@@geraldleuven16910% of >1,000,000 (the average no. of eggs a woman is born with) is still >100,000. A woman will have the most eggs she is ever going to have as a fetus in her mother's womb. It's not so much about being 30 and all of a sudden you "hit the wall"- more like a biological, natural, gradual and very(!!) individual process of a number of eggs being released everytime you ovulate over the course of your reproductive life span. All you need is 1 genetically normal egg for fertilization, pregnancy and live birth. Hence why women in their 40s, in rare cases even 50s, are still able to have healthy pregnancies and successful live births. It also mainly depends on (the age of) the woman. The majority of 30 year olds are still very fertile. So tired of these Andrew Tate-y buzzword phrases.
And no, this is not a "cope". It's reproductive endocrinology. Less time on reddit and red pill forums and more time listening to scientists who have gathered evidence and data will burst a bubble or two.
I’m turning 30 soon and this really resonates with me. I tried very hard in high school (AP classes and all), then tried very hard in college, and have to tried to excel in every single job. And yet…..I feel nothing. Like dust in the wind. No real sense of accomplishment. No real sense of doing anything at all. A few people know me. No one outside of that small circle does. I survived. I made money. I was “busy” I look at pictures etc from my 20s, and I see myself gradually aging. I can extrapolate this out into the future….turning 35…turning 40. I’m “wise enough” now to see what’s coming. And it just fills me with sadness that “this is what life is”
When you are quality over quantity, then you get to be more grateful about what you put your time and energy into. (Or your efforts if you feel like you have no energy). There is so much to life, when you try to make the most of every moment
Hi Joey. This is my first YT comment ever, but I really resonated with the things you wrote. I absolutely relate with your experience. I have the exact same feeling about life in general. Sometimes the feeling of emptiness is overwhelming.
I was born on march 21st, 1995. And for the first time I understand what adults meant when they said "time flies by". I´m scared, but I´m glad I made it this far.
Love this, Lana! We all go through thoughts like this. You are still very young and have the whole world in front of you! I'm 63 & still trying to figure it all out. I've always had goals and changed my life many times over the years. It's all part of this amazing journey we call life. Enjoy each day & I hope the very best for you. You have achieved far more than most 29 year old's so keep up the great work! BTW, sometimes lost is ok. It makes it fun when you find yourself again.
“Your world has a safety net. You aren’t in freefall, and you never will be. You treat mistakes as final, but they almost never are. Pain and scars are a part of the path, but so is getting back up, and getting up is easier than ever.”
I'm 28 now, and I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I used to be a procrastinator, but I've learned that living in the moment is the best way to enjoy a peaceful life. Thank you Lana for this video! Sending love from Sri Lanka 🥰
"The more of the world that I see, the more lost I feel". Can't describe how much I loved this entire piece. The Sylvia Plath fig story, goals becoming more day-to-day orientated, every part of this was just beautiful.
I actually got really emotional during watching, because it made me realize how gratitude changes your whole reality and how little we actually practice it. Thank you for the reminder Lana, that was lovely!
I'm back at home where I first found your page 2 years ago and binge-watched all of your videos. My 16-year-old self has been admiring you ever since. I liked and still like how well-spoken you are. You make me want to take a journal and start putting my thoughts into words so that if I want to revisit my past self, I can simply open the journal. Now, being back at home for summer holidays, feeling the hot air and watching your videos brings back feelings I can't put into words. Your voice and choice of words harmonize beautifully with my heart's melody. Watching and listening to you is such a blessing. I love you for what you make me feel, even though sometimes those feelings consume me. They still help me feel alive, which is what I strive for. Thank you, beautiful soul, for existing. It really means a lot!💞
I relate to this alot. When i was 16 i just thought i was "the shit" and nothing could stop me. now in later 20s, the way i view the world is insanely different. from say 15-25 i felt like i was standing on the harbor and waiting for the sailing ship to take me on this great trip in life, now im finally out on the ocean and i see no land in the horizon, i just hope im going in a worthwhile direction.
I just turned 28 and have been feeling unsettled about having no grand goals like my early 20s. Your video brings me so much reassurance! Thank you Lana
Feel you. Freelancer in the film industry, just turned 31. I still see my child in the mirror. Working on feeling present more than anything else. Choosing actively to slow time down. Working on my diet, my body, trying to be softer for me and for everyone I love ❤
Is it a coincidence that your videos always come in the right moment for me? I've been thinking about my future for many days but today I just felt a bit more LOST.
