The key to being happy: just know you're never going to make your asian mom happy. The best you can do is live your life the way you won't feel regret.
The RU-vid gods have chosen you with whatever their algorithm magic is. It’s your personality that draws all of us who are sticking around. You don’t need to do anything special, seriously. Your life is different than what we’re living and that ‘escapism’ is what makes me come back. I get to experience South Korea ..because the reality of me traveling there myself ..well, the chances are super thin. Thank you for being willing to share what you do. 🥰
Awe! This is such a meaningful comment. I appreciate this so much, thanks for the encouragement, and I believe that you will be able to make it out here one day! Take care ❤️!
Aww bless you! I am pushing 40, only just finishing my PhD and I after graduation I plan to pack everything up and move to Korea to teach English. People around me think I'm bonkers but we have to do what makes us happy, not just what our parents want us to do. Once I realised that, I was way happier. Anyway, loving your videos and can't wait to see what comes next. xx
Hi hi, new subscriber! You make excellent content, I like the pace, your vibe, and just seeing that your life isn't ~ perfectly aesthetic ~ all the time is nice. Being a teacher is rough. Putting your students needs above your own- constantly. I hope you find time to remember yourself. Anyways, subscribed!
Hii Cat !!! I recently came across your videos and became a fan of you because you're one of the most relatable persons I have seen in these different social media platforms. Seeing you figuring out your life & going through daily life crisis gives me motivation like I'm not alone who is feeling lost. Being in my 20's it's easy to compare myself with people who have all figured it out, but sometimes being lost is maybe what makes life more enjoyable. Hope everything turns out as you wish in your life & better. I just love you and your videos!! Keep going Girl !!! 💕💕
Hahah this actually made me smile, aweee you are so sweet! Thanks for the encouraging words and agreed it's hard when we compare our lives to the shiny and flashy but in reality everyone has highs and lows. Hope you also have an amazing week. Take care! ❤️
That's rough getting berated by a parent when you would hope they'd lift you up. And honestly, your 20's are usually super tumultuous and you can still change as a person in that time as well. I'm still learning to survive in the adult world and I'm in my 30's now, so you're not alone. Looking forward to the visa and "how to move" video in the future!! Good luck with work and the childrens!!
Thanks for sharing, Cat! The older I get the more I realize figuring out life is something we will need to keep seeking at every stage of our lives. Like you said, Rome wasn't built in a day, so let us keep on taking baby steps and discover the path that God has planned out for us! P.S. I hope you can eventually find a better balance for your life in Korea:) Missing you from Cowtown!
Hi Cat! I am newly subscribed 😊. I just wanted to say, I think teachers are such important people in our world. The students you teach are lucky to have you! With love from Calgary, AB, Canada 🇨🇦
Girrrrrlll... let me tell you; you are doing an amazing job with these videos!!!. I am a recent subscriber and I have to say your content is very cool. Keep doing it 'cuz is just great. Your editing process is lit... it kind of seems effortless, but I can tell how much you think of it. I also like your vibe and your organic personality; so keep doing you, because you are AWESOME!!
As being a much older woman who has looked for meaning and happiness in this world for years I can tell you I finally found it in Christ Jesus. I enjoy your content and sweet spirit!
My best friend went to teach in Korea and found the hours exhausting as well. It's such a beautiful country though - even if you don't want to socialise much on a Saturday you can try to see some of the country-side and some of the museums and parks if you like that kind of thing.
Hang in there, Cat! I went through some troubling times couple of times myself, felt lost...but I am stil here! You will also find your path, do not worrry, patience...wish you good luck :)!
Your channel is very intresting. Nature can really help and heal. I love walking in the forest and you have the right feeling, when you take time and rest. Enjoy this and i hope you have more happy moments and not to stressful days and weeks. By the way, i make a long therapy because my Mom and other things in my life they very very difficult. I am 34 and sometimes i need a break from there advices and sometimes i wish i have more empathie around me, specially love from her. I wish you have better times and Greetings from me, from Germany❤
I completely relate to this, my mum was the same way! Just follow your own path darling, you are doing a great job of it all. You will make some mistakes but that's how we learn and grow right? You are still at the beginning of your journey and it's true that the experience of it all is what matters. You can do ANYTHING you want, focus on what makes you happy and fulfilled. We are excited to watch it unfold. You got this girl 🫶
I'm a new follower. I find your videos very interesting; I certainly can identify with many of the things you discuss. I lived in Korea 1982-83, courtesy of the US Army I served as an officer on General Staff. I committed to getting out and experiencing as much of Korea as possible. I had no specific plan, I just wanted to experience and enjoy. In my case, it doesn't have to apply to you, it changed my life. I made life-long friends and I met and married my wife. We go back on a regular basis to see our family and friends - Korea is truly an amazing place. My professional career has been very successful, but nothing like I thought it would be. I simply pursued opportunities as they were presented and did the best I could. I continued to pursue opportunities when they were available and I was interested. You will do fine. Enjoy your experience and time in Korea.
Wow you've definitely had a lot of experiences in life, thats super cool, thanks for sharing your story! and agreed Korea is so great and I love it a lot! Thanks for the encouraging words and support. Hope you have a fantastic week!
As a fellow asian, I feel ya. If you haven’t, share some things that make you happy at your job with your mom. If there are things that make you excited to go to work, share those too. What you’ve accomplished so far is amazing. Keep on keeping on.
New Subscriber here! Your personality really shows in your videos. So relatable with a quirky yet chill vibe. Whatever you’re doing it’s working. You got It girl! And choose what makes you happy in life. Waiting for the next video!❤
Gurl, I'm in my 30s and I still can't make my asian parents proud. I had a great job and errthang but was being hounded to get married and have kids ASAP. I moved across the world with my fiance and I still get nagged LOL. Anyway my point is to enjoy your 20s, enjoy life (like you are doing now!). You only live once. I think you're a brave person to up your life and move across the world by yourself where you don't even speak the language. You'll look back later and think "Gee I did well for myself!"
wow. your mom sounded like my mom telling me how I'm wasting my life and my career isn't a career, that I should just get a PhD or study Law. Only my mom is more condescending. Live your life, Cat.
I love ur personality and how real you are! Thank you for your videos! I do have a question. I'm 19 and decided to make the big decision to dropout of college to pursue a dancing career. It was hard especially being Asian. Anyways, I think about moving to Korea one day and living there for a year or 2. But because I don't have a college degree is it possible to get a job there? How does it work being a foreigner there?
Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words! So for the teaching jobs you need a college degree, however you can come on some other visas, you could look for applying to an arts academy! (so like a student visa) Theres also a creators visa you could look into! Sorry I don't know the specific names of those I came on the teaching visa so I can only speak to that!
We don't always understand what God has in plan for us, if God leads you to be a teacher/tudor..then do that. I understand parents from some certain ethnic cultures have a harder time understanding that.
😇Let's pray, friends. May Allah send Hz. Mahdi (as) and Hazrat. May Allah reveal the Prophet Jesus ⏳ We will experience the Golden Age very soon. Love, peace, brotherhood, friendship, wealth, freedom, art, chastity, cleanliness, beauty, goodness, quality, comfort and trust will prevail all over the world. ✨👑💜 Women will be highly valued, racism and colonialism will be completely eliminated; A wonderful world is coming where goodness and love prevail. Good news to all of us 😌🙏😍
