This is what a healthy 20s looks like. You are more perceptive about the world and you start to be more aware of your thoughts. Just sit with it and listen more. You always don't have to figure it all out right away.
Halle, the first time I saw one of your videos, years ago, I was struck by the calmness with which you carried yourself and the genuine fascination you seemed to have for the simple things around you. I'm not sure how to say it but you just appeared to me to exist in harmony with the world around you. Just watching you filled me with joy, and I thought "if we could all be a little more like that, we might just be okay". Please don't let people make you feel like you're doing something wrong. and don't let the world take away that part of you that lets you face the world with your guard down.
I could not agree more with your description of Halle and her content. Her videos helped me rediscover that wonder and delight in the ordinary. I imagine Halle is very intelligent and very self aware, this can be difficult if you don't heap on self-compassion as you can become critical of all your little human flaws, like indecision and confusion. Halle, don't forget to include yourself in that lens of love you show the world through
I can relate at 27. Most of us are only just starting our life outside of what was dictated by our parents. So maybe that is where the loss in identity feeling is coming from?
exactly this! I relate as well as 23. To add on I feel like our 20s is a time where we are learning to exist outside the all of safety nets that we had known for so long in our lives (school, college, being under our parents’ dictation like you said)… we are in general just learning to live on our own terms and pace, and it is DEFINITELY a learning curve 😅😭
No it has zero to do with "starting our life outside of what was dictated by our parents". It has more to do with being truly genuine and realizing that even your closest friends rarely have good advice. Job knows alot about this.
All good girls eventually become attracted to the romanticism of being deeply hurt. She said she loves to wallow while at the same time wanting to control everything. Burger King has a slogan; Have it Your Way.
Halle, it’s Steven, you’re such a genius. Go for it! Go for all of it! Give the relationship a shot with whoever it is! Live, live, live! As a guy that’s seriously messed up, failure is a movement in the right direction. Failure is just your own subjective interpretation of an event. It doesn’t exist. All personal suffering exists between your ears. The food review/ psychological exposition was so good. I wish you nothing but the best. Trust that intuition!
I just turned 29 and can't believe it's the last year of my 20s. It TRULY flies by. All I can say is you're doing exactly what you should be doing! There's so much to figure out and so many decisions to make, but that's exactly the beauty of it!!
Oh we have missed you dear one! F the 20s! Those years are a confusing time for everyone in their 20s. The good news is you do NOT have to have it all figured out. You are NORMAL! This is the time to have fun, observe, let go, have experiences and yes LOVE. Benches & books are great too. PS: Post more - you are SO good at it.
just finished my iced coffee and this video. it felt like a warm hug. i feel more hopeful. also the sandwich you made was gorgeous. sending you lots of love
This is one of your best videos, Halle. Your authenticity shines through. The way you spoke about intuition was so well spoken. I think you’re definitely on the right path. :)
Sweet, beautiful girl! I cannot get my head around what you just said. In the best way possible. I am you at 58 years old. Only it took me years to understand some of the things you say in your 20s. You said you want to hurt that bad because it must come from a place of love! BRAVO!! You are so wise. You are the same age as my daughter. I will send your link to her. We are also Overthinkers. And we are plant based. Love the ambiguity while you are young!!!! Then buckle down and succeed and bring "littles" into the world, then become and empty nester and or career person (Thats where I am at now) Then you look forward to retiring and ambiguity again. It's a journey! Learn new things EVERY DAY. Be grateful for what you have. Smart and lovely! Thank you for this video. Sending Love and Proud Grandma Vibes to you.
I’ll be 23 in 2 weeks and this has been a year of such uncomfortable learning. Sentiments like these really resonate with me and I feel very grateful to have come across this - though I’m moving away from validation from others as you described, it’s wonderful to hear similar beliefs from someone my age.
You are so real and honest and vulnerable, and I think it takes strength to be vulnerable because it’s not so easy to share your feelings with the world I like the way you explore your surroundings and appreciate what is around you. You are rly resourceful I love it
Hearing you talk about your intuition/signs and how things just magically kind of makes sense to you at the right time -I felt so hard! To me that sounds like you’re going/about to go through a spiritual awakening, which is a beautiful thing! I’m also 22 and I’ve found this past year so draining but also so eye opening. I see you and hear you girl! Thank you for creating such a safe space for all of us in our 20 somethings ❤️
This could absolutely be the first 10 minutes of an indie film, right before some crazy life changing stuff happens to the girl in the story. Pure ART!
I'm 27 and I relate to this/ still feel like this! This makes me feel so seen, heard and not like i'm insane and alone, in overthinking and the kind of thoughts I have ( like the patterns as signs, being closed off in relationships, wallowing in one's music and indecisiveness!) Last summer, I sat alone in a co-op parking lot, at dusk, eating the only vegan sandwich Subway sells in England and felt exactly like this. I was going through one of the worst times of my life but it still felt mellow in the manner that this video does. Also, love the sandwich review and the one you made in the end looks mouth-watering!! x ❤
PS- I'm embarrassed of doing the most "me" things too and my sandwich had the mild spicy chipotle sauce , as the lady at the till suggested because I don't have the tolerance for the spicier version
My dear Halle, I'm turning 26 years this year. I truly understand how you feel. For me it happened last year, I left my boyfriend, who I thought I'd actually marry one day. it's been 6 months now. And my first reaction once I accepted the break up, was that I felt like a new born baby who doesn't know where she's going in life. I started questioning everything I did. I have lived in a different country since I was 18, far away from my family. I tend to enjoy time by myself and I prefer not opening up. My friends told me what they told you, that I'm very closed to myself. Three months after the breakup I decided to talk to my mom on the phone one day, and I told her exactly how I felt. She told me that she felt that I was transitioning to an adult. The thing is that even today, if there's something I remind myself is that, maybe we shouldn't overthink everything. I know it's difficult, almost impossible sometimes. Something I realized is that, since I finished my engineering studies, I have changed quite a lot. I do put myself first. I'm currently doing a PhD which is stressful but it does remind me how to find time for things that make you feel good. I think the best advice is to be grateful for the things life provides us on a daily basis and mostly our health. For the purpose in life, I trust that we'll find it. 💕
I’m 17 and I can relate, you are what is called a Hero’s Journey is what my teacher calls it. I’ve been there everyone has at least goes through one, but you can have multiple in life. Just know it does end on a good note you were once X and then you will be Y and that’s a good thing, remember that. You’ll be a better version than you once were. One thing I can say is don’t let ‘the hurt’ hurt completely to where it swallows you, have a boundary and know that boundary, you can use the hurt to build strength and resilience but remember YOUR boundary. I didn’t have one and in some way I died but I’m coming back slowly but surely. Also some sad music is fire, but don’t listen to it too often because at this stage it can cause more pain, if that’s you goal as you said to experience it, then I wish you luck and I pray for you maybe one day when you reach the end of your Hero’s Journey you should make a video about it have a good day!
