- The story of my 20s: how I found my way and created my dream life. This is my artist of life journey, and it means so much to be able to share it with you year-by-year like this. I hope you appreciate the beauty that comes from being lost, in simply exploring and experiencing life.
After reflecting on my 20s, I see with more clarity how the struggles I'd faced shaped me into the person I am today. In the midst of it, I felt so uncertain. But in the end looking back, ALL OF IT IS BEAUTIFUL. ✨

I'm 50 and I feel like my life is just beginning!!!
You type really good for somebody in their 50's owo
Good luck for your beginning
I'm also 50, it feels unreal sometimes how awesome life is NOW. Discovering myself with help of videos like this is amazing!
@@iposhformoney same here! I'm about to turn 50 and I was a bit down about it - but have recently had an awakening about how perfect where I am is, and that I have so much wisdom to share!
good luck !!
31 yrs old - still finding myself - and thats ok :D
ABSOLUTELY LOVE
I feel this. I'm 27, and trying so hard to be my own person.
@@katelynbrown98 Believe me you can only find your true self by yourself not by others
I feel like when you find yourself the game is over. Do you know what I mean? 😂 Life is a game of exploration and it ends by finding what you were searching for
You just inspired me 🙏🏻 thank you
"The more you can see stories of success that you can relate to, the more that you will believe it's possible and real."
❤
“It’s okay to be lost”
I needed that
We can all be found by the good shepherd Jesus christ, the son of God, who gave his life for us all
Aileen shows us that success is about taking the first step and keep doing it consistently.. we were all born baby in the beginning..
When you said "it's possible to do what you love" I literally cried.....
💕 yes!! love you
I’m literally crying after watching this.. As a young woman at the beginning of her 20s, I feel so powerful and inspired by your story. It’s totally okay to have uncertainties and I think I’ve found my strength to deal with them. Thank you and hope you the best ☘️
I’m 22 and I feel like I just woke up from the auto pilot mode I’ve been in these past years. I know in my heart that live is so beautiful and a journey and I feel hopeful to start doing the things that truly excite me
Who else thinks Aileen is SUCH an inspiration ☀️✨ she inspired me to start my own channel 🥰
For sure!!
More than that🙇🏻♀️💯🥰✨
@@avneetkaur6745 haha for sure!
I am going to be 18 next year
SUCH and inspiration!
I'm 29 and still feels lost. Your story is very inspiring. I hope someday when I get back to this video and my comment, I finally found whatever my hearts greatest desire.
So it is my love
Same age and same feeling. May the future get better for us!
I'm 27 & am trying to be confident and strong on my own for once in my life.
Same 😩
We are the same age! I hope that all of us find our paths one day =)
I’m 20 and turning 21 in a month. I'm lost and still haven't figured myself where everyone around is so sorted. But I believe someday I'll too achieve what I truly want will be happy & strong.
I turned 16 this year.. I really don't know what to say. Because, you made my life so better. I had so many problems(Still have). But in 2019 I was so lost. I found your channel during the pandemic. I'm following you since then. After that, I learned how to deal with problems and still learning. You helped me a lot to find myself. I've just started my journey, but it got really better. You really helped me during my mental break down and depression. Well, I'm still figuring out the purpose of my life. You're really my inspiration. Thanks a lot. : )
You felt lost during covid at the age of 12 loool son don't things so seriously
@@b1group99 Age never matters, when you have depression or mental breakdown because of problems no one can explain or solve. Everyone faces so many issues, but the thing is how you manage them. We can survive anything if and only we learn to value others, despite their age or infirmity. ☺
Hi Aileen, I'm 37 years old now and approaching my birthday. I enjoyed hearing your success story and am happy for you that you created your dream life. I am at the beginning of my journey. When I look back to my twenties I see a girl who was forcing herself to join corporate North America and today am brave enough to go after my dreams of owning a specialty restaurant.
This is actually inspiring! I aim to one day be brave like you and set my soul free 😌 Well wishes for you and your restaurant ✨
You go girl!
