when i turned 18 i started working as a construction worker. my real passion was painting. i painted after work but i was always so drained. i used to cry a lot about it. but im a man and i need to be productive, i thought. 2 and a half years later and im starting college to get a bfa, and making more art than ever. i don’t care that i have less money. i am doing this. terrific video as always.

[@Donked.]

I am 19 working construction I feel in a very similar position my passion is mma but it’s so physically taxing it was and is so hard to keep the energy for that after work how did you make the change and start doing what you wanted 2 do

[@Big.___..E_E]

Being in my 20s, juggling school, work, and being a KZbinr, I’ve learned not to joke with this time, it almost determines how your future will look. What you do now becomes the past, and the past always comes back, it never truly stays behind. The future is shaped by today’s actions, so mistakes you do now will impact you later. And remember, you can’t be wealthier or healthier than the way you think. So, choose to do something meaningful now, no matter the challenges because, if there was a way in then, there should be a way out, so there’s always a way.

[@whimsypibi]

turning 24 in 2 weeks and i feel so lost right now. i feel like i can't really function in this society. i constantly feel the pressure of not doing enough, being too slow, too sensitive and it makes me feel so bad about myself. thank you for your video, it gives me hope that things can get better. i really hope it does get better..

I left my home country at 21 and took a leap of faith to study abroad to find opportunities in other countries as being queer is not accepted back home. I'm wanting to let you know, being in a foreign country by myself and constantly being a stranger to every place that I go to, I seek comfort in your videos and your words helped a lot in figuring out my path forward.

[@elroe327]

I’ll be turning 21 December 9 too happy early birthday to us 🎉

[@personal.hannie]

never think that you are too old to learn something. sometimes we learn through the hard way, even hurting others along the way. but i believe that changed behaviour is the best form of apology as well as redemption and that action speaks louder than words. other than that, we are all so young and that sometimes this world is too fast-paced that it can really hurt us on achieving our full potential. take it slow and steady. like i'm already 24, still unemployed whatsoever but i decided to take initiative of my life for once and finally started writing my books and screenplays. on other days, i also go local cafe hopping and joining cultural festivals. it seems mundane but i wouldn't have it any other way ❤

[@REZZA2020]

It's a period of experimentation. Your purpose will find you. Redefine 'success'. If you are happy. healthy and engaging with others- you are successful. True success is simply being a whole human being everything else comes from this. Always question the expectations and values of 'society' which are ever shifting.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I haven't had any connection with anyone since 2019. There's no good reason for it besides COVID I'd say. It wasn't like this before. I see so many people go through the same thing. They're so sad and hopeless. God I hope we're going to be okay but it's so hard to believe now. I'm so chronically alone, touch starved, and depressed. This video helped me allot thank you❤

Hey love, remember that life isn’t a race, and you’re not “behind.” You’re exactly where you’re meant to be, walking your own path. The pressure starts when we compare our journey to someone else’s, like we’re all supposed to be on the same script. But your story, with all its highs and lows, is uniquely yours. The challenges and traumas you’ve faced aren’t meant to make you feel like a victim; they’re there as stepping stones, shaping you, teaching you, and making you stronger. Every tough experience can be a source of wisdom, not something that has power over you. Take time to understand what you’ve been through, how it affects you, and learn to work through it so you can live freely and openly. Healing isn’t about forgetting; it’s about growing through it and coming out better, one step at a time. If you ever feel like you’ve lost time because of your struggles, know that it wasn’t wasted. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’ve become more resilient through it. There’s no need to measure your life by anyone else’s journey. Your story is special-a different movie with its own rhythm and purpose. Let your journey unfold naturally and embrace every part of it. Heal, grow, and remember, there’s no rush. You’re right where you need to be. I recommend y’all to listen to Butterfly by Cleo Sol

[@WisdomClarity]

Girl this video is life saver.

[@blackwaterwolf]

I'm currently trying to move past a lot of family trauma at 23 years old, and your videos have really helped me in trying to define who I want to be past what my childhood molded me into. Thank you for frequently uploading, I hope you continue to go viral!!!!!

[@amampathak]

Your videos and really your thoughts, they feel so authentic and have a sense of depth that I don't get to see much in the social media landscape, so It's really awesome of you for putting it out in the world. Your experiences and the wisdom that came out of it is appreciated and every little thing helps bring some positive change into the world. Thank you for being you inayah. ✨

[@inayah0]

this means more than i can explain because i often wonder if social media is the place to disclose such vulnerability, but seeing words like yours helps me believe that it can be. i love you so much x

[@amampathak]

@@inayah0 Often in this sea of algorithms, information, likes and followers, etc... we forget why we do this in the first place....Human connection. I find that is so rarely felt with everything seen as 'content'. I don't view your channel as such and I'd bet that many do not, and that is high praise for your videos aren't just disposable or meant for trivial consumption, they feel like talking to a real friend, or as close as one could feel so. You matter, and it is your vulnerability that makes this possible. I know it can feel daunting at times to share something like that, but its through that you make real connections with the people that see this and get a chance to introspect about their own life through learning with your experiences. I think that is immensely beautiful and I can feel that you are too. Your soul shines inayah. so keep being you. thats all that matters dear. ✨

[@Me-ni2lx]

I just hope that one day I wake up not feeling so heavy like this, I want to experaince the joy of living, breathing a fresh air, surrounding myself with environment I deseve, having the excitement of a kid again, growing my garden again Just I don't want to give up on myself because I know I can do it and thank you for reminde me of that 🍀

[@tanatecha]

hey there inayah! I'll be turning 21 soon and this year has been an eye opener for me. the last few years, I was just doing things for the sake of doing them and was not feeling good mentally but this year was a wake up call when I saw so many of my peers moving ahead. So I started paying more attention to my mental health since March and there were a lot of ups and downs. But I'm feeling optimistic after very long time and resources like yours are so near to my heart!❤ (I loved the little animations in the video)

I think this video found me in the most perfect timeline that could possibly be and I say this because it has been sitting in my watch later list for quite a while. But today, as I picked up myself up after a particularly bad episode of sadness and a state of freeze, was the day that I, for the first time started doing meditations along with affirmations. Thank you for sharing this video with me. It was lovely hearing you talk about how change is possible. So much love to you, Inayah! ❤

[@inayah0]

So proud of you❤️

[@katguild170]

"Believe in what we cant see" this is actually the scariest part as most of us are taught how to judge everything by our rational minds, extremely logical. But when it comes to invisible things or an unclear prospect, the only thing we have is the feeling without any explicit evidences. We dont know why, we just somehow feel it. And it's worth to trust your gut. I confirm it.

ty for the risk part of video especially. i’m feeling a lot of weird anxiety a past days and maybe in part that’s because of things around i finally can touch and interact, but i completely forgot about this point of dreamy stuff in my head that was carrying me all the time before. maybe anxiety is also from fear of losing things i used to see around. you’re kinda back me thoughts about direction and power focused on what. have a good day, cya!
