[@logangarcia]

1. All humans live in an interconnected ecosystem 2. Don't share advise unless asked 3. You're not endlessly available to everyone so set boundaries 4. How good you are at your job and how good you are are not the same 5. Be empathetic, don't say you relate completely 6. Do things alone for yourself without showing the world 7. Wear sunscreen 8. Don't tell people to just be happier 9. Invest in your health over all else 10. When you think of someone, talk to them 11. Try to make a friend group 12. Try weed, boba, and sushi younger 13. Have critical thinking skills 14. Continue having a student identity (intellectual curiosity) outside of school 15. Don't have a "front-of-the-class mentality" 16. Invest in nice bedding 17. Relationships can grow or shrink virtually 18. Your identity is not what you think 19. Rest is a requirement; not a reward 20. People project a lot so be considerate of that 21. Being emotionally available is a huge strength 22. Focus on what you could give instead of what you want 23. Like what you like because you like it 24. Form a political identity 25. Be radically transparent Stating the facts of what they said :) Not my opinion

i turned 25 i few month ago but my list is somewhat different: 1. Always do a proper paperwork when dealing with people if money is involved 2. Death comes even for the young, it's better to cherish the moment with the people you care for 3. Minimizing troubles is a key to happiness which comes from composure 4. Hedonic Treadmill is real, it's better to take pleasure in simple things but not overdo it 5. Investing even a minuscule part of your income is very important

I'm an adult who has zero passion and motivation for any job, despite I was told it's what you need if you want to have a successful life since I was a kid...growing up I didn't know what I wanted, then I realized I just want to have a normal happy family and be a mom, I wonder if that's weird

[@TheDragonshunter]

On my 20s I realized that adults are a joke...

[@babybubblegum4240]

Yup

[@rdsa1]

on top of that the process of realization comes is from when you start reflecting on the circumstances of the events and actions that happened in your life then you see what's wrong and right of it , so age is not necessarily primarily a condition. hopefully you got my point cus i'm non-native English speaker

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

@@rdsa1 You mean something like: That realization comes when you reflect on the circumstances and events of your life and see the wrong and right of it, regardless of age. A fairly good message and you got most of the vocabulary right, even if the structure wasn't the greatest. Adults aren't a joke. The popular concept of adulthood and childhood being completely separate and so terribly different is a joke. People who rely on their seniority as a claim of greater wisdom and intelligence are jokes. You eventually realize that people are both better and worse than you give them credit for, young people can be both tremendously smart and clever and immature and naive and ancient people incredibly narrowminded while also having unique perspective you could never consider. Just be open to it all, don't concern yourself too much with age differences for friends and... i dunno.

I just celebrated my 23rd birthday, just graduated college, and I've never felt more afraid of my future and the uncertainty of it all. Videos like these are bringing me some comfort that I'm not alone.

[@siegpasta]

I'm gonna pretend to be wise for a momment. This is one aspect of life that everyone feels, me and you, he and she. You can ask your parents and they would relate. You could ask your grandparents and they would relate. You could ask the 90 year old grandfather who's out walking in the park and he would relate. Just pretend like it doesn't matter what your future will bring you and that will make you feel alot more at ease. Imagine instead feeling "wow, the whole world is infront of me and I don't know where I'll end up in this grand adventure! >:D" Because really, what are you really afraid of ? Not being wealthy? not being famous? These things won't make life more fun for you in the slightest ;). I've been to countries, poor countries, where the 40 year old guy standing at the side of the desolate country road selling exotic fruits for a living, was more happy than I've ever seen anyone else being happy in my entire life before. As a matter of fact when you talk to these people you get an understanding of their lives and how different everything can be for yourself aswell. In my experience, it's impossible to really know what your purpouse in life is unless you havent tried different things before. That means, tried jobs that you otherwise would think "eh, boring" or "ew too low salary". Just ignore the ammount of money you will get, you can always quit. You can always get another one. But experiencing how it is, is so much more valuable than imagining how it would be. Because if you have never been a fire fighter before, you can't know how it is to be one if you've never been one. Once you have tried different things, your understanding of what you like and don't will grow until you have narrowed it down to your purpouse in life. But if you never blindly try, you are never going to find your purpouse.

