Girl I'll be 40 in December. Life is like a video game we are all on different levels. As long as you have air in your lungs, food on the table, and clothes on your back you are BLESSED. We gotta stop putting these crazy expectations to ourselves

I am watching the video and said she’s going through this at 30, and I will be 40 this year. Your comment was the first one I saw. Thank you! Your comment helped me.

Girl this sounds soooo much like my testimony!!!!!! Getting fired from a job at 25 that I didn’t get trained for is the most crushing feeling when you are used to achieving, but YOUR LIFE STORY WILL CONTINUE!

Oh to be in my 30's again!!! So many young ladies need to hear this! We put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves, only to realize that life is never going to go exactly how we want or expect it to go. It's ok to have goals, but sometimes the goal post move before we can make it to the finish line and that is ok. Continue to live and grow young lady and you will be just fine. Kudos to you for using your platform to speak on real issues and to spread knowledge and positivity! 👏🏽👏🏽💐

I really enjoyed this video so much alana!! I’m so glad you decided to share this because I actually could relate to your story a lot. Even tho I’m still in my early twenties I tend to put pressure on myself for not being were I want to be in life but you just reminded me that it’s okay if things doesn’t go according to our plans because often times there’s always a lesson to learn through any difficult time we go through.. so I’m just extremely appreciative for you sharing this.. Keep being the bright positive light that you’re Ms. Alana Simone..❤❤✨🙌🏽

I love how iconic “How Sway?!” still is all these years later 😂 Love the chat. I just turned 34 and life is not at ALL how I planned it but God is great! Once we realize how much control we have (over some areas) of our lives, we’ll stop worrying and start planning/executing!

I can relate to some of your experiences so much. I got fired from a job last year and was so depressed. It was my first time ever being fired. I wish I would've heard your story sooner, lol. I definitely stayed depressed until that same job called me and wanted to rehire me this year. And the thing with the ice cream wrapper is not weird. I would ask and do the same thing. And actually, I try not even put food or takeout food containers in my trash. Like I will put it in a different bag and throw it outside in the trash.

Girl I really appreciate this. I turn 30 in April. And I had the same thoughts of what I would be accomplishing by a certain age. And whew girl that was funny. I got my first apartment at 23 and ended up moving back in with my parents at 29 so I can catch up on debt and going back to school. But honestly we all are living for the first time so just figuring it out as we go. no one way is the right way. I learned that trying to do it perfect the first time won’t always happen and not to beat myself up for it.
