- IG: / rowenatsai | What can we do when we’re feeling lost? We’ve all been literally & figuratively lost many, many times throughout our lives, and will probably be many more times in the many years to come 🥹 Here’s how I’m learning to embrace being lost, rather than shying away from it out of shame, guilt, and discomfort.

It’s actually refreshing to feel that we’re not alone in the “lostness”
That's the thing that keeps me afloat 😊
Oh yes. I‘m 31, all my friends are married and I‘m not even have a crush or anything. I want to move appartments but I don‘t have a clue where to live.
@@mikasa_alice Everyone’s times are different 💫 enjoy your pace, don’t rush anything. It will come to you if it’s for you!
@@gabsasusual thank you 😇 I will!
Rowena, 5 years ago I was going through the worst heartbreak and you wrote to me and helped me through it, now I am back here months after my dad’s death and also a friend of mine passed away, trying to figure out a way out of the darkness. Thank you!!!!
I’m not Rowena obviously, but I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your losses and I’m proud of you for seeking out positive influences! Keep up the good work. Saying a prayer for you to find joy. 🫶
Sending you so much love❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸🌸🌸
Will say a little prayer for you tonight x Sorry for your loss, and I wish you strength
@@catherinehiggins1968yeah I know!
“Continue to follow this path of discomfort and of pain because that will lead to me where I need to go”
Wow!! What a beautiful quote ❤️
Growth isn’t just in our momentum but also in our inertness. We don’t always want to see videos about people who have it all figured out and are constantly in their power at all times- we want to see videos from people like us- people who don’t have it all figured out- people who are finding their momentum. THOSE are the videos of value! We want to see people in process- not people who’ve already figured it all out. Those people and those videos make growth and success seem unattainable bc we don’t see them leading by example while they’re getting to the space they want to be. The real value for us is to see people where WE are also, getting to a space where we also want to be!
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your stillness with us. It’s so important.
This❤
Rowina, i am struggling with depression and I just wanted to thank you for opening up on media despite how exhausting it can be. Your voice is heartwarming. Your value is not measured in terms of productivity. Love this videos and the organization/planning as well. Sending much love, x
"I already have all the answers within". AHHHH. Exactly this. So incredibly happy to watch you grow through the seasons, Ro. Rooting for you, as always x - L
I was just crying this morning about feeling lost and this video popped up for me. Thank you so much for sharing these vulnerable parts of yourself. You are providing so much comfort to people you will most likely never meet.❤
I left my job/career path in May of this year and I have been feeling so lost. Thank you so much for sharing this, I am feeling a bit more hopeful and ready to start trying to zag!
rowina, such an inspiration, i was 7 months lost and i was feeling it was only me, thanks for sharing this
Thank you for sharing this Rowena. Feeling lost really is just part of the path. There are parts of us we would never be able to get to know without feeling lost. If we never got lost, we would never get anywhere. The more we get lost and wander around, the more we get to know the world within.💚
Would ever do a video on how relaxing and be calm in today's world. I love how you changed from living in NYC to CA. You seem so much calm and relaxed now. I learned from you it's ok to change and take out the bad things from your life that you don't need or using any more.
Embracing the feeling of being lost is such a powerful perspective shift. It's comforting to hear your insights on navigating those moments with acceptance and learning. Thanks for sharing your journey.💖
I feel like this is the video I needed for this moment! Feeling so wrecked and overwhelmed in the same time with myself and my thoughts. Gone through a very traumatic hospital experience and probably that is the first reason, but it feels like I can’t deal with much after that episode and your video helped me realize that everyone has days that are not particularly happy and it’s okey to let the feelings “be”. 💙
this video came in so timely! been feeling so lost the past few months, trying to explore a new chapter of my life and i feel so daunted. always love how rowena's videos capture such a distinct way of storytelling, partnered with structured and digestible approaches to life and all its ups and downs. 💖
You have noooo idea how much you impact us with your videos. Your my anchor whenever i feel lost
I know I'm well late to the party.. but.. It's so bloody refreshing to see you on the same fork-in-the-road as me. I've just moved back to the place I left 5 years ago. I'm totally different and yet, feel very much the same. It's so strange to feel lost in a place that is so familiar. I've grown in ways I never knew I could and yet, feel like I have so much growing to do. So yes, continue on the path of pain, for it will eventually lead to peace. I'm glad I saved this video, just to watch it at exactly the time it was needed. As always, thank you
can't believe i am here early for the first time! thank you for showcasing yourself always (:
I feel so seen.. thanks for giving hope, glad we are not alone!
You’re like the big sister I’ve always wanted! I love when you upload, it’s consistently quality content. Your mindset’s how I hope to be, really inspiring ❤ you’re doing great, keep going!
