things i wish i knew during my teenage years

so yes this is a part 2 to another video i made in the past. i could honestly make this into a series if you guys wanna see one. but yeah these were just things i wish my little self would've known. tbh i don't actually remember if anyone actually told me these things before. i don't think anyone did lol. i mean it would be kinda weird to just suddenly have any adult give you these major life lessons. or would it? idk. ok now i'm just thought dumping. i do sometimes think if whether i'll still be the same person as today if someone told me these things when i was younger... hm. i guess we'll never know.
but i really hope this video was helpful to you guys. i also hope i didn't repeat anything from my last video lol. like yeahhhh i could rewatch it but i literally will cringe myself out LMAO so imma pass. anyways i will see you all next week! love yaaa

There’s a quote that I read that really sticks with me “No matter who you are or what you do, there will always be someone who doesn’t like you but at the same time, there will always be someone for you.” As a people’s pleasure, this helps remind me not to go overboard as not everyone is going to like me

Via,can you make a video about comfort zone? Like I am curious about how you got used to going to the gym or how you continue things when you are anxious instead of just giving up. Love ya

taking in personalities is so real bc i used to imitate my fav youtubers so often it felt uncanny

[@itan._]

Itadori?? what are you doing here?!!

[@valkyriejournal]

I love this kind of videos because it kinda helps to heal old wounds. I’m 25 now but some things from my teenage years haunt me to this day. And hearing someone sharing their experience being the same as mine is… refreshing? Helps to think “wow so that’s normal and nothing to be ashamed of!” So thank you very much. ♥️

[@Koi_light]

Same!!!

[@Mari_Chae]

As a 14 yr Old you started to change my mental mindset to love myself more! Thank you Via!

[@asapbaby9275]

You made me understand something that was so simple and obvious, but because of a person's tendency to do things or be something "expected" in different departments of life, we completely forgot that we're only human. It's as if mistakes aren't even possible. Being a teenager is like a baby opening their eyes for the first time in the "real world" where changes are constant and we don't notice we are part of it. I'm so glad i discovered you Via, your awareness and down-to-earth personality touched me.

[@sighsai2804]

PLEASE make this into a series!! I love watching your videos whenever im journaling or doing my skincare because it feels like im listening to an old friend giving an advice whenever im tired or just done with life

[@Koi_light]

I agree!!!

[@imfiy_]

just 13 minute of via feels like 5 minute... I might need a longer version just to hear her talk♡︎ (she makes me laugh and it feels like someone is finally talking to me personally)

[@Koi_light]

Same 😂

[@solidsnakefovever]

I found via a couple years ago with her "I have no fiends" short / reel / tiktok and I'm really happy to see her learning the same things I have in my own journey through life. From what I'm hearing I think she must be doing better and the future looks bright.

[@a.sdutchman]

I love these part 2 updates to your past videos. It shows how much you grew 💛

[@ParulTiwari-fb2kq]

So, I am starting my college this august and honestly I am so anxious about it cause yk it's a huge change for me school to college, so my older sister advised this one thing she said "I know you'll manage the studies but the most imp advice I can give you is that make friends wisely" And that is stuck with me and for me I feel grateful because you have actually changed me a lot (in a good way) Thanks via, I adore you 💗🌷

[@iona8973]

hi via! this video was posted with such immaculate timing. something happened between me and my girl bsf and i thought we would have a falling out because of it. thus, i gave her the silent treatment and made everything super uncomfortable between us. but when i was watching this video it really reminded me of the importance of communication and the fact that i am well overdue an explanation for her. thank u so much for this, it really gave me the strength to talk to her again.

[@poncisdw3692]

I'm a teenage girl and I relate a lot to the subjects you talk about in your videos. Especially the fact that we all try to fit in when we are young and the feeling of guilt and fear that comes when you do anything. Sometimes you feel as if everything you do is wrong or like you could've done it differently. You also feel lost because you don't have a strong sense of identity yet. In the end, there is no right way of doing things, you just experiment them. The thing that helped me the most was figuring who I was, by fiding what I liked to do, what was truly important to me (friendships, family, hobbies etc...) and putting less pressure on myself, I'm still young. I already figured out by myself some of the things you mentioned and that makes me happy.
