alot of advice is not a one size fits all. one persons can hear 'relax, we have time' or gary vee says 'have patience' and they can be successful, or not.. while others feel that time is running out, and still become successful or not. its all circumstantial and how you respond to lifes random series of events that it throws at you i suppose.. but ur not wrong for thinking how u think was the point i was trying to make lol

I’m turning 25 in aug, and that rude awakening that you mentioned that the attention suddenly fades…living that now. And I’m constantly fighting the ‘comparison demon’. Coz i feel so behind, all my friends are working & living their best lives and I’m still at college and find myself breaking down more often lately. It feels good to hear this advice❤
I definitely am tearing up just reading this because I can relate and am in the same position - though I’m positive because sometimes there isn’t a right time to start, but it’s for us - we’re choosing ourselves to start this new chapter and can’t wait to see it through! We got this hun ✨✨✨
@@marzemarcel9529 men, social media, etc. Hence, why it’s important to not waste your time seeking validation from others and just move at your own pace and do things that benefit you and bring you happiness 🙃.
I have a different take on this, I have noticed that the WRONG attention has faded as I’ve gotten older. It’s a quality over quantity thing for me. Guys look at me and say ”she seems mature and about her stuff,” so in return I have had less men without their stuff together try to get at me.
number 23 !!! when i was applying for jobs, i kept getting ghosted, rejected, everything. i kept telling myself that something better is waiting for me and Allahumdullilah i got the one job I really wanted.
I prayed hard for a job at Tesla. Got the interview and it went exceptionally well but I wasn’t hired because of my previous contract work with a company that partners with them. I was so hurt behind this and didn’t understand why Allah wouldn’t want me to have a $22/he job that would solve all my worries and allow me to move out on my own, save and invest money etc. Yesterday, 15,000 got fired. It was him protecting me. I’m so grateful
Was going to type the same thing REJECTION IS GODS PROTECTION * you asked for a job/ You didn't ask for the job that is BEST place to work for the long run ASK And YOU SHALL RECIEVE. ***SECRET:::: ACT as if u already have it IMAGINATION is the KEY
I haven’t watched the video so I want to say: Covid stole 3 years from us (I’m turning 25 this year) I truly feel younger in my life experiences because there were 3 years where I felt a lot of complacencies
Exactly, i had just turned freshly 22 right before lockdown started. Our early 20s were stolen from us, now were in a place were we "should" be further along but it feels strange
@@aena5995 I got my AA but I decided to go get my BA and now I’m 24 living in a dorm at university and this is definitely not where I thought I’d be at this age lol but I’m happy to be here!
Honestly You didn't waste your twenties at all. It's all come full circle. You're spreading such a positive and beautiful message and everyone listening has something to gain from this message. So thank you for this !!
Didn't know I needed this fr, I'm turning 20 this year it's really emotional and scary at the same time. Thank you for being the big sister I didn't have. ❤
Same😭im so scared, I moved abroad for college, have no friends feeling lonely, and see myself just aging I'm just gonna continue telling myself that I'm 19😭 so I don't have to panic and feel anxious about missing out on my teen journey!
@@nami20622 you can't age that much in one year between 19 and 20😭those two are basically the same. Unless you are older than 20 and notice you look different which is normal
I think that it’s great to take advice from people in the position you want to be in but also great to listen to people who aren’t in the position you want/ who failed at something. They could warn you and tell you what went wrong, what they wish they could’ve done. This will help use avoid certain mistakes or do certain things to get where we need to go!
omg!! i'm 21 turning 22 this year and just realized #5 in my own life and it's the truth!!! i always feel better about myself (the inside and out) and my own life when im actively walking and growing in faith!! this is the first video of yours i've seen, subscribed!! 🥰
I'm older than you and honestly these are all great tips, thanks for your work with putting up this video. May Allah bless you with the best things in life and open you the doors of Jannah
Whew this is my first time seeing your videos and girly it was SO needed. I love your vibe and as a newly 24 year old 😭 I have messed up countless times, but thank God for his faithfulness and redirection I’m learning to obey and trust his plan in totality and do my part. Thanks so much for sharing ❤!!