Thank you. Thank you for existing. Thank you for creating. Thank you for being so real ❤
Wow Row you couldn’t have come at a better time 🥺
Been definitely feeling lost during my externship at my local urgent care office so thank you for this ❤️❤️✨
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable about this. I've been feeling so similar lately and it's nice to know that there are others out there too ❤ the zig vs zag analogy really resonated with me as well!
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but when I feel lost, I double down on safe and comfortable things. Like my sense of loss is just another interpretation of anxiety or being overwhelmed. It's like I need to go back to what makes me safe before I can explore something new. Just my thoughts, good video. ❤
All of your videos are like a hug from a dear friend. Thank you for sharing your journey. It comfort and give me hope. Thank you!
This was well needed, thank you :,)
going through the same feeling, Thankyou and Love you RO!!!
i'm about to meditate and then go to sleep but i can't wait to watch this video tomorrow rowena!! i found your channel when i was 13-14 and now i'm 17💗💗you're like a big sister to me and have helped me through so much so thank you !!
You always post videos when I need them the most ❤❤
exactly what i need right now. opened youtube because i didnt know what else to do with such low energy. thank you ro!! we love you
loved the editing in this video!
Thank you for your recent update. Having a Dog helped me a lot with my lostness. I think you would be a good Dogmom and mom in general.
I really needed this video today, thanks Rowena 🙏🏻
I am totally vibing with your lost vibe :) You are so brave
thank you for sharing your thoughts with us rowena 💞
Love you Ro!
I’m 65 and still feel lost once in a while. I so enjoy your videos because you’re so authentic and not try to pretend to be OK when you’re not totally. I feel I have a friend that shares my feelings too. I think this lost feeling is our inner self telling us we may need some change in our lives. I see it as an opportunity to start exploring something different and new rather than revisiting the same old same old. Good luck to you and we shall find our ways again I’m sure.
hugssss rowena 🥺
I’m so so so happy yt brought your channel back to me ❤
I’m glad to know this season of “lostness” isn’t one I’m experiencing alone. Especially coming from a creator I truly respect and trust. I hope this is a time we can lean into those zigs and zags and soothe our hearts to know it’s okay ❤ easier said than done but I believe it can happen and that’s the first step.
Thank you for this Rowena, I've been watching your videos for a few years now & they've had the best impact on my life, you're really great! I appreciate you and your videos so much!🫶🏽
Glad to be here 🎉
I don't comment on CZcams videos much, but I can say I come to your channel for authenticity. I don't personally think that the content subject itself is much important, as long as you're delivering your message with vulnerability as your authentic self. Have that be your compass and you will do great. Thanks for what you do! ❤
fr shokz has been on top of their game !!!!
Always a breather to watch your videos ❤
Ro, thank you for sharing such a profound and vulnerable feeling/state of mind. You are so brave. It may sound a bit weird because we don't know each other but, I think I speak for everyone here when I say we are genuinely always rooting for you. I'm currently going through something very similar myself and just listening to you is a reminder that I'm not alone in this so thank you. I hope the second half of this year is gentler on your spirit, kinder to you, good for your growth, and even better than the first half 💌🌱💜
Thanks Rowena for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. I am going through a season of feeling overwhelmed and lost and unsure of what direction to take with so many things in my life. Grateful to draw some insight from this video that will keep me going forward and slowly find my rhythm. Lots of love ♥️😌.
This is exactly the energy I need now
I think you strong and you just got love that dream and it’s the process that challenges ❤
your videos always come at the right time, thank you. I'm currently in that gap-year post-college living-with-parents time in my life and i really do want to get into CZcams as it's been a long standing dream of mine but I am working on the courage. here's to zagging more!
So am I! Still figuring out what I want 🥹
I needed this video so so much right now ❤️🩹 sending you so much love
I just watched this, this morning as I am having my morning coffee, and it brought me so much peace from a tsunami of lostness that I was drowning in, Have been spending the last couple of weeks asking myself the big questions about moving out on my own and whether or not I will be able to be stable for this change. I have broken down twice due to the stress/anxiety about it all, but I know if I put one foot in front of the other, eventually, I will get there. Thanks Ro, for another great Video! :)
the timing of this video 😭😭🤍
I have been really thinking about you and when i searched on youtube and yeyeye and new video. I think we all experience these waves of feeling lost and losing touch with our own light within. I am sure that we all will ride the wave of having figured it out too, but I am so happy that you did post again and are doing well even while being lost, cheer up and it will be gone in next 2-3 years, I also remind myself the same things when I feel like crying big fat tears of fear of being lost. We love you~~~~
Just wanted to share that I am watching your vid with the shokz open air headphones. Seriously a game changer when it comes to ear buds! After blasting music in my teens, I’ve lost some hearing so these headphones are the best
This was truly serendipitous. I’ve been feeling lost and your video is everything I needed. Funny enough I’ve been zigging more than zagging and really trying to follow the linear progression of what society expected of me and now I’m lost and the magic within is just a flicker. I’m really hoping I can step confidently into the zagging and start again at 32. I’ve basically done the routine for a third of my life and clearly it doesn’t bring as much joy. So thank you for the reminder that being in uncharted waters is an opportunity to better myself. An adventure only I can say yes to. Love you Rowena and all the wisdom you’ve shared over the years. You’re truly a light and may you continue to flow in your alignment.
