stop hiding & start doing things (feeling lost in your twenties)

[@quokka2726]

i heard this thing that said to have three constant things in your life, no matter what age you are: something that trains you physically (gym/sport/yoga etc), something that trains your brain (for example don't stop learning even after finishing higher education), and something that allows you to relax and have fun!

[@sophierosam]

I'm going to live by this forever now omg thank you for sharing❤

[@imadmed-kj4ud]

omg i'm in the same mindset as you i'm 22yo and i feel like i've been living on autopilot mode for 5years basically just studying in college or else i'm in my room to rest ; i rarely made memories or met new people nor learned new hobbies or anything ... but its been a few months that i've had this "wake up moment" and i'm still trying to figuring it out and taking small steps towards what i want to be/have in my twenties. cool video ❤ keep these coming !

[@sophierosam]

ahh!! we are in this together

[@mvuyiso_buyana]

Same always at uni or in my room, it's only now recently I forced myself to make plans and save money for those plans lmao

[@sadafs6632]

SAME !!!!!

[@marianazzz1]

wow didn’t know someone felt the exact same way as me

[@SincerelyGwendolyn]

SAMEEEE

[@spookyfairie]

You're not alone in this! I'm 23, turning 24 this september, and ever since being in my grad year of uni, i've realized that i'm scared to take action in achieving my dreams because i'm scared of failing and i'm comparing myself to my (seemingly) more successful peers. I'm constantly scared that i'm ''too late'' or that i'm ''running behind everyone else'' (which makes no sense because everyone has their own life and their own path/journey)

[@ErinPurcell.design]

When I was 23 I was in the exact same space. In a bit of a desperate way I bought a ticket to travel abroad with a group of young people doing the same thing. It was the best thing i ever did. The sooner you make moves the better. ❤ You truly do have the power to make the change you want to see. Be scared and go!

[@callmeluis555]

this really resonated. i feel like especially during the summer i do the same stuff every single day and it drains me knowing im wasting time. your voice is so soothing

[@sophierosam]

aw thank you! It's such a weird thing like I don't know whether to say sorry you are feeling the same or whether that's a good thing hahah, at least we are self aware I feel like that's the biggest step to actually realise and then we can decide what we want to do from there, we are in control of our lives🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@Witch.of.the.bog.]

I live by the quote "Only leave for tomorrow what you're willing to die having left undone"

[@AnaSerroGomes]

I never read something that described so precisely my life right now as the phrases on the beggining of this video. I feel like I'm trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and ambition that paralyses me and makes it too scary to figure out where to start... feels good to see we're not alone

[@SuperAce780]

same here!!!

[@eznedeak]

I'm about to turn 20 tomorrow. This video resonated with me because I am scared to do a lot of things. My mind is constantly racing with things I want to do and get better at, but I am so comfortable where I am now that I don't want to do anything about it. Videos like these give me that bit of motivation to get started. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Keep going. Bless your beautiful soul

[@rosieannemarie]

so good to see someone in the same sort of head space as me. you're such an inspiration and i wish you all the best

[@sophierosam]

ah thank you so much, sometimes it can feel like you're the only one feeling like this so I'm glad others can resonate, much love!!

[@allisavenues]

I’m 29 & I feel the same. Your video made me feel normal and seen, thank you!

[@vale4364]

i relate so much to you, especially the "not being out there" part and the "fear of starting things i'm not already good at" part, i love that there's more people wanting to change their life little by little, makes me feel lees alone and less crazy lol

[@kew884]

this gives me so much hope. it rly sucks wanting to connect with others and have fun experiences, but constantly being held back by social anxiety and fear of judgement. but we can do it! :)

[@analisaogari9149]

Hi! I'm not sure if you've ever heard about the book 'Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway' by Susan Jeffers. It helps you identify what is holding you back and provides steps to overcome it. It motivated one of my friends to do her first solo trip. Hope this helps :)

[@sophierosam]

Ah thank you so much for sharing I'm going to get this book now!!❤❤

[@SHAE141]

read you're a badass by Jen Sincero.

