Trying not to cry 🥹🏡 Trust the process and keep going.

The last part where she mentioned moving so many time till she bought her own house 😢 this hit me hard

[Shortandnerdyy]

I’m 27 and I’m still trying to get my degree and my dream job. I still live at home and I have never been in a relationship or had a job for longer than a month. I suffer for anxiety and was finally trying to get help for it but it got delayed because of something with my insurance. I’m taking a semester off and I might have to transfer to a different university. There are days where I wish that won’t ever wake up. My parents are immigrants and still support me but every day I feel like a waste of their sacrifices. When I was younger i thought I had a bright future but every time I come close to achieving something now my life decides to take a wrong turn.

There were several times during this where I said: me too. Maybe one day I'll be able to say that I met the love of my life and bought my first house.
You are such an inspiration. Congratulations!! ✨️💕

I hear you. I was a full blown addict by the time I hit 25. Long story short, I’m clean now and I get to be a wife and a mother, I broke the cycle. As long as you’re still breathing, there is hope. ❤

10 years ago. I was starved. Underweight and sick constantly. I’d just left my abuser.

I too am engaged, bought a house and my first new car.

I grew up in a house without running water born to both parents who didn’t finish high school. I have two degrees.

I’m still lost on where life is meant to go sometimes. But I trust what led me here. ❤your message brought me to tears 😭

Hi Monica, I just wanted to say that the part where you said you gave yourself scars gave me a little hope. I’ve been struggling with SH, but you saying that shows me that there is hope. Thank you so, so, so, so much. ❤

Trust the process just like you did with this makeup look. Bravo 👏🏽

"I gave myself scars that will be with me forever" that line is just so sad and i can tell u were really struggling 💔

[qmomof]

Im a mother of 8 going back to school. Thank you for this!.. God bless 😊

[samo.]

you don't know how much it helps to hear this. thank you.

[TheAvgWoman]

This got me emotional. All those lows were so you could appreciate the blessings of simplicity and stability.

[linsy_ali]

When you said that you struggled with severe anxiety and depression and you hated the school that you're going too, I felt that 💔

[curt_jestr]

“gave myself scars that would be with me for the rest of my life” this hit hard, ive come to accept and love my body scars and all. trust the process guys, it gets better

[jeanie]

Thank you for posting this. Currently 19 and feeling like a failure compared to my peers and struggling mentally. It’s good to know that things can and will get better

[ashasohail]

I love the realness of this video. You are so right. I look back and see how far I have come. Yes, we are strong women who can achieve anything and more than we can believe

[BeverlyWhite-zh]

Trusting the process is horrifying yet I'm still here and you're gorgeous! Thank you!

[nurse_vest]

Thank you for this! I think this is my favorite “makeup” video so far! I do my makeup to heal! After breast cancer left me unable to do much. Learning makeup at 51 yrs old has been my physical therapy and mental therapy!

[disharana]

Thank you I really needed to hear this. Im 31and I feel like everything in my life has been delayed, trying to get my driver's license and today's driving class was so demotivating, I felt like I cannot do one thing right. Thank you Monica, sending you so much love.

I know when you say scars, it can be referring to a couple of different things— from emotional trauma to literal scars on your body. As someone who has struggled with self harm for over a decade, I’m dying for more people to talk and open up about their experiences (IF THIS IS THE CASE.) I have felt beyond alone and isolated because I never see influencers representing people like me ❤️

[scarleett]
