i just realised life isn’t about achieving goals. i think we got that idea from social media, especially tik tok .. that we always have to have a goal and everything you do should have a meaning. what’s important is the lessons we learn in the process of achieving these goals. it happened so many times for me to end up feeling unsatisfied right after i achieved a goal i had for years. and the reason is because i just thought about the outcome and i didn’t learn any lessons, i stayed the same. we blindly follow and strive to be the best version to the point we lose ourselves on the way.
As a girl who has just turned 18 and wants to be a writer and more intune with myself spiritual and creatively, this video was so so lovely to watch! Thank you for giving us your precious advice Karissa and hope you had a lovely birthday angel!
Watching this video after having lost a friend to a terminal illness just a few days ago. He was only 28 years old and had such a vibrant energy, such a light, so much talent and potential. You're right when you say getting old is a privilege. Like you, it always scared me, the idea of losing my "beauty", whatever that might mean. Now I finally understand that getting old, and watching your loved ones grow old with you, is a honor and a privilege.
As a fellow woman who also just turned 25 in December, this was so refreshing and helpful. I love your content and how your spirit shines through so brightly ❤️
You made me wanna make a list but watching this video, I’ve learned all the same things. I’m turning 19 the day after tomorrow and I’ve been so worried about getting older but I know I shouldn’t worry because beauty comes with all ages.
1:50 intuition ~ anxiety 2:55 not everyone will like you 3:24 environment affects everything make sure you have safe roots 4:06 social media 5:29 aging is a priviligde 6:10 becoming prettier is not confidence 7:26 you are not your achievements 8:00 you can only control your actions 9:08 absolutely everything is happening for you 10:25 your relationship with yourself 11:05 being fearless is not having no fear, but being courageous in spite of that 11:42 communication 13:06 two chances is enough 13:54 my creativity is my guide 15:17 sensitivity is a great power 15:57 nature nurtures 16:59 we are not designed to carry the load of guilt 17:56 growth can only come when you get out of your comfort zone 18:47 travelling is crucial 19:48 listen to your body 20:34 I am more than one lifetime 21:42 being weird is the best compliment 22:02 consumerism will never fill that void 23:22 envy and gratitude cannot co-exist
5:56 as a 41 year old woman, I concur. Even though I know why we feel the pressure, it's still there. Aging has been difficult for me, emotionally and mentally. It's a stark reminder of how fleeting all of this life is
On #12, the biggest thing I learned now that I'm 22 is to ask myself "Are you holding people to rules that you didn't communicate to them? Are you holding them to an ultimatum that you haven't spoken to them about?" and really check myself and force myself to communicate haha. Another big rule that I'm constantly trying to enforce with myself is to ignore subtext!! I need to ignore passive aggression, if someone has something they want to say they can say it clearly or not at all. I'm not going to sit here and decipher someone's motives or feelings when they refuse to be upfront about something.
Happy birthday karissa! I hope you feel the love I'm sending you and that this new cycle of your life is full of blessings and achievements! I feel so connected to you through the community you've created with your social media that I feel like a close friend of mine is having a birthday (it's crazy how that's possible). I hope you achieve everything you want and that you do everything in your own time and with a lot of passion for whatever it is. 🎀✨️🎀
I’m going to be 19 this summer and I was so so stuck into trying to do all these things so I could meet my families expectations for me and I realized I wasn’t doing what I really wanted. Right now I just wanna focus on saving and moving forward with things that make me happy. This video helped me realize that’s what my intuition wants. You’ve even inspired me to start a yt channel. Thank you ❤
Each day my love for her just continues to grow. Whenever I look at her, I see myself. Karissa, I wish you the happiest birthday and thank you so much for making me slowly love my sensitivity and embrace my femininity. I love you and wish you nothing but the best
the 25 things 🪄 1. Anxiety sprints, intuition glides 2. Not everyone is going to like you, and that’s okay 3. Environment affects everything, make sure you have safe roots 🌱 4. Social media is a highlight reel 5. Aging is a privilege 6. Becoming “prettier” doesn’t make you more confident 7. Don’t define yourself by your achievements 8. The only thing you can control is your actions & your perspective 9. Absolutely everything is happening for you, and if you give it time, you’ll see it too 10. Your relationship with yourself is the one that needs the most nurture 11. Being fearless is not having no fear, but being courageous in spite of it 12. Communication breeds trust, lack of communication breeds resentment 13. Two chances is enough 14. My creativity is my guide 15. Sensitivity is a superpower, but with great power comes great responsibility 16. Nature nurtures, it is a mother to all. If you need to be held, go outdoors ☀ 17. We are not designed to carry the load of guilt, regret or shame 18. Growth can only happen if you step out of your comfort zone (whether you step willingly or are pushed forward with force) 19. Traveling is crucial, it brings lessons that cannot come forward if you’re standing still 20. Listen to your body, it keeps the score 21. We carry more than one lifetimes within us, I am a mere product of everyone in my bloodline who came before me 22. Being called weird is a huge compliment 23. Consumerism will never fill that void, nor will it carve out your identity 24. Envy and gratitude cannot co-exist 25. I am not my flesh, I am my spirit. I am not my ego, I am my soul 🌟
Thank you for being honest about your struggles. Sometimes we see beautiful people living beautiful lives and we compare ourselves. Nice to hear you go through it just like all of us!
