it makes me a little sad for 15-year old raven, that she didn't think big big dreams would happen - but it does make it all the more special that 25-year old raven is getting to live such a wonderful life. it's a tough road to walk, helping our inner child move forward as well. you've got this!
Growing old is a blessing.. many people don’t have the opportunity. I’m 44 years old and my cousin is 42.. she has stage 4 breast, liver and bone cancer. She won’t see her two daughters who are 10 and 14 grow up.. take everyday that you wake up breathing and healthy as if it’s your last. Be happy, be adventurous and most of all love hard.. we only have one life so enjoy it to the fullest. ❤
I definitely don’t think you’re silly for framing your life through the eyes of younger you, I think it’s really sweet. Maybe even a part of you that needs to think about it like that to heal your soul in some way, or just a way to see how far you’ve come since then. 10 years is a long time! I mean, you could even still do that when you get to 35, and that’s awesome! It’s genuine and sweet, and I definitely don’t think it’s weird whatsoever. ❤
Hey Raven, as a fellow 25 year old, the quarter life crisis definitely hits us all! Speaking to all my friends, everyone has had the same feelings of worrying about getting older and thinking where they want to go from this point in life. I've turned to a new hobby of sewing. I think being creative and be forgiving to yourself. It's completely normal to have these worries. We will all get through it 🥰 xx
Continuing to be happy and amazed by our lives is key to being happy imo. Dont take anything for granted! It IS cool living on our own, having friends, having work like- you not falling into pessimism and stuff isnt childish or weird its great
Raven I swear, I adore you! You’re my fav comfort cozy gal that I get so excited when I see a post from you! I’m also going out of the country in a few weeks to London from Atlanta 😃 I hope you guys have a great, safe, fun and relaxing vacation ❤ 15 year old Raven would be proud of the woman you have become. You are truly the kindest and most enduring gem of a person I’ve seen in a while.
Dude I feel you Raven. I also turned 25 this year, and I always heard turning 30 is hard but I think 25 was my 30 bc like how did that happen? 😂😂 I swear I was in high school like a year ago lol. Also, I’ve work as a vet tech, male cats often have urinary issues and sometimes have to undergo bottom surgery to help them pee better and not have blockages lmao
HI Raven I heard about the hurricane in your state and immediately thought of you and I hope everything is all good for you and your family!!! much Love
Putting on my older person hat here, but, as someone who is very close to 27 I feel really freaked out about turning 30, but 25 was such a great age to be. It's the year your brain is fully developed and I felt like it was a huge year for discovering my truest self. It's the age as an adult that I was fully able to embrace the I don't care what people think mentality. Such a huge year for growth. Embrace being 25, it's amazing! And you wear it well :)
I don’t think it’s weird at all to revisit your 15 year old self and think about how she would feel about everything you’ve accomplished. From my perspective, that’s normal and healthy, it sounds like you’re just appreciating everything you’ve accomplished and I hope 35 year old Raven will continue to visit 15 and 25 year old Raven to reflect on how far you’ve come in life. 😊
Hi Raven!! I enjoyed the crochet and chat with me video!!! I’ve been crocheting for a few months and I love it!! I hope you have an amazing trip!! ❤️❤️❤️
Not to be weird, but I KNEW I related to you and your answers confirmed it! Loved this! Chatty Raven is my favorite I think! I'm introverted but I like talking about my interests- other introverts think I'm extroverted but I talk more to them if I respect them and have things in common. Extroverts find me anti-social and boring. I totally understand the mindset of your younger self being shocked (and maybe proud) that you've found a set of people that you like to hang out with weekly. (🙋🏻♀️)Always the goodie two shoes, loved school and had respect for teachers. It took a bit for me to realize that I did my best work for homework at school- home was too chaotic to stay focused and I could get questions answered at school. BUT writing papers had to be at home- the night before gave me a sense of urgency that I still trive on as an adult. I think it can take time to be introspective and figure out the way our own brains trive the best. Not that I wasn't over analytical/overly stressed as a child- but finding your BEST way can take time. I feel like I've leaned heavily into nostalgia to help deal with adult stress- collecting things of characters I liked when I was younger or characters I like now. I was a big Doctor Who fan (David Tennant! And do feel like they've done well with the villains) I like many supernatural category shows and movies but struggle with demons (unless it's anime because they seem to be more neutral) or like the super terrifying side of hauntings. I keep telling myself I'll get through Supernatural because I got through the 1st Charmed. Ah well- I've talked a lot. I do wonder if you've taken MBTI/Myers Briggs- I think more people in the generation behind me have taken the Ennegram but mine has never been the same result. My MBTI is INFJ- the chattiest introvert, but definitely needs so much recharge. I feel like you try to be sweet to people but still can kindly stand up for yourself. The Live chats show me you seem to have a good heart and that seems like a rarity for people with a big online presence. Might be a weird compliment, but your effort is definitely noticed in making sure people don't feel dumb for their chat comments even when they are silly. Have a good rest of your weekend- Thanks for reading if you took the time! It's alright if you didn't- you have a massive amount of people that love your content! Congratulations again!! 😊🎉👏🏻
im 35, turning 36 in november and honestly anybody under 30 is still a baby to me XD so embrace your 20s, have fun and just remember you can still continue to have fun in your 30s! your life will only get better in your 30s and beyond~
