It's crazy that for many of us millennials, when we were kids, we thought that by our 30's we would be marry, living in our forever homes with a stable dream job and maybe with one or two kids. And now, he we are - just beginning our lives, change paths now and again, learning each day more about ourselves and about the world, trying to stay sane, alive and afloat regardless of what life throws at us with each passing year, struggling to make sense of all of this, but most importantly - persevering in searching for joy and happiness in the little things in life, in those little moments that make us happy whilst tracing our own individual paths. Star strong, Lindie! 화이팅! ガンバレ ! ♡

Gosh tell me about it... it's a (lie??) societal message that we're pushed, especially as women, that we should be married by 30 or something is wrong with us. Whew. I'd rather be single at 30 than settle to be with the wrong person tbh! I love what you say about learning each day about ourselves and the world. Thank you for sharing ♡

@LindieBotes nothing is wrong with us it's the world we are living in it's not kind anymore and it's impossible to please... we are taught to live and love and be kind.. it turns there are lots of people expecting you to live like them no one wants you to be different and treated poorly if you are.. I'm 36 did single at a lowpaid job everything right and important for my siblings worked low paying jobs to be there for my 2 orphaned younger siblings.. called unwanted or unlovable or fool..and my older siblings make fun of me for not marrying men they know.. guess what I'll choose all these choices all over again because we only live once and we are allowed nooo are supposed to get up after we fall down we make our choices because this is our life.. let them live the way they want do want they want... we need to love ourselves because we matter... live life Happily ❤

Adding timelines for our lives can be beneficial but so many people think it’s the only way to do things and will act surprised or judgmental when you’re making adjustments or starting over.

At 28 years old, going to 29, I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, PMBCL lymphoma. One year later I’m 30 and I have to build my life from scratch. After many surgeries and 700 hours of chemotherapy I’m okay and I’m in remission but life is not the same. Few months before the diagnosis, I’ve moved to my husband’s country. So I’m in a new country, without any kind of stable career and facing health challenges. Life is unpredictable but it is beautiful too. You are not alone!

I honestly admire you so much. You are so smart, disciplined and well versed in many skills! A designer, a youtuber and video editor, a polyglott! Even though unexpected and unwanted change is so hard, when we look at all the things you are, the kind of person you are, there is apsolutely no chance you won't do amazing things in life! This change can be an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, starting a new, expanding your horizons! Comfort is great, and being close to someone and feel secure in life is ultimately the goal, BUT, there is so much time for you to have that! Nothing is lost and it's definitely not too late. You will just start your life now! No longer a student but fully independent, no children or spouse to have to consider when moving or achieving your goals or spending money. Just out there doing whatever you want for yourself. No compromises for any of your wishes! And then, everything else will fall in place. You will grow and expand and blossom, and others things and people will magnetically be drawn to that. Just don't be afraid, or be afraid and do still what you dreamed of, you got this! ❤

Thank you for sharing your story. As you can see from the comments, so many of us 29 year olds are going through similar things and it's nice to know that we're not alone in our experiences. Our 20s are full of big decisions and some of them are incredibly difficult, such as leaving a job. However, I am so glad your health is doing better. I studied abroad in Spain and had the opportunity to travel around the country, as well as to other countries in Europe. If you want recommendations or to talk through anything, I am happy to do so! I am so excited for you! Since you also love learning, I want to recommend Stephanie May Wilson's books and podcast Girls Night. She's got a cool testimony of how she came to faith (The Lipstick Gospel), which includes traveling to Europe, and her writing is so relatable and honest. It feels like chatting with a friend. I've been following her for a few years now and have bought some of her prayer journals, all of which I love. Not only does she talk about many of the things that we face in our 20s, but what I think you'll find really cool in particular is that she's moving to Spain in the near future! She actually just released a book, which I haven't read yet, that talks about how our mid-20s to mid-30s is our "everything era" where we're making so many huge decisions and how to navigate that. I wanted to share about her because I have the feeling you'd really like her too 🙂 P.S. I'm going to Tokyo and Seoul for the first time towards the end of August through the beginning of September. I'm SO SAD that I'm missing you by a couple of months. I would've loved to meet you!

It was hard, it didn't feel good, I was sick for weeks... I'm here now 2 years later in Romania, living life peacefully and quietly among the mountains. Thinking I'd never leave South Africa and now being on the other side of the globe, it's astounding, and I'm only 27 years old.

I've been struggling a lot with the language and the job market and it definitely feels like I'm starting life all over again at a place where nobody knows me and my qualifications don't seem to matter as much as they were in my home country (Dominican Republic).

Hi, my life absolutely broke down a little over a year ago, when I was 26. After almost 6 years my fiancé broke up with me (cheated and didn’t want to work it out). I found a better person for me, ditched my corporate job and then my dad passed away. I earn a lot less money now but work my absolute dream job and I am with someone who truly appreciates me. I also just got out of hospital, so health is not great yet but working towards it. Next year, I will be going back to finish my bachelor’s degree. We are in a very similar situation and it’s a relief to know that more people before 30 are changing their life around.

