For People Feeling Behind In Life

👋 Come say hi

A video for everyone feeling behind in life.

[davidwear]

I’m 46 and am astounded at the double life fakery in social media. I respect honesty in life. You balance beauty with honesty and heartache pretty darn well. I also have a good life but the older I get the less I give a sh.. about what people think of me. Great video BTW❤️

I can relate to this so so well... I'm turning 31 this summer and I have been struggling a lot with feeling behind in life, to the point where I thought something is wrong with me. I don't have a job or any savings, no partner, kids etc like a lot of people my age, and up until recently I was so lost, not knowing what I want to do with my life. I am only starting my path now and still have a lot ahead of me, and I still feel behind at times. But what helps me is to realise that all these expectations we also have in our own thoughts, have their source in our society and other people. We are constantly flooded with how things should be at a certain age or time and people suggesting us what to do. If we take that all away and just "be", we would not feel that way I think.
Not too long ago someone told me something that really changed my view on this. This person said, I may feel behind in life, but actually, I am ahead of a lot of other people. Because I have found my path and I have found myself, I have learned so much about myself in the past months and gained clarity. This is so valuable and a lot of people my age DON'T have that. Our society tends to only look at materialistic achievements, things that can be shown to others, and compare with that. But the work that has been done on the inside is equally important! I hope this helps anyone who is reading my comment! 🤗❤

I will be 60 in a couple of months & I have the same feelings. I think as a humans we set expectations on ourselves that don’t really resonate with who we really are. Kalle thank you for being so real & honest. This was a message that I needed to hear today. Remember that you are good enough !!! 😀

Love it ... two things to tell you 1. More money in life just buys you a better class of miserableness 2. Write you own path in life as you only get one chance. Be happy and keep sharing the love x

I'm 33 and often feel like this, too.

My life is rather unconventional, I guess.

Learnt a job, studied, quit several 9-5 jobs, spent years abroad working different kinds of jobs, now I'm self-employed which comes with its own challenges...

Sometimes I'm like "wtf am I even doing with my life" when I look at others. But then - I did everything I wanted to do so far. I might not have a big career or anything but damn - I have some stories to tell! I know if I die, I'm gonna die in peace, knowing I left my comfort zone 1000 times and didn't settle for less than what makes me happy.

Often we're too hard on ourselves. I know a lot of people probably envy me for my life and all the experiences I made. The grass always looks greener on the other side.

Often I try to remind myself that nothing really matters. I mean: We're floating around on a little blue planet in the universe, our life is so short, our problems are so small - who actually cares what we do with our lives (if we don't hurt others)?

"At some point when you create yourself... To make it you're going to have to either let that creation go and take a chance on being loved or hated for who you really are. Or you're going to have to kill who you really are and fall into your grave grasping onto a chracter that you never were".
~ Jim Carrey

Be yourself, accept yourself to be enough - because you are. For yourself and for those around you.
Very important topic.
Thank you for your honesty 💕🙏🏼

Something to consider:
-do you live in front of the camera or behind the camera?
-do others lives in front of your camera or behind your camera?
-what about staying together on the same side of the camera?
-what about removing the camera completely from the picture?
-do you see the picture?

"I don't have to believe everything that pops into my head"... perfect! As a sensitive over thinker, this is a great phrase I will say to myself to get me through the hard events/interactions. I appreciate you sharing your perspectives, this is a timely message. Be blessed with joy Kalle.

I'm 24 right now and I get caught up thinking this way too. Everyone tells me "you have your whole life ahead of you" and its so true, but sometimes it doesnt feel like I'm doing enough. But now I'm going to Hawaii for 3 months this summer to work on a farm and get my hands in the land, grow my own food, build things, and tap in with nature, which I know is one of my purposes. I know this will teach me so much going forward with the rest of my life and I'm thankful to not have waited for so many years to grasp this opportunity!

Kalle, I'm currently 34 with husband and 6 year old twins. Totally agree with you. There's expectations from society ( everybody who points at you, if you fail in something) the only way is to ignore those voices and enjoy little joys in life. 😉

[kaersten]

I understand these feelings. I am a 54 year old woman living in rural USA (the State of Pennsylvania). I am a university professor teaching visual art. At the age of 40 I learned how to play the violin (and read music).

A year ago I started a journey to learn clinical herbalism. I thought it would help me age well. For the rest of my life I will be outside in nature leaning from the plants. What a perfect way to complete one's life.

What I've discovered is that no one really cares what you do with your life expect you. We have an entire lifetime to do the things we love. There is no rush. If you consider yourself to be an inquisitive person, then you are lucky. Most people in this world are not, thus they are bored with themselves. But you will never be bored with your life.

Your child will see that you know how you move forward in life, and that you are always interested in taking on new projects, and learning new things. May everything you touch in this world turn to gold !

I’m about to turn 45 and I know exactly how you feel. I feel like this every day and every day I remind myself that I am enough. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with us.

[didgegirl]

Thank you Kalle. This is a much needed conversation. I'll be 60 in a couple of months and definitely feel like I have to make up for lost time. But then I ask "who says?" You're an inspiration to me to keep doing what I'm attempting in going for a music career. Thank you for all you do. You're enough m' dear. Big hugs from the Pacific Northwest.

I’m 30 and I couldn’t relate to this video more, Kalle. It’s almost as if the more we grow old, the more we struggle to have it together 😄

[maryannknox]

[helenaduarte]

Dear Kalle, you have everything in order to make it ! You're a great singer, photograph, filmaker, come on ! Don't be too hard on you. Step by step, day by day. God bless.

[cristinamaria]

I also have this feeling all the time...As I thought, five years ago, that by 30 I would finally own a land to grow my own food on, a little home on that land and a baby... I have accomplished none of those things, and mostly due to the lockdowns in these past years (I lost my jobs, my apartment, my partner lost his job too ) and now we are struggling so much, saving pennies and I keep seeing it impossible to even have our home this year, and I'm about to turn 31...I gave it a huge cry a couple of nights ago and I can't sleep lately and therefore my health is going down...I have mouth ulcers all the time (I mean it) and stomach aches, and I lost a lot of hair....I need to get out of this zone before I get a serious disease...So...Thank you, Kalle, I needed to hear this! <3

I'll be turning 33 this winter, and I can't tell you how much I relate. For the past 6 years I've been working as a self-employed and freelance artist and illustrator, and while I feel rich in experience, my savings haven't really increased and my health is calling for a change. I find myself walking into the unknown once again, and the 'should's' I eradicated from my vocabulary long ago come creeping back in. Telling me I 'should' have things more figured out and own a house by now. I can't really conceive how that could be possible at the moment - your story is inspiring, to say the least. I realize, anything is possible if you believe, take the leap and work towards it. But also, how we measure our happiness and sense of fulfilment or success is entirely up to ourselves. Thank you for sharing.

[henryascension]

Dear Kalle, I feel you so much you don't even know. The feeling of not being good enough in a society where we tend to constantly compare ourselves to others. Thank you so much for showing yourself so vulnerable. This is what the world needs. Role Models like you who show themselves honestly speaking their truth. No one is good enough and that's okay. What is even good enough?! .... This is what real masculinity looks like. Thank you so much ❤

[karenroe]

ALWAYS REMEMBER PLEASE. YOU ARE ENOUGH. I have lived 59yrs & worked so very hard to make everyone but myself happy. Finally figuring out what I did wrong. I never thought about what makes me happy. These things are always on our minds, success?, wealth, happiness. You are amazing and living a challenging wonderful life. Thank you for sharing your life. Have a blessed week 💖 🌟