Thank you for mentioning Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and Tigray in your description! Additionally, I really resonated with the "If you have faith you'll have higher self-esteem and confidence" part of the video. It's easy to become distracted which can lead to feelings of ungratefulness so I appreciate this comment because having blind faith and overall hope that things will get better is enough to keep me going to help others I meet who may need encouragement and also keep myself in a state of gratitude and grace.
I've only read the title and I'll watch this later. I just wanted to comment to you that: Nothing is wasted, if you've learned lessons. The two terms (waste and learn) do not belong in that same sentence.
3:55 ugh I LOOOOOOVE Tony Gaskins! Been watching him for years I kid you not. 😌💯 As we are the same age, I’ll add that I’ve shifted my perspective on nurturing my 20-something’s within my spiritual journey when realizing that we 20-something’s are being more encouraged to earn money to pay bills, splurge, have a car, be “independent”, etc. than we are to work on ourselves internally. That changed the trajectory of how I wanna spend my 20s under the roof of my parents’ home. Using the time to work on myself as a person, so it can be a contributor to how I pour into other areas of my life, rather than being worried about how “independent” I am or how I pay bills and still not having a healthy relationship with myself/people.
@@EditsByMani just seeing the rest of your comment! I love this and I totally agree 🫶🏾 we have too many people neglecting the internal work that needs to be done in the name of chasing materialistic success sadly
The beginning is so relatable about being hard headed and not listening to others around you, it’s important to especially coming from your parents. Ps you have a beautiful smile!!
22 turning 23 gone through a lot i just dont know where im going , just leaving it all to God but doesn't mean im not trying , ur video is really impacting and informative ❤
I was literally scrolling randomly through youtube and your video popped out, girl it literally popped in the right timing subhanallah thank you so much love💌
Videos like this remind me of why I love you so much I literally sat and watch the entire video. No skips no fast forwards and it really poured into me and spoke to me. This is coming from someone who is not Muslim, but is faith based I really enjoyed every single lesson. As I enter my 20s, I want to be intentional about every step of the way and this was a very enlightening video. Thank you so much. Love you lots.
I feel so grateful I found your channel ! Your lessons resonated with me and I will definitly take them into consideration. I wish nothing but happiness sincerely
I always leave Tomiwa’s video feeling blessed❤. I turn 20 on February 22nd and unlike my previous birthdays, I have been having mixed feelings about this particular one. I always heard that life really starts at 20 and your decisions in your 20’s could make or mar you. This fear has literally made me so scared to turn 20 for the longest time. I have been watching so many videos on things to know in your 20’s and Tomiwa being a God sent uploaded a video at the right time and I somehow feel relieved especially after seeing how she addressed some of my fears. Thank you so much Tomiwa. Remain blessed in every way❤
Thank you this video helped me a lot ❤ I've been stressing out so much bcus i feel like I wasted so much of my early 20s and made so many mistakes and have so many regrets

Videos like this make me depressing because my middle 20s were spent being harassed and stalked by evil and wicked neighbors. So imagine how much worse it is when your 20s are stolen from you rather than you wasting it of your own accord.
Just came.across this video and now imma make a list to change my live a bit for good.Thanks sis May Allah's protection and guidance always be with you 🙏
You really ate with this one, and I'm truly so elated on the path you and your channel is going allahumabarik. This community and vibe it's creating on centering our lives around Islam and Allah is so inspirational and I know it's resulting in me and a lot of girlies to heal and connect/ reconnect with the diin ❤❤. May Allah make this a reason you go to jannatul Firdaws 🫶🫶 Also that hijab style suits you so well you look so elegant ✨️
The timing of this video is insane. I feel like it really is allah sending it directly to me. Every single point feels like it was made for me.Thank you so much you have no idea
I’m Turning 20 next month this is helpful advice so thank you may god bless and your soul ,lesson 24 was what needed to hear and lesson 11 is also the best advice because a long time ago I was constantly thinking that other people deserve to the place where god wants to take me into .