I’m 22 now, I’ve been watching your videos since around 19. You are the only blogger I haven’t skipped a video from. Since you are a bit older than me, you talking about getting older and about those questions of age and goals really makes me feel like I have an elder sister, and that it’s not that scary, to go into the future. Because I can watch you do it, and you do that so authentically, being yourself. Thank you so much for your sincere videos, they always make me feel better. Always ❤️
Thank you for this, Lana. Being 26, i've been slowly starting to think about this, about the life path that i feel i should be pursuing, the stark contrast "with what and where i should be heading". This video and your words have brought great comfort for me. As always actually. I have to say, the beauty of your thoughts have accompanied me for quite some years now. I remember very well the first video i’ve watched from you. I was sitting in a coffeeshop in a late october or november evening in 2019, after college classes, watching “why i’m quiet”. Having always been a quiet guy, society has always make me think my quietness was something very (too) strange. A society that i’ve understood now to be way too fast, way too loud. Years later i feel much more at peace and the beauty and preciousness of your thoughts continue to leave a bright impact on me. Being just 3 years younger than you, you’ve always been like this example for me that is paving the way and that i know i can trust because of the similarity of our thought patterns. Not only have you made me feel okay with the ways i feel in my younger years, but you’ve made me see the world the way you do, as i deeply related to your thought patterns this whole time. About life, about nature, about seeing the preciousness hidden in the simplicity of Life. Which in reality is not so hidden for the one who’s willing to love, open their ears to the singing of the birds and their eyes to the grass being caressed by the wind. You can say that you have brought great comfort and helped enlighten the hearts and minds of countless other human beings, you certainly did for me, and that by itself make all the "things one should have or do by age 30" pale in comparison. Above all what is deemed "success" by a society that has forgotten to value what matters most, the impact of the thoughts you share on here rise above it all. May you bless many more souls with the beauty of yours, dear Lana :)
Hi Lana! I’ve been watching your crafts for 2 years now and it's helping me a lot heading the roads of me. Thank you very much! Sending you love! From the Philippines:) I once heard these beautiful sentences crafted by a TED Talk speaker and it still marked in me. “I have come to believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a dream. Its most important purpose is to get in touch with where dreams come from, where passion comes from, happiness comes from. Even a shattered dream can do that for you” I just turned 20 this year and am about to graduate in a year, and felt so lost. But I’ve come to realize that I’m already living my dream, filling my day with smiles, and laughter, and being able to see art in small things, you know the not-so-little and I resonate with what you said, that we can bloom even we are not in our sweet spot if only we allow ourselves.
Lana has such a good understanding of how life actually works. Many influencers are chasing money and fame more than anything else. Lana goes against that narcissistic nonsense, and it's quite refreshing.
Consummate film-making. Beautifully planned, shot and executed. Been following Lana for a few years now and her film-craft has never been better. Capturs a generation of young people and their thinking. one of the best in the domain here. Many thanks Lana
New follower here. Interesting to listen to your thoughts about life! I am a 65 year old man from Sweden 🇸🇪 that did a 6 month journey around the world on a shoestring when I was 24 years young. That was one of the best things I done in my life and gave me a healthy perspective of the world and our lives as human beings on this planet 🌎. You are young and beautiful and have already acquired a mature perspective of what is important in life. As I am now entering my last years of life it’s becoming more and more important for me to prioritise the small things in daily life and keep on with painting, writing and discovering the beauty of our world and the creatures in it.
You are so eerily similar to me that it’s tripping me out right now. From an almost 30 something probably halfway across the world from you, I know exactly how you’re feeling and thinking because I’ve thought and felt all those same things hundreds of times.
I resonate wth you! I'm 31 I realized a lot from being in the dark and rough roads. I'm changing my career but my goal is to be faithful in everything and just let everything happens to me. Hoping it's not all pain and suffering. In my heart I was ready to create a world filled with deep love joy, healing all around. The world is so pretty but the society is so ugly. It's good to be in solitude and enjoy the time you've been given. We humans are like flowers we wither. One day here next gone. It's important to have inner peace, inner healing. Doing the inner work. Gratitude makes things look a lot prettier. To live at peace with everyone is a challenge cuz a lot of people are turning narcissistic. So once in awhile it's good to spend time with nature and with yourself just doing nothing. And watch the world go by in silence. You'd hear alot. You'll feel purified just to close your eyes and desire nothing but peace and just go wherever God is leading up too. Not to live by human standard and going for the usuals as if life is like a grocery check list you don't have to do what others are doing. Focus on eternal things. Thats with value than what can be easily destroyed material 3D. Spread ❤Love. Gentle and be more mindful and listen more. For all of you here: I love you and I pray for you all to make it up to where you wanna be 🙏✨😁 sending you Genuine Joy, abundance and loveee. Take care of your soul, it's the most precious
I cannot express how beautiful this video is and how greatly comforted I feel right now. Your words and videos mean so much to so many individuals worldwide and I always feel a little wiser and a little more grateful after each one! Thank you for reminding us of the little things, as they truly aren't little. I wish you a beautiful week, month, year, and life Lana! :)
Right after the fig story, when you mentioned that you still wanted to visit Japan I literally felt goosebumps. I studied Japanese back in university and I still feel like I never really fully committed to the idea of this compelling dream of mine to visit Japan and explore the country. Now, in my mid 30s the desire is still there, however, I feel as the constrains of social norms and life itself deter me from embarking on a new adventure/chapter. I am not even sure why I am sharing this under your video. I suppose I just wanted to write it down and share a glimpse of myself. Anyway, such an organic and beautifully structured video delivered in an easy to digest manner on a deeply resonating existential subject.
