How has aging felt for you? What is some advice you would offer to others on getting older? Everyone has a different perspective and I know my audience is extremely varied in age. If you feel comfortable, share your thoughts and feelings as a response to this comment. I look forward to reading everyone's responses. ❤️
This is not related but I think you are incorrect about your sun sign. Because my bday is 29th of June and I am a Cancer. If you were born on 3rd/4th of July you should be a Cancer as well not a Gemini 💖
As I'm getting older I'm more and more in my body and anchored in reality. It feels really good. I've always felt like I was floating around and could not really connect with what surrounded me. Doing exercises, drawing, creating help me on a daily basis to achieve this feeling of connection. I'm less and less in PTSD states and I know how to accept all of my emotions and my anxiety. Thank you so much for the space that you create Julia. I've been following you for one year now and I really appreciate coming back to it. Lots of love
@@christelle9122 I can definitely relate to feelings of depersonalization and find relief from similar outlets. Thank you so much for sharing, and fo your support. Happy to have people like you here! ❤️
I’m 22.5, and since I turned 20, time has just been moving faster than ever. It genuinely scares me. My therapist said it’s probably me just changing my perspective as I age, but it scares the shit outta me. It feels like there’s no time to prioritize myself and have enough time to enjoy life.
I’m 38...thought I would be married with kids a house, and a dog. I have none of those things...but I AM HAPPY, healthy and thriving. Life is a wonderful journey. Happy Birthday 💃🏽
Oh boy, reading your comment makes me want to quit my job and be traveling like crazy and spent all my money. Just finished an extremely busy day at work, ridiculously tried so hard to impress nobody. The anxiety comes from knowing that I’m wasting my time but not brave enough to break through.
It's great that you find life to be a wonderful journey. I wish i could agree......but I can't. Life has been the opposite for me. It's been a journey, but far from wonderful.
I was supremely fit when I got a rare auto immune disease at 37. Then breast cancer at 39. Happy to be alive after all of it but was hard being old before my time. I am 53 now and very glad to still be here. So my age is something I don’t struggle with anymore.
Not to fangirl here but you have been a huge influence in changing the way I've thought about leaving my 20s and entering my 30s. I'm 25 and started getting scared thinking my twenties are supposed to be the best years of my life and they're already half over and what if I'm wasting them? But you make 30 look SO cool. You're always growing and learning and exploring, always on Instagram dancing, never trying to be something you're not... it's making me look forward to getting older and understanding myself more.
Don’t!! I’m the same age, turning 26 in a few weeks and I always wanted to be in my thirties. Every older woman in my life said their thirties and forties were the best in their life. Their careers were in full swing, their marriages were usually solid and they had the $ to have fun and travel! :)
Amanda Leah my thought exactly, people are too obsessed with age these days. I’m 45 and I feel great both in body and mind. I know women (for some reason it’s always women who goes crazy over aging) who are in their early 20’s and they talk about getting botox to get rid of the tiny wrinkles around their eyes. I got very few wrinkles, and it’s NOT due to me injecting poison into my face, I have just stayed out of the sun for most of my adult life, it’s as simple as that. Relax, love yourself, eat healthy and you’ll be fine.
I agree! I think the issue is that women are still mostly praised for their youthful beauty and when they stop being in their early 20s, it can be difficult to not be scared of being perceived differently (in a negative way)
When i turned 50 i felt like my life would be over. The birthday came and went . . . and i felt the same as when i was 49! Its just a number, believe me, im still 17 in my mind. The thing i will say though, is that life passes by so quickly. I don't know how the years have flown by so quickly, so . . . make sure you live every moment, make memories. Log memories ( photos, vids etc) Im now starting to worry about dying (yes) and feel like i should make memories for my husband when i am gone! Every moment is precious. It goes by so quickly. Make sure you live it ❤
Tokyo Rose Hello, you are so right about being 17 in your mind, it seems to me we all stop at a mental age at some point, mentally I feel 25, unfortunately my mind thinks my body is 17 with the stupid things it thinks I can and do do, but the fact is I’m 52 and I don’t know how I got here, it seems to have happened so fast. Make all the memories you can, put yourself in the pictures, make sure you’re together, tomorrow’s are never promised. I lost my wife of 27 years last February and I would give anything just to see her one more time. Julia there are chapters to your life that you can’t imagine, things that haven’t happened yet that will change your life in wonderful ways just wait and see. And if one day you do decide to become a mother just know this you’ll be a great one.
@@christophersz I am so sorry you lost your wife. We are at that really strange age where you suddenly realise your friends are dying one by one. To lose a partner of over 27 years is just heartbreaking. The years fly by so quickly you don't even realise you are aging! You know what i mean about memories being important. Again, i am so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm turning 26 in a month and as stupid as it sounds, 25 hit me so hard last year. I've recently become obsessed in my fear of aging and feeling like I'm wasting my 20s being depressed, etc. I LOVE seeing people thriving in their 30s and 40s... gives me hope that the best is yet to come.
Hey. I posted a comment earlier about how I am 19 going on 20 this November. And I am excited but nervous about fulfilling my purpose and my goals. I'm taking it one day at atime..something I've learned though is that everything is completely up to you and your divine timing. And you can create the life you desire to live through your thoughts and actions. So I hope that the depression funk goes away for you so that your not creating it in life. I heard 26 is a very fun time lol
That’s funny cause I feel like 25 felt like a mid life crisis for me. Now I’m turning 40 next year and I feel and look healthier than I did at 25. I take better care of myself and I’m happier. My 30’s were better than my 20’s. It’s up to you to make your life great. Choose happiness and sanity. That’s what I would tell my younger self lol
Reporting from the sixth decade of life. Everyone is on their own path, but the best things I did in my 30's: get super super fit and healthy; this carries you theough the, um, changes 😜 in decades to come. I'm also grateful for having had babies in my very early 30s; the body is resilient, energy levels are high for active, fun parenting, and it allows for a delightful renaissance, both personal and in your relationship in your 50s, when, if you're lucky you still feel young ❤
I love your outlook Julia. I’m 42 and I can say that when I was in my 20’s I was so scared of going into my 30’s. During my 30’s I had the best time of my life, I felt better about me - how I looked, how I felt and I started to not care what other people thought. I became truly comfortable in my own skin. Time seems to pass by faster and faster as we get older so really being in the moment, being present, and taking all that happens as a lesson in life is so important. Life is truly what you make it. Happy belated birthday! ☺️🎉
I just turned 33 I've got a 10 month old and a husband whom are my absolute life. My advice would be to just be present and in the moment even if it's so small. Don't sweat anything in life because tomorrow is never promised and yesterday is the past. Everyone is beautiful in their own right and you owe it to yourself to create your own path and story. Don't be affraid yet don't be too cautious. Mostly never regret anything because your choices have made you you. Always remember that you are deeply loved and and appreciated and to always walk your own path cos noone can walk it for you.