I can relate to a lot of the things you have said as someone who is 20. I catch myself changing almost every day and it stress me out thinking about it, it feels like I don’t know myself and I’m stuck lol but anyways, you are extremely beautiful!! I saw one of your RUclips shorts today, and your energy, your calmness and your aura just pulls me (idk how to explain it😂) something about you just gives me peace😌 I hope you have a wonderful, blessed, loving life🫶🏾
Your insights are incredible im 22 turning 23 and I felt everything you said! Totally right about just accepting the ambiguity of things and normalizing it, but my thoughts always defer. 🙃
Just turned 27 here, and yes Halle life will test your identity and many times throughout the years and it's okay we are changing throughout the years too! the human nature is fluctuating and i don't believe in a fixed and consistant identity in such a young age. Enjoy we're still young. i'm glad you're back making videos again because we missed that! You look more healthier and prettier ❤
Hey Halle! Been watching your videos for gosh knows how long now and happy to see another post :) I’m 22 also so this video felt like you were reading out my own thoughts😂. One thing I do is to try not to take anything too seriously. Been watching movies recently like Frances Ha and 500 Days of Summer and since then I keep telling myself to be more like Frances Ha and Summer. Just live life authentically and try not to overthink everything. Hopefully one day all the puzzle pieces will come together but it’s important to just keep moving forward in life and try to enjoy whatever comes your way (and also seek for things out of your comfort zone so you can be exposed to new things which might lead to gosh knows what and where else). I guess nothing is planned in life as much as you try to plan it out and things never end up the way you expected, but just try to enjoy the process and not be too hard on yourself :). Just be grateful for your health, nature, good food, the close people around you, and whatever else makes life enjoyable. My life got fully flipped around last year once I got covid. I had finally felt like I had started in some sort of pathway in life with landing my first real job out of college as an engineer, being surrounded and living with my close friends, and be able to enjoy the little things in life like learning, nature, health, good food, and playing some professional tennis. But since I had gotten covid, I had lost all those things that made up my identity as I have been stuck most days in a dark room in my parents home unable to even leave the house to do any of those things that I used to love doing due to many health issues triggered by covid. I am undiagnosed and nobody knows how to help me and I haven’t gotten any better since and it’s been like 16 months. Not trying to make this a sad post but the point im trying to make is that I would do absolutely anything to have my old life back, so just try not to take for granted the simple things in life like the outdoors, the sun, laughter and kindness from others around ya and just try to enjoy everything that’s around ya :) And don’t worry about me because I have found ways to enjoy the little things in my “little” life now 😂. Life is all about perspective from what I have learned, so if ya ever feel bad to try to change your perspective on things. It can be a physical change like sitting somewhere you have never say before (maybe a new bench lol) or a mental change in perspective (if it can be obtained because I know it is hard to do at times when most needed). Oh gosh this post is all over the place sorry 😂. Anywho, if you ever feel down I would honestly recommend watching Frances Ha just for the ending of the movie because your video reminded me of this film. Just remember to always move forward in life and hopefully one day the puzzle pieces will all come together and things will make more sense and you will be at more ease (hopefully lol. All we can do is hope😂). Oh gosh I need to go back to bed it’s 3am😂. Happy I stumbled across your video rn as I woke up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. I hope nothing but the best from ya! You helped me get through my college years and made my day each time I saw a new video posted. Something about ya makes people feel at ease so thank you! Hope to continue to see more from ya in the future :) Nothing but love -Caroline
Halle, your light, your personality, your way of observing every little detail of what surrounds you makes of your videos a moment of calm in a world that is not always so. I live in France far away and yet these few minutes always make me feel like I'm spending time with a loved one. Thank you for everything
You say all this and still create works of pure art everytime you post on RUclips. You are artistic, creative, and decisive. Your quietude and admiration for the world around you is incredible. it’s okay to not have it all figured out. It’s okay to not know how to survive in your own thoughts and with other people’s. As someone who has felt like that my whole life and is 19, I get that. It takes those periods of contradictions and reflections and transparency with yourself and others to see and feel more clearly. And that just takes time. Halle, hang in there, you’re crushing it. Sending you so much love❤️
Yes! These thoughts are what it means to be an active participant in your own life. Keep living!! It doesn’t always get easier, but your approach and perspective and curiosity will continue to make all the difference. Thank you for sharing.
I thought I'm the only one who sees and feels that there are signs around me. And like these almost heart wrenching songs and finding peace while listening to them. This video made me feel great about myself. I'm 29 and used to think I had it all figured out when I was 16-18 and I'm here still trying to figure out my life.
I too am closed off...it takes me a while to warm up to someone( that's not a bad thing) saying F *** It! Is thearapic at times!💜Btw that sandwich look so good💙💜
Most older folks will tell you they would not want to live their twenties over again. Its a strange, learning, growing, changing time in one's life. Not easy. You are a superb documentary film maker, a unique and talented individual, possibly an empath. Empaths have to often spend time alone to recharge because we absorb others people's energy so easily. My Mom's best advise: "be yourself" which for me translates into follow your heart (inner voice), (inner guidance). You are very much appreciated and admired for who you are Halle. ❤
I resonate so deeply with everything you said in this video... you've always been my number one comfort person to watch but this video in particular really stood out. thank you for capturing the scariness and beauty of navigating life in your twenties :,)
It took me 5 years after high school to find out what I want to do. Now at 23 I know that I want to study computer science. Thankfully college is basically free in Germany. It is never too late. Some of my old class mates are doing their masters, but I don’t feel like I could’ve done what I will have to do from this fall on right after high school. I’m a completely different person now. I’m happy about all of my friends that I’ve met at the job I’ve been working at since high school. I don’t know where I would be without them. Everything happens for a reason❤️ PS: I wrote the comment before I watched the video. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve felt lost the last 5 years, and I had to reinvent myself, while also staying true to the best values I used to have. Just listen to your heart and that ‘bigger thing’ telling you to do or not to do stuff. You’ll figure all of this out. Just maybe not how you might think
I think before your 20s, you're just observing the world with rose colored sunglasses. It's much easier to stroll through life and be satisfied with who you are. Then gradually, as you start observing how cruel reality really is, and become more perceptive of life, the negative feelings start pouring in, and it mostly starts by shaking your self identity. And these feelings never really go away, you just learn how to cope with them. So just try and find who you are Hallie, and stay true to your nature. You are not too reserved or too this or too that, you're just you. And you're wonderful.
