I hate looking around me, seeing people who seem satisfied, and wondering what is wrong with /me/. Why am I the problem? In the absence of my own goals, I've absorbed theirs. An employer's rubric satisfied, not mine. Where people's entire purpose in life is going from Professional 1, to Professional 2, and perhaps someday to Professional 3. It goes from resent of myself, to resent of them, more convenient than introspecting. I would have saved myself a lot of time and pain to sooner realize I'm simply not like them, and that that is ok.
I am so glad I clicked on this video. I was recommended this and wow, it was a real masterpiece. Life truly is a process and every day, week, month, and year will be different but it will make you a better and wiser person throughout. Being the eldest daughter is a lot but we were chosen for a reason. That reason? Still not sure but what I am sure of is that the eldest daughters, like yourself, are killing it! Keep choosing and seeing the light Cecelia! Also happy (belated?) birthday!
I’m an eldest daughter in an immigrant household… you cannot imagine how many of my feelings and struggles you put into words. I understand how you feel
Hugs. I feel that alienation and distance when even those close to you drop you like that. But I love that you are enjoying your freedom and making the best of your self reflection. From one explorer to another, best wishes 🎉❤
This is the first comment I've ever made though I've been watching tons of vlogging RUclips videos over the last 10 years. But your content and story touch me. I just graduated from uni, not knowing what I should do and feeling exhausted in corporate life every single day, thinking about things my heart truly wants: to see the world and understand who I am. I may still be lost, but knowing there's someone out there already stepped out of her comfort zone to find what she wants means a lot! Thank you so much for the video, it does heal me ❤
Hi Cecilia, this video showed up randomly on my yt and my fingers were quick to click. This is impressive for a 24 year old. You talk like a warrior princess…and are obviously an old soul. I see a great future ahead for you. You gonna rock some shit. This insight is coming from a much older individual who has been living life in a very matrix driven corporate world but on her own terms for the last many years and thriving. Universe loves bold ppl. There are infinite possibilities in this world and you dont need to work your ass off to make money. You just need to learn to go past the monkey mind and bring out your true self, which will then guide you to your next logical step. Best wishes and may you find your peace.
Hi there! This is easily one of my favorite comments and I wanted to thank YOU for your insight and kindness - I felt instantly comforted upon reading this and didn’t realize I needed this support until I was lucky enough to get it from a wonderful stranger. You’re amazing. Wishing you the best!!
Copy and paste this video and write a book. You know you’re talented. No need to be unemployed use this time to put it into a 200 page book then promote it.
I love your videos and just binged on all of them, so don't take what I'm gonna say negatively. I believe it is a mandate to also address one's privileges every time I see an "I quit" video. You're able to "quit" which is a privilege known to a handful of people. You're able to go travelling and soak in the air outside because you do have certain privileges. "Privilege" does not only mean finance but a support system, friends, a roof above your head, a family..a safety net of some sort that would have your back if you do fall at some point. Millions of people out there WISH they could quit their jobs but they can't because if they do they cannot put food on the table. I'm in no way saying you don't have challenges and that you don't have fears about your future now or that is invalid..of course not (quitting takes courage and on the flip side the ambiguity of life ahead definitely becomes a stressor for everyone) but just be mindful about the fact that many people watching your videos might get an unrealistic sense of what they need to do in order to feel liberated. "Quitting" for some may not be the best option even if that's a necessity for their mental and physical well-being. So it would be great if you addressed this almost as a "disclaimer" and were more open about your privileges and perhaps even talked about how you managed to quit your job; smart financial planning, steps you took for change etc. In short, I feel talking openly about privileges needs to be more normalised in my opinion. Keep making more videos! They are an absolute joy to watch and it's honestly therapeutic💛 (excuse the mistakes since english is not my first language)
Yes, this. Ngl I sometimes feel sad watching people who have the resources to free themselves from situations they feel trapped in. Some of us simply can't 😞I mean good for them but I always feel super optimistic watching it and then reality kicks in
Who are you? I am an oldest, first generation. I cried listening to your video. It is how I felt. I moved to US 20 years ago. My family broke apart after all the stress being in a new country...yet I felt I still have a lot of responsibility... annoying Asian mother, selfish and careless brothers...I always think I should do something for other people. I don't know where to begin because, now I am married, I have children yet your video put me in different space and time...when I was 16. Not knowing everything...have voice but no voice at home. Didn't know where life might lead me. ... But you will be okay. Trust me. You will be.
That was really beautiful. I'm not an eldest child, but I'm going through something similar to you right now regardless. Anyway, thank you for sharing.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 696 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place. This channel also inspired me to upload my recent videos to share my opinions about the main things that truly impacted the way I live. They're a couple of my most vulnerable videos that I've been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. They're packed with valuable information about the relationship between a job and happiness.

@progpogs, the truth in your word!!! You have spoken to me

This IS levelling up! Most people are afraid, you're right.
