Time is a really interesting concept for me, although I am sure the majority of us take interest in it. The fact that all of my best moments in my life have already past and I can’t get them back, but that I can wait for the future to get some more. Or that I have spent approximately 192,000 hours on earth, but I widdle the jist of it down to a one-minute segment when asked who I am.
We all fear time and how short our life really is, yet we waste so much of it on the wrong things: accomplishments just for bragging rights, spending it with people we don’t love, stressing over the things we cannot change. A lot of us wish away our life saying “i’ll be happy when . . .” instead of looking at the things we can be happy about right now.

Realistically I’d love to say that I’m living the life I want to live but I’m not, and it’s mainly because of finances. Living with a single mom who isn’t earning that much in a country like Jamaica where the cost of living is so high and many people are so poor has caused me to put some dreams on a back burner. All I can do is hope that one day before my time to leave earth arrives I’ll be able to do all the things that make my heart scream. Until then, I’ll live vicariously through you and these videos 😊
Same Gul, i can really feel ya. Even I've the exact same situation going on. Hope we'll get through this.
This comment has so much perspective and brings up privilege to the conversation . Many times we blame ourselves for a slow progress not even recognizing how many difficulties we are facing in the way.
Be proud of every step you’ve taken to grow and keep looking forward with hope. Hope is what’s gonna keep you going.
I felt an immediate affinity upon reading your comment. I wish you well and I hope everything works out magically for you. All the best, stranger.
Love your commitment to self growth 💛
❤️❤️❤️
I constantly live my life asking myself, "could i be doing more" and my answer is always yes. I've had amazing experiences and i've done things ill never forget and im very proud of.
But this never ending quest for "doing the most" also brought to me the sensation that im not doing everything i possibly can and this often leads to frustration and sometimes to feel down on myself.
Its hard to live your life to the fullest and keep your feet on the ground.
I've been going through a rough patch these past few years. My mental health has deteriorated rapidly over the past few months, and it has really impacted my responsibilities and life overall. I've wasted so much time. I've watched a couple of your videos, and you've given me a sense of clarity. You've inspired me. Thank you for making these videos, sharing your experiences, perspective and thoughts. Truly thank you.
🥹! I hope it gets better for you
Love and nurture you're children, always answer their questions even when you are busy and if you are really lucky they will turn out like Lucy ❤️ love, you're dad. X

❤I am 77 years old. I taught for 36 years and I am retired now. ❤ this video is made by Lucy. She is brilliant. Share this video ❤
Love everything you said, especially the part where you want to look back at your hands and see the physical journey they have been on. I love it!
Freaks me out to think about it but it’s also intriguing 😬
@@LucyAlllan same!!
I loved that part too! How poetic
I loveeee the captions on these videos
I think captions are super important :)
Came across this video, when I searched for 'happiness'. Loved it ❤️ great content
Omg that’s really sweet, thank you algorithm for seeing the positivity ahaha
I'd like to have a video on how you manage to make money / budget to create all these amazing memories !! I would love to travel, but its expensive
I actually work all year 30 hours a week whilst being a student (on top of doing these videos) so that when summer/winter break comes I have the time to travel. I’ve also done jobs like Aupair and Summer Camps so I can work and travel at the same time😌 I really recommend Interrail though cause it’s a cheaper way to see more and you can really do it on a budget!
Lovely as this sentiment is, it makes me worry about an overly hedonistic attitude to life, where it’s just about doing the things that YOU want to do. I don’t think not wasting your life has to mean solely doing nice things and ticking off your bucket list. You mention ‘Worrying about things you can’t change’ - A lot of people don’t realise how much power they do have to contribute to bigger changes with right intention commitment. As hard as life can be at times I think it’s important that everyone does think carefully about the biggest problems that the world faces and the role you might play in that. For me, you need to balance life with what you can take from it and enjoy, but also what you can give back, and this means taking on a level of responsibility and making sacrifices.
I feel like people numb themselves and get busy doing meaningless things not to think about and get in touch with the I AM. It is a strong subconscious wiring as the ego is desperate to survive. As so, you can only get over it subconsciously. Way to go.
I am mesmerized by your videos
thank you so much for always inspiring me lucy, your videos are golden and so are you💛🌞🌻✨
This could only be said by another golden gal :)
Hello Lucy :) I just wanted to tell you, that I absolutely love your videos and that your perspective on life is very inspiring :) I hope you are having a nice day :) Greetings from Germany :)
Hey Anna!! thank you so much :( that's so sweet of you. have an amazing weekend
This helped me, you don't know how much. Thanks. Saludos desde Chile.
