Hearing “and I wake up happy everyday” made me tear up because you could really hear the happiness in your voice. I’m so glad you’re happy. Watching you grow over the last couple of years has been inspiring. You are amazing ❤
keelin this made me cry, i didn't realise how much i needed to hear that it's okay for me to fail. ive never felt compelled to comment on a youtube video, but this moved me and i wanted to thank you for your words
Your monologue at the end of this, just before your TikTok, is absolutely gorgeous (as is the TikTok for that matter). I’m a pretty new follower and have already taken sooo much from your wisdom and outlook on life. Thank you for sharing so openly! I think your daughter is very lucky to get to have you as her model x
Re: the fear of losing your progress. What helps me a lot (and was introduced by my therapist) is to look at responses and especially older patterns showing up, as information. Its an indicator that something is going on. Asking questions from a place of curiosity instead of shame can be so helpful. Life goes up and down, shit happens, we weather storms too big for us sometimes. Progress is not "this thing that i used to struggle with is gone forever and now im stable forever" its "this thing that i used to struggle with shows up every now and then and i find it easier and easier to cope with until one day maybe i wont have to cope with it at all". An old pattern showing up doesnt negate your progress, if anything it allows you to see how your progress can change how you respond to the older pattern. Its all about mental agility baby! You got this.
I lost my younger sister in 2022 and watching your videos makes me feel a little less scared to let myself feel my emotions, and maybe one day be a parent (something I’ve pushed the option off down to avoid the vulnerability that comes with being a mum), you are such a wonderful beacon of hope❤ thank you Keelin x
There was a spot I remember when I lived in Howth, just up past the summit pub and the windows were always fogged up 😭😭😭 I presume maybe people drive up the mountains??? It’s DESPERATE out here
keelin I've been watching you for years but rarely comment and I just wanted to say that this is the most vibrant I've seen you. I'm constantly learning from your wisdom and your daughter is so lucky to have someone like you as a mother. I'm always rooting for you!!!! Thank you for always sharing your words with us, these videos feel like a warm hug.
Keelin thanks so much for talking about your faith. Like you I grew up catholic but my parents were scarred by the church so aside from school where I actually enjoyed prayer.. it wasn’t really a thing in our household. Few months ago I downloaded a trial for a prayer app. But forgot to cancel it 😂so ended up paying for the year. Then I thought sure I might aswell use it. I’ve been doing a ten min daily gospel meditation every day on the way to work and it’s honestly helped soooo much. It’s interactive and I look forward to it every day. Feeling way more confident. Thanks for sharing ❤
Ugh I feel so validated and uplifted as a mom because I also feel like a failure these days weehewww. I watch you ( and resonate with you so much) from Egypt. LUUUUURRRRVVVVV YYYAAAWWW
You are quite literally my comfort RUclipsr💕 and thank you for sharing the raw you in such a different way compared to everyone else it’s so so refreshing!
You havent been on my recommended for a while (not sure because I am subscribed), but it’s so refreshing to hear from you again. I love your content, it’s so soothing. Thank you for sharing the rawness of things with us
I’ve been following you for years like since the “please watch” video and as u were talking about being a failure I was just thinking you were the catalyst that steered my education towards environmental law and I really hope to stay on this path (but who knows haha). so maybe the takeaway I got is failure is defined from where you’re standing bcus I admire the way you’ve always been able to be authentically yourself and communicate with passion and emotion behind every word! That is not failure in my eyes!
the way i teared up when you said i walk up happy everyday :’) i hope i’m able to feel that someday. your video to your sisters made me cry. you have such a beautiful way of breathing nostalgia into your viewers. the type of nostalgia melancholically beautiful. i feel nostalgic for a life that wasn’t even mine. thank you
Im trying to get out of a very deep depression. I miss the times as a child when id wake up happy and excited for the day. I have so much to be grateful for and i am, i just wish my mind could let me feel it always.
Keelin I had the same fears about me returning to my pre preg and BF hormones but my cycle is like clockwork, used to be longer and shorter each month, and I feel much more at ease in it?? It’s crazy! I feel that addiction to chaos, spent my whole 20s travelling/working/partying and it was hectic and now I’m like what’s this little person need from me ❤ let’s be the best for them! I work part time too, just found a childminder 2 days a week found on FB from my area! I love going to Samye Dzong in Kilmainham Buddhist Centre for their meditation classes, scratches the religion itch 😂😂
I'm the same age as you. When I was born, my mum was in a similar position to you now. I remember it being just the two of us the majority of the time. The big difference is your level of acceptance for your situation, and knowing the most important thing is the bond with your daughter and making sure she feels emotionally safe. And I know we just see a snippet of your time, but there is so much safety there, it makes me emotional to see. I didn't have that experience, my mum was very distressed by our situation, that was shown to me quite openly and I absorbed a lot of it. I just wanted to write this comment to commend you for what an amazing mum you are, your emotional awareness, your commitment to her. Even in a world of uncertainty and change for a mother, all a child needs is to know that they have the constant of you and your love. You're amazing and you're doing amazing 🩷
Love your videos and your honest take on yourself and life. ❤ Side note, you inspired me to take a solo trip to Ireland. I went for a week, got back to Toronto recently and it was the best trip of my life. I think it was the atmosphere of your videos that made me want to experience Ireland. I visited Dublin, Galway, and Belfast. I told a couple of locals who asked, "A youtuber inspired me to come here!" Anyway, just thought I'd let ya know that watching your RUclips videos essentially changed my life. ❤😊 Lots of love from Toronto Canada!