[@sophieb12325]

this resonated with me so much. 23 and after being in and out of hospital with an ED since 17 I've essentially been in hibernation/survival mode for so long that my life has become tiny and what used to seem like a comfort zone is actually now seeming quite claustrophobic and keeping me from doing anything with my life. I'm so tired of letting fear and doubt and insecurity stop me from trying. We're here to live. And i have not been living. We've got this. I believe in you and think showing up for yourself in this way is so valuable and the best gift you can give yourself. You're worth investing in. All the love xx

[@haannaahh]

I’m getting out of my comfort zone and meeting someone new today. This video came up on my home page and I found it so comforting. Thank you 🩷

[@nataliechen382]

I’m 23 and going through the same thing! Really glad I found your video, sending love and light🤍✨

[@maynardrams]

What a relatable video! As someone in their 30s, I can say that feeling like you're on autopilot in your 20s is completely normal. Life is full of mundane and unextraordinary moments, but they are beautiful nonetheless because you are in them. Embrace these moments and know that life does get better along the way. Keep going, you've got this! New subscriber here! 🫶🏼

[@victoriadandrea3850]

I feel this so much. After watching this I feel so inspired and I also want to be your friend. I love your style, the dark bob, cargos with sambas, sitting at the window of a coffee shop - such a cute look! Subscribing rn

[@sophierosam]

aw thank you so much!!!

[@yes_eu_can]

This was MUCH needed, I just finished watching this in full. I'm in my 30s + really need to get my adventures going!

[@evelynarquette]

I’m a kiwi who just this year moved to the EU. I’m 29, and couldn’t do it the first time because COVID locked everything down and then got into a rhythm of day to day in a job etc. I just wanted to comment because it’s truly never, ever too late to do the big move, to change your life, to work towards something greater than you’ve experienced before. Save some money if you can as it removes the stress of travelling broke (Have done that too! Much prefer not stressing about having to change bad accomodation, or double book myself etc). Be kind to yourself, you are so so incredibly young, and have so many opportunities ahead of you!

[@adele1996]

So relateable! Thank you for being honest! I took a big leap a few months ago because I was desperate for change and growth. And i finally did it! Got accepted to an elite Master program in Amsterdam. Change and growth is possible, we just need to start. Small steps everyday will put you in big positions in life!❤❤❤ you got this!!!!!

[@sophierosam]

wow I am so proud of you that is amazing and inspiring to me!!

[@honeydewpops]

been feeling the same way and hearing this was extremely comforting. thank you ❤

[@jlseune]

This video came up on my recommended and it came at a perfect time. It’s exactly how I feel right now. I’ve been staying at home ever since I dropped out of college. Every day feels the same and it got boring at one point. I think I just need to give myself that push to do things because who else is going to do it for me? I’m so glad I came across this video. Hopefully this motivates me to do the things I’m afraid of doing. ❤️

[@noihirsch]

I'm 22 and I'm going throught the same thing, so I found your video extremely motivational, thank you!!

[@nataliiatotka]

This is so nice. The title got me. I’m currently extremely anxious, cause I’m running a marathon in a couple of hours and I still feel cringe doing things alone…even though I’ve been doing things by myself for a long long time. And I currently got rid of almost all toxic people from my life, somehow those were all my friends 😅 and it’s a bit hard when you don’t have like minded people around you 😢

[@Jiminsboost]

Thank you for sharing this video and also yes being in your 20s sometimes we do feel lost or even lonely cause we are navigating life basically on our own. But getting out of our comfort zone is a start.

[@JosieArchives]

i love this, and girl i feel you! keep your head up we'll figure it out

[@AlphaMaryDelta]

This video came up on my FYP at the right time! Thanks girl ❤

[@breannagabbidon1022]

I truly wish your words will not return to you void and your aspirations will manifest in the most auspicious ways imaginable. Sending love & hope!🙏🏽❤️

[@sacha5446]

You’re so cute! You remind me of me a lot (I’m 26) we got this! Sending you blessings and good vibes 🩷🩷🩷

[@Mia-sb1bb]

i'm turning 20 in about a month and i have also been isolating myself for so long. i always envisaged how my life would go and it hasn't gone that way which has lead to a lot of sadness and self resentment. that ends now. thank you for this video

[@imaxinesimone]

this is honestly what i've been feeling for the past month already. i never know when and how to start. i get so scared with pushing myself out my comfort zone because i fear change

[@sjkalice]

ahm hi, sadly I feel quite the same now that im almost on my twenties. Sometimes I go for a walk in Lisbon, where I live, and feel a bit better seeing the amount of diferent people that lives day by day diferently. Maybe I recommend you to visit Portugal, like why not. I still find calm and inspiration to do art sometimes, you cant get tired of here :]

[@Usrr1111]

Ur voice is so soothing makes me feel peaceful somehow, thanks for this video

[@CYND3RGIRL]

the part with talking out to someone about said things that were stuck up inside the head and you finally clear up to them and got the courage to tell them about your stuff - either they talk down, talk nicely or whatevers but its all the same -i stop doing it, thats why i dont want to talk about stuff like that with anyone else anymore..

