I'm 45 and still evolving. I think if you aren't continuously "finding" yourself you have stopped growing as a person.

I also felt trapped in my early 20s. I was in a graduate program that I did not feel happy in. I was in the lowest part of my life until I decided I was going to take ownership of my life and apply for a different program that I never thought I was good enough to be accepted in. Well, I was accepted and now in my mid-20s happier than ever. I took on more responsibilities and somehow counterintuitively I became happier. I completely agree with having multiple identities because it's just as you said-if one gets rough you can just shrug it off bc it doesn't define who you are as a whole.

I'm 38 and have been unemployed since the start of the pandemic. The career path I took as a motion picture projectionist seems to be a dead end now. So I am trying to figure out how to start over. You never truly stop growing and learning. Love to you, Monica. đź’™

thank you for being so vulnerable with us.

@evepaludan7713
This might be one of the most helpful and important videos you've made. I'm going to watch it again and write some of your wisdom in my journal. By the way, I'm a grandmother. Thank you, Monica!
@katniss3daine3
This felt more like a conversation and I really enjoyed it! I am happy you are making steps to create the life you want. I actually bought that book in March and I have been obsessed! Sort of a funny coincidence that lets you know you are going in the right direction. I am moving states and terrified, so this felt like a small sign. Wishing you nothing but happiness Monica!!
@sandy949
Your happiness shows on your face! Love the double Church posts. Have a great weekend!
@codycarkner941
I started watching your videos a little bit before the pandemic started and not to be dramatic but I went thru many of the same life changes that you did pretty much to a T. And watching this video a year later makes me so happy for you but also for myself. Keep kicking ass and taking names!!!
@juless3541
So many things you talked about in this video are an EYE-OPENER really!! I have had thoughts like these before but never realized where to put them. THANK YOU for being YOU! This helping, honest and caring is a quality that is part of your identity and why I love following you, Monica. xx Julia

Your BEST vid...love the honesty...and...you said what so many are feeling...life is a constant journey of finding yourself (and self evaluation)...
@GoGoSachiko
Not even halfway through and I just resonate with what you’re saying!! I’m a little older, 31 and I still struggle with confidence and negative self speak. It’s a journey, and it takes a lot of healing.
@caithorsingaround
I read once that having 8 ongoing “projects” or things is a way to stay motivated because everything isn’t banking on one outcome.
@SarahSchneider2
27 and never been in a relationship. I have had a lot of crushes but nothing worked out. Probably for the best but I also am also like why can't that be me when I see people with their boyfriends.
@YuanQ
I read the book and the analogy of the ocean hit so hard! We're so scared to make a decision because we're scared it'll lead us down a path that won't make us happy and we feel like we wasted time but not making a decision can be torture too! It's better to make a decision and see for yourself if you actually like it or not than to stand still and wonder.
@Lily_oii
I struggle a lot with mental health. Learning about myself, what I enjoy and what makes me happy is very important to me. Cleaning, being productive, getting things done, being around family, having time to myself, reflecting, being kind to others, and putting myself as priority. I’m so glad I put in the work! I’m happy where I’m at. This is where I want to be :)
@conquerordie230
The best advice I ever got was even though you can't control what thoughts pop into your head, you control which ones you choose to listen to. I admire your entrepreneurial spirit and the courage you have to put yourself out here and take us along for the journey. Believe it or not whenever I need some motivation I find watching one of your videos does the trick. I tell myself "Yo, this girl is out here making videos, getting her real estate license, renovating rental properties, what the hell am I doing with my life?" So keep on keeping on!
@seshadhri_s
Thank you for this video. Especially the last part about friendships and relationships. I had a friendship breakup about a year ago and I am still struggling with it because it was from the only person I had ever considered to be my best friend. Thank you so much.
@elizabethbarragan8134
This video is literally what I just needed right now!
