Happy holidays, Moya! I love watching your vlogs & your vlogs comfort me sm 🥺💓

[@anastasiaa_sl]

I feel literally the same since late October and I can’t find a way out. Being on your early 20s in a pandemic is so hard mentally

[@moyamawhinney]

dude send help like what are we to do 😭 lots of loove

[@Userrrrrrr789]

It’s important in life sometimes to “just be.” There are seasons of life you have to not have a sense of direction. These are reminders for you to slow down and prepare you for the next direction you’ll take. As good as productivity is, productivity as a mindset can often rob you of joy and make you feel as though your existence is something you have to constantly maintain or earn. When we’re on our deathbeds, nobody thinks about productive days they had, they think of their family, friends, art they’ve experienced, nature they’ve been in, etc. Maybe this season of life is teaching you to find comfort in and wonderment in BEING, as opposed to “getting things done.” Hope that made sense!

[@AmandaLeilani]

^^^THIS. Productivity is a scam that makes us feel like we need to constantly be doing something in order to work in a capitalist society. Rest is thus political and we need to spend more time just ~being ~. I've felt the same as Moya this past year but there is something so freeing when you let go of 'productivity' and allow yourself to move with the ebbs and flows of life. You still get shit done without the imagined pressure you put onto yourself, and you remember to breathe a lot more and take it all in. We forget that we're still in a pandemic.

[@verazn56]

I feel the exact same way about growing as a person this year Moya, I feel like I squeezed so much positive attitude/mentality/self-discipline last year to have something to go through the worst worldwide situation we've ever faced that I just exhausted myself.. I feel like we always grow in some way tho, even if it is just acknowledging that we didn't grow as much as the year before or learning to self-analyse ourselves to get better every time. It just takes time and the right moment sometimes! Let's stay strong and be here for each other! Merry Christmas everyone and here's to a happy healthy growing filled year in 2022

[@chaaaargh]

needed to read this haha, wishing u and everyone else going through something similar the best

[@alicetaylor9016]

I felt exactly the same after graduation! Your life is shaped by schooling for so long it is natural to feel adrift while you find your feet without that structure to fall back on. Sometimes the most growth comes from a stagnant period, positive energy needs rest! I love your videos, they are so calm and grounding. Sending love for 2022 xxx

[@notyourblondewitch]

Your job here is amazing, please don't ever stop making vlogs. I discovered your channel at the beginning of this year, at a time during which I was feeling scared, depressed and lacking motivation and your vlogs passed me the right vibe to get my life together again. Thanks and merry Christmas

[@Shreddhaa]

It really is so difficult to navigate post-grad life and find a new routine but YOU'VE GOT THIS! Thank you for always being so open and honest with us. Wishing you the best for the rest of this year as well as the new year ❤️

[@hanlee9598]

thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your thoughts moya:) i can totally relate to feeling of disappointment+imposter syndrome

[@moyamawhinney]

🥺😭 big virtual hugs through the screen

[@Elenalovesx05]

moving to a new city and navigating post grad is something to really be proud of! i felt similarly when i graduated college in december 2019 and moved to nyc right before the pandemic. when you look back in a few years, you will be proud! it just feels hard in the moment

[@HeroicMermaids98]

Moya I hope you’re feeling okay but it’s almost refreshing to see that “that girl” is not that girl 100% of the time and we luv u regardless

[@amelieflorelle]

Merry Christmas, Moya! Thanks for making our days just that bit brighter 🌟

[@moyamawhinney]

merry xmas amelie!! thank u for being here 🥺🥺🥺

[@gardenialiu]

your vids are always so relaxing to watch! i’m OBSESSED

[@moyamawhinney]

😭😭😭

[@lisabelle8935]

I finished college in March, got my degree in May and I have been lost-ish ever since. Had to move back in with my parents for 4 months now and like you said, I was so afraid to make a decision about my next steps that I didnot make any. Once having an idea, I developed social anxiety because of ALL the rejection I got for jobs and apartments. It‘s slowly getting better now, but I can 100% relate to the struggle of post college struggle. Lots of love snd I am proud of u!!!