Sometimes you wanna thank UA-cam for introducing us to such positive channels glad I found this channel as recommendation been following you for 3 years ❤forever grateful
Your mindset is so inspiring. I’m definitely on the other side of the spectrum, but I think being a bit more like you would let me chill out a bit more about everything 😅
Sometimes things take time, universe sends signs and signals to make us deserving for what is ready for us in future. We are all just going towards our goals, some bit by bit, some too fast. Thank You Lana! Stay Blessed 🌸
I loved the fig tree poem / analogy. I could relate to a lot of what you said. You did it so beautifully. I stopped being a dreamer a long time ago, unconsciously I think, perhaps because of many reasons, a big one being often disappointed by reality. I felt lost and without clear purpose or worth when I had graduated and was not motivated to have any further career driven ambitions, feeling like "is this it!?". So I'm taking life at a much slower pace and doing things or setting goals because they make me happy, not because it is expected of me.
Kinda felt lost last couple months and heartbroken last couple weeks but this video calmed me down a bit and let me rerealize that i indeed should enjoy the little things instead of dwelling on the what ifs, what was and maybe this and that.. ty
This video really spoke to me, I'm in a spot right now where I've just been contemplating about my goals, ambitions, what I want to do with my life, what are the next steps. It reminded me the importance to slow down, Thank You! (As you said maybe its right in front of my nose, and maybe I'm not seeing it, this really gave a me piece to my mind)
I remember being this young and having it all figured out too. It’s so utterly important to be in the right environments and not to dismiss your emotions and what they are trying to tell you. Mine were telling me for a long time to stop working and I didn’t listen. Had a massive breakdown and ended up in hospital as a result. I now have severe cptsd as a result of my experiences in there and am a thousand times worse off. So please listen to your body!!
I can feel you Lana! I am more or less in the same phase of my life, where i am no longer enthusiast about having different goals. All i want is a peaceful life, where i don't need to mull over my life anymore. Apart from that, we all are grateful for having you as a therapist, who constantly makes effort so that we don't feel bad about ourselves. Thanks a lot!
That's what it feels like when a person is a you tuber. Especially with a genre/category like You. But sister, I want you to know that you've already achieved what many of us want to do in life. Spreading knowledge, awareness , positivity, leaving the world in a better state than the one you were born in. Just live, okay? Like the Cottage Fairy said. You two are two of my favourite Ladies
I am male, 26 and never understood anything about relationships and the need of getting a girlfriend. I always had different problems in my life, so the focus wasn't there at all.
the feeling of overwhelmed desires and wishes getting mixed up with goals is a feeling i am not a stranger to. i wish sometimes to break a world record, other times i want to be the best at my work i do in my office, sometimes i wish to be the next ronaldo of this world and sometimes i wish to cruise on a bike which i want to buy with my own income.these are all goals and desires mixed up but as sylvia path said about the fig tree , i think the quicker we are with the initiative and focus all our powers into that one thing we choose to do, i think nobody in the world would regret to do so later on in life. yes you will have incomplete wishes but the regrets remain until you let it. moreover about the little things, i personally enjoy the most when i am alone at any place so i start talking to myself, be it while walking to university or going to work, i love the small silent chats i have with myself. i make myself laugh, i make myself cry i am my best companion but still it is never enough. i guess that's life. although the chances are meagre lana, but if you ever find the chance to go to japan, dont miss it ever bcz opportunity knocks on the door but seldom does it ever break in and hug you itself. love your videos.
Almost 28, the older I get the more I realise that there arent major things in life to do, but with small changes life changes overtime. I do have a goal where I have enough freetime to travel the world at a slowly pace, I am also working towards that goal. Life doesnt get any easier though quick up and downs happens a lot these days.
Beautiful experience you created/let emerge here, appreciate you sharing! I recall turning 30 and it didn't feel as surprising as much as I thought it would. Now I am about turn 35 and realise one way of describing that is with the term "I will be in my mid thirties". Definitely got me feeling some feelings. Ultimately I am still a BIG kid not in an arrested development way but in spirit! I too mourn past moments allowing myself to doubt my unquie awesomeness. Oh well got it now, which is something most people can't say unfortunately! Keep being awesome
Wow, very eye-opening and thought-provoking. Sometimes, a little perspective reset is all you need, and it takes you a long way. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I’m 31 now and I feel I graduated school just yesterday. I had also so many dreams when I was young and now I feel I have less accomplishments and feels lost. It felt easier when we were at school and now the world feels so big and living without goals. Agree with what you said Lana and want the simple things now.