25 was absolutely a turning point. It was significant and profound. When I turned 25 my whole world practically shifted. It was a transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. My health took a decline, I was diagnosed with a chronic auto-immune disease with uncontrollable flare ups. I began to cut out unhealthy behaviors and tendencies and replace them with self-love and positivity I never had before. I healed my mental health by working on me. Focusing on me. Prioritizing me. I eliminated the people in my life who would forever try to manipulate and emotionally abuse me; friends AND family. I concreted the things I would not do, and found things I love that I never expected. 25 was terrible but also beautiful. I've never felt more...me.

[@Shirumoon]

That sounds beautiful! I am turning 25 next month and I feel so empty. I have almost no friends left, no supportive family und the man I love does not want to be with me anymore. I have yet to start university so no career going on for me either. I am hoping so bad to finally get to my break through and get happy for the first time in forever.

@@Shirumoon It takes a lot of patience with yourself and love too. Just vibe with the things that you enjoy and that bring you genuine happiness and dont be afraid to try new things! If people arent in your life that it means they arent meant to be there and better people will come along. It's okay to be lost, it's okay to be unsure, that's just part of the experience.

[@FigaroHey]

As a former college teacher, I wish I could have passed a law that strongly encouraged university students to take one semester off at some point if it was all getting to be too much pressure. Saw too many young people under too much pressure, not letting themselves take a break when mentally and emotionally and even physically they really needed it. If I were a parent, I'd be watching my adult student 'child' and letting him or her know that if things get overwhelming, there are much worse things than not graduating 'on time.'

Idk I think you approach it badly. "make up"? Was your whole life not worth it? A piss in the wind? Eqivilent to spitting down a bottomeless pit of nothingness?

Don't overcomplicate things just say "I do what I like" and that is it.

Make space for others. 16. Invest in nice bedding. 17. Relationships can grow and shrink unexpectedly in the virtual environment. 18. Your identity does not equal your thoughts. 19. Rest is a requirement and not a reward. 20. People project a lot. 21. Being able to emote is a gift. 22.

[@therobotdevil2284]

The thing I wish I had learned before turning 25 most is to divest from hyper consumerism. I've since learned this lesson, and have dramatically downsized my life and completely changed the way I shop, and as a result, I've had more time and money to devote to the things that matter most to me in life, I feel so much lighter owning much less, and I feel more satisfied with what I do have. But for real, I wasted an astronomical amount of money in my early twenties on material goods that I didn't need or even like that much, impulse buys are so addictive. Not everything we think we need to be happy will actually make us happy, and it's really does take questioning each purchase we make with a healthy dose of cynicism to truly find balance as a person living in this profit-hungry, cruel, materialistic world.

[@Javea97]

This is so true. Crazy, how you have to learn things that sound so obvious when you say them out loud. It took me so long to learn that it's ok not to be ok and that failing at something isn't equal to weakness.

[@NothingJustHappens]

What you said on independence really really REALLY spoke to me. The last year I’ve been reflecting on how my independent identity has really helped me through life but has also made me very sheltered with my feelings and emotions because I always relied on myself to help myself through hard times. It’s almost an excuse for me to not open up or share with others. Now in a relationship for the first time (at 25), I see how harmful my independent ideologies have been because I was ONLY thinking of myself, no one else. I really struggle to relay my ideas and thoughts and emotions to my partner because I’ve never had to do that before. I’m getting better but there’s still a huge baggage there for me to ASK for help and not expect myself to do everything, especially in a partnership. Just a random thought! It was comforting to hear someone else my age reflect on their independence as I’ve been :)

I had to pause this video because everything you’ve gone over so far is so important but your number five is my favorite at the moment. I constantly try to understand what others are going through but there’s a point where you can’t understand and need to switch over to empathy.

friend groups are not a 'myth'. yea people come and go or sometimes you wanna hang out with just one friend at a time but they could still be a part of a friend group. what I think is important is that you appreciate your current friends instead of wishing that you could have something that you see somewhere bc things arent always how they seem. tho great vid

when she talked about the "being emotional at tv shows and things is a gift" i cried. the irony lolll