Appreciate you, sweetest potato! 🤗🤍
Now that I am approaching 50, some of the greatest growth periods in my life have followed periods of feeling lost and not really knowing who I was or who I wanted to be. There has also been great freedom for me in realizing I don’t need to be who I have always been and can still be genuinely true to myself. Wishing you fantastic breakthroughs!!!!
I myself also feeling lost these two days, especially when I thought I made some progress at work but recently feeling I didn't get away from the begining. It's really fraustrated. Thank you for sharing this video, helps a lot. And wish you get better after realizing the reason why feeling lost.
Im also in a "feeling lost" phase. This video made me remember that we are a work in progress from birth to death, but in a good way. We are always changing, as everything is. Some periods we have everything figure out and others we doubt everything. As soon as we accept it and work with it and not against it, it takes some much pressure from ourselves and let us honour more the process. Have a nice day u all !
Be who you truly feel you want to be right now- can obviously change your mind any time and, do what you feel is best for your life now. Love you Ro! 💖💗💙💜💞,
Zigging (following others) Zagging (following gut) … I love that. Zigging has included following my Inner Deceivers (who are not me, they’re just programming to “protect” me.) Zagging is writing my own story, which ultimately keeps me safe because in writing my own story (thru my creator) I could never go wrong. Timely info. I’ve been catching gems 💎 from you since 2018. Thanks, Rowena ❤
Tomorrow we’ll be going somewhere new!
This video means a lot to all of us here
Thank you for sharing your journey. I've just embraced the idea of being confidently lost. I have a plush turtle named Shelly 🤗Hugs to you & Kitty 😍
Hey RO… started watching ur videos since 2020… you have been my fav channel ever ….
U helped me through a lottt
Lots of loveee …. You go gurllll ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
waaah badly need this rn huhu
The dream house
Feeling really lost these days, feeling like "it's a good day to die" but i know i don't truly want death. Everything within is falling apart, i'm at ground zero, everything internally seems destroyed like a building got torn down, only for this new version and phase that i'm about to become and come into take form. It's this transition where i stand still, in fear, the most. But i know if and when i'm ready to take that one step forward and another and another, i'm going into this growth version that i will thrive in. Sometimes our own potential success scares us, because what if it doesn't work out or "that was my best??" But then what if it all aligns and you live your best version on yourself. So come forth, Me. And go forth. I'll be ready to catch me if i fall and i'll be ready to embrace this latest updated version of life.
I'm totally feeling her feelings in the beginning of the vid 🥺🥺
I am so glad I watched a video from you (after a really long time) and it was this video. I did spend the first half of this year feeling lost and it being of a whole new magnitude than previously experienced, and I was really getting down so so hard on myself for it.
Interestingly, I met someone a couple of weeks ago and I think that connection has led me to gain some perspective of how I might want to approach my life moving forward (including all the different things that I tried in the past few months) -- and it's come down to: to live is to experience is to learn :")
There's only so much learning that can be done in my mind, should I give too much heed to finding the 'perfect' way of moving forward that I don't move in any direction at all; I can only do, so I shall do.
Rooting for all of us
i can relate to this, it’s hard to go through it, especially if you’re in a foreign country. therapy has helped for me and just taking one day at a time.
