"There are two types of confidence; the kind that you have before the world breaks you, and the kind that you build after it does," just kind of changed my perception of my purpose with that one.

"Each lows are a little higher than the last". I really need this today, as a 21-year-old struggled with chronic depression and C-PTSD my entire life. I don't even want to make it to 40, but somehow I have to force myself to live to take care of my parents😢😢

No need to think that far ahead. I don't look forward to living to 40 either, but as it gets closer, we will most likely have changed our opinion. Much better to focus on making things better in the shorter term, until the idea of living on doesn't seem too bad.

I can tell you as an early 32. There is still learning, we still stumble, we still don't have it all figured out, we are resilient, we know better than our younger selfs, we try not to make the same old and tired mistakes again. We sometimes look back and think, I should have done this or that, but soon realize. Gosh, I was just growing, doing what I was supposed to do, what was needed to survive, and learn, boy little did we know we were just getting started. Your 30s are a redemption chapter, make the best of it. Here's to more growth, cheers!😊

You described it exactly. I'm 24 and feel physically and mentally sick when I think oh wow I'm in my mid 20s. I yearn for the arrogant me when I was 17-19 and yet wish I could redo age 20-22. I've felt the most grown up and mature at age 23 and now 24. I don't want to keep yearning for the old me (younger me) but its hard to enjoy the present when the past/nostalgia grasps me and the future scares me. I hope I can get over this feeling and enjoy it. I wish life was longer for all of us it seems so fast when we are older.

@@HeavyWeapons52 yeah it took away my early 20s and then that time was dealing with pandemic health anxiety plus managing the new found ability to drink which I wasn’t dealing with it well maybe because of being trapped inside and everything fun closed even some places remained closed near me (water parks) 😂😭 lame. Being mid 20s is lots of pressure of having a baby, marriage, having a home, also enjoy ur youth and travel, eat healthy be fit, act grown but also enjoy ur youth…etc. Or some people think once your past age 23 you’re expired like at this point I think the correct thing is just be glad you wake up to a new day and enjoy your day. I have started journaling online and it’s wonderful to see I have 90+ day entries of my life so far. That being said I’ll always be shocked by the speed of time !! I miss being at home with my mom and siblings as a kid. Two out of four of us are moved out !!

I'm 43 and this video speaks clearly to me too, I'm going through a lot of uncertainity (sudden financial insecurity which means I may not be able to continue activities that were feeding my desire for purpose) BUT I'm coping with it better than I had expected (not great, but better). I think part of this is that I started to "chat" with my parts, my inner child, inner critic over the years (I have a book on Internal Family Systems on my shelf that is waiting to be read) but those conversations where initially tough and healing. The critic isn't so scared that I'm this clueless idiot who needs her bitchy reminders to not get things wrong, and the child feels more heard but I can also sense she wants more joy and play in our lives. I thought I'd mention this because I have a sense that it could help you, maybe try chatting with 17 year old you, ask them what they think the future holds. But also don't forget to live right here, right now, this is it (I keep having to remind myself) it's only ever going to be now and while plans and dreams for the future are important and can be really motivating, without embracing this moment you'll find yourself always looking back or forward. I've done this so much and it's take me into my late 30s and early 40s to figure this (somewhat) out. And I often need reminding, which is why I'm here! Good luck, there are ups and downs but I wouldn't trade the less fucks given as I've gotten older for the insecurity of youth. It's been my path at least.

I also just turned 29. Career wise, I’m still a student. Have been for the past 9 years. Except this year, for the first time, I’m finally in film school. And I get to graduate in 2 years instead of 3 because I spent 8 years doing “2 years’ worth of work.” I’ve accomplished a lot in life. And a few days ago, the leader of my church’s little writer’s group said I have a real gift for comedy. Took 9 years, maybe even more, but I’m so proud of that.

Are you reading my journals? 27 and feeling lost since 16. It's hard to build up your confidence when you've never believed in yourself. And when the world is scary and unpredictable. And when the pressure of getting older gets heavier with time. But maybe all of these are just excuses. I'm working on it and this video reminded me that I've come a long way since last year. One step at a time.