Currently in my first year of college and to be honest im really not enjoying it as much as i had thought i would and am really really conflicted about doing second year. I dont have any set career that i want to do. I feel like a degree would be a good thing to have but i just dont know what for yet. I have an interest in the subjects but no passion and i thought the the social element would be a lot more fun i dont know i just dont feel fulfilled at the moment but also dont know what else to do with myself beside college. It's nice to hear other people talk about this ugh i wish i knew the answers to life but then i suppose there would be no fun in that lol
I have no sort of perseverance or patience when it comes to things like this but I also wish I did a little bit to get a better perspective. I always thought I was wasting my precious time doing something I didn’t enjoy 100% of the time but it was seeking immediate gratification which education does not offer, I’ve only found the enjoyment of education in the last couple of years due to practicing delayed gratification. A few tips for how to enjoy the college/uni experience is to join more society’s & clubs, say yes to every event and talk to professors/tutors more. I totally isolated myself in every 3rd level experience because I was scared of rejection
@@KeelinMoncrieff that's definitely a good point about delayed gratification I've never thought of that before, university kinda feels like your going in and out everyday and learning nothing but when you actually reflect on what you've learned over a period of time you realize you've learned more than you think. It's definitely very hard to know if something is worth your time when you're in the process of doing it, it seems to be when you finish doing something you are able to reflect more.
You are an amazing mother, you’re so lucky to have each other, it’s so sweet to see the small glimpses while fully respecting that you want to maintain her privacy
I never really comment but- I’ve been watching you for years Keelin. I cried so much watching the woman’s day video, you can tell love was put into making it. Your videos and the way you view life is so refreshing and gives me strength to carry on. I truly wish you all the best in everything you do. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as a mother. Sending you lots of love.
‘No Rachel, I’m doing yoga ‘ made me stop and burst out laughing. Realest thing I’ve ever heard. My son just turned two wowie - 24 almost 25 year old mummy from 🇨🇦
I love your videos so much Keelin:)🌸I wish you were my friend. Your presence is so peaceful🌟Space you create makes me feel like back in my childhood home very safe and warm 💖✨🍀
God bless you! You have, as many of us have in the past, discovered the pure and simple joy of selfless service that only a child calls out of us. Your mother and father should take a bow; this is the harvest they sowed, that you and your beautiful child can now reap it together. Your gratitude for simple things is the key to lifelong happiness BTW. To have no pain, physical or mental, when you wake each day is not a small thing; it's a gift that each of us who gets to enjoy it, should get down on our knees and thank God for every day. But most of all, I love how much you love your life as a mother. That is divine work you are doing; no man can hope to know the bond you and your sweet little child share. As a dad, I know my sons love me and respect me, but they would die a thousand deaths before they would see their mother insulted or hurt in any way. That's the magic elixir that turns love and devotion to a child into endless joy, and joins lives and links hearts forever. Lastly. I hope you don't give up on God; as one who walked away from him and found my way back, I know you will never regret having a personal relationship with the true Christ. May you always be at least as happy as you two are now, and I will remember both of you in my prayers.
This video makes me feel close to the younger version of my mum. She’s a single parent and she’s the light of my life. Seeing you with your daughter makes me wish I could remember being a toddler. She also says that she woke up happy every day next to me. 🥰
@@KeelinMoncrieff we do! And it’s the best! She bought a house a few years ago and we’ve designed it exactly how we want. Painted everything shades of pink, got all antique furniture, a garden of flowers. My home is my paradise. 🌸🦋💕 honestly it’s such a flex for me that I’ve never had to clean up after a man or watch my mom do it either.
i love your videos so much! i have been watching you for many years, and i can assure you that you've grown so much the past years with being pregnant and being a mother. happy belated mothers day!! and btw if you see this comment, i was wondering what yoga videos you watch.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️ I usually look up on RUclips what I’m feeling that day for eg ‘yoga for period cramps’ ‘yoga for posture correction’ ‘yoga for flexibility’ etc I love yoga with Adrienne because they’re all relatively easy
Hey keelin, sorry this isn't about the video, but I'm 4.5months pp and have just recently stated loosing soooo much hair. More than I even thought possible, I feel like I'm gonna go bald or something. I know you struggled with this a bit also... What helped?
Oh Ellie you poor thing I found this phase horrible ! The best thing I found was oil massages 💆♀️ on my scalp. Book in for an Indian head massage if you can find the time (you deserve it) it will however take a while to grow back. The most of my loss was during wintertime so I wore a lot of hats 🧢 it will grow back so do not worry!
Definitely the impulses fade away.. Now that I've turned 26 I feel like I've leaped in stability 😂 thank god, definitely had these "demon" thoughts too hahaha If that's reassuring at all. All my sisters also "wised up* at 26/27, I think its the brain filling out and you stop self sabotaging (as much) 😂
i too have always struggled with feeling like a failure and i read this really interesting book called "failosophy" obvs its cliche but i totally recommend
"I'm enraptured by the morning sun and elated by my daughter's laugh and at piece with my reflection", bawling 😭❤️❤️
Hearing “and I wake up happy everyday” made me tear up because you could really hear the happiness in your voice. I’m so glad you’re happy. Watching you grow over the last couple of years has been inspiring. You are amazing ❤
