its because life is temporary. It doesn’t matter how wealthy you become or how many goals you achieve. In the end, it will never be enough. We always realise this when death happens in our life or we lose something or become financially unstable. Idk man i just try find happiness in the little things and be good to everyone around me and i’ve just let go of expectations. I don’t chase the world because the world ain’t worth it.

[@kleom]

are u suffering that much that you think this about life?

[@sue980]

@@kleom I do think that they have a point. Idk how old you are but as a teenager I believed that the world is full of beauty and that people are mostly good and I didn’t want to acknowledge the bad stuff. As I got older I saw the world as it really is, manifestation is real but as you get older you experience so many hardships: your loved ones die - you can’t stop that from happening, people who you thought you could trust with your life betray you because of their own issues, you might experience violence - especially from men and you don’t need to hang around dangerous people to experience that (trust me, sometimes you think you know someone but you only know what they want you to know). The world isn’t a utopian dream, there are beautiful people and amazing moments of course. However, as you age you're starting to see that the world is also full of evil and you can't run from that truth, bad things happen and you're forced to see it all as it is. I think what they were trying to say is that we should stop constantly chasing after 'the perfect life' because it doesn't exist and we should appreciate what we have, feel grateful for the little things and people you have now that make you feel good because we constantly chase after something better that in reality is an illusion, that’s how you can waste your life for years instead of being appreciative of what you already have.

[@riyag7476]

The little voice cracks are so saddening… However u should be really proud that u are still making these videos while going through all of this.. We are rooting for you 🤍

[@azaliyahx]

The part about occasional sadness being normal is so true. After I had my first depressive episode when I was a teen, I acc developed like a fear of being sad at all and thought I had to be happy all the time to prevent myself from slipping into rlly bad depression again, but now I see sadness more as a helpful sign for me to focus more on self care or that I need to change smth in my life that might be causing it- like it's purpose is to show me smth that might not be working and point me back on the right track, it's not just smth terrible which I need to fight away or a sign smth is wrong w me

[@lauraoshea1701]

That is a very helpful way to look at it, thank you

[@kadekraskin7920]

wow that resonated with me soooo much I always feel like when I'm sad peple are going to leave me because i'm not entertaining enough. nice to see nobody is alone with their feelings.

[@user_-vv9og]

Yeah i agree , mild sadness is something not meant to be suppressed but to listen to . 🙉

[@AyaInGalaxy]

We don't need to fix everything. My therapist made me feel I needed to "heal" and blah blah about traumas. No, I want to leave all that behind and live my life, I don't want to spend my entire existence trying to FIX myself as if I need to be fixed, if you think about it, the whole concept is fucked up. I'm a human being, bad things happened to me? yes, that does not mean by any means that I'm broken. I'm just some creature living on earth. Btw, keep in mind that therapists have to make money so obviously they will try to defend and promote their job.

[@MinieAnne]

I thinks it's more nuance than that, thing happen to you no it doesn't mean you broken but how do you cope with it is more the question because some people have unhealthy coping mechanisms that hurt them and other around them.

[@Troldmand-go3id]

Depression is something for itself. I didnt even knew i had depression before 2 years later. I knew my mood was different, but I could smile and laugh, and that was not depression for me. It was. Everything will work out ❤️‍🔥

[@sweetener7777]

"Wherever you go, there you are" omg such a beautiful line❤

[@Star17png]

There’s a really cool book named that too and it helped me soo much

[@prestomama]

I cant believe this, im just currently crying after just getting so stressed, was opening utube withthe intention of searching for some actual educational finance related vids and got so emotional seeing you pop up, crazy timing seriously

[@issjjd4651]

Same thing happened to me

[@Linnetd]

There’s also been a rise in internet people telling the young people to let go of people who don’t “serve you” and “be selfish”, then when people actually follow that advice everyone is surprised why everyone is actually unpleasant and fake. It really makes friendships increasingly more transactional and less special/real. It’s being normalized to look for a leg up everywhere you go and it just sucks the soul out of life in general. I appreciate this video 💗

[@Avigus208]

That mild sadness is so relatable. I have never heard anyone else talk abt it . I always feel sad beneath. When I think back to My childhood I jusr remember being confused and sad all the time

[@liefiscute]

I hope you’ll start feeling better soon! Don’t pressure yourself too much.

