About Me 👩🏽
Hi, I'm Akta :) I'm trying to find more meaning in my relationships, work, and life in general, because I think there's more to it than what society tells us. I try to approach things in a less overwhelming way, because I think there's already so much pressure on us from society.

Good job Akta 👏👏
Thank you Lana ❤ I really appreciate you being in this, and I had so much fun talking to you 🤗
Amazing video Akta!! Thanks for including me :)
You’re an absolute legend! I’m so grateful that you shared your perspective for this video 🤗
@@Akta Hey! Did you know you fixed the comment from a fake Matt D'Avella and replied to a fake account with his profile picture? FYI.
@@freelasenegocioshomeoffice thanks for telling me!
fantastic video :P
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts in this video Ali 🤗
I am very much a part of the 99% percent you referenced early on the video. I've also spent a lifetime of lurking and observing other people's content whilst being a bystander in my life. I don't ever comment on videos but for some reason felt a compelling urge to do so today. Mainly I just wanted to say honestly keep going as everything you put out resonates with me on a deep level, and therefore, I feel there is large number of other people for which this is the case also. From someone who has watched a lot of RUclipsrs over the years, particularly in the self-help space, you definitely have a niche here; and that niche is you being unapologetically the authentic you. Your content feels very refreshing, original and empowering. Gone off on a bit of tangent but yeh just wanted to give some positive encouragement :).
Wow thank you so much KP, I really appreciate that you’ve moved into the 9% to leave this comment here. Thank you so much for saying this, niche is something I have consistently struggled with on RUclips, so for you to say this is really reassuring. I’m so happy that you resonate with the content I make, and I hope you feel inspired to take centre stage of your own life (whatever that means for you) 🤗🤗
Totally agree
"They're the chosen ones, only because they chose themselves" - thats powerful!
❤️
I used to be a loner changing schools all the time (in foster care) and I didn't have quality friends(they were selfish and boring). After I started volunteering I met other former foster kids (who value friendships more since they don't come from greatest families). I met my best friend there and then I started socializing with ppl at my new job. I have so many great friends now I never feel alone like we can just walk into eachother houses now I'm super picky about who I let into my life or who's going to be worth it to take my time away from my friends. They were always there for me when I had mental breakdowns at the hospital(anxiety) and they all have different interests so I'm never bored when I wanna go hiking or travel. I don't even care about romantic relationships cause I always have something else to do (50% of time they don't work out or are cheating or abusive anyways). Only invest in those family or friends who have your best interest at heart life's too short to be unhappy
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so glad that you great friends who could be there for you ❤️
'exposure therapy' didn't realise this is a coined term, but i agree with so much of what each of the creators and you said! this has framed some of my thoughts so well. it's also so nice to see that we all really do have the same fears yet are part of the 1% that went for it anyway. power to you and this video you wee creative genius 💟
Thank you so much Dev ❤️
Such an amazing and well articulated video! Don't stop! Keep going!
Thank you so much for this video Akta, it keeps me motivated for posting more videos!
If you don't ask the answer is always no
Yes 🙌🏼
I love your channel so much! Thank you for another awesome video! 💕
Thank you so much Shaneka, that means so much to me 🥹❤️
Wow....this was so beautiful. We have to choose ourselves, every day.
I needed this right now. Thank you for putting yourself out there and encouraging everyone else as well.
I am so glad :) thank you so much Prairie 🤗
This is such a wholesome video. I'm watching this on New year's Eve and I'm so excited to hit the ground running tomorrow. I'm an aspiring RUclipsr as well, and this video really resonated with me. Thanks Akta. 🤗
Thanks very much.
Video's message in two words " Show up"
This is very powerful and inspirational. Thank you
Thanks Ken 🤗
Thank you for this video, Akta! These words are absolutely right,we should follow our dreams even if we have fears!
Thanks for watching Julia 🤗
This video and your channel is seriously underrated. This video came to me when I really needed it. Thank you....its exactly what I needed to hear to start my YT/blog/podcast.
Your content is 1000x what so called self help gurus try to do but fail miserably....and I would never lump you in with them, just saying your videos are oustanding. Thank you.
