“You can be humble while also feeling qualified and deserving.” 🙌 “Money is nice, but integrity is better.” ✨
SO GOOD.
*i make funny videos like ingrid i genuinely hope they make you laugh and put a smile on your face ! :)*
Caylie and Tim Most important *Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior sincerely*
"keep going no feeling is final" wow i love that 😌
saying “no” is ok
there’s nothing wrong with saying no and don’t feel guilty about it 💕
Serendipity + hard work. Just in case serendipity alone isn't enough 😊
Justine! Would you please do this video, too? Much love from the US.
love it!
This sums up life perfectly!
I second that! :)
1. Go out more and meet new people.
2. Don’t focus on negative things.
3. Use every opportunity to learn something new
“It’s okay to be angry, that means something needs to change. Communicate your needs.” Wow I needed this! Thank you Ingrid!!!
I think I’d have 1,128 things to tell my younger self 😂 thanks for your wisdom and being such a big inspiration to many including myself. Wish I would have started doing what I love a long time ago, but you can’t go backward only forward! So here we are 😊
haha same
I just found your channel through Shaaanxo's page! love it!
Rozy Aamski aw that is so nice!
*i make funny videos like ingrid i genuinely hope they put some positivity into your day ! :)*
I would tell my younger self, 1. STOP doubting yourself. It’s a waste of time, and you’re so capable.
2. It’s okay to take the time you need to heal; don’t worry about the peer pressure to follow a certain timeline in life. Everything will work out.
3. Nobody cares about those zits on your chin, that your socks don’t match, that your hair is a bit greasy. People are all worrying about themselves, and the way they look, just like you are.
1. Stop worrying about being perfect - live your life for you, not everyone around you.
2. Stand up for yourself - your voice matters, too.
3. Hiding who you are is not the best way to live your life. Liking both guys and girls will never make you any less of a person.
I could go on with things I'd tell my younger self, but I'll stick to those 3.
1: Talk to your peers more, instead of being painfully shy and feeling left out.
2: Just go to Prom, if not you'll always regret it.
3: Write down what's going on more, you'll regret it in a few years, when you can't remember what went on.
4: Just live in the moment, especially the happy ones.
GilmorePotterGleek .... your username is amazing
Sophie Beaven Aw thank you, I made it when I was 12 (I'm 19 now) and it's still pretty relevant, especially the Gilmore and Potter parts.
Things I would tell my younger self:
1. Nobody cares if you shave your legs or not. Or rather, they do care, but you shouldn't you you'll learn to not mind it.
2. Good and close friends will come, once you allow yourself to open up and be open about who you are.
3. You are so, so capable of love and closeness. I know it feels like no one ever sticks around and you're always the odd one out, but you won't always be. You will find a best friend who calls you at 1am for a chat, and groups of friends who will laugh at your jokes and enjoy having you around.
4. You are capable of so much happiness, and it will come in the least likely times, but it will fill you like a balloon and last for months at a time, and it is all worth the wait.
Thank you for this, Ingrid!
wow. thats amazing. thank you xx
love this.
the 100th like is from me, thank u for this!! ✨
@@sux5776 aww! I wrote this three years ago and had completely forgotten until you replied to my comment! thank you✨
Can u film more life lesson vids. Ex. Financially, Goals, Dreams when to let it go or hold on to them....something along those lines
MissScribbleHeart Her podcast, Ladies Who Lunch, is really great and has episodes along these lines! I listen to it on sound cloud.
I am 21 and going through such a hard time right now, where everything feels messy, and I'm trying my best to go with the flow and follow my feelings and my instincts, but depressed moments get the best of me. I am so grateful for this video and I'm rewatching it, to let it sink in! Thank you once again, for such an amazing video!
More of Erika 💗
I'm also 21 and feel the same. I could watch this video over and over again.
@more of erica, you hang in there friend... It gets better, i promise!!
