    I'm 41, but I have never stopped feeling like 20. I wish you the same, Lena! My life has been very lonely, but I've never been miserable, always seeing the light ahead.

    "sit with your uncomfortable feelings" resonated with me a lot, especially since turning 25 and realizing a lot of the things from my childhood still linger in how I interact with the world till this day. I used to think that with time, things heal naturally but I've come to understand it takes more active work which is why I'm making it a priority in the next year to seek therapy and put more effort into dealing with uncomfortable feelings.

    I first used a dating app on a trip to Paris when I was 27, with the romantic notion that I'd meet my life partner travelling (like how my parents met in Tbilisi). Instead, I ended up meeting him on a dating app at home in Canada, at age 31, during the pandemic! While I wouldn't change a thing, I'd say people in their 20s should live with intention, but with an openness to the right things taking time. Like you said, without rushing life along! 💛

    I’m 42 and can still relate to all of these so much. For anyone who thinks they will have it all figured out just know that you won’t. Lol and thats not a bad thing! We just continue to learn and grow and even as you age deep down you will still feel like you’re 20 and figuring it out. But I will say 40’s are amazing. I love your page so much and you are such an old soul. Wise words, thank you for sharing!

I finished my bachelors in July and moved overseas and am now working and having to do stuff on my own without my friends and family close by and also no partner has been tough.

    You and I are on the same path, continents apart. I’m turning 28 soon. Left my corporate law job in a city I loved, streets bustling always something to do. I have no clue where I’m headed. Not applying for jobs anymore. Travelled to Spain and Portugal. Will to Indonesia and Australia soon. Am single since the last 2.5 years and haven’t been dating intentionally. Mostly because I didn’t know where I wanted my roots to be or what I wanted to “become” in life. Lowkey I’d love a long term relationship now. Finally made a list of don’ts and feels so good, it’s progress. Shifted back to my parent’s for a month, shifting to a beach town soon to try out living by a beach finally :) allowing myself to feel everything and experience different lifestyles. I probably sounded crazy to many of my friends and family but so many people tell me how bold I am. More than anything, I don’t care about what anyone thinks anymore as long as I got me. I go through the same pain of living in two different places - loving the hustle of Bombay whilst still not calling it “home” anymore. Miss my friends but I remind myself that I gotta give in to my gut telling me to explore and run free for some time atleast! This video is so well thought out, kudos to you and I hope to meet you somewhere across the world :) Love, Saumya

    • @laurakorn4486

      I love how you used the word 'shifting' - it makes it feel like a gentle transformation, change, a curiosity, rather than like any feelings of shame or embarrassment about living back at your family home. We would love to have you in Australia! I hope your journey is a fruitful and grounding one for you :)

    Success can only be defined by yourself and what makes you happy. Are you thinking you are happy because other people told you to achieve certain things? Did you want to achieve them? Use that knowledge to game the system but continue to push towards what you want. The old phrase of US capitalism is broken

    Did you mean to say “I recently turned 20” at the start of the video?

    Hate the term “girlboss”. You would never refer to a man as a “boyboss”. Same goes for “woman engineer” or “mum-prenuer”.
