Thank you everyone for the overwhelming amount of support! I'm really glad that I was able to resonate with many of you and that my message reached out to you. It's really crazy how I have almost 400 subscribers now
@truestrose234 you don't even in the most meaningless times I was lazy too but there is always hope stay strong and never give up let peace be upon you! ❤
@user-3fd7fdHro2 Turn the music down... I love you so much. Inner beauty is the most important. Have a good day, and let peace and love be upon you! Always have hope! Never give up on life and what you love doing! ❤️ I wrote this with my own two hands but please don't be ashamed for being lazy.
i once saw a video that said, “would you judge a frog for resting atop a lilypad? a flower for enjoying the sun?” the same should apply to human beings. a lot of us are conditioned to have a shame based motivation, which essentially keeps us in an endless cycle of either overworking ourselves until we become burnt out, and then make us too scared to begin towards our goals.
@@Woowie5542 That is a horrible message dog wtf, I didn't feel shame when being lazy for a while and all that got me was being more lazy. There's a reason you feel shame when being lazy, it's your brain telling you to get to work. You either listen or ignore that message. Every time the right answer is listening, even if it feels right to ignore it now..
This video is such a powerful reminder that life isn't about checking off boxes or meeting arbitrary goals. It's about growth, experiences, and finding joy in the journey. It's easy to get lost in the pressure to constantly improve and forget the beauty of where we are now. Thank you for sharing your journey and reminding us all to truly live, not just exist. I love the way you think! 🌟
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 Good point, but the video likely focuses on the importance of rest and self care. People often find their own ways to manage their responsibilities while still taking time to recharge. It’s about finding a balance that works for each individual.
Honestly, that's why I like to say we all should enjoy each and every single thing in our life. We should appreciate the small things in our life cause you never know how hard, others are trying to get that what's little for you!!! And you never know how much courage they needed to show that small gesture 🩷🙌
stumbled on this vid from the homepage. im glad the algorithm showed me you and just wanna say you're not alone in feeling these things. Instead of saying "damn, 6 months already passed by, im wasting time." you could maybe think, "wow i have another 6 months to do so many things!" life is precious, don't let the comparison of other ppls lives drag you down! (i struggle with this myself too)
I appreciate that a lot! I think regardless of how much or how little I think I did, I've learned to look at the things that have been in my life so far and stopped focusing on what I "failed to do". I've made so many precious memories and met so many people that I never thought I would have at the start of the year, and I'm so thankful for them!
Relatable as fuck. I still feel depressed, stressed, motivated but not taking action...doomscrolling my life away. I hate the way im living right now and my suicidal thoughts are a product of that. Every addiction i have is insanely difficult to break from. I WILL FAIL BUT I WILL TRY AGAIN.
The timing is phenomenal. I recently just graduated and I have this sense of emptiness and loss of direction after wondering the next big step I need to take in life. I'm so fixated on the future it's causing me to develop that mentality that no matter what I do, it will never be significant enough to satisfy. I think it's often due to this mindset that we neglect our capabilities and forget that as human beings, taking small wins and easing yourself is also part of the process on benefiting yourself throughout life.
This is true, and I've been there when I first graduated as well. It's funny because five years into my career, I think I'm back at where you are now. It's not a bad thing I think, it's just how life is and we all have choices to make. Always push through with the better choices, and spend less time on the bad ones. Good energy attracts good things, and vice versa. That said, good job getting through today. Life is tough, but so are we. ❤
i think about post-grad a lot since i'm also approaching it as well, and i know it's definitely a hard period in many people's lives. i really hope the best for you in your journey and finding the joys of your life at this time!
time moves incredibly fast, but i heard this quote that hasn’t left me: something along the lines of: “do the thing, even if its hard or takes long. the time will pass anyway.” really puts things into perspective❤
I cried watching this...this is me, i relate with you. Last year went messy, this year got more messier. I've been feeling low for more than six months now.. I've struggling to get a hold of my life now.. everything seems overwhelming. Some bad memories, some guilt from past, regret and what not.. everything is there in me..and here I am crying watching this video.. feeling bad for the fact that I didn't do anything for myself.