[@serenalorenwhite6350]

moya, I know I can't claim to know you personally but from watching your vlogs since quarantine I feel like I do. From what I can see you are a kind, smart, creative, and immensely thoughtful person. You should be proud of all that you have accomplished this year. Graduating from college is an amazing accomplishment (no less during a pandemic) and growing your youtube channel to 300k+ in like a year!!... Don't be so hard on yourself. You are amazing ;)

[@xensimagination]

I feel like this a lot but over the years I've definitely come to realise, you don't have to go through mega growth and achieve big stuff all the time. Sometimes you just need to look at the little things that add up to quite a lot. But you've definitely achieved some big stuff! You moved into a new flat on your own in London and that's big! Now that you're settled in a space you will get back onto the path you want to be on. It's so easy for us to put so much pressure on ourselves but it's also okay to just 'be' if we need it. I have no doubt you're gonna do great things in London! Your creative soul will thrive here! xoxoxo

[@moyamawhinney]

ahh!! thank you for the lovely lovely comment 🥺🥺 im definitely excited to work on some things now that I am more settled ahh - wishing you the best for the holidays and new year! xx

[@jeannelle_]

It’s definitely understanding not having a set routine. When quarantine hit last year and everyone was stuck at home I felt like I was wasting life away but at the same time I wasn’t because before the pandemic hit I was go go go. I woke up went to work, went to my internship, went to class until 9pm. But because of quarantine I was able to spend quality time with my parents and I’ll never take that for granted again! You got this! We are rooting for whatever your heart desires. You’re so young, plenty of time to think ❤️❤️

[@jaynne-lima]

Moya, you're not alone. I don't even know how to explain what i feel about this year lol wishing you all the best and a happy holidays with your beautiful fam

[@Aanapoda]

We are not meant to do something super impressive every month of every year also..growing is a very up and down, high and low journey. Everything you are feeling right now is making you grow, slumps are also important. All we can do is go on and do our best today (dont compare your best today to your best of yesterday). Sending you positive thoughts :)

[@kiddoofkatti]

I love it. I love the way you share your process of growing, thoughts n feelings. People need people to see that they're not alone, or not the only who feel not as good as used to without sun. I just love what you're doing and reminding that you r such a beautiful soul. And YOUR MOM !Remember it!

[@moyamawhinney]

awwWW thank you so so much for this!! 🤧🤧🤧 you made my morning

[@salariganello7046]

Currently on the sofa rotting and drinking tea, and hearing moya from 1 year ago go through what she was feeling and me knowing where she is today not only makes me feel so over the moon happy for her and everything she works towards, but also gives me hope Ill figure out my life soon. Anyone else ?

[@moyamawhinney]

omg………… i love you.

[@salariganello7046]

Love u more girlie …. Keep killin it in Paris

[@ellierose15]

never felt so heard omg i feel the exact same, the second part of this year has been so tough - sending u so much love n good energy for 2022 already feel like its gonna be our year 💌

[@maryam_bsq]

this was definitely so so comforting and the lil chatty catch up was relatable, i've been feeling like the last few months of 2021 were overwhelming although many blessings have shown up, graduating school has definitely put me more into the outer world and i've been feeling lost and aimless as well. but i'm ready for a new chapter in life and i'm pretty sure that better days are coming

[@bjorkcolao]

i love seeing you show the batik, the indonesian culture is SO magnificent! 🌼 happy holidays, Moya! 🍃

[@franhoey5322]

going through all the same post-grad feels rn, so it's somewhat comforting to know i'm not the only one

[@sarahb.m.5730]

This was the cutest vlog - your mum is so sweet and beautiful. You look so similar! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the second half of this year. I actually find it way more comforting to see someone talking about that because I (and I’m sure so many others) can relate xx

I love your cozy vibes and editing 💖 17:05 so cute your newspaper gift wrapping ! That really nice ideal love it

[@moyamawhinney]

heheh thank you!!! looks so cute n lit so easy if you have stuff lying around !

