Why you need to PRIORITIZE yourself | Big-Sister Advice Ep. 1

hi guys~

as i talked about in the video, this type of video isn't really the type i upload. but, i've a lot thought about making a series—or at least trying it out at least once—many many times. this video is heavily inspired by both the events in my life and via li's journal entry series. after watching her series, i really admired and appreciated the way she conveyed her thoughts about a topic that we all have to go through or experience. there's something about that style of filmography and making videos that i've never had the chance to explore and really wanted to pursue once. and, i've also been wanting to make more sit-down videos where i get to talk to you guys more. in my regular vlogs, i feel as if there is only a certain extent wherein i get to REALLY communicate my thoughts and express myself. so, that's how a video like this came into fruition

now, with this topic itself, i find that it's something that has is constantly coming into and out of my mind. being so embedded in academia and this "grind mindset", it's very easy to get lost in where your time is going. and also being an introvert, when it comes to people, my time is very limited. now, every person in my life is someone i truly hold dear and love. we all support each other so much and have our own aspirations of our own that we are constantly working towards. i'm so grateful to have them in my life and especially knowing that when i am prioritizing myself, they're also doing the same.

i hope you can find a piece of yourself in this video or it resonates with you in some way. :)

xoxo,
mia ♡

if one video defines one's life, this is it. i admire people who are mature enough to say everything mia said in this video. thank you mia!

I am lost at words, because I have been feeling exactly same for the past couple of months. and I have been feeling how my friends and all guilt trap me because tbh my friends have so much more freedom than me and somethings they just cant understand. Not that im blaming anyone, but this video just gave me sm peace and im really grateful for it. There have been instances where I tend to sacrifice a lot more than/for my friends just for them to ignore it and now I realised how important it is for me to prioritise my PEACE.

[melto.]

i actually love how similar we think and that's also a recent struggle I am dealing with so I hope you can get through it as easy as it is possible for you, thank u bb<3

[makenaibay]

Thank you so much Mia! This really opened my eyes! I feel like we are all trying to achieve the same goal in life and which is to make it through it all! We can only do so much to make our goals happen, but its just the matter of working hard, maintaining a healthy life style, having fun no matter what and being true to yourself. Friends have also come in my life and left me which was absolutely heartbreaking for me. But now, I realize it was for the better, and that I shouldn't be so stuck and to be negative. It been a year now and It was a major obstacle, but now it made me a better person to understand that I am more happier without that negativity! I really needed this! Thank you so much and keep up the content that you are creating! You are the best! :)) <33

Thank you, what you say is very significant. Yes, prioritise yourself. Yes, plan for the future. But in prioritising yourself, also remember to live in the present. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking of the future and planning and forget to live in the now. So, in prioritising yourself it’s also important to actually be there for yourself in this moment and live in the present. 😊

Please continue to post these advices it will really help us, like i think there 's not much people to make us understand these or give us these advices, but we do need it, and hope that we can get it from you, telling your experience can make us to be aware of some of the consequences and avoid these problems, and like can you please post these like telling that really we should like reeally concentrate on our future coz this is what we need but just want someone to make us realise it and constantly remind us, u're soooo goood

I dont know if its wrong for me to say these above things and there's so much i wanna say but for the moment one important thing is that me, still a grade 12 student, like wants motivation and so much more to help me overcome the like giving up, feeling lazy, dont wanna work and much more of these, like i wanna get sucess tooo but it's like there so much of sacrifice but i wanna do it but at the same time im feeling these student thingss lazzzinessss and the fact i dont know who to talk these about butt yeahhhh

[maryelizabethschultz]

thanks mia! i tend to have a really hard time telling people no whether it's when my friend asks to copy my chemistry notes or something like that, so this really helped me!♥

Loved this video so so so much! Please, keep making videos like this 🥹. Also, can you make a video especially talking about Neuroscience in college? Your experience, opportunities, what is your opnion about this major and what is your plans for the future in this area. I am a international student (gap year student now) from Brazil and finding your channel was one of the best things that ever happened to me 🫶🏻.

[coppertistwu]
