"being older means your pretty lucky" wow that's such a nice reminder
HELP!!! Everybody at my school cyberbullies me because they say me good good GOOD videos are extremely BAD!!! Please help me, dear ch
How is that lucky
No. It means you were lucky. The odds against you at any given point in time, past a certain point, become increasingly worse than they were were before.
I usually phrase it as "it beats the alternative".
I'd rather not live as long as my grandmother (102). That's a bit much.
1) I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself not the life others expected of me
2) I wish I hadn't worked so hard
3) I wish I had the courage to express my feelings
4) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
5) I wish I had let myself be happier
Thank you
Thank you ❤️
Thank you
As an IT professional, you hit a very personal note with your screaming at the printer. I wonder why printers don't just work daily.
They said it’s called capitalism.
Seriously. Of all possible devices and mechanisms people deal with in IT, printers are probably the most hated.
Printers require more moving parts than other devices people use. That’s why they’re so prone to breaking.
As a graphic designer, same here. Dont let those printers feel your fear!
I love helping people with their printer because it's such an easy way of getting gratification. "Oh thank you so much Ben, what would I do without you!"
the "Anna, play Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo" "I'm not you're fricken Bluetooth" joke was so good
As someone named Alexa, I felt that on spiritual level.

My regret was not pursuing my study much earlier despite knowing my own potential and ability cuz I was waiting for people who don't care to show their "support".
Big oofs on this one, I am so proud of you stranger
My first experience with death was my best friend when I was 21 and she was 20. Brain issue. So I travelled, I loved and I did a lot of things. Really needed this reminder! 💕 And I’m soooo adopting the quote: Aging is a privilege.
My one regret would be working too much but I love my work and it helps people and I feel really fulfilled, but I’m single bc I travelled so much and now I see everyone is coupled up and having kids. I’m seriously thinking if that is something I want, because to get it, I prob need to work less and date more.
You will NOT regret working less to find someone to marry and have children with!
P.S. I am sorry for your loss.
do you want it, or do you think you should want it?
The fact that Anna has resorted to referring to her sponsor as just “Daddy” never doesn’t make me :)
having an anxiety attack, and then seeing an upload by anna: feeling mentally productive already.
I can totally relate. Hope you’re feeling better. Let’s make today a productive day
Yeah, it worked the other way around for me this time
Panic Attack - when coffee just won't do! 🌠
Something I really appreciate about Anna's content is her constant strive to better herself. It makes me want to better myself as well
When people complain about being old, I always say “this is the youngest you’ll ever be again” lol
This is a hell of a post to see on my Birthday and a month after getting a cancerous tumor removed from my leg lol. But seriously, this was good. Thank you.
You got this buddy! Happy bday!
I guess you could say I was 'fortunate' to be misdiagnosed with a terminal illness in my mid 30's because it changed the way I approached my life from then on. Now that I am in my mid 40's and that diagnosis has been corrected to a painful, but non terminal illness, I continue to live my life according to the changes I made a decade ago. So it pleases me to realize that none of these apply to me anymore. But I would imagine my situation is a rather extreme exception to the life most people live.
I'm 24, and all I think about today was my deathbed regrets. Very timely Anna. Thanks for the reminder .
I almost never comment on any videos but I've been following you for 10 years now Anna, I'm 23 so I basically grew up watching you, you helped me improve my english (I live in Brazil and learned english by myself) but also to see life different at key times in my life, I've felt suicidal a lot since I was 13, but seeing your story it made me feel responsible for my loved ones to not make that decision, recently the most important person in my life passed, my mom, it was so quick, out of nowhere, she had a stroke and it's been basically 2 weeks since it happened and I always thought "If my mom dies, I'll kill myself" but I'm numb, I can't process what happened yet and I feel like once I do I'll break because she was actually my everything and now I'm surrounded by people that I hate, aka my father and my sister which I don't hate but it's complicated, I wanna live, I'm agnostic so I don't believe in God or anything so I don't have much faith to cling onto, but I just keep thinking what if; My mom believed in something and I keep thinking, if she sees me, she wouldn't want me to choose that path and I don't want to, but everything is so complicated, I just wish I could live by these rules and have my independence which I still don't at the moment, financially and mentally I guess; I just wanted to say, even if you don't read it, to put it out there that you helped me in a lot of ways, it's really funny how you always seem to know exactly what I'm going through with your videos because they are always in times that I really need them the most, anyway, thanks for this content, I want to live like this, and I'm trying my best, hopefully I'll be able to survive this...
