[@ArsonisticElmo]

It's always refreshing to see people excited about their 30s rather than dreading it. Almost everyone I know in their 30s says they enjoy life more than they did in their 20s. I have yet to see how I feel about it, but I look forward to it. 20s is such a chaotic decade.

[@tapiocapress]

That’s so reassuring to know! It’s hard to get excited about 30s b/c we see so many 20 somethings romanticizing their lives, not so much 30 somethings (for various reasons). but, I’m looking forward to the new decade, and excited to bring you guys along on the journey ahead ✨

I agree ☝️ because life is a journey each decade of life is special ❤😊30’s is awesome 👏.The more older the more wiser decision making what’s more important is to do what makes you happy 😊 know yourself what you like and don’t like 👍.healthy lifestyles makes a huge impact while taking care of yourself as you get older .Good hobbies can be a positive impact such as reading 📖 art 🖼️ music 🎵 and your right be patient with yourself and know that you will get better over time a skill.

"In my thirties I want to live out of love, not out of fear" Wow, such a powerfull lesson. Thank you so much for this video. I´m 25, graduated last year and I´m doing pretty well but not "as well as I should" as expected by parents and what not. Also my first relationship that lasted 2,5 years just ended back in may and I´ve been thinking a lot about the things I really want for my life, and what is more of internalized expectations than actual desires of mine, so I really connected to your message :)

[@sadcowgirl___]

We all need to embrace and accept alternative life styles. I've been studying for 10 years until recently and now I'm starting my frist "real" job, at 32. I just wanted to take my time and do other things besides studying and working. I'm fine with it. I also won't be making lots of money with that job, but it's a job with a meaning. I've got friends working in marketing, making heaps of money, but when they tell me they are yelled at by old men and working overtime constantly, I know for certain that I want to pass on it.

I believe that internships are great they give a taste of what a job is without an obligation to stay

[@bigskib]

Turning 29 in a month, my late 20's have been so much better to me than early 20's. I think so much of the outlook a person has on life is shaped by how long they've been around. The longer you live, the easier it is to see what matters and what doesn't. I think perseverance is a muscle we train through experience only, each time you get through something terrible is a testament that you can survive bad things. I'm fortunate to have pulled myself out of the gutter time and time again, and I hope for my 30's and yours we both thrive. ❤

When you get past age 25 and don't have a partner or kids and you're like.... fine? I decided recently after 27 that I don't think I'm going to get married or have kids. Not because I'm giving up something I can't obtain, but because it's something I've never gotten much fulfillment from chasing.

[@Maxmywealth]

I am 20 years old and felt really down lost and confused during last year, even considering quitting my life, so really thanks for the beginning of the video, which attracted me to complete watching. The problem is believing life is as bad as the anxiety feels, I think I should remember this forever.

Anxiety is a signal that tells us hey, there's something you need to pay attention to instead of just going straight believing that it's the end of the world.

I’ve felt so overwhelmed with having to grow up so fast and suddenly but I appreciate you sharing this and reading the comments I’m glad to hear all these people relating to the same things as me.

[@ish5815]

this video came in my recommended at a very needed time. i just received a rejection letter from a graduate program i had been working hard towards for the better part of a year and half, even going as far as getting a work study within the department. so as can be imagined, the rejection really swept the rug out from under my feet. i thought i had my entire life, or at the very, very least my 20s, planned out ahead of me and all i had to do was… do it. now, im feeling lost but less of wondering what can i do, im trying to figure out what do i like to do and finding new passions and taking risks i wouldn’t have allowed myself otherwise. thank you for this video, it looks like i still have a lot to look forward to at 23 and beyond, despite what it feels like.

Happy belated birthday! 🎉 I wanted to start a YT channel since I’m 21. Finally doing it now that I’m 33! 😅 never too late to chase our dreams!

[@tapiocapress]

It’s never too late✨

[@Rootschannel]

I can relate (kind of..) wanted to start YT channel since my early 20's, I started when I was in law school, but then got bullied quite harshly from my classmates. Now I'm 33 and I still want to create, but I'm still scared. I guess I got traumatized. But I'm so happy that it worked for you!! Maybe one day I will leap over my fear and traumas and give it another go.

[@moikistudio]

@@Rootschannel I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been through. Sometimes I feel that if the people around me watch what I create, they’ll ridicule me. So, I seldom talk about my channel publicly on social media. 🙈 But at the same time, I am also learning to not let what they might say about me stop me. I try not to define myself oh my creation with how they react. If they don’t like it, it’s not meant for them. One encouraging thought that helped me is, the sooner I be myself, the sooner I’ll find my tribe. And so will you! 😊 I hope that one day I can be a witness of your leap of faith! Cheering you on! 💛

Is never late to start making videos, recording or documenting yourself. Post it on KZbin or not: enjoy the process. I'm currently in my own 20s, and I feel like instead of worry about life: Embrace it, the fact I'll age every year time will never stops. I'm honest, I don't want to work nor study in higher education, but to sustain myself rn I still have to do something to earn the money. This video reminds of those, which I already watched. Thank you for making this video Evelyn, wish you a lovely summer

First of all, happy birthday Evelyn! You're my favorite KZbinr. Week after week, I eagerly await each of your videos. Your words are always a breath of fresh air to me. In 3 months, I'll be turning 29, and like every young adult approaching 30, I've been feeling exactly as you describe. Anxiety has been my biggest challenge since leaving my job a few months ago, and I've been trying to channel that somewhat negative energy into studying and doing things I love but haven't done in a long time. Thank you for your kind and lovely words. You're simply the best.

