[@MiaCarter7]

I was really hyped up to believe that my 20's would be prime living. Now that I'm in my 20's, I realize I've never felt so alone, inadequite, and isolated as I do now. I just hate to grow older, look back on this time, and remember how depressed and unhappy I was the whole time. I hate to think that Ive wasted all this time. And I feel embarassed to express my feelings because I feel people see that as immature at my age.

[@reihannahherring8605]

Mia Carter I feel you 100% I’m at that stage rn and I’m 22

[@bryanna_renaee]

I watched a similar video about this by the channel Pursuit of Happiness, about this person who was always looking back into their past going "wow, I had it so much easier back then. Why was I so unhappy?", and the point of it all was to realize, you can still appreciate the moment right now, while you're in it, even if it is difficult and terrible, because then you're just going to turn 30 and look back at today saying "Why was I so unhappy? I was so young, things weren't that bad." You see it never stops. But you can still choose now, to realize that while its tough, you're going to get through it. You're going to miss being here.

[@cpriority1]

The 20's are a very important time in ones life. As an older person I would say embrace this period in your life. It is perfectly, imperfect. You are not supposed to have all the answers. Be honest and truthful about everything. Be kind to yourself because your brain is still developing. Be strong minded in creating your own vision for your life. Drown out the opinions of others. This can be difficult but not impossible. Its hard to really believe in your 20's that you will get older and that everything will work out. Stay clear about your goals. Whatever you need on this journey is available to you. Know that with the passage of time, you will continue to change and evolve. Your viewpoints and beliefs will always be changing. Few things remain fixed but that is the wonderful essence of life. The objective is not to get fearful or more controlling of life. Instead, one must seek to stay open to all of the possibilities. Stay connected with your inner intuition and let God guide you.

It's part of growing up, the best advice I can give you is don't let no one tell you who you are supposed to be, they aren't you, and they can tell you anything they want, but you are you and you need go through the road of life at your pace and with your dreams and aspirations in mind, not the dreams or aspirations of who surround you! 🥰 Sending you good vibes🥰

[@denyshadials5702]

Corne Branche Again, that’s just something we’ll disagree on. I will never say that any period of your life is about failure or learning things the hard way-though it happens all the time. However, figuring things out or learning how to change negatives into positives, sure that we can agree on. That’s a part of every period of life, it just feels more prominent in your 20s because you’re transitioning into handling that portion of life on your own. Part of being an adult is realizing that not having some sort of plan just isn’t wise in this country. *Especially in state that the world is currently in.* There are countless resources and connections in college and most are there for at least 4 years. Anyone would question how serious someone is about growing up if those resources aren’t adequately used by the time you graduate. I’m 28 and I’ve had friends that have graduated with no game plan that have had really hard lives. *But the hardest part of watching them live that way, is that it simply wasn’t necessary and they were/are capable of so much more.* Some are staring to get the hang of it and some, honestly, are *just stubborn.* If life happens fine, and I hope you make out alright. But I don’t ever enable *choosing* failure.

I hated my 20’s! I’m in my 40’s now and you couldn’t pay me to do that decade again. The 30’s are better, though trying. Once you make peace that you will be 40 and that’s okay then the late 30’s get exponentially better. All your friends who got married and had kids in there 20’s will be divorced or want to be divorced by their 30’s and them cute babies grow into little bad ass kids that you try to avoid! 30’s is when you learn nobody knows what their doing either!

As someone in there 40's sending you hugs, I will say my early 20's could have been better but im someone where my teens utterly sucked a$$. I would just say you don't have to have it all together and dont compare yourself to others there is nothing wrong with the pieces coming together in your 30s, it did 4 me and im actually better off than most of the ppl i thought were leaving me behind in my 20's...I loved my 30's had my 20 something body and a 30 something wallet best of both worlds 😉

[@cmac40]

@@TriumphantTiff good luck my pieces started to come together at 28,as far as your 40s alot seems to depend on how old your kids are ie friends that had kids in their late teens or 20's and they out the house they taking trips, going back 2 school etc, those of us that had them later are dealing with them but with more patience and resources, so im enjoying motherhood, being selfish when i can bc if im not happy my fam wont be, outside of having to actually having to pay attention to what i eat,exercising and my skin(it changes in your 40's) its pretty good 4 me..though u cant do stuff like go out til 3am on a weekday and think u can still go to work at 8 u will FEEL IT!

Yes, girl. 100%. My 20's were an emotional mess! I would say I noticed a mental (good) shift around the age of 25-26. I'm 27, going on 28. It's easy to compare yourself to others, I still find myself wondering about what the heck I'm doing. I lost my full time job due to COVID-19, and now I'm working at a grocery store at 27. However, I think it's important to remember that life doesn't have to revolve around numbers. Your perception, and quality of happiness in life is so much more important. As I'm inching towards the end of my 20s that's what I've learned.