It’s so good to see u back girl :) I know this time in your life must be really tough and confusing and I def can relate. I’ve been watching your videos since I was a junior in high school and now that I’m a freshman in college I feel like I relate to your videos so much more. It means a lot to me to see you back and creating at a time where I feel pretty lost too. We are all rooting for you. ❤
Halle, this video is so relatable it’s scary. Thank you for putting yourself out there. So deeply and precisely. Your integrity is admirable. I saw things through your eyes. Your perspective shone, and distinguished itself. What an amazing feeling to connect with someone’s art, and resonate with it.
I love how flowy this video was and thank you for sharing your insight about navigating your twenties. It's hard and scary but so exciting and beautiful at the same time!
26 year old female here, I’m still in this phase. I’ve always felt it to be “lost”, but you helped articulate this lostness, this ambiguity as you said best, in a such a way that I can appreciate it. Thank you! Keep it up girl. Keep being as open minded as you are and trying the new things “until they stick”. Really beautiful video Halle! Wishing you and all the ambiguous people, all the best 💕
36 year old female here. I still feel this… I’m now a parent and kinda thought it would have gone away by now haha! I don’t think there’s a “destination” you reach at any set age. It’s a journey. You will probably feel this lost feeling throughout your whole life at different points. Trying to tell myself that’s ok ❤
This isn't meant to imply anything, but I've been dealing with a lot of the same issues (closed off from friends, unsure of myself, not being able to be myself out of fear and embarrassment), and in the past few months, I've learned that all of this has come from my undiagnosed autism. Learning more about that has helped me better understand why I experience all of these things, seemingly to a higher degree than most people. I hope you're able to find some clarity in all the things you're experiencing
I get you. We are all soul searching. You are definitely in the introspective phase of dinding yourself. You are also extremely aware. You seem like a very authentic person. That's pretty cool. It's not very common. Congrats on your journey to finding your true self❤
If one can't "overthink" in one's twenties when can they do it? Same goes for "underthinking". Yes, "patterns" may well be intuition of the type which is trying to grasp some knowledge before experiencing it... looking at it to see if there is something more pertinent, more behind the view... I remember you locked out & decided to break back into ur apartment... you hardly hesistated & acted quickly, intuitively. Good work, a "good rap" so to speak. Don't take ur friends opinions to heart, sounds as if you are doing just fine dimples. Some people question more things and can be known as "special". Your background doesn't lie Halle. Stay focussed stay happy.
🔥Profound ...you KEEP IT REAL, one of manny reasons I follow your journey...SHINE ON and STAY TRUE to YOU Halle..walk your own path, I have faith in you💯🙌🙏✨💫
I am 22 and feel everything you're talking about. SO relatable. please keep being you! and if that means more videos like this, yay!!! we'd be good friends
I'm turning 30 in less than a year and trust me you do not want to experience that level of pain. Not saying to avoid experiences but don't actively pursue something you know will cause you a lot of emotional damage if you don't have to. Also at 22 I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do and I can definitely say I do now so just pursue your interests and your life path will become clearer and clearer :)
I'm in my 30s now, I think back on my 20s and noticed that I was so so lost. I've never been so lost but I had no idea, I didn't even know what I was looking for. Eventually in my late 20s and early 30s, I started to learn about secure attachment. That was exactly what I was looking for and it taught me I had an insecure attachment style, avoidant, which stemmed from my relationship with my parents. After learning about that, so much of my life seemed to make so much more sense. I was able to navigate my world better. Being in your 20s is the best time for discovery and experiencing new things.
That is exactly what intuition is, it’s about making connections/seeing patterns subconsciously. You’re able to foresee what may occur without really being able to explain how. I’m 28 and I definitely relate, your 20s are meant for you to just truly learn about yourself/mistakes and experience what life has to offer. I was guilty of overthinking what others thought about me and everything in my life, but learned to just not give a shit.
Hello from Austria. I accidentally saw some of your vegan so-called cookery shows on this channel. Cooking is something for the soul and I believe that you will get your answer to all your questions. Wondering why? I'm a chef myself and I found my fulfilment in it 40 years ago. Keep up the good work, I am convinced that you will lead a happy life.
This video has been in my thoughts, and I hope that what you collect from these comments is that you are doing good in many peoples eyes, and you should at least rest with that a bit❤ Thaml you for sharing. Even if you don't know what is happening or why, I think you have the right eye and thoughts to figure it out slowly with time and experience, if there is such a thing as "figuring out" ourself and the life we live.
the 20s are a time for new experiences. do everything that even slightly interests you. only through experiencing will you know what you want to do. what you end up loving may not have the best financial output, but in terms of happiness or whatever it is you're looking to get out of life, it will be worth it. live your 20s Halle! im 26 and have yet to figure out what it is i truly want to do in life. I'd say you're definitely on the right track on finding your calling. just remember you're in charge of your life. God bless and cant wait for your next video!
When I was going through my 20s it was with a traumatic brain injury that I had at 19, and being an introverted and introspective person, I think it has made me suited to glean some wisdom from the experience and share it as things I wish I'd known. For instance, don't be afraid to think a whole lot about things. Look at the big picture. Try to understand the big picture, your place in it, and how to change it for the better. This will make your life progress more smoothly and aid in that confidence which then translates to your identity becoming more real to you and everyone else. Learn to laugh at yourself, not in a ridiculing way but in a good natured way. What really can you do about mistakes but recover, and recovery is half the fun. Plus if you learn to laugh at yourself, it's really hard to care what other people think when they aren't thinking anything good and think you should know. There's more to depth of music and emotion than just intense pain and deep sorrow. There's great love and joy too. Let yourself feel those things, even if they don't have an object, and then you don't have to wallow, you can let it inspire you to express yourself, like with art, music of your own, whatever. Lastly and most importantly, that monumental love is so much more than a feeling. It will have that incredible amount of emotion that it produces, but the love is greater and it isn't something we're even capable of. As close as we could get to it on our own would be the intense emotional experience that would end in the ruin that singers write songs about, because we are just so naturally selfish. When we humans go to Christ with acceptance of that, and look to Him for what we need and don't have, He then enables us to love with His greater love that isn't determined by our weakness, and so we get all the experience with all the emotion but no reason ever to wallow in sadness.
Wow I loved and really needed this video. As someone who’s feeling the exact same way at 23 it actually made me see the hope & beauty in it? Thank you for sharing this 🫡🫶🏻
Aww Halle, I love your videos! I've just turned 30 and questioning the meaning of everything but thinking fuck it the most important thing is happiness and that's what I'm aiming for. You seem such a lovely person, don't be embarrassed for being you!