I hope you survive this too. There are many more joys and experiences waiting for you. Please dont give up.
my mom passed recently too, and I'm also stuck with my dad and sister (I also dont get along with them). I was surprised by how much we have in common with this situation when reading your comment. I hope this helps you to know you are not alone, and if you need a stranger to talk to feel free to message me. sending you love ❤ keep fighting, you will have happier days sweetie
Regret #5 all. the. way. It's so hard for me to stay happy - there is always something terrible around the corner, always something to fear. That's something my parents instilled in me that I have yet to remedy. My mom died this year and that has sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I finally have the opportunity to let go of all the pain from emotional abuse, to heal and become my own person, but part of me doesn't want to because that means fully loosing her. I always appreciate your perspective and these videos always seem to come at the perfect time.
I feel you on this completely. My mom passed away as well (I am sorry for your loss, I know how hard it must feel) and it’s been 7 ish years.. she passed when I was 19 and I’m now 26 and still struggle with letting myself be happy. Glad to hear you’re healing though, truly! 💙
when she said your going to die I was like "no I'm not!" so ya in a super healthy phase of denial.
So age is a privilege 🤯.
I needed to hear that especially since my B-day is next week. Thanks Anna here's wishing you many many privileges.
I am currently beating back inflammatory breast cancer with chemo as an agent. At age 51, I imagine I have been thinking about this issue more than most. I love the humor you bring here to such a serious subject :)
Thank you for this upload. My puppy died recently and I've been spending much of the time since regretting not playing with him more, or the times I remember ignoring him because I was busy. He made it to 10, which for a large breed is pretty lucky and I'm trying to be happy I got to spend that much time with him.
That intro was magical ✨ It's so interesting to see how the dying have regrets that were primarily within their control. Truly says a lot about how we shape our own realities 💓
I know that my situation is unique in that I am blessed with enough financial stability to be able to do this (and that is HUGE, I know) but I decided that in January, 2022, I will leave a safe, stable desk job of 17 years, a dead-end job that was unfulfilling and soul sucking, to go and pursue my passions.
Scary? Yes!
Will I have to live off my savings? Yes!
Will I have to make some adjustments? Obviously.
Is it necessary and totally worth it? Most definitely!
Why? Because like everyone else, sooner or later I am going to die. So why not take steps NOW to live a happier life? Who else is supposed to be responsible for my happiness anyway?
Nobody.
just realized she has The Rise of Kyoshi in her bookshelf 🥰
She's even greater than I already thought ❤
Regret (so far, and im only 35): I wish I took a more active role in my driving where my life goes in the past decade instead of go with the flow.
Same and were the same age
At 34, same
I am 35 too and I regret not being so cheap and looking for more experiences and meeting more people.
Being happy is to live in the moment: being content and grateful for what you have and staying present to yourself and your peers. It's hard because usually we are in this anxious mode planning the future and plotting its scenarios in our head. Also living by the lens of social medias: which hijacks us from the present and from what is real.
I glanced away from my monitor just in time to see Anna in my face telling I might die soon and had a minor heart attack
My biggest regret will probably be the regret I have about my life so far, which is a lot like #2. I wish I hadn't needed to waste so much time working instead of living.
Dying poor after spending my whole life working... that'll teach me not to be born rich.
Keeping people on the edge of poverty is how capitalism keeps people so busy with work that they're too exhausted to think clearly about how badly they're being fucked over. Robespierre has entered the chat.
