Just here to chime in and say that I felt totally lost at 26. I felt like an overgrown child in many ways, I was still holding onto childhood trauma, had never had a boyfriend and mostly just drowned myself in work. I turned 27 and started to think things really needed to change. I then actually started to do something about it at 29. I’m now 32, planning my wedding, got a managerial position at work and couldn’t fathom being here 5 years ago but it shows how much can really change in just these next few years. If I could go back, I would tell myself to just enjoy the journey and the alone time for what it is - everything will be just fine and will turn out the way it’s supposed to.

Age 24 to 26 i spent alone. That time was fundamental to my personal growth. I made that decision actively after my parents were killed by a drunk driver and my boyfriend got drunk to cope with my sadness. So he had to go immediately obviously. I had a small group of friends who basically got board with my grief and told me to get over it after about a month and didn't reply to my message that the court dates started for the guy who killed them. So they got ditched too. I got a new job, i took on hobbies, i got to know myself and my parents by going through their house. Alone doesn't mean lonely. Sometimes we have to completely rebuild. Dont carry dead weight out of fear of being alone.

Losing everyone you love changes you. My parents are long gone. My uncles, grandparents too. My best friend? Dead by suicide. I'm sometimes overcome with a melancholy. I still enjoy life quite a bit but there are periods of time where I can't. People usually don't want to hear about it but I do have two really good friends still that hear me out. Honestly it's hard to understand until it's happened to you, and usually it only happens when you're older. I was around 35 when I lost my father, the last close family member I loved. That was really difficult. Couldn't even speak at his funeral like I did for all the others. I was alone.

[@Rose0004]

This young lady is my spirit animal, lol. I had a rough, unstable childhood and a family riddled with divorces and drama. I decided as soon as I was able, I'd seek consistent peace for myself- no marriage, no kids. Nothing against those things, btw- I just knew they weren't for me. I'm 37 now and I live my life a lot like Julie. I work two jobs and live in an apartment, but I am SO happy I set up my life this way. I work, come home to a clean place, and experience the peace and quiet I've been dreaming up all my life. When all my responsibilities are done, I can curl up with a nice meal and a good book or show. It's blissful. Everyone has their own version of happiness, and that just happens to be mine.

Give yourself that ten minutes each evening, when you’re working hard on some job, toiling to make those dollars. Read a book or watch a show for ten minutes each day, and enjoy that.

Watching what you eat reminds me of myself a year ago. I locked myself up in my house ( I live in Australia alone as a foreign student) as I was so depressed and played games for the whole day. I also ordered Mc Donalds every single day and my order was 3 big mac, 1 chicken burger, 4 large fries, 4 cokes ( I ate it all but the cokes). I was feeling so bad that I ate all of those and just sit in my room to play games that I even disgust myself. One day I thought I need to make the move, otherwise nobody is going to do it for me. I started by cleaning up my room, then my house. Until now, I've lost 10kg, addicted to the gym, walk 12k steps a day, swim for 30minutes at least and take care of myself more. So to everyone, if you feel the same as me a year ago, untill you feel you are doing everything wrong, just start doing small things like me, you will see yourself become a better version day by day.

Watching you grow, from a (i think) teenager to a full on adult brings me so much joy, you seem so at peace with your routine and your life. I really dont know but this was really healing my inner child that used to watch your videos, i am happy that you grew and seeing you be a content 26 yo makes me exited to be one myself. Thank you for this video, i really hope you enjoy your life ♡

[@thexxit]

Living life on your own terms? What's better than that! It's so easy for us to compare ourselves to people who seem rich, happy in love, the perfect family, the perfect life... but you can be happy in any state! Just remember your journey is your own. You never know another person's pain. Wishing everyone in these comments lots of happiness!

[@umwhat5361]

I'm a 19-year-old with eating disorder and severe self-esteem issues and I honestly think that I've already lost any chances to succeed and just somehow live a normal life. But such videos bring me hope. I mean, really. Very comforting.