Commenting so I can watch your videos more often ❤. I was having a bad day and I came across your cooking video on reels, it gave me so much calmness. Thank you Halle:)
i hope you never remove this video, no matter how different it is from your others. the post-grad identity crisis and depression is beyond real. i dont know how we're meant to find ourselves among it all, i feel the need to run away in order to do so, so i empathize with your feeling to shut everyone out. i hope India was helpful in any way. maybe our identity feels so lost because its going through a metamorphosis. i hope time will be on our side, and patience and meditation may help with the lost feelings. taco bell crunch wrap vegan supreme + shake shack new veggie burger no cheese >>> + new vegan milkshake.
Had to find a video of yours to make a comment. I’ve been so impressed with your short videos and taking notes down because I need to find ways to support my wife who has cancer and nutrition is becoming a real challenge for me to help with. If you have great ideas please reach out to me. You are amazing with how creative you are with food at such a young age already it blows me away. Cheers to you.
Best piece of advice was to use 2 ears and 1 mouth in that order. Learning to be more perceptive as well, and also in my 20s feeling lost, anxious, overwhelmed at times….loved this so much. fyi, I’m also a new creator reflecting on young adulthood. If you’re seeing this - it might be for a reason ❤
“A voice within me is sobbing . . . until I just can't keep it up anymore, because when everybody starts hovering over me, I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world." Reminded me of this passage from Anne Frank's diary.
5:37 you’re right. Pain and love aren’t opposites, they complete each other. When you let yourself truly love something, you accept that you’re giving it the ability to hurt you. It’s not careless or reckless. It’s delicately decisive.
I love the yellow ladder. Awesome. I consider myself chronically ill and there is so much to worry about,. There are so many rabbit holes to go down. There are so many dead ends and alternative ideas. It's exhausting. Im just now I think getting out of a dark ocd spiral. I hope your indecision isn't obsessive and compulsive thoughts. It can take the mind to crazy places. I really resonate with intuition and how it can feel right, but wrong, and it's hard to know. For me I've discovered intuition is an internal feeling. So you have to be in one's body. External seeking, idealizing, craving, wishing, yearning, that's not intuition. Thats the heart screaming for self-love. Pain is a million lessons so it's beautiful. and if you can zoom out and see how beautiful, light, and loving everything is a lot of this stuff dissolves. It's hard to do. Sometimes I think it's just sa wild fantasy I have, especially when darkness or confusion seems independent of my intention. the best stories have terrible things in them, but in the end, its just life distilled. consciousness is so fragile. and maybe sometimes things feel confusing or directionless, but life is worthy and loving because it's passing is substantial- to the internal life, life is hard so even the boringest of times are important. please be kind to yourself and love yourself! find the stillness of the moment that's richest high there is. crazy seeing this cuz I've been over thinking and scared af and its been so dark so i just. heart
This is the kind of videos I would like to see more in the world, not rushing, not tailored to an audience, very creative and introspective. Also I think there is a philosophical metaphor in the making-your-own-vegan=option thing though it is left unpronounced haha
I been exactly where you are - if there’s any advice I have it’s to enjoy the process. Learn to get out of your head sometimes tho. I know it’s easier said than done but teach yourself to enjoy being confused/lost if that makes sense lol. It’s all part of a bigger picture and everything will fall into place when the time is right. You’re on the path to become who you’re meant to be. That fact you’re feeling like this is to do with the fact that you know you’re meant for more. Have faith in that
Completely natural to feel this way at that age .. just know that Jesus loves you and keep ppl you can really trust around and stay away from the ones who seem sketchy..❤bk, good fries 2..
What a beautiful video you have created, Halle. I truly wish you the best with 2024. I have also only just started to recognize certain aspects of myself in my early twenties now, and there's a lot more to figure out. But I know we can do this! ❤
Try to realise it's all within yourself, no one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small, and life flows on within you and without you -George Harrison I remember being 18 or 19 (I’m 28 now) and I didn’t want to get older. My therapist at the time shared a good song with me. The song is called Time by Pink Floyd. The song opened my eyes and I went from being a very tense and anxious individual to one who is content with life. I’m more relaxed as well. I thought I was lost but as I’ve gotten older I realize that maybe that wasn’t the case at all. Whatever will be, will be. Just know that you’ll be alright no matter what happens. Have a great day and May you be blessed with good ties!👌🏽
I hope my daughter can be as wonderful as you Halle - your peace , mind , and sense of grounding , young , and spirited . I wish you well on this journey we call life 😊
Half way in you’re saying everything I’m feeling at 28 im like am I okay no the world just sucks but it’s also great and you have to just make sense of those contradictions still everyday 😂
This is one of the most RELATABLE videos i have ever seen, hope you get to see shY you truly are in the journey that you just began, i wish to do the same with what I'm doing ❤
you capture the melancholy of eating the one vegan option at fast food restaurants so perfectly
BEN WHAT R U DOING HERE
BEN????'
Why are y’all so concerned why Ben is here ? Lmao 🤣
Damn benn
the only good comment in this entire comments section
This is what a healthy 20s looks like. You are more perceptive about the world and you start to be more aware of your thoughts. Just sit with it and listen more. You always don't have to figure it all out right away.
This is what a stupid privileged life looks like. Wondering aimlessly when she should be in college or working!
@dpmnfiend. You are such a naive person.
"You always don't have to figure it all out right away"
Thank you for this
@@Manasio_o I hope she's at least going to college.
Halle, the first time I saw one of your videos, years ago, I was struck by the calmness with which you carried yourself and the genuine fascination you seemed to have for the simple things around you. I'm not sure how to say it but you just appeared to me to exist in harmony with the world around you.

Please don't let people make you feel like you're doing something wrong. and don't let the world take away that part of you that lets you face the world with your guard down.
Perfectly said. Agree.
It'll take time, but I bet she'll pull through it!
I could not agree more with your description of Halle and her content. Her videos helped me rediscover that wonder and delight in the ordinary. I imagine Halle is very intelligent and very self aware, this can be difficult if you don't heap on self-compassion as you can become critical of all your little human flaws, like indecision and confusion.

I can relate at 27. Most of us are only just starting our life outside of what was dictated by our parents. So maybe that is where the loss in identity feeling is coming from?
exactly this! I relate as well as 23. To add on I feel like our 20s is a time where we are learning to exist outside the all of safety nets that we had known for so long in our lives (school, college, being under our parents’ dictation like you said)… we are in general just learning to live on our own terms and pace, and it is DEFINITELY a learning curve 😅😭
No it has zero to do with "starting our life outside of what was dictated by our parents". It has more to do with being truly genuine and realizing that even your closest friends rarely have good advice. Job knows alot about this.
All good girls eventually become attracted to the romanticism of being deeply hurt. She said she loves to wallow while at the same time wanting to control everything. Burger King has a slogan; Have it Your Way.