I hope things get better for you. Please know that some person is typing on her keyboard right now, genuinely rooting for you with the belief that every person's path is different. Yours might be going slow or it might feel like a straight line on the graph right now, but it only takes some time and some well-placed little efforts, a lot of faith and believing, to make that line go up and down. I'm genuinely rooting for you 🤗♥️
I also somewhat cried while watching this lol. Back then, I was a desperate middle schooler, for love, friends and that girlhood everyone has been going through. I spent so much of these months trying to fit into the ''popular'' girls but I didn't know it would cost me my mental health and dignity to actually fall for these social dynamics. I starved, woke up early, slept late and did so much to know what it felt like to be admired by peers and others and not just seen as an airhead or someone who was just a people pleaser. I realized by the end of eighth grade, that I met some critical people in my life, who supported me when times were rough, supported me when I felt like a downer, and were there for me when I felt like ending my life.
To everyone out there struggling right now, I want to say that I hope things get better for you soon. Remember that everyone has tough times, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get through this and come out stronger on the other side. Believe in yourself and never give up. I'm rooting for you!
I wasted about half of 2024 until I turned to Allah! I would never say a waste because you can still find hope in your meaningless days. Thank you for this video and for sharing your story. I feel less alone, but I thought I wasted 2024. I neglected my college studies, but it was never a waste because I turned to Allah, Peace be upon him ❤
i think i have accomplished things while also worrying about things that i didn’t accomplish - and i just didn’t wanna get caught up in the midst and forget to actually enjoy my life 🥹
The moment you let go of society's and others expectations is the moment you start enjoying the little things more. For example right now I'm trying to shift my mindset from 'bedrotting' and 'lazy' to 'resting'. It's a little change but it keeps me motivated and in better mood overall. It helps me to move on and do something I yearn for. In my opinion, if your year had at least some happy moments, it wasn't wasted!
i was bedrotting so much first half of 2024 and was going THRU IT, and in such an existential crisis feeling like i was stuck… but I’m up now!! excited for the rest of the year
Thank you for this! (Also we have similar names hehe!) The LORD designed each of our lives differently; it's a constant reminder for myself as I tend to feel so behind in life compared to my peers. Much love to you and others who watched!
This year I actually didn’t waste the first half year. I got a job and everything, but now they ended my contract because of how far away I lived and I’m back where I was last year again
I relate with this completely!! I graduated a year ago and the constant routine grind caught up to me and I too, have been rotting for the most part. I want to make more videos but my burn out spirals me into rot. Everyday I have to remind myself that this era for me is an era to slow down, take the pressure off to perform, and simply be. Your statement here reminds me of the same thing. Cheers!!!
Sometimes I think in this day and age, if you're just alive and healthy, you're not wasting anything, you're winning. Its a different era we live in now, and we are all doing our best to adapt, grow, learn, and become better!
I’m a senior in college and I feel like I relate a lot to the things you said in the video. You really should stick to the video editing hobby because this was top notch 😂👌
I suffered from the hedonic treadmill for the first half, glad you figured out what there is to love... EDCLV was my favorite time of the year, it's memories like those that we should remember rather than the checklist we keep thinking about
I feel that so much. I said that I would start writing again and get a head start on one of my big essays this year… and here we are in didn’t get anything done. But even though I’ve failed in that regard I’ve been running everyday, hanging out with my XC team, and I feel like I grew so much as a person this year
growing as a person isn't completely about successes and failures. i'm wishing you all the best in your journey and am really glad that you were able to grow in your ways!
