      I’m starting to forgot more and more about people who I was really close with once and it’s sad because I wasn’t journaling during that time so I don’t have much to look back on. Taking pictures, texts, voicemails, writing letters or journal entries about someone your close with is special because you can go back when you start to forgot and you can everything remember again

    From a 34 yr old that's been married for 10 yrs and has 3 kids. I'll tell you these once you find your person non of your past break ups will matter. In fact your forget you even dated other people. Don't take breakups so hard they won't matter later in life

    • @sunsetfromvenus
      @sunsetfromvenus 2 місяці тому +162

      From a 34 year old who hasn’t found my man and is still searching. Every man I’ve ever dated has influenced me greatly. I’ve learned so much from each of them, they have become a part of me. I would never forget any of the loves I’ve had. I’m grateful for each one and each break up has only made me a better person. It’s like I absorbed the best traits from them while releasing the worst ones from myself. We’re not all lucky to find “the one” early in life. But every love along the way is still worth it

      As a 32 year old woman who’s been with my man for almost 15 years, who did break up in high school for 2 years, I fell in love with someone else too. Or so I thought! Ended up getting back with my boyfriend from when we were kids after graduating high school. We’re still together and have a kid. All my other breakups have affected me and helped me grow in some way. I agree with both of these comments!! None of those other relationships even matter anymore. You will find that one person for you, trust me. Don’t be afraid to fall in love and let it happen. Or else you’ll never know what could’ve/would’ve happened! But your feelings are valid and break ups suck! Just know that you’ll get through this.❤

    • @Anon.7982

      As a 42 year old woman married for 12 years with 3 kid's. I agree with what was commented. It will not matter later on in life. Before meeting my husband I spent from the age of 12 years old to 27 years old in a relationship with the same guy and when we parted ways, (was for the best) we both eventually found our spouses we married and had kid's with. Was it hard breaking up, "absolutely," but we were better off without each other. This too shall pass. God bless you beautiful! 🙏❤️

    the "blank, thank you" hit me really hard, because ive only really looked at my past relationhip with anger and negativity and didn't want to think about the fact that they made me so happy and taught me so many things. because its difficult to be devastated when you're angry. it's difficult to understand that this person was really good for you and made you really happy when you're telling yourself that you hate them. even if they broke your heart into a million little pieces, you realize that that is how you grow as a person.

      Also I love what you said about exploring our individuality and opinions. Feels like everyone on social media is just clones of each other, with carbon copied "personalities" and language trends. No wonder we all feel empty and dead inside! We've got to break free from the hive mind. Read books and journal straight from YOUR heart
      P.S. just got to the part where you said you want your video to make somebody FEEL something and you succeeded haha

I’ve never had an older sister or siblings in general, and I feel like she’s one of those people that fill that void that gap of not being able to ask questions to help me through rough times in life. Thank you Mia for being my inspiration

    I watched this video like 5 hours ago and i'm still thinking about how much this video affected me. Hearing about the journey you made, seeing you be real and show raw emotions on youtube really hit something in me. It was the advice you gave yourself was the exact advice i needed and i still sit here doing diffrent stuff and i find myself being reminded by everything that this video exists and its definetly one of the best ones youve ever made. Sure, i love the aesthetic home cleaning self care stuff too but this is just a diffrent side that i think we should have more on social media. You're one of my biggest role models and i wish you all the luck in the world. I love you mai❤

    omg when i got the notification i was like "ugh i dont wanna hear another girl cry about their exes on the internet" (mind you i got recently broken up with, so even though im okay and well, it kinda brings me a few emotions that i rather not deal with right now).
    well, i was doing laundry a week or so later and i saw it on my yt feed and thought to myself "hm, maybe ill put it to play in the background or something" but girlll the more you talked the more i resonated with you (i was also 18 when it happened) and this was so raw and vulnerable and perfect - might be my favorite video of yours yet. ugh what can i sayyyy maybe i did needed to hear another girl yapping about their exes on the internet so i could understand it wasnt my fault: confused man do have a pattern of trying to mess with beautiful women. i also love love love!! being a girl and feeling so safe and welcomed around other women like you. you're not alone Mai, thank YOU for this masterpiece of midia. Sending lots of love and healing energy from Brazil*!!

      I always thought boys that grow into men not every man is show affection but their first sign of affection is from their mom and it’s unconditional and idk if it’s because how I grew up but I kinda had to earn my moms love by being a specific daughter or person but what I’m trying to get at hear is the love men receive from their mother is the standard and unconditional and if it’s beyond more than what they were given as a child I think they scratch the surface of first love or falling in love, but if it’s less I think they don’t really care. My assumption or opinion. None is facts !

    Mai, I really think I needed this video. I needed it because I'm still in mourning of my own breakup that happened almost two years ago now and I'm still feeling it so hard. This video was a reminder that even though time has passed, the love can still be there. The heartbreak can still be felt even if you're not in the throes of it anymore. It can still shape the person that you are even if you're not the version of yourself you once were, and that's everything to me. You're truly such a strong and resilient person and I'm glad I found you when I did, because you've made my life better by just being yourself and offering your voice to the world. So thank you. Thank you.

Your words feel like actions, it feels like pictures and emotions, not words. Idk I hope you get what I mean but I tried my best to describe it.
    You are loved unconditionally mai. You are your own soulmate. So love yourself ❤🫂

    The way u wrote about him, just literally i could feel your pain through mine.
    It warms my soul that I can relate to someone so deeply whos across the globe from me. Since then I’ve also done a lot of healing and self care, but I’m far from perfect. I’ve suddenly been struggling with that breakup recently, and you helped me feel less alone.
