"it can be really sad to admit that most of the shitty things you go through in life happen just because you're unlucky, not because you're chosen"- I needed that

[@MichelleGia]

when I read it back now I see how nihilistic I sound🥺 but I think I just mean that it's okay not having to justify everything and just be

[@dariofkxv6829]

@@MichelleGia I heard it as how you described it just there and not as nihilistic! its interesting how you hear it differently when reading it back though haha

I had my period of sadness March 2020 - Dec 2021. I had the two hardest and worst summers of my life during that period which made the semesters around them horrible. I didn’t realize how unlikeable I was and how tolerant my friends because they were good friends until I’d been in therapy at the 3 month mark. My therapist told me I’d made progress but therapy wouldn’t work unless I did but that really didn’t register for me until 2022 started. I decided to take what I learned and get myself out that dark place. The past wouldn’t be the past if it was unresolved but it took recognizing that although I wasn’t the blame for why I was in that state, I was responsible for getting myself out. Other’s peoples validation of our sorrow feels great but shortlived empathy is not as powerful a feeling as prolonged and unwavering resilience. Great chat Michelle. It’s really profound how comfortable you’ve gotten with these sitdowns. I think it’s always good to peek into the perspectives of people willing to share them online. Stay amazing!

Marsalis🥺🥺!! Thank you for sharing your story

Ngl I dig this format. You'd do great if you started a podcast. Your videos feel like safe place anyway, I feel like podcasts would fit in great. Keep up the good job!

[@MichelleGia]

thank you that means so much🥹🫶🏼 I may start one in the future, but I have a few projects I'm working on right now, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to be consistent with it:)

[@rice_dish]

wow Michelle, this came at the perfect time lol. I am going exactly through the same things and in this constant cycle of feeling sorry for myself, not getting anything done and being at the mercy of all my excuses. over the years of trying to "heal", I've really attached myself to my emotions and "trauma" to the point where I'm going nowhere with improving myself. thank you for this video, I love the vibes and how relatable the content is. I wish you the best, let's push ourselves together

[@MichelleGia]

Im so happy it was helpful❤️❤️ i feel you 100%, you are not alone, wishing you all the best moving forward:) cheers to us bettering ourselves🥳

Hi Michelle! You’re the kind of person I’d love to be friends with. You seem like a very grounded, down-to-earth, warm, and genuine person. I really admire people who are introspective and profound. I feel like you'd be the kind of friend I could talk to for hours on end. I hope I can connect with you, but I know you don’t have other socials apart from KZbin. Anyway, I hope you continue doing your art! Your channel is a safe place to be in, and your content is always substantial and inspirational. Love you ❤️

[@katfox678]

It takes a great deal of wisdom and humility combined to be able to look at yourself as introspectively as you do. May you inspire others to do the same, may we all heal, and may you never stop learning and growing 😊 Ps. This format is so nice and comforting. 😊

I love this video so much, we truly are the ones who have to do the work to get out of a rut. OOo I have an idea for a topic, maybe one that talks about focusing on your hobbies or focusing on your creativity anything that brings you joy. because at times I know what I love to do but being so busy makes it hard to prioritize them. so anything along that would be so wonderful:)

[@MichelleGia]

So, well, how i feel when i talk to friends about my problems openly. Sometimes they look a bit strange at me and i feel like i shouldnt say something, or im not understood on how serious it is. Because i feel like a burden, they say im not tho. But it feels like that. How many problems should you figure out, what should you ignore, what should you talk about and not and to who, because not all problems your friends can solve, and i dont want to lose friends. But i also feel bad around my friends if i cant be a good enough friend, which makes me want to explain and apologize, but that feels so negative too. So, its a bit like, where do you draw the line on what to say. So say if im a bit quiet around my friends, i want to apologize for being quiet because i dont understand why i am like that, and in constant pain. But if i talk about my feelings its just going to be not fun to be around me i feel like. So its like, what do you do sometimes.

I’d like to challenge something you said Michelle in a Respectful way. my Dear Respected KZbinr. You stated that sh***y things happens to you and it’s best to accept it with no exceptions of a transformation. I think of Buddha, & His (Four Noble Truths) *Life Has inevitable suffering * There is a Cause for the Suffering * There is an End to the suffering * The end of the suffering is in the eightfold path. What is the eightfold path ? *Right view *Right effort ( big one) *Right intention *Right Speech *Right Action (work not only for yourself but for others. *Right Conduct *Right Livelihood * Right Mindfulness *Right Concentration This path can be broken down and simplified to how we Think 💭, Speak 🗣️ & Behave , towards ourselves and others. It starts with our mindsets as you’ve stated , we get stuck in a pattern of thinking which then leads us down a slippery slope. A more realistic and enthusiastic/Broader view of life can create an atmosphere for greater opportunities For Thankfulness. And Gratitude leads to inner Peace ☮️

[@MichelleGia]

Yes please do:) I love hearing different perspectives! I really appreciate the insights you gave. The teachings of Buddhism are something that I've always wanted to look deeper into. Funny enough it's the religion my family practices, but I know way more about other faiths. Thank you for you comment🫶🏼 your knowledge is invaluable to me:)