beautiful video. you're not alone - i feel i have spent the majority of my year in the same. but a lot of the times, we fail to acknowledge the things we *have* done. life is a journey, and sometimes we have to allow ourselves to grow with time. try to enjoy the process too :)
UNDERRATED.. You deserve huge attention and your true message to spread more towards everyone that feels this way. This video should be considered to every single person who uses the internet or mainly focus on their struggles. It’s so simple but fascinating, stating how we should all not focus on our struggles, but the positive journey we all got to towards this certain point ❤❤
Wow, relatable. I just used up my gap year to decide what bachelor I want to do, aswell as visiting my family abroad and traveling and socializing with friends, getting an internship for my practice-integrated studies and learning investing, python, some insurance and doing some drawing. Looking back, I could have optimised my schedule and do less gaming and watching anime/movies, but I only know that now:/
Honestly, I'm so grateful that you have the courage to say that. I felt the same way at the beginning of the year (and often in between) and it pushed me in a negative way to see how great everyone was progressing and I was so struggling and unhappy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, RUclips needs more honest creators like you. You give me and a lot of people extreme courage to keep going. Thank you so so much 💕 If i could, I would Hit the likebuttons multiple Times. 🍰
I’ve been doing nothing getting high in my room depressed. I’m about to turn 18 and I’ve done absolutely nothing with my life. Someone else deserves my place
So mich love to you. I feel exactly the same. There is so much things I wanted to do, but I didn’t really do none of them. Everyone has tough times, we will get through it together my friends 👍🏻
This video poped up at my feed and I'm glad it did . It's 12:24am and this makes me wanna live and appreciate everything around me. Great content, supporting you 🌷
even for me, someone who has probably spent no more than 30 minutes of this entire year "rotting", this video was so needed -- even though I didn't "waste" my time like that, I've probably spent more timem planning, thinking about the future, goals, goals, goals, that I forgot to enjoy the present moment & allow myself to be happy where I am and just live in the moment. The quote “I make these plans for how I want to live my life, but forget to allow myself to actually live it.” stood out to me so much. Thank you Sabrina
Thank you sooo much for your video ! I put a lot of pressure on my shoulders to proove myself "I live" and I think a lot about what should I do instead of staying at home, but truth it I feel like I don't belong anymore to where I live, so it's really hard to just force myself going for a walk. I can't wait to move on when I'll be older - InshAllah :) (the hardest part is feeling like a waist some of years waiting for me to live idk where, but I feel trapped in this city because what can I do epect being patient to be old enough to live in my dream country) Thank you again Sabrina (:
Every moment spent is a step on your journey. As Seneca said, 'It is not that we spend five days or five years on a thing, but that we do not take up the task until we are sure we have time enough.' Reflect, learn, and move forward-your future is in your hands.
life is meant to be lived. get out there and do random things while you are young. enjoy life. staying in bed does nothing to push your life forward. i used to be healthy and was out 7 days a week depending on my work schedule . would even go on trips on my own to places like hawaii and las vegas. even if don't always feel up to it try to do something fun. my health is gone and most of my friends have passed away but even with all that i do the best i can to keep going. you're probably still young so go out and enjoy your life.
In just 3 mins you brought out such an important lesson its amazing, I really relate to this video, life really isn't a checklist to tick off it's a lot more than that glad I watched this video♥
I fully understand you! This video came up in my recommendations. I've been bed rotting and brain rotting. I'm now trying to get back on my feet and be about. We both got this! .! same goes for everyone watching this. You earned a subscriber friend!
In the past few weeks has been the best and the worst days of my life. And me browsing RUclips bumping into this video. "Everything happens for a reason." It reminds me of that we may get hurt or a lot more worse in the future, and we have to be ok to not be ok. It's so easy to lose track of what's more important to you in present. I honestly wished you all the best for your future Sabrina. And I'm working on mine too I'm scared of turning 30 this year in 3 months time but I'll have to not think about it and keep pushing forward. I resonated this video a lot and I felt like I wasted half of 2024 too. So yeah stay well and healthy and live life to the fullest on what works best for you. ^^
This video here IS my reminder to keep going, to keep doing the things I love, and yes to keep LIVING. Great editing by the way, keep it up, I appreciate your great work! 🎉❤
You're so underrated. I think although there are things we can improve on in life but like you said we need to remember the good moments as well. I loved the montage at the end too. It made me smile :)
You know youre going about it in the wrong way when your thought process sounds like a college app “hard times” essay, or a college app essay in general.
This video is awesome, it reminded me of a conversation that I had with a friend recently about how we often focus on our lowlights and forget about our highlights that a younger version of ourselves would have been proud of. Also, so relatable cos I've been trying to get back into my creative hobbies as well!