Thank you so much, you’re so unbelievably kind 🥹❤️ I wish you luck for starting your YT/blog/podcast, enjoy the journey :) 🙌🏼🙏
Thank you so much for this video Akta. Your message is so well and gently said, and each one of you living this spoke so honestly and personably.👏🙏
Thank you so much ❤️
Amazing video!! It’s definitely one I needed to watch, as I am trying to grow my channel and having my ups and downs just to know that as least I am the few that’s trying makes me feel great now! Thank you for you and the video keep up the amazing work!
It’s a hard journey, but yes you’re special for being part of the 1% so keep going 🙏🙏 thank you so much 🤗
Super encouraging! You have me thinking of my life trajectory - I appreciate this! xx
Thank you Risha ❤️
I needed this today! I’m going to keep putting myself out there so thanks for the encouragement!
I’m so glad Hannah 🙌🏼
Beautiful - from beginning to end!
I’m so excited and inspired by your journey ❤ I can’t wait to see your growth from here onwards. Thank you for sharing everything in such a beautifully written way.
Thank you for your lovely comment Cynthia, I really appreciate this ❤️
Hey Akta! I really enjoy the part of the video where everyone talks about other people not really caring what you choose to do. I think getting caught up in what others will think is what really leads to feelings of regret later in life. Amazing video and I look forward to seeing more! 😁😁😁
Thank you so much Daniel, I’m so glad that part stayed with you ❤️
What an inspiring video! Your videos continue to have so many great takeaways and I will definitely be recommending your channel to those closest to me! ❤
That is unbelievably sweet and thoughtful of you, thank you so much Maya 🥹❤️
This was absolutely beautiful and very inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share and make use engaged from beginning to end. Excellent video
Thank you Yenny, I’m so glad you thought it was engaging and inspiring 🥰❤️
I resonated with a lot of this. Thank you, this was a really great video ✨
Thank you so much Adama 🤗
Wow! Just wow! I enjoyed every word you and others shared about overcoming your fears and take a chance to put yourselves out here on RUclips and social media.. It takes me way back when I decided to upload my first video, I had so many fears of people judging the way how I talk. 2 years later I have a team who supports what I do and viewers who watches our content has told us that we personally saved / changed their lives for the better. Point I'm trying to say is, continue to make quality content because your content helps others like me who watches your videos. Thank you Akta!
That’s amazing I’m so glad that you’ve seen so much positive change since putting yourself out there 🙌🏼 I really appreciate you watching ☺️
Another day, another slay ✨✨
Thank you so much for making this video :) I have just started my gap year and have received so much judgment from others. Your videos mean a lot to me. I believe that your channel will grow bigger in the future. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the support and reassurance 🥰 I’m so glad you’re following through on what you want to do! 🙏
We stumbled across your channel. You're a very good speaker with good insight. Bravo!
Thanks so much for checking my channel out and for your kind words 🤗
Your best video to date, even if it hadn't included all of the cameos. Every word is so true, as I've been learning slowly over the last few months all of the same lessons and realisations. Keep doing what you're doing Akta!!
Wow thank you so much May, I really appreciate you saying this 🥹❤️
Loved this video, I came across your channel a few days ago and I had to subscribe. The attitude you have is inspiring and making me want to push better on my RUclips journey which I have just started. Keep up the great work and I hope everything you set out to achieve comes to you. :)
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind wishes ☺️ good luck with your channel too :) 🙏
I just started watching your channel and I wanted to thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your struggles it's very encouraging 💙💙 Thank you 💙💙
Thanks for coming to this channel Jess, I’m so grateful you’re here ❤️
Loved this video because it's so relatable. I have so many regrets because there are so many chances I didn't take and so many doors that I never opened. My favourite quote these days is what you said, in the end- if you never try you will never know. Thanks, Akta!
Thank you Navpreet, I’m so glad you found it relatable 🤗🤗hope you take more chances on yourself 🙏
akta thank you so much for this!! 😭 you have no idea how much your courage, clarity of mind & authenticity inspired me to be more confident of myself and put myself out there! i recently started a channel because of you and i really really want to thank you for constantly inspiring me to keep going ❤ please continue doing your thing!!
I’m so glad, well done and good luck with your channel 🤗🤗 I really appreciate your kind words ❤️
Hi Akta! This video moves me so much because now I see how many opportunities I have wasted in my life. You've put yourself out there and now your actions result in spectacular rewards, for example reaching out to Ali, Lana and Matt. Not many people would dare to do so due to the fear of rejection. You have grown so much. I found you on Lana's channel over a year ago and if it were not for her I would have never found you.
