Don’t underestimate the role of grief in a funk like this. It took me several years after my parents passed to feel grounded again. That was without moving away from my home & friends and dealing with the collective grief of a worldwide pandemic. You’re doing amazing.
You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont think I would be able to do it if Im in your place, so I am envying you with the patience and courage that you have!
Thank you so much for being too genuine and vulnerable to share this experience with us!💜
It’s absolutely relatable! Am in my 25 and going on 26 in two months, I often find myself lost in either ruminating over things that had already happened or overthinking the future.
It’s literally a life-paralysis state, taking into account the society pressure on us. . Like even when you are fully aligned with your core values and pushing yourself to remain present, someone will come, intruding, asking you questions that may trigger many insecurities, that you yourself are trying to deal with...
Renee❤️ Thank you for your transparency. Praying for you🙏🏽
So happy to see a video from you! Your content uplifts me and feel connected.
I’m 45 ! Trust me it’s a blessing to turn any age - take it all on - it’s a beautiful ride
❤️❤️
Thank you for making this video. I felt like I was hearing someone else say my thoughts. I hope it gets better for you, you are not alone. Sending you all the positive vibes 💕
When I first started watching you I felt as though I was in an another world that was simple calm and sweet. It brought me a sense of comfort! 💛
I relate to this soo much. Just like everyone else said. It makes us feel like we’re not alone and everything that you see online, Instagram , Facebook is so glamorized. Lately I’ve been searching in myself for a more minimalistic lifestyle. It’s been a work in progress. Also I’ve missed your videos. Glad you’re back ! 😊
I loved this video. I loved how realistic you were and that montage with your friend and family made me feel like I am a tourist
I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for sharing things that resonate with so many of us, and you have no idea how much it helps. I don't have many friends who can understand what it's to be actually stuck with life and be faking out without showing it so much, and knowing that such a big influence like you lives that too makes everything easier. Thank you and keep taking care of you and your mental health, we are all together in this!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, I love your honesty.
Thank you for posting this, Renee. I can 110% relate to everything you said about how superficial and fake our world has become. I also decided to quit social media about a year and a half ago and it has made the world of difference in my mental and spiritual health.
The last year or so has been super challenging and has brought with it so many changes in the world…but just know that you’ll get through this period of uncertainty! You’ve got sooo many more things left to accomplish :)
Thank you for making this video, I think we have all felt like this at some point. I see my adult daughter struggle with so much of this as well. Renee, I have missed you and I am so thankful to see you posted.
You're literally the reflection of how I feel about myself and the world! What a coincidence
So glad you’re back and continuing to push forward! Love you Renee!!
I'm feeling the exact same way at the moment. I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping me to process my feelings too. We will get through this. Sending you so much love
Renee this is why I love you. You've always been so authentic since I started watching your videos in 2017. Don't feel guilty, your feelings are always valid!
Yes! The world is so heavy right now. You are definitely not alone in this ❤️
Thank you for sharing.
Don’t think I ever clicked on a video so fast! Whoohooooooo so happy to see your face!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ahhh came back after watching to comment that my heart goes out to you! I totally relate with those surface level relationships, I just wish all your true friends could come give you a big hug and tell you to your face that we are here for all the rants/troubles/hard days etc. that come with being human, growing and living! Life is not always easy, it’s the hard times that make us evolve, grow and become better versions of ourselves. I love seeing your intro and outro update 🥰 very old school Ney. Here for all the good and bad moments girl! ❤️
I missed you all!!!! *so much 😢
Your videos make me feel so much better. The tough times are hard but we will get through them and things will get easier. Always here to listen and I’m sure quite a few people will agree with me there. So good to have you back 🥰
hey, I have seen so much growth from you over the past year. I completely feel you on the connections with people. Most of the time I can let work and school fill that void, but sometimes that need for real human connection bleeds through. I miss just laying down and doing nothing all day but talking. I hope you are able to find a place that makes you feel both safe and liberated. Thank you for being vulnerable and opening up a dialogue for this time in our lifetime. I wish you the best.
thank you so much for sharing this, I’m in the exact same place! This past year has been really hard and though my introverted self loved being at home and taking up a hobby on youtube, I feel like the world has become very scary and negative. When you stare at the same 4 walls and screens all day it’s very easy to forget the beauty of the world and life and I’m longing to just do something - anything - again. I’m turning 25 in two weeks and I feel like this is just a mid-20s thing no one ever told us about - seeing everyone from high school buying houses, getting married and on their third kid and those things are nothing close to what I want any time soon, and yet I let myself compare myself to them? It’s really weird. So thank you for sharing that we’re not alone 🥲
Renee you mean so much to me, your content is always comforting and I am so glad your back
Missed you Renee! I like when you do these sit down videos because I find them so relatable. I've struggled with mental health and I think every adult has doubts about their career from time to time (myself included).
I can relate to these struggles a lot. A lot of people are feeling the same way right now and it is okay to talk about it and vent because it makes us all feel better and connected during these difficult times and it's nice to know you're not alone. We will get through this!