You got kids? A husband? If not better hurry up and settle, those eggs are about to dry out and years 40 to 80 will be long and lonely. Cheers
You go for it girl! ❤️❤️
I’m 36 and a year into my own reset. Peace and good luck! 💕
I just turned 20. I found this channel when I was really sad about my university rejection letters. You are a big part of my life. Right now, I'm learning to embrace my flaws and loving myself more when I feel the ugliest. Thank you
Happy belated birthday! I am sending you so much love. 💓 Life and learning to be okay with, and hopefully love, yourself, is such journey. Wishing you the best on it 💖 I can leave you my email if you would like to chat :)
@@teabubbles4ever hi, I love you! Thank you so much
@@ysabelalaureano9055 💓 you can write to turquoise_bubbles@hotmail.com ! I'm Olivia :)
I am currently 18.
Since I was little I've felt the need to grow past my limits, letting curiosity and intuition be my guidance. When the pandemic started I was 16, and since we wouldn't be able to go outside, I started an inner journey and discovered a lot more about who I am.
But two years later, I feel like I am starting all over again. I've changed a lot since 2019, but still, I feel as if I'm not doing enough.
At this point, I've learned to follow what makes me feel alive, even if it doesn't make sense right now, I am trusting the process and being kind to myself.
I just saw this video and it was reassuring for me, it helped me to remind everything has its own course and I just have to allow my existence through.
I want to say to anyone who has the opportunity to read this, as you scroll through you'll read hundreds of comments about people with different age, different stories, feelings, different paths; I want you to believe in yourself and realize how everyone is right where they are supposed to be, how everyone is living the cause and effect of their existence, which is unique, and if you feel lost or stuck, remember that contrast is necessary so you get to know what you really want, and you're not in the wrong path, what you want is unfolding, and you are making it.
I love you! 💜
Thank you and I love you too. Hope you achieve everything you manifest for 💜
I lost myself lot of times. Finally, at 27, I found something that I want to do for my future. Your story is so emotional. Thanks for sharing
I'm 26 and I'm still lost, confused and panicking that I might reach my 30's w/ nothing but lost dreams. Thank you for sharing your story and it helps me calm a little.
In July I will be 26 too, and at this point I feel exactly the same as you
@@BlackRose-og8zj😂 Let's hope for the best 🤞🤞
I am 27 and just starting to live my dreams again. It’s never too late, as long as you are still breathing you are always “on time” to create the life of your dreams 💪🏻🙏🏻
I am also 26 and I understand what you mean, don't worry, take everything step by step! You will get there ❤️Always believe in yourself and in your vision ✨
@@sangichan Thank you. And yeah, will get there 🥺🤞
I'm 23, and I'm at the point in gathering the courage to live the life that I want. I'm still in the process of recognizing what I really want to do in life, what I can do and also how to forgive myself over my own shortcomings. Trying to be at the state of spiritually connected most of the time and also feeling content!
We can totally relate, it takes courage to live the life you want!! One thing that really helped us was the Ikigai Model, its a straight forward, 4 step self reflection process to help gain clarity on the best path to take. We just made a video about it so we thought we would share in case you have never heard of it! ☺️💛Love that you are also into spirituality, that is something that I (Rach) have gotten much more into this year. Would love for you to check out our channel since you seem like such a likeminded person ✨
I'm 16 and I feel this immense pressure to essentially "find who I am" and my overall purpose. It's something that I struggle with deep down inside, and it's a concept that caused me to have many mental breakdowns over. I look to my peers and it seems like they all have their lives together while I'm still the only one struggling to find my loves, my passions, and my deepest desires. It doesn't help that I have perfectionistic tendencies, which cause me to restrict myself from trying out new things, whether it would be hobbies or interests because I know that since I have no experience in these fields, I would fail.
Oh gosh, don't even get me started about failure.
I don't try anything because I'm absolutely terrified to fail, even when I *know* for a fact that the only way I can truly learn is through failure. Making mistakes and making a fool out of myself is just something that I am afraid of. I'm afraid of disappointing those around me, and I'm afraid of disappointing myself. Lately, I have the lack of motivation to do anything, and it sucks because it's 2021 and I desperately want to get my life together but I just don't know where to start. If I do start, I start blaming myself, saying things like, "You could've started earlier, why did it take you so long to do this?" or "You started doing this so late, your peers are way ahead of you. You'll never catch up, you're too far behind." It's true when one says that one's worst critic is themselves. I can't stop comparing myself to others and I don't know how to stop.