Keep going. Your channel is underrated. It needs a lot more of attention. You deserve so much more.
Thank you so much, I’m so happy you noticed that collaborating with Ali, Matt, and Lana required me to put myself out there (I wondered if anyone would notice as I chose to do it specifically for this video for that reason)! I really appreciate that you’ve been on this journey with me for so long, it honestly means the world ❤️
great video - love the story telling aspect. And the sound engineering used to transport the viewer in different phases of your life. Keep up the hustle and I have subscribed to become a part of the journey! Cheers 😀
Awww thank you so much for noticing the sound!! I really appreciate that 🥰
Wow, this hit hard! It felt like you were summing up the person I've been the last few years, not taking the chances I wish I was taking...that I used to take. I was just wondering why I didn't have as many opportunities at my fingertips, and that's why. Very thought provoking and insightful.
Thanks Darren, I’m so glad this has been food for thought and I hope you create more opportunities now 🙏
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been battling with these thoughts for a long while too, and once I started uploading my own content all that anxiety and fear about being accepted or what will people think - just dissolved. Truth is, the sooner you make that jump the sooner you get to rid yourself from this unnecessary stress. No one truly cares indeed. Fantastic video Akta. Just subbed :)
Thanks so much Rish , I’m so glad you found that fear dissolved too! Thanks for sharing that with us :)
Incredibly video and fantastic of you to bring all these amazing creators. Wishing you the best growth trajectory for both your channel and you as your person. Rooting for you 🎉 😃
Thank you so much Oscar, that’s so kind of you 🥹🙏 thanks for the support ❤️
I haven’t watched you in a couple weeks. Wow - your channel took off all of a sudden! Congratulations!
Aww thank you so much 🤗❤️
I relate so much to you, my entire life I felt like a side character in my own story, conforming to whatever circumstances I was dealt with and not putting in any effort to change them because it was what it was. I'm tired of living this way and that's part of the reason I started my RUclips channel that no one watches but that means a lot to me.
I honestly think that so many people love that way but I’m so glad that you’ve taken a step to do something for you! Good luck with your channel ☺️
This was super inspiring! Not something we like to face because the voices of comfort are much easier to pay attention to. It's helpful to know the feeling of holding yourself back is shared between most people but in a way it's scary. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this!
Thanks so much for watching Wesley :)
As an introvert creator I can relate to this so much. Thank you Akta ❤
Amazing video with the collabs you did with the 3 other youtubers! I actually watched Lana Blakely's videos before finding your channel, so it was nice seeing you both collab! I'm gonna put myself out there more often now after watching this video!
0:17 It looks like you grew yourself significantly throughout the pandemic since in 2019 you were depressed
Thank you so much 🤗🤗 I grew a LOT over the pandemic, there was a lot of tears and other things affecting my confidence back then, I was struggling to leave the house at one point. It’s strange looking back on it now
This video is a gem and EXACTLY what I needed rn ❤
Yay, I am so glad Niharika!! ❤️❤️
WOW.... I mean WOW. You have hit the nail in the head with this video. Not many people realise how good they are until they start. Each person is unique in their beauty. GO OUT THERE GUYS and do not care what other thinks, just feel good with yourself. Great video Akta. I am coaching my clients on this basic every single day before we take further steps into the business and personal growth. Well done.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you think so 🤗
This is such a great video, thank you so much for your content! This is super inspirational for me xoxo from a Mexican in Colombia 🥰
Omg thank you so much, I’m so glad you found it inspiring! ❤️❤️
I loved this video! It's exactly what I needed to inspire and encourage me to put myself out there in life and in my youtube career! So happy I found your channel :) excited to watch more of your videos, thank you for sharing
I’m so glad this helped!! Good luck with your RUclips channel and thanks so much for watching this 🥰
Hi Akta 👋,
It’s so exciting to see that you’ve come such a long way now that you get to connect with RUclipsrs who have inspired you to put yourself out there. I hope to see you connect with more RUclipsrs (and maybe with Lana Blakely, Matt D’Avella, and Ali Abdaal again) in future videos!
Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
Awww thank you so much Ritchie!!🤗🤗
Glad I subbed, because these videos are eerily relatable to where I’m at in life. Getting out of your comfort zone is the key to making progress in life. Good video
I’m so glad you find this relatable 🤗
I came onto RUclips to watch an entirely different video, and this was the first suggestion on my homepage…and I am SO glad it was! This was something I really needed to hear as I’m looking to embark on a new journey in my career! Thank you so much for your authenticity and openness Akta ❤
I’m so glad this is what you needed, good luck for your new journey Nikita 🙏 thank you so much for watching this and for your lovely comment ❤️
I love this video. It does however leave out one key factor: Stress. Putting yourself out there can produce a lot of that and it needs a certain level of resilience to stay persistent.
This video made me so emotional 🥺🥺 I remember when we both started and it’s been such a journey for us. It’s amazing to see how much we’ve grown and how our life has changed just by putting ourselves out there 🤍 cannot wait to see what the future holds 🥰🥰 (also absolutely amazing editing and storytelling).
🥹🥹🥹 omg definitely! I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years as well 😱 thank you so much my lovely 🤗❤️
I love how Lana, Matt and Ali are all in this video! Love them ❤
Me too! I love the different perspectives they shared :)
This is really great video like always. So informative
Thank you so much 🤗
Great video Akta. You're reminding me that I need to loosen up, be more authentic and not over edit!
Thanks Ryan! Honestly I’ve had to learn that same lesson over the past 2 months, after my break I went a bit OTT with editing, I’m trying to relax with it more now too! It’s a good lesson to learn though :) hope things are going well :)
WOW. Life changing video Akta!! Thank you 😍😍 That was a lot of wise words
Omg thank you so so much 🥹❤️❤️
Great content. I myself is not a content creator, but I am planning to be/try to become one. It is nice to see the early struggle other people have made. I believe it is hard to push yourself when you have a smaller subscriber count. You often feel like quitting, but one day (and that day comes) when you will be further ahead, it will be nice to see how it all started. Great work, keep up.
Thank you Eduard, I wish you the best on your journey :)
Saw this video as a suggestion and just clicked and so glad I did!! If i never ask that girl out, I would never know, hence gonna put myself out there.. Thanks a lot for this video
Yayyy ask her out!!! I’m so glad :)
Omg! The reactions of Lana when she's I believe agreeing to what you are saying. It feels like whenever we found people that are like you for the first time in forever again.
Wow. This video is such a testimony. You are a testimony.
Lana was so much fun to speak to, I love the way she thinks, and how relatable everything she said was. She definitely helps so many people to feel less alone and to be more accepting of themselves ❤️ thank you so much for your kind words , it means the world 🥹🙏
I literally couldn't relate more to this video. I've been the 99% of people, and within the last year to 6 months, I've finally been working to begin to make changes. After years of crippling fear and anxiety about what others might think of me, I'm finally learning that what WE think of ourselves, is what matters in the end. The relationship we have with ourselves, is arguably the most important. It's been my dream to move new york city for the longest time, but was terrified of what my family would think if I told them I was moving away. But now, as of 2 months ago, I moved back home with them to prepare, and it's my goal to be there next spring. To my surprise, although they think it's scary that I'm moving, they're supportive. In my head I thought they'd freak out. Life is messy, it's not meant to be perfect, but in that beautiful mess is where we learn. You nailed it with this in saying that we learn by doing. I've already said a lot, but clearly this video inspired me a ton. So, thanks so much for your content, and congrats on your journey, this will help so many people who see this video 😌 excited to see where you go from here!
This video is absolutely encouraging. What Matt (I believe that’s his name) talked about in terms of starting the blog and nobody caring was very relieving for me. I have 3 blog posts, and I realize that no one really sees it, but that is okay because no matter how many views I get, I’m going to keep writing and sharing and whoever sees it sees it. Thanks again for another great video!
