Congratulations 🎉🎉

I always find myself in situations where my skills/experience is not valued & I can't find jobs let alone a well paying job that will allow me to actually live my life, move out, etc. I'm the same age as you & it's getting depressing. Can you talk about the process you went thru to get your current job, how hard was it for you, etc.?

You were never in a relationship and you're 30+ years old. Not really childfree "by choice".

since i am seeing people being positive i will keep my experience about the years i lived in Glasgow to my self

Czy mozna jakis update na temat saxendy?

This is so random but has anyone ever told you you look like Alicia Silverstone? Because honest to god I can't stop seeing the resemblance!

Many among the younger generations never grew up. They were so sheltered, so taken care of that they never really learned how to do it on their own. Finding a spouse, having a family were both maturing things for me. They made the gravity of my life greater. I was no longer just living my life for myself but now for my wife and then for my children. Humans are anti-fragile. We only become as resilient as the hardship we face. Generations which went through extreme suffering, those from world wars or settlers of new nations, were much much much more capable than us who basically sit around all day. We must voluntarily seek out hardship in order to give us strength in life and ultimately to give our lives meaning. The hardship we seek out must be worthy of our sacrifice. Parenting is a worthy sacrifice of your time, energy, love. Its so beautiful to look into my 3 year old daughters eyes or to teach my 1 year old son how to speak or crawl. I am 30 YO so younger than this lady but can say from experience that many in my generation were failed by our parents and institutions designed to raise us. They infantilized us, protected us from conflict and suffering and as a result, we became soft, fragile, incapable of navigating the world confidently. Life is a process of overcoming. Of becoming.

I'm 40 never been in a relationship

We are from indonesian, me and my wife we were plan go to scotland, But i'm really scaring bcause i don't have any friend and family there

I relate to your readsons! Now im really curious what your awesome retirement plan is? 🤔 Thanks for the video 💗

a lot of us childfree women have sensory issues and wouldnt be able to mentally handle the physical process of pregnancy and childbirth. for those of us who already struggle with our mental health too, things like postpartum depression or even postpartum psychosis are terrifying

I find adulting and taking care of myself to be quite a challenge so the thought of being an innocent child into the mix is a no!!

Everything you describe sounds like Texas, from the crazy weather to fried & bland foods. Especially the melting summers. No one here seems to eat vegetables except myself

If someone says it's selfish not to have kids, I immediately think, is wanting to have kids less selfish? Why do people want kids? Because THEY want them, because THEY want to have a bigger family/small copies of themselves and THEY want to have some support when they are older. The kid brought to this world has nothing to say. How does it make it less selfish than not having kids? Just because they sacrifice more to have what THEY want? Not really. Just live and let others live.

I'm a mum of three...and I get jealous when I hear childfree people talk. Don't get me wrong, I adore my kids. But it's so hard, so all-encompassing. And the guilt when I do treat myself as a human being...wow.

I also dont have kids but imo I think having kids around the holidays make them better. Halloween and Christmas is better in the eyes of a child. Thankfully my family and friends have kids to scratch that itch for me.

I can 100% relate, i dont want kids either. Just not for me. Love the freedom

27F and same. Have a chronic illness, can barely take care of myself lol. I hope to get a cat though.... one day

Hi😊

You’re experimenting with different things and seeing what works and what doesn’t for you and I think it’s the best thing to do!! We can never truly know if something is for us until we try it. Onwards and upwards 👏

option 1

😊

I think u are very beautiful. Great video.

How are you gonna make it?😬🌸💗

This nudging buzz of creating videos has been calling to me yet again. This video and you have resonated with me to the core. Thank you for you words. This was exactly what i needed to hear today.

Powodzenia Dunia 🥰

I forgot my Mac laptop (in a laptop bag) in Scotland bus when going from Edinburgh to my hotel in 2012. I went to my bus stop in the morning thinking I will not find it. I found it there to my amazement. I didn't think it was real. I'm glad to say, the trip went very well after that

🌸🌸🌸You inspire me! 🌸🌸🌸 Congratulations on nailing a job!! ⭐

Congrats on your new job🎉

Daria, I’m a 30 year old dude, i almost started crying watching after discovering and watching your videos today. I moved to London 2 years ago for a dream job as a project manager, went through the whole honeymoon period of a new life, experienced loneliness, struggled to socialise in the city, developed anxiety as a social person and went through depression. I’m currently going through therapy and slowly getting things back up and I’m glad you’re figuring out stuff as well again from step one. I’m just glad to be able to not feel alone with my experiences. I thought I was alone.

People who become friends in adversity will be friends forever ❤

❤😊

So glad I came across your vlogs. Just subbed. I'm a lady of leisure after quitting a job a few months ago but ready to get back into the job market. Have you considered that you could be neuro divergent?

I find you so attractive and fun 😊

You are beautiful the way you are 😊

You look younger, like maybe 25😊

Thank you 🩷

You so beautiful

Oh really

I'm a new fan! I'm watching!

You need to eat actual Scottish food. Find friends who eat more than chippys! And aren’t chavs 🤣

Motivating video! I’m going to travel soon and will inevitably go through a similar process, so I’ll probably rewatch this after my trip 😅 I’ve always experienced jet lag. It even throws me off when the clocks change (go forward or back an hour). I try to forget what the old time zone was and just live my life in the new one. Sounds like you’re already doing that, though! Saw the ketchup chips and was like “HAH I recognize those!” (I’m from Canada)

I am also a fan of atomic habits that you mentioned… I’m trying to make some new habits at the minute 😂 enjoyed the vlog!

Yes! To all of it. I feel so heard!

You are so brave for sharing, thanks

Thanks for taking us along for your trip! You’re so fun! Love your spirit and resilience ❤

Your openness to life’s adventures is inspiring, and your rawness is so refreshing. Your videos feel like sitting talking to an old friend you can talk about anything with😊

You’re special and you have standards! You have values and morals girl! There’s nothing wrong with you !! I was in the same position into my early 30s too:) I thought the same exact same thing about me too, but it will come when when you least expect it , that’s what happened to me ! Don’t wry , it will happen for you too. :)

I can 1000% relate. So unbelievably discouraging.
