- a reflection on life and how the past year has absolutely changed me for the better. at the start of the year, i gave myself a goal to follow my dreams unapologetically for a whole year and even through some major ups and downs, that is what i did. success isn't linear and isn't always a tangible thing, but i came out the other side with a new mindset, personal growth and a confidence in myself. i was able to put myself back on the path i needed to be to follow my dreams.
thank you always for listening and supporting my youtube channel. this is the reason i am able to make my dreams a reality.

"I think I have a bigger fear of being perceived as a failure than the actual act of failing itself" - 🤯
Perceived by who? Others opinions shouldn't be the barometer for your happiness. Others do no think of us as often as we imagine. Parents may set their dreams and goals on their children but that is on them. My daughter is 41, my grandson will be 20 this Spring. My daughter remarried two years ago. I've always told my daughter and grandson, I don't care if you marry the garbage man as long as he treats you with love and respect and you are following your dreams and not someone else's.
@@agl5132Awwww! You are precious for saying that to your loved ones!!! That's reality because this life is short and a construct was created for us to think what success and happiness is. As we can see....it's why so many are breaking up. They don't even know what to consider for a good partner in life! 💖
Same same
Yes that hit me too.
Felt so seen when you said being seem as a failure is more scary then actually failing
"What if success is just doing what makes you happy?" I'm 51 years old and this is my mantra. I wish I'd had this wisdom at your age - I would have been much happier along the way. 😊
i love this idea thx
never too late :)
Absolutely! Success is doing what makes you happy, AND doing what makes you happy will make you successful! 🙌🙌
Feel the same at the age of 31
@@follow.the.dragonflythis is the secret
One of my favorite high school teachers defined success thus:
1. Doing what you love.
2. Doing what you love and getting paid to do it.
3. Doing what you love, getting paid to do it and being recognized for it.
Cheers to doing what you love! No matter what “level” of success you find yourself at.
And also, it will evolve in that exact order, because getting happy first has this amazing domino effect on every other area of your life🥰

Lovely one. There is never a right time. Follow those dreams everyone ! 😊
#4. Showing others how to do what you are the expert at!
@@hobgoblin4614 ohh, love that!
"How easy it is to trade dreams for stability" oh gosh, that made me think. I think i did trade them, thank you for this video
I hope that one day, you'll pursue your dreams! And don't blame yourself for wanting stability at a certain point in life. Alexis herself said it's okay to do this. ❤❤
Something a lot of people don't realize is that persuing your dreams without stable ground is a formula for disaster. You did well. Now that you have stability, you can pursue your dreams without the fear of not having a roof over your head or food in your table.
You don't need to trade your dreams for stability, but stability 100% helps you achieve your dreams.
@@leonardorodriguez9121 I grew that it is a recipe for disaster, but I actually think the reason most people don't pursue their dreams is because they don't have the financial stability to do so. I do agree that the og commentator is likely in a state to pursue her dreams.
I will absolutely trade my original dreams for stability because my dreams and what I want in life changed and now I am so much looking forward to stability to start a family and life for other things than work 🙏🏽
@@dendritolotl I wish you luck! I loved the video's nuanced take about following dreams because stability and the fact that dreams can change are important factors

I just turned 65 and I'm still doing new things and still traveling at will. I've lived in 3 different countries these past 5 yrs and getting ready for another move abroad. People often think they have to pick and stick to one career or home. You can change whenever you want. We evolve several times throughout our lives. Especially women, I've heard every 7-10 yrs we morph and speaking for myself that has certainly been true. Don't look at anything as a wasted time. You may not see it now but later in life you'll see the lesson that experience taught you. For now look at it as possibly simply showing you what you no longer want or need.
I needed to read this today. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. I’m turning 25 this year and I’ve been changing so much lately, but I felt that I wasn’t being true to myself, when in reality I’m being more myself than I ever have ❤
@@TravelingWithDeenee You are young. I do not say this to sound condescending rather cheering you on. Your 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's and upward will be different. So many experiences ahead. Accept the intelligence of your mind but listen to your heart also. Do what you can at this stage in life. Pace yourself. Enjoy the journey and remember not everything has to be immediate. Create that bucket list big and small. Allow yourself to dream.