I’m 29 now so this is the last year of my 20’s 😪
Halle, it’s Steven, you’re such a genius. Go for it! Go for all of it! Give the relationship a shot with whoever it is! Live, live, live! As a guy that’s seriously messed up, failure is a movement in the right direction. Failure is just your own subjective interpretation of an event. It doesn’t exist. All personal suffering exists between your ears. The food review/ psychological exposition was so good. I wish you nothing but the best. Trust that intuition!
I just turned 29 and can't believe it's the last year of my 20s. It TRULY flies by. All I can say is you're doing exactly what you should be doing! There's so much to figure out and so many decisions to make, but that's exactly the beauty of it!!
SAME GIRL SAME!!!
Oh we have missed you dear one! F the 20s!
Those years are a confusing time for everyone in their 20s. The good news is you do NOT have to have it all figured out. You are NORMAL! This is the time to have fun, observe, let go, have experiences and yes LOVE.
Benches & books are great too.
PS: Post more - you are SO good at it.
Happy to see you posting again!
watching this sitting on my bedroom floor drinking iced coffee. thank you for making me feel less alone.
just finished my iced coffee and this video. it felt like a warm hug. i feel more hopeful. also the sandwich you made was gorgeous. sending you lots of love
This is one of your best videos, Halle. Your authenticity shines through. The way you spoke about intuition was so well spoken. I think you’re definitely on the right path. :)
Sweet, beautiful girl! I cannot get my head around what you just said. In the best way possible. I am you at 58 years old. Only it took me years to understand some of the things you say in your 20s. You said you want to hurt that bad because it must come from a place of love! BRAVO!! You are so wise. You are the same age as my daughter. I will send your link to her. We are also Overthinkers. And we are plant based.
Love the ambiguity while you are young!!!! Then buckle down and succeed and bring "littles" into the world, then become and empty nester and or career person (Thats where I am at now) Then you look forward to retiring and ambiguity again. It's a journey! Learn new things EVERY DAY. Be grateful for what you have.
Smart and lovely! Thank you for this video. Sending Love and Proud Grandma Vibes to you.
I’ll be 23 in 2 weeks and this has been a year of such uncomfortable learning. Sentiments like these really resonate with me and I feel very grateful to have come across this - though I’m moving away from validation from others as you described, it’s wonderful to hear similar beliefs from someone my age.
You are so real and honest and vulnerable, and I think it takes strength to be vulnerable because it’s not so easy to share your feelings with the world
I like the way you explore your surroundings and appreciate what is around you. You are rly resourceful I love it
"I have you, why are you doubting me" that spoke to me
Hearing you talk about your intuition/signs and how things just magically kind of makes sense to you at the right time -I felt so hard! To me that sounds like you’re going/about to go through a spiritual awakening, which is a beautiful thing! I’m also 22 and I’ve found this past year so draining but also so eye opening. I see you and hear you girl! Thank you for creating such a safe space for all of us in our 20 somethings ❤️
oh halle I’m 23 and u put so many of my confusing thoughts and feelings into a beautiful video
Love these little reflections- they make me feel less alone. Trust your intuition!! You can't control everything!! Such good reminders.
Halle, i relate to you more than you can imagine. Thank you for making these.
Everything is going to be alright. It's okay to feel lost sometimes. We all love you, Halle! 🙌🏻
How do you know everyone loves her. Just worry about yourself and speaking for you.
This video was very artistic. Holy.
The atmosphere, soundtrack, and your voice just resembles silent hill 😂
This could absolutely be the first 10 minutes of an indie film, right before some crazy life changing stuff happens to the girl in the story. Pure ART!
Been watching you since 2020. You are the best RUclipsr I have come across 🙌🏼
I enjoy your openness & your sense of humour. You are fun Halle! You are a precious soul Halle.
I'm 27 and I relate to this/ still feel like this! This makes me feel so seen, heard and not like i'm insane and alone, in overthinking and the kind of thoughts I have ( like the patterns as signs, being closed off in relationships, wallowing in one's music and indecisiveness!) Last summer, I sat alone in a co-op parking lot, at dusk, eating the only vegan sandwich Subway sells in England and felt exactly like this. I was going through one of the worst times of my life but it still felt mellow in the manner that this video does. Also, love the sandwich review and the one you made in the end looks mouth-watering!! x ❤
PS- I'm embarrassed of doing the most "me" things too and my sandwich had the mild spicy chipotle sauce , as the lady at the till suggested because I don't have the tolerance for the spicier version
My dear Halle, I'm turning 26 years this year. I truly understand how you feel. For me it happened last year, I left my boyfriend, who I thought I'd actually marry one day. it's been 6 months now. And my first reaction once I accepted the break up, was that I felt like a new born baby who doesn't know where she's going in life. I started questioning everything I did.
I have lived in a different country since I was 18, far away from my family. I tend to enjoy time by myself and I prefer not opening up. My friends told me what they told you, that I'm very closed to myself. Three months after the breakup I decided to talk to my mom on the phone one day, and I told her exactly how I felt. She told me that she felt that I was transitioning to an adult.
The thing is that even today, if there's something I remind myself is that, maybe we shouldn't overthink everything. I know it's difficult, almost impossible sometimes. Something I realized is that, since I finished my engineering studies, I have changed quite a lot. I do put myself first. I'm currently doing a PhD which is stressful but it does remind me how to find time for things that make you feel good. I think the best advice is to be grateful for the things life provides us on a daily basis and mostly our health. For the purpose in life, I trust that we'll find it. 💕
❤
I’m 17 and I can relate, you are what is called a Hero’s Journey is what my teacher calls it. I’ve been there everyone has at least goes through one, but you can have multiple in life. Just know it does end on a good note you were once X and then you will be Y and that’s a good thing, remember that. You’ll be a better version than you once were. One thing I can say is don’t let ‘the hurt’ hurt completely to where it swallows you, have a boundary and know that boundary, you can use the hurt to build strength and resilience but remember YOUR boundary. I didn’t have one and in some way I died but I’m coming back slowly but surely. Also some sad music is fire, but don’t listen to it too often because at this stage it can cause more pain, if that’s you goal as you said to experience it, then I wish you luck and I pray for you maybe one day when you reach the end of your Hero’s Journey you should make a video about it have a good day!
Seconding all of this !! And thank you bc I needed to hear this.
@@spacebar9733 glad I can help:)
Yes, thank you. What a wonderful comment. I like that a hero’s journey.