Such wise words ! I can relate to everything you said and you really touched my heart 🖤 I am a dreamer like you are but I too have realized that it's the little everyday things that matter most. Thank you so much for sharing this and being who you are 🖤
Just turned 30, and I couldn't relate more to your video! I just want to take things slow, although lately, I've realized that taking things slow and getting that peacefulness in your life gets harder to attain the older we get. Just enjoy life. Make that cup of coffee. Smile at your dog in the morning. These are simple pleasures that we should all be grateful for
I'll be 29 next month. I am in a 9 year relationship that I have only in recent months realized has been an incredibly abusive one, destroying my mental health and my self-image. Fast realizing now that I don't think there is a fix here, and that I'm going to have to get divorced, leaving everything I have and starting from scratch. At the same time my home country of Lebanon has been plunged into war, and my only safety blanket of "If things don't work out I could always go home" has been forcibly yanked away, leaving me vulnerable in the depths of night. I'm scared. Of so many things, and yet...I've undeniably grown so much since making this breakthrough about my life. I accept my journey, and accept that I will be endlessly working on my self in this life. I will be a boon to mankind, I am love, I am kindness, I am hope, and that is enough.
I love your videos so much. They are so calming to watch. They really warm my heart and I feel like I’m getting a warm hug from you. I really would love a nice warm bear hug from you Lana 🧸🫂❤🥰☺️😌
You feel like identification, I’m grateful for your existence and happiness, your words and beautiful voice has been my company for more than a year, you’re a friend , a warm hug and a company that will always live in my heart ❤❤ Love from India , may you live a healthy fulfilling life
It's same for me. I have never had any specific life goals. Moreover I have been suffering from Social anxiety and it already made my life a living hell. I missed so many career opportunities just because of it. I am 25 now but hope I will do something better.
it's like I have written this comment. I am exactly like this right now, but complaining is not a strategy. I feel so depressed (I know, it's an overused term and I hate it tbh), but feeling depressed and crying won't solve my problems
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I think I never commented on your videos but let me say: what a beautiful and insightful video Lana! As a 34 year-old French guy, it kind of resonated a lot with where I'm at in life and what I feel about the illusion, sometimes despair and often joy behind this complex idea of age! I guess it's the beauty of the internet and I simply want to say thank you #cheesycosysunday
Your timing is just perfect 👍 whenever i feel confused in life thinking that i lost myself,thats exactly when ur videos hits my phone like a fairy who appers at the right moment to comfort a sad girl watching this entire world through her windows on soundless night thinking what's exactly her purpose in this world, there u comes with these lovely and comfortable sentences which makes me feel, don't worry ur on the right path just keep moving forward by relaying on god he will show u the best way that he created for you, Just trust the process . Ur words were always like a heart to heart talk with a big sister lana. Thnxx for ur lovely videos , it's always been like a very close connection to me even though we haven't know eachother 😊
I read somewhere that we are not the the ones that experience things. we are the universe experiencing itself in different forms and it makes sense to me. all we can be sure of is that life at least happens only once and we'll be back to no space and no time therefore no experience someday. I think it's good to know that death will come so we can appreciate every moment. I think the road to achieving big things come from these small moments we take for granted. just do as best as you can now. no one knows the future. things change so do you.
It's all about my status that depends on what to appear on my mind and i now get used to following it that makes me feel good and comfortable..just for living better not being too hard on self
Some people like to get lost in the past, some like to dream about the future. I couldn't understand where you are. I think the main problem is that time is not enough for you.
You simply don’t search for what other people are still missing within , they seek internally while people like us are simply happy living life without a specific reason for it. Thats a blessing
Right!? 😂 Of course there’s no substitute for our own personal therapy but I looove when people mention certain tools and exercises their therapist recommends
Well.. so articulate on your part. It summarises like Whitman " Do i contradict myself ? Very well then i contradict myself, I am large I contain multitudes."
Turned 26 years old this last April. Just finished a degree and still have no clue what to do next life. Watching other people with similer problems makes me feel some comfort, I guess I will "flow" with opportunities my future has to offer. Anyway thanks for sharing, and good luck 👍
it is so true we feel that we have to achieve alot of things in life in order to be happy there is this void that we try to fill with things that we believe are fullfilling like money fame etc that we take so much stress in life and we stop enjoying it . chasing happiness in the outside world is so futile we need to work on our innerself learn to enjoy each day as it comes
Woww, you feelers are just awesome ❤. The experience was sooo much heavenly PEACEful. I've always felt much relaxed chatting with my ENFP friend too. 1 Lana Blakely content per day, keeps all your worries away 🎉. We love your content #Lana.
Lovely video ❤ you have a beautiful voice. I felt every single word from your video. Like you I think every day about my life and what should i do and what career should follow.. i am 30 years, i have a job in finance field but my mind tell me that i should do more or something else and i can't decide what.. but sometimes i take a step behind and i am just grateful for all the blessings from my life ❤ life is beautiful if you decide to see it like that ❤ hugs from Romania 😘🤗
Overthinking kills more dreams than unskilled action ever will.
Totally!