Lulz, just kiddles! Nose boops & a box of puppies! 🧸♥️🐕🌻🥰
It's not that I am not letting myself be happy. My literal circumstances are not letting me be happy.
Keeping up with friends. I'm terrible at keeping up with long-distance friendships despite having moved around for the last 10 years. I used to feel so much shame over this, but since I've realized that I just prefer in-person interaction over virtual. Ironically, after coming to accept this about myself, I've had more interaction with friends over long distance.
I think shame plays a powerful part in why we shy away from getting better at the things that are holding us back.
I sometimes have problems in getting clear who I really am and how my true self would react to things that happen to me. I always feel I should be more responsible or wiser or calmer... So I know how I should react not exactly how I want to react.... I'm gonna focus on this!
I think you need time alone to understand yourself without input from other people good luck
So far I have come to have few regrets. Still having sometimes to look after working too hard and beeing happy with who I am but it is much much easier these days to make myself come back to earth than before.
For Anna: I love your videos so much ! Thank you for sharing a part of you with us! ❤️🙏✨
Have the same list on top of my head. Especially, too many barriers to express my feelings openly these days. Thanks for list!
I'll never get tired of saying that Anna is my free therapist/ wisdom well..❤️❤️
Love your content. This is a good reminder and entertaining. I lost a sibling at a young age, too. I’m gonna try to allow myself to be happier and stop working so hard. Thank you!
At age 42, my biggest regrets are mostly about my personal relationships: love interests that didn't work out, friends who drifted away or died, communication difficulties, etc. I also have some regrets about not applying myself more to higher education.
Can we just appreciate that this lady doesn't feed us lies about anything ? like ..she could have said things like, being focused in achieving our dreams should be our top priority since we are all going to die anyway ..but instead she just explained things on a realistic level ..??? we all know some things and acknowledge them but Anna kinda hammers the pins in our head again and again so that we don't forget.
Yeah that ol memento mori song & dance. If I could only ask Anna to wear a bikini while bouncing on a trampoline while wearing Mexican Day of the Dead sugar skull makeup - it would complete me. Yes, yes, tell me more about my soon to be rotting corpse, queen. 👑👸
ONCE AGAIN!
OUTSTANDING.
I oftenly talk about it with people who I care about.
I've done my research... Terminally ill people, cancer patients...
The things they miss the most are the simple ones.
Thanks Anna. A timely reminder, at a time when so many, myself included, are dealing with personal loss. I've always felt I had a pretty healthy perspective on death. 2020 has made me take a hard look at that, and I'm still processing.
Welcome to reality though, eh? A life of "no regrets" is nearly impossible. Best to hope for managing expectations, with time, and wisdom.
I swear these videos always appear when I need them most. Thank you!!
My regret is that I still can't believe that I ever have friends and they are supportive. They just aren't there when I need them... so I am just tryna be selfish like them and learn how to work on myself.
N•1 and N•2 are the one that resonate the most with me. If I died today, my first regret would be « I wish I hadn’t work so hard / had not been so anxious about work ».
I think we work too much, it’s horrible to spend your life thinking « I can’t wait for the week to end so that I can relax and enjoy things during the weekend ».
the unrevealed truth is that we are always waiting to see what next hat the cats will be wearing
I would say it's:
I wish I had the courage to live life for myself
I wish that I had let myself be happier
Although, the last one is a little weird because you can't really force yourself to feel happy at times... If that was the case then depression wouldn't exist.
sometimes when i question life i rewatch anna's videos and be okay with myself
I experienced death when I was 6 and since then, my non stop existential crisis made me start the journey of maintaining all five things that matters most until I get uploaded to the cloud eventually
'Age is a privilege' so damn true. Choosing happiness doesn't come naturally to me at all 🥺😔
I have tried in the last 5 years to express how I feel be more straight forward it's a better way to live
Definitely my Top 1 AAkana vid of all time! And I'm proud to say I'm more or less doing all five things! And if I die tomorrow, I'm good with it 😉 Did my best.
Where's the IG version, I wanna repost it over there 🥰 please and thank you!