[@tanieshapostsaboutthings]

I'm late to this video, but I'm so happy I found it. As someone who is turning 26 in....oh goodness only four months....wow.....I totally relate when I say that 25 is the time where I've finally felt like I'm coming into who I am truly meant to be - even if who that is is completely different than what I'd expected for myself growing up/until now. Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your journey with the public, with us. Its refreshing

13:06 Sometimes I thought that when I attached to someone story, attached to movies, art, music, being able to feel and understand it deeply is my weakness, I always thought that maybe is just myself overreacting, being a cry baby, being too sensitive, being too emotional over things like that. I thought that strong people are the one that not easily cried. But.. maybe I was wrong.

[@starfire246810]

I wouldn't say that you're a crybaby cuz I cry a lot too over things like that and I thinking it's cuz you could be an empath/empathetic person or have some sort or mindfulness

[@dindadewi6679]

@@starfire246810 maybe.. But I can't deny that sometimes being an empath is tiring. You can't hide your emotion. I try hard to be an ignorant person and don't care about those emotion but I just can't lie to myself. It's struggling sometimes..

Hi Katherine! 24yo here, really appreciated your ideas as much as those chill barcelona videos. Lots to unpack and to think over about in our lives. Here in Europe some things are different but we do really have some other non sense things too, especially in Italy! Thanks for your point of video and have a great day!

I'm turning 24 next month. And last year when I turned 23, I thought and planned about so many things to do in my 23rd year, i thought I'd start being more productive, meet new people, do new things, and more stuffs, or even learn and study again. But none of that happen. I'm not blaming the pandemic tho. But I definitely wouldn't want my 24th year to be the same again :(

When I was 6 I began playing the piano and was starting to get pretty good at it pretty fast. All my family members used to say that I needed to be a musician, but I never became one. Personally, playing the piano just for myself has kept me sane for many years already, and I don't think making a career out of my hobby would make much fun.

Hi. I'm 24 and I watched your video at one of my lowest nights. This video felt like a warm hug and just a few hours ago I thought my world has collapsed. It popped in my feed randomly I guess? Or maybe the universe guided me here. Whatever it is, thank you for this video. ❤️

[@shainesalazar4353]

this is so beautifully poetic on so many levels

[@Agpals]

The projection part is HUGE! People will say things that don't quite seem legit, but it's really them saying to you what they want and has nothing to do with you or your situation.

[@Wra8h]

Well, I'm 25 in three days. I've never seen such a..... deeply insightful, introspective, and self-aware video from a young person. I identify so much with a lot of what you said. The independence one, for sure, is a hard one for me as I think it's the default process for me to exist without feeling like I need others. The 'problem-solving' prompt response when someone opens up about a problem.... I, too used to be that way, in a way because I thought that was what was expected from me and I didn't want to disappoint the other person and seem like I can't help. I learned from my own experience and observing that people need support and empathy first and foremost. Also, realizing we're all equal individuals, like truly deeply seeing how nobody is better than anybody at the end of the day, was a big one for me in my early 20's. It actually made connecting with people a bit easier. Of course, everything, is a lifelong process of reaffirming and learning.

[@mariangelgarcia2947]

Point 14 is so true. In the years since I graduated college I've found myself getting so curious about things nd missing having an environment where I could learn about tons of interesting topics and regretting that I didn't take more advantage of it. Now I'm in a new college-esque situation where I'm expected to learn and I find myself making all of the same mistakes. Turns out it's hard to feel a desire to learn, even if that curiosity exists naturally in us, when you are forced to learn in a rigid and competitive environment.

[@simlebrity7177]

I learned a lot from this! Esp the part abt not giving advice unless solicited. I did that a few days ago and I misunderstood the situation and what the person was going through. Lesson learned.

[@Annisatisa]

I totally agree with the toxic positivity. We often force ourselves to be positive and if negative thoughts come to mind we often blame ourselves for being incapable of things positively. I just turned 25 and I realize that its so important to practice “acceptance” if u r sad accept it, validate ur feelings, acknowledge it, eventually it’ll go away. We tend to ignore and push away all our sadness/anger or any type of negative emotions and that’s the one that will eat us away eventually.