I love you voice so much. I too have a very monotone voice and often hear from people that I sound uninterested and apathetic but it’s literally just my voice. But hearing your voice and liking it gives me hope.
Turning 25 was the hardest EVER. It’s the first year I’ve ever had to truly think about aging and being too old for certain people, activities, bars, etc. a lot of people in my life are marrying and having children and me on the other hand, leaving a long term relationship and essentially starting over, it’s been a full quarter life crisis this year for me!! But as the months go by I am more accepting and calm about it. I don’t want to waste any time because as you say it’s so fleeting and precious!! Thanks for sharing Julia, you always have such a refreshing perspective ♥️ happy belated!
There’s beauty in every age. Embrace what time has done to the body & immerse the mind of life’s past experiences. Reflect & grow, age brings wisdom. 🌹
I'm 19 about to hit my 20s this November. Super psyched but I also feel like I should be doing more. My 20s I really want to set the foundation for myself. Become everything I ever wanted to be and more. I feel positive about my future especially because it's just me to look after. I'm dedicated to bettering myself and giving myself the best one I can live. And if you are reading this say that line out loud and speak out into the universe!!! Anyone want to chat and give me some helpful tips and advice ❤❤🤗
Lee Roquemore haha!! ❤️ I don’t want to be 25, and I’m 26 in a few weeks. :p I’m still in grad school, I want to be in my career and I want to have more $ to travel 😂
I'm currently 32 and was just thinking how fast time flies. I feel like I was a teenager not so long ago. It made me nostalgic, but also grateful for the things that I've been able to experience.
We have the same birthdate! This is amazing, I love you even more! I am now 32, and feel like a fine wine (cliché, I know), but honestly, I just love myself more the older I get.
Happy birthday!! Gotta say when I turned 30 it was like a light turned on. I stopped caring about what other people thought, started dying my hair, pierced my nose, bought a house, changed jobs - living my life for me! 💓
As a 32 year old lady (almost 33!) I have never looked better, never felt as mentally strong and at peace now, nor had such a meaningful purpose in life. Yes my back hurts 🤣 but yoga helps.... And good face cream lol. Happy Birthday beautiful ❤️
Happy belated birthday Julia :) I'm turning 24 in September. I've always heard positive things about being in your 30's, especially for women. I seriously can't wait until I reach 30, and people think I'm weird for wanting to be 30 already. Because so far, my twenties haven't seemed as great as every other 20-something-year-old around me feels.
When I was younger I was definitely afraid of aging. Now that I am getting very close to 30 I can really relate to you saying you feel prettier. I feel prettier on the inside. I have done so much soul work and I believe it shines through to my outside layer. With each year passing I have realized how important it is to take care of my mental health first before anything else💚🌿 Also I loved this vlog and thank you for sharing your bday with us. I was like holding my breath when you taste tested the yogurt .. I’ve been wanting to try it as well and the price has turned me away. 😘🥰♥️
Thank you for choosing a fair hotel! I used to work for the union that represents workers at the Madonna Inn. I've never been there personally but the union office has great pictures of when workers were organizing💪🏼 Hope to go there one day, it looks amazing! Happy belated birthday!
I showed my husband Nick when he was doing the coffee thing and he was like... “That guy is living his life right!” Lol so love from another coffee fiend
I’m so happy to hear that you are feeling better every year, I look forward to my thirties as I’ve heard that it’s a magical time when you finally start truly feeling at home in your body. I’m turning 28 and trying to cultivate that mind set by practicing self care and your videos are always such a great way for me to relax and get centered. 🖤💆🏼♀️
The final advise! Thank you for those words and your honesty! You’re an incredible human and watching your videos certainly made me learn a lot about self love and acceptance. Happy late birthday and thank you for sharing your time with us♥️
Omg so I am on video number five of yours and I keep having these “me too” moments. Not in the serious women’s movement way (although I do unfortunately have relation to that too), but as in, wow, its like watching myself at the age you are. I was making similar vlogs about nearly identical subjects during the same points in life. I have one driving around on my bday you reminded me of and brought up some cook memories. It alsolooks like you drive the same model BMW I used to own and love. And most importantly your favorite place is in my locale. I grew up in Santa Barbara and still live here. Watching your drive up the 154 was like ahhhhh, I love that drive. And the Madonna Inn, yasss.
Would love to hear your thoughts about that electric razor! I havent used one since I was a wee babe but that one looked like quite the upgrade!! Hotel was so cool and i loved this video! I'm so glad you're doing more vlogs. I really enjoy hearing your opinions and views.
Lauren Hansen it’s actually a really cheap electric razor and it’s amazing. I also have a straight razor but I use the electric one when it suits me and it’s been great. I’ve been using it for a few years and would recommend it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0018A32XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZlzgDbXKXXA9X
My father has always rounded it up when January 1 comes. His birthday isn't until August. So he has considered himself 98 since Jan. He tries it on me but I don't go along with it. lol! I will be 67 in September and I am the same person I was at 27, personality wise. Health wise I have some medical issues and a few creaky joints but I'm hanging in there. I am my father's only caregiver but he is not a problem. I felt my age a bit when I retired from 33 years of teaching. I think teaching kept me young because there was never a dull moment. After 7 years of retirement, I still miss it. My advice to everyone: Live everyday to its fullest. Don't limit yourself because you think that's something you shouldn't do at a particular age. And finally, keep looking forward. Don't live in the past.
I don't know what it is about Nick that is so attractive. Not because of his looks although he is very handsome but other than that something i cant quite put my finger on it. Happy late birthday Julia💛💛💛
I love the humor in this. Love when nick makes appearances too! I’m turning 22 in a few weeks and to be honest every since turning 18 for me, I haven’t felt any different. I don’t feel 21 however that is supposed to feel like anyway to someone. I really just feel like I’m living and have made it another year and that’s something to celebrate. I’m curious to see how that could change in the future but I hope I keep this mentality of it. People around me make age a big deal which is probably why I really don’t. When you were talking about how you feel more attractive and prettier I saw how you genuinely meant it with full confidence without hesitation. It’s rare to see someone give themselves a genuine compliment without dismissing it with a joke or brushing it off. Thanks for being you Julia, happy belated birthday you bad ass woman!!!!