I can't agree more
Yup. Time does fly by. It feels like yesterday I was 18, now I'm almost 52. Don't be too hard on yourself. You're running your own race.
it's true
"You're running your own race." Yeahh that's so truee
Read the Bible, obey the gospel to get born again and go to heaven for eternity
I feel you, I'm 63 but still feel like a 20 year old. We all have our own journeys. Best to enjoy it!
I feel you girl. I used to plan a lot now I just want to live peacefully and be happy.
Yeah basically this!

Love this, Lana! We all go through thoughts like this. You are still very young and have the whole world in front of you! I'm 63 & still trying to figure it all out. I've always had goals and changed my life many times over the years. It's all part of this amazing journey we call life. Enjoy each day & I hope the very best for you. You have achieved far more than most 29 year old's so keep up the great work! BTW, sometimes lost is ok. It makes it fun when you find yourself again.

When i was 16 i just thought i was "the shit" and nothing could stop me. now in later 20s, the way i view the world is insanely different. from say 15-25 i felt like i was standing on the harbor and waiting for the sailing ship to take me on this great trip in life, now im finally out on the ocean and i see no land in the horizon, i just hope im going in a worthwhile direction.
I just turned 28 and have been feeling unsettled about having no grand goals like my early 20s. Your video brings me so much reassurance! Thank you Lana
Feel you. Freelancer in the film industry, just turned 31. I still see my child in the mirror. Working on feeling present more than anything else. Choosing actively to slow time down. Working on my diet, my body, trying to be softer for me and for everyone I love ❤
this feels like such a tight hug. your vids never fail to make me feel seen, validated & inspired. thank you, lana. your words are healing.
Is it a coincidence that your videos always come in the right moment for me? I've been thinking about my future for many days but today I just felt a bit more LOST.
I'm glad the timing was good. You'll be ok :) x
I’m 22 now, I’ve been watching your videos since around 19. You are the only blogger I haven’t skipped a video from. Since you are a bit older than me, you talking about getting older and about those questions of age and goals really makes me feel like I have an elder sister, and that it’s not that scary, to go into the future. Because I can watch you do it, and you do that so authentically, being yourself. Thank you so much for your sincere videos, they always make me feel better. Always ❤️
Thank you for this, Lana.
Being 26, i've been slowly starting to think about this, about the life path that i feel i should be pursuing, the stark contrast "with what and where i should be heading". This video and your words have brought great comfort for me. As always actually. I have to say, the beauty of your thoughts have accompanied me for quite some years now. I remember very well the first video i’ve watched from you. I was sitting in a coffeeshop in a late october or november evening in 2019, after college classes, watching “why i’m quiet”. Having always been a quiet guy, society has always make me think my quietness was something very (too) strange. A society that i’ve understood now to be way too fast, way too loud. Years later i feel much more at peace and the beauty and preciousness of your thoughts continue to leave a bright impact on me. Being just 3 years younger than you, you’ve always been like this example for me that is paving the way and that i know i can trust because of the similarity of our thought patterns. Not only have you made me feel okay with the ways i feel in my younger years, but you’ve made me see the world the way you do, as i deeply related to your thought patterns this whole time. About life, about nature, about seeing the preciousness hidden in the simplicity of Life. Which in reality is not so hidden for the one who’s willing to love, open their ears to the singing of the birds and their eyes to the grass being caressed by the wind.
You can say that you have brought great comfort and helped enlighten the hearts and minds of countless other human beings, you certainly did for me, and that by itself make all the "things one should have or do by age 30" pale in comparison. Above all what is deemed "success" by a society that has forgotten to value what matters most, the impact of the thoughts you share on here rise above it all. May you bless many more souls with the beauty of yours, dear Lana :)
Hi Lana! I’ve been watching your crafts for 2 years now and it's helping me a lot heading the roads of me. Thank you very much! Sending you love! From the Philippines:)
I once heard these beautiful sentences crafted by a TED Talk speaker and it still marked in me.
“I have come to believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a dream. Its most important purpose is to get in touch with where dreams come from, where passion comes from, happiness comes from. Even a shattered dream can do that for you”
I just turned 20 this year and am about to graduate in a year, and felt so lost. But I’ve come to realize that I’m already living my dream, filling my day with smiles, and laughter, and being able to see art in small things, you know the not-so-little and I resonate with what you said, that we can bloom even we are not in our sweet spot if only we allow ourselves.
Lana has such a good understanding of how life actually works. Many influencers are chasing money and fame more than anything else. Lana goes against that narcissistic nonsense, and it's quite refreshing.
This resonate a lot deeper than I expected. I am 32 now and I hope things will turn out alright. You got another subscriber
Consummate film-making. Beautifully planned, shot and executed. Been following Lana for a few years now and her film-craft has never been better. Capturs a generation of young people and their thinking. one of the best in the domain here. Many thanks Lana
New follower here. Interesting to listen to your thoughts about life!
I am a 65 year old man from Sweden 🇸🇪 that did a 6 month journey around the world on a shoestring when I was 24 years young.
