Me sees a 45-minute flow video, "time to lock in for best time if my life"

[@laurasmith856]

You girls are both so mature!! No one told me your 20s are the most confusing/lonley time of your life, take the time to learn about yourself and it will better prepare you to be a "well adjusted" adult. Its ok to not know and it's ok to be lonely. Our ancestors were from small tribes, so it is against our nature to have like 40 friends. It's totally normal to have 1-2 friends. Really enjoyed yall chatting. Please do more!

THANK YOU FOR HAVING MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! LOVED THIS GIRLTALK✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

[@magentadolphin]

Loving this so far, rn I’m going thru a weird time, I feel like I just want to drop my friends and make new ones as I’m so close to graduation and I feel like my friends are not giving me the same energy that I give them + I feel like we won’t last after graduation + they r major hypocrites when it comes to the things that they feel morally above (dw I’m a hypocrite too) but it’s so annoying and they constantly exclude me I hate it. This video has been rlly helpful

[@kirabrown2115]

I definitely relate to it being wayyyy more difficult to make friends post high school 🤧 it can feel so lonely at times and really make me question if I’m being too picky? But a friend helped me frame it as me just being a good judge of character and being able to gauge people pretty well and I feel like that goes along with what y’all were saying about just having higher standards for friends now 💛 just all about your attitude I guess 😇

HAPPY 20th BDAY MONICA 🥳 hope you had a good birthday! i wish you a decade of cultivation: cultivate your wants and needs, cultivate your creativity and confidence, cultivate your peace, and have fun (whatever fun means to YOU). you girls are awesome!! ✨🖤

[@flowlotl]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kind words and will be do my best to cultivate my creativity like you said 💗💗

[@chronicallysentimental5873]

happy birthday and wow sidrah is so talented those nails are beautiful!! and this video was so comforting to watch. i'm in a similar stage of my life and i relate to so much of what you guys said so it was really nice to hear your thoughts

[@flowlotl]

yay so glad u enjoyed it thank you so much!!

[@smart_dog13]

To quote Sidra (spelling?) "You're not gonna find someone like me.". That is SO true of both of you!! And the beauty of your friendship is so brilliant and wondrous, it comes across even thru a distant screen. I'm so happy that you have each other. Thank you both for letting me into your world a bit, it is such a gift to all who watch. Happy happy Bday, Monica!! (flowlotl)!! Perhaps your being introverted has something to do with the admirable depth and introspection you present, as well as your maturity. A lot of ppl don't realize that the answers to many of their questions are there, already inside of them, they just need to look inward. It seems as tho you have done that. Maybe that's why the first vid of yours that I watched, "A Video for the Quiet Girls" blew me away, I had to watch your other vids. Yay Monica!! Yay flowlotl!!💕❤️!

[@flowlotl]

Just as you think I'm introspective I also think the same of you!! Your comments are always so reflective and really make me so happy to have started this channel and have viewers that share the same values as me! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, next week will be a bday vlog! 😛

I LOVE UR VIDEOS MATE AND I LIVE U SO MUCH 💖☀️🫂

[@flowlotl]

AHAHAH LUV U 2

[@meaganolivia]

that last part abt parents saying "you havent made up ur mind abt art etc school yet" is so backwards on the parents' part bc they'll actually drop hundreds of thousands on med programs that last 12 years bc suuuurely you've "made up ur mind" abt that. very much unfair smh

[@lauraah47]

thank you for making this video, it was so refreshing!! its funny we share a lot of small things in common. im 21 and also off social media (best decision ever btw, instagram is hard to let go of but you'll feel amazing the longer you do) ive been out of school and was working fast food for a year, totally relate to not knowing what to tell ppl when they ask what i do. dont really have friends and struggling w/ loneliness too. hearing you both chat was so real and comforting, and you're both so wise!! im so glad i subscribed for the fashion content, and your personality rocks too? GIRL 🫶

[@flowlotl]

Aww thank u so much!! It's so easy to feel alone but I'm so glad you can relate bc it just means that ur never really alone! 💗💗
