the 20 things I wish I knew in my 20’s.

[@Timeastor]

I'm 41, but I have never stopped feeling like 20. I wish you the same, Lena! My life has been very lonely, but I've never been miserable, always seeing the light ahead.

"sit with your uncomfortable feelings" resonated with me a lot, especially since turning 25 and realizing a lot of the things from my childhood still linger in how I interact with the world till this day. I used to think that with time, things heal naturally but I've come to understand it takes more active work which is why I'm making it a priority in the next year to seek therapy and put more effort into dealing with uncomfortable feelings.

[@jarbise]

i used to watch you in high school and am revisiting as a 23 year old, i remember watching you at that age. still love you & appreciate this ❤

[@RaizadaS97]

You and I are on the same path, continents apart. I’m turning 28 soon. Left my corporate law job in a city I loved, streets bustling always something to do. I have no clue where I’m headed. Not applying for jobs anymore. Travelled to Spain and Portugal. Will to Indonesia and Australia soon. Am single since the last 2.5 years and haven’t been dating intentionally. Mostly because I didn’t know where I wanted my roots to be or what I wanted to “become” in life. Lowkey I’d love a long term relationship now. Finally made a list of don’ts and feels so good, it’s progress. Shifted back to my parent’s for a month, shifting to a beach town soon to try out living by a beach finally :) allowing myself to feel everything and experience different lifestyles. I probably sounded crazy to many of my friends and family but so many people tell me how bold I am. More than anything, I don’t care about what anyone thinks anymore as long as I got me. I go through the same pain of living in two different places - loving the hustle of Bombay whilst still not calling it “home” anymore. Miss my friends but I remind myself that I gotta give in to my gut telling me to explore and run free for some time atleast! This video is so well thought out, kudos to you and I hope to meet you somewhere across the world :) Love, Saumya

[@laurakorn4486]

I love how you used the word 'shifting' - it makes it feel like a gentle transformation, change, a curiosity, rather than like any feelings of shame or embarrassment about living back at your family home. We would love to have you in Australia! I hope your journey is a fruitful and grounding one for you :)

[@callmeacab]

Gotta tell ya, I’m 54. This is good advice for ANY age. I’m so impressed that you have already gained this much clarity. Well done. And happy birthday 🎉

[@shanleander6009]

Right ! I felt the same way listening

[@camillazaccheo2194]

I reality felt like your were reading my mind! You are a very special human being Elena. You make me bolder ❤️

[@lorenss124]

Finding book The art of self love by Sabrina Windale should be your top priority, even if thats the last thing you do in life

[@Shreya-vs6bh]

Is it really that great?? I'll definitely read it next

[@joelharris4399]

Redefining "success" is a life essential. The minute you started making coffee at the beginning of the video, I knew you meant business ☕

[@kubikdvorsky]

I listed these in a word document, printed it out and put on my wall (for real). Some of these advices are really good, I have learned many of them on my own but it is hard to not forget and stick to it sometimes😅

[@ElenaAnna.]

I first used a dating app on a trip to Paris when I was 27, with the romantic notion that I'd meet my life partner travelling (like how my parents met in Tbilisi). Instead, I ended up meeting him on a dating app at home in Canada, at age 31, during the pandemic! While I wouldn't change a thing, I'd say people in their 20s should live with intention, but with an openness to the right things taking time. Like you said, without rushing life along! 💛

[@shraddharajmohan5581]

I turned 20 just a few months ago, so this video has come at the perfect time ❤ Thank you Elena! I've definitely been going through a lot of emotions about what being in my 20s means and how I should live my life now. This video definitely made me feel better.

[@Mllshowtop]

This video should be watched and re-watched. You get out of it feeling hopeful and at peace. Thanks Elena :)

[@Karabob82]

I’m 42 and can still relate to all of these so much. For anyone who thinks they will have it all figured out just know that you won’t. Lol and thats not a bad thing! We just continue to learn and grow and even as you age deep down you will still feel like you’re 20 and figuring it out. But I will say 40’s are amazing. I love your page so much and you are such an old soul. Wise words, thank you for sharing!

[@Lioninthenight]

I think you are living the right way in your 20s. And I'm confident that you will continue it. Just think. You will have to go through 12 more Halloweens just until you are 40, and you will still be very young!

[@pfiffikuss0315]

Thank you for this video! I turned 20 in January so I’ll complete my first year of my twenties soon and I honestly struggled so much this year. I finished my bachelors in July and moved overseas and am now working and having to do stuff on my own without my friends and family close by and also no partner has been tough. But it was so good to hear everything you said and just reminding myself that life keeps going and eventually all these things I’m currently worrying about, will lie in the past :)

[@tweemblr]

Currently 25 and trying to work on lesson #3 (redefining success) -- This was actually a lovely video with amazing advice. Thank you, Elena !!

[@Alexkraczek]

Love this video!! We’re in the same season of life so it’s amazing to be able to go through the things together. P.s your eyes look incredible in this So much love from Vancouver ❤

[@positron321]

Advice №27. While you are young, don't be afraid to take risks. You gave the good advice!

[@bonne_vie]

Yes take chances while you have less responsibility.

[@sophiaramirezdearellanovel1807]

loved it so much, i´m turning 20 in a few weeks and it felt like a big sister advice to watch this video, thank you!

[@capturingmyworld]

this was beautiful and a great reminder of things I already learned for myself and things I want to think about more. I think I'm gonna watch this again. thanks elena! ❤

[@shivangishekhawat.1122]

Elena so happy to hear as it has made many things clear to me and thank you for sharing 🌹 Wish you happy holidays 🤗

[@PlamenBarzev]

Hey Elena, As an owner of the same coffee machine, one recommendation - get a proper, metal, tamper. It really makes a difference. :) Cheers!