Thanks Bennett, that was Ali but yes I agree, it’s a great relief hearing it!! Thanks so much for watching and good luck with your blog 🤗🤗
Love this Akta 💜 It's so hard to put yourself out there...especially if you get rejections! Or fail...multiple times! But you need to keep doing it over and over...until you get that one "yes"! I'm currently applying and interviewing for jobs as a new grad NP and it has been so emotionally crushing--especially as someone who has been "successful" throughout my academic career. You need to remind yourself, "I only have control over my actions and inputs. NOT the outcomes." So you just keep showing up, being consistent, hoping something sticks... And this is true for any venture! To anyone who is putting themself out there and feeling the discomfort--keep at it! We got this 💪
Thank you so so much Emily, and thanks for sharing your amazing advice with us all 🤗 good luck with your job applications, it’s so great that you have such a resilient mindset 🙌🏼❤️
@@Akta I * try * to keep this resilient mindset haha. I've definitely had a few crying jags and chocolate bars along the way, but that's ok too ✨
Your videos are really inspiring❣
This video really really helped me get out of my head today. I've been questioning myself and feeling so demotivated by all the voices in my head. I was scared of being judged when people actually don't know me. However, I just started my passion/dream of the blog and so so excited to see what I'm truly capable of. This journey is mine and so mine. No one cares and that's liberating. Thank you Akta. ❤
OMG yay!!! Congrats on starting your blog Mithra, and I’m so glad that this video came at a good time!! I wish you luck on your journey, and I know it will be a great one ❤️
Great video. ❤thanks so much for making such amazing content.
Thanks so much for saying that Tiffany ❤️❤️
Thanks for video, wish you luck in your journey
Thank you Hussain 🤗
what a inspiring video!! thank you akta for this video:)
Awww thank you so much Vanessa! :)
Holy shit subscribed. I love the storytelling, music, cinematics
😭 you are too kind Jay, thank you so much for the lovely comment and for subscribing 🙏
@@Akta youre amazing !!!! (:
Thank you ❤
Such an underrated video!
One of the best videos I've ever watched
Omg thank you so much
You seem like a super cool person! Beautiful inside and out and your content is so inspiring! I wish (manifest) to find a good woman like you and I wish you and your family all the best! 🍀 💕
Awww thank you so much you are so kind!! I hope you find the right person for you 🙏🙏
Thank you thank you ❤ I hope to follow in your footsteps.
That is so sweet 🥹
Akta! I am a big fan of yours! You have always just really called to me and when I started doing Ali’s PTYA, I saw you as part of the cohort and that was really cool. I’m so grateful to Ali for helping give me the confidence to start my channel and putting myself out there. Although I am an attorney in Hollywood and work on high-level deals, I am an introvert at hear but I wanted to create a community and I wanted to give back. I always want to give back. I had a video go viral this week and it was like a dream come true but I’ve already recorded two videos since then and it’s such a dream that I get to be a storyteller now. Because 20 years ago I went to university to be an English major novelist but decided to go to law school because it was practical and as an immigrant, oldest child I had to take care of my parents and siblings. Thank you for all that you do and know that your videos provide so much value and that you are amazing for putting yourself out there. ❤❤You have a lot of fans-keep going!
Omg thank you so so much for this lovely comment 🥹❤️ it’s so nice to have another PTYA-er here and congrats on your viral video/growth 🙌🏼🎉 I can definitely relate to what you said about choosing a practical career, and I’m so glad for you that you get to use some of the skills now that you’ve always wanted to use 🤗 thanks so much for watching this video ❤️
@@Akta omg. So tickled to hear back from you. If you ever talk to Ali, please let him know that I said thank you. I don’t seem to have a way to contact him directly but it’s fine. I hope he knows that I am grateful. I’m grateful to creators like you who have shown new creators the way! Can’t wait to see all your future content. Sending you lots of love. ❤️❤️
This was such a great video akta! I really loved the message of this video💙
I wish I wasn't financially dependent on my asian parents. They always disapprove of me and my dreams but I do know that some things take time but it will be worth it:)
Thank you so much Maki, I hope you’re able to go after your dreams :)
Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️
Thanks for watching ❤️
Dear Akta,
This video is a masterpiece. My first introduction to you and your channel was through Elizabeth during one of our classes in cohort 5 PTYA.
I am so glad you put yourself out there. Thank you for sharing with us your work and life. Also thank you for today's video.🙏🙏🙏
Awww thank you so much Chinyere! I’m so grateful to Liz for introducing my channel to your cohort, that’s so nice of her! 🥹 I really appreciate you watching my videos still and leaving behind such lovely comments, it really pushes me to keep going 🤗
Such an inspiring video. I think this is one of my favorite videos you've made, and I've been watching you from the beginning. 😊 I connected with almost everything you said, to the point where it made me want to tear up. Thank you Akta, for putting yourself out there, and inspiring us to do the same. ❤️
Omg thank you so much Jessica! It’s so nice that you’ve been here from the start, I’m so grateful! And I love that this is one of your favourites because it was so fun to make too ❤️
Omg thank you so much Jessica! It’s so nice that you’ve been here from the start, I’m so grateful! And I love that this is one of your favourites because it was so fun to make too ❤️
@@Akta I think I started following when you had maybe 600-700 followers? Or less? I cant remember honestly, but it was a lot less than where you are now! Kudos to you and all your hard work! ❤☺
Content creation is a tough business but imho well worth it. Thanks for uploading this video amongst others - really enjoying this channel lately.
