"Your twenties is just puberty all over but its all emotions"
One of the most profound things one of my friends ever said to me.

"there is a freakish pressure that the internet is putting on young creative people to be stupidly successful super young" omg THANK YOU i needed someone to address that

I’m 23, felt completely lost for the past month. Full of depression/thoughts for killing myself. feeling like a disappointment for not being in school. Watching this really helped. Appreciate you. ❤

I saw this video at 20, I just turned 22. I am such a different person from then to now. So many hard lessons. Your life, your personality, your values change so much during this time.

"if you focus on what you lack, you lose what you have." this line hits me real hard.

[talitamelo]

I'm 23 and feel completely lost, seems like everyone is better, smarter etc. than me... this video helped to have patience with myself... thank you!

I’m 29 now turning 30 in 3 months. My dad told me a few years ago that your 20s are some of the hardest days of your life. I used to think this wasn’t the case because I was having the time of life. But now looking back I see what he means. I thought life couldn’t get any better, It’s like you are an adult but there are still certain responsibilities that are put on hold. But there also comes a lot of struggles, worries and anxieties. You feel like you don’t have your life together and that everybody your age is so much further ahead in life than you. You sometimes feel like you’ll never make it. It’s a confusing, stressful, worrying and uncertain time of your life. But if you keep working and you don’t give up there will come a time when that self doubt you used to have will start to fade and you will feel more positive about your life and where you’re at. You can do this ❤

People don't realise how much time they have when they're in their twenties. The best advice I have for 20 year olds is, don't let the internet rush you. Enjoy the ride and don't rush yourself.

Part of me was like 'dont click this video, your fine' & the other part of was like 'click it and face yourself for 10 minutes'. I clicked the video, good luck out there everyone.

Just turned 27 a few days ago. I am the most lost I have ever been in my life. I graduated from HS a year early but after that everything in my life fell apart and I dropped out of college. Always struggled with crippling depression. Recently got out of a long-term abusive relationship and made a drastic life change where I'm now completely alone 1000 miles away from where I lived all of my life and am going to school, but sometimes it's hard to keep up motivation. I have always been 'behind' after HS while watching my cousins (who are younger than me), ex-partner and past friends be successful. Thank you for this video

Hey man, as a totally random person watching this video I just wanna say it's absolutely great and brave of you to speak so openly about the fact that you were abused and how you struggled with it later. I feel tons of respect for you. And thanks a lot for this whole video!

[carolinacruz]

“You wanna call your mom or your dealer?” Was that hitting point for me

[JungleMonkey]

“You’re inexperienced, you’re broke, you’re scared, have mental health issues and childhood trauma” WHY DID HE JUST DESCRIBE MY CURRENT LIFE AT 21 😭

[adriana.mirandaaa]

I just turned 20 recently and I’ve felt so paralyzed by the rush to pack as much into this decade as possible. I didn’t realize that I was setting an impossible standard for myself. The part of the video where you talk about appreciating what you already have is very useful to me, thank you ❤️

[laretto.mp]

As an abuse survivor, I cannot begin to explain how FREE I feel after I spoke about it to EVERYONE. I might make a lot of people uncomfortable by saying "I was raped" but it feels good to be able to speak up and eventually get over it! I cant wait until I can do it without teary eyes. Please DO NOT KEEP THAT AS A SECRET

[marciscott]

I love how we’re all just vibing with the other lost 20-something year olds in the comments 😂 we’ll figure this out guys!!!

[laurahoman]

As a person in her mid-fifties, I have to say this excellent advice applies to every decade of life. Thanks for sharing.

[sofiajimenez]

About to be 21 tomorrow. I'm only a year into this decade and I already feel so different from when I was a teenager. Glad to see everyone has their own thing going on, and that we're sharing our experiences under this comment section. Good luck to everyone and keep on rocking!

Turning 23 in about a week and it’s honestly such a relief to see that I am not alone. The constant feeling of beeing not enough and making
the wrong decisions is crazy. So what I learned from this video: Relax, like honestly and just try to be a little better everyday by beeing grateful and doing the right things