Thank you so much for sharing. These are beautiful lessons and despite the title saying you wasted your early twenties, you did not. Everything happened exactly as it needed to and now you are in a position where you know better and have leveraged previous experience and mistakes to reshape your life and journey. You radiate spiritual growth and display that the lessons you share are rooted in divine purpose and intervention. You are blessed.
Points so I can come back 💖 11 imposter syndrome 13 perfection is overrated. doing just enough is okay 12 health for longevity 14 self worth. don't be beautiful for others 15 move with intention 17 you are what you consume 18 mistakes are okay. saying wrong answers 20 honour our parents 22 your people will find you. be yourself 23 rejection is Allah's (SWT) protection and redirection 24 Allah's (SWT) timing is best 25 nothing in this life is worth sacrificing your afterlife
I've been watching you for years since I was in HS back in 2017!! its been such a long time but I've been watching you more frequently now and I love how far you came!! Im working on wearing the hijab and embracing it and you have definitely been an inspiration for me! 🥰 I hope I can come out of this ramadan being a hijabi Inshallah! You are my fav UA-cam girly! Allahuma barik!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
23, still have 2 years till my mid twenties, I've gone through a lot these past years, but alhamdulillah ,not gonna lie i procrastinated a lot and wasted opportunities, but as you said we all make mistakes, i just hope the mistakes i made won't affect my life forever and ill be able to recover,❤
honestly I don't have any type of faith but I found what you said really useful despite our different beliefs. I also found everything you said very interesting, even when there were some things which I disagreed with. I also loved your energy
Really enjoyed this conversation. I was feeling down this morning and decided to watch something on UA-cam and I feel so much better after listening to you.Thank you❤
The way I could relate to almost all these lessons, I was just nodding all through the video❤️ Allahumabarik , May Allah continue to bless you❤️loved it so much
Im going to turn 25 this year and Im agree with your in all the things you said. I have learnt the same lessons in this years, some are harder for me than other, but at the end are the same although we are from so differents countries and cultures. ( Im from Spain, Europe). Good video I love it, kisses in spanish. hahaha
Omg!!! This was soo good!!! And it came at the most perfect time!!! Like I’m literally screaming to myself Thank you soo much Tomiwa!!!❤️ May Almighty Allah continue to grant you wisdom and ease in all your affairs (Amin🤲🏽)
I am not religious and often when people mention god too often, I sign off. However, I really wanted to listen to this video because you are engaging and your first few lessons were interesting. I enjoyed the video and did learn a few things so thank you! Even though I do not believe in god, I am not an atheist and believe in the Universe and its energy.
I'm about to turn 20 and all you've said is really helpful and I would really try to apply them. Also, I'm in love with your make up, pls do a tutorial.
Oh girl, first point you made, it's me, thanks for letting me know, I'm turning 20 in September, so thx for the video, may Allah subhannawatallah bless you
thank you!!. i have crazy anxiety and imposter syndrome. Allah has always answered my prayers and wishes but i still feel somehow all the time but yeah thank you for reminding me Allah loves mee
I no longer believe in the best things in life take time. After losing close ones that were very young. I realized we shouldn't assume we will have time.
So sorry to hear this I lost my father at very early age and I same like y but after years now I am thankful and satisfied cuz atleast my father don’t bear the things we bear
alot of advice is not a one size fits all. one persons can hear 'relax, we have time' or gary vee says 'have patience' and they can be successful, or not.. while others feel that time is running out, and still become successful or not. its all circumstantial and how you respond to lifes random series of events that it throws at you i suppose.. but ur not wrong for thinking how u think was the point i was trying to make lol
Even the bad things don’t lost
From someone who has lost someone just recently, Amen to that!
I am very very sorry for you!