I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but something that really helps me when i'm lost is going back to my values are and specially, what I consider my own version of success to be (and then seeing what aligns, what doesn't and how to be more aligned)
I’m really moved by this video, just a few minutes into the video, I am really sorry but all that I can piece together is Thankyou so much ❤
Thank you 🤍
I can relate so much. 3 or 4 months ago I was going through the exact same thing. I felt so lost and purposeless. Hopefully, prior I did a lot of work on myself with the help of a therapist. And I was able to figure that this uncertainty was part of the game. I was crying so much my boyfriend thought I was battling depression when I deeply knew all these tears, question and anxiety were there for a reason. Now I still don’t have the answers except now I am training myself to be okay with that path, with uncertainty and even embrace it! It will all make sense one day and I know every little step I take are bringing me to the right place wherever that is ❤
“When I deeply knew all these years, questions, and anxiety were all there for a reason.” Beautifully said ❤
@@CAI.DREAMS Thank you, I am so grateful because I think this the hardest part or healing: to welcome every emotions. But it's so worth it
I resonate with everything in Part 3
thank you for the intro, i know it’s bach but i started singing red velvet’s feel my rhythm lol
I lost my job back in November of 2023, lost a few friendships, got in trouble with the police during a protest, got placed into the mental health system, and here I am 8 months later, unemployed, sad, lost. I don’t know what else to do… it’s just me and my 3 cats. I’m trying to come to terms with my mental health diagnosis, but it’s feeling more and more like I’m just losing at life… everyone around me is getting married and living their lives to the fullest, but here I am drowning in loneliness and self doubt… 💔 thanks for this video, I hope I get unlost soon and I hope you do too ❤️
Thank you for this video. I just lost my job yesterday and ive been feeling a little hopeless. Luckily, I have another job lined up at the end of this month. At a point in my life where I dont even know what I am meant to do.
The feeling of lostness and how it’s a sign of growth has been recurring so frequently this past few months, it’s tough not to see the synchronicity of it coming up again and again and again, in so many formats.
Just remember that even plants have dormant periods where they aren’t flowering, they aren’t fruiting, they aren’t obviously growing. But that doesn’t mean they won’t; it’s just another season of life. ❤ always happy to see you, however things are going, whether obvious growth is or isn’t happening. (Besides, sometimes the season chances so gradually, you don’t even notice the new buds peeking out!) Sending you warmth!
Are you me 😮 I’m the same age as you and have been going through a lost phase too. Still in it. I’m not alone. You’re not alone. Huuuuugs
The not drinking, not smoking, not doing drugs and instead spending money is totally me 😭
Currently lost emotionally and in my life. I don’t know where I’m going…
It’s exhausting, I feel it. I just want to rest sometimes.
I love your channel but don't just focus on that it should be about growth there are times when we are fine in the moment and we don't always need to grow, I cried with you because I feel the same as you but this time is different I feel that especially because of the age I am now (26), I don't like my career, I have no job, I feel like a failure because at this age I thought it would be different, I would have a good job, I would travel, I would have my things but not always life happens as we plan or think, I feel that my mental health is deteriorated but it is still here and I know that someday it will get better for you, for me and for everyone, good luck.
Hugs ❤
We are your sweetest potatoes 🥔 ❤
Ro, i have been with you since the day that i found you in 2017, you been an inspirational and make me become who i am now, you literally raised me tbh haha, i have never skipped any video of you and i have been lost and found too but now back to uncertainty and anxiety but as you said if we keep looking for it facing the uncomfortable we will find the light and get through the tunnel, rooting for you as always xoxo
You and Linh today I’d say
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
I just found out I suffered with pmdd this causes me severe depression for 10 days every month its like a curse I feel like I need to grieve this.I cant do my hobbies....just feels like I want to quit Im so lost
🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i feel better when i saw this video, bless your beautiful heart and please never doubt yourself Row !! eventho u said u feel like u’ve lost ur magic, well.. this video just sparks A LOT of comfort and spirit for us and i’m thankful for it. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
🫂 hugs 🫂
❤❤
i really recommend the book "the artist's way" if ur curious check it out :)
❤
I want to express as gently as possible, that I am a bit worried for you dearest Row 🥺 I feel like since you left New York (but even before) your content is filled with very gracefully handled but very deep pain. From the outside it looks like a slow descent into depression and I would love you to not be swallowed by that… I have the impression that you force yourself to be someone that is not truly you. Sorry, probably this is not my place to hyperanalise you, I hope you take care of yourself 🌟🤍
For 26 years though?
Seems like there has not been much happiness ever since your engagement and the move.
If you feel ok about it could you share a video on your family relationships? Youve mentioned in previous videos you have gone through a lot with your family and now things are ok. Could you share that process? Ive always been close to my family they were my rock and my whole world recenlty I lost my dad who kept us all together he was the glue the force that grounded us and kept us close. With him gone things are just floating. I no longer feel close to my family my sibling hasnt handled my dads passing well, lashing out and being angry and saying hurtful things to us all, not suprising sadly since we are all used to this person being spoiled and self centered but i guess now its just unbarable. My mom just sides with my sibling to keep the peace and try to stay close to him and help him but I feel alone. Ive never really navigated this I have never felt alone and its horrible. I dont know what to do. Distencing my self from my family when were all going though such a hard time seems selfish and horrible yet its also feels like thats what they deserve. Anyway thanks for sharing this video and your sturggles with us all. Beautiful message 🙏🏼
Does anyone else want to hear Papa potato's playlist? 😂