Extended 20 something...it’s because you think you’re living until you reach your thirties. Life does something and you suddenly start to live on your own terms without all these external worries. Trips are different, outings are different, gatherings are different. I think it’s because it’s the time you really come into who you are and what and who you do not need. I laughed at the once you get to 27 everything from there up is considered 30. It’s so true. It’s almost a constant reminder that you’re knocking on that door and better get it together.

[@JermaineAuNatural]

As a 30 something, some of the “expectations” comes from parent and adults when you’re still in your early twenties. Expect nothing at 30,31 maybe even 32 but as you settle into your mid 30s, there is ALOT more “idc’s” and “does it really matter”. I am truly enjoying 30s. It’s easier to be like “ so what” or say No(without giving a reason) to a lot of stuff and really not care and leave the stress behind. You get better as you get older. I do agree tho, 27, 28 and 29 are basically 30😂😹🤣enjoy being 20s. Realize that other people’s expectations dont work for you, where you are and may want for yourself. Look ahead but still live in your current moment.

"Why are you like that, you should be more like me and believe and do everything i believe and your life should be going the exact same way as mine does so you can end up just like i do" is basically to sum up what most people say. But what if thats not what i want out of life? What if i want to be different, make something of myself, accomplish all the things i was told i would not accomplish, or have the type of life that other people may not like but i love? No one gets that right to tell me what i should and shouldnt be doing or how i should think and feel in my twenties.

Wow, I really needed this. I'm 26 and I have been searching for a channel like this as a young black women in her 20s going through a natural hair journey as well. But no one talks about the feelings we will or have had. No one speaks on the mental strength we have to WORK at to get through accepting our natural hair and our adulthood. IM SOO APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR VIDEOS!!! I'm now a subscriber and so happy to watch this channel grow. I'm a INFP and I find alot of similarities in our personalities. I wish I could be more outspoken about my inner thoughts, feelings and struggles. I'm so glad to have found someone who could put a voice to those. Thanks!. Please never stop!

[@abbyzhr8099]

I'm 21 y.o and I felt every single word you said in the video.. ❤❤

[@jadedjene8786]

You better express it, ma’am.

[@BabyBat14]

Girl, you should have a million subscribers, you are amazing. Your twenty something series is one of the few things that help me to not feel alone RN. I turned 21 in February and I'm already freaking out. I feel like I should be working harder, hustling more than I am... I see these kids at 18, 19, already paving their careers, and I just recently decided to quit the historian career to pursue music. I'm so lost. I feel guilty even for playing videogames on quarantine! But your reminders that we're not alone are what give me strengh. Thank you, Starpuppy, you're amazing

[@alxahh]

was comforting to hear someone voice exactly what I’ve been thinking and experiencing since I turned 20 last year lmfaoo😭

[@myrilunalee9999]

the socially constructed "blue print of age achievements" is soooo annoying - it's socially constructed and DEFINITELY is not an "apply to all" blue print....

[@godcaresjab]

Hi, Star puppy I'm here for you! I'm first to post yaaaaaaah, wow girl I'm 50 and feel all of what you're talking about...

[@avvondaparker4627]

Well, considering I'm in my 40s I can say my 20s were actually cool. I think I missed that 2nd puberty when I had my first kid at 18...😒 I do have a 25yo, a 19yo and a 16yo

[@debbydambani7040]

I 100% relate. I will be 23 in June and I am so scared. I thought I would by now have everything figured out but ...I have zero friends, and im super single. Im so numb but I feel everything.

[@sarayen4427]

Debby Dambani Im also 22. Sadly, I have fake friends and I’m single too..... I don’t have it all together but I’m glad I’m not alone In feeling this.

[@sophiasmith8487]

It's like having a comforting friend, a shoulder to lean on

[@bryanna_renaee]

These 20s videos are all too relatable. I graduated, took an internship in California and while my friends were saying how amazing it all was, I have never felt more lonely in my entire life. It was my first full time grown up job and I had to learn ton commute every day, shop alone, go and be just everywhere alone. It’s been so difficult. I’m still out here now in a sublet while COViD is going on and I have never felt so directionless in my entire life.

[@erinnafriederick7340]

Youve got no idea how much i needed this. You touched parts of my soul that felt so lost and i thank you for that

[@ubettersing644]

I thought that hitting 50 my life would be in control! HA!!! You will be having the same conversation with your Self 30 something years from now! And that’s a GREAT thing!!! I relate to EVERYTHING you’re saying as a 51 year old singer, actress, educator, Ph.D student, wife, sister, natural hair guru, and Lyme Disease survivor. (Talk about a change in the SINGING voice after surviving Lyme disease. OMG! HAHAHAHA!!! You’re awesome, Danielle! Keep up the great work! YOU ROCK! You help to keep me going when I am feeling overwhelmed. Thank you “twenty something!”

