Hi Faith, I just graduated in December, and I totally understand how you feel. I wanted you to know that disappointments and paralysis by analysis are temporary and that you will be happy and successful. I literally just got a job yesterday after a lot of worrying and disappointment after graduating, but while you are in it, it feels really scary. You are already so talented and have built such an amazing content business (I actually commissioned a teabag painting from you!), so have faith things will work out ❤ I really feel like leaving college is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, transition we will go through in life, but you got this!

It’s amazing how even though you’re going through a difficult patch, you still find the positivity to share such a beautiful message at the end of the video 🫶 thank you, Faith. I hope everything will get better soon!

I really love the format of these videos Faith! Thank you for every upload you have for us. Change is overwhelming, I know how that feels. In the past year and a half, I started living in another country, got married, and changed my perspective on life completely. But no matter what happens, I know that I am going to be fine and I hope you can feel the same. You're the main character in your story so put yourself and your needs first and consider yourself and what's good for you when making any decision. Lots of love from wonderful Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦

Hey, this is my first video on your channel and I just want to say that I understand this feeling of instability. I graduated college last year, and there have been so many ups and downs as an artist - but things are panning out again in an exciting way and your life will, too. But awhile back, I lost my job because the company I was working for shut down and felt completely lost and heartbroken. Know your worth and your talent and say yes to things that interest you. Those little things build up and present you with great opportunity. ❤️

Hi Josie! Thank you so much for this incredibly sweet comment, it really helped me feel less alone in this strange era haha. I'm so glad to have you here!

That's a nice new routine, Faith. I'm currently experiencing high functioning depression and this is how I would like to start my day but I'm always stuck in bed unless it's time to prep for work. Thank you for posting this video. Cheers, Faith! 😍🤓🥰

Beautiful video, Faith! I so appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable with us and the uplifting message at the end. I also have been finding myself struggling with small bouts of paralysis by analysis (I have never heard the term before this, so I appreciate being able to put it into words a little easier now!) and trying to figure out how to best work through it. I'm glad to read in the description that you are feeling better! Graduation anxiety is no joke, but things will work out (I apologize that I don't have anything less generic to say, but for me, this is the most important hope to hold onto!). 🤍

Oh thank you SO much Maddie, that is so incredibly kind and I truly appreciate your reassurance and wisdom.