Women's brain is not fully developed until the age of 25 (plus minus, that's what latest research shows). I personally believe this because till the age of around 25 I struggled with so much regarding myself, that I am now (29 years old) so over it and wouldn't let them bother me for even a second. Although life doesn't get any easier as you get older, a more defined personality that develops (is developing all the time actually, but especially in that age) in that time definitely helps with how we view things. We all know that teenage years are tough...but so is early adolescence and nobody really talks about it cause you're already supposed to be adult once you can start drinking alcohol legally. What I'm trying to say is that these early 20s are tough... but it will also pass so keep that in mind. Hope this helped a little bit. :) disclaimer: obviously if you're talking about 'true' psychiatric definition of depression, it's not as easy as I described and should be dealt with professionally.
Same
1"Being desired wont make you feal better in your body, so change the way you see yourself instead of trying to change the way others see you."
2"Living like there is no tomorow is not cool its destrutive and you will suffer from it, stop runing away"
I feel #22 so much! And here are my three things I would tell my younger self: 1. Don't be afraid of interacting with people and try to think less about what they think about you. If you are curious about someone as a friend or even more, just go and do small talk! 2. Do not think that trying out a study and quit it halfway through is a waste of time. It is rather a time full of new life experiences! 3. Do not cut your hair while being a toddler. Well, just never cut your own hair unless you are qualified to do so.
I liked it when you said don't let someone else drive the car down the path of your life take the keys and drive it your self love you Ingrid bye.
*I had such a horrible day at school, thank you so much for always making me smile, Ingrid! Please upload as many videos as you can, you're amazing and make me very happy ! i hope i can work hard through my videos and meet you one day ! Who else loves her? :)*
This is so lovely! I like to do "Me at age ..." videos to kind of incapsulate how I am at said age. Maybe you could also do a me at 28 video? xx
About a movie I love your videos and the 'me at ...' is such a beautiful idea!
so true
so smart
💛💛💛
1. Stand up for yourself
2. Talk about your feelings
3. Believe in yourself
never take things for granted and be true to yourself
loved this video xoxoxoxo What I would tell my younger self: (1) yes it is anxiety and yes you will be able to live through it and still be able to succeed; (2) stop wasting your time over people that are just using you- focus on what you want instead of what you think you want or what you think you should have in your life; (3) realize that at the end of the day, all you need is yourself, so please start building a relationship within yourself instead of finding it outside of you; (4) there's more than one way to live life- open up and educate yourself on things that might be different than you; you'll come to learn about it eventually, but start now, it will be easier on you in the future
This is perfect! Have so much respect for all the effort you still put in your videos, especially after all these years ♥️🙏🏼♥️
1. Don't give up
2. Friends are everything
3. Live YOUR life
My favourite quotes:
1. Every problem is just an opportunity in disguise
2. There's always another way, you just haven't thought of it yet
They are both so true and I really live by them. xx
This video reminds me of the quote I have in my room:
"Be the person you needed when you were younger."
I wish I could go back to my younger self and give advise but it's impossible. So I try at least to use my "wisdom" for giving advise to people who are younger.
I agree so true
ahh please make these videos every year, I'm in love
A few things I've definitely learned is live in the now, don't beat yourself up over your mistakes, and your flaws make you unique 😊
I bursted out in tears when you said give your dad a few more hugs. My heart!!!
"Being present and willing to learn is better than being perfect"
WOW! That one hit home so hard for me today! THANK YOU Ingrid, you always know what to say to make me feel better
I loved this. I am going to jot down a list for myself. One thing I would tell my younger self is that empathy is the only way to eliminate shame. So be vulnerable with people because so many wonderful relationships will come from it.
Haven't watched your videos in ages and this is what I came back to. What a great reintroduction to the beautiful Ingrid. You're a genuine gem. You'd be a great mother someday.
Really needed this Ingrid, thank you so much!
That Rilke quote was the cherry on top. Such a beautiful and inspiring video Ingrid.
I'd tell my younger self: not to settle, falling in love with the confort zone kills the spirit and makes you bitter. dont do it.
Is it ok for me to cry while watching this? I believe that's what I've been needing to hear...thank you! You're so inspiring xx
I can totally feel this. I'm in my mid 20's, I'm 25 now, and so many things you said in this video actually make me cry. They are so true. :'( thanks for this video Ingrid. I've been your follower since always!