[@trayeivey96]

GURL I'm 43 and I'm STILL FEELING ALL OF THIS

[@edvh88]

IKR? I’m imagining when I hit my 70s or 80s I’ll still be a basket case... 😓😂

[@Kiki_Get_Geekie]

You may hate your voice but my 4 month old really likes it lol she’s going crazy over here 😂💛

[@edvh88]

I love her voice too! Really melodic.

[@luvburden5743]

while you was explaing the age gaps, "the lorax movie" by dr. Seuss came to mind.. Like many of us are dealing with this brainwashed standard,.. for this "perfect" world ,..and "perfect" society but in reality.. we are not perfect at all, this society or 20's age gaps are unnatural. (My opinion) ive learned a person can learn from another person any age.. I was a daycare teacher for 2 years old. They taught me so much,..particularly, how life is cherishable..to focus on living.. doing the best you can,no matter how many mistakes you make or have made...so many things I have to UN-LEARN for my mental/emotional health. I dont focus on my age anymore. I focus more on accomplishing my goals regardless of my age. Its less stress for me that way.

[@RakiyasRoots]

Luv Burden omg I worked at a daycare too and I have adopted this mentality. Live, laugh, love!

Two months shy of 26, and this hit so close to home. Thank you so much for the part of the video where you reassured us that we are not alone...had me crying unloading the dishwasher...

I just feel like I'm watching my life speed away from me sometimes

I'm only 20, turning 21 this year and I'm already terrified and ready to jump off of a roof :')

[@itschubabyy]

This whole video spoke to me. I’m turning 21 in June and I feel that impending doom every 👏🏾 single 👏🏾 day 👏🏾 I just always feel like I’m not doing enough but I try to remember that I have to move at my own pace. It isn’t a competition 😪

[@abinyxx]

Idk what it is about you, you're just fantastic. Your aura is so warm and bright.

[@marie9219]

I'm 28 and so far my 20s have been interesting. I'm a mommy and wife and I love the way mine have been going so far with all its ups and downs. I am going to appreciate these last two years of my 20s much more😊

[@hanaalexander2177]

The bit about the age boxes, really got me. I just turned 25 this month so that hit my soul.

[@chichibonita]

30 is the same way girl! Just be the best you that you can be!!! ❤️😍 don’t let the pressures of this fake world take u down! ❤️ it’s so strong when I see you discussing this stuff! You are amazing!!

Girl yassss 💖♓ the struggles. The growth. The self acceptance. 💖♓✌️

[@Soulfullymae]

🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Right here ! I feel you my life is a whirl wind right now !! The puberty thing is REAL ! I NEVER had acne now all of a sudden I have acne. In my freaking 20s it's crazy 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@DeBellanadi]

I’m 25 and remember when I turned 20 and 21 😂 I hate it cause people that are 21-20 are shocked that I’m 25 😑..... yea cause I still feel and look 20 -21 ! The age box is real

[@mialaluna3792]

when you said "are you in a library right now" I almost lost it cuz I am in a library right now lol

[@yolandajennings9140]

My twenties are one big blur! There was so much going on, I got married at 24(happily divorced now), and life was so hard! Thirties were a lot better and now I’m in my forties and they’re grrrrrreat!!!

[@goldieobasi5373]

You learn how resilient you can be...and how easy/expensive cars are to fix and maintain!

[@bookwormdownunder]

I turning 29 soon, this decade has been the making of me honestly, you'll learn and grow so much and you will achieve some of your dream and find happiness x x It's hard work but you'll get there!!

[@diannajohnson-ward414]

At 26 and a half I just want you to know I feel seen by this video. The “age boxes” portion is so spot on, I’m coming up on 27 and EYE am expecting to be taking completely seriously and to have my life together. When I know damn well I’m still growing and that’s OKAY. But it doesn’t always *feel* okay

[@theadrenalizedartist6843]

Embrace the changes...each decade your body changes and so does your voice. My advice: enjoy your youth. I felt alone in my 20s. Live it up some by doing what you love. I am now 49. There is so much I did not know in my 20s. Love this channel

[@popojojololo]

2:50 damn I felt that my 20s were a mess but I learned to move on and focus on myself and not how I look to others and that helped me be the person I am now... I hope my experience can help whoever reading this. Know this, your not alone! true that people look like they have a good life but that just for show just like what we show others about our selves we can never know what struggles they are facing and vice versa. Life is tough but it's okay you need to get your own back and be your biggest cheerleader first! good luck ! ✊✨

[@analyseadams9654]

OMG! DANIELLE YOU HIT THE NAIL IN THE HEAD! I'm turning 27 and for some reason I feel like "dang, I'm adult now." Even at 25 I didn't feel much different than from when I was 19.

[@kaym6086]

Turning 25 in 2 days and I'm feeling this vid. I had my quarter-life crisis this past year. 9:45 sounds like you're going through it too.