[@Gojooosatoruu]

Thank you! I was just having a bad day today too feeling quite depressed thanks for posting!

[@surreal_hearts]

This video really hit me. I’ve always had this lingering sadness in me but I got so used to this that I started thinking this was normal. Even though I’ve changed my outlook on life by not caring about what I see on social media or what someone else does. Your videos really helped me grow to be better but still, sometimes I feel like I’m not enough for the world. I’ve become the version of me that the 15 year old me would have wanted and I remind myself of that everyday. Thank you for making me a better person and you might not see this, but thank you a million times!

[@FilimontheFilipina]

Simone, thank u for being vulnerable. Its so true and sad that our generation is more susceptible to depression and I've witnessed it in my own way. We have endless access to tools and resources about anything under mental health, self improvement, healing, which is great, but can lead to info overload. Especially, as someone who loves to learn, I've immersed myself so muchhh into these content over the years, that I realized what's making me more down was that THERE. WAS. ALWAYS. SOMETHING. TO. FIX. about me. While, I have a friend who grew up in the province and lived a simpler life relative to me, who although already had a jolly personality, despite not knowing everything I've immersed myself into, was better in navigating struggles and down moments. Wanting to heal, improve ourselves is great ofc, but not in my case where I've hyperfixated on things that are "wrong" with me. Because everything is related, and one problem causes another, which is another thing thats needs fixing. Honestly its exhausting. We don't have to do it all at once. That is such a big awakening for me, just in time for this video. Also, the lack of community, instant gratification?! Its ruining how we operate. Had to remind me that we didn't have social media before, as it has became a normal habit for me to pacify myself w unintentional scrolling whenever I am bored for a while. I'm concerned with the well being of our generation. Love and appreciate u simone, been watching since 2020 xoxo

[@Star17png]

I’ve felt with depression since I was 14 and daily habits over time has helped me sooo much. Staying off the social media lately and eating right for ur gut (which the gut has a lot to do with our brains) it’s crazy how I have to do all of these things daily walks, I go to nature 3-4x a week, and ground and get sun, and sleeepimg with hz so my 🧬 dna can heal ⛅️ Hope anyone that is reading this finds comfort in knowing that we’re all gonna die one day so try these things out for funsies

Simone, you are incredibly strong for sharing your vulnerability and how you’ve been feeling lately. I can completely relate to that and appreciate you putting out this video. Also, I am so sorry for your loss. Spend this time with your family and loved ones because that is what matters most right now. I lost my brother just under a year ago and can relate to how challenging it is to lose an immediate family member. Stay strong, stay you, and never forget your ability to overcome difficult things. Appreciate you.❤

I found your channel my freshman year in high school. I was in the second semester and it was ROUGH. I had found out that my stepparent was terminally ill and I was making hospital visits everyday and staying up until about 12-1 in the morning doing homework everyday. I just want to let you know that the information you have given me has helped me not only better myself as a student, but also work through my grief (that parents is no longer here). I hope that everything ends up getting better for you. Loss is extremely difficult to go through and it’s okay to have ups and downs. Just remember to take of yourself

[@Mia-jj2vn]

Thank you so much Simone, I’ve had a year of a lot of loss and fell into a sadness I’d never before experienced. Many of my friendships crumbled and I realized how little they cared about me. I became supper unorganized and would go on long walks and cry and record voice messages to myself because I didn’t feel like I could completely open up to others as I felt like I only had two friends I really could trust. I got therapy and have defiantly been on an upward trend but I don’t feel as light as I used too. This video is really great, thanks for your vulnerability and honesty

This is how I’ve been feeling it’s something in the air. You are never alone , no one is ever alone you are loved I suffer from bipolar 2 depression, and have severe depressive episodes with constant suicidal ideation and attempts. I won’t say it will get better but it can be managed. There are so much people who love and care about you, take some deep breaths, take a day to do nothing, it’s okay to do nothing. Ilysm 💜 My dad passed two but when I was 7 the grief doesn’t go away but it gets easier to live somewhat okay overtime.