I can relate to a lot of the things you have said as someone who is 20. I catch myself changing almost every day and it stress me out thinking about it, it feels like I don’t know myself and I’m stuck lol but anyways, you are extremely beautiful!! I saw one of your RUclips shorts today, and your energy, your calmness and your aura just pulls me (idk how to explain it😂) something about you just gives me peace😌 I hope you have a wonderful, blessed, loving life🫶🏾
Your messages, the background music, your disruptive ideas... all takes me back to my 20s. I am in my mid 40s now. You're one in a million! 🥂
Your insights are incredible im 22 turning 23 and I felt everything you said! Totally right about just accepting the ambiguity of things and normalizing it, but my thoughts always defer. 🙃
Just turned 27 here, and yes Halle life will test your identity and many times throughout the years and it's okay we are changing throughout the years too! the human nature is fluctuating and i don't believe in a fixed and consistant identity in such a young age. Enjoy we're still young. i'm glad you're back making videos again because we missed that! You look more healthier and prettier ❤
This is the most relatable and beautifully calming video I've ever watched. Thank you dear Halle for sharing some light!
Hey Halle! Been watching your videos for gosh knows how long now and happy to see another post :) I’m 22 also so this video felt like you were reading out my own thoughts😂. One thing I do is to try not to take anything too seriously. Been watching movies recently like Frances Ha and 500 Days of Summer and since then I keep telling myself to be more like Frances Ha and Summer. Just live life authentically and try not to overthink everything. Hopefully one day all the puzzle pieces will come together but it’s important to just keep moving forward in life and try to enjoy whatever comes your way (and also seek for things out of your comfort zone so you can be exposed to new things which might lead to gosh knows what and where else). I guess nothing is planned in life as much as you try to plan it out and things never end up the way you expected, but just try to enjoy the process and not be too hard on yourself :). Just be grateful for your health, nature, good food, the close people around you, and whatever else makes life enjoyable. My life got fully flipped around last year once I got covid. I had finally felt like I had started in some sort of pathway in life with landing my first real job out of college as an engineer, being surrounded and living with my close friends, and be able to enjoy the little things in life like learning, nature, health, good food, and playing some professional tennis. But since I had gotten covid, I had lost all those things that made up my identity as I have been stuck most days in a dark room in my parents home unable to even leave the house to do any of those things that I used to love doing due to many health issues triggered by covid. I am undiagnosed and nobody knows how to help me and I haven’t gotten any better since and it’s been like 16 months. Not trying to make this a sad post but the point im trying to make is that I would do absolutely anything to have my old life back, so just try not to take for granted the simple things in life like the outdoors, the sun, laughter and kindness from others around ya and just try to enjoy everything that’s around ya :) And don’t worry about me because I have found ways to enjoy the little things in my “little” life now 😂. Life is all about perspective from what I have learned, so if ya ever feel bad to try to change your perspective on things. It can be a physical change like sitting somewhere you have never say before (maybe a new bench lol) or a mental change in perspective (if it can be obtained because I know it is hard to do at times when most needed).
Oh gosh this post is all over the place sorry 😂. Anywho, if you ever feel down I would honestly recommend watching Frances Ha just for the ending of the movie because your video reminded me of this film. Just remember to always move forward in life and hopefully one day the puzzle pieces will all come together and things will make more sense and you will be at more ease (hopefully lol. All we can do is hope😂). Oh gosh I need to go back to bed it’s 3am😂. Happy I stumbled across your video rn as I woke up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. I hope nothing but the best from ya! You helped me get through my college years and made my day each time I saw a new video posted. Something about ya makes people feel at ease so thank you! Hope to continue to see more from ya in the future :) Nothing but love -Caroline
Halle, your light, your personality, your way of observing every little detail of what surrounds you makes of your videos a moment of calm in a world that is not always so. I live in France far away and yet these few minutes always make me feel like I'm spending time with a loved one.
Thank you for everything
You just described an infj personality as an infj I totally relate
You say all this and still create works of pure art everytime you post on RUclips. You are artistic, creative, and decisive. Your quietude and admiration for the world around you is incredible. it’s okay to not have it all figured out. It’s okay to not know how to survive in your own thoughts and with other people’s. As someone who has felt like that my whole life and is 19, I get that. It takes those periods of contradictions and reflections and transparency with yourself and others to see and feel more clearly. And that just takes time. Halle, hang in there, you’re crushing it.
Sending you so much love❤️
Yes! These thoughts are what it means to be an active participant in your own life. Keep living!! It doesn’t always get easier, but your approach and perspective and curiosity will continue to make all the difference. Thank you for sharing.
You have a kind heart and a gentle soul that makes you a beautiful person. Keep doing what you’re doing, I appreciate you.
I thought I'm the only one who sees and feels that there are signs around me. And like these almost heart wrenching songs and finding peace while listening to them. This video made me feel great about myself. I'm 29 and used to think I had it all figured out when I was 16-18 and I'm here still trying to figure out my life.
I really like the way you shot this video. Filters, aspect ratios, and the vegan fast food clips all just make such a sick vibe.
I too am closed off...it takes me a while to warm up to someone( that's not a bad thing) saying F *** It! Is thearapic at times!💜Btw that sandwich look so good💙💜
Most older folks will tell you they would not want to live their twenties over again. Its a strange, learning, growing, changing time in one's life. Not easy. You are a superb documentary film maker, a unique and talented individual, possibly an empath. Empaths have to often spend time alone to recharge because we absorb others people's energy so easily. My Mom's best advise: "be yourself" which for me translates into follow your heart (inner voice), (inner guidance). You are very much appreciated and admired for who you are Halle. ❤
I resonate so deeply with everything you said in this video... you've always been my number one comfort person to watch but this video in particular really stood out. thank you for capturing the scariness and beauty of navigating life in your twenties :,)
Halleth, you mustn’t worry. It’s better to overthink than to not think at all
It took me 5 years after high school to find out what I want to do.
Now at 23 I know that I want to study computer science.
Thankfully college is basically free in Germany.
It is never too late. Some of my old class mates are doing their masters, but I don’t feel like I could’ve done what I will have to do from this fall on right after high school.
I’m a completely different person now. I’m happy about all of my friends that I’ve met at the job I’ve been working at since high school. I don’t know where I would be without them.
Everything happens for a reason❤️
PS: I wrote the comment before I watched the video.
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve felt lost the last 5 years, and I had to reinvent myself, while also staying true to the best values I used to have. Just listen to your heart and that ‘bigger thing’ telling you to do or not to do stuff. You’ll figure all of this out. Just maybe not how you might think
This video and the comment section are so comforting ♥️ thank you
The whopper review from the gas station floor was quite exhilarating. You’re awesome Halle, keep creating.
I think before your 20s, you're just observing the world with rose colored sunglasses. It's much easier to stroll through life and be satisfied with who you are. Then gradually, as you start observing how cruel reality really is, and become more perceptive of life, the negative feelings start pouring in, and it mostly starts by shaking your self identity. And these feelings never really go away, you just learn how to cope with them. So just try and find who you are Hallie, and stay true to your nature. You are not too reserved or too this or too that, you're just you. And you're wonderful.
