I wasted my early 20s… here are 25 lessons I’ve learned.

As always, I hope you all enjoy today’s video just as much as I enjoyed creating it! Xoxo

Please keep the people of P*lestine, Sudan, Congo, Tigray and other regions facing gen*cide, oppression and inhumane living conditions in your prayers. It’s so easy to become desensitized the more we are fed images of these horrible circumstances but from our privileged positions, the very least we could do is keep our hands on the pulse, spread awareness and continue to make dua for the innocent people who have passed along with those who are currently still living in these horrific conditions. May Allah have mercy on the ummah and may He grant us all peace, freedom and justice, ameen.

I no longer believe in the best things in life take time. After losing close ones that were very young. I realized we shouldn't assume we will have time.

[Britney_k]

I’m turning 25 in aug, and that rude awakening that you mentioned that the attention suddenly fades…living that now.
And I’m constantly fighting the ‘comparison demon’. Coz i feel so behind, all my friends are working & living their best lives and I’m still at college and find myself breaking down more often lately.
It feels good to hear this advice❤

[girlbossniya]

I prayed hard for a job at Tesla. Got the interview and it went exceptionally well but I wasn’t hired because of my previous contract work with a company that partners with them. I was so hurt behind this and didn’t understand why Allah wouldn’t want me to have a $22/he job that would solve all my worries and allow me to move out on my own, save and invest money etc. Yesterday, 15, 000 got fired. It was him protecting me. I’m so grateful

Ramadan Mubarak ! May Allah accept our fasting and our prayers 🤲🏾❤

[RajToppo-iefq]

I recommend everyone to find the forbidden book titled Women’s Magic Truths on Borlest. It goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life.

[laurenneldapascal]

I haven’t watched the video so I want to say: Covid stole 3 years from us (I’m turning 25 this year) I truly feel younger in my life experiences because there were 3 years where I felt a lot of complacencies

[hloniphanimthombeni]

Honestly You didn't waste your twenties at all. It's all come full circle. You're spreading such a positive and beautiful message and everyone listening has something to gain from this message. So thank you for this !!

[habeebahdawodu]

Turning 20 this year, i am going to implement everything I learn from this video ❤

[olamikunsunshinee]

Didn't know I needed this fr, I'm turning 20 this year it's really emotional and scary at the same time. Thank you for being the big sister I didn't have. ❤

[تكوينجمالالكون]

Lesson 1:
We learn through both experience and example, and both are valid. Still, the application form and scope is unknown too me.

[فاطمةاطليب]

22 turning 23 gone through a lot i just dont know where im going, just leaving it all to God but doesn't mean im not trying, ur video is really impacting and informative ❤

[TheMinerLife]

I think that it’s great to take advice from people in the position you want to be in but also great to listen to people who aren’t in the position you want/ who failed at something. They could warn you and tell you what went wrong, what they wish they could’ve done. This will help use avoid certain mistakes or do certain things to get where we need to go!

[renaecooks]