As a soon to be 16 year old I’m very much like how you were as a kid. I constantly stress about getting my work done and always have straight As on my report card. I always feel like there’s pressure to be the best I can in school because I’m an older sibling. I also can definitely relate to the baby sibling thing. I’m always watching and taking care of my baby brother. I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world though because I know it’s going to pay off in the long run. I’m also a big people pleaser so whatever I can do to help people I’ll do. I’m just glad that I can relate so heavily to one of my absolute favorite content creators. ❤️
love these kinds of vids,, i watched/listened while baking brownies 😝 and i get what you mean about past you being surprised to hear what current you is doing - i have really bad social anxiety so there's times where i feel shocked that im able to do things a "normal" person would do like go grocery shopping alone or even go to work every day (i work in customer service in retail !)
It was so nice crocheting along while listening to this! I'd definitely be interested in more crochet yap sessions in the future. You should talk more about magic the gathering! Like, what kind of formats do you play? Do you play commander? Would love to hear about your decks :) I am personally an omnath girly 💅
I’m glad you got to experience traveling abroad! It’s always a unique full filling experience. I’m a behind the curtain viewer but just letting you know that I appreciate your “talking only” videos too!! I found you through Animal Crossing and the whole serotonin thing you said about clothing/style… it works through the screen too in case you were wondering. 🥹
Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos Raven! I've been sick for the past 5 days so I've just been watching all of your videos while working on my animal crossing island or crocheting a blanket. They've definitely helped me to not be bored out of my mind 😂 🐸❤
@@Natalielovescatsit’s good to inform people about it! I was about to comment the same exact thing. :) For more info basically some automated litter-boxes the sensor that’s supposed to stop the cycle to start when the cat is in it stops working or just randomly doesn’t work. I don’t have personal experience with it but I do feel it’s important to tell people that at least try to get a good one (big name brand) instead of a random cheap brand and such…
I'm also 25 and also just went on my first international trip!!! I went to paris, munich, and venice and it was amazing 🥰 I hope you had a great time. It is crazy to think about especially when it is your first time!
Raven your younger self sounds like me rn! I feel the same about school and this video was very interesting because it was different but a good different 😊 you are a good person and I’m happy that you’re in this world with me. You inspire me and you are very confident. You are beautiful and amazing and hope you have a great day! 😊❤😊
Hiii Raven just here to tell you that earlier today in school my class was playing a game where we had to say something that we love in our lives, after the game my friend turned to me and said “I should’ve said FroggyCrossing” just here to say me and my friend love your videos and you should continue to make the amazing content you do! Love you Raven❤❤❤❤
I'm so painfully jealous but I'm so excited you're finally going on a vacation!! Edit: 15 year old Jayy would be very confused about living in a shared apartment. So I TOTALLY understand. I also don't really have memories. And that's on trauma HAHAHA We are a mess but we're here and living Edit edit: YOUR BROWS REALLY ARE PERFECT Last edit: THE SHIRT TURNED OUT PERFECT OMG I'm inspired
Raven, you should get a Spider Plant They can survive in rooms without sunlight and during Spring amd Summer it only needs to be watered once or twice a week. During Fall and Winter, even less watering is required. (I don't have one but I'm trying to convince my parents to get me one.) And they're Pet - Friendly.
Girl, we all have 15 yr old conversations with ourselves. We all understand, because we all do it. Some of us grew up with strict parents, so having that freedom as adults we do not take for granted. We get you. I really enjoyed this, please do more.
Thanks for joining me on my lunch Hr. And sitting and chatting to me while I ate in silence hehe 😂 Best lunch date EVER!!! Same time same place NEXT FRIDAY??? 😂😂❤
Raven if you do a part 2 I have a question! How was your middle school years? Did you enjoy middle school? Was there a struggle or a problem you had in any school grade?
Hi Raven, I just wanted to ask if you see this if you’re OK from the hurricane it was very scary where I live and I know you live down in Florida so it probably hit you harder, but I just wanted to make sure you’re ok!🩷🩷
I love this! Been super into audio-only stuff while I've been productivea round the house lately, def wouldn't mind this being a series! also PLEASE REVISIT WIZARD101! It's one of the only childhood games that's still up and running and still updates semi-regularly!
Weirdly, I didn’t play wizard101 as a kid, my best friend did and so I started playing in my late 20’s so we could play together and honestly, it (still) slaps. 😊
Hey Raven I heard there was a hurricane approaching Florida, hope you quack peach and pepper are safe!!
I'm sorry but a crochet+yap vlog on a friday after school?? RAVEN I'VE BEEN BLESSED
Yesss

YESS IM CROCHETING RN

it's a tough road to walk, helping our inner child move forward as well. you've got this!
being the "teacher's pet" because you respect the teachers and get your work done is so real, that was the story of my life all throughout school

RAVEN PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE I NEED THEM IMMEDIATELY
You inspired me to start crocheting! :P

Hi Raven!! I enjoyed the crochet and chat with me video!!! I’ve been crocheting for a few months and I love it!! I hope you have an amazing trip!! ❤️❤️❤️
This video was a good motivator for me to finally start working on my own crochet project so thanks for that!
