    Just started a new job and moved to a new city where I know one person, and it’s so hard! People talk about how hard life after college can be when you’re in your early 20s, but I feel like we don’t truly normalize how lonely and isolating it can feel. Constantly reminding myself that, while having the space to change and grow is a privilege, it’s still okay to acknowledge how difficult it is.

    Thanks as always for your honesty, and for sharing the low points as well as the highlights! I'm currently feeling very overwhelmed with my studies, because I'm trying to graduate next summer but there is SO much stuff to do, and most of it is self-study with very few actual classes and little structure. And then this weekend I'll have a dance tournament all weekend, which will be great but very tiring and, let's be real, a quite high chance of coming back with covid.. So I'm also preparing mentally and practically for distancing from my partner for a week.
    So that's my rant! I hope you're doing well and that you get the test results you're happy with :)

    Your Today Question is always interesting~ Currently, I'm planning to apply for a boot camp to become a software engineer in the future. I enjoy learning computer related stuff like coding and hope I'll be able to enter the offline course. Then I'll need to move out since the educational center is not located in my city. Btw, it's natural to cry when your best friend moves out :) I'm a man but I also cried two times in a row when I left for my home country, Korea because I really relished every life moment during my stay in America. Your country was beautiful and inspiring to me and I don't still forget that. Maybe it's why I still watch a bunch of different American youtubers to learn more about your country in general :)

    Well, I’m 24 years old, from Puerto Rico and this is my last semester of college. Right now I’m feeling really lonely most of the time, mostly all my friends have graduated already.
    I have my parents an hour away from me but I can’t see them all the time and it makes me a little sad sometimes but then I feel blessed that I still have them really close by so that helps. Right now I’m having money troubles because I can’t find a job and it feels really frustrating not being in your normal way were you can just go out and do whatever. But all through it all, I feel like I’m learning how to manage my money better and somehow it makes me feel better. Also I’m learning to have a lot of patience so yei!
    At the beginning of this year I felt that this last semester was going to be so lonely and boring but not really. It turns out I’m having really beautiful connections with friends and good times! So for everyone out there who is also passing through a difficult time, believe that everything will change for the better and good things WILL happen, just be patient. (I’m also trying to remind myself lol) so anyways, Kiara, watching your videos makes me so happy and believe me when I say that I am so happy for you and proud. Keep doing it gurl ❤. Xo Laura

    Change is SO hard and SO awesome at the same time. Such a rollercoaster of emotions during these seasons of life when it feels like everything is being pulled from under you, even when it is something great. You are totally right to cry it out and share your feelings with your friends - it helps you acknowledge the feels and then move on :)
    I'm also in a weird limbo where I'm deciding whether to stay where I am living currently or move house - there are a lot of things up in the air I'm waiting on and everyone is stressed about the cost of living and the UK interest rates going crazy :( just feels like such a stressful time. Just trying to focus on the stuff I can control and try and enjoy myself and be present like you were saying! I'm a Libra gal like you so at least I've got some birthday celebrations to take my mind off the worries:)

    I'm in my senior year of college and turning 22 at the end of this month, and I feel so unstable and uncertain of my future. Just for reference, I'm a Nutritional Science and Research major pursuing an accelerated Masters (and later hopefully Med School for Pediatrics). I just feel like everything in my life is slipping at the moment, and I can't seem to catch my breath. Because of this, I just feel so disconnected with my ambition & passion which I feel like is just perpetuating the cycle... Definitely a big period of change with everyone planning to go in different directions. I want to make the most out of my senior year, but I also need to prioritize school so it's really been hard to juggle.

Take time to hang out with the people you love each day to make memories and give yourself something to look forward to as you navigate this time. Things do have a funny way of working out when someone as hard working as yourself has set yourself up on this path to success. Set up moments in your day to reflect on what you truly care about and talk about your feelings with those who know you well & make be able to offer some good advice!

    I have been feeling so lost recently. I feel like I have a foot in too many worlds. I started a full-time contract position in September that goes until February - so that is temporary, so I don't feel like I really fit there even though I am loving it. I am in school part-time so I really don't feel like I am apart of that world kind of like I'm only passing through. I start a part-time contract position in November (another temporary thing). I love my friends and family from my hometown but every time I visit it just reminds me of how much I have outgrown that place and would feel so stuck if I lived there again. Also I am the only one of my friends who is single & I am happy for them but I just don't know where I fit in their lives anymore. The place I live, I only know a couple of people even though I have been here for 4 years but 2.5 of those years have been COVID. I have just been feeling so isolated but not in the sense of isolation like in COVID just an isolation of what happens now and where do I go from here. when you were crying with Katie, I have felt that so many time in the last few months, it's scary. Lots of Love, life is hard sometimes.

I have been sick more times in the last few months than I have ever in a long time which is really odd too and preventing me right now from getting these hours, so I'm a bit stressed (I need to this class to take my senior year, second semester internship class in the spring, so ya girl is a bit stressed because I don't want the practicum class to prevent me from graduating in the spring! Hopefully this cold passes and I can get back with the kiddos soon and makeup some hours...

Woke up at 5am got to work at 7 and had no employees there. Worked until 3 and sat in the ER from 4 to 8 pm getting tested for covid to make sure I didn’t have covid and didn’t put anyone else at risk. I’m tired girl.

    I have faith in you that you will pass your nclex exam with flying colors.
    My thought for the day-
    My parents were quite elderly and sick the last 3 1/2 - 4 years of their lives. And they are gone now. My father had mobility issues and it was virtually impossible to take him anywhere from March 2020 until his passing October 2021. There is a need for more geriatric care. More home care where a pa or nurse like you that comes to one’s house for checkups and bloodwork. This would be approved by the patient’s primary care physician.
    That would have my father aide’s job so much easier. Both her and myself could have asked questions about his care. It could have been a win win situation for all parties.
    My thought for another video is nursing homes in our country.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  Год назад

    I'm struggling with living alone. I moved out of my parent's house when I was 19, and I live over 700 miles away from them. My mom has significant health issues, which stresses me out being so far away. I'm losing motivation this semester for my graduate classes. I'm pretty sure I'm just in a slump. My dog keeps having allergic reactions, and I'm panicking, trying to figure out what it's from. And I keep feeling like whenever I can start saving some money, something goes wrong, and I need to spend the money I've been saving immediately. I feel like sometimes I am drowning, and no one in my life understands (I am sure I have friends who understand). And I haven't seen my best friend of 12 years in over four years.
