    In your 20's you have all the energy but make some terrible decisions. In your 40's you have the sense to make good decisions but have no energy left to carry them out.

Then I had to drop out to help my mom take care of my terminally ill grandfather, who passed away 5 months after my 21st birthday from lung cancer. First part of my 20's, except for the loss of my grandfather, we're not entirely bad. Mid 20's sucked (really bad relationship). Latter 20's were alot better (dumped psycho ex and met my now husband).

      @@Destiny-vg9bx Gosh, thanks for asking. In my 20s, I couldn't get a date to save my life. I was still in school, and unsure about the future of my career. And I was a lot more foolish than I am now, and that foolishness caused me a lot of emotional pain. I don't think it is a stretch to say that young people are naturally insecure, and I definitely was.
      Now, I have been a pastor of a Baptist church on an Indian reservation for the past ten years. I am a teacher of Lakota language at our local Christian school, as well as its chaplain. I am married, to an AMAZING woman. I am respected by most of the people I know, and some of them even come to me seeking advice. I have goals, for sure, and I'm definitely not done living yet. But I can honestly say that I'm happy with my life. In my 20's, I couldn't say that.

      @@Destiny-vg9bx I hope that your therapy helps, Destiny. If I might venture a little advice, speaking as an older person:
      The problems that threaten to rip your sanity apart in the present will seem a lot smaller in the future. Time and pain have the cumulative effect of giving you a lot of perspective. I say this to give you hope: it gets better. It does.
      Make the most of every day. While you are young, embrace the difficult tasks that seem unpleasant or boring, but that you know are good for you. Develop your spirit, your mind, and your body. Concentrate your efforts on becoming the best version of yourself you can possibly be. In doing so, you will be making your future life better. You will literally be “doing yourself a favor”. Your future self can’t thank you for it, but they’ll want to!
      Finally, I don’t know your spiritual belief, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t important. Everything in this world is in the process of dying, or wearing out, or falling apart. You could spend your whole life chasing happiness, only to find that it doesn’t last. But the joys of Heaven, and the riches that exist there, will never go away or wear out, and can never be stolen. If you secure eternal life and eternal joys while you are still on earth, you will be very wise. I recommend that you begin by reading the Gospel of Matthew. It changed my life forever.
      I’m glad you reached out to me. It is so rare that I get to have a thoughtful conversation in a UA-cam comment! You seem like a delightful person, and I hope your future self is even happier than I am.

      I agree with Benfarrar! (What an amazing turn of events, too!) My 20s were all insecurity, anxiety, and clinical depression. On and off therapy throughout finally got me thru the veil of the the worst of mental health to managing in my 30s and now I'm learning new things about myself, while also recovering from burnout. I'm on the cusp of 40 and going thru another life transition, and that's the thing - life keeps changing, so do we, it's hard, but we grow.

    As a 41 year old woman, I 100% relate to this. In my 20’s I thought I was invincible. I could sleep anywhere, any time, literally ally ways and cement floors lol. I had all the “best friends “, I used to hang with everyone! I could drink copious amounts of alcohol until 4am then pop up from wherever I had passed out and go work an 8 hour shift at 7am. Often still drunk lol, but with no problem. Now if I have one ONE drink I feel like hell within the hour. I need a full 8 hours of sleep to do anything productive the next day, and if it’s not sleep in MY bed there will be no sleep, any little noise wakes me. I have one friend who I see regularly and that’s because she’s my roommate, other than that, I have no interest in hanging with anyone else and roommate and I rarely hang. My back aches and I have found out I am certainly not invincible, all those poor choices in my 20’s have caught up with me heath wise. Oh and sunscreen! I never wore sunscreen!

      This speaks to me too! I'm 25 and I know some may roll their eyes at how could I possibly have the audacity to feel old but I really do and I'm really struggling. I'm not stupid and I know what I'm thinking is not true but I still think it and feel it for some reason. A few days I even kept thinking that I'm old and sick and dying so noone will marry me. I'm not joking, it's what I was genuinelly feeling even though I simultaneously knew it wasn't true and was ridiculous. And noone in my life ever perpetuated the notion that this is an old age to marry so I can't say I've been fed such thoughts at all. It's all me for some reason.
      A few days ago I looked at myself in the mirror and was like ok insteas of looking at the fine lines and how the texture of my skin has changed recently why not look at all the youth in my face? So I did. And I saw I still have a very youthfull face. Then after some time I decided hey, why not enjoy my youthfull look while I still have it. Why fret over how my husband won't enjoy it (bcs in my head I'm nearly convinced I'll marry very late) which won't change that anyway and why not just enjoy it for myself now? Fretting over it doesn't change anything and I still have years left to enjoy it. Why not just let go and enjoy it.
      I don't know why I have such strong emotions over things _I even know are not true,_ I'm working through it a bit and seeing where it comes from but I have a long way to go. I guess I just wanted to share. Let's enjoy what we have now because it's the best we can do anyway. Fretting over what we used to have or what is slipping way does nothing but it does however steal our joy of the present.

      I build a pillow fort around me. It consists of 2 king size pillows, 1 regular size pillow and a body pillow. If I feel the need to sleep on my right side I have to wake up and move my pillows too. I hate it but it is needed to wake up ache and pain free.

    OMG, this is ALL so me! Especially the early bedtime, pillow system, and throwing out my back or dislocating a rib just by reaching for something. It reminds me of my favorite lines in the Chenille Sisters song, "Help! I'm Turning into My Parents" -- "On Friday nights I just collapse. My Happy Hour is a nap. I used to party, drink, and smoke; but now my body just says NOPE!!"

    I just turned 40 a couple of months ago and, yes, every day it feels like I get hit by a bag of hammers! My energy is gone and I can barely stay up passed midnight on a Friday night.

  • @chroniceverything

    Relate! I think this man hit me extra hard because I am a mom to six kids: right now the youngest is 5, the oldest is 24. I had my first as at 18 years old and I gave birth to my baby when I was 38 )which is perfectly reasonable nowadays). But comparing the energy I had to parent when I had four kids before my 25th birthday and then, when I got remarried he and I had two children and they were born in my mid to late 30s just the energy is so hard; however I can definitely say I am a much wiser mother at this age (currently 42) BY FAR. I can sincerely say there is no right or wrong time to have a child every single age has its pros and cons but holy cow I am related to this video so so much I relate to like almost all your videos but this one was like whoa, well done.

    I'm almost 38. I hurt my neck in my sleep when I was 35, and had to sleep on the couch with three pillows just to be able to keep my neck from hurting for a week. My knees alternate days when they hurt, but I am almost to that stage where I don't give a hoot what people think of me. It truly is amazing.

    All I can say is, just wait till you hit your 60's! Enjoy those 40's while you can! Can't travel any more because the Hotels don't have the correct pillows for my pillow system, or the correct bed for that matter.

    "reached for my coffee weird"
    I tried to lie on my stomach to read in bed last night and then spent 5 minutes writhing around trying to get rid of the side stitch. You turn 30 and it's like your body flips the lights - closing in 10, heads up - and then at 40, your body goes "Okay, so we're agreed, this one's had their chance to spread their genes, let's shut 'er down."

    So true! I remember suits my pediatric residency (ages 26-29) being completely content to lay down on the conference library table for a 20 minute nap Because that’s all the sleep I might get in 36 hours

    The "all you have to do is send in a picture of your feet." Had me rolling. However I have to say even in my 20s I didn't like living somewhere sketchy. Maybe cause my mom made me paranoid. The horror stories of being found dead in a ditch somewhere.