The stuff you say regarding death is all so relatable after I experienced going through my dad k wording himself, it’s scary and funny (in a nervous way) at the same time
Maybe a bit out of topic (or not?..) but reading your book helped me a lot and made me feel less alone, thank you so much for what you’re doing
I love your house. Wish I could visit it atleast once. It looks so beautiful
I found this list about a year ago, and have been making it a priority to follow the top 5 and make sure that’s what I pursue in parallel with what I think is important now.
Live life everyday as if it is was your last. Most important thing you can give someone is your love. Be kind to all bring out peace and don't waste time on toxic people, environments or worry. God bless you all.
I really appreciate all these videos we’re getting ❤️ Are there plans for her to run a podcast again, I really enjoyed the podcasts she used to have.
1, 3 and 4 resonated with me so much!
I lost my brother last August 1st. He's only 27 years old and he died of a heart attack. Woke up to go to the bathroom and just had a heartattack outside the door. I have so many regrets. There was a joke that I was the one gonna go since I had the most sickness, and then it happened. He's the most healthiest of us. I don't know to to live, or how to deal with the pain.
May you all live the lives you always dreamed of, but even better! ❤
No regrets from watching this channel - thanks Anna
Regret #1 ; my family put a lot of pressure on me to get a STEM job, and quite frankly I had no idea what else I wanted to do with my life at the time, (who does at 17?) so I buckled down for 4 years and got the degree. Now I have a job that's pretty comfy and stable, everything my parents wanted for me.....and I hate it. It makes me so miserable. Im 25, wich I understand is still young, but I get so much anxiety when I think about switching careers, especially when I realize my heart was always in the arts. I'm so worried I'm not actually good enough/creative enough/talented enough, and I've wasted so much time already. Also, like many others in good old 'Murica, my college degree put me in so much debt that this job is barely keeping me above water as it is. I just wonder if I had gone to college for something I wanted instead, or even if I had taken a gap year to think about it, maybe I would have found something I actually enjoy? The anxiety of the maybes is suffocating.
Oh man, I'm absolutely killing it in life then. lol. All of those top 5 regrets are completely non-issues for me. I just wish I had spent more time in school (haven't done post secondary at 41)
Hahahaha, uploaded to the cloud.
Brilliant, thanks anna for the awesome info'tainment
The way you begin your videos with room decor and cats.... I'm loving it!!
It's probably because I don't really care for life but I pretty often ponder over whether "if I was about to die right now, would I have any regrets" and the answer is always "no".
Are there things that I would have done differently in life if I had known the outcome? Definitely. Or at least I tell myself that I would have had the motivation/courage/means to do them differently. But I think I don't have any regrets because I've accepted that my life is what it is and there's no telling what could or would have been if I had made different choices.
But I also see it as, having regrets means you still have hopes and dreams for your future... which I don't
Good talk.
I think people tend to not let themselves be happy because they think they don't deserve such thing as happiness. They tend to think if something really good happen, it's too good to be true or there's a catch to it. Sometime there isn't any catch to it and it purely just happens.
How you know what went in thousands of years is a change from millions of years
As a person in his 70s having watch a wife and several others dying I have found the most common regret a person has when dying is that they don't have one more month or at least one more week of life.
We all do what we feel like is best in the moment, so we shouldn't look at our regret of our past behavioras a something that's completely negative. If we failed, that just means that in that moment we hadn't become the kind of person who could or would choose differently. Having things we wish we had done differently means that we have grown since then and learned how to do better.
Everyone is going to fail in life. Repeatedly, so just continue to try to fail better as you go
Thank you, Anna
aging is a privilege. I agree. My mom passed away when she was only 32 and as I'm getting closer to that age I really do feel lucky that I get to live my life beyond what she experienced. I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but I'm just grateful to be alive.
You’ll never regret the things you do, only the things you don’t do.
I teared up as I heard each one just a little bit more. If I died today, I’d have every single one of these regrets.
ideal related regrets.... boom whoa my thoughts put to words
"Maybe you'll be uploaded into the cloud" Nah when I'm done I'm done, I want that bigass infinite void thank you.