It’s so good to see u back girl :) I know this time in your life must be really tough and confusing and I def can relate. I’ve been watching your videos since I was a junior in high school and now that I’m a freshman in college I feel like I relate to your videos so much more. It means a lot to me to see you back and creating at a time where I feel pretty lost too. We are all rooting for you. ❤
you're amazing, your shots are amazing, your words seem to always voice the feelings in my head. thank you!!
Halle, this video is so relatable it’s scary. Thank you for putting yourself out there. So deeply and precisely. Your integrity is admirable. I saw things through your eyes. Your perspective shone, and distinguished itself.
What an amazing feeling to connect with someone’s art, and resonate with it.
I love how flowy this video was and thank you for sharing your insight about navigating your twenties. It's hard and scary but so exciting and beautiful at the same time!
26 year old female here, I’m still in this phase. I’ve always felt it to be “lost”, but you helped articulate this lostness, this ambiguity as you said best, in a such a way that I can appreciate it. Thank you! Keep it up girl. Keep being as open minded as you are and trying the new things “until they stick”. Really beautiful video Halle! Wishing you and all the ambiguous people, all the best 💕
36 year old female here. I still feel this… I’m now a parent and kinda thought it would have gone away by now haha! I don’t think there’s a “destination” you reach at any set age. It’s a journey. You will probably feel this lost feeling throughout your whole life at different points. Trying to tell myself that’s ok ❤
@@rawganic5183 I guess if we had it all figured out, things wouldn’t be as fun. Gotta keep it interesting, with plot twists and all 🎉🥳💗
@@damariscano718 totally
This isn't meant to imply anything, but I've been dealing with a lot of the same issues (closed off from friends, unsure of myself, not being able to be myself out of fear and embarrassment), and in the past few months, I've learned that all of this has come from my undiagnosed autism. Learning more about that has helped me better understand why I experience all of these things, seemingly to a higher degree than most people. I hope you're able to find some clarity in all the things you're experiencing
I get you. We are all soul searching. You are definitely in the introspective phase of dinding yourself. You are also extremely aware. You seem like a very authentic person. That's pretty cool. It's not very common. Congrats on your journey to finding your true self❤
If one can't "overthink" in one's twenties when can they do it? Same goes for "underthinking". Yes, "patterns" may well be intuition of the type which is trying to grasp some knowledge before experiencing it... looking at it to see if there is something more pertinent, more behind the view... I remember you locked out & decided to break back into ur apartment... you hardly hesistated & acted quickly, intuitively. Good work, a "good rap" so to speak. Don't take ur friends opinions to heart, sounds as if you are doing just fine dimples. Some people question more things and can be known as "special". Your background doesn't lie Halle. Stay focussed stay happy.
I don’t see you as indecisive. I see you as creative and exploratory.
🔥Profound ...you KEEP IT REAL, one of manny reasons I follow your journey...SHINE ON and STAY TRUE to YOU Halle..walk your own path, I have faith in you💯🙌🙏✨💫
you’re so human i love it
Also 22 and really really resonating with every word you’re saying . Needed this. Thank you
I’m 40 and I’m still learning a lot .. you realize there are allllllllll types of characters out here
I am 22 and feel everything you're talking about. SO relatable. please keep being you! and if that means more videos like this, yay!!! we'd be good friends
Your honesty, sincerity, and simplicity with which you deliver your thoughts are so refreshing and real. You’ll be all right. Enjoy your journey…
I'm turning 30 in less than a year and trust me you do not want to experience that level of pain. Not saying to avoid experiences but don't actively pursue something you know will cause you a lot of emotional damage if you don't have to. Also at 22 I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do and I can definitely say I do now so just pursue your interests and your life path will become clearer and clearer :)
I'm in my 30s now, I think back on my 20s and noticed that I was so so lost. I've never been so lost but I had no idea, I didn't even know what I was looking for. Eventually in my late 20s and early 30s, I started to learn about secure attachment. That was exactly what I was looking for and it taught me I had an insecure attachment style, avoidant, which stemmed from my relationship with my parents. After learning about that, so much of my life seemed to make so much more sense. I was able to navigate my world better.
Being in your 20s is the best time for discovery and experiencing new things.
The trees are so gorgeous around you!
That is exactly what intuition is, it’s about making connections/seeing patterns subconsciously. You’re able to foresee what may occur without really being able to explain how.
I’m 28 and I definitely relate, your 20s are meant for you to just truly learn about yourself/mistakes and experience what life has to offer. I was guilty of overthinking what others thought about me and everything in my life, but learned to just not give a shit.
I listened to ’The River’ from one of your playlist "Play Me" today. What a beautiful song❤ Thank you Halle!
Halle, you motivate me so much. can’t thank you enough!! You’re one of my inspirations to get out of my comfort zone and explore. Again Thank you.
Hello from Austria. I accidentally saw some of your vegan so-called cookery shows on this channel.
Cooking is something for the soul and I believe that you will get your answer to all your questions. Wondering why? I'm a chef myself and I found my fulfilment in it 40 years ago.
Keep up the good work, I am convinced that you will lead a happy life.
This was your best video so far. Very poetic. Your way of thinking reminds me of my own when I was your age. You're a child of nature.
This video has been in my thoughts, and I hope that what you collect from these comments is that you are doing good in many peoples eyes, and you should at least rest with that a bit❤ Thaml you for sharing. Even if you don't know what is happening or why, I think you have the right eye and thoughts to figure it out slowly with time and experience, if there is such a thing as "figuring out" ourself and the life we live.
the 20s are a time for new experiences. do everything that even slightly interests you. only through experiencing will you know what you want to do. what you end up loving may not have the best financial output, but in terms of happiness or whatever it is you're looking to get out of life, it will be worth it. live your 20s Halle! im 26 and have yet to figure out what it is i truly want to do in life. I'd say you're definitely on the right track on finding your calling. just remember you're in charge of your life.
God bless and cant wait for your next video!
When I was going through my 20s it was with a traumatic brain injury that I had at 19, and being an introverted and introspective person, I think it has made me suited to glean some wisdom from the experience and share it as things I wish I'd known. For instance, don't be afraid to think a whole lot about things. Look at the big picture. Try to understand the big picture, your place in it, and how to change it for the better. This will make your life progress more smoothly and aid in that confidence which then translates to your identity becoming more real to you and everyone else. Learn to laugh at yourself, not in a ridiculing way but in a good natured way. What really can you do about mistakes but recover, and recovery is half the fun. Plus if you learn to laugh at yourself, it's really hard to care what other people think when they aren't thinking anything good and think you should know. There's more to depth of music and emotion than just intense pain and deep sorrow. There's great love and joy too. Let yourself feel those things, even if they don't have an object, and then you don't have to wallow, you can let it inspire you to express yourself, like with art, music of your own, whatever. Lastly and most importantly, that monumental love is so much more than a feeling. It will have that incredible amount of emotion that it produces, but the love is greater and it isn't something we're even capable of. As close as we could get to it on our own would be the intense emotional experience that would end in the ruin that singers write songs about, because we are just so naturally selfish. When we humans go to Christ with acceptance of that, and look to Him for what we need and don't have, He then enables us to love with His greater love that isn't determined by our weakness, and so we get all the experience with all the emotion but no reason ever to wallow in sadness.