Im 24 and will turn 25 at the end of this yr. Depression and phobia of aging really hit me now at 24. I feel and look different and dont accept it. I guess staying young is a stigma thats affecting our society
Marolie Perez believe me, 25 is the same as 24 :p :) but I definitely understand! I actually felt my brain fall into place when it finished the maturity process when I ended 24, and I’m way more chill, calm and happy then before :) I’ll be 26 soon and I’m happy about it actually. I’m closer to creating the life I want (grad school and $ to travel way more haha).
@Мария Юдинцева Hey! Its OKAY. Because you have soooooo much TIME. You have time to create the life you want to live! Through mindset and gaining more knowledge of self. It's never too late for anything. Set goals and accomplish them. You'll feel amazing. I'm 19 about to turn 20 and that's all I'm going to be doing on my 20s. Creating a life worth living ❤🤗
I will be 30 in 58 days! I thought by 30 I would be content and sure of my life choices! I feel more confused than when I was 20! I question everything now from religion, beliefs, stance, ethics, life and daily chores! Back when I was 20, I saw everything as black and white; now people and things are no longer divided by the binary of black and white! However, I am happy that I enter my 30s as a financially independent woman able to rely on herself!
hahaha I am watching Nick sprawled in front of the fireplace and just laughing away with you guys, what a cool tradition and I am "digging" the whole place, how fun! I love it! My thoughts on aging on a separate entry. For me the scary year was 29, and that was because I was young and naive :D your closing statement is so true, you are very wise for such a young person, you are very lucky! For my birthday this year I asked for an Ancestry.com kit, have you ever thought about doing it? Even if you know your parents heritage, there is that of their ancestors. Just thought I'd mention it!
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight ... Ecclesiastes 11:9
Lol I round up too and am a Gemini. I think I just want to look my age because its extremely frustrating to have a 12 year old daughter and everyone thinks she is older than me. (She is very tall, Im petite, and very fair and she is dark haired and tan like her dad) I am much happier in my 30s than any other time in my life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very thought provoking. Im 24 and Im always stressing myself out about not being where I want to be, but its like chill kid. Just enjoy life. When it comes, it comes. Trust the process
so I just recently turned 18 so I have a while till I reach 30 but just wanted to say thank you to you Julia because you have truly been an inspiration for me to become healthier and take care of myself, I mean I’ve yet to change my eating habits and get some exercise done but I’m on my way ( I’ll start next week lol ) but I really do appreciate your videos. I’ve never had anyone who has inspired me to get better. For 18 years old I’m like an old crippled woman and slowly but surely ruining my body (because of the shit I eat and my lack of exercise haha) but really thank u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi... Aging for me is just another single day... I workout... I stay to a strict diet... And watch alot of Asmr of u.. since its wat gets me via the night... Being in your 30 is an adventure... If u keep positivr thoughts... And let go of the past memoirs... Seeya ... Stay positive... Age is just a number...
Happy belated birthday Julia...thanks for being such an important member of the virtual family I've chosen. I may be physically 9 years younger, but I can only aspire to have your level of passion, energy and joie de vivre! 💖💖
I've never catched up your age, and when you told about it in this video, you surprised me ⭐️⭐️ I've always thought you've been 22/23-26/27 or so. So I hope you see that as a compliment ❤️❤️❤️ We all get one DAY older each day. Should we really focus so much on the actual number of years? So many girls and guys that feel mentally bad over the age (number of years). I want all people to feel good ❤️❤️❤️ You're always the amazing and wonderful Julia no matter if you are 30, 31 or more - you're a lovely person! 💗💗💗 Love your handwriting 💖💖 Sooooo much love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tell me about!! I have been in the dating game way longer then I thought I would. But a lot of men these days seem to flaky, indecisive, & emotionally unavailable among other things.
Thank you for the kind words and birthday wishes! All relationships are very challenging and even when you find someone compatible, they take a lot of communication and compromise to work well! On social media, you usually see the most positive & fun parts of relationships so it is easy to covet them. Rest assured even relationships that SEEM easy and largely positive come with many challenges and lots of work! Much love ❤️
I love you Julia you are such an inspiration and good role model! I know I don’t know you but I really think you’re wonderful and I’m glad to have some like you to watch! Happy birthday beautiful💕
Firstly: Happy Birthday! Secondly: Getting older has been...weird. I smoked, drank, did some drugs in my teens and early twenties, all while being very physically active with running, hiking, etc.; I slowed down with the drinking/drugging in my late 20s-early 30s. Quit all of that in my mid-thirties when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that has pretty much taken over my life. I don't regret the drinking/etc., so much as I do the time wasted on a lot of the people I surrounded myself with back then. Those things and those people also led, in part, to my dropping out of college -- which I very much regret. I'll be 40 in just under 2 months and am slowly getting my health back together, but the whole "I'm about to be 40" thing is daunting. I'm reevaluating everything in my life at this point, and it's not fun. Trying to remember that I can't change the past and can only move forward, and that is not always easy. My family has become much more important to me in recent years, I've become less afraid of what people think of me, and at this very second I'm looking forward to 40. I'll probably change back to dreading it by morning, but I'm okay with that. :-)
Fun fact I worked for the actual production place that makes the coconut cult yogurt and I literally HatEd working there. The cleaning and business ethics they used were intense and strange it was literally business just opened up by a bunch of college kids and I think they were just using this old lady’s money :/ they had this crazy strike system if you broke a glass :( and they had “blenders” and just handy people and the blenders literally just made the yogurt and the handy people like me did all the other hard work the dishes the pouring the mechanical mixing . It was not a great system :/ so glad you liked my hometown! Other than my small rant
Wow so crazy! I won't lie, I had a change of heart and actually love the yogurt now... I have been eating a few spoonfuls every day. I'm not down with any form of cruel punishment at work though and not happy to hear that staff was penalized for accidents. It's really interesting to hear about your experience though and I hope you found a new job that feels more fulfilling to you. ❤️
itsblitzzz you answer with such grace and genuine kindness and concern :) it’s so refreshing!!! Yes I have found a better work environment and hopefully that businesses has changed and grown as well . It’s sooo expensive and a lil too chunky for my taste. I think they were so strict about glass breaking because it’s a really tiny work space and they probably don’t wanna get sued if glass gets into the mix
Idk what to say Julia ... just that I'm so grateful to have found you on yt many months ago 🌸 you have inspired me so so much and I have to say a sincere thank you! You and nick are the best, u guys always make me smile :) love u 🌈
Oh my goodness! I love you more each video. I resonate with you so much, it’s incredible. The cat hair all over no matter how many times you sweep? Me. Also Have a chips are the best 👌🏻 I hope you had an amazing birthday! You’re beautiful!