That was one of the best things I done in my life and gave me a healthy perspective of the world and our lives as human beings on this planet 🌎.
You are young and beautiful and have already acquired a mature perspective of what is important in life.
As I am now entering my last years of life it’s becoming more and more important for me to prioritise the small things in daily life and keep on with painting, writing and discovering the beauty of our world and the creatures in it.
You are so eerily similar to me that it’s tripping me out right now. From an almost 30 something probably halfway across the world from you, I know exactly how you’re feeling and thinking because I’ve thought and felt all those same things hundreds of times.
I resonate wth you! I'm 31 I realized a lot from being in the dark and rough roads. I'm changing my career but my goal is to be faithful in everything and just let everything happens to me. Hoping it's not all pain and suffering. In my heart I was ready to create a world filled with deep love joy, healing all around. The world is so pretty but the society is so ugly. It's good to be in solitude and enjoy the time you've been given. We humans are like flowers we wither. One day here next gone. It's important to have inner peace, inner healing. Doing the inner work. Gratitude makes things look a lot prettier. To live at peace with everyone is a challenge cuz a lot of people are turning narcissistic. So once in awhile it's good to spend time with nature and with yourself just doing nothing. And watch the world go by in silence. You'd hear alot. You'll feel purified just to close your eyes and desire nothing but peace and just go wherever God is leading up too. Not to live by human standard and going for the usuals as if life is like a grocery check list you don't have to do what others are doing. Focus on eternal things. Thats with value than what can be easily destroyed material 3D. Spread ❤Love. Gentle and be more mindful and listen more. For all of you here: I love you and I pray for you all to make it up to where you wanna be 🙏✨😁 sending you Genuine Joy, abundance and loveee. Take care of your soul, it's the most precious
Your videos feel like a warm hug or like a ray of sunlight that hits your face on a cold day 💫
I swear my youtube algorithm videos are speaking to me. This last weeks videos I saw, are about life, opening, and waking up your life.
I cannot express how beautiful this video is and how greatly comforted I feel right now. Your words and videos mean so much to so many individuals worldwide and I always feel a little wiser and a little more grateful after each one! Thank you for reminding us of the little things, as they truly aren't little. I wish you a beautiful week, month, year, and life Lana! :)
Right after the fig story, when you mentioned that you still wanted to visit Japan I literally felt goosebumps. I studied Japanese back in university and I still feel like I never really fully committed to the idea of this compelling dream of mine to visit Japan and explore the country. Now, in my mid 30s the desire is still there, however, I feel as the constrains of social norms and life itself deter me from embarking on a new adventure/chapter. I am not even sure why I am sharing this under your video. I suppose I just wanted to write it down and share a glimpse of myself.
Anyway, such an organic and beautifully structured video delivered in an easy to digest manner on a deeply resonating existential subject.
This video was like a hug for my soul 🥹
Sometimes you wanna thank UA-cam for introducing us to such positive channels glad I found this channel as recommendation been following you for 3 years ❤forever grateful
Understanding that people like you exist makes me happy.❤
Your mindset is so inspiring. I’m definitely on the other side of the spectrum, but I think being a bit more like you would let me chill out a bit more about everything 😅
Sometimes things take time, universe sends signs and signals to make us deserving for what is ready for us in future. We are all just going towards our goals, some bit by bit, some too fast.
Thank You Lana!
Stay Blessed 🌸
I loved the fig tree poem / analogy. I could relate to a lot of what you said. You did it so beautifully. I stopped being a dreamer a long time ago, unconsciously I think, perhaps because of many reasons, a big one being often disappointed by reality. I felt lost and without clear purpose or worth when I had graduated and was not motivated to have any further career driven ambitions, feeling like "is this it!?". So I'm taking life at a much slower pace and doing things or setting goals because they make me happy, not because it is expected of me.
Kinda felt lost last couple months and heartbroken last couple weeks but this video calmed me down a bit and let me rerealize that i indeed should enjoy the little things instead of dwelling on the what ifs, what was and maybe this and that.. ty
This video really spoke to me, I'm in a spot right now where I've just been contemplating about my goals, ambitions, what I want to do with my life, what are the next steps. It reminded me the importance to slow down, Thank You! (As you said maybe its right in front of my nose, and maybe I'm not seeing it, this really gave a me piece to my mind)
You’re my comfort person…thank you so much for being here lana💜
Ditto💛
you're beautiful :) my mom passed away 2017. it crushed me. but i keep on keeping on.there's really no goal. just be alive and keep the peace of mind.
I remember being this young and having it all figured out too. It’s so utterly important to be in the right environments and not to dismiss your emotions and what they are trying to tell you. Mine were telling me for a long time to stop working and I didn’t listen. Had a massive breakdown and ended up in hospital as a result. I now have severe cptsd as a result of my experiences in there and am a thousand times worse off. So please listen to your body!!