Shame is a powerful motivator. Use it. I don't believe we should eliminate shame from our lives- it's a feeling for a reason. For me, it helps me stay on track. I get lazy sometimes, but I have to hold myself accountable. I can be ashamed of myself, shame doesn't have to come from other people. It comes from a place where I know I can do better. it's a positive thing, actually. I wish you the best and remember not to take life too seriously since it will end soon. So make the most of it!
I feel like this perfectly encapsulates this feeling “And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. (Matthew 6:28)”
deleting social media (except yt) was probably the best thing for me mentally, and i would highly suggest it to anyone! because it removes most comparison to others and allows you to just live your life, you do you, be present in the moment always!
literally me. i logged out of instagram and all my old discord accounts over 7 months ago. i havent properly spoken to any of my highschool friends and while they have all probably made new friends and even relationships im still here tryna get this animation thing up. i took a drop to re appear for an entrance exam, and im definitely getting in considering the fact that i am putting so much effort rn. the same doesnt probably apply for youtube since i have been slacking for the past month or so and im not getting any ideas at all. i see other animators who started their ventures during the same time period as me and i guess i kinda get jealous looking at them when i see that they are benefitting from their efforts. i guess ill start acting on my ambitions and actually working towards a better net positive for my future. I guess you are around the same age as me. It is okay to have regrets about wasting time but you could start acting on the time you have left in 2024. it isnt too late anyway. and its not like you dont possess any talent, you definitely do since you are able to capture a "waking up from a nap on a summer afternoon"-esque essence through your narration and editing style. you got a new sub (me), and i hope we both get to achieve what we want in the next 4 months. all the best. wishing you good luck.
This hits deep, I have youtube on in the background while i'm working and this came up.. made me stop to watch the vid. Do not think I have lived since starting a career, but I hope you're doing well and everyone in the comment too :)
We all feel that sometimes, but the truth is even when we're old, we're still young in a sense. Time spent breathing is not time wasted. Everyone's trying in their own little ways. Let's all keep going! We'll get to better places soon I'm sure 🥹🫶
I feel like no matter how much you do, you’ll always feel incomplete. Maybe the problem isn’t doing more, but appreciating what we have been doing. Instead of changing what you do, change how you think about it. Hope this helps someone
the "focus on the positive" message rings pretty hollow if you're spending most of your time alone wishing you had someone who always wanted to hear about whatever was on your mind and tell you whatever was on theirs. you can always make your friendships deeper and closer but someone has to make the awkward first move and risk looking needy.
Thank you everyone for the overwhelming amount of support! I'm really glad that I was able to resonate with many of you and that my message reached out to you. It's really crazy how I have almost 400 subscribers now

ye but how does rent get paid? how is she paying rent when bedrotting?
@@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384 Good point, but the video likely focuses on the importance of rest and self care. People often find their own ways to manage their responsibilities while still taking time to recharge. It’s about finding a balance that works for each individual.
Exactly 💯 ❤
If you went out with friends even once this year, you're doing better than most people ngl 😭
😭😭 it takes some energy at times
Honestly, that's why I like to say we all should enjoy each and every single thing in our life.

wasted half of this year with friends who backstabbed me... you're not alone, we all make mistakes, we can learn together :)
Make sure that feeling of betrayal doesn't grow to longterm bitterness. Time will heal all wounds, remember this.
you will find your friends and people who will cherish you and value you. those "friends" were not meant to stay in your life but made you stronger
To everyone out there struggling right now, I want to say that I hope things get better for you soon. Remember that everyone has tough times, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you so so much 💕 If i could, I would Hit the likebuttons multiple Times. 🍰
I’ve been doing nothing getting high in my room depressed. I’m about to turn 18 and I’ve done absolutely nothing with my life. Someone else deserves my place
just got this on my recommended, it's not about success or failure, it's embracing the journey, thanks for the reminder
So mich love to you. I feel exactly the same. There is so much things I wanted to do, but I didn’t really do none of them. Everyone has tough times, we will get through it together my friends 👍🏻
The fact you made this video and lived shows that you're making progress. They don't have to be huge. But 1% day by day, compounds over time.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
new favorite youtuber 💌
awe oh my god. i really love this video. thanks for making such a masterpiece :)
what a banger video sabrina
This video poped up at my feed and I'm glad it did . It's 12:24am and this makes me wanna live and appreciate everything around me. Great content, supporting you 🌷
even for me, someone who has probably spent no more than 30 minutes of this entire year "rotting", this video was so needed -- even though I didn't "waste" my time like that, I've probably spent more timem planning, thinking about the future, goals, goals, goals, that I forgot to enjoy the present moment & allow myself to be happy where I am and just live in the moment. The quote “I make these plans for how I want to live my life, but forget to allow myself to actually live it.” stood out to me so much. Thank you Sabrina
Thank you sooo much for your video !