I will be 39 this month and it's incredibly surreal. There are so many feelings I have about it and honestly, it's been difficult too because my life has not gone the way I planned, my story does not look like everyone else's or even the majority & if I'm completely transparent, it led to a serious depression; not aging per say but accepting my story, seeing the positive in my story ,which, has been the most difficult bc it's been punctuated by so much tragedy & loss. I don't speak much about the particulars bc one leads to the next and honestly, it's so crazy that people just kind of wind up jaws dropped, speechless, not sure what to say or do, be happy or sad & it's potentially super awkward. I'm thinking a book might be in my future (seriously actually, it's always something I've wanted to do whether anyone ever reads it or not... it'll cut down on the awkward 1st person story telling... so there's that). Back to aging... Life's a journey. We all take it. It's how we choose to perceive it, interpret it, approach it that actually matters 👈 sounds cliche but it's the most honest thing I have learned and can say about it. Having suffered from crippling depression at times, I feel like I've often cheated myself out of so much bc I didn't want to live it at times but again, that was a part of my journey & now I use those times to reflect on when I want to procrastinate or take the safe road. It's never over (til it's legit over) so never tell yourself you're too old to do anything. F it. Just do it (👈 thx Nike). Superficial bs is exactly what it is. Superficial. There is no one way, no proper way, no chronological way to do anything. Do you. Be you. Focus on what makes you happy, what brings you joy & withhold judgement of others. Aesthetically, eat well but don't deny. Stay active. Be good to your body. Be grateful for good genes (👈 thx mom; that's about all she gave me but it's a goody). Be kind. Love. Be strong but vulnerable.
Growing older has been very depressing for me, I have had a very tough journey in my life. Depression, anxiety and discrimination have been the whole story pretty much. I missed out on many opportunities for love, friendship and joy that most people take for granted. Due to my disability and society just discriminating, I could never experience those moments and I can't get them back now. My mother has struggled so much because she has had to look after me and not have a free life of her own. I'm glad that many others don't feel that way and that many others who hit 30 and higher have had good lives, I certainly would never wish for anyone else to go through what I have gone through. I'll be 35 next month and I'm dreading it truly. 35 years on this world and I have nothing to show for it expect sadness and pain and a whole lot of regret. I don't want to grow old anymore, I want to stop. Sorry this is very dark, but that's how I feel unfortunately. I hope no body else feels like this, that would be terrible.
Happy belated Birthday, Julia 😊 Such a fun vlog. You have such sweet energy between you and Nick, I like how you smile with him. It was satisfying seeing you write, I too leave the hat off the J. My 30's have been my best years. I'm looking forwards to seeing more of your ice skating progress. I'm going to look up Skillshare. Thank you. ❤️
I too get pretty excited about stationary! I love sending thank you cards and get wells :) The best decision of my life was moving with my partner away from LA. The fresh air is enough reason.
How has aging felt for you? What is some advice you would offer to others on getting older? Everyone has a different perspective and I know my audience is extremely varied in age. If you feel comfortable, share your thoughts and feelings as a response to this comment. I look forward to reading everyone's responses. ❤️
This is not related but I think you are incorrect about your sun sign. Because my bday is 29th of June and I am a Cancer. If you were born on 3rd/4th of July you should be a Cancer as well not a Gemini 💖
Oh I just realized this was pre recorded lol
As I'm getting older I'm more and more in my body and anchored in reality. It feels really good. I've always felt like I was floating around and could not really connect with what surrounded me. Doing exercises, drawing, creating help me on a daily basis to achieve this feeling of connection. I'm less and less in PTSD states and I know how to accept all of my emotions and my anxiety. Thank you so much for the space that you create Julia. I've been following you for one year now and I really appreciate coming back to it. Lots of love
@@christelle9122 I can definitely relate to feelings of depersonalization and find relief from similar outlets. Thank you so much for sharing, and fo your support. Happy to have people like you here! ❤️
I’m 22.5, and since I turned 20, time has just been moving faster than ever. It genuinely scares me. My therapist said it’s probably me just changing my perspective as I age, but it scares the shit outta me. It feels like there’s no time to prioritize myself and have enough time to enjoy life.
I’m 38...thought I would be married with kids a house, and a dog. I have none of those things...but I AM HAPPY, healthy and thriving. Life is a wonderful journey. Happy Birthday 💃🏽
Tiffanie Tyler ok but we need to get u that dog though!!!! Thanks girl ❤️
You go!! But I'll recommend a cat 😅
Mellow Vybes it’s only going to get better. I have truly loved my thirties 🥰
Oh boy, reading your comment makes me want to quit my job and be traveling like crazy and spent all my money. Just finished an extremely busy day at work, ridiculously tried so hard to impress nobody. The anxiety comes from knowing that I’m wasting my time but not brave enough to break through.
It's great that you find life to be a wonderful journey. I wish i could agree......but I can't. Life has been the opposite for me. It's been a journey, but far from wonderful.
I was supremely fit when I got a rare auto immune disease at 37. Then breast cancer at 39. Happy to be alive after all of it but was hard being old before my time. I am 53 now and very glad to still be here. So my age is something I don’t struggle with anymore.
shazzabelle123 Happy to have you here. ❤️
Was the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis by any chance ?
same, became ill w/ ME and it puts things in perspective , best of luck to you
Nick buying her the stupid yogurt, single-handedly restored my faith in love.
Not to fangirl here but you have been a huge influence in changing the way I've thought about leaving my 20s and entering my 30s. I'm 25 and started getting scared thinking my twenties are supposed to be the best years of my life and they're already half over and what if I'm wasting them? But you make 30 look SO cool. You're always growing and learning and exploring, always on Instagram dancing, never trying to be something you're not... it's making me look forward to getting older and understanding myself more.
joycapulet thank you so much! Keep up the great work and try not to stress too hard about it ❤️
Don’t!! I’m the same age, turning 26 in a few weeks and I always wanted to be in my thirties. Every older woman in my life said their thirties and forties were the best in their life. Their careers were in full swing, their marriages were usually solid and they had the $ to have fun and travel! :)
30s is still young people should stop associating it with "being old"
Amanda Leah my thought exactly, people are too obsessed with age these days. I’m 45 and I feel great both in body and mind. I know women (for some reason it’s always women who goes crazy over aging) who are in their early 20’s and they talk about getting botox to get rid of the tiny wrinkles around their eyes. I got very few wrinkles, and it’s NOT due to me injecting poison into my face, I have just stayed out of the sun for most of my adult life, it’s as simple as that. Relax, love yourself, eat healthy and you’ll be fine.