[@tapiocapress]

ahh thank you Diogo…that means so much🥺 I know your feeling so well. My late twenties was the toughest - that feeling that I’m behind and running out of time, before I swam through the sea of anxiety and realized that…I’m exactly where I need to be. You are too🌷 just keep swimming:)

I’m turning 25 in a month and can’t help but feel ‘’behind’’ in life. I haven’t gone to college because getting into debt when no majors felt right for me wasn’t something I wanted. I’ve been in childcare for years now and though I love it, i can’t live comfortably on the pay. I don’t know what the next step for me is and I’m terrified. Your video reminded me sometimes all it takes is to try something small you feel called to to lead I’m the right direction. Thank you for making my quarter life crisis a little more bearable ❤ it’s comforting all humans experience so many of the same fears and thoughts

The ending especially of you at the skating rink is such a great parallel to the lessons that you wanted to communicate to us through this video - the "I feel like I'm getting the hang of this" applies to your growth journey but also you on your roller skates!!

[@mikanuutinen2264]

Going to turn 26 soon. I have a girlfriend (hopefully future wifey), have a job at a university and I got accepted into an engineering masters program. Yet, I feel so behind. I feel like so many of my peers have children, a house of their own and have had these awesome adventures with their friends. I'm constantly scared and anxious of how my future will look like and/or have I already "missed the train". Im doing things out of fear of being left behind, yet the more I do, the more I feel left behind. Fuck, it's just an endless cycle. I achieve something that I should be proud of but it doesn't feel like that. Its a brief relief until I'm worried about the next thing and once again I forget to live.

Oh damn ... Evelyn this video is suuuper relatable to me right now. I didn't quit my job, rather, I was laid off at the end of last year ... while I was on holiday mind you ... but it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me because it kickstarted my desire to finally start my business, and now I build apps & websites fulltime! Which is awesome .. but I'm going through some of the same stuff as you did like, yeah ... watching other people get new jobs, get married or get promoted .. and I don't have any of that, but I always like to tell myself "I don't have it... YET" ... and it motivates me to keep going with what I'm doing and stick it out for the long haul. Seeing your video motivates me a lot as well and it's nice to know that we aren't alone in our journey!

[@stefaniella]

i am also turning 30 in a few months and i had this dreading feeling for some time. but there was a switch in my mindset (somehow) this year. maybe because of the inspirational creators i found here on youtube? maybe because i found this channel which inspired me to also open my thoughts and reflections, maybe because of the people who are in their 30s and hearing that it just gets better. so im looking forward to what life has to offer. to all of us entering our 30s this year, happiest birthday everyone! sending hugs!

At the beginning of the year I was going through a really rough patch where I didn't have work and was going through a depressive episode locked down in my house. I couldn't take care of myself properly, I was struggling to even feed myself, and then I found your videos...I binge watched them all and then did it again. They were a reason to get up in the morning and prepare something to eat; I loved especially the food vlogs because I felt you were there with me. The food I could prepare I would prepare with care and love because I was mimicking you somehow, plus I also got to learn about a China that only you could show me. I see parts of myself in you and we are so far away from experiences, but are the same simultaneously (? I'm from a little coastal town in Venezuela, and attending college abroad was never in the horizon for me(? but you did all the american dream stuff and had enough courage to quit it all to follow your gut, like wow...at the same time I think that working all those years in tech gave you something so valuable than most people around me don't get to have access to, somehow you have passed that knowledge onto me and made realize that I could take myself seriously with my projects that the skills were there for me to reach, you made me dream that I could do so much better for myself! anyways I am really grateful that your videos found me, I am also getting close to 30, and you give me so much hope

It is true what you said, I don't want to live in fear anymore, I want to live in love and do things out of love. I am in mid 20's and just recently realized that I've been doing things out of fear, I thought I was doing them out of purpose, excellence and love but turns out it's not.

Oh I loved the intro, it made me chuckle! :) so much of what you said resonates with me and what I felt/feel on my journey, especially as I’ve realised I need to revisit working on some of my anxiety. Keep on doing what you’re doing and congrats on 60K!! ❤🎉

I’m turning 20 this year. Currently at uni and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do after uni. Don’t even know if this is the degree I should be doing and I feel like I’ve made many mistakes. Apart of me is scared to grow up and take on new responsibilities but the other part is curious to see where life will take me. I’m happy to hear that this is normal to feel and that I can change.

I think we're super similar because it feels like this video was made for me. LOL It's saved into my "Life Changing" playlist just because every section of the video felt like I needed to hear it. The biggest kicker for me is when you said that you wish you could tell your 20 year old self, "I got you! You can be free to go for what you love, I have your back!!" I feel like...that's what I wish and want to do for myself - I want to trust myself and give myself permission to go for what is important to me. I'm 26 right now and still figuring out career; haven't moved out of the house yet, and feel like I'm at the brink of dedicating hella years and money to striving for a career in tech. But your video is reminding me to be more mindful about MY journey and what matters most to me. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video and sharing your wisdom. I will seriously be returning to it.
