Manifesting in Your 30s | Stepping into Your Power
This year started with a lot of prayers to the universe, to give me some light, to bring me where I am meant to be. I found myself unhappy, frustrated and depleted. And consequently, bit by bit, I've had to do a whole lot of letting go. Of people, things, a big part of my business and opportunities. And yet again, I am humbled that letting go is often where new chapters start. I hope to document more of my life lessons and revelations in my 30s, for the younger me. ❤️

What I learned about my mom at 30
Переглядів 945 місяців тому
I recently turned 30 and that has been leading me through a series of reflections. One of them being how my appreciation and understanding of my mom has evolved over the years. And how much she was still navigating her own identity, when she had me-of being Asian-American and being Hmong-American. And how much the hustle culture of this society makes us take for granted the simplest of things t...
What I've Learned About Love at 29
Переглядів 6 тис.8 місяців тому
My whole online journey started from blogging through heartbreak, and has unraveled through my lessons in life and love. But I know I haven’t really shared my journey in a long while. I’ve been reflecting on a number of things in the last year of my 20s, and thought it would be a good time to share the things I’ve learned about love up to now and how it has shifted. Feel free to share in the co...
When you lost in life.
Переглядів 304Рік тому
I’ve been really stuck about what I want to do with my career, my future, and where I want to go from here. Some of it is because of fear, fear of what to commit to after a season of burn out and not wanting to fall back into overworking and burnout again. And part of it is just feeling lost; being too passionate about so many things, and just overwhelmed and unsure what to focus on or where to...

This is life at 28 for me, and probably the most liberated version of me yet. I’ve finally given myself permission to just live life my way. So I’m celebrating this birthday with the biggest project I’ve ever done for myself. 🎂 Although my life looks nothing like what I thought it would by now, I was gifted with an even better life than I could’ve envisioned. And I am more proud of how hard I f...
Poetry Prose | If Love Comes
Переглядів 1512 роки тому
Valentine’s Day is coming and I wanted to highlight the other narratives that exist on Love Day; the narratives of those going through heartbreak, still healing, those discovering self-love, and those celebrating how far they’ve come. I wrote this piece from a place that acknowledged being content on my own, and also hoping for the right relationship one day because we often get put into a box ...
Where I Am Now | Poetry in Motion

Here's a piece on all the unlearning that happens after the awakening that happens on your healing journey. After the heartbreaks, the trauma, the things that seem like it takes a lifetime to get through and process. My pieces are usually focused on my past; the broken and hurt parts of my life. And inevitably so was my mind. I told my sister that one of my resolutions this coming year, was to ...
Forgiving Yourself | Overcoming Shame, Guilt & Mistakes
Переглядів 4743 роки тому
I always felt like no one talks about this part of healing...the shame & guilt that's leftover after the wave of pain subsides. Because when you're a hurt person, you hurt people too. Because we're human. We're all trying to figure ourselves out while still crossing paths with one another, & inevitably bleeding onto each other. This one is a letter to all the mistakes of past me. The parts I am...

Hmong Dynasty (Prod. by DJPeter)
Переглядів 3,6 тис.3 роки тому
We have been taking Hmong class the past few months, so for our final project we put together another Hmongarchy video reimagining a fictional Hmong Dynasty. We incorporated vocabulary from our chapter on Hmong Clothing, and spent many late nights (and tears lol) sewing our outfits. Not many have heard us speak Hmong as we are quite beginner and shy, but we mustered all of our limited Hmong to ...

I used to think that healing for me, would mean changing myself to become a new person. But I’ve learned that healing has been more so, a journey back home to the original parts of me that I had lost along the way of growing up. And that the difference would be, having a newfound awareness and understanding of myself and the world. I tend to use birthdays to reflect, but this one was such a dif...

My therapist once asked: “what would a healed Nakita look like?” And I guess, I’ve finally been able to come up with some sort of an answer to capture what this mental heath journey has been like. In a way, this piece also felt like a letter of forgiveness to myself. I considered editing out the end, but ended up leaving it in because these were words I was always dreaming to say, and mean it w...
Redefining Hmong Womxn

Another poetry piece I've yet to share on this channel. For Hmong Women. As womxn, we’ve been minimized and conditioned to live a certain way throughout history, so much so that even now when we are free to live as we please, we find it hard to shake off those voices inside. The “I should be here by now,” “my life should look this way right now,” the “I’m running out of time.” Our biggest roadb...