@@sarahmiller2413 You're welcome. We all need to remember we hold within our own power.
"I learned that dreams can change" got me shivers. This video was really inspiring and I definitely needed to hear that, thank you!
this video is coming in my life in the most perfect timing 🥹 I’m about to turn 26, just got laid off by my corporate job and it feels like the stars are finally aligned for me to go for my biggest dreams I’ve dreamed about for more than a decade 🫢 (!!) and this is how this week I am filming my first youtube video to share my journey as a full time artist (yes, I’m claiming this title for myself lmao) from the very beginning. the end of your video almost made me cry lmao 🥺 thank you for sharing this, gorgeous woman that I don’t know! I wish you the best of the best for 2024 xx
Post that video, girl!! Go for it!
Oh Goodness my birthday is this weekend turning 26 got laid off end of January tried getting a job and it’s a disaster right now so I’m working on my dreams and passions figuring it out.
good luck and much love towards your future success with ups and downs.
subscribed 😉
I suscribed too ! I also posted my first vlog today and this video came just in time to give me faith
yeaaah! I cheer you!! I also wanna start filming youtube again!
“don’t think about what others think” just became my new mantra - it holds me back so much! this video journal reflection is so beautiful, vulnerable, & inspiring.
And as a reminder; if everyone is busy thinking about themselves, they are definitely not thinking about you as much as you think they are 😊
You Go Girl! My son is your age and has been living in NYC since he graduated Kent State University School of Fashion in 2017. He's had some hard knocks, but persevered and is now lead denim designer for two awesome brands!
It’s really inspiring watching somebody chase their dreams unapologetically 😊 congrats on an awesome year 🎉 so excited for what’s coming next!!
Alexis, long time follower here and I love all you do and that said, this is your best work ever! You are a gifted writer and producer as well as actress/dancer/singer. You could easily write your own solo show. I am a professional in our field so I say all this with years of experience! I wish this would be shown to all high school, undergrad, BFA and MFA performers. Just beautiful and so happy for you! Keep writing too :)
I completely agree!
Yes!
Best video ever...you are coming into your own and all you have to offer. I am 63 and still on the journey of discovery and wonder...how lucky we are! And, this is the video from you that makes me so happy for you. Onward!
I love your take on it! How lucky we are that we're ALWAYS in the journey of discovery and wonder! How boring would life be if not... ❤️
You are a natural storyteller, filmmaker, and overall artist. While you're on the road to self-discovery (Pro tip, we're on this road till we transition out), keep being you, because you are meant for big things! Maybe you're not meant to be performing someone else's play, maybe you're meant to perform your own art like you do on this channel? The only other video of yours I've watched was maybe a year or so ago, but I never forgot it. It pops into my head now and then and I always think, 'She's really special, she needs to be making movies!'
Thank you Alexis 🙂… im from the Caribbean and moved to Germany when in was 26. Im 34 now and to be honest even thought im stable now, im still struggling with the thought that not everything went as planed. This is a good (and much needed) reminder that life’s not always easy but we still can find joy in it. All my best wishes to you! 🎆
All the feels. Thank you for sharing. I started a UA-cam super early on, posting whatever I felt and stopped. I actually didn’t even see all the views until others told me years later. After leaving tour as a professional background singer and dancer I never went back. I wasn’t allowed to tape or video anything. It’s weird when you do so much and it’s like it never happened. I think now that I’m running my business successfully years later and out the workplace as well, it’s time to reconnect to the studio.
this popped up on my feed randomly, and i am feel it intensely... i am 30 and i am struggling with the idea of changing dreams but still wanting to hold onto them. i have a 3 months plan atm, work to pay off the last of my debt and save some money, then quit the job that drains me to focus on studying for a more lucrative career that i think i will enjoy. it's weird feeling like i'm letting go of a dream, but i also know it's probably for the best.
hope it goes well for you :) curious what career are you looking to retrain thats lucrative?