They say your as old as you feel. I'm 34 and I do feel old. I wish I could say otherwise, but it's the truth.
ShaunTheCHB i felt old in my 20's and now i feel the same dreaded feeling in my 40's , am sure my mentality is messed up
Elder is a better word.
I agree! I think the issue is that women are still mostly praised for their youthful beauty and when they stop being in their early 20s, it can be difficult to not be scared of being perceived differently (in a negative way)
Nick and his coffee cracked me up...I also love that you wanted expensive yogurt for your bday lol
When i turned 50 i felt like my life would be over. The birthday came and went . . . and i felt the same as when i was 49! Its just a number, believe me, im still 17 in my mind. The thing i will say though, is that life passes by so quickly. I don't know how the years have flown by so quickly, so . . . make sure you live every moment, make memories. Log memories ( photos, vids etc) Im now starting to worry about dying (yes) and feel like i should make memories for my husband when i am gone! Every moment is precious. It goes by so quickly. Make sure you live it ❤
Tokyo Rose Hello, you are so right about being 17 in your mind, it seems to me we all stop at a mental age at some point, mentally I feel 25, unfortunately my mind thinks my body is 17 with the stupid things it thinks I can and do do, but the fact is I’m 52 and I don’t know how I got here, it seems to have happened so fast. Make all the memories you can, put yourself in the pictures, make sure you’re together, tomorrow’s are never promised. I lost my wife of 27 years last February and I would give anything just to see her one more time. Julia there are chapters to your life that you can’t imagine, things that haven’t happened yet that will change your life in wonderful ways just wait and see. And if one day you do decide to become a mother just know this you’ll be a great one.
@@christophersz I am so sorry you lost your wife. We are at that really strange age where you suddenly realise your friends are dying one by one. To lose a partner of over 27 years is just heartbreaking. The years fly by so quickly you don't even realise you are aging! You know what i mean about memories being important. Again, i am so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm turning 26 in a month and as stupid as it sounds, 25 hit me so hard last year. I've recently become obsessed in my fear of aging and feeling like I'm wasting my 20s being depressed, etc. I LOVE seeing people thriving in their 30s and 40s... gives me hope that the best is yet to come.
Hey. I posted a comment earlier about how I am 19 going on 20 this November. And I am excited but nervous about fulfilling my purpose and my goals. I'm taking it one day at atime..something I've learned though is that everything is completely up to you and your divine timing. And you can create the life you desire to live through your thoughts and actions. So I hope that the depression funk goes away for you so that your not creating it in life. I heard 26 is a very fun time lol
SAME.
Maxine Schuldt hahaha 26 yrs old is nothing
That’s funny cause I feel like 25 felt like a mid life crisis for me. Now I’m turning 40 next year and I feel and look healthier than I did at 25. I take better care of myself and I’m happier. My 30’s were better than my 20’s. It’s up to you to make your life great. Choose happiness and sanity. That’s what I would tell my younger self lol
Reporting from the sixth decade of life. Everyone is on their own path, but the best things I did in my 30's: get super super fit and healthy; this carries you theough the, um, changes 😜 in decades to come. I'm also grateful for having had babies in my very early 30s; the body is resilient, energy levels are high for active, fun parenting, and it allows for a delightful renaissance, both personal and in your relationship in your 50s, when, if you're lucky you still feel young ❤
I love your outlook Julia. I’m 42 and I can say that when I was in my 20’s I was so scared of going into my 30’s. During my 30’s I had the best time of my life, I felt better about me - how I looked, how I felt and I started to not care what other people thought. I became truly comfortable in my own skin. Time seems to pass by faster and faster as we get older so really being in the moment, being present, and taking all that happens as a lesson in life is so important. Life is truly what you make it. Happy belated birthday! ☺️🎉
I just turned 33 I've got a 10 month old and a husband whom are my absolute life. My advice would be to just be present and in the moment even if it's so small. Don't sweat anything in life because tomorrow is never promised and yesterday is the past. Everyone is beautiful in their own right and you owe it to yourself to create your own path and story. Don't be affraid yet don't be too cautious. Mostly never regret anything because your choices have made you you. Always remember that you are deeply loved and and appreciated and to always walk your own path cos noone can walk it for you.
Kat Sotiriou 👏 this is awesome! Like a modern day 'Desiderata' 😊
All the clips of Nick grinding his coffee 😆
😆😆
Nick went from never wanting to be in front of the camera to willingly speaking straight to the camera, GO NICK!! 👏🏼👏🏼
I love you voice so much. I too have a very monotone voice and often hear from people that I sound uninterested and apathetic but it’s literally just my voice. But hearing your voice and liking it gives me hope.
People know itsblitzzz from ASMR...
But
I know ASMR from itsblitzzz
Two Cents I know is itsblitzzz from t-shirt modification videos!
Lauren 34567 sweet. Those were good days too
You’re like the cool auntie everyone wants
🥴
Kimberly Orellana you mean sister!! Haha
Turning 25 was the hardest EVER. It’s the first year I’ve ever had to truly think about aging and being too old for certain people, activities, bars, etc. a lot of people in my life are marrying and having children and me on the other hand, leaving a long term relationship and essentially starting over, it’s been a full quarter life crisis this year for me!! But as the months go by I am more accepting and calm about it. I don’t want to waste any time because as you say it’s so fleeting and precious!! Thanks for sharing Julia, you always have such a refreshing perspective ♥️ happy belated!
Which activities do you feel too old for at 25 if I may ask?
So glad to read this! I just turned 25 and watching everyone around me get married/have kids while I'm as single as ever sucks sometimes
Alina C yeah like what? 25 is young af, there’s very few things you’re too old for when you’re in your 20’s
There’s beauty in every age. Embrace what time has done to the body & immerse the mind of life’s past experiences. Reflect & grow, age brings wisdom. 🌹
You're the best and Nick made me laugh with his coffee process
Legend has it that nick is still grinding the coffee to this day 😂
that's not untrue
Two birthdays to think about.
36 and 42
36 you are now 18 twice
42 you are now 21 twice
Zzygyy good god, I turn 36 next week. Never thought of that.
I just turned 21...