I put a lot of pressure on my shoulders to proove myself "I live" and I think a lot about what should I do instead of staying at home, but truth it I feel like I don't belong anymore to where I live, so it's really hard to just force myself going for a walk. I can't wait to move on when I'll be older - InshAllah :) (the hardest part is feeling like a waist some of years waiting for me to live idk where, but I feel trapped in this city because what can I do epect being patient to be old enough to live in my dream country)
Thank you again Sabrina (:
this got me thinking at 3:21 am fr
Every moment spent is a step on your journey.
As Seneca said, 'It is not that we spend five days or five years on a thing, but that we do not take up the task until we are sure we have time enough.'
Reflect, learn, and move forward-your future is in your hands.
life is meant to be lived. get out there and do random things while you are young. enjoy life. staying in bed does nothing to push your life forward. i used to be healthy and was out 7 days a week depending on my work schedule . would even go on trips on my own to places like hawaii and las vegas. even if don't always feel up to it try to do something fun. my health is gone and most of my friends have passed away but even with all that i do the best i can to keep going. you're probably still young so go out and enjoy your life.
me saying the same thing that i was gonna be "better" and me ending up in bed crying listening to music 😔
I honestly, felt this on a different level - you’re not alone 🥹 But I’m sure you have grown so much throughout this year despite this
I am so glad this came to my recommended - because this is so me too😅 thank you so much for this video - exactly what I needed to hear!!❤❤
In just 3 mins you brought out such an important lesson its amazing, I really relate to this video, life really isn't a checklist to tick off it's a lot more than that glad I watched this video♥
This showed up at the right time. I feel the same way as you. I’ve been wasting my time by not doing much but staying at home.
was definitly needing this vid , thank you so much sis appreciate you 💌
i'm really glad i was able to help!
I fully understand you! This video came up in my recommendations. I've been bed rotting and brain rotting. I'm now trying to get back on my feet and be about. We both got this! .! same goes for everyone watching this. You earned a subscriber friend!
In the past few weeks has been the best and the worst days of my life.
And me browsing RUclips bumping into this video.
"Everything happens for a reason."
It reminds me of that we may get hurt or a lot more worse in the future, and we have to be ok to not be ok.
It's so easy to lose track of what's more important to you in present. I honestly wished you all the best for your future Sabrina.
And I'm working on mine too I'm scared of turning 30 this year in 3 months time but I'll have to not think about it and keep pushing forward.
I resonated this video a lot and I felt like I wasted half of 2024 too. So yeah stay well and healthy and live life to the fullest on what works best for you. ^^
This video here IS my reminder to keep going, to keep doing the things I love, and yes to keep LIVING. Great editing by the way, keep it up, I appreciate your great work! 🎉❤
You're so underrated. I think although there are things we can improve on in life but like you said we need to remember the good moments as well. I loved the montage at the end too. It made me smile :)
No words. Just, beautifully made.
This video made me tear up 😢 it just hits so hard 😭
Looking back at the times i had, it feels exactly like this. Im glad im not the only one
You know youre going about it in the wrong way when your thought process sounds like a college app “hard times” essay, or a college app essay in general.
wie sexy selbstreflexion ist, wusste ich bis jetzt nicht. danke dir
This video is awesome, it reminded me of a conversation that I had with a friend recently about how we often focus on our lowlights and forget about our highlights that a younger version of ourselves would have been proud of. Also, so relatable cos I've been trying to get back into my creative hobbies as well!