[@dugumumu]

I had my drivers ed teacher told me that he sees "so much in me but" I've put myself into a box. I don't want to step out of my box it's safe and comfortable. But I know I need to change life is so boring. He says that getting your driver's license is going to open so many doors. Although I haven't experience that just yet give me a few more weeks and maybe I'll hit the road alone.

[@SleepySlophie]

You are so brave for making the decision to put yourself out there! It’s such a hard step, and it’s so scary, but you sound like you’re really starting to feel free. So happy for you 🫶🫶🫶

[@habibaemad5136]

I feel so related , loved the whole thing ❤

[@dreamvillian6964]

Girl im so proud of you!! im on the same journey (from London too) as you and im trying to push myself and try new things! just know arent alone

[@sophierosam]

ahhh we got this!

[@terena_world]

loved all these shots, i love your storytelling!

[@corawatters3817]

this is awesome I truly appreciate you this is exactly how I and so many people feel its great to see you take initiative and approach it head on

[@triz.albuquerque]

I’m feeling the same, I’ve been sticking to the gym and diet but I rarely go out. I moved to the biggest city in my country with the intention to enjoy it but now that I’m here I feel scared to try new things, specially by myself.

[@happya1462]

I can understand why you are feeling scared, that's completely valid and okay! But I think you shouldn't allow yourself to become comfortable with that feeling, so the first step is to just try, take yourself out into the new city. It's an incredible opportunity to welcome new experiences and potentially connect with people but of course the beginning is going to be hard, embrace it, don't limit yourself and at least try because without trying comes regret and the never knowing. When you do try, hopefully it works out and if not at least you know that you did and that will give you peace of mind.

[@marydavis2312]

its...strange seeing how I feel so alone/lonely feeling like this yet sooo many of us are feeling the same way. My life is not stagnant, and Im trying my best each day, but somehow despite knowing what I want to accomplish, I feel a sense of being lost. I don't know who I am anymore, and I dont know how that happened.... I'm just 20 and my whole teens I was living my best days (in hindisght) and I knew myself, I'm not sure how this situation came to be, I'm just hoping to be out of it soon

[@sophierosam]

we're in this together ❤ I feel that sometimes even just knowing, being self aware and being able to reflect is big enough in itself to start moving on, it's always a journey finding who we are and is so ever-changing, someone I went to primary school with once said to me 'you've changed' but they meant it in a bad way and I was thinking well I really hope I have changed because I want to constantly evolve and be a better person. Sending you love!

[@vnillacndle]

loveddd this!! i've been in the same mood and i'm excited to try new things as well as scared. and money being a limit of course. but i'll get to do something nice soon :) btw i loved the idea of the list before x age! it's always yearly but that way feels better

[@namaah554]

Hi, thank you for posting this, it felt so comforting to watch !

[@GabriellaSitarra]

I feel like i was meant to see this, I’ve been wanting to pursue youtube so much but i have no ideas and want to post content i feel proud of

[@sophierosam]

I felt the same way until I just started posting in January, and to be honest I almost didn't post this video which is crazy because it's the one that's done the best so far for me, so you just never know !!

[@Jdhaoap]

The film is soo beautifully edited ❤ Colors and light are magic !!!

[@marvinyounice]

[@sophierosam]

we've got this!!!

[@blaykewolf]

I loooove the coziness of this video ! It felt safe 🤭

[@anonangel1938]

It’s funny cuz although I’d see all these people in the same/similar point in their lives as me where they feel a bit lost and what not I’d still feel as if I’m the only one and kinda like a loser sorta…but then when i step back and slow down and observe…I realize how self absorbed I am and in my head I was that I failed to notice “BITXH there are literally ppl that can relate to you so much!!! You’re not alone 🤦🏻‍♀️😫it’s ok you’re not a loser, but fine if you wanna say that…then you’re not the only loser (not in a bad way)” idk it’s comforting and helps me get out that slump 🙂🌅

[@sophierosam]

Aw thank you so much that means a lot, sometimes I get nervous sharing these things but it's nice to know there are other people who can relate! I get my photos from Pinterest then use canva for my vision boards, I usually like to make mine as my phone background so I search up phone wallpaper templates to get the right size and then just add my pics on there:)

[@pnkbee]

this video spoke to me ❤

[@kszesiu7]

Remember the text below: That's actually so true. Once you keep your plans to yourself, everything you planned and manifested seems to come along way easier and clearer than if you say it to someone. It seems like you somehow create this obligation and then overthink about your possible failure. I guess that's how it feels sometimes. Anyways, good luck. Move to Edinburgh - the air is much cleaner."