I am that annoying person that always says that getting older is better than the alternative, when someone is complaining about their age. I had friends that died in their teens or their twenties and I myself was pretty sick and thought I was dying in my late teens. While it was a horrible experience it also changed my perspective. I often think of my life as bonus time as it could already be over and it makes growing old more something to strive for and less of a burden. I had a really great conversation about this with my grandmother and told me that it took her until she was 60 to reach the same mindset. Maybe you have to experience a certain amount of loss to appreciate the gift of living.
Just found out you voice Sasha, I love you even more!
What timing.
Found out yesterday that I have an unruptured aneurysm.
Really makes you think.
Though at this moment in time I regret never having had a chance with you and to perhaps ease some of your inner pain.
“Maybe Soon” at the end was the best 1 second moment on RUclips. Ever.
wait, clearing your browser history didn't make the list? I call shenanigans.
actually watch your videos when I get a notification , love love you Anna 💕
Happiness is the enemy of our ego.
Wishing I'd kept in touch and live for myself
Ur subject is fascinating, & helps people who dwell on ur 5 interesting regrets to have a deeper awareness of wot is going on on during their 100 yr. max average (at best) time on this planet…this topic helps to make wise decisions about the path of one’s life I believe…
Yeah I know that's why I'm injoying this moments but I can't be alone.
I sometimes forget when observing Anna’s insecurities what she went through.
Somehow I feel happy now. Thank you! Stay safe girl ♥️
thanks for such a great reminder anna !
The cloud Anna reminded me of that one episode of black mirror with the robot boyfriend 😂
Maybe mine will be "i wish i didnt care about what other people think about me so much". I'm trying to change that.
I don't let myself be "happy" because well... when things are going very well, I KNOW something horrible is coming. It always happens. Even a great author me and my mom talked to, a great psychologist and we discussed this. All was going great until the guy got this horrified expression on his face, realizing everything was nice and perfect in his life... A few weeks later he got the diagnosis and died within months...
I'd say I'm satisfied with my life... but I don't let myself be too happy. Jinxing things has been too real in my life. And on the other hand, extreme ups lead me to depression the next day so I try to keep my mood stable.
When I had extreme anxiety and paranoia... It just opened my eyes how important family is to me. And that was the only thing I thought about, I didn't want to lose them. It felt like if I die I lose them. Now that a few family members have died I can actually accept death easier... it feels like "Oh, it's not so bad. I'll be with them."
Which would I regret of these: Not staying in contact with my friends as much as I wished. But well, I need to finish my work before I die, so much research not properly written down and published ...
I think #1 rly hit hard. ,#3,#4. It’s kinda sad how I don’t talk to my past friends anymore. I think I would go check up on them:)
Thank you Anna 💚
Thank you so much this what i needed to hear today
"I've hidden the ten bars of gold in the ...." I'm saving til the last moment. BTW, the ancient words for screaming at a non-working printer are "PC LOADLETTER?!"
I don't know why
But thinking of myself on my death bed excites me.
I want to be alone and away from everyone when that epic moment happens.
Katie Morton just posted about cheriphobia. Highly suggest for that last one
Found you just 2 weeks ago and immediately subscribed. Not regretting at all
Thank you
I’ve always loved your videos 🤍 Deep thinker with humor.
No regrets. I’ve been fully prepared to die since the world went to hell in 2020.
You mean 2008, right?
if you knew all of history you wouldnt say its 2020's fault lol. its just another side effect of centuries of the worst possible people controlling everyone elses lives...
When I let myself be happy or feel 'to much' happiness I feel guilt because other people and beings aren't which then makes me stop instantly in case my happiness makes it worse in some way... life with OCD
Love the timing of your videos! I am a workaholic and grew more balanced after I regretted it earlier in my years (I'm only 27 lol). But am damn useless at staying in touch with my friends away from my city or 50mi radius. 😂 So my regrets are:
"Allowing self to be happier" and "staying in touch with my friends"
