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.

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

[@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 :)

[@karacoconutag]

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.

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.

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 :(

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.

this video recommendation really came at the perfect time. growing up is hard and confusing, so I really appreciated these tips and reminders

[@mutomboinprogress]

I don't even know what to say. I'll be turning 28 this year and I find your maturity aspirational. Plus, the thought that went into this video is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. Not only did it invoke introspection in us the audience, but the production quality is top! Well done, Katherin ❤

[@averagegranolagirl]

This is such a beautiful video. I’m a fairly new subscriber, so I haven’t been around to watch you grow, but while I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your other videos, this resonated with me on another level. I teared up. It’s so truthful, profoundly important, and something I didn’t know I needed to hear. Against a backdrop of such amazing scenery and videography too. This is a work of art!

My hope for you is that you take regular time-outs to be and to reflect/learn from past experiences, lean into/live in the present, and stay flexible about future plans bc no one really knows what your future holds.

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

[@Aurorya]

B-but I already knew all of theses things several years ago, it won't cure my depression 😭. I'm turning 25 in some months and I've never felt so bad in my whole life, each year is worse than the previous one 🤕

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

[@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.

[@SearraMascaro]

This is such a wonderfully expressive, brave video. Everything you said hits home for me and I'm sure it does for many, many other people. When you spoke about learning to empathize instead of "totally understanding", it made me emotional because I've recently become much more vocal about my queerness and have received quite a few ignorant comments. So many people are so quick to categorize me as "immoral" for being in a queer relationship/being gay - I find that I am sometimes exhausted from it. It's sad that so many people are so quick to project their biases & insecurities into a belief system. They prevent themselves from truly recognizing the diversity of human experience and behavior as well as their own incredible lack of understanding. It makes me angry but it also makes me want to shout from the rooftops and let my queerness shine all the more. As far as we know, our time is limited. Few people have the courage that you do and challenge their own perspective. You are authentically you, even if you're still climbing up that learning curve. I'm doing the same :)

[@nylagaston1418]

As a 22 year old I always feel mushy brain but this gave me hope that, that is the best way to be in becoming truer to my core self.

[@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.

[@asmaabenkirane3599]

I'm almost 24, and I've been struggling so bad to make friends since I moved to another country. People in your twenties, do you have any tips to make new friends despite the differences of culture and languages?

[@MultitudeOfChaos]

I am no expert but i feel like the best way to make friends is to just take a chance. Try going to places that you know for certain young people go to often(if you are in an european country I’d suggest pubs, bars, libraries ect), try initiating a convo with something simple with and see if they are interested as well in getting to know you, also asking for help(indications on a specific location for example that’s not too far away) and then start making conversation and joking around, you’ll see it’s a lot easier. Another good place to make friends is a park, i live in Italy and becore covid there used to be a lot of festivals for students and young people at the park, so you go there get yourself a drink and just talk to random people. I want to warn you against going alone to places that you don’t know very well at night so if you have at least one person you can trust bring them with you. I hope this helps

[@asmaabenkirane3599]

@@MultitudeOfChaos thanks for the advice! I live in Spain, so it's a lot similar to Italy. Well, I don't drink alcohol so I don't think I can approach someone at a bar or a pub, but yeah you're right, sometimes a simple conversation may lead to something better. Covid didn't make it easy either because of the lockdown and the many restrictions, but now that it's kinda getting better, I hope I'll have some luck and make new friends! Thank you again!!
