I’ve been saying for awhile now that Covid made people truly examine their lives and relationships. There was no place to run and hide, you had to face the reality. A lot of relationships didn’t weather this storm and that’s ok. All that matters is you coming out stronger/happier than before.

[@NymaTang]

We all had nothing better to do than look inward really.

[@SmyleePunkRoc]

Yes Ma'am

[@sheryllbell8974]

I totally agree. I was married for 20 years and separated during the 20th year. I was totally devastated, homeless, physically sick, living in hotels with my 2 daughters and grandchild. My faith in God helped to guide me and a year later we were working on repairing our relationship. Just when we thought we were OK our oldest daughter passed away December of 2022 due to complications of COVID. Now we're raising our grandchild. I consider it a blessing to be able to do it. I'm in awe of the journey that our lives have taken.

[@Elizabeth-mf3dn]

Agreed! Very isolating and lonely times. Personally it was extremely hard but I would journal and pray, then I made a plan and list of goals and they all came true! You find out what you’re made of.

[@NBrown-kh8lp]

BIG FACTS! Ended my relationship November of 2020, but I knew it was over around that summer! Hard, but best thing I did for me❤ got closer to God, and boy was that the best feeling in the world 😩❤️ God really loves us y’all

Me too because sometimes it’s obvious but even close family will almost kick you when you’re down. I thank God for resilience and him covering me bc I may have been physically alone but I wouldn’t have made it unless a higher power was with me always.

[@jaithomas9409]

More people need to know what these biological clock conversations do to people emotionally and mentally... If you're on the timetable you're already well aware, if you could matetialize the right partner out of thin air it would be done. Either you're asking me to settle or are completely blind to my feelings as an individual-I am more than my reproductive system. Our loved ones mean well, but we need to start giving people truth bombs, having kids for the sake of having them or time 'running out' is not what's up when the situation isn't right. Glad you're finding your way through it all.

True,, I lost me 20s and till mid thirties due to being immigrant,, I was trying to survive,, in different country, different weather, different culture,, I wasn't allowed to date or have sex it would bring shame, mid 30s I dated a horrible man who used to and dumped me I was inexperienced at 38 I was engaged to a childish man,, I thought I can make it work,, but never did,, at 40 now people talk about biological clock, it hurts nothing I can do I was unlucky.. They good at pointing it out but never help when you drawning.

[@kaamya921]

Today is exactly a year ago that my husband of 33 years died. I don't talk about it because it's such a downer for everyone who hears it. So my world is different and not in a way I'd have chosen. But this is my life now. So I thank you Nyma for being transparent with us. I'm in a better place than I was and I expect to get to an even better place than this. I don't even know what else to say.

This right here… and you ended feeling so much doubt in the beginning too.

[@Ginmabes]

My 7-year relationship ended 18 months ago and I'm still grieving and sorting through it. It's hard! I cut off contact 3 months ago because I realised he wasn't a good friend to me at all and I was just clinging on.

I ended my 11 year relationship 15 months ago. I grieved towards end of my relationship and the beginning of my single hood. I've been having a blast through the ups and downs. I recently cut off contact as well. We are two different people. I will always have love for him but, I love and am in love with myself more. Good luck girl, you got this.

[@kwood0721]

My relationship of 4 years that took up all of my late 20s ended 3 months before COVID. So I entered COVID alone, 8 hours from my family and friends, in the apartment we got to together. It's been over 3 years and I'm just feeling comfortable saying I'm ready to let someone else in. But it was three years of learning my emotions and myself and my boundaries. Keep your head up doll! Life is definitely a marathon.

[@VinayShah-yt5bt]

Has anyone asked Nyma Tang a question on that creator connection website ThoughtSpace AI where you get instant answers to questions and can watch where he discusses it? Ok, was just wondering.

[@lorickwash2099]

Thank you for sharing with us. Being ok with vulnerability is so hard when you always have to keep it together.

Yes, I didn’t think I was allowed to be a mess 😩 but now it is what it is.

A 10 year relationship. That’s rough! Having to find yourself all over again? Who you are as a single woman. Dating again after that. Finding someone who knows you through and through again.

Been watching you for years and I’ve always thought we were very alike. There’s just something about your aura that gives off nurturing and loving but strong willed. I am also the oldest and like the mom figure and I have found myself struggling with the same issue of bottling everything up and downplaying my own feelings. I just wanted to say I’m sorry you went through that, I really am, but I’m also proud of you for doing what was best for yourself. Thank you for sharing ❤ I hope you keep healing and doing amazing at life.

