Dear Late Bloomers...

Показать описание

Are you a late bloomer? Do you feel "behind" your peers in terms of success or experiences?

Think of this video as a reminder to yourself that where you are in life is enough. Life isn't a race, and it certainly isn't a competition.

Are you being too hard on yourself because you haven't "bloomed" yet?

I'm definitely a late bloomer. 32 years old, never had a girlfriend in my life, living with parents, working only part-time... For much time after graduating university I was unemployed and had psychological issues with searching for a job...

But hey! Now I know were I came from (emotionally disfunctional family, being bullied at school), so I told myself: I need to give myself a second chance in life. I went again to university, and now I also teach :) I also went to another college which belongs to my Church (I was raised a Catholic, but I became a Protestant), with a possible goal of working for the Church.

So my appeal to all the late bloomers: if you struggle with your "unsuccessful" life, give yourself a second chance :) Choose your path wisely!

At 28 I was driving ubers and living at my parent's place. By complete chance I drove someone who referred me to her employer for a writing position. I decided to interview and got it, they liked me a bunch and kept promoting me at a crazy fast speed. In one year I was an account executive doing a job most people get MBA's to do. Now I'm 31 and have my first house (granted I don't live there, just rent it), I make excellent money and am happier than I've been for a long time.

I dont know why being virgin is a bad thing. Whether you're a virgin or not, whether you've been kissed or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is you. Just do things that make you a better person and make your life a good story. You might miss the train or bus but does that matter when you've got wings to fly?

I am 23 years old. I still live with my parents, am a virgin, single, didn't go to collage and don't have my divers license. Yet despite all these things, I have a loving family, a good social life, a thriving job from a soon to be billion dollar aerospace industry who wants me to become a corporate consultant. Point of this story is there is no social norm. The term norm only implies what most aspire to be like, not what you are or will become.

I feel like I'll never bloom. I'm 30. Still a virgin. I never kissed anyone, I never went to college or kept a good job. Just working dead end jobs and being left out and ignored.

I was kind of having a rough day, and this made me feel a lot better! I tend to worry a lot, especially about failing and the future. I'm also kind of a late bloomer in most social experiences (I didn't get my first friends until fifth grade and I've never been asked out on a date) so this gave me solace about all the worries in the world. So thank you for making this charming video. (P.S. I love the handwriting, it's so elegant).

Remember:
The ones who bloom late are the most beautiful ones.
There's no meaning to a flower if it doesn't bloom but when it does, it will be beautiful.

I'm a late bloomer! I'm still unable to graduate from college and i have never been in a relationship (I'm in my 20s). I have long accepted my situation but it can't be helped that i would be jealous of others who have achieved those things.

Also, u cant take your time if money is involved. My parents have been struggling financially to pay the college tuition fees. And they don't earn that much money to provide for us too. So they want me to finish college to help provide for our family. My parents want me to graduate sooner, so as annoying as it is, they keep telling me

"Hey, X got a job already"

"Hey, Y has recently graduated"

And to add they keep pressuring me to stop taking my time because we don't know if we will run out of money. So yeah, i wish i had the luxury to take my time...

😍😍😍 You guys are changing lives with your videos! Thanks!!

I used to always look like a kid compared to my peers and had to show an ID even after being 24. It was annoying then, now I kinda miss it sometimes 😊

This video came at the perfect time for me. I’m currently pushing on 23 living with my parents and working in a part-time job out of pure necessity to cover for my studies. I have to admit that I never been in a relationship before. It was hard to keep that secret in a small college where everyone was “expected” to get engaged and married following college, especially in my social circle. I was even made fun of just for that alone. After dealing with unrequited love in the latter half of my time in college, I just fell into a downward spiral mentally. I ended up checking out of social media and actual social life. It was not to long ago before I ended up in psychiatric care to aid my Asperger’s, MDD, and anxiety. Late bloomers was a topic that my therapist went over with me recently and that resonated with me today. On the bright side, I finished my first semester in my MBA and started playing in a professional jazz band playing shows within this month. Bottom line is that life is not determined by social norms of success or petty competition. It’s no doubt that life is hard as it is. The best thing we can do is count our blessings and work to be the best versions of ourselves. Once again, thank you Psych2Go for all the help this year.

I'm a late bloomer - I was blooming from my earliest memories, blooming throughout my childhood and teens, blooming as a young lady and blooming even more as a mature woman ... I'm continuing to bloom ... The quality of my work is better than ever ... I'm happy with who I am as a human being and I love my work ... My heart overflows with gorgeous emotions, my mind overflows with gorgeous thoughts, my mind and body and soul sing with gorgeous songs ... I'm a late bloomer because I'm blooming now more than ever. I'm single ... never divorced and never widowed.

As a fellow late bloomer, I can attest to how much this rings true. While I did waste a lot of time, I also took time to discover myself and my own path, and am the happier for it.

Thank you so much. I'm a late bloomer in many things and low self esteem has made it worse for me. I've actually felt like nobody understood me, and I sometimes still do. But this video has opened up my mind and made me think, "Is it really bad to not be ahead or right on time?" This video helped me understand that I'm perfect the way I am, and I thank you for that.

Now I feel better. :)
I'm 31, a virgin (I'm saving myself for someone special), never had a serious relationship (and I don't think that I even need one), never traveled to see the rest of the world (but I'm already saving most of my earned money for it) etc.
And I always thought I'm late with everything in life while everyone around me already has achieved the things I seem to miss out.
But now, after seeing this video I don't feel so pressured anymore.
Such a relief! ❤
So, when the time comes, certain things will happen, and I don't have to force anything. Maybe the best things in life are happening when we least expect them to happen.

I'm 21, still living with my parents with no job and no drivers license. I've stopped telling people I don't have a license because I'm instantly judged, especially by 15/16 year olds who already have them. As if its completely unacceptable to not have a license. -_-*

I'm a 23 year old guy, and I haven't kissed or dated anyone yet.
Thank you, I needed this