Accept that not everyone is going to like you, if you are true to yourself you will attract the best kind of people.
Speak up and share your opinions!
Go after what you love, even if it scares you.
"Keep Going, No Feeling is Final” - Love this
Just watched this and it was so incredible. To my younger self I would say: You are so awesome and you are on the right path -so quit worrying what other other people think of you!
Sometimes it’s so helpful to hear the things you you already know deep down from someone else. Keep going, no feeling is final. That’s a major inspiration for me at the moment ❤️ Thank you Ingrid, you are wise beyond your years
Ingrid you're so wise! I've been watching your videos since I was 16 in 2011. You always put a smile on my face :D
I'd tell my younger self: don't stress too much, everything will fall into place. Just the way it's suppose to be.
This video is so nice! I’m 22 and i feel lost. I have so many goals, and many others have achieved what I want, yet to me these goals seem unattainable. I’m still struggling to find my true career path and it seems the rest of my goals are following.. this video was a breath of fresh air! Thank youuu
I love your thought on confidence and arrogance being separated by gratitude!! I’m in a really bad rut the past couple of days, and even your 5 minutes of positivity and realism helps me a lot. Thank you Ingrid ❤️❤️🌈🌈
Such a nice video idea! It's so cool to see how much you've grown as a person and I always appreciate and value what you have to say on life :) You're such a smart and kind person!
Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours!
"don't let someone else drive the car down the path of your life. Take the keys and drive it yourself." and "Liking girls is totally normal and okay. So let yourself enjoy the butterflies." were my favorites from this. Love you Ingrid!
I've learned that it is so important to love yourself for who you are and not compare yourself or your path to others.
Nice to see that sparkle in your eyes Ingrid! Thanks for sharing this video - I got a little tiny teary in a joyful and relatable way - beautiful advice -💕🙏🏽✨
Ur one of my favorite CZcamsrs thank you for sharing this❤️
someone will always be there for you
don't ever give up
I just learned to let go of 'friends' who didn't want or deserve my time and effort. That can be a really hard step, but you feels so much better
Liked before watching, love the positive energy you always bring in your videos xx
let yourself feel what u need to feel in the moment...it's my favourite one. so thank you Ingrid
Your voice is so calming it makes me feel relaxed
Honestly loved this video! Really made me think about a few things before I turned 20 next month!!
I would tell my younger self to not compare yourself to others, everyone is different and unique! Hard work will pay off in the end and not everyone will love you but those who do will be there for the ride!❤️❤️❤️
I loved this. I found my way back to my sister by forgiving my mother.
WOW! Ingrid, thank you for sharing these - each of these 28 things are beautiful and each of them are universal.
Be grateful for the family in your life and don't take them for granted and appreciate what they do for you.
you're amazing and my absolute favorite! feel like i've grown up with you in the past 6 years!
Wow Ingrid! I nearly cried because all of this is so true! I would also tell my younger self: you will be okay!
This is wonderful. I think I needed to hear some of these things today. I loved the last quote. Will definitely keep that in my mind
Thank you sooo much. Love you Ingrid!!!
✨A smile can change the world.✨
#10 is strategically the appropriate number for that v meaningful and exact piece of advice. I love you, Ingrid!
Well, I'll keep this on repeat for the rest of my life! You have the best advices!
That last quote hit me right in the feels. So good
I'm gonna need to rewatch this over and over
i absolutely loved this video. 3 Things id tell myself: (1) having lunch alone, not going out to every party and just doing things alone is not sad it makes you a strong person. (2) even friends can be toxic, put yourself first. please eat and take care of yourself. (3) I know youre scared but just do it cause it will bring you so many wonderful things. LOTS OF LOVE INGRID! xxxx
One of the most felt "likes" I have ever given. You are a sensitive and sweet person!
I love that you created this video!
1. Travel more! Don't be afraid to travel alone - just go! 2. Do more fun things for yourself - go out more. 3. Start running! At 30 you will learn that you really love it but wish you had more time to train
people change, situations change, perspectives change, so things really do get better. that s something I would surely say.
