for anyone feeling behind in life

[@tajashania]

Literally watched this twice, it was amazing!! I’m 25 with no money or job, and I’ve never felt more lost or alone. Seeing videos like this really helps me though so thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@violahelen_]

Taja, I’m so glad this resonated and that it has helped others. it’s always so reassuring to know that what we’re feeling is completely normal and natural, and that we aren’t alone 💛 things will work out exactly as they’re meant to, I promise xx

Same here girl

[@MBwolf21]

I’m just about to go on my first solo travel for four months as a 33 year old! Everyone’s path is different. Enjoy the ride

[@violahelen_]

exciting, I love that for you! where are you going?!

[@MBwolf21]

@@violahelen_ Thailand for a month, then Laos,Vietnam,Cambodia,Malaysia,Singapore,Indonesia, Philippines then might go Korea as more of a holiday on the way home. Could probably do with more time but with life commitment’s best to do what I can when I can. 😄

If you feel lost in life consider volunteering and helping others. It will help you more than them

[@joshlyn9041]

just want to say thank you for posting this, truly

[@violahelen_]

so glad it resonated xx

[@mc-cs7gy]

thank you for this video, i feel like everyone's growing but me sometimes. I keep forgetting that we all grow at our own pace!

[@thedoode22]

Very brave to post this admission on social media, I respect that. I am living a life akin to many of your Oxbridge peers - 25 years old and ranked highly at a multinational company, with the associated financial benefits, and have optimised my life to maximise wealth. I have enjoyed living vicariously through your Thailand vlog series and dreamt of that nomadic lifestyle, but I know that the grass is always greener on the other side. Despite having done 'well' on the surface, I have never felt less fulfilled in my life - recent breakup, loss of my best friend and general uncertainty about the future of my life fill me with anxiety day-to-day. As you say, we're all on our own journeys and we have to learn to embrace change and uncertainty - I think it's a key component of true happiness.

thank you so much for sharing this. the grass is always greener on the other side, it’s true! hope that things start getting better for you soon xx

Hi Viola, I’ve been a silent watcher of your channel since the Oxford days. Back then, I was desperately planning my application to Oxford trying to make it as perfect as I could. I applied, got rejected and ended up studying at my home country, Italy. That rejection really let me down, making me feel depressed at times and constantly disappointed at my myself. But it turns out next year I’m going to Cambridge as a visiting student for the whole academic year, and I’m planning to apply for a masters there as well. This is to say that my past self could have never imagined I’d end up studying at Cambridge after my Oxford rejection. Life isn’t easy, and as you say no one has it all figured out. Thanks for this wonderful video, and all the best for your future!

[@CookiePire]

hey i was curious about your application to cambridge, what was it different that you did from oxford? thank you!

[@falgunipatel2284]

I am 25 years old with no job and no money living with my mother. I am so lost. Looking for direction about what to do with my life.

I just turned 26Y 2 months ago , and I’m going back to complete my final year of college after a long-break due to mental health issues, thank you so much this video was much needed for me

[@daysofsunshine5974]

I feel this so much. Having episodes of severe mental illness for lots of early adulthood, COVID, being in short term or dead end jobs, left me feeling lost and stuck as my friends got in graduate jobs or started PhDs. And now I'm going back to uni to study psychology and try and help others ❤

[@beepboop9976]

Thank you. I needed this

[@violahelen_]

💛💛

[@kristenrai2714]

Its been 7years and I'm not able to graduate I feel hopeless and think where I went wrong I don't feel motivated to study being stuck at home for so long with my parents health I didn't realize time moved on so fast I'm still there when I first got admission into college I'm not the only child we are altogether 6 children everyone moved abroad with their families and might not be back and when it was my turn to explore everyone thought our parents needed someone and they chose me everytime I thought it was love we are a loving family but didn't realise I had to sacrifice my dreams time and myself now I don't even know what I really love i lost myself while they kept on moving with their life.

[@candrawstuffinc3186]