I also loved Divine Rivals (a fantasy with political stuff) and The Inheritance Games (YA thriller/mystery with a lot of puzzle solving and plot twists). P.S.

At 29 I made a dession to leave my life in Korea after 5 years. I got laid off, several relationships did not go well and I was depressed after 5 years of streght up grind. I decided to go back to my home country Ukraine, which at 2020, was a wonderful place despite even COVID restrictions. I moved back with my parents to start and that set off new set of issues. A year later I found myself fleaing the country because of the war. Now, 2 years later I am trying to figure my life in Europe, where I would like to stay and life does not seem easy at all. The best investment during this time for me was to start psychotherapy. It's a place where I can get support when I deal shit in my life, no matter if it comes from my personal issue which are rooted in bunch of trauma or external shit that happens from the outside world. I know it's not something everybody can afford, but I don't think I would have been a sane person if I haven't reached out for help.

With your experience in different cultures, I’d be so curious what you think of the book Yellowface, by Rebecca Kuang. It’s about “who has the right to tell a story and profit from it?” with a super unlikeable narrator who justifies her actions in a way that makes you question your own judgements

Book recomendation: Notes from a Tilt-a-Whirl by ND Wilson. Unlike any other Christian book you have read before. Don't judge it by its cover. If you like Mishima you will like this book. Really hope you read this comment! I'd like to send you a copy if you're interest ❤️

I really wondered where your Engagement Ring was. So that riddle is solved. The Rest is your private issue where we aren't involved. I don't think starting all over again with 29 is too late. You speak several languages, ui/ux designer are searched for and the world is big. Finish your degree (that's stressful enough (friend of mine is going through this right now) and then the world is yours

I still have it because I designed it >:D and sometimes I wear it because it was made from my mom's and grandma's gold/diamonds, so it has sentimental value for me in that sense. I've removed it of it's connection to my ex. Thank you for your comments!

"unemployed" with really built hard skills, you get easy a new job. Your ex was really fast, so probably he would give you many headaches in the future, be glad you were delievered from this.

30 years old, unemployed for 1 year (quited after 3 years of abuse) , single (and celibate) for 4 years, no friends except my sister, still living with my parents, OCD, GAD and depression diagnosis. And I thank God for every single thing. I am med free for a year now, I built my body in the gym and although I may "lack" any things, I have my life and health ans the people that I love the most. Heads up people we will never surrender 💪🏻

Your story is very similar to mine, except I don't have depression, OCD, or GAD. I only have three friends: God, my mom, and my dog. I've also been celibate for many years, and it was the best decision I ever made. What you said is true, being healthy is the most important thing. It doesn’t matter if you have relationships or a great job; if you are not healthy, everything falls apart.

Great video. I was a process control engineer (just retired 2/21/24) I would always stress test my projects just to make sure it would work under all conditions. Also depending on the government. But I found away of earning more income despite my Retirement. $67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.

I just turned 30 this week, and am in a very similar boat, except my life hasn't really started yet. I've never been married, engaged, or in a serious relationship. I had serious mental health issues in my early 20s that I didn't get help for til I was 25, and that's mostly what I've worked on for the last 5 years. I'm just now getting my life started. We got this Lindie

I didn't even realize how stressed I was at my previous job even though my eye was twitching almost constantly. I went to the doctor, they did a bunch of tests and nothing, of course. Almost half of my face was twitching at that point. I finally decided to quit my job. The next day after leaving it my muscles stopped twitching and it never came back. Your body often tells you to stop what you are doing if it's too much. And now you have the freedom to do whatever. And I also want to move to Spain soon btw. :))

I'm starting over at 40. Others are starting over at 50, 60, 70 and on. The stability of marrying for life and working at one company until you retire is just not a thing anymore. We will all be starting over at multiple points and for differing reasons and not all of us will be happier or sadder than we would have been in the alternative life, but I do think we'll be more interesting.

i am also 29 F, have quit my job with no back up.. Felt physically and mentally sick from the job. my partner, friends and family saw me change (i wasnt bubbly anymore) I was depressed and tired. I ended up making the decision to leave. I felt like i made a huge mistake yet the right decision (huge mistake bc no income yet my health is improving!)😅 I felt ashamed like i failed at life, but i’m so glad to see i’m not the only one experiencing this ‘crisis’ at 29-30. I wish you all the best in life :)

It's actually very common for people around 28-30. It's everybody's first Saturn return, makes us question our whole life, switch careers, divorce, move to different countries, buy a house. Which is actually a good thing, because you become more authentic through such experiences

This video provokes so many emotions, I've cried, I've laughed, felt inspired. I'm 32 now, unemployed, trying to change career, starting struggling with money, lost my dad 3 years ago. I have so many hopes and dreams and ideas, desperately want to move to another country (Spain as well), but also there're so many fears and uncertainties.
