My biggest lesson is "just keep breathing. As long as you are breathing things can get better."

This was 'given' to me after a suicide attempt. It's good advice that has kept me from trying again. 🙂

One lesson I have learned in my 46 years is that I don't have to follow anyone's path. I can follow my own path even though it looks different.

My biggest lesson was to realise I wasn't the person that I am. It was about learn about myself. In my early 20s I fell into depression and it took me 4 years to climb out of it with no help. But since it was such a long period with no one but me, not even my family I live very far from them, just me and my own thoughts – it enabled me to think, to really think. During this period I lost interest in everything I used to like doing before, everyone once around me got left behind, I was completely alone, me and my work hours, day after day. When I wasn't in the office I would be sleeping, or drinking alcohol, or eating .. I've gained so much weight. And when I started coming out on the other end I realised I don't know who I am. And that was the best feeling I have ever had! I was a blank page, I was allowed to become whoever I wanted to be! I was ready to become who I always were supposed to be! I've questioned everything, I used to like before, I remembered and knew I liked those stuff, but picking it up again I actually had to stop and experience it again and decide "is this something I like or not?" I realised I was living someone else's life before my depression, I was living according to what was expected from me, I was being a good daughter, an excellent student, I've worked hard and landed a good job, I was following my hobbies and grew thousands of followers online, I was going out with friends, I was clothes shopping and dressing well, I was dating, I was doing what society thinks I should be doing and what my family expected of me, and these somehow became what I expected of myself too. Then the depression happened. Going through my 4 years of depression in that sort of sterile environment with no one to steer me to the wrong direction, I come out on the other end as someone who was no longer that person – this was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm happier than ever, I'm true to myself. I've picked up new habits, new favourites, new passions that fill my soul, I went travelling alone and discovered other countries, talked to complete strangers sharing our dreams and goals and never see them again, I have new priorities, I realised I didn't like the clothes I was wearing so I threw out everything and reestablished my style according to what I actually like, not what I'm expected to wear. I've moved, changed my job, I love my job now! I've buzzed my hair down just to try if this new me is the kind of person who would like that kind of hair. It wasn't so I grew it back. Free for experimentation! I came out of depression 2 years ago. I've turned 29 today, and frankly I love my life, and I love the person who I became and who I'm still becoming. I'm proud of this person, she is slaying it. This was my biggest lesson – to realise as I became an adult – the importance of letting go of everything and learning about yourself. Questioning everything you thought was real to you, dare to question it don't just sink into the convenience. Rediscovering, and staying curious. Daring to let go, being brave enough to introduce the new, keep learning every day. I think that's what the 20s should be about. That's how you are becoming an adult.

"This shall pass because change is inevitable" I cried listening to that cuz positive change is what I want and I really want what I'm going through to pass. And iv been trying to for quiet some time. Taking iniative as u said but even though one needs patience its really hard. But thank you for this video ❤

Meghan the fact that you are 28 gives me so much hope and because I am 21 and I'm so anxious about why I'm not at where most women I admire yet. Again, I really like your channel and like you as a person too(you are like a big sister online to me since I don't have any siblings). You radiate a genuine energy and that's what I really appreciate! Sending my appreciation to you! ❤️

And I was wondering if you would know the solution to a problem that I've been having. I'm currently suffering from vertigo and it feels quite bad. I never thought it would suddenly come back because it was an old problem of mine in my teens. Do you have any remedy to cure vertigo? 🙏🏻

My baby girl reminds me of this every day 💕 I ended up having her alone and it was the best decision of my life.

This is a lovely video Meghan! It is so peaceful to listen to you, and there's so much wise in everything you say. I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos, and somehow each time I watch them I end up with this feeling that "everything's fine, everything's going to be fine". You transmit that. And for someone who deals everyday with anxiety like I do, feeling that is not easy as we tend to worry constantly and way too much. Thanks Meg for your videos, for your peace, for your advise, for the knowledge and wise you share with us. Happy New year of life for you!!! Hugs xxx

Sorry watching lots of older videos. Just found your channel and loving it! I’ve learned that the environment is each of our responsibilities and we can take very small steps to reduce our impact. We just need to start

Happy belated birthday! I am also a January birthday but more than double your 28 years! 😄 Good for you to be so wise at your age! It took me a lot longer to figure all that out, but I completely agree with your 28 comments. Be happy; it’s worth it (this has been my mantra for 10 happy years).