I'm 19 about to hit my 20s this November. Super psyched but I also feel like I should be doing more. My 20s I really want to set the foundation for myself. Become everything I ever wanted to be and more. I feel positive about my future especially because it's just me to look after. I'm dedicated to bettering myself and giving myself the best one I can live. And if you are reading this say that line out loud and speak out into the universe!!! Anyone want to chat and give me some helpful tips and advice ❤❤🤗
I'm about to turn 36 next week. I love my 30s, way better than my 20s.
Michelle Me too! My 30’s were MILES better than my 20’s. 😎
Will be 32 at the end of September, but I'm forever 25 baby!😝
Lee Roquemore haha!! ❤️ I don’t want to be 25, and I’m 26 in a few weeks. :p I’m still in grad school, I want to be in my career and I want to have more $ to travel 😂
Wow. Sounds conflicting. Common sense diet and excersice keeps us young🍻
Lee Roquemore I am turning 32 on July 21st ... the sad thing is I got my first gray hair 😭 but the good thing is I can still pass for early 20s 🤗
@@stinamariee6002 Dye it😎
Me too
your phyical appearance certainly doesn't reflect your age, but i feel like your mind goes beyond your age,
Fav person on RUclips & in life
i'm living for these 20+ min vlogs please keep doing them!
Paloma Sapien thank you !!😄
I'm currently 32 and was just thinking how fast time flies. I feel like I was a teenager not so long ago. It made me nostalgic, but also grateful for the things that I've been able to experience.
We have the same birthdate! This is amazing, I love you even more! I am now 32, and feel like a fine wine (cliché, I know), but honestly, I just love myself more the older I get.
Happy birthday!! Gotta say when I turned 30 it was like a light turned on. I stopped caring about what other people thought, started dying my hair, pierced my nose, bought a house, changed jobs - living my life for me! 💓
As a 32 year old lady (almost 33!) I have never looked better, never felt as mentally strong and at peace now, nor had such a meaningful purpose in life. Yes my back hurts 🤣 but yoga helps.... And good face cream lol. Happy Birthday beautiful ❤️
Happy belated birthday Julia :)
I'm turning 24 in September. I've always heard positive things about being in your 30's, especially for women. I seriously can't wait until I reach 30, and people think I'm weird for wanting to be 30 already. Because so far, my twenties haven't seemed as great as every other 20-something-year-old around me feels.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm really honored to have my music featured in in. Much love! Can't wait for more ❤️❤️
Ryan Little Always a fan of your music and grateful to use it! Thank you so much Ryan!
Really good music!
Nick is a total mood. Loved this blog and the two of you together are so cute and funny 😍
Happy Belated Birthday Julia !!!
Today was such a negative day for me, but then I saw this video and it made me smile. Thanks Julia💜
I actually LOL ‘d so hard at the hand grinder that’s an ACTUAL representation 🙏🏼 god bless
When I was younger I was definitely afraid of aging. Now that I am getting very close to 30 I can really relate to you saying you feel prettier. I feel prettier on the inside. I have done so much soul work and I believe it shines through to my outside layer. With each year passing I have realized how important it is to take care of my mental health first before anything else💚🌿
Also I loved this vlog and thank you for sharing your bday with us.
I was like holding my breath when you taste tested the yogurt .. I’ve been wanting to try it as well and the price has turned me away.
😘🥰♥️
👀 I never click faster than i do when i get your notifications. I love this channel🤗❤
You are so wise and absolutely inspiring. Thank you, Julia
Nick is hilarious 😂😂😂 the whole video he had me dying
Thank you for choosing a fair hotel! I used to work for the union that represents workers at the Madonna Inn. I've never been there personally but the union office has great pictures of when workers were organizing💪🏼 Hope to go there one day, it looks amazing!
Happy belated birthday!
I agree, I don't fear aging....only dying... our fear does help us live more full lives, and be grateful for each day, and live in the now.
I showed my husband Nick when he was doing the coffee thing and he was like... “That guy is living his life right!” Lol so love from another coffee fiend
TwoFluffyKawaiiGirls it’s not untrue 🤣
I throughly enjoyed this vlog, you're absolutely glowing and I love that you asked for expensive yogurt for your birthday. Stay wonderful x
I’m so happy to hear that you are feeling better every year, I look forward to my thirties as I’ve heard that it’s a magical time when you finally start truly feeling at home in your body. I’m turning 28 and trying to cultivate that mind set by practicing self care and your videos are always such a great way for me to relax and get centered. 🖤💆🏼♀️
I honestly love watching you when I’m feeling so low and exhausted from life. I truly love ya Julia. you make dealing so much better
Loving your words of wisdom! "Spend your time wisely" rings true, as well as family becoming more precious and important. Happy belated birthday!
whats that noise? im just grinding my coffee go back to sleep. haha
You are so amazing thank you for sharing your life with us as a Gemini this video makes me feel so much hope. Thank you
The final advise! Thank you for those words and your honesty! You’re an incredible human and watching your videos certainly made me learn a lot about self love and acceptance. Happy late birthday and thank you for sharing your time with us♥️
Diana Ochoa thank you so much, Diana ❤️
Omg so I am on video number five of yours and I keep having these “me too” moments. Not in the serious women’s movement way (although I do unfortunately have relation to that too), but as in, wow, its like watching myself at the age you are. I was making similar vlogs about nearly identical subjects during the same points in life. I have one driving around on my bday you reminded me of and brought up some cook memories. It alsolooks like you drive the same model BMW I used to own and love. And most importantly your favorite place is in my locale. I grew up in Santa Barbara and still live here. Watching your drive up the 154 was like ahhhhh, I love that drive. And the Madonna Inn, yasss.
Would love to hear your thoughts about that electric razor! I havent used one since I was a wee babe but that one looked like quite the upgrade!! Hotel was so cool and i loved this video! I'm so glad you're doing more vlogs. I really enjoy hearing your opinions and views.
Lauren Hansen it’s actually a really cheap electric razor and it’s amazing. I also have a straight razor but I use the electric one when it suits me and it’s been great. I’ve been using it for a few years and would recommend it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0018A32XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZlzgDbXKXXA9X
My father has always rounded it up when January 1 comes. His birthday isn't until August. So he has considered himself 98 since Jan. He tries it on me but I don't go along with it. lol! I will be 67 in September and I am the same person I was at 27, personality wise. Health wise I have some medical issues and a few creaky joints but I'm hanging in there. I am my father's only caregiver but he is not a problem. I felt my age a bit when I retired from 33 years of teaching. I think teaching kept me young because there was never a dull moment. After 7 years of retirement, I still miss it. My advice to everyone: Live everyday to its fullest. Don't limit yourself because you think that's something you shouldn't do at a particular age. And finally, keep looking forward. Don't live in the past.