[@pcla.94]

@@NymaTang I agree, we do! Luckily we have the blessing of being looked up to by the people we love the most!

[@Peculiarities]

That outro was gold. I also count it a win when I’m able to cry. I recall how cold my heart was when I didn’t think there was room in the world for my feelings. A friend asked me “do you think you’re insignificant?” And the crying levies broke. Big love to you, Nyma - it’s impossible to see the other side of pain when you’re in it, but here you are and the work continues.

[@dogleghobag]

I'm glad you're starting to heal. Some things take a long long time. I basically burned my whole life to the ground, gave up on all my old hobbies and completely changed my life after i broke up with a relationship of 7 years over 4 years ago and I still sometimes have dreams where we are still together and having a good time. I'm glad you were able to stay friends and that the worst of the pain has passed for you

[@leevihemmings707]

You’re amazing Nyma…. Thanks for sharing… so much. I got out a 6 year relationship and I felt like it was a freaking divorce tooo!! Now I’m so much in love with myself sooo much. ☺️ And the universe sent me someone so amazing, sweet, and honest out of nowhere when I was able to recover with the help of my friends. You are so strong for opening up and sharing your pain. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! The relatable story I felt so deeply.

[@daniellemoxey9940]

Awww Nyma thank you so much for you vulnerability!!❤️ It's a true reflection of your resilience in the midst of what you're still grieving, and that you realize if you're going through something it's likely that other's are too and may have similar difficulties in managing their mourning process!

I came on here expecting to send love and support to you and here you are giving loving words to me!! I struggle so much letting my friends in and telling them when I’m struggling. I’m going to come back to this video when I need to be reminded why it’s important.

[@elarianasky]

I was wondering why I never saw you at all last year! I don't think I've ever commented on your videos, but I came across this and what you said resonated with me, despite not being in the same circumstances. The pandemic opened my eyes to my relationship with my parents and had me learn more things about myself and them during that time and man. It was not fun. Not fun at all. But you're absolutely right that it's okay to accept your feelings but also tell that to whoever is listening. If something isn't cool with you, then it isn't cool with you and you're absolutely allowed to say so (obviously in a way that's nice and not condescending lol). Crying is so stigmatised in society today, it's always seen as being weak and things like that and sure, maybe in the moment it is weakening, but more often than not, after a good cry (and a good nap), people can feel rejuvenated and more alive after it. Being in that depressive funk totally sucks but it allows for reflection and growth and I think that's just really important. It's okay to cry. It's okay to feel a certain way about a certain situation. Just know, your feelings always will be valid, no matter what. Even if someone else disagrees, your feelings still matter. Never let anyone make you feel inferior for what you're feeling and certainly not without your consent.

Thank you so much for your vulnerability and your transparency. So many of us are forced to deal with these very normal bumps in life on our own and in silence, so to have folks speak openly about their emotions (especially as a Black woman) is so important. I am so glad you had people around you who held you in care and who gave you space to grieve, to cry, to laugh and to feel everything you feel. That is what community is.. that is what love is. That is what uplifting means. I am so happy you are finding yourself again and coming home to yourself. Sending you so much love and here’s to you and your next chapter and journey ! 🫶🏾

Thank you for sharing this. I had a tough break-up last year and I remain glad that I decided to walk away. We are not friends and I'm ok with that, too. I have learned that my life is better flying solo. I, too, retreat into myself when I'm having a tough time with life. I act like the total Cancer I am by staying in my shell and only coming out when I absolutely must. I will probably return to therapy at some point this year. I have never had a lot of friends, though I do have someone in whom I can confide without fear of judgment. I feel glad that you have such a friend in your life. You're young and learning how to show up for yourself. Never stop doing this work, it will serve you in ways you cannot comprehend.

Nyma, the ending words you put down really struck home--"If this video isn't a testament to growth and learning about yourself, I don't know what is. I'm really proud of myself." It's tough for a lot of us to let relationships (even good ones) go where they need to go and the healthy boundaries and the work you put in to yourself proves that it's worth it. I've been having a hard time communicating to a friend that I want to be there for them in a similar way to your friend with you and it's encouraging to see how friendship helped you in this time.

But it is because I AM vulnerable, and people have attacked my weaknesses in the past or abandoned me when most needed. I have learned to trust and be vulnerable with the RIGHT person.❤