[@ozatanvi]

Elena, I’m loving your chatty videos! 😍 Also, I have to say, you’re absolutely glowing-Paris clearly suits you so well. Sending loads of holiday vibes your way! 🎄🎅

[@user-fn1nt1su5m]

As a 21 year old freshly out of uni and unemployed it’s been so hard. I struggled through uni with depression, managed to get a first but have found it really difficult to job search and keep going. Cant even find a single job that would take me and it’s draining and so exhausting

[@jessicavulganova]

it’ll get better! ❤ keep going

[@jamilatif4869]

ya, exhausting. remind you here, keep up with your personal oral cares ❤ makes eating my favorite snackies more aumazing when i keep up with oralcares❤

[@MarieUllrich-w6k]

Like that you got straight to the point! And also thumbs up for the vulnerability! :)

[@beatrizcascelli]

Elena, you are the best! Also, you are so so so gorgeous!

[@jasoncromwell4206]

I agree with you 100%, Elena!!!!! I wish I would have had a video like this instead of learning the hard way. I really have nothing else to add.

[@helenbenicaso]

Wise young woman,,,,there are insights and lessons for all ages. Thank You...many good reminders.❤🙏

[@lillyblue9746]

Wow such good advice, they reflect your amazing character and development through your twenties! My thoughts throughout the video: who ever ends up with elena must be the a lucky man! (Thats me saying as a straight woman lol) and I believe you are not religious but I still wanted to share this quote I love: your soulmates name has already been written next to yours by (who ever/ what ever you belive in), so I just think we have to be patient and know deep down that the right one will cross our path in the right time

[@Jen-wg9me]

okay but julia fox's memoir was one of the most fascinating and entertaining reads ever

[@0kur123]

Ur style is so different here🤍🤍🤍🥹 very interesting

[@nienkeaaf846]

This was such a nice video. It also gave me some New inspiration for my goals in 2025. thank you ❤

[@SwapnilShirsatShorts]

Hi elena 💓 I'm 38. But now I'm become more calm person. I don't care people 🤷 who judge me. I'm very focused and caring nature person. Love ❤️ you dear.

[@anaislake]

[@madisonhetterly]

Loved this ❤

[@abbieamavi]

5 and 19 are the hardest for me, but I thankful I learned the others around 22

[@israamohamed3839]

oooh is this Nathaniel's apartment? So cute thank youu for the lovely advice

[@fionalente3241]

Superbe vidéo comme d'habitude :). We search and search for fulfillment and answers in a world where we will never find what we need until we look within and realize we've had everything inside us all along. Living from this perspective, in the present moment, makes life magical no matter where you go or what you do.

[@laurenpacella]

Wise lessons from a life well lived ✨️ Trying to also live the best twenties I can 😊

[@ziaakbar2535]

I truly love watching your videos they are amazing and inspiring just like you are ❤😊

[@lyrica5816]

omg you’re soooo gorgeous!!!

[@JennyAustin-g6d]

I feel like so many girls don't know the secrets they deserve to know. I found this book,' The Irresistible Seduction Formula' by Olivia Simmons and it’s literally life changer. Has anyone else heard of it?

[@avamateega7173]

Turning 20 in less than a month thank you!

[@Sarah-kg9zj]

where is your top from i adore it

[@zeeshan9548]

Great video

[@ElenaTaber]

I’d love to hear what you wish you knew in your 20’s!

[@MartinTimothyTimko]

I'm 40, but I'm an old soul :))). It is not good to be young. I am glad, I am not 20. Being young is hard. Now, that I am 40, I am in better mental health, than ever :)))

[@mansoor3159]

Have A Magical Holiday Elena and I am always always waiting for your new Vlogs and I am always looking forward to your vlogs May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love to you 💫🥹💗

I wish I knew at 20 that at 40 I would be so unhappy with my life I would be watching videos about things I wish I knew at 20

Nice kitchen and wild hair fringes...

[@FREEDRONE40]

It looks like you've accomplished a great diet, fit as expletive!

[@daver465]

Success can only be defined by yourself and what makes you happy. Are you thinking you are happy because other people told you to achieve certain things? Did you want to achieve them? Use that knowledge to game the system but continue to push towards what you want. The old phrase of US capitalism is broken

[@RuebenNomura]

Aloha that was a good advice on this video

[@hannahkaiser5110]

This looks like Nathaniel Drew's Paris apartment 🇫🇷

[@TheUnderdark]

As the days pass, my feelings for you grow deeper, like a fine wine that matures with time. I can't fully explain it, but each moment with you makes my heart swell with more love and admiration. 💖🍷

[@newenergymagic5271]

28

[@jrr4475]

That's what I heard. She really needed that coffee.

[@editname8083]

Hate the term “girlboss”. You would never refer to a man as a “boyboss”. Same goes for “woman engineer” or “mum-prenuer”.

[@hollylewis5302]

Add one more: Make sure the title of your videos are accurate. lol.

[@tommynikon2283]

Huh? you're 27...and ALREADY dishing on your twenties? Seems a little PREMATURE. That's something you do when you're 30+. How how about a recap of your teen years?!🤟

[@lisalalalisssa]

[@FriendsOfGod2024]

@ElenaTaber I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. It's like you said " don't settle" and " good things are worth waiting for" because maybe someone was attracted to you but then you started dating and ... There's a pleasant surprise one minute in 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7aaYl4iLR3i9Esi=BHTNjkDmCPQ_pjjo