    This deserves way more likes and views.... Indeed you are the greatest love of yourself ❤ cuz everyone don't have the same perspective of viewing love isn't it? It's not just about romantic gestures or love letters for everyone and in search of an aesthetic, authenticated and simple version of love we end up with that one person in this current gen Z stage and u know who's it? Ourselves .....so just take care, love yourself and embrace life in the most beautiful way.... Know that the right one would never ever leave you ❤ XOXO:-)

      I didn't really "add" any cinematic effect per say. I film on a Canon 5D mark iv. I just made sure to have additional lighting if I needed it and played with color grading when I was editing! Definitely still learning myself. I think you could research color grading LUTS or presets that could help!

    That was so beautiful, thank you! I mean I am at that side of UA-cam where there are channels like these with less subscribers or views or likes compared to the content generally consumed these days but these are just so brilliant, so meaningful and so so beautiful. It's as if people are pouring their heart out, they're helping us see things we generally have the hint of but fail to focus on. I can see the passion behind these videos I mean it's really great, it's peace if I can call that, as somebody who's gonna turn 19, experiences and lessons like these are extremely helpful to shut down the chaos around, the rush and everything, it helps me feel alive and feel grateful for some odd reason. Thank you thank you so much you all, you don't have the idea how your efforts are affecting a lot of people in the best possible way ❤

    I sometimes feel that I'm being left behind like I'm 22 year old guy who has never had a GF, and feel like will i ever find love like so many of my friends and many people I know have been in relationship in their teenage and I also wanted to feel that kind of love you know the teenage love, but I think I missed out on those things, sometimes I wonder do i not deserve it?. Like few months ago I ask my crush out she was the first girl I asked out that took alot of courage, I had crush on her for 1.5 years since college. Eventually I asked her out after I got a job after college since I thought I should atleast have a job to be in a relationship like to take care of her and all😂, but I got rejected and at that time I spent around 6 months trying to recover from that heartbreak, and I felt like maybe not everyone deserves love. Some people are just unlucky.

      Sometimes we just need to be patient to find the one. For now you can focus on yourself to learn how to provide the things you want to have in a relationship. Be the person you would like to find.

    • @nakitavang
      @nakitavang 7 місяців тому

      Awww, I really send you so much love. And in a different way, I can very much empathize. For one, I truly believe everyone deserves love. But it comes at different times and in different forms and ways. I honestly think your thinking is thoughtful, responsible and kind--of wanting to be ready and stable before entering a relationship. I really hope you meet someone who sees that. But also, I wish I didn't start dating when I was a teenager. If I could go back, I wish I got to grow and fully develop on my own until I was 25. Those were such impressionable and transformative years. I think you are really lucky to get to do that. It makes you a better individual and then a better partner when your time comes. I wish you all the best. Genuinely.❤

    Till this day I still hate my brother in law from what he did. My closes friend which is vietnamese who I call my cousin met one of my brother inlaw's closes friend in jail and after they continued to hang out together. Until one day I started noticing he talked and acted exactly like my brother inlaw even had the same fuckboi long hair style slick back so I asked him if he was OMB he said yes so i asked if he knew who Killer was and he knew so I told my friend who he associate with. My vietnamese friend knocked him out after and he didn't fight back but so much for being the big and bad OMB all up in the internet. My brother inlaw was a lowlife hmong gangbanger from northside minneapolis he married my sister at a young age and was a serious meth addict that didn't have a job so when he didn't have money to support his drug habbits, gas money and cigarettes he would force my sister to come over to the house to ask my mother for money but when they were not home at the farm gardening he would steal things along with my clothing. He litterly abused my sister like beating tf out of her so she had gotten a divorce.

    No woman fully knows a man when she marries him. Most abuse is done behind closed doors and is kept quiet by threats, intimidation and manipulation. NO MAN has the right to beat or kill his wife. If he kills her, then he must be imprisoned for life as a murderer. Men must respect and love their wives and make them feel valued and special because every human being, male or female, has immense value and is special!!! Come on men -- make us proud by treating your wife like a queen!!!