My mind is like a twisted highway of rollercoaster-like roads. I never stop thinking and my mind is bustling like the city streets of New York City or Japan. It's hard to even concentrate anymore and I can't focus on one thing without having to worry about another. I keep having to consciously remind myself to be in the present and to think positively because my mind automatically thinks negatively due to years of it being conditioned that way. I don't even know what emotions I feel anymore because I feel too many all at once. I don't know when I started feeling this way because it's been a while.
My life is so messed up and I hate myself so much. I hate myself so much to the point where it's even hard to have a straight conversation with my own parents. I don't like them looking at me because I feel like they see a monster. I'm a lot worse around my friends or my classmates. Another thing-- I hate complaining to others so I keep all my thoughts to myself. I feel guilty for complaining right now, in this UA-cam video's comments section and I'm debating whether I should hit post or not. I don't feel as if I have the right to act this way, feel this way, or complain this way because my life is significantly easier than some out in the world without clean water, food, or shelter. I feel ungrateful. I feel disgusting. I don't think my life will ever be put together in a way that would make me happy. I just want to be content. I'm meant to feel this way. I'm meant to suffer. I guess that's my purpose in life after all.
You're not meant to suffer!
I think one of the best ways to find yourself is trying different things.
Maybe start by reading some self-help book? I haven't read that many but "you can heal your life" by Louise L. Hay is a good beginning. "The defining decade" by meg jay (I know You're not 20 yet but it might help). Or whatch or read "the secret" if you haven't already.
Just take it easy, it's not a race✨
Youre not Alone.
Youre never Alone.
I can resonate with you on a lot both when I was 16 and now at 25 in different ways. My best advice, is channel those struggles into creating like keep writing! Not only is it healthier for you and will help you sort out the mess in your brain, but you definitely seem to have a talent for it! I am a storyteller but I definitely couldn’t write that proficient when I was 16-still can’t! 😂😅 I also have been haunted by perfectionism that turned out to be OCD (form of anxiety). It can be scary to put a name to the way our brain functions, but nothing has given me more relief than starting the [admittedly long & not really that easy as much as I wish it wasn’t, it’s a process to finally get to a stable point but it’s one you have to start to get anywhere] mental health journey. I recommend looking into reliable professionals who can scan your brain and/or psychiatrists and therapists if you can. Unfortunately it’s not always financially easy to do but I deeply believe everyone should do it. The amount of insight you get from understanding the reasons behind why your mind works the way it does (or if there’s a physical condition that could be impacting it like I would be diagnosed with when I was 16, an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis another long but worthwhile and even life-saving process I went through over the years) is SO life changing. And like I said about diagnosing my autoimmune disease so I could get treatment, it could even be lifesaving so definitely don’t be afraid of looking into it! The anxiety leading up to it is scary of course but the day I was diagnosed gave me so much relief that I really wasn’t going crazy, there were reasons & ways I could use them to my advantage as I tended to them, made it one of the best days of my life. I still remember to this day that is was my first day of my junior year of high school and one of the best but also worst weeks of my life (but cause of other fun things life through my way lololol-those too improved over time). My point is: there’s so much hope my dear! But you are so young whether you feel it or not so you have a lot of ups and downs ahead of you. It will be hard to see in the moment, but they’re for a reason and will teach you soooo much wisdom that you will hopefully get to use to help others or something of that sort (like I’m doing with my own in this very comment) 🥰💕 message me if you need anything dear! YOU CERTAINLY AREN’T ALONE!