I feel you
The part about ego resonated so much. You found a way to describe something I’ve been struggling with for so long, and I just have to say thank you so much. I’m so excited for you and what you’ll continue to do
this was beautiful! Im 33 and have a music degree. Moved from home in 2021 and havent performed in anything since 2019. Maybe this is my sign to start something new . Thanks for sharing
Do it! Just start. The world needs your music. From a random Internet stranger in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
I clicked on this video white noise while I worked on something I HAVE to get out today (the things we tell ourselves, right?) BUT.. I had to STOP and watch and pay attention and listen, really listen.. AMAZINGLY DONE!! and of course a tear was involved somewhere but hey.. don't tell anyone!! haha!! this was BEAUTIFUL!
this is truly a masterpiece! I cannot imagine the amount of work you put into this! I never came across anyone on UA-cam before to whom I could relate to in this way! I literally had to pause your video every five seconds and go back to re-listen to your beautiful thoughts and realisations that you just worded absolutely perfectly!!! I'm just applying for a uni to take musical theatre, and this video is exactly what I needed right now! Thank you for sharing your story as a performer and a wonderful human being! love, Thea
usually a silent watcher but what a beautifully thought out and executed video. this was so vulnerable and relatable.
I don't even know what my dreams are. I am starting to think I don't even have any. That's why it's so hard for me to do anything in life, like get out of my apartment, I just don't have anything to work towards. And then I feel like a failure because I did nothing and have nothing. It's a vicious circle and it's driving me mad.
It's okay for dreams to be small (or start small)! Maybe finding something that clicks for you is a dream to work towards, or even just getting out of the apartment every day or every week. Dreams or even your whole sense of self can get buried under a lot of bs until you don't know who you are anymore. You are worthy of knowing yourself and you're worth the effort that that takes when you get lost ❤
I love how realistic this is. The fear of everything is so scary 😭❤️ I’m so proud of you, you are so brave
There’s so much wisdom in telling your authentic true story. Love to see it!
My compliments about this vlog; YOUR STORY. I think for me personally I got to know you now better than all the vlogs before. You were being honest about your ego, your fears and concerns and how you feel and this at the age of being 26 years young. Love the recap! I can see that 2024 will be your year!
I have felt “too old” since I was 8. I felt that time was passing too fast & I couldn’t catch up and wouldn’t amount to anything (I had to grow up fast). I remember learning that “you’re never too old to start”, but I never found out how to live for myself. What is it that I want to do? Who do I want to become? What are my dreams?
I let fear and defeat paralyze me and trick me into to complacency. I’ve had enough of that!! 😤
Thank you for this video! You’ve inspired this newly 31 person 😊
@8:33 "I learned that no one is thinking about you as much as you think they are, good or bad". I realized this some time ago and it was a big perspective shift for me. Turns out, everyone is wrapped up in their own stuff, just like you are.
I'm not one to often comment on UA-cam videos, but this one hit differently. I'm 27 now, went through a severe burnout at the end of 2022, and felt so incredibly lost. I also thought I knew what success should look like for me and I felt super guilty and disappointed to not be there yet. But you know what? It taught me about my limits, what I really look for in life, and that it's ok to respect your body. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be perfect, you know? Anyway, I also started a blog to get some thoughts out into the world and it really fills me creatively. I wish you luck and more success coming your way!
Just stumbled across your channel. Love this video. I am also 26 and is using the year of 2024 for self-improvement, self-love, and future planning. Next year I get married, so I said to myself, this year is my year. I’m going to make the most of it, try new things, go for it, and try to be a better person. So far, I have run 10K for charity with my colleagues and got a promotion at work ☺️
This was the most beautifully curated video I have watched on this platform in a long time. So honest, raw and thought provoking! I am the same age and also an actor, and this has inspired me in more ways than you could imagine! Thank you for putting your experiences into such a clear and inspiring format. And oooof that final line!! YES!
I feel so seen. This brought me to tears. Thank you for creating this.