But I think Tomiwa meant this for patience and discipline, it’s absolutely not about shifting your life🫶🏼
Ramadan Mubarak ! May Allah accept our fasting and our prayers 🤲🏾❤

Love and light to you❤
This was such a beautiful video. By Lesson 24 I was bawling my eyes out. Thanks for these reminders. I really, really needed to hear them.
Girl! I love, love this 🎉 when things don't go my way, it's cos God's protecting me from something hideous. Alhamdulillah 🥂
I love the way you talk, it's so calming! And I love your makeup!
The way I needed this video it's like you answered all my thoughts. Alhamdulliah I found you.
May God preserve your wisdom. Well said Tomiwa 👏😍
Every single lesson/tip 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Relationship between self esteem and iman, so true💯❤️
Your lessons are gems !! Truly they are so relatable and I really needed to hear this today. May Allah bless you ! BarakAllah o fik ❤️☺️
As someone who will be 20 soon, I felt like this is the kind of video I needed to see ❤
Aww 🥰 well I pray that your 20s are filled with peace, growth and happiness!!
thank you I needed it BarakAllah oufik
allahuma barikkkkk ur vibe is so refreshing sis jazakallah for sharing this video x may Allah bless you abundantly in this life and the next ameen
I truly needed to hear lesson 13. Thank you 🩷 my body dysmorphia is really taking over my mind at times 😔
you’re beautiful sis 🤍
girl you are such a great person just wanted to say thank you for this video xx🫶🏼
Omo! How I see it is that what’s done is done, the only way now is forward and hopefully upward too 🙏🏽
I recommend everyone to find the forbidden book titled Women’s Magic Truths on Borlest. It goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life.
thank you ❤❤
Thank you !! I will read ittt !!
I loved all the points you made,this was so inspiring and insightful 💞✨
thank you. i align with almost everything you've said and you've taught me things I could use to live a more meaningful life. shukran sis
Videos like this make me depressing because my middle 20s were spent being harassed and stalked by evil and wicked neighbors. So imagine how much worse it is when your 20s are stolen from you rather than you wasting it of your own accord.
Just came.across this video and now imma make a list to change my live a bit for good.Thanks sis May Allah's protection and guidance always be with you 🙏
You really ate with this one, and I'm truly so elated on the path you and your channel is going allahumabarik. This community and vibe it's creating on centering our lives around Islam and Allah is so inspirational and I know it's resulting in me and a lot of girlies to heal and connect/ reconnect with the diin ❤❤. May Allah make this a reason you go to jannatul Firdaws 🫶🫶
Also that hijab style suits you so well you look so elegant ✨️
it’s elegant but not the correct hijab tho !! we shouldn’t encourage that but instead try to advise so that we don’t lead others to do it as well.
The timing of this video is insane. I feel like it really is allah sending it directly to me. Every single point feels like it was made for me.Thank you so much you have no idea
I’m Turning 20 next month this is helpful advice so thank you may god bless and your soul ,lesson 24 was what needed to hear and lesson 11 is also the best advice because a long time ago I was constantly thinking that other people deserve to the place where god wants to take me into .
Beautiful advices. Thank you Tomiwa Rodia❤.
seeing something like this from a muslimah is eye opening tysm
Thank you so much for sharing. These are beautiful lessons and despite the title saying you wasted your early twenties, you did not. Everything happened exactly as it needed to and now you are in a position where you know better and have leveraged previous experience and mistakes to reshape your life and journey. You radiate spiritual growth and display that the lessons you share are rooted in divine purpose and intervention. You are blessed.
Points so I can come back 💖

Once there is self-awareness. The only way from here is growth. All the best.
23, still have 2 years till my mid twenties, I've gone through a lot these past years, but alhamdulillah ,not gonna lie i procrastinated a lot and wasted opportunities, but as you said we all make mistakes, i just hope the mistakes i made won't affect my life forever and ill be able to recover,❤
honestly I don't have any type of faith but I found what you said really useful despite our different beliefs. I also found everything you said very interesting, even when there were some things which I disagreed with. I also loved your energy