PS- definitely look into if you have ADHD (which can be connected to anxiety too). I wasn’t diagnosed until college but I had the same exact struggles you seem to and I couldn’t describe the mess ADHD makes my brain better than you did in your last paragraph! It’s a process to get diagnosed and meds aren’t always the best solution but it helps soooo much to understand why your brain seems to be on overdrive. It makes school a living hell and it’s def not that you aren’t smart, maybe makes you even smarter with all the thoughts and conflicts we have to sort through, but that it’s harder for us to be able to test, etc which our school systems are unfortunately based on. I wish I considered that I had ADHD back in high school, it would’ve helped me out sooo much. So give that a look! But above all, look into putting your mental health first-the pressures can wait I promise and will just keep changing anyways but your brain and body being crushed by the stress can’t. In the mean time look up ADHD help UA-cam channels and Instagram accounts! It will make life soooo much better, trust me 😘 surprisingly there’s even pros to the mess our brains create too so focus on those!
This is exactly what I feel and think in this past month and actually until now. It come and goes you know. I'm scared of myself cause I know that I'm sabotaging my own health physically and mentally by feeding myself with negative thoughts. I'm aware but I just can't stop and it pained me a lot. But now I'm trying to atleast be in control of myself before I drag myself completely down and disappoint my friends and family more. I'm so ashamed of what I have become. Too ashamed that I just want to vanished and wished that I'm not the person that my closed friends and family met because I'm worth nothing. It's so disappointing and exhausted to feel this way, sometimes I just want to give up but I'm still having a faith that I will overcome this. This is just a challenge that God gave me to learn and grow up. I hope you'll have faith too that everything will be alright. We just need to pull ourselves up and keep on going. As long as we're alive we can do something and we can achieve everything we wanted to as long as we are willing to do so. Remember your not alone. Many people also feel this way but their giving their best to be better. Wish you all the best. This too shall pass. We can overcome this. FIGHTING!!
I'm 23 years old, and now just started to pursue my dream. Even though, I still doubt about it. Thank you so much for your video, it's so inspiring ❤️
Same
It's a story of self exploration, adaptation and persistence. And hairstyle changes. And we love it!
Agreed!
Haha lots of hair changes!!
21 and I have no idea what I’m doing, struggling mentally and physically. I am so utterly grateful I came across this. Thank you
Health struggles, whether physical/mental/both are so tough. I hope you are able to give yourself a little bit of what you need, even if it's just one thing each day. 💖 I can leave you my email if you would like to chat :)
I can relate to you, same age and that's how exactly I am as well
@@snuppl512 sending you love + strength 💓
Same. this relieved me that I am not the only one. Cz as everyone here seems to already figured out what tjey want in life, i feel so different. I feel lost. :(
I'm 19, turning 20 in a few months, I feel the same. Mental, physical and emotional health is not doing well. I don't feel like i am in the right place but I don't know what to do either.
I feel like I'm in tears! Currently 25 years old. Working as a kindergarten teacher since 5 years. Watching this give me hopes that things will be fine, ups and down will be worth it.
This video is very motivational. I'm 23 years old and I relate to what you went through at 23/24 so much. Seeing how so many people start working very early to achieve their dreams made me feel anxious lately. I started a youtube channel 5 years ago but lost motivation pretty quickly because I fought with depression. Then I started another one last year in hopes to finally stick to it and to do what I wanted to do for such a long time: be creative. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It gives me hope that I can still achieve my dreams if I start working hard now💕
This girl .... I swear , she makes my day !! Never known or saw anyone like her .......
What a beautiful reminder to NOT be afraid of starting over. Exploring your curiosity and finding your true self. Life is a trial and error. Finding yourself and what makes you feel alive is everything. :)
From a self love content creator to another, what a beautiful video Aileen. I loved it!!! 😍💕
I am so happy & so proud of you Aileen 🤗 I am 22 & feeling so so happy from inside watching this. Thankyou for giving all of us the encouragement. Wishing you more & more happiness & success

I am yours recent follower, your video has changed my thoughts about life. Though i am a student but currently in depression, i was so depressed that i thought my life is meaningless. But after watching this video i have understood everything is possible if i want and its my life i can do anything and everything that i want to be.
Thank you so much ❤❤

@@Theiris92 Thank you! You too ❤
I am 16 from India and right now I am finding myself, and trying to dream and believing in myself that I can accomplish my dreams. I am just finding myself- my like and dislikes , what my dream life looks like.