A beautiful video with such wisdom and truths. Thank you for sharing! I’ve just discovered your channel and look forward to watching more. Have a beautiful day. And continue to check things off your summer bucket list. 🌸
❤️
Marvellous video again ! We are all grateful :)
I am grateful !!
your content is so pure keep it up🥰🥰
Thank you so much🥺🥺
Just discovered your channel and I'm kinda in love w it.. Solo travelling to Europe this October finally, been dreaming of it for years. Your videos have good information and philosophies to get me in the right mindset. Thanks for this. Also, what camera do you have? The quality is amazing.
Omg I hope you have the best trip! Is it your first time in Europe?😌
My camera is a Fujifilm XT4 and I can’t remember the specific lens I have but it’s linked in my description I think :)
@@LucyAlllan yess this will be my first time. My whole life I've wanted to go to Italy, so that's going to be the bulk of the trip, but depending on how much I can save over the next few months I'm hoping to start in Barcelona, then Italy, then Germany, explore nearby countries, then UK, then France, then Portugal and fly back home to Canada.
Also ty for the info, it's just the quality is very dreamlike, that lense is wild. Thanks for the response :)
Realmente te admiro mucho, gracias a ti he logrado ser feliz en el presente, sin estar constantemente pensando en el futuro. Gracias por tu contenido y tus bellas palabras, saludos desde Chile.
Ahhh muchas gracias, siempre aprecio mucho cuando la gente toma el tiempo de comentar y chatear conmigo❤️
You're videos are so comforting, I'm looking to make short films/video poems, and I'm wandering where do you find your background music ? I'm struggling with that please ?
Hey! I have a link in my description to the music listening I use😌 it’s Epidemic sound
@@LucyAlllan thanks, I'll check it out 🥰
June. 17th on my Birthday, nicee :))
Happy birthday from then haha!!
Do you script your videos? Your story telling ability is above the sky ❤️🙏🙏
Your channel is amazing
Love love love whenever you upload 🥰
Ahhhh you’re too kind🥺😌
Walk the Camino to Santiago, in Spain!!
Omg you have no idea how much I wanna do that walk!!!
Great images. Thank you.
I enjoyed this video ❤
Such an inspirational video 💛💛
Thankyou i needed this video!!!!
Everyone reading this, plz remember that your life isn't unlimited, if you wasted most of your time and life on social media then you couldn't get it back and you wouldn't enjoy your remaining years of life
The scenery makes me happy and thinking to go back to Europe
Wow super awesome and I love this one 😍💖
My favourite place in the world!!
Thank you
Under rated video.
I sometimes forget what I post and I come back to vídeos again to rewatch, this is one of them :)
@@LucyAlllan respect from Australia my friend!
Hey! Do you have any inspiring books? Or just nice books that inspire you or stayed with you in your daily life ? ☺️📚
Omg I have one book in particular! It’s from the video I made a month ago « the book that changed my life » if you want some context on it but it’s called: A million miles in a thousand years- Donald Miller.
I cannot recommend enough❤️
Beautiful video! Sometimes I feel like I’m doing too good a job of living in the present and end up feeling left behind…
that was lovely.
do you have pinterest? 🙈
I just finished watching your video on deleting social media and I'm truly thinking about doing the same, but I think change also has to come within, I'm struggling to see myself spending the 2 hours it takes to get to my university with nothing to do, I feel like my mindset isn't ready for such a change in a sense that I would probably fall back into old habits, do you have any advice?
It’s a great time to read :)
Hola !!
Holaaaa
Ta vidéo m'a fait passé un heureux moment, très paisible ;) Conseil : drink the wine here.
Lucy, I think you could like walking on the Camino de Santiago :)
oh if it were this easy.
❤️
I will find some tasty French Cheese 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵 also Viva La France
Many tasty french cheeses here haha
I change my Life for your Life you really like It nobody know you here which Its gonna be awesome but would rather not live in france
What is Lucy saying at 0:20? I’m hearing: “I recently had a conversation with my boyfriend and son” but surely that can’t be right
Hey! I actually have subtitles in 5 languages if you ever struggle to understand me as I know my accent is a bit difficult. I think I said "a conversation with my boyfriend and his mum". I can confirm I do not have children haha :)
"and his family"
@@LucyAlllan oh wow what a service. That must be so much extra work. But yeah that makes more sense haha. Thanks! I do like you accent though. Scotland has always had a special place in my heart. Such a beautiful country.
