Life Is Crazy (Story One)

Hey guys! thanks for being here for another video! This is the first to a series that im starting that will basically be vlog style "episodes" as i navigate life as a 21 year old yoga teacher. I dont actually teach yoga full time at the moment. Yoga holds such a powerful place in my heart that i fear if i taught it too often i would get sick of it.
Today i made a curry recipe using tons of things in my garden and below is the recipe:
1 medium pumpkin
3 small onions or 2 medium
4-5 cloves garlic
1 tbsp curry powder
1.5 cups red lentils
2-3 medium tomatoes
coconut milk
4.5 cups water
4 medium carrots
1 thumb of ginger
2 handfuls of greens (i used baby kale)
Finely chop all the vegetables and place them into a pot with the spices, lentils, and water. Cook on medium heat with a lid on the pot for 30 minutes. Once everything is cooked down and mushy turn the heat off, toss in the greens and coconut milk and stir!
Viola! an amazing easy authentic curry that takes no time!
Serve the pumpkin curry over brown rice and top with cilantro and lime:)

Overwhelmed at how well you were able to articulate exactly how I've been feeling for years. I'm 26 and have no idea what I'm going to do "for a living" because I dont feel in any way motivated/inspired to pursue any traditional capitalist careers. I'm made to feel lazy because I want to spend my time in ways that feel meaningful to me. And I still have no idea how to balance this desire with being a "responsible adult." I'm happy I've found your journey.

[@mmojorissen]

@Maxine- I have a project that may inspire you. It concerns children and elephants. If interested comment back. It's VERY REAL. At 26 it can be difficult to want to help children and elephants. I not going to try to convince you of anything. I know what I've created.

One of the ways I connect with myself is through journaling. I journal with pen and paper. I have been journaling the details of my life since I was 8 years old. Now I am 35. I have never been accepted by people. I named my journal Bernardo and he is my best friend. The wonderful thing about Bernardo is that I have found acceptance within his pages. He is my safe haven, my free space, and my friend when no one else will listen.

[@billbuffington3037]

I've watched probably 10+ of your videos, before I watched Story One. I think its great that you taken this step to try and find the you that you that you want to be. I'm 54, and I'm trying to find my way. Its later in life, but I've finally realized that I've always lived to my parents expectations, for education, for family responsibilities, , and for a career.. Having lost both my parents, and not having a current relationship, its just me going forward. I too have no idea where the future lies, but I'm excited about trying new things, and leaving much of the responsibility behind. The first thing I've realized is that I'm 30 years older than most of the people that inspire me to make the change. That just means I have less need to worry about the future.

[@Lily_and_River]

You're never too old to change things! Also how we perceive time is very relative. When we are doing what we love and really present in the moment, it can feel like the time has stopped. I like to think that we all carry a longing for eternity and time is just temporary.

[@kaylathornquist4263]

I just discovered your channel/videos today and decided to back up to your first story. As I watched, your way of describing your journey and self-reflection resonated with my own thoughts and self-reflection during this quarantine. It's amazing for me to have gotten the space from people or society due to being forced to minimize where I go, what I buy or what I do, to realize a lot of it was taking up space, whether physically or emotionally/mentally. I just turned 30 and feel I've veered away from my early 20's ideal life or ideal environment for me to flourish in due to societal expectations or "weight" on my shoulders. I'm really, really glad that you're figuring this out now, or at least this past year. Thanks for sharing this and I hope you stay steady and content and happy. PS: if you like intentional spaces or communities, I learned a lot of what you talked about at Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. It's worth a trip someday and the people that I know and love that are still there are amazing and follow similar paths to what you're focused on. :)

It doesn’t always work doing the traditional work. I have been doing that my whole adult life. However, I still feel unfulfilled. Not that my work isn’t purposeful but there’s always a feeling of something missing. And I agree… Our purpose in this life is to love. So I put that love into all things that I do.

You really expressed so well what I've been feeling for years. I'm 27 now and back in my late high school and college days I used to party and drink a lot as well. Over the years I've tried really hard to work full time jobs that make me miserable because that's what I'm "supposed to do". My last job made me so unhappy that I basically shut down and was going through the motions with so little awareness and love for life. Covid was a blessing in disguise because when I lost my job, I started working online with clients that I enjoy working with. I'm still living at home, where I feel kind of stuck since I don't make much money yet, but I feel more like I'm on the right path than ever before. So thank you for sharing this story, because it really resonated with me. I love all your videos so much