By the way thanks for this video I learnt that facing problems, getting lost and depressed is okay this is just a part of life which teaches you the most. I am just feeling lost as schools are closed and it's really difficult to go with studies. And seriously work from home is just like fighting with your own self , you have to go against you mind and force yourselves to get to that table and study but it also makes you more difficult.
I also explored myself that I am a pretty good dancer😊
Wishing luck to all those teenager going through difficulties.

HI Aileen, I'm 25. This year has definitely been full of new beginnings for me. Late bloomer in love and got my first boyfriend, only to have broken up two months later and even though it was short, it hurt so freaking much and I'm still learning to get through the pain. Lost my job, lost many friends, all in the span of this year. I'm now finally trying to find my myself because I have been on autopilot for so long. Thank you for inspiring me with this video.
i appreciate you 💓
I imagine someday I'll be able to say to my family "I've achieved the things I promised before mom and dad, thank you"
I'm 19 years old, I'm at the beginning of my journey .you inspire me a lot thank you. I wish you the best😘❤
Same here!

@@letsbethechange1424 the fact that you’re watching vids like this at such a young age shows that you’re already on the right path. I would say try as many new things as possible (especially ones that put u out of your comfort zone) + reflect on how those things made u feel. I’m 18 and it’s hard to do this consistently but like Aileen said be patient with urself. Everything I have done has either been a win or a lesson. Best of luck and much love to u!!

I'm 22. Up until this year, I was existing but not living. I grew up feeling invisible and lonely. I was sad but I didn't even know I was feeling this way because it just felt like me for the longest time, and it's all I've ever known for a good portion of my childhood/adolescent life. But thankfully I woke up and I began to do the inner work necessary to shed my old identity that I became so unconsciously attached to over the years (feeling unworthy, social anxiety label). I became aware of the thoughts that no longer serve me and I created a new self-image that I want to embody. Honestly, I see the world so differently now and I can't believe how much can change once you change your mindset. Although I'm just beginning my journey, I realized that it all starts from within and that you have to believe in yourself if you want to get anywhere special in life.
I’m 21 and I want this to happen to me...
@Moss B aww thanks :)
@@laurielauren trust me, you can totally change your self-image, it's 100% doable. All you have to do is be willing to be honest with yourself and observe how you have been treating yourself, like your inner dialogue, lifestyle choices, etc. Give yourself the space and don't be too hard on yourself. You got this :)

I am 31 years old. In my 20s pursued musical theater and music, and realized that was not my path. Graduated college 2 years ago with a Communications degree. Started a UA-cam channel in 2018 right after graduating. I put myself through school while working 2 waitressing jobs because my parents could not afford to help me out. Took a hiatus on UA-cam to try the corporate life. Hated it. Went back to waitressing. Found out my father had cancer. Went back home to the Philippines to unite with my family after 19 years of being incomplete in February 2020. Pandemic hit. Lost my auntie in April, who I saw when I visited early this year. She raised me and made sure I was able to get a high school education in the Philippines. Lost my father in September. Lots of grieving, forgiveness, healing. Currently on a spiritual awakening and reliving my childhood dream of being an artist. Now also on the path to be a spiritual healer through different healing modalities.
Thank you for being such an inspiration all these years Aileen! I truly appreciate your passion and bravery. You have served as a catalyst for many people. Light and love to you and to everyone reading this! ❤🙏✨

28, I still like I am in the depression stage but I do want to start living the life I imagine. ♡
same situation Dear....I'm 28 too....and always in the depression stage...we will figure it out...it.. just a matter of time....all the best.
I love the "depression stage" hahaha I feel my life is the "depression stage". Like said the other comment... we will figure it out
I'm 28 too! And I'm honestly taking it day by day surrounding myself with the little things that make me happy.