[@graceq5752]

Yooo I have literally felt the same over the latter half of this year. I’m final year uni and don’t know what I want to do after I graduate in a few months n it’s really taking a toll on me, like I feel because I don’t know what I want to do or want to achieve in the next year or what direction to go in I’m like plateauing ??? in this weird mood ??? And nothing is really fulfilling me nor, like you said, making me proud. it is weird It’s nice to find solace though with you and other viewers who feel the same here - we r super young and (still) living in a panny d :( Life will come to us sooner or later and we will grab it by the balls !! not to sound cliche but we should all just enjoy the ride whilst we can. hope u have a nice christmas XXX

[@BCgal924]

remember that you're not supposed to have as much energy in the wintertime!!! It's nature's time to recover and reset and having a sort of "ending" (like graduation) can make this lower energy seem "lesser" than what was previously normal. Being ok with a "hibernation" phase of the year and not knowing one hundred percent where you'll be in the future is a-ok

[@oliviapalmier8429]

you look so much like your mother!! you both are so beautiful, merry christmas moya :)

[@jooja4045]

Feel the same way, sometimes we are just trying to live and survive each day with ourselves♥️ we have to be ok with just being sad and taking care of ourselves in those times.

[@martineskaret]

I graduated uni two years ago and I feel the exact same, pleease don't beat yourself up over it. it's so refreshing to see someone else being in this stage of life where you're a bit lost and figuring it all out. it's tricky! we need to be kind to ourselves

[@katefraz]

Honestly the last thing i want from ytbers is constant toxic positivity! Dont apologise for feeling down, it's definitely understandable in this period of time 👀 and i like when you talk through ur emotions :)

[@moyamawhinney]

hahaha honestly talking through them definitely helps put things in perspective - even when I was editing I was like oH okay no maybe you're being a little dramatic haha.. but thank you - sending luv this season ! xx

[@GooseTurner]

being a new grad this year has been confusing, and I’m feeling stuck and directionless as well ❤️ wishing you a happy holiday and new year! hopefully it really /will/ be our year

[@DDRandDSLover]

This wasn't negative at all! I appreciate the honesty. I feel the exact same. I was doing well during the school year but now that I've graduated and feel aimless, my routine has stopped. Here's to getting through it one day at a time! Thank you for these wonderful videos 💕

[@elisapenn]

i really appreciate that u show us also the bad and boring sides of life and that everything's not always amazing and great and it's totally fine! also, love how even if u'r not at ur best u'r always trying to appreciate what u have, ur family & friends & everything, that's so lovely xx btw, that purple jumper u were wearing at the beginning is sooo cute!

[@delalipop5257]

i relate! esp to feeling disappointed in myself. what really helped me when I was proceeding that feeling was returning to the actual intentions I had set bc i realized that I had gotten so bogged down by my physical plans. As soon as I did that, I was okay and felt fulfilled but in ways that I didn’t initially realize/acknowledge. lots of love!

[@moyamawhinney]

ahh thank you! I definitely think talking through my feelings also weirdly helped see a different perspective? like kind of had to get my thoughts out there to then be like okay okay it's actually not that bad hahaha.. sending loove and merry xmas/ny!! xx

[@jaidynprobst5456]

catching up on your videos & this one resonates. i am a junior in uni and just switched from pre med to psych & art history, which i love and feel is more true to me but also has been quite a disorienting switch. sending you love and light for the new year, and, as uncomfy as it is, disappointment and imposter syndrome only live in our heads, and it's not manifested by those who love us. love how open you are always and i hope you know how appreciated you are by us! 🌟

[@giuliapariz]

your mom is so cute

[@andreanatalia2758]

i don’t even know how to explain but literally watching this video is something i truly needed like wowwww ! to be frank ive been lazy and tired all the time and exhausted, i don’t even know how to explain it.. bc i just feel like i shouldn’t feel this way but maybe it’s just my mindset and maybe im holding myself back.. & I’m holding on to my recent past.. ive entered a new chapter in my life & im now single and free and im trying to find my identity and it’s definitely been hard but i have to keep reminding myself that change is good, change is growth & i have to push myself to accomplish all my dreams and ambitions !! I’ve told this to my brother before , rn enjoy what you have and how hard you worked to get to where you are today bc at one point in your past you were aiming for this very moment , enjoy it while it last bc you will find a new direction and new goals & you will succeed !! enjoy the present bc it’s a gift & we gotta love every min of this beautiful life ! love you !! sending all my love !! 💞