[@ajmarsh99]

I'm not 26 yet but I'm in grad school and just now starting to figure out how to take care of myself and live a healthy but enjoyable lifestyle! These videos really give me some comfort that people around my age are also figuring themselves out and we can do it together! Also, the cry of pain while you're just causally slurping noodles at 10:13 killed me!!😂😂

Don’t feel bad because you don’t meet the expectations of others. Life isn’t the same for everyone, and all that matters is that you are happy! keep on enjoying yourself! Im 17, never had a girlfriend, and I don’t have many friends, yet I feel alright with myself. Im there with you Much love from Florida!

[@underworldly]

I’m 27 come January, I just have to say everything changed when I turned 25. I started seeing things from a different perspective. I haven’t had a boyfriend since I turned 25. I think 26 has been my most healing year! I only wish the same for every one else :)♥️

[@saralily47ra]

It's SO great to be able to be alone and be happy in your own company. I live alone and thoroughly enjoy being by myself. When I get lonesome, I just connect with a friend or family member and try to make sure I run an errand every week or so to feel like I am still part of society LOL but it is very important that adults learn how to be happy alone. it makes life a little easier when you're dealing with breakups etc.

[@tiyanawilliams5070]

Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl you seem way more responsible than what your description describes. Please, I suggest not to put pressure on yourself, look back on the things you have acomplished and keep pushing for more that you want out of life. There is no rush!!! I am also 26 and feel like I havent accomplished much of anything, and I have been really hard on myself so I can resonate as I am sure there are others that feel similar to us as well. I havent watched the whole video yet but by the mere first impression, it seems like you have a mature but bubbly sense about you. Keep that inner child alive!!! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience.

Ohhh whaat a bliss this is! After years and years of running after family and relationships begging people to choose me and love me how i loved them to only realise that they didn't choose me because i wasn't the problem they were. People have hidden agendas and jealousy so whenever you are in conflict and they blame you its just because you are more honest. Now i live alone have shown ppl not to expect anything from me, i dont go around running to solve their problems and here i am finally changing,loving myself and mental health being healed! 🎉 To the people who said Love yourself 1st i now know why you said it.

I'm in my twenties, as well, and I don't really have many friends / am barely social. Other people might not be that way, but once they tear you down because of it, it's like "fuck what they think." If you're happy with how your life is going, then that's great. More power to you sis 👏👏

[@MamaWhit87]

Girl, I haven't watched you in forever. I'm 35, no man, no REAL friends, and I'm a mom, but I was watching you before I was a mom. The single life can be nice, but I am going to start going to church so I can make some friends that I would assume to be good people. Christian people are usually nice? Lol, good to see you again. ❤

[@crunchybroll4731]

Church Is a great way to meet new people. But remember Christianity is about being forgiven by Jesus for your sins and going to heaven.

[@MBlto]

i'd say try to socialize in different places besides church, maybe if your kid is old enough to go to school or nursery- like places, you can socialize with other parents, or try some hobby/sport if you have the time! nothing against church, but i feel like it can be a community too closed sometimes, and having other options and a broader view is always better :) good luck!!

[@keke835]

​@@MBltotry volunteering! U meet all sorts of people of all ages races and religions. And since they're doing work for free, they're usually the kindest people ever!

[@silverbushb448]

Never, ever assume that anyone is a good person just bc they call themselves a Christian. There are wolves in sheep's clothing everywhere. Likewise, there are some really good people who are not Christian, they may be Jewish or Hindu or any number of religions or they may not be religious at all but still have high moral standards.

[@Sara-dp5dg]

As someone who grew up christian all I can say is be careful because they can be some of the most judgemental and fake people you will ever meet. They can also be the biggest killjoys. Can't do anything without them calling it a sin or mentioning god in every single conversation. That being said. I do have one Christian friend and she's one of the best people in my life. Just be aware of people and their intentions if you can

[@LouiseFalt]

You really inspire so many people! To be happy, without any certain reason. You go, girl !