What an awesome birthday!
I actually cracked up when you woke up the next morning and Nick was there grinding his coffee again
I don't know what it is about Nick that is so attractive. Not because of his looks although he is very handsome but other than that something i cant quite put my finger on it. Happy late birthday Julia💛💛💛
Yuni Vega-Contreras ☺️☺️ maybe his ability to come through with the yogurt!
@@itsblitzzz Could be😂😂
You guys are just genuine and refreshing compare to what you normally find on you tube. love the vlogs and Nic is so much fun !!!
I love the humor in this. Love when nick makes appearances too!
I’m turning 22 in a few weeks and to be honest every since turning 18 for me, I haven’t felt any different. I don’t feel 21 however that is supposed to feel like anyway to someone. I really just feel like I’m living and have made it another year and that’s something to celebrate. I’m curious to see how that could change in the future but I hope I keep this mentality of it. People around me make age a big deal which is probably why I really don’t. When you were talking about how you feel more attractive and prettier I saw how you genuinely meant it with full confidence without hesitation. It’s rare to see someone give themselves a genuine compliment without dismissing it with a joke or brushing it off. Thanks for being you Julia, happy belated birthday you bad ass woman!!!!
Im 24 and will turn 25 at the end of this yr. Depression and phobia of aging really hit me now at 24. I feel and look different and dont accept it. I guess staying young is a stigma thats affecting our society
Marolie Perez believe me, 25 is the same as 24 :p :) but I definitely understand! I actually felt my brain fall into place when it finished the maturity process when I ended 24, and I’m way more chill, calm and happy then before :) I’ll be 26 soon and I’m happy about it actually. I’m closer to creating the life I want (grad school and $ to travel way more haha).
@Мария Юдинцева oh a lot of us can relate to that feeling so sorry 😧
@Мария Юдинцева Hey! Its OKAY. Because you have soooooo much TIME. You have time to create the life you want to live! Through mindset and gaining more knowledge of self. It's never too late for anything. Set goals and accomplish them. You'll feel amazing. I'm 19 about to turn 20 and that's all I'm going to be doing on my 20s. Creating a life worth living ❤🤗
This video is ASMR without being soft spoken or whispered. Not sure how you do it, but PLEASE keep going!!!
Enjoy your 30s. And it gets better. 40 is awesome. (Honestly!) I have a teenager & a toddler...! Life is one big fantastic curveball. I'm loving it 😉
I will be 30 in 58 days! I thought by 30 I would be content and sure of my life choices! I feel more confused than when I was 20! I question everything now from religion, beliefs, stance, ethics, life and daily chores! Back when I was 20, I saw everything as black and white; now people and things are no longer divided by the binary of black and white! However, I am happy that I enter my 30s as a financially independent woman able to rely on herself!
love this. each decade only gets better
hahaha I am watching Nick sprawled in front of the fireplace and just laughing away with you guys, what a cool tradition and I am "digging" the whole place, how fun! I love it! My thoughts on aging on a separate entry. For me the scary year was 29, and that was because I was young and naive :D your closing statement is so true, you are very wise for such a young person, you are very lucky! For my birthday this year I asked for an Ancestry.com kit, have you ever thought about doing it? Even if you know your parents heritage, there is that of their ancestors. Just thought I'd mention it!
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight ...
Ecclesiastes 11:9
Thank you so much for putting the music in your descriptions!!
Lol I round up too and am a Gemini. I think I just want to look my age because its extremely frustrating to have a 12 year old daughter and everyone thinks she is older than me. (She is very tall, Im petite, and very fair and she is dark haired and tan like her dad) I am much happier in my 30s than any other time in my life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very thought provoking. Im 24 and Im always stressing myself out about not being where I want to be, but its like chill kid. Just enjoy life. When it comes, it comes. Trust the process
You look freaking amazing! I could have never guessed your age. I thought you were 25
so I just recently turned 18 so I have a while till I reach 30 but just wanted to say thank you to you Julia because you have truly been an inspiration for me to become healthier and take care of myself, I mean I’ve yet to change my eating habits and get some exercise done but I’m on my way ( I’ll start next week lol ) but I really do appreciate your videos. I’ve never had anyone who has inspired me to get better. For 18 years old I’m like an old crippled woman and slowly but surely ruining my body (because of the shit I eat and my lack of exercise haha) but really thank u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you made this video and I had the opportunity to watch it
Hi... Aging for me is just another single day... I workout... I stay to a strict diet... And watch alot of Asmr of u.. since its wat gets me via the night...
Being in your 30 is an adventure... If u keep positivr thoughts... And let go of the past memoirs... Seeya ... Stay positive... Age is just a number...
Happy belated birthday Julia...thanks for being such an important member of the virtual family I've chosen. I may be physically 9 years younger, but I can only aspire to have your level of passion, energy and joie de vivre! 💖💖
I've never catched up your age, and when you told about it in this video, you surprised me ⭐️⭐️ I've always thought you've been 22/23-26/27 or so. So I hope you see that as a compliment ❤️❤️❤️
We all get one DAY older each day. Should we really focus so much on the actual number of years? So many girls and guys that feel mentally bad over the age (number of years). I want all people to feel good ❤️❤️❤️
You're always the amazing and wonderful Julia no matter if you are 30, 31 or more - you're a lovely person! 💗💗💗
Love your handwriting 💖💖
Sooooo much love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday Julia!!! You deserve it! Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful details with us!!!
I would love to built a relationship like yours, and find such a great partner as Nick is. Happy birthday Julia, your such an inspiration 💪
Tell me about!! I have been in the dating game way longer then I thought I would. But a lot of men these days seem to flaky, indecisive, & emotionally unavailable among other things.
Thank you for the kind words and birthday wishes! All relationships are very challenging and even when you find someone compatible, they take a lot of communication and compromise to work well! On social media, you usually see the most positive & fun parts of relationships so it is easy to covet them. Rest assured even relationships that SEEM easy and largely positive come with many challenges and lots of work! Much love ❤️
I love you Julia you are such an inspiration and good role model! I know I don’t know you but I really think you’re wonderful and I’m glad to have some like you to watch! Happy birthday beautiful💕
I adore writing thank you cards. I buy them a lot from Anthropologie. I ordered that task pad. So simple.
Nick is so lucky to have you and you look so happy with him ♥️ I’m so happy for you guys!
You’re amazing Julia , I’m 33 and everything you said is on point.