I'm in a different situation than you (31, but haven't believed in myself since I was maybe 16 or so), and to hear it all laid out so plainly and starkly and nonjudgementally is...well, painful. But in a good way. Like the sharp, quick pain as your eyes rapidly adjust to the sun after coming out of a matinee movie. Thank you, Jonah, for persisting and for sharing stuff like this.

Watched you as a teenager and now I'm 28 tuning back in. Feels like we're growing up at the same time as I've been having the same thoughts about getting stuck in my own thought-loop and what it takes to break out of that. I know exactly what you mean about people around you becoming very serious while I'm still just doing my thing trying to find happiness. I realize there's no timeline and the freedom of letting go of achieving what everyone else is achieving has let me become more authentically myself. I'm trusting myself now. Good luck to you in the last days of our 20s, I always hear people say such wonderful things about becoming 30

I love the distinction you make with confidence before and after the world breaks you. I was fractured a lot from childhood til my late 20s, but something inside me completely broke and shattered at 29. (So much so that my mind and body broke, and I developed severe POTS.) I'm 34 now and have been rebuilding that confidence in myself the last 5 years, and it's completely different from what I had before. I went from "I can figure this out...if I rely on the right people" to "I can figure this out on my own." In the end, there's a deep self-trust I've cultivated.

I'm 24 and I will be 25 in mid November. This is the 1st birthday since I turned 13 that I have felt nothing about a birthday coming up. I've not wanted to be alive since 13 and at 19 I promised myself to get to 25 at least. Every year before now felt so incredibly full of anxiety and doom. I have never gotten to savor the year before because I was worried for my future. I literally just took random classes that luckily got me a social science degree because I said, "Heck, if I'm gonna off myself at 25, then I might at least take classes that sound interesting." But I don't want to do that now. I want to live now, actually. I would like to go back to school for something serious now. For God's sake, I haven't even seen the beach or the sea yet or done so many things. So for the first time in years, I'm going into a new year feeling nothing, which is the best feeling ever.

Good to see you, Jonah! This video came at the perfect time. You and I are around the same age (happy belated birthday, btw!) and I won't get too far in the weeds w/explanations but since graduating with my master's last June, I endured a lot of loss in tandem with residual feelings of inadequacy for my particular field--even though my final clinical rotation mentors and professors rebuffed said fears. I spent the last year pushing off taking boards (I have a 3 yr time limit from graduating to pass and then complete a 9-12 month fellowship). I was essentially, allowing myself to fail in absentia; waiting for the timeline to cut me off from attempting and potentially failing boards. Today, however, I finally signed up and have already initiated an intensive review earlier this week. Life was telling me to get over myself and address my self-doubt and even though it's not always pleasant to sit tests or fail (which I might!) addressing what I was putting off has been the greatest relief. So thank you for this video. I know that it is designed to encourage change (and I believe it will!) but I also wanted to let you know it has affirmed change in another person (that I'm not silly to even try with so much time passed). Wishing you and yours well, Emrys (hopeful Speech-Language Pathology Fellow & Neuroscience Researcher*)

SO glad to see you back Jonah! And as always you're sending wise messages in a way that touches a part of my soul. I've been living in a constant cycle that I've wanted to break out of so badly, but have no idea where to start. I've been unhappy, had no motivation, just stuck- but I think it's time to get back to ME. Thank you 🫶🏼

I definitely feel like I am in the“gaining confidence after the world breaks you” phase of my life, and your words about not only acknowledging your pattern but working to change that truly resonates with me. Thank you for helping fuel my momentum to a better me, and good luck on your journey as well!💛

i found this at the perfect time. I turned 18 a month ago, and honestly, since i turned 16 I've just been repeating this cycle of doing nothing out of fear. It really hit me a few months back how my teen years are nearly over, i havent experienced so many things i wanted to and i keep being frozen in life out of fear. The worst part is with each day that i get older it gets easier to say that it is too late anyways. The last time i had this sort of brazen confidence was at 13-14 and now at 18 i feel like i was just depressed in my "best years"; but wallowing in that regret is just an excuse to repeat the same cycle. thank you for making this, it really opened my eyes 🫶🏽

You have more time than you think As Lao Tzu wisely noted, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Focus on what you can do right now, set small goals, and take action for every moment counts toward building the life you envision.