[@jujubees711]

I say this with love, Juile. What many people do is fill the empty spaces inside of us with alcohol, shopping, and food. You're young now, but in time eating fried foods and junk foods provide no nutrition and later we pay the price with our health. These types of foods cause inflammation on the body leading to high cholesterol,, diabetes, and heart disease. I lost my older sister due to diabetes. She was only in her 40s. You can enjoy your life alone just as much taking walks in nature, joining a yoga class, or doing an online yoga class with Yoga with Adreienne on KZbin, and cooking and eating healthy foods. I used to be on high cholesterol meds in my early 30s, but I am on no meds now thanks so changing my diet. Sending much love you, Julie. You are a darling and a sweetheart

[@dovasquad5228]

Cholesterol is NOT an issue, I agree with the rest though. Do your research on cholesterol. You need cholesterol and our bodies MAKE cholesterol. If it were bad our bodies wouldn’t produce it.

[@PixieKiller]

I love watching your shorts and videos, they bring me comfort. Idk if it's the food, your presence or the fact that I'm 24 and also enjoy being on my own, just feels nice. I feel like if you did a meet up with everyone who watches your videos, we would all be super content buying food and just silently watch a movie together while eating and it wouldn't be awkward. Ya know?

[@z_bennet4208]

i think this video found me just when i needed it. when youre working on yourself sometimes it gets lonely and you forget why you made that decision in the first place. yesterday i realized i was very lonely and how i never had a comfort place or comforting things as a child. i didnt want to have anyone or anything long laating because i am scared its gonna be taken away from me, like how it did for several times as a kid. i dont want that. i want to build a life with people i can trust and i want to live life to the fullest, but thats not my priorities right now because i lack the foundations to create a life like that. i dont even know myself, i dont even have a life. my main goal is working on myself and make a good carrier. earn my own money=freedom as a woman. i will live my life free, not giving a phuck about who thinks what. i will be tied to nobody, and thats what motivates me. a life out of the fish bowl… then i can find my way home. ill update someday hopefully.

[@wonhoe1926]

love the video. I do gotta say tho I used to have an addiction to fast food, particularly Mcdonalds. I would be eating their food every week and when I downloaded the app which gives daily discounts and deals, I ate mcdonalds everyday. I genuinely do believe that fast food companies put something addictive in their food and if not that, formulate it in an addictive way because for the longest of time I couldn't stop eating mcdonalds. However, one day when I finally decided I was tired of gaining weight (by this point I gained like 15 lbs) I stopped getting it. It was really hard at first but with every week it got much easier and now I barely ever crave for mcdonalds. Which is crazy because I used to crave it everyday so i totally think the more u eat it the more u crave for it.

[@killamain6405]

i heard that they add addictive stuff to their food. You can eat MacDonalds every day, but you need to learn when to stop n how much your body can take with daily exercises added. Although not healthy can be done of course.

[@eatnplaytoday]

This is truth. The addiction comes from the “golden ratio” of salt, fats, and sugar. These giant food corporations literally hire scientists and researchers and put a lot of money into developing the best taste, best texture, and they also do a lot of marketing as well. The app is also specifically created to make you use it more. Your money is their priority, not health. Glad you stopped!

[@Yagazumi]

i am currently going through what you had went through right now. its so hard to stop going back to mcdonalds especially with the app deals (ive collected so many points due to how much i go there every week), how near it is to my home and i am not a great cook either so mcd just fills up my tummy so conveniently. but unfortunately ive gained so much weight from that.. im going to try and stop going to mcd after my birthday which is coming soon. hopefully i can suppress my urges :")

[@nicosanchez_music]

I was literally searching for a comment about this. Most of the foods in this video have loads of engineered chemicals that make your brain light up and literally want more...not far off from taking drugs really. These chemicals and ingredients are cheap and addictive to make you want more. They mess with overall health and hormones, weight gain, mood, pretty much everything. McDonalds is probably the worst of the worst. I would know having been a food addict at one point. I hope she doesn't go too overboard because it's tough going back up the slope

We all struggle to eat something. But just know about the appetite that suits which food you want to eat. ,No matter how much you eat, like a lot of junk food and fatty foods for example, the appetite will naturally change overtime.