I am 12 still too 👌small but seeing this video, seeing the struggles you've been through but you didn't give up and you were lost but you followed your dreams and followed whatever you wanted to do. I am really proud of you, I also want to live my life like you with and without insecurities, with and without joy. I am honoured to share my thoughts and I wish you and everyone reading this, happiness, joy and success🎉
Wow I’m sooo impressed at how well of a writer you are at just 12! Keep flourishing that, you definitely have a talent and are wise beyond your years! 🥰 Never lose your empathetic, kind heart through the ups and downs of life either! 💕
I just came across to this and felt like I really needed to see this. I’m 28 and still doesn’t know what I want. After watching this, I have the urge to start and to know myself better. Thank you so much Ms. Aileen. You’re such an inspiration.
I'm 16 and I'm working towards building a safe career path for now, so that once I am financially stable, I can work towards my passion and won't have to beg my parents for their support. I respect that they want the safest path for me, but that's not what I want for myself. I want to observe, experiment, break, get up again, learn, become stronger and oh, so much! I want to LIVE. Your life is definitely an inspiration for all of us here, thank you for sharing it.
I hope you don't get too old and tired to do what you actually like :)
Same here
@@amruta8965 ah, thanks. Hope the same...that till I get enough money, I don't lose the time, energy and motivation
Me too, i am 15 look up to you
ill be 16 soon
@@_souldier :) All the best. I hope u never lose your motivation
This came at such a right time. Your message is so powerful and hits home especially while I’m at my lowest now, as I struggle feeling lost and unsure about the choices I’m making about my career and passion. Thank you so much☺️
this whole video makes me so hopeful about my life. Thank you for being such an inspiration
it's truly eye opening to hear your story!! I'm 24 and I've been feeling so so lost and it helps to hear how someone else has found their path!!
Hang in there Sam! This is the time for discovery in your life. It’s hard to imagine a different future outside of our current circumstances but you are exactly where you need to be. Be kind to yourself and journal your experiences to track your journey. If journaling is hard for you, voice memos are a good option.
@@rochellee4458 Thank you so so much! Your message is really reassuring and yes I have been journaling to self-reflect and that does make me feel better about things. Voice memos is a smart idea!! I will definitely do that
Watching this made me tear up :" I feel a sense of pride towards Aileen for taking the necessary steps to create the kind of life she wants. Clearly, it hasn't been an easy journey of self-realisation, but it's a beautiful one 🤍 I hope that one day I too, would finally figure out my place in this world. You have no idea how much hope this video gave me, thank you so much ☺️☺️
I totally agree! 🥺
You truly have a place in this beautiful world - there is no need to search for it, only to discover the beauty of who you are! 🤍The world is blessed to have you in it ☺️
sending you love for your journey
You are not alone ☺. Keep working hard to become the best version of yourself!
24 and ready for my life to really begin. I started the journey and am on my way, but there is still so much I need to figure out and learn. Things are hard right now but I hope I make the choices that will help me grow and that will lead me to my dream life.
I am 21 and wow, thank you for sharing such an inspiring journey. I'm in tears while watching how much you've struggled in the past and indeed all of it is beautiful. I'm really grateful I found this content of yours and I will continue to watch every single of them. And right now I'm a fan!
I’m turning 26 by the end of this year, still trying new things and figuring out what I truly want in life. Thank you so much Aileen! This video was beautiful and it brought me to tears 💗
I'm 19, started college. Currently, I'm walking in a path of God and discovering myself more😊.
Thankyouu you inspires me a lot.💖
I'm glad I'm not the only 19years old who just started the college
Also I'm 25 and this video has made me cry happy tears, I've followed you from the beginning of time, and I couldn't be happier to have found you. You're a blessing and so is your work.
i'm 20, painting major and currently struggling mentally, financially and physically. i'm so glad i decided to watch your videos again after a long time. this really inspires me a lot, thank you so much❤️
I've been feeling lost since I was a kid, not fitting in with society, been bullied through elementary and 8th grade. Looking back I've been through a lot and I think that's what motivates me to just improve my circumstances.
I'm 20 and I'm starting on my journey. I'm taking baby steps and being gentle with myself and letting go of judgement and negative inner thoughts.
