I'm so glad to hear you talk about your Haitian side. As a Caribbean content creator, I sometimes feel alone on this platform because there's not much representation of OUR type of content and culture. Big up ya self gyal 🙏🏾
Do you guys ever feel "behind" or like you didn't do the process "the right way" like everyone else? I know that it's never too late but it doesn't completely get rid of the feeling that you're going against a structured way of living that has been taught and expected of you.
I'm about to be 24 in a couple of months, I've changed my degree THREE times before finally settling on teaching/English in hopes of living in Asia at some point. I always felt bad watching people I went to school with thrive at life whilst I sit not knowing what I want to do. This makes me realise, I'm not alone and it's NEVER too late to figure things out and to follow your dreams.
I’m a 27 year old South African living and raised in South Africa and there is so much of your story I resonate with. Thank you for being brave and vulnerable enough to share such an intimate part of you. I’m certain you will help many ✨🤎
AS expensive as college is today, take your time to learn what you want to do before you settle in. I went back to school at 29, i was much more focused and no one seemed to know i was 10 years older than them
I love the videography, moving is big deal yo. I only moved 2 times , once when I was little and 2rd time , we moved to a big city from the little one. I was bloody excited and scared , moving to the another country ? Oh god , I respect all people who are moving.
i'm absolutely loving your content. i heavily relate to this video as a second-gen african. my mum escaped from her war torn country and made a life for herself in london at 16 years old!! she ended up becoming a nurse and housing agent. similarly with my dad! and here i am, no a-levels (technically) bc i have taken college TWICE now. left both times with mediocre grades, doing subjects i had little to no interest in. bc what i want to do (study in japan) was out of reach. i was embarrassed in college, making friends with students two years younger than me bc i had never diverted from my age group. never diverted from the expected path. it was scary. but now, even whilst i'm in education limbo, i'm still planning to live in japan. like i've always wanted to. it's still a work in progress but it's happening!
Your story is relatively close to what I’m experiencing right now. I’m glad you did what’s right for you instead of listening to friends and family. By the way, you have an amazing voice for story telling.
i could cry watching this because although i dont relate to all of it, i relate to a lot of it. the tears i feel of not really knowing what i want to do, being a child of immigrants and feeling like i should do more to bring money home, big money. i too feel like everyone is looking at me like ‘what is she doing, she’s so lazy’
I know the feeling. I sometimes still feel that feeling, I secure a plan but it's never a longterm plan. I guess that's what you call living life right? Also I know a lot of Germans & Europeans take a Gap year or two before college. It's Ok :)....I'm a first generation Jamaican child. My story is very similar to yours but kinda imagine it opposite to yours. I'm in Korea now lol .
@@KelsiasDiary I just wanted to say I love you and this video. I just met you a couple minutes ago, and you are so relatable... I feel like it's such a huge pressure in Immigrants households to pursue going to college and becoming a lawyer, doctor...etc but ask I get older and now I'm in highschool. I question what I want to do, or what I'm interested in and even if i do want to go to college. Sometimes I do, sometimes i don't. I really am not sure especially considering how a lot of people have went to college and gotten a degree they hate... I want to become something in the forsenic field but Idk. It's speculated..

Right? As I was listening I realised the same thing. Maybe not myself in particular but sonke nje as a community of black South Africans
I feel this soo much as a black child nje
I'm also south African
Turning 24 in a few months and I’m a junior in college. I felt understood with this video. I’m still figuring it out. Thank you for sharing 💕

Pray for Haiti 🇭🇹

Your entire channel is amazing! I'm hooked!
Wow, thank you!

You got this! and thanks. I'm pretty sure everyone hates the sound of their own voice lol

You do what make you feel that comfort within self.
I literally wanted to do that this year but things did not go as planned and now I'm stuck in college

Cool video! Are you still living in Korea?
Wow i actually find you to be quite interesting!
Damn shame you went to college.
Love your channel girl
You're so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Wait. So if you're going back to Korea... does this mean that he's going at the same time?? 😲🤔
I stated the dates I was there in the video. It’s talking about my past. I’m in the US now. I lived in Korea before Mike and I we’re together.
