    Wow… thank you so much for this video… I can relate, I’m 33 and still living with my folks. Was feeling down and discouraged cause life has become a standstill, I see friends graduating from college, or getting engaged and married. Of course you are happy for them, however you do have that voice in the back of your mind saying… when will it be my turn? It just seems my life is in a revolving door… and when you have folks that need help with things, is even tougher on you cause you have to put your own life on hold…

      You're welcome, Seth. There's no rule that we all have to live the same lives, 'achieve' the same things, at the same timeframes etc. It's just our annoying society and world-wide culture. Because of it, that feeling / thought at the back of our minds will probably always be there. Regardless of what we have, I guess we have to remember that those things don't define our self worth and at the end of the day, we leave this world with nothing. Gratefulness and content in every circumstance is what we all really should be aspiring to. 🙏🏽

    I'm 31 and still living with my mom. I've been financially stable enough to move out but honestly I don't have any close friends at this point in my life; my mom is the only person I talk to. I feel like I would be much more sad/lonely. Also she seems to get upset when I've talked about possibly moving out, maybe cause my parents split and my only sibling died she feels like I'm all she has left.

    • @TheWellnessAbbey
      @TheWellnessAbbey  2 роки тому +5

      Your heart is telling you you'd be happier staying at home- so stay. Don't move out just because that's what society expects of us. We make the rules in our lives- not society or peer pressure. I understand your feeling of duty. When you eventually move you may decide to stay close by or even for you and your future partner to live with your mum - I know people who do that in their adult lives.

  • @sweetandgrimm
    @sweetandgrimm 2 роки тому +21

    I have lived with my mom since forever I am 40 now and since my mom is older I have become her caretaker as well. There is nothing wrong with living with your parents as long as you help them financially or at least in other ways. People always think that getting married and having kids is just something everyone has to do. It actually isn't I'm single and I'm happy just saying everyone is different and if you believe that being married is something that will make you happy then more power to you.

    • @TheWellnessAbbey
      @TheWellnessAbbey  2 роки тому +3

    • @mickeydemas
      @mickeydemas Рік тому +3

      I see nothing wrong with this if your parents aren’t toxic. I’m 26 now and I’ve observed that my parents generation (some of them) just aren’t aware of the ways in which they have unknowingly hurt us growing up and because of that lack of self awareness, they fail to understand why their child cannot wait to move out. Everyone I know moved out for piece of mind. I am trying to do the same. Not every family provides that.

    I'm not exactly ashamed for living with my parents at the age of 24, I'm ashmed and tired because I don't know wtf I am supposed to do with my life. I feel like I am not worth of living in this world. I feel like a burden to others and to myself. I don't know how to grow up resilliance: I am too sensitive and fragile. I don't have any friend, never dated, never nothing. I want to quit.

      I feel you, Danilo. We probably won't find out what our purpose is unless we try multiple things to see what fits. Maybe that should be our life mission- trying a breadth of things just for the experience and not for the pressure-inducing reason of Finding our purpose. Don't quit- maybe life is about the journey and not about the destination. It's a mindset perspective change xx

    Loving your content at the moment. I like to plan ahead which can be both good and bad for me. I would love a video on what you would say to your 21 year old self or people in their 20’s. I’m 21 and I feel so behind and In my mind I’ve already decided that it’s too late for me to find anyone and I have to do things in my own now. It’s like I’m stressing myself out about the pressures about marriage and kids before I’m asked about it which I know is going to be soon (worst i think it’ll be other relatives than even my own parents first). Although I’ve been planning to save and buy a house Probably 5-6years time to hopefully distract from all the questions. It’s just hard when society makes u feel ur not where ur supposed to be all the time.

      Thank you, goddess. Planning ahead is good :-) I'll add that to my filming list! Hun- you are NOT behind (none of us are as long as we keep our eyes focused on our own journeys). It's possible for you to literally find someone, settle down / get married in a year, and feel 'settled down'- it doesn't always have to take years. I think it's wise to plan financially like you won't have anyone else to rely on but keep the hope simultaneously that you'll meet your life partner in divine timing- when both of you are ready to come together. If you can, limit contact with those relatives as much as you can- not much good can come out of those conversations sadly.

I wasn’t trying to make her uncomfortable she knew I liked her so I don’t understand, Then before this I tried to talk to her but she had someone and I told her I respect that relationship then her boyfriend died then I wanted to reach out to her and talk to her but I could’ve mustard up the courage again so I kept admiring from a far hoping some amazing miracle shit happen , I never had a real relationship, now she think I am weird and she said why I didn’t say nothing that I liked her because I wanted her love Frfr but I didn’t want to be rebound at the time ,but she always caught my eyes but she said stay df away from her and My heart was broken for a 5 days and it kinda heart broken but I am healing tho , people don’t understand that men don’t have many options, all it takes is a women to show love and compassion conversations , then the man will be real real,