It was such a blessing that I've been led to your channel, thank you for all the work that you do 💕
I am 26 and lost in life. I just had a really hard year and looking at my life up to now none of my plans turned out like I expected. Now I'm at this point of my life when I have no plan anymore and it's been really tough on my mental health. I never had a long term job, I always worked and then traveled or study abroad and it made me feel like I had done nothing in life. Looking at the people around me, I felt like I was behind because I don't have that settled life they have but thanks to your videos I realize that I'm not less successful, I just chose a different path and it doesn't make me less worthy than someone with a stable work, an apartment/house, car, etc. It is my path and I don't know where it will lead me but I have to embrace it. Now that you say it, all these past years I thought I was just trying to gain some time because I had not idea (and still have no idea) about what I want to do in life but no, all these years I was actually living my life and discovering and experiencing new things. I think it really is time for me to change the way I see things and experience life and you're helping a lot. Thank you Aileen 💖
omg, thank you so much for sharing your stories. Your words can enlighten me. This year I'm turning 22, feeling completely lost, feeling everythings is too late, not knowing what to do and where to go. But you are right, its okay to feel lost cause it gives a chance for magic to come
my tears was falling while watching this. I’m still 17 but I already wanna change, grow, and be the best of me. I’m so thankful that someone recommend me to you. Pushing my self to do your meditations, I can say that it’s one of the best decisions I made.
I'm 15 and I'm at that point in life where i question myself,,, who am i? what am i supposed to do in life? Thank you for this video, and tbh for every single one you've had, because you really inspire me a lot as a person
Same
Same. I have a dream life envisioned, but it seems impossible to achieve, and I am getting a bit concerned.
@@yesno8785 i think everything is possible if you really believe in it and really want it ^^ wish u good luck
I'm 15 too! And honestly I can relate to every word you said
Same
I am literally in tears. It just seems like divine timing that this is your first video that I stumbled upon. There are sooo many very stark similarities between our stories:
-the college internship that was a clear fork in the the road
-the decision to figure it out upsetting your family
At early 23 I am still in the fog of uncertainty and exploring, in the trenches of creating a life I love. I set my intention for this era of my life as ‘Action in Alignment’. Thank you so much for sharing your light! This video really resonated with me (I am literally in tears 😭 ), want wait to be at a place where the struggle feels more beautiful but you have inspired me to embrace and document it more for this time is teaching me so many beautiful things!
Okay I’ll stop boring everyone now, sending love 💕 and light ✨ to everyone who reads this 😊
I'm feeling so emotional as I'm watching this video, I kinda relate with it , im in my 20s and im still figuring out my life. Aileen you are an inspiration
This is amazing.... I'm only 16 rn, I have a lot of ideas, dreams, and get inspired easily but it's always difficult for me to take action without procrastinating or getting bored. I was always scared of what life would be after high school, after college, when I am officially an adult. It is even hard for me to accept that in a few months, I'll be 17. But watching your journey gave me feel a sense of calmness, a feeling that "it will all work out". THANK YOU so much Lavendaire, you are really a big inspiration since I found your channel 2 years ago. Thank you for bringing back the spark of excitedness (is that a word? lol) for life 💗😆✨
I'm 22, I'm just beginning to start my journey. I feel like I'm worthless bcoz I wasn't making any progress for the past years. I'm so lost till now. but after watching your journey I feel like I'm not alone 💜
Same
As a 20 y/o in college, I feel this sentiment
“Not making progress” doesn’t make you worthless. u can’t change the past but u can start from here❤️
I'm your age and I feel the exact same way. You're not alone💕 we'll get through this, okay?
@@sarahbhg7233 thanks for the support 😍
Man this video was a real hit here. 21 years old. I've been doing youtube for 6 months now. I love creating videos, talking being in front of the camera and vlogging. I just love sharing real moments of life with the people around me & watching videos like that. But somehow I often reach the point where I think "do I even do things people could like? Am I not good? Do I suck that much at what I do?", it's challenging while it's my last year of university with LOTS of work, being stuck at home and doubting myself so much. But that won't stop me from dreaming and praying for my dream life. I know I'll get there! I can feel it. I can go against my thoughts, create stuff I like and live the life I want to.
I'll get there. I believe so.
