Hiii! Thank you so much for this episode. Been listening on Spotify while balling in the car on the way to work and back. I'm 31 this year and trying to fully embrace life's ambiguity and wonder. Accepting all its uncertainties and welcoming the beauty of the unknown. Learning to come to terms with past mistakes, insecurities, and what made me the anxious person that I am today. But putting in the work to breathe, stay active, learning what it means to feel and be okay regardless whether it's good or bad or in the spectrum of both. Thank you for being so open. As an educator, I cannot agree more about learning to be vulnerable, honest and holding space and building a safe space for others to express and continue to learn about themselves. I could go on and on about the education system too, but I guess we do what we can with what we have for now. Much love and care to all! ❤️
Sending you so much love , Kirsten! I am learning to accept it all too, definitely not a linear journey but we got this :) Thank you for sharing your heart too.
I'm turning 25 this year and I'm still single; always have been since forever. Heck, I don't even know when I'll get into a relationship, but I'm enjoying my singleness as much as I can now. I used to think that I should get married by 27, but screw that cos I don't mind getting married by 30 or after that. I'd wanna pursue my goals and dream, and prioritise my mental health journey as well. Thank you for sharing this, Maggy! It was very insightful; felt like a big sis sharing and imparting wisdom to me. 🥺♥
Same, turning 26 and always been single. I've already given up hoping to get married. I'm focusing on my career and working towards to my goal to success
@@TheAmbrosia1996 damn I never felt so related to. I'm also single since birth and in my late 20s. Now I'm living in fear knowing all my peers are attached and slowly getting married. People tell you to love yourself but its not easy when you think you're not lovable and something must be wrong with yourself. I try to focus on work and career (which I'm doing quite well in) but a part of me will always fear the loneliness for a lifetime. It's even harder when you see yourself being a little more left out from your peers because you don't have this one thing in common. As much as many people ask to value singleness, it always comes from people who are attached and even though I don't hate Maggy in anyway it does make you feel abit upset at times.
@@madelynn_18 I don't feel left out yet since many of my friends are still single haha. I fear the future where I have no one to hang out or eat with. Friends are now disappearing into thin air. Everyone has their own life and new friend circles. It's scary that it's already happening and I'm only in my 20s. But it's true that those who say to value your singleness are the ones who already experienced love. They don't know the feeling of not having anyone to even date.
@@TheAmbrosia1996 Ah I see, but yeah I definitely relate in terms of fearing the future of being left behind. Just a slight difference where most of my peers are attached and I can feel them drifting apart from me and sticking with those of the same "status" as them. It's very stigmatising honestly :( "Working and loving on yourself" is hard when the people around doesn't seem to help you see that.
Hi Maggy. I turned 30 in March too and girl, I AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE THING THAT YOU SAID. I felt like I was not ready to be 30. I did not sit in the dark room, but I remembered feeling very overwhelmed a few hours before my birthday. One thing I wish someone would constantly remind me when I was in my 20s is to stop comparing myself with others. With instagram and facebook and even LinkIn, I get to see updates from all my high school friends and I often wonder why am I not as successful compared to them. Some of them are married with kids, some have amazing career, some travel a lot. And then here I am... reaching 30 but still figuring out life. I often felt stuck, but I have came to a realisation that everyone has their own timeline. Everyone's story is different. And EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. Thank you so much for opening up to share your life, Maggy. I know it's not easy sometimes. I feel like you are right here having a conversation with me although I'm just watching from RU-vid. Haha... Appreciate you! Sending love all the way from Penang.
I can relate to the death and feeling unaccomplished part. For me personally it's like a dust storm especially with my anxiety and depression, everything is clouded and is in a limbo.... This episode is so relatable 👍👍👍
Don't repeat the same mistakes thank you for all the wise words I'm 32 and I ran my first 10k for birthday as a present to myself go challenge myself and learn to run my own race