I absolutely LOVE your FREQUENCY! Never change! 🙏🏼💖🌹
You're really good at hip hop - I really thought it was your best style from these clips! I am 33 and gave up my dance and theatre dreams long ago, i wish i could back into it, but it feels too scary and too late. anyway, thank u for this vid.
this is the video that changed me and may 2024 be the year of my awakening switch in order to pursue my dreams. i hope to be back in a year. 🎀
I am speechless. That is the content that people are here for. So inspirational and creative. Massive congratulations
we need more people willing and human enough to say more of what you did in this video. thank you for being vulnerable and real
As an almost 26 year old UK performer, this is everything I needed to hear and to see. Thank you so much. ❤
The beginning of the video gave me chills, I felt the exact same when I was 14, like I was too old and too late for everything. It made me give up without even trying because I thought it would not work out anyway since I felt like I was starting too late anyway. Now I'm 18 and I wish I could go back to my 14 year old self and tell her to just start now because she's still so young! I feel like I wasted my teenage years worrying and now that I'm an adult I'm ACTUALLY too late to start learning things
And I would say the same thing to you now! 18 is still young and it's okay to be a beginner even if you are 30, let alone 18. If Vera Wang could design her first dress at 40 you can try new things and start doing whatever you want now. You are not even in your 20s yet!!!
I'm 36 and not sure how this popped up in my feed, but want to share it's great to see you pursuing what makes you happy. We deal with variations of self doubt and fear of what others think of us as we go on in life but it's good to keep it at bay and just do you :)
This was your most beautiful video yet! 48 year old me can tell you that we never really feel like we have it all together at any age. The key is to do what you love as much as you can and enjoy your life. You are doing amazing! ❤
Thanks so much for the inspiring video. I showed it to my mom and you made her smile. My mom is a former Ford Model and ABT ballet dancer turned mom then Bond Broker. Now, for the past year, she is slipping fast into deep dimensia . Smiles are few and far between. So, we show her movies like White Nights for Misha (weirdly I worked with him on a remake of Cabiney of Dr Calagary) and Gregory Hines. But we also show her UA-cam dancers and I showed her your video. She was impressed and smiled. She said she wanted us to compliment you as wish you well. Thanks so much for bringing the “think about the sun” light into the day. My mom took me to Pippin and 10 and we both now randomly quote it daily. Thanks for showing us the sun, and smiles and doing the dance. All our days now are patching the roof and pitching the hey. But, you took my mom dancing today. You made her smile. Thanks.

What a great video. I am not going through the best time ever and inspired me to look back, rethink and go for it again. Thank you a lot, small things like this keeps the world moving
This is such a beautiful video ! And I you said, a step in the right direction, is still a success even though it's small. And often the first step is always the most difficult one of the journey
As a 27 year old actor in LA chasing my dream life this video was very touching❤ keep going you’re doing great just by doing and trying 💕
Hi Alexis as the mother of a 23 and 26 year old I am very impressed with your video. You are wise beyond your years. I will forward your video to my youngest who is an upcoming actor. I wish you an amazing year for 2024!
Wow. The storytelling in this video and the way that I relate to this SO much as a 25 year old. Learning how to accept dreams changing was a hard one for me too. 2024 is going to be such a great year I can feel it ❤
"What if success is just doing what makes you happy?"
Wow, I clicked on this video thinking I did this thing for a year and now I got exactly what I wanted. I was so surprised that this was such a real life video that I could completely relate to and the quotes in this particularly the one above that brought tears to my eyes, tears of joy and understanding and hope ungratefulness for other people being understanding and loving just like I strive to be. Thank you for the wholesome and wonderful reminder that dreams can change and that's okay. That doing you and what you want in this life is the literal definition of success.
I think the goal of life is to not die with regrets
your dance moves are so gracious, seamless, and powerful
This is exactly what I needed to watch today. Thank you.
THANK YOU, it felt like I was listening to my inner voice. I am going through exact same thing and watching this was the biggest reassurance that I didn't know I needed.