I was absolutely transfixed by your soothing voice. I easily fell into your story, listening intently to each word. An overwhelming sense of emotion poured over me, as I watched your story unfold. You are an incredible story teller. Congratulations on your success! It is without question, well deserved. Stay beautiful always
I come back to this video so often when I just need a reminder and cry cry cry. Thank you for sharing your story, I relate in a lot of ways.
I'm 23 and while I'm not experiencing severe depression as I did a couple years ago, I still feel lost. It's okay though, because at least I can now breathe and I know that I'm finally, and confidently, starting to build the foundation for my future success 💜
I’m 22 years old and I’m most definitely in the part of life where I think I know what I’m doing and where I’m going, but at the same time feel lost and anxious and like I’m doing everything wrong.
You’ve helped me a bit honestly. It gives me hope that I’ll find my path! Thank you 💓
Am at the same age of yours and feeling the same ... i hope we will find our path soon❤❤
I am 29 and I felt like I m in the starting stage. Sometimes I felt lost but after watching your videos, I got motivated and I believe I can do it and find my life again. Thank you, Aileen. So much love from Burma.
I am 20 , I found your channel and I was in the worst case for me, I thought it was the end for me until I watched a video of you and it was really good effect. I didn't expect this change to happen to me. I thank you very much and I love you. 💗💗💗
I am now at a stage of my life as a task and I must think clearly about it so that I do not regret it later.
"It's okay to be lost and it's okay to not have everything figured out, that is the space when magic can enter and create more exciting lifestory"...❤️❤️❤️ Loved it
I love how your Friends and Boyfriend helped you through the journey and they gave you the support, love, and encouragement you needed
it never impossible, it just a slow process with a lot of ups and down tears and blood wow.
thank you with all my love
I have been feeling super unmotivated, insecure, scared and just doubtful about myself these past few days. Aileen, I needed this more than ever. Thank you for this beautiful video and message. I am 21 and find myself feeling like my time is waisting. However, you reminded me to stay conscious and present and to believe in myself no matter what. To go for it no matter what doubts I have. Thank you for this 🤍🤍🤍🤍
"Through knowing and embracing fear and uncertainty, I found freedom and with that, I came alive" wow
I’m 24😭 and I literally feel my life reaching a point of true alignment! I’m in tears -thank you for this I feel so hopeful for my future 🙏🏾✨🌸💐
Oh my gosh. I am so grateful that I watched this video because I feel like so many things you've said just hit me and I was like, "Me, too. I don't know what to do with my life." But after watching so many of your videos, I am inspired to pursue what I want without really thinking of what other people would think of me.
This was absolutely confirming. You can restart and reimagine you life at any age. Spent my late teen & early 20s raising a baby. Now, it’s my time to discover what is next for me. So appreciated this video. 🙏🏽💕🦋
I just wanna cry watching this. THIS. This is a proof that we dont need to live up to others' expectation 😭😭😭😭♥️♥️
True❤
I'm 22 and have been feeling like all of my dreams have been thrown in the trash since quarantine started. I've felt like a failure since I couldn't hone down which type art I should pursue and if I can ever live the life I want. This video is so inspiring and is a great reminder to take one step everyday and to never give up. That it's possible still. Thank you!
So much growth so young. I am 35 and struggle with feeling behind and empty. I don't even know what I want anymore. I'm so impressed.
this was so inspiring Aileen! 💖 this push to believe in me is so appreciated at this point in my journey. Sending lots of love!
27, just found my purpose, going ALL IN for my DREAM LIFE 💜
I just turned 20 and so lost with life i dont know what I should do next. To see where you started and what a wonderful person you become is really motivating and i hope that in 10 years i also have figured out what my path looks like.
This is the most beautiful video on youtube. I'm 19 in a week, I'm at the beginning of the trenches creating the life i love, just passed the lost beginning time so I understand the difficulties of it. How exciting!!!!!!!
i cried wathcing this. im 21 and much like how you descrubed it. full of ideas of myself but no path to follow. but attempting to get myself together. and i would like to thank you bec i am gonna take your advice and learn with you. and for anyone reading, we have a long way to go and it feels lonely, but we will get there