That's was acutally my focus when I started writing the script for this video!
Shame is a powerful motivator. Use it. I don't believe we should eliminate shame from our lives- it's a feeling for a reason. For me, it helps me stay on track. I get lazy sometimes, but I have to hold myself accountable. I can be ashamed of myself, shame doesn't have to come from other people. It comes from a place where I know I can do better. it's a positive thing, actually.
I wish you the best and remember not to take life too seriously since it will end soon. So make the most of it!
your voice is so comforting
Your so real for this
I feel like this perfectly encapsulates this feeling “And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. (Matthew 6:28)”
Woah did not expect the delivery I honestly thought you had more subscribers
deleting social media (except yt) was probably the best thing for me mentally, and i would highly suggest it to anyone! because it removes most comparison to others and allows you to just live your life, you do you, be present in the moment always!
literally me. i logged out of instagram and all my old discord accounts over 7 months ago. i havent properly spoken to any of my highschool friends and while they have all probably made new friends and even relationships im still here tryna get this animation thing up. i took a drop to re appear for an entrance exam, and im definitely getting in considering the fact that i am putting so much effort rn. the same doesnt probably apply for youtube since i have been slacking for the past month or so and im not getting any ideas at all. i see other animators who started their ventures during the same time period as me and i guess i kinda get jealous looking at them when i see that they are benefitting from their efforts.
i guess ill start acting on my ambitions and actually working towards a better net positive for my future. I guess you are around the same age as me. It is okay to have regrets about wasting time but you could start acting on the time you have left in 2024. it isnt too late anyway. and its not like you dont possess any talent, you definitely do since you are able to capture a "waking up from a nap on a summer afternoon"-esque essence through your narration and editing style. you got a new sub (me), and i hope we both get to achieve what we want in the next 4 months. all the best. wishing you good luck.
You’re good I’ve only sleeped and watched RUclips…compared to me you have lived to the fullest
Beautiful video from a very special person!
Thank you! Your feelings of waste led to this video. This video is productive to many.
You keep doing that
This video is so well made! Congrats on everything you've accomplished! Resting & relaxing are also just as important ❤
needed to hear this thanks :(
of course, i really wanted share my struggles so that others didn’t feel alone
felt like the beginning of a really good drama series
needed this
This hits deep, I have youtube on in the background while i'm working and this came up.. made me stop to watch the vid. Do not think I have lived since starting a career, but I hope you're doing well and everyone in the comment too :)
I LOVE THIS.
thank you!!
600th sub right here! I feel the same way. Wasted a lot this year.
Thank you for the vid you literally made me cry maybe I’m emotional I don’t know but it really felt like a message to me
If you got out of bed to take some time, sit down and make this video you’ve already done something productive :)
Couldn’t have seen this at a more perfect time
Your channel's gonna grow and I'm alwyas gonna be that 358th subscriber♡
To not just achieve, but enjoy.
We all feel that sometimes, but the truth is even when we're old, we're still young in a sense. Time spent breathing is not time wasted. Everyone's trying in their own little ways. Let's all keep going! We'll get to better places soon I'm sure 🥹🫶
are we twins? was so relatable. also cinematic banger
I feel like no matter how much you do, you’ll always feel incomplete. Maybe the problem isn’t doing more, but appreciating what we have been doing. Instead of changing what you do, change how you think about it. Hope this helps someone
No way I found the most relatable youtuber on my recommended 🤣. Great video and definitely deserves a sub. Love from Canada♥
Girrrl, this resonates so much with me. 😭
this video is amazing, thanks from Poland ❤
the "focus on the positive" message rings pretty hollow if you're spending most of your time alone wishing you had someone who always wanted to hear about whatever was on your mind and tell you whatever was on theirs. you can always make your friendships deeper and closer but someone has to make the awkward first move and risk looking needy.
great video, very honest and creatively edited! you did great with your writing, music, and cutting especially
time moves so fast these days i just came back from a 15 day trip and it feels like 3 days passed
That ending thoooo!!! This is pretty awesome, feels a bit like a movie ending lul