Wow I loved and really needed this video. As someone who’s feeling the exact same way at 23 it actually made me see the hope & beauty in it? Thank you for sharing this 🫡🫶🏻
You’re exactly right. You’ll never hate someone as much as someone you trusted enough to love in the first place
Aww Halle, I love your videos! I've just turned 30 and questioning the meaning of everything but thinking fuck it the most important thing is happiness and that's what I'm aiming for. You seem such a lovely person, don't be embarrassed for being you!
Loved it. The aesthetics, the deep words, the mixed in food reviews - this was epic!
Commenting so I can watch your videos more often ❤. I was having a bad day and I came across your cooking video on reels, it gave me so much calmness. Thank you Halle:)
"let what hurts you hurt you, what loves you love you" thankyou for saying that i'm right in doing the same
Your channel is one of a kind and we really enjoy getting to hear your point of view on things.
long time fan. this is my favorite video of yours, made me feel a lot. missed u :/
i hope you never remove this video, no matter how different it is from your others. the post-grad identity crisis and depression is beyond real. i dont know how we're meant to find ourselves among it all, i feel the need to run away in order to do so, so i empathize with your feeling to shut everyone out. i hope India was helpful in any way. maybe our identity feels so lost because its going through a metamorphosis. i hope time will be on our side, and patience and meditation may help with the lost feelings.
taco bell crunch wrap vegan supreme + shake shack new veggie burger no cheese >>> + new vegan milkshake.
Had to find a video of yours to make a comment. I’ve been so impressed with your short videos and taking notes down because I need to find ways to support my wife who has cancer and nutrition is becoming a real challenge for me to help with. If you have great ideas please reach out to me. You are amazing with how creative you are with food at such a young age already it blows me away. Cheers to you.
Best piece of advice was to use 2 ears and 1 mouth in that order. Learning to be more perceptive as well, and also in my 20s feeling lost, anxious, overwhelmed at times….loved this so much.
fyi, I’m also a new creator reflecting on young adulthood. If you’re seeing this - it might be for a reason ❤
“A voice within me is sobbing . . . until I just can't keep it up anymore, because when everybody starts hovering over me, I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world."
Reminded me of this passage from Anne Frank's diary.
5:37 you’re right. Pain and love aren’t opposites, they complete each other. When you let yourself truly love something, you accept that you’re giving it the ability to hurt you. It’s not careless or reckless. It’s delicately decisive.
You’re such a beautiful human in and out, a true inspiration…. Just keep doing what you’re doing and move forward ❤🙏
I love the yellow ladder. Awesome. I consider myself chronically ill and there is so much to worry about,. There are so many rabbit holes to go down. There are so many dead ends and alternative ideas. It's exhausting. Im just now I think getting out of a dark ocd spiral. I hope your indecision isn't obsessive and compulsive thoughts. It can take the mind to crazy places. I really resonate with intuition and how it can feel right, but wrong, and it's hard to know. For me I've discovered intuition is an internal feeling. So you have to be in one's body. External seeking, idealizing, craving, wishing, yearning, that's not intuition. Thats the heart screaming for self-love. Pain is a million lessons so it's beautiful. and if you can zoom out and see how beautiful, light, and loving everything is a lot of this stuff dissolves. It's hard to do. Sometimes I think it's just sa wild fantasy I have, especially when darkness or confusion seems independent of my intention. the best stories have terrible things in them, but in the end, its just life distilled. consciousness is so fragile. and maybe sometimes things feel confusing or directionless, but life is worthy and loving because it's passing is substantial- to the internal life, life is hard so even the boringest of times are important. please be kind to yourself and love yourself! find the stillness of the moment that's richest high there is.
crazy seeing this cuz I've been over thinking and scared af and its been so dark so i just. heart
You have the most beautiful spirit of anyone. You are an angel.
your videos are worth every second, i feel so connected to what you're saying and sharing the whole time
this really resonated with me, both in video style and being an indifferent person in my twenties. loved it
This is the kind of videos I would like to see more in the world, not rushing, not tailored to an audience, very creative and introspective. Also I think there is a philosophical metaphor in the making-your-own-vegan=option thing though it is left unpronounced haha
I been exactly where you are - if there’s any advice I have it’s to enjoy the process. Learn to get out of your head sometimes tho. I know it’s easier said than done but teach yourself to enjoy being confused/lost if that makes sense lol. It’s all part of a bigger picture and everything will fall into place when the time is right. You’re on the path to become who you’re meant to be. That fact you’re feeling like this is to do with the fact that you know you’re meant for more.
Have faith in that
Ok it definitely gets clearer with age truuuust me. 25 is usually the turning point where it begins to make sense
And also remember - breakdowns lead to breakthroughs
I'm 22 too and thank you for this. I needed it tbh
Completely natural to feel this way at that age .. just know that Jesus loves you and keep ppl you can really trust around and stay away from the ones who seem sketchy..❤bk, good fries 2..
What a beautiful video you have created, Halle. I truly wish you the best with 2024. I have also only just started to recognize certain aspects of myself in my early twenties now, and there's a lot more to figure out. But I know we can do this! ❤
Try to realise it's all within yourself, no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small, and life flows on within you and without you
-George Harrison
I remember being 18 or 19 (I’m 28 now) and I didn’t want to get older. My therapist at the time shared a good song with me. The song is called Time by Pink Floyd. The song opened my eyes and I went from being a very tense and anxious individual to one who is content with life. I’m more relaxed as well. I thought I was lost but as I’ve gotten older I realize that maybe that wasn’t the case at all. Whatever will be, will be. Just know that you’ll be alright no matter what happens. Have a great day and May you be blessed with good ties!👌🏽
I hope my daughter can be as wonderful as you Halle - your peace , mind , and sense of grounding , young , and spirited . I wish you well on this journey we call life 😊
Half way in you’re saying everything I’m feeling at 28 im like am I okay no the world just sucks but it’s also great and you have to just make sense of those contradictions still everyday 😂
I saw her cooking vids and didn’t think much of her but this. Wow i love this side of her
This is one of the most RELATABLE videos i have ever seen, hope you get to see shY you truly are in the journey that you just began, i wish to do the same with what I'm doing ❤