I can feel you Lana! I am more or less in the same phase of my life, where i am no longer enthusiast about having different goals. All i want is a peaceful life, where i don't need to mull over my life anymore. Apart from that, we all are grateful for having you as a therapist, who constantly makes effort so that we don't feel bad about ourselves. Thanks a lot!
That's what it feels like when a person is a you tuber. Especially with a genre/category like You.
But sister, I want you to know that you've already achieved what many of us want to do in life. Spreading knowledge, awareness , positivity, leaving the world in a better state than the one you were born in.
Just live, okay? Like the Cottage Fairy said.
You two are two of my favourite Ladies
Your writing and references and delivery are spot on for that feel good free soul vibe that I needed right now. Thank you kindly 😊
My soul felt this deeply ❤️
I'm 35 and I've been single for 14 years. I can totally relate to this!

I am male, 26 and never understood anything about relationships and the need of getting a girlfriend. I always had different problems in my life, so the focus wasn't there at all.
the feeling of overwhelmed desires and wishes getting mixed up with goals is a feeling i am not a stranger to. i wish sometimes to break a world record, other times i want to be the best at my work i do in my office, sometimes i wish to be the next ronaldo of this world and sometimes i wish to cruise on a bike which i want to buy with my own income.these are all goals and desires mixed up but as sylvia path said about the fig tree , i think the quicker we are with the initiative and focus all our powers into that one thing we choose to do, i think nobody in the world would regret to do so later on in life. yes you will have incomplete wishes but the regrets remain until you let it. moreover about the little things, i personally enjoy the most when i am alone at any place so i start talking to myself, be it while walking to university or going to work, i love the small silent chats i have with myself. i make myself laugh, i make myself cry i am my best companion but still it is never enough. i guess that's life.
although the chances are meagre lana, but if you ever find the chance to go to japan, dont miss it ever bcz opportunity knocks on the door but seldom does it ever break in and hug you itself. love your videos.
Almost 28, the older I get the more I realise that there arent major things in life to do, but with small changes life changes overtime. I do have a goal where I have enough freetime to travel the world at a slowly pace, I am also working towards that goal. Life doesnt get any easier though quick up and downs happens a lot these days.
Your videos are always so thoughtful and adept, considered and calm
Beautiful experience you created/let emerge here, appreciate you sharing! I recall turning 30 and it didn't feel as surprising as much as I thought it would. Now I am about turn 35 and realise one way of describing that is with the term "I will be in my mid thirties". Definitely got me feeling some feelings. Ultimately I am still a BIG kid not in an arrested development way but in spirit! I too mourn past moments allowing myself to doubt my unquie awesomeness. Oh well got it now, which is something most people can't say unfortunately! Keep being awesome
Visiting Japan during the summer festivals season is definitely a great goal to aim for! Amazing content as always, Lana!
Wow, very eye-opening and thought-provoking.
Sometimes, a little perspective reset is all you need, and it takes you a long way.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
This is so relatable and touching Lana! Beautiful video!
Lana, I loved the video. Smiled for 10 minutes. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.
Thank you so much for all these videos, Lana. I feel like I am never alone thanks to your work. Love from Portugal.
Your final message is perfect and true, I believe. Well said.
I’m 31 now and I feel I graduated school just yesterday. I had also so many dreams when I was young and now I feel I have less accomplishments and feels lost. It felt easier when we were at school and now the world feels so big and living without goals. Agree with what you said Lana and want the simple things now.
Such wise words ! I can relate to everything you said and you really touched my heart 🖤
I am a dreamer like you are but I too have realized that it's the little everyday things that matter most.
Thank you so much for sharing this and being who you are 🖤
Just turned 30, and I couldn't relate more to your video! I just want to take things slow, although lately, I've realized that taking things slow and getting that peacefulness in your life gets harder to attain the older we get. Just enjoy life. Make that cup of coffee. Smile at your dog in the morning. These are simple pleasures that we should all be grateful for
amen!!
I'll be 29 next month. I am in a 9 year relationship that I have only in recent months realized has been an incredibly abusive one, destroying my mental health and my self-image. Fast realizing now that I don't think there is a fix here, and that I'm going to have to get divorced, leaving everything I have and starting from scratch. At the same time my home country of Lebanon has been plunged into war, and my only safety blanket of "If things don't work out I could always go home" has been forcibly yanked away, leaving me vulnerable in the depths of night.
I'm scared. Of so many things, and yet...I've undeniably grown so much since making this breakthrough about my life. I accept my journey, and accept that I will be endlessly working on my self in this life. I will be a boon to mankind, I am love, I am kindness, I am hope, and that is enough.
So elegant. I really appreciate your outlook❤
Helloo Lana, you are reading my mind as of lately my friend, ive been feeling this way too!
You have grown lots Lana and i am proud of you friend 😊❤
Your content is awesome. Thank you for helping many people.