[@frankiefulya]

Hey Moya 👋🏼 I’ve been in this weird post-grad season for 5 years now, I’m 26. I’ve come to the conclusion that life at uni is super super fulfilling, fun and productive. Just want to help you find peace with that a few years earlier than I did 😭 as you grow you will find other positives and things that drive you but just in different ways. I can understand right now that you feel like you are waiting for the next big thing or the next huge motivation. Without sounding too depressing I’ve yet to find something that makes me feel like uni again. That 21 year old girl was at the top of her game and was flourishing. Find excitement in travelling, your career and self development. It now has to come from within whereas at uni it was a lot of external energy flowing through into you. That’s the biggest change for me, the energy shift.

[@moyamawhinney]

hi!!! ah Frankie thank you so so much for this - that energy shift idea is something that really seems to make sense, we kind of have all the control now of what to focus on and its both overwhelming and exciting. wishing you all the best my love - I hope you find something whether big or small that you are excited to focus on this year xx

[@ishiwhitecross1]

Hey babe, Thank you so much for sharing your truth! I graduated at the same time as you and feel exactly the same! I still haven't figured out exactly how to find my way out of this feeling and this season of life, but hearing you speak about it gave me some relief that I am not the only one that feels this way!

[@kmac23]

completely resonated with how you're feeling!! the last half of this year I fell off all my healthy habits and I've lost a sense of routine and direction which makes me feel like im losing myself? like I don't feel like myself anymore... and im taking a gap semester from school, which means im gonna have so much free time and I won't be a student. I am bummed out about that but it's an admin issue im having with the school. but moya, I think you're being so hard on yourself because you were stressed out trying to move to London for a bit, but then you did it! you moved to London and got your first apartment, and I think that's something you should give yourself more credit! you're not a disappointment, and im very proud of you!!

As I can see in the comments and from my own experience too, you are not alone Moya 💟. We have to admit that this year has been a chaos in itself at some moments. It is completely normal to feel exhausted or unaccomplished by the end of it. Even if we might not see it, there are ways in which we’ve grown or changed. Get all the rest you need to step freshly into the new year. Love xx

[@luc2571]

Feel the exact same way. I graduated at the same time as you and immediately started an internship that kept me busy while also keeping my old job. Now, the internship ended. And since Octoberish ive been on a weird stagnant stage. I have a job which I actually like but now I don’t have school and friends and an internship to break up the monotony. I feel myself slipping a work a lot in terms of how well I’m producing things. Ugh. I also feel like there’s not as much to look forward to without school. Which I know isn’t true but idk. That’s just how it feels

[@journeysandjournals]

♥️ To whoever needs it: We live in a world that rewards constant achievement and goals - it’s actually okay to be still and quiet. It’s feminine energy. It also provides a good opportunity to reflect on our lives, our mind, our body & spirit. We’re in winter right now and naturally, this is a season of retreat, stillness & inner reflection - women, as cyclical beings, often feel the pull to ebb and flow with the energy of each season. Let’s surrender to the rest we’re being called towards ♥️✨✨

[@marapatino2290]

I feel like no one prepares you for the reality that is post grad life. It’s a really confusing, odd time - we live all of our lives having really tangible goals in front of us and therefore have a ton of really clear accomplishments to see. Then you leave a whole life literally filled with school and you’re on your own to find nearly a whole new set of tools for finding points of self worth, “accomplishing” goals, etc. On top of that, you’re left to try to figure out literally who you are as a normal adult without the social guise of school surrounding you. It’s a really tumultuous time and the eeriness of all of it definitely comes in waves. Just know that you’re not alone and so many people go through the same exact experience that you’re describing. Try to be a bit easier on yourself - try to understand that the way we’ve been taught to “accomplish” things and be “successful” our whole life isn’t the only way to be happy. Find what works for you and know that it doesn’t have to fit the pretty toxic societal mold that we’ve all been brought up in. I’m almost two years post grade and I still occasionally experience what you’re describing. You’re doing an amazing job - just keep on going and searching for joy, at the end of the day that’s really just what we all need. ❤️

[@DDRandDSLover]

This was comforting to read as a recent lost grad. Thank you for leaving this comment. 💕
