    This video comes exactly at the right time. I'm currently going through a difficult phase in my life where I'm not feeling well mentally. I'm 31 years old and have a large family and know a lot of people from before. I constantly notice that they get married, have children, build houses and are popular in their surroundings. I often compare myself with them and feel somehow sad about the fact, that I cannot achieve such good results. Most of my friends are in relationships and somehow successful in life. Recently I finally deleted my social media (Instagram, etc.) and that has brought some improvement. I have more peace of mind and don't think so much about other people anymore. I realize that everyone is different and we all have our own rhythm. Please don't be discouraged over such things. Don't think that a certain age decides everything... focus on yourself, take some time out and change your bad habits. Everything gets better with time...

    I am now 23 years old and I have been feeling this feeling for four years. The feeling that you are not good enough, that you are not important, and that no matter how hard you try, you will not reach their level. The feeling that you are behind, even though I try hard to improve myself and my skills, but sometimes this kind of feeling makes me feel weak and helpless, life is a hard battle، I hope we all win the battle❤

  • @bonnibeltheclockgoddess

    Just a short few words here, almost got teary eyed at how beautifully you presented some of these words. ❤ It’s very true and practically impossible to ever “compare” accurately. I especially liked your race track analogy and thought it was quite funny and surprisingly applicable to many things in life. 😂🤔 (jungle gyms and colorful paths all the way 🙌🏻 childlike wonder!). I enjoy doing the things that really speak to me and gives me passion in life, and on the days I feel slow or like I’m wasting my time, this whole thought process rings very true to me as something beautiful to have. I can’t accomplish any and all things nor should I try to. I am living a different life and that is OK. I should be proud to be me, and that I fill this particular place in the world. The joys and the discoveries and the all too easy sense of “not being enough/going too slow” can all exist in a very fulfilling emotional space all the while. We are simply scared that we’re not “making it” whatever that means. I for one, don’t think that concept exists, and I think we are “making” a lot of beautiful things just as we are. 🤭

  • @LurkingLinnet
    @LurkingLinnet Před 4 měsíci +9

    Hey people, wherever you are cherish it. Be proud of your body for being with you for so long, thaf mind of yours for still going on. The fact that you're here n alive. Yes you are resilient. Things happen. After years of struggling with a basket of mental illnesses and childhood trauma I've started believing in change and choices, i dont wait for good things anymore but believe in the strength that i have acquired through all these things that would surely make me last in the long run. Yuppp, im not the typically successfully person nor very skilled but I know that I no more self harm to feel things and can finally begin to see real joy in little things like fleetings of good times. ❤
    YOU GOT THIS
    Cheers to the fact that you're hereeee!!!
    I'm really glad.

    Wonderful content as always. I’ve been feeling intense waves of depression lately because a lot of my peers are about to graduate college and go on to their chosen career paths that they’re sure about, and I have felt so confused about my long term career desires over the past several years. My 20s have definitely not been the golden years so far, but I’m realizing that everyone’s path is different and it’s okay to not know exactly what I want to do. It’s just hard to accept right now though. Sending love and acceptance to each of you 🙏

I envy that their life is like have a good family, find their passion, have people who really cares, even find partner early. This video help me realize that people is most likely just share theirs happiest moment, that's i compare it to my lowest state rn. That's just sound unfair to me.

  • @Ahbhswrzq9221
    @Ahbhswrzq9221 Před 4 měsíci +4

    My life, my mission, my rules. That feels so nice to say. Very liberating. I think the main thing that gets us to believe that we are behind is all these systems that have been put in place in society. Go to school, then uni then, get a job, then get married, then have kids, then raise kids, then get your kids married, then be a grand parent. And it’s like if you don’t follow the system chronologically you’re a failure. And you know what I was thinking too. God really wants to tell us that their is no one way of living life. That’s why somethings might not go as we plan, and God directs us to something else. For example, you want to graduate but never end up passing you last year and had to get a job instead and start earning money for a living. This was probably the best thing for you. For someone else the best thing for them is probably to graduate then get job. That’s why God is the best of planners. He knows what is best for each one of us. Same thing with getting married. Some people think I’m going to get married early so I can have kids and they get married but can’t conceive! Maybe that is what is best for them. Not to have kids. Yet an other couple might marry old and have kids, because that is best for them.

    Thank you so much, your videos calm me down so much and are honestly a lifesaver. I recently turned 24 and am an immigrant in UK who's been denied/ 'waitlisted' of a lot of opportunities because of my status alongside dealing with an incident of assault/spike which caused me to leave behind a job that was my dream. It's been a year since I made loads of big changes to prioritise my mental wellbeing but am now feeling so behind in life because of the constant applying and interviewing but not getting anywhere. I know there is light in the end of this phase of life but it's hard waiting when you don't know its coming. Thank you so much for being a kind, non-judgemental voice that is reassuring and reminding me that compassion and kindness does exist.

    I'm literally having to decide between homelessness and becoming deceased since I can't afford medication or trying to get a job that will just destroy my health again.
    I don't any savings left after trying to recover, I've always struggled to find suitable jobs, I've restarted 4 times already. 4! With nothing working oniy to find in my early 30s that I am autistic and ADHD and there are no jobs and the reason EVERYTHING has veen so hard is because of having a different physicality that just gets discriminated against.
    I'm so tired of being alive.

    Already you just need to revisit them. Let it fall into place but take the leap. One day i decided id just leave my
    Moms and have nothing. I took a jump with nothing , nothing is scarier than that but having your shitty cavalier. Its like YESman lmao in this case. I want you to say yes and go find them again theres that one person you know you can meet in real life and do things. There has to be one.
