Really enjoyed this video Tiffany! I'm 35 and these all still hold up even now. I'd love to add a few myself. ✨1. Don't let family or friends hold you down. We all deserve to be happy and to live our own dreams. Sometimes that means having distance or setting boundaries and that's 100% okay. ✨2. It's okay to scrap an idea and completely redo it. I've often found that the art I made after completely scrapping something was even better from what I originally wanted. ✨3. Bob Ross was actually on to something when he said "happy little accidents". I find that as an artist, the times I grew the most was when I made mistakes! ✨4. Don't be afraid to grow. I feel like artists have the hardest time with this but if you want to change up your style, that's okay. It's always best to stay true to yourself and your own heart when it comes to creativity. Always strive to grow and really lean into whatever brings you the most hippieness. The last thing you want is to box yourself in and lose all your sense of joy. And one more, ✨5. Life is short. Live each day to the fullest and make time for those you love when you can. Live your life for yourself. We only get one go at it, so stay true to your own heart and enjoy the ride. ❤
I love these and so true. I'm paying rent on a studio as my house is not big enough. I'm not getting anything back on it yet so it's out my pocket. I feel a struggle to move forward as people close to me are saying give it up stick with your real job. This is what I've always wanted but anxious to step forward 😢
#18 is important. Its important to talk to friends but also remember to ask permission to vent/trauma dump. If you are a ball of anxiety constantly and constantly going to the same people with the same worries but not doing anything to change that, you are definitely going to exhaust them. I've been on both sides of this. Normalize asking a friend "Do you have space for me to share some worries?" and respect if they say no and don't take it personally. (I know, easier said than done) We're all working through stuff.
Hi Tiff! I am Lisa, 22 y.o. and I quit my job and just started my own small business by selling handmade plush toys. I really appreciate your work and how you show yourself to the world. You know, your advices are so relevant! Currently I am in Poland as Ukrainian refugee and thank you for your words, that made my day ♥️
If there anybody who would like to help me with "start from the 0" - I will appreciate! Small talk during online coffee meeting or 15 min of your time - anything can be helpful ♥️ I believe in UA-cam power 🤞 Kind person, contact me please!
I’ve considered starting an art business for a while, and I’m so grateful to have found your channel! It’s been really inspiring to follow you on your journey :)
Thank you so much for this! I’m 23 & I’m sure we’ve all been through a period of feeling left behind. Just not as far in life as we hoped, figuring ourselves out & that’s ok💓
You have definitely become more confident in yourself from when you first started your channel. At the same time, one of your greatest traits is your humility, which is an ability to say "I don't know X" but at the same time have the confidence to say, "I want to know how and I want to figure this out. " A lot of people are gripped by their self doubt and unless they see the payoff up front before they start, they will not even make an attempt. Sometimes learning is not linear like that. It's fun to watch you grow.
You're so wise!! At 25 I was a blubbering mess 😂 I'm nearly 28 though and just about getting my stuff together. These are all really helpful tips no matter what your age 😊
I am 49 and I loved everything you had to say. Spot on and as someone with a lifelong dedication to making art, these are lesson I have to keep re-learning at different stages of life. What a lovely video and what a wise human you are. ❤️
A lot of the things you mentioned like mimicking, not listening to your body (hunger, restroom breaks), worrying about what your friend is thinking when you hang out are things I can relate to as an audhd adult. I'm glad you've found ways to slow down and listen to yourself. Definitely something that is difficult for neurodivergent people 💕
hey Tiffany! I always enjoy your videos and I especially enjoyed the content/message of this video! I turned 26 in February so I feel like I'm learning the same things as you haha its like being 25 opens your mind up to a whole new perspective. For me the biggest lesson I've learned relates to being okay with letting people go. I too am such a people pleaser and having that revelation opened my eyes to how toxic some of my friendships were. It was hard at first to make the change but they were not supportive and always seemed to put me down. I totally agree that life is too short to be stuck up on things that don't make us feel happy or good about ourselves. And I truly feel so much better about myself and really felt more like who I am supposed to be! Thanks for always sharing your advice, experiences, and processes! Although we're about the same age, I look up to you in so many ways and I truly appreciate you!
Seriously! When I turned 25 it felt like a switch went on. I can totally relate, as time goes by we just want to live our lives in the most uplifting way! I'm very proud of you for learning this!!
Thank you for making such wonderful tips! I'm turning 12 in may and the "not everything has to be original" made me feel less tensed. I'm currently working on my art project for school and you help me get inspired
This year I finally got the chance to start anew and quit my corporate job in the legal world that I've stuck with for 10 years despite being a creative at heart. I'm already in my early thirties but watching this video and hearing these things really mean a lot to me and thank u for giving me a teeny bit of courage! ✨
The anxiety issue was relatable to me. I used to constantly overthink things and it negatively effected my first relationship. Tbh I wasn't emotionally mature enough for one anyway. But thankfully, that past relationship has changed me for the better and I've become a lot more independent in my thoughts. I'm not constantly waiting for someone to make a decision for me or worry about what others think of me. It's quite freeing once you learn that nobody really cares. If they don't care, why should I? Even though I'm only 20 now, I can safely say I'm not the same scared person I was 2 years ago. I hope I can continue to be a bit more fearless each day.
this actually really helps me a lot, thank you for all the tips. As a almost 18 year old trying out for an art career it's so nice to have people like you to look up to
I’m a few years older than you but these tips are all so good! We’re all out here trying our best on this big wild planet, the only constant is change 🌱
i can't remember where i saw these ideas - the 20/80 rule with art, where about 20 percent of your work will be 'good' or 'worthy of sharing,' and the other 80 percent will be work you think will flop, or 'isn't as good.' also the idea that your best work is ahead of you - the worst thing you can do is stagnate! but also learning how to use benign neglect to your benefit. so much of being a person is about balance :)
This is so surreal because I just made a video about fear surrounding turning 20 and not achieving what I want. I really loved hearing all of your tips on art and life--I totally agree that those small doodles when you're burning out are really great in keeping things fresh in your mind. Oc doodles help me survive college I swear
Really great video Tiffany! Everything you said resonated with me, but then as human beings our experiences will be similar, even while we are all different. Some things were good reminders that I need to check in with more often. I think you covered a lot and you certainly seem to have worked out a lot of the stuff at a young age that some of us struggle with for much longer. Thanks for sharing ❤
Here me out: I wish I’d known how to get myself out of bad situations before 25, and all the reasons listed here are part of that. Seriously, everything in this list is extremely vital and crucial to learn early because if you learn it late it causes so many problems
:') so happy to watch all these new vids you've been making!!!!!! also love this video!!!! The content... the filming.. the editing.. the beautiful footage!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year and noticed I’m watching and rewatching them even more often now since I’ve left my job last week to purse my creative outlet as a baker full time🥹. It’s been my side gig for almost 3 years and I’m so glad to have you as almost an online mentor and reminder for things I need to hear going forward 🥹💛
Turning 33 this year, still struggling to feel ok about not being as accomplished/successful as people younger and more talented than me :P the journey goes on.
Here’s a question, how did you find a cpa to help with online selling? That’s the issue I’m having. I totally forget doing human/body stuff though. I have to set timers when I’m too focused so I can take a break, stretch, etc. I’m trying to fix the dry eye I’ve developed over the years for doing computer work for too long.

number 5 is so important, nothing is ever truly original ❤
It was one of the things I had to remind myself so many times!

That means so much to me :') Sometimes when I'm just living my own life, it's hard to actually see the growth sometimes. Thank u!