Happy birthday and thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Wow, that hotel is just gorgeous! Right down to the key cards! Love it. happy birthday Julia :)
Firstly: Happy Birthday!
Secondly: Getting older has been...weird. I smoked, drank, did some drugs in my teens and early twenties, all while being very physically active with running, hiking, etc.; I slowed down with the drinking/drugging in my late 20s-early 30s. Quit all of that in my mid-thirties when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that has pretty much taken over my life. I don't regret the drinking/etc., so much as I do the time wasted on a lot of the people I surrounded myself with back then. Those things and those people also led, in part, to my dropping out of college -- which I very much regret.
I'll be 40 in just under 2 months and am slowly getting my health back together, but the whole "I'm about to be 40" thing is daunting. I'm reevaluating everything in my life at this point, and it's not fun. Trying to remember that I can't change the past and can only move forward, and that is not always easy. My family has become much more important to me in recent years, I've become less afraid of what people think of me, and at this very second I'm looking forward to 40. I'll probably change back to dreading it by morning, but I'm okay with that. :-)
Fun fact I worked for the actual production place that makes the coconut cult yogurt and I literally HatEd working there. The cleaning and business ethics they used were intense and strange it was literally business just opened up by a bunch of college kids and I think they were just using this old lady’s money :/ they had this crazy strike system if you broke a glass :( and they had “blenders” and just handy people and the blenders literally just made the yogurt and the handy people like me did all the other hard work the dishes the pouring the mechanical mixing . It was not a great system :/ so glad you liked my hometown! Other than my small rant
Wow so crazy! I won't lie, I had a change of heart and actually love the yogurt now... I have been eating a few spoonfuls every day. I'm not down with any form of cruel punishment at work though and not happy to hear that staff was penalized for accidents. It's really interesting to hear about your experience though and I hope you found a new job that feels more fulfilling to you. ❤️
itsblitzzz you answer with such grace and genuine kindness and concern :) it’s so refreshing!!! Yes I have found a better work environment and hopefully that businesses has changed and grown as well . It’s sooo expensive and a lil too chunky for my taste. I think they were so strict about glass breaking because it’s a really tiny work space and they probably don’t wanna get sued if glass gets into the mix
Favourite RUclipsr❤️ also, Happy Birthday Julia x
Another exquisite video, thank you Julia x
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday, girl!! Love ya! ❤️🥰 I’m 30 too!
Julia, I'd give you two likes for this video if I could. That summary at the end, lady. Truth. And Happy Birthday!
Leslie Ann thank you so much 🥰❤️
Nicks mug 👍🏻😂. Happy birthday! 💜
Lol, "I feel like this wil...." Nick " give you the shits" 🤣😂😂😂 I'm 😱, bravo👏👏👏👏👏🥇🥇
Idk what to say Julia ... just that I'm so grateful to have found you on yt many months ago 🌸 you have inspired me so so much and I have to say a sincere thank you! You and nick are the best, u guys always make me smile :) love u 🌈
I love your videos so much, they are so stress relieving and I love your chill personality and positive presence 💕 happy birthday!
Also your lips and eyebrows.. pff!! Soo beautiful. Love you girl
Just turned 31 too... but I’m a Taurus so a few weeks older than you. Been loving your videos the last few months! Welcome to 31!
Oh my goodness! I love you more each video. I resonate with you so much, it’s incredible. The cat hair all over no matter how many times you sweep? Me. Also Have a chips are the best 👌🏻 I hope you had an amazing birthday! You’re beautiful!
The best chips ever! Thank you so much!
I will be 39 this month and it's incredibly surreal. There are so many feelings I have about it and honestly, it's been difficult too because my life has not gone the way I planned, my story does not look like everyone else's or even the majority & if I'm completely transparent, it led to a serious depression; not aging per say but accepting my story, seeing the positive in my story ,which, has been the most difficult bc it's been punctuated by so much tragedy & loss.
I don't speak much about the particulars bc one leads to the next and honestly, it's so crazy that people just kind of wind up jaws dropped, speechless, not sure what to say or do, be happy or sad & it's potentially super awkward. I'm thinking a book might be in my future (seriously actually, it's always something I've wanted to do whether anyone ever reads it or not... it'll cut down on the awkward 1st person story telling... so there's that).
Back to aging...
Life's a journey. We all take it. It's how we choose to perceive it, interpret it, approach it that actually matters 👈 sounds cliche but it's the most honest thing I have learned and can say about it.
Having suffered from crippling depression at times, I feel like I've often cheated myself out of so much bc I didn't want to live it at times but again, that was a part of my journey & now I use those times to reflect on when I want to procrastinate or take the safe road.
It's never over (til it's legit over) so never tell yourself you're too old to do anything. F it. Just do it (👈 thx Nike).
Superficial bs is exactly what it is. Superficial. There is no one way, no proper way, no chronological way to do anything.
Do you. Be you. Focus on what makes you happy, what brings you joy & withhold judgement of others.
Aesthetically, eat well but don't deny. Stay active. Be good to your body. Be grateful for good genes (👈 thx mom; that's about all she gave me but it's a goody).
Be kind. Love. Be strong but vulnerable.
Growing older has been very depressing for me, I have had a very tough journey in my life. Depression, anxiety and discrimination have been the whole story pretty much. I missed out on many opportunities for love, friendship and joy that most people take for granted. Due to my disability and society just discriminating, I could never experience those moments and I can't get them back now. My mother has struggled so much because she has had to look after me and not have a free life of her own.
I'm glad that many others don't feel that way and that many others who hit 30 and higher have had good lives, I certainly would never wish for anyone else to go through what I have gone through.
I'll be 35 next month and I'm dreading it truly. 35 years on this world and I have nothing to show for it expect sadness and pain and a whole lot of regret. I don't want to grow old anymore, I want to stop.
Sorry this is very dark, but that's how I feel unfortunately. I hope no body else feels like this, that would be terrible.
I wonder how do they clean those hotel rooms😁 so many places for dust
Happy belated Birthday, Julia 😊 Such a fun vlog. You have such sweet energy between you and Nick, I like how you smile with him.
It was satisfying seeing you write, I too leave the hat off the J.
My 30's have been my best years. I'm looking forwards to seeing more of your ice skating progress. I'm going to look up Skillshare. Thank you. ❤️
I too get pretty excited about stationary! I love sending thank you cards and get wells :)
The best decision of my life was moving with my partner away from LA. The fresh air is enough reason.
I love to know that there is someone who does not need special birthday gifts and is happy just with some yummy food😊 happy Bday! 🎂😊