That last line... Beautiful. 👏👏👏
I cannot believe this video found me at this time of my life. I'm a 26 year old ex-performer with a BFA in MT that is collecting dust. I worked professionally right out of college and yes of course, 2020 halted all other plans. I had a situation that forced me to quit theatre/dance/singing completely and I cannot tell you how much regret I feel about quitting. After watching this, I feel so seen. The fear of failure, ego, finding comfort in the stability... all things I am struggling with hardcore lately. I just wanted to say thank you for such a lovely video and reflection. I feel very inspired by you, despite this being the first time I'm seeing a video of yours, and I just wanted to say how appreciative I am of your honesty in this vid. Sending you the most love on your journey and thank you again for your words. I can't express how badly I needed this video right now in my life and I'm excited to see where your dream takes you 💗
Super inspiring.. I turned 30 last year and feel like I'm still figuring it out and trying to work towards pursuing all these goals... having a stable career as a vfx artist, producing and being a touring dj, even just started vlogging this year. i feel like ive been working hard for so long and never quite get to where i want to be and its definitely discouraging sometimes and feels like a unwinnable battle. but i'm loving everything im doing, so even if I'm not getting the results I strive for, maybe I'm already successful is just doing what makes me happy. Love this so much, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for putting this video out, it deeply touched my heart to hear exactly what I have been going through from another person.
Just landed on this, first time on your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey, it's quite inspiring. I hope you keep following your dreams and keep feeling what you are feeling. Also great narrative and montage.
Okay. Crying.... this video was inspiring. I feel like ive reinventedd my self and just starting in the youtube world and then I stumbled across this poetically beautifully voiced over post that totally inspired me
This is EXACTLY the video I needed! Thank you for sharing your experience in such a beutiful way!
I loved this. In numerology, 2023 was a universal 7 year. 2024 is a universal 8 year. A time to put all of your hard inner work into external success. 🎉
Thank you for this. Im 25 and this year hasn’t been the greatest for me in professional and personal life whilst feeling so behind where i thought i would be at this age but you have given me hope again. Keep on being you and I love your content so much! :)
Also 25 feeling this exact same way. We’ll get through this❤️
I had a goal of 26 x 26. 26 million dollars by age 26. I did not hit that goal.
I'm now 44.
You still have time. Lots of time. Day by day and step by step.
A random Internet stranger in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado is rooting for you.
You said that you make these kinds of videos for yourself, so thank you so much for sharing this - from all of the old home movies and performance footage to the reflections on 2023, this is such a special video ❤ I don't usually comment, but I've been following since you moved into the studio apartment and it's been truly amazing to see your growth 😊
Good job! That coming from a seventy one year old. Do what you want and follow your dreams hard. Have no regrets later on. Good luck!
this video came at such a perfect time. as a 17 year old who's just started to put herself out there as a content creator on Instagram - this has really encouraged me to keep going. i love love loveee this idea of following your dreams unapologetically. and so proud of you :)
When you're not ready to jump, the world gives you a push! Everything happens for a reason! I'm so happy for you Alexis! May God continue to bless your journey ❤
The quality of your speech and of the video is extraordinary ! Thank you for all the people it will touch.
Live every day.
needed this!! there is something so special about chasing your younger self's dreams as an adult rather than abandoning them. so glad this video landed in my algorithm
So much wisdom and good quotes, really enjoyed this video and was profound than I anticipated ❤
You know what I learned? I love these videos that you share yourself so deeply! I'm old enough to be your Mom maybe even your Grandma and I listened and learned for me too today. Thank you for sharing.
I hope to learn from you. Nothing is linear. Sometimes I feel like I was smarter in younger versions of me... dumber too. I feel wisdom comes and goes and learning ebs and flows ✨️ and I just could not agree more with what you have said here.
I’m 60 yrs old and just love this. You go girl!!! 👏
Your life seems a huge success for me! Thanks for this video!
Thank you so much for having the courage to share your journey, what an inspiration this entire video was and it is exactly the kind of vibrance I admire to adopt and live by! You’re so amazing for following your dreams and I hope they work out just the way you envision them and maybe even better than what you had envisioned! 💗✨
You are young, hard working and inspiring. Thanks for the video.
As someone who has recently been doing a lot of introspective writing, I just want to say how beautiful the writing behind this is. It shows your voice in a way that is easily accessible but completely personal, not something you see often. Please keep doing what you do, as I would love to watch more of these videos in the future.