This is more relatable than you know! I have been doing my best to focus on my personal values, and make choices that get me closer to them rather then further away. All we can do is our best. Thanks for sharing and giving us vulnerability and depth!
Such a raw beautiful video, it was extremely relatable and inspiring actually.. it inspires me to accept where i'm at and enjoy the simplicity of life :) Thank you for being who you are
You are so so so right, Renée. It's really sad the way that people try to "connect" now. I love that you're contuining videos without the influence of social media/trends. I'm so excited to see more of you driven by your gut!
I understand completely! You are echoing the thoughts and feelings I am going through now and it makes me feel so validated to hear someone else say it outload. I am so glad you are back because I did notice your absence and I did miss your content. We're gonna make it through these uncomfortable times and I can't wait until then!
Renee - this is why I keep watching you. Because you are authentic, honest and different. I'm so grateful to you for making my life better, because I often turn to your videos in times of pain or distress. I'm 32, but I wish we were friends. The friends you do have, are really lucky and blessed. Thank you for speaking honestly about mental struggles - they need to be talked about more. You inspire me to accept myself for who I am. Sending you love and peace of mind from Ottawa, ON, Canada xx
Hi Renee, with this video you echoed my thoughts exactly. Over the past year I was able to reflect on what's really important in life, and the more I examine today's society, the more disappointed and cynical I get. I recently moved to the East coast and life is very different here, and when you couple that with how loud the online world is, it can be very overwhelming. However, there is something very special with going your own way and taking value in truly important, non-materialistic things. Take pride in the fact that you refuse to conform to what society is pushing on you! Embrace this feeling, because it truly is special and needed in today's world :)
I love your videos a lot, therefore im excited to that you are back.
And you can always rant about what you're feeling and what's going on in your life to us.
* Sends hearts *
So happy to see you’re okay. I was worried about you. Always here to listen to you. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you my friend. Again so happy to see you’re okay.
I’m 36 & I feel like life is only just now beginning for me & I’m getting my niche in life figured out & somewhat together. Emphasis on somewhat ... barely lol. Thanks for being genuine. The online world needs genuine people. You’re an asset. You also aren’t alone. I felt what you’re feeling all throughout my twenties. Everyone’s timeline is different. Keep searching for what nurtures your soul. You’ll find it, sweet girl!
It's okay to feel lost. It's okay to take the time you need to figure out what you want in life. We all have those moments. I think it's important to talk about these moments and not feel like we need to hide them from the world. It's normal - thus it should be normalized. Thanks for sharing your story and your journey!
Hi Renee, so happy you’re back. I had been waiting 😂 I felt EXACTLY how you’re describing when I was around 26 and feel this again now I am 32. We’re here for you. Idk the solution but we are here 🙂
Missed you, Renee! So much of what you said resonated so much. I'm 36 and I feel the same way. I began feeling this way pretty much a year before the pandemic. Life suddenly felt so meaningless. Everyone around me was busy busy busy and constantly in the productivity grind and obsessed with showcasing a perfect aesthetic life on Insta. And nothing felt genuine. But I realized I define how I want to live my life and that I don't have to play by mainstream rules or whatever is trendy or what people are doing. So currently in the process of figuring out what that looks like and means for me. So glad you're going to focus on what makes you happy and what feels good for you. I follow you for how authentic you and your content are. Thank you for always keeping it real and for being vulnerable with us. And thank you for sharing your journey with us 💕🤗
I'm glad you're back! Thanks for keeping it real. I feel like the world right now is very crazy, and it's been hard for me to keep moving on with my goals and stuff. A couple months ago I lost motivation and excitement for small things that made me happy and it lead me to a dark place (I've been depressed before) so I tried to listen to my body and let myself feel whatever emotion I needed to feel, and not judging myself for things I haven't accomplish like the rest of the people my age (29). I'm about to be 30 and the crisis is real!
I missed you! I feel exactly the same way as you are describing that you are feeling. Especially when you are in to self development and spirituality that ”face” become so shallow and you want to make deeper connections. I also find it very hard to connect with other people and I just turned 30 a couple of months ago. I’m so happy that you don’t feel the need to put on that ”face” and I’m looking forward to see where life takes you being your authentic you ❤️
never been this early before!! I’m so excited 🥰 I’ve been rewatching your old vlogs for this past few days ☺️ so happy you’re back!!!
I feel you need to get a life outside of RUclips and the whole social media. I mean a source of income outside this world. And keep posting content just 'cause you like the process. ✨ I feel you're pressurized since this is also your career and obviously you're anxious about it.
This!
I think that too! I find it hard to find something else lol .. like what else do I want??! Its tough to find interests at this point .. especially in the career field *pulls out hair*
i was going to say the same thing.
I think, Renee, that you can try different thing, like, go back to teaching kids, become a barista, start an arts course, idk, just reeeally try to explore thinks outside of social media.
XO from Brasil
@@ReneeAmberg yeahhh I understand. I guess I would suggest to just start with something. If you hate it, leave it. If you like it, voila!
Just start with something.
You could even just start volunteering in an area you’re interested in. It would help you meet like minded people who aren’t shallow.