1. Make small goals every day to help you reach your main goal.
2. Stop procrastinating and get it done. Give yourself a reward later.
3. Taking a moment to step back is important and good for you mentally and physically.
Thank you for sharing this!❤️
This was so cute! Such a good mix of funny/serious ones
Live each moment to its fullest, tomorrow is never promised.
This was so lovely and I will definitely take some things you said with myself through the years.💛
Even though I am still quite young there are few things I would say to slightly younger self.
1. Listen to your body, something is going on and I know the doctors won’t listen but don’t give up the hope. The help will come but it will be a hard journey to recovery.
2. Don’t ever let anyone else define how you feel or how you should look like. You are beautiful and strong. And it’s totally okay to have mixed emotions.
3. People will come and go but that shouldn’t break you down. You will find amazing friends who support you and push you to take chances you are too scared to take.💛
I shed a lil tear. 😢 I needed to hear these things. Thanks. 😘
Tell people they are important to you and you love them. Often
Thank you for these lessons!!!
Everything will be okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end 💜
This was totally heartwarming and lovely, Ingrid. I think my main thing I'd tell myself is: it is OK to let toxic relationships go and to allow yourself to move on without regret
I love watching videos like this! 2 things I'd tell my younger self are
1) you can be more than what they expected of you.
2)you are enough and you are important
This video made me feel better on a really crappy day.. Thank you!
Love this Ingrid!
A few things I’d tell my younger self:
1) You’re not a failure. Another door is opening with far greater opportunities than any you leave behind.
2) Pay attention to what your mind & body is telling you.
3) Love harder. Be more kind!
I love this! Here are a couple things I’d tell my younger self.
1) It’s ok to feel like you don’t know what your doing with your life. Despite what you think you do actually have your shit together and in reality no path is final. Enjoy the adventure and learning that comes with each day.
2) There is nothing wrong with having anxiety. It’s just a part of who you are and learning to recognize it is the biggest step you’ll take to being able to manage it. When in doubt just breathe.
I love that my day started with this amazing video ❤️❤️❤️
I’m 11 I’m still enjoying the journey and being myself because idc about others and what they think
Favorite quotes in this video:
The real magic is saying no.
Mean what you say and say what you mean.
My favorite quotes:
1. Breathe, simple as inhale and exhale. Everything will be okay.
2. Stop caring what other people think of you, don't be so hard on yourself.
3. When there's a storm; learn to dance in the rain
4. Trust in God and stop dwelling on the past.
Thank you SO much for making this video; this inspired me to be a better person. I love you so much Ingrid, you are a shinning light.
For me: Friendship takes effort, but the effort is always so worth it
I love this video and really needed to hear half of these. Thanks Ingrid, this was lovely ♥️
I added this to my favorites and I'll try very hard to keep it in mind because what you said is really so important ! also I feel like being 23 I am at a turning point where living by those advices can help me SO MUCH ...anyway THANK YOU
The struggle will make you stronger.
You're a positive influence in my life thanks for this❤️
wow i needed this so much thank you ingrid!!
Do what you love without fearing judgment from those you know 💓
Ingrid! I feel like you have so much wisdom to share that you could compile it all into a book!! I always feel like you have a really refreshing and candid take on life. I have a saying called WWID (What would Ingrid do). Keep up the great content!! x
Thanks for this, Ingrid! Didn't know how much I needed these pieces of advise until I heard it 💕 One of the quotes that keep me going on most days is something from a Filipino philosopher in my uni, it translates "Don't ask if it is difficult, ask if it is worthwhile" 😊
Dang! So many amazing quotes! That was great Ingrid! Thanks! 😊👌
I love this and i love reading what others would tell themselves. Lessons i will also keep in mind
Great tips Ingrid, thank you for putting this video together!
Enjoy the little things that make you happy ✨
Hi Ingrid your videos are literally the bomb they make my day when they are a little ruff and I want to thank you for that you don’t know but my parents are no longer married anymore when I was 4 and I don’t have the same last name as my mom and that can be really hard and difficult and you help so so much don’t let anyone get to you Words can’t bring you down unless you make it I know you might ever see this but if you do make sure to keep up with the good work