Appreciate it. Have a nice day

I love your videos so much. They are so calming to watch. They really warm my heart and I feel like I’m getting a warm hug from you. I really would love a nice warm bear hug from you Lana 🧸🫂❤🥰☺️😌
I just love your way of conversing your thoughts and what you feel🌼🤗
You feel like identification, I’m grateful for your existence and happiness, your words and beautiful voice has been my company for more than a year, you’re a friend , a warm hug and a company that will always live in my heart ❤❤ Love from India , may you live a healthy fulfilling life
It's same for me. I have never had any specific life goals. Moreover I have been suffering from Social anxiety and it already made my life a living hell. I missed so many career opportunities just because of it. I am 25 now but hope I will do something better.
try keto vore or Carnivore diet
@@jeanpaultongeren125how would that help with social anxiety
it's like I have written this comment. I am exactly like this right now, but complaining is not a strategy. I feel so depressed (I know, it's an overused term and I hate it tbh), but feeling depressed and crying won't solve my problems
This video come out exactly when I need this. Thank you Lana ❤
Life is tough! Always Stay positive like my grandparents use to said to me
Amazing honest video, that inspired me to make a series like this about my life.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is dr.porassss.
Sending you Love, Lanaaa!!❤
I think I never commented on your videos but let me say: what a beautiful and insightful video Lana!
As a 34 year-old French guy, it kind of resonated a lot with where I'm at in life and what I feel about the illusion, sometimes despair and often joy behind this complex idea of age! I guess it's the beauty of the internet and I simply want to say thank you #cheesycosysunday
Your timing is just perfect 👍 whenever i feel confused in life thinking that i lost myself,thats exactly when ur videos hits my phone like a fairy who appers at the right moment to comfort a sad girl watching this entire world through her windows on soundless night thinking what's exactly her purpose in this world, there u comes with these lovely and comfortable sentences which makes me feel, don't worry ur on the right path just keep moving forward by relaying on god he will show u the best way that he created for you, Just trust the process . Ur words were always like a heart to heart talk with a big sister lana. Thnxx for ur lovely videos , it's always been like a very close connection to me even though we haven't know eachother 😊
I read somewhere that we are not the the ones that experience things. we are the universe experiencing itself in different forms and it makes sense to me. all we can be sure of is that life at least happens only once and we'll be back to no space and no time therefore no experience someday. I think it's good to know that death will come so we can appreciate every moment. I think the road to achieving big things come from these small moments we take for granted. just do as best as you can now. no one knows the future. things change so do you.
I feel you Lana, thank you for keep strong and survive until now
It's all about my status that depends on what to appear on my mind and i now get used to following it that makes me feel good and comfortable..just for living better not being too hard on self
Lana, this is a great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Some people like to get lost in the past, some like to dream about the future. I couldn't understand where you are. I think the main problem is that time is not enough for you.
You simply don’t search for what other people are still missing within , they seek internally while people like us are simply happy living life without a specific reason for it. Thats a blessing
Turned 30 just today... And this resonates with me 100%
When your card declines in therapy so they start showing Lana Blakely UA-cam videos 😍😭💗 🙌
Right!? 😂 Of course there’s no substitute for our own personal therapy but I looove when people mention certain tools and exercises their therapist recommends
😂
I'm 36 btw and I'm gonna try to find out what's life has to offer me when I'm 40. They say "Life begins at 40."
Thank you lana for this beautiful video . I needed it ❤
Thank you Lana I really needed to hear what you said.
appreciate the talk.
well done.
sending love. 🙏🏽😌
Well.. so articulate on your part. It summarises like Whitman " Do i contradict myself ? Very well then i contradict myself, I am large I contain multitudes."
I absolutely loved this. Thank you for sharing ❤
Turned 26 years old this last April. Just finished a degree and still have no clue what to do next life. Watching other people with similer problems makes me feel some comfort, I guess I will "flow" with opportunities my future has to offer. Anyway thanks for sharing, and good luck 👍
this hits home. didn't know i needed to hear this today. thankyou!!
Discovered this channel and this video was so beautifully put ❤
Thankyou for this
it is so true we feel that we have to achieve alot of things in life in order to be happy there is this void that we try to fill with things that we believe are fullfilling like money fame etc that we take so much stress in life and we stop enjoying it . chasing happiness in the outside world is so futile we need to work on our innerself learn to enjoy each day as it comes
Woww, you feelers are just awesome ❤.
The experience was sooo much heavenly PEACEful.
I've always felt much relaxed chatting with my ENFP friend too.
1 Lana Blakely content per day, keeps all your worries away 🎉.
We love your content #Lana.
Love this youtuber so much 💕💕💕💕
hiiii
Lovely video ❤ you have a beautiful voice. I felt every single word from your video. Like you I think every day about my life and what should i do and what career should follow.. i am 30 years, i have a job in finance field but my mind tell me that i should do more or something else and i can't decide what.. but sometimes i take a step behind and i am just grateful for all the blessings from my life ❤ life is beautiful if you decide to see it like that ❤ hugs from Romania 😘🤗
Hi lana.I am 32 and i can totally relate with this.
Lots of love from India