It is super tough, a lot harder than it looks on the outside 😅 it’s definitely worth it, the scale on which you can connect with others is unmatched! I really appreciate you saying this 🤗
@@Akta I've created content for the past 5 years, the filming takes like couple hours but the editing takes forever omfg. Especially if you want to put titles, effects etc. It's not a hobby for the faint hearted 🤣
@@YZsTravelAdventures I hear you on the time spent editing 😅
Another great video!
Very engaging and enjoyable.
Love the ending. Made me laugh out loud. B 😀
Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much for watching and your comments :) I agree there’s definitely an element of privilege here (which is true of all my videos really) and I’ve made a disclaimer about that in the description of this video in particular. I hope this video still gave you some reassurance 🙏
Such a great video! I have started my youtube channel 2 months ago and it's really scary but also exciting!
This year I realised exactly what you are talking about: *if you put yourself out there there's a chance you will get the life you dream of, and if you don't there us the certainty that you won't* 🤍
love the Steve Jobs quote - such an inspiring video
It’s one of my favourite quotes :)
thank you🌷
Thank you for your courage ❤
Thanks for watching Raymond 🤗
I loved this video❤️your heart is made of gold ❤️🥰💓🫶
Thank you so much lovely 🥰❤️
😭😭girl this is going to make me cry , I just started my TY channel and feel this same exact way 😭😭🙏🏼 Bless 💖🙏🏼😭
Omg I’m so glad you related to this Marbie!! ❤️ good luck with your channel ☺️
How do you make such high quality videos? This is very good.
Thank you so much for this comment ☺️
Ahhh loved this video! I relate so much to it
Yay I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I saw one of the comments I made from a year ago under one of your videos and it served as an instant reminder of how much I changed, so I though I would comment on this one because perhaps I'll stubble on this comment in the future and reflect back on who I was in this current moment.
I have wanted to start making education content on youtube for over 3 years now but never actually did. I decided that I want to start to do so after I finish submitting my application for university, and if no one sees the content then so be it. I definitely am the kind of person that looks at other peoples' lives and wonder if I could be them - perhaps not because they are more fortunate than me or have brighter futures than I might but just because they've been through more than I have been. Perhaps it's one of my mum's friends whose already married and has kids, her life seems to be sorted for her, or it's a child who can still play and not worry about having responsibilities and stress, or it's my younger self that could've done more or taken different choices in her life. Perhaps it's me mourning for my younger self and her decisions, I want to be her, yet the more I grow up the more I want to go back to the day or week or year before to make things right.
I am currently on a gap year and I don't know if it was the right decision to take. I am reapplying to Medicine yet I am unsure it is what I really want to do, or if I will even be getting in. I feel stressed about the quality of my application but more scared that it was because I didn't try hard enough, because I didn't study enough, or because I didn't plan well enough. I know that no matter what maybe it was meant to be. Maybe I will look back at this comment and think that taking a gap year was the best decision of my life or that not getting into medicine was better than getting into it. Perhaps everything will somehow work out and I will understand that every decision I took made me who I am and that I could also make different decisions to change parts I may dislike about myself.
To comfort myself I like to think that my future, older self had somehow figured out how to travel back in time and change the past to make all the right choices, and that she had chosen to come to this moment - today, right now. It's comforting to know that I could still make a difference in my life and that no matter what that everything could fall into place. Life will keep on going no matter what choices I make or how much work I do or how much I stress about what I am and what I am not doing - life will carry on.
If anyone read this I'm sorry about how long it was pahahhahh but I hope you enjoyed!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts Monya, it actually reminded me of some of the thoughts I had in my last video (to anyone feeling lost). The thing that I’ve come to realise is that I need to start valuing my present self more than my future/past self who don’t exist- it’s my present self that can make the best decisions because only I know what I want/need/value right now. So the choices you’re making now - if they’re what you really want, then you don’t have to worry about if you change those in the future, because at any one time you’re just valuing your present self enough to do what she wants :)
Awesome video, Akta! Best wishes :)