Sorry to hear you feel so down. My thoughts as a mom in her late 40’s.
Working from home and for yourself can become so routine, even the most introverted of us get bored. Are there any new interests you’d like to pursue? Art, music, skill, language etc?
You are financially independent, is there anything you are passionate about and would like to go back to college for? Not for a career, for personal growth.
Part time work? Volumteering, charity work? One of the best way to feel fullfilled is to help others. You were teaching online, could you volunteer and help kids in underprivileged NY areas with their homework?
Consider suburbia. It gets a bad rep but if the city is too much, it’s a good compromise.
When possible again, would you like to do more travel? US or world wide? So many places to see!
You don’t mention your relationship. Have you got any plans or goals as a couple? Moving, starting a family etc, have a look at your situation and see how you move forward as a couple.
When you get to 50, that sense of mortality becomes more real and palpable. It is horrible scary. You realise you only have 20, 30 years left, honesly it drives you nuts and you have to fight your own self very hard to not think and get depressed about it daily. It’s not all about amition, productivity, money, achieving more more more. There is nothing wrong with life being simple and stagnant, enjoying simple things in life. If the issue is getting bored, fill your life with helping others, growing as a person emotionally and intellectually.
I’ve been having a really tough time since fall 2019, so it’s nice to hear people on social media talk openly about struggles. I don’t feel like you’re being negative, you’re being real and it’s so needed in social media.
I'm following your journey for a long while now since you were in Florida. I'm inspired by all the content you share. Thank you for sharing this. I relate to this discussion a lot. I lived the same feeling. I live in a big city too and it's hectic with the characters we have. You are unique and have the urge for more, but in the most simplest form there could be. If you allow me to say - I think you need a change of place to unwind, think, relax away from what you know. You need calmness. I loved this video, that's why I'm talking as if it's not through the virtual world. Think about taking time off In a new place. Moving away helps you gain clarity on what you want in life. All the best to you, always.
SO relatable. This is so appreciated & refreshing to see!! Love from Canada! Xx
I was thinking of you just yesterday! I’m so glad you took the break you needed. We support you girl 💜
It's so great to see you back, actually, I've been in a hard time recently. After graduating from college, I just feel so tired and lonely. I'm really happy and inspired by this video after sleeping for more than 7 hours from this afternoon. I just wanna say thank you for your back.
❤️❤️ thanks for coming back! lol
I couldn't relate more with everything you said!! So true! Thank you for being so honest and sharing! This is what I love about you! :)
I listened to the entire thing because I resonate with every single thing she said ♥️ thank you for sharing
YESSS!! Earliest I've ever been, we've been waiting weeks now 😭💜✨ so happy you got a break though!
I'm 41 and still trying to find myself. Take ur time. No rush. Just do U. That's all we want. I feel u 💯 on the world right now. Can't wait for more videos. U are a true inspiration for me. Namaste!!!!
so glad to see you back! RUclips felt incomplete without you! I feel so relieved when I saw your video!
This is soo so normal
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that i share a lot off the same feelings and it really helps when you hear someone else going through the same things. So thank you for sharing. Also i’m looking forward to all the coming video’s!!❤️
I’ve been watching your channel for just over a year now and I’ve been loving all the content you’ve been putting out. What you spoke about in this video literally spoke to my soul because I’ve been in the exact same funk since the beginning of this year. It’s been such a strange place of no motivation, general anxiety and I actually realised that I’ve become more fearful in general which I think is all influenced by the pandemic and what’s going on in the world.
I’m also 26 about to turn 27 and I agree, it is such a weird age! A lot of my friends are getting on with life and having babies and buying houses or getting married, and I’m just trying to figure out what makes me truly happy. I’m also questioning the place where I live because I find that it doesn’t make me feel great, yet I don’t know where else I’d rather be so that brings a lot of confusion and frustration.
I’ve been worried for most of this year that I’m the only one going through something like this, that maybe I’m ungrateful and that I should just get on with life. But when you’re not satisfied with some aspects or you feel a bit stuck (I felt very “congested” for most of it) it’s so hard to just “put on a brave face” and carry on. If anything, I think it’s so amazing that you’re speaking about this because we’re not robots and all of our lives have changed massively over the past year so we can’t expect ourselves to immediately adapt to this new and different way of living. I’m sure you will figure things out, it may just take a little bit of time. Sending lots of good energy your way!
I can relate to you in this video with a lot of topics you talked about .. just continue being yourself & take it one day at a time.. we & people will love you for YOU 💞.. So glad to see that you are coming back 😘
You always inspire me. I am 8 years older than you. And I used to feel lost.... But is there when you find the way to come back to you, to what you really want, we need to get lost to find ourselves. Trust it, it's real. All the answers are inside us, we just have to learn to see them. Thank you for sharing, thank you for being you!
This vid is amazing cuz I am dealing with exactly the same issue as you. I just realized that trying to have some time to feel liberty was the key for me. I was so bored staying here in my home ground that I took a week off from everything, went to the city and studied what I've been meaning to do. I had no idea it would make a whole change in my mental statement!