I'm a 26 y.o. artist in the Philippines and you just said things that hit home. I've always been asked when I'd settle or get a real job - people around me (then) did not acknowledge that being an artist is a job. A job I love. The pandemic was rough that I ended up working in a company again and promised myself it would be the last because the corporate world just doesn't work well with my mental health and the corporate ladder never enticed me. It wasn't my last corporate job, but the job after that was. Now it's been 7 months since I stopped working in that world and thank God my work in the entertainment industry here in the Philippines is sustaining me now. I will not claim it is stable though but my creativity is finally not blocked. It also got better when my community became a group of people who'd support my dreams and would bring a positive force in my life. Whatever happens to our careers or life in general, I hope we choose happiness and not others' opinions of what is. Rooting for u!
I honestly attribute getting out of my recent depressive dip last year due to discovering your videos and feeling inspired by you 🥰 so thank you for that!
As an actress having a sort of lateral experience in Chicago, this resonated so deeply. The "wakeup" year! Congrats on being so brave and keep pushing - you really are living little you's dream life. (':
Loved this video! Us late 90s babies went through it last year. Also in my quarter life crisis 😭 and a covid graduate and that feeling of not living up to your potential is real!
Alexis, you are a POWERHOUSE. I cannot wait to see where life takes you!!
i cannot thank you enough for making this video.
I am so grateful that you created a "save space" in this video, with sharing you journey. I didn't know that I'm not alone with these though and it's so nice to also read about it in the comments. Thak you so much for your videos❤☺️
I love love love this! As a fellow thespian I overstand! Keep persisting, can’t wait to see you on the stage soon, or possibly in an audition! You are super inspiring!✨❤️
This came on feed in perfect timing! Thank you so much!
Wait, your discipline and dreamer mind is amazing, love the magic of this vlog THANK YOU FOR SHARING--ITS ALREADY YOURS;)
I rewatched this video after going on a 10-day meditation retreat and woaw, I came out thinking just how big of an ego I have. It's been limiting me. Thank you for your vulnerability
Girl... I have been a silent viewer for a while but this video... starts with a surprise and ends with emotional tears. :) have been here seeing your life shifts last year and this summary concludes well and your genuine reflections made me also start to look inwards and check up on myself if I had done the same. thank you again for this video, if I could like 100 times I will.
Hello:) as a 33yo (the age my 15yo would expect to have things figured out) I can confirm no one has things figured out at any age😁.. Your approach is incredible! I wish this was my mindset 10 years ago 🙏🦋 good luck
Thank you for such inspiring video...
I am in a process of discovering what i want...
I followed a career and professional experience to follow what my dad did professionally.
I moved to another country december last year, and when looking at jobs (in engineering) i noticed that when i have been called i have been auto sabotaging and not getting the job at the end...
I just discovered that i don't feel connected and i dont want to work in what i used work... and i am right in the moment of discovering what i truly what to do and what would make ME happy...
Thank you again for sharing your experience!!!
😭 thank you for sharing!!
i gave up things i was passionate about to chase what i THOUGHT would make me happy... but in the end i ended up being more miserable than ever and now i just wish i never gave up my hobbies in the first place. this year, i'm gonna try to heal from that experience and pick up my passions again (making youtube vids and art)!! thank you for this video
That was a very well worded video essay. It's nice to see you living your life
you echoed so many of our experiences, thoughts and feelings. this video made me feel not alone!
and if anything - i hope the comments & our appreciation for your talent and hard work will reassure that you too are not alone. and that you have us little people on youtube cheering for you on and who love you for who you are already!!!! rooting for you, queen.
Thank you. I have an almost identical story. Graduated in '19, started auditioning again last year. Got some callbacks but no jobs. Also didn't get some callbacks. Struggling with ego and what people think of me. Still feel like I'm running out of time. And I recognize that those thought patterns are lies and they're holding me back from growth. But seeing someone with the same struggles who is finding joy and fulfillment in the growth I feel like gave me permission to do the same
also when we need to be competitive in this world and when we are surrounded by these kind of competitive people it makes us reside in our ego for protection and success.
Wow I felt this so deeply. As someone who is also an actress but have imposter syndrome about saying that. I have had a UA-cam for 13 years and have nothing to really show for it. I also am 26 and I feel this often. Thank you for sharing!
You're a great dancer! Your video has inspired me. Thank you for sharing.
This is such a wonderful and encouraging video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your journey.