i feel like when i get old I'll finally be free and full of wisdom and that wisdom will be the biggest thing that I'll cherish and not beuty in patriarchal way, my wrinkles will be the proof that i smiled and enjoyed life
I can't tell you how glad I am to come across your channel and content. I also turned 25 this year and left so many of my dreams behind because I didn't feel good enough or felt there wasn't enough time anymore. Your content and your perspective on life really helped me to take another look at what is important to me and to start taking steps to work toward it
Karissa i love your channel, i love your energy, you're so magnetic and smart, i really admire you. I hope you achieve all your dreams 🩷 beijinhos from Brasil 🇧🇷

i could just cry:') thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. your channel has meant so so much to me over the past few months, and UGH i hope this is your best year yet! happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Karissa! I just turned 28 this month (Capricorn) and I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting lately on how much my life has changed and how I’ve been really coming into myself. 25 was so rough for me but you seem to have learned some lessons already that I hadn’t yet. I hope you have a great year! ❤
Happy birthday karissa! as someone who's like 4 years younger than you I needed to hear this. It is all very true with some of the things I already know as well as the stuff I didn't. ♥
all of these hit home so deeply so thank you ☆☆☆ cause i needed to hear all of this after having a very tough day today. happy birthday karissa, you're precious!! 🕯🤍
Karissa, you are my star, really. My birthday was at 23th of January too. It’s really nice to know, that there is such cool, interesting fucking special and bright person like you, that was born at the same day as me. happy belated birthday to you. You are amazing. I fell in love with your character, thoughts and vibe the day, I found your channel. You have an amazing trait. You make people feel loved. Thank you so much for this.
Happy birthday blessed angel. You’ve given me a whole different perspective of life. Thank you for being you and giving me the courage and strength to be myself and get through this earth ✨🫶🏽
just turning 15, for the new year, my goals are to create better habits and routines. all i need rn is to be in tune and better myself for future nicole. bc when the time comes for me to enter adulthood, the last thing i need is struggle (not saying i won’t encounter it, but at least i’ll know how to handle it in a healthy way). i also just want to protect my future relationships and kids and raise them in a house of peace, love and comfort. thanks for the video 🖤
25 was a pretty rough year for me but I somehow managed to take also a lesson from every year that past by. I'm so grateful for this video because what I truly need to learn the most is to follow my intuition rather then my fear. I don't know yet how to fight that beast but the fact that you start to learn to live after your intuition motivates me to keep the hope and keep going ❤ I appreciate you thank you love ❤
I’ve been binging all your videos in the last day and I can say that I feel so much happier when I consume your content. It makes me feel so joyful and focused on being myself and my creativity. I truly love your energy. To be Frank my mom is very ill and doesn’t have much time left. I’m so scared of life without her and I’m so angry she got so sick. I’m not sure what the future holds but I hope she is with me in whatever way she can be. Your content has helped and I just wanted to share that. Ps. I think you look so much like camila morrone from Daisy jones and the six
Happy birthday beautiful!! ❤️ I just turned 24 a few weeks ago, and what you mentioned about second chances being enough, I really needed to hear that. I hope you have a wonderful 25 😊🎂

your outlook on life is so beautiful and inspiring. i'm a teenager who struggles with mental health, and your words of wisdom bring me a total sense of peace and hope. thank you for sharing
Happy birthday Karissa!!!!! I usually don't comment, but I just feel like this video was like such divine timing for me... I'm turning 21 next month(pisces
Turning 27 this year. I agree with everything you said 🤍 My biggest lesson is that people are seasonal and nothing lasts forever, both good and bad things.
