Hey Everyone! I did not expect this video to get picked up like this, but so grateful for every view, every comment. (I've read every single one). It's wild that many of us are seemingly disconnected, yet we share so many similar sentiments. Not that our stories are the same, but the emotions are familiar. Hopefully you can find encouragement but also encourage someone else in the comments! Thank you for joining with me on this journey!

As a child my mom taught me to read using a poem called Desiderata. It was a poem from the 20's on how to be happy. She made me reference it multiple times, even when I didn't expect her to. A part of the poem says: "Do not compare yourself to others, as you may become vain and bitter." My nephew is younger than me, just bought a magnificent house and started a family. I'm a few years older. Living in the basement of my family home. I keep trying to pave the road to a better life for me and my significant other to be free and do the same. So thank you for this video, because it's not an easy path to walk in these particular shoes. Thanks again.❤

"Blooming" is someting sold to us by people with something to gain: influencers, success coaches, enterpreneurship gurus, companies that sell us stuff to "make it big" in this or that thing that would otherwise be just a hobby, and so on. If someone has some special purpose or talent, like an athelete, or musician, or whatever, sure, they can try to be the best and have success on that. For 99% of people on Earth, success is having a good life, paying your bills on time, and normal stuff like having friends and family. But we're taught to want to have the "blooming" of the 1% (or the 0.1%) instead of a fine private life.

Yeah I mean objectively speaking, I am late and 'behind in life' significantly as Im in my late 20s with no career no relationship nothing.. To many people my life probably looks like a death sentence because age/doing something at certain stage in life matters no matter how much we want to deny it. Its also uncertain that I'll ever reach anywhere even as a late bloomer because my mental health is still the same since years ago which played a big part in what caused all this chaos.. idk I feel hopeless but what else can I do. Its either I accept and do whatever I can with what I have and got or death.

I'm 34 going to college, working as a cashier at Walmart full-time, and trying to find an affordable behind-the-wheel driving instructor. I'm extremely behind in life after having a very traumatizing life in my childhood, teenage, and young adult years. It took me a long time to move past it and strategize my way out. But I'm finally taking those steps. Sometimes I get jealous when I see kids whose parents love them, but I know the adversity made me stronger and wiser. Sometimes my old self comes back. Like I get very anxious around people sometimes or when I make a mistake I start shaking because I expect to be yelled at even though logically I know I won't. Or I'll think back to the thoughts I had as a kid that my mom instilled in me like I'm worthless and people would be better off without me. But most of the time, I'm an overall stronger person who can accomplish my goals.

Don't worry about getting everything figured out. Adults don't have it together and they don't have it figured out. They just learned how to fake it. We all have insecurities and we all have anxiety sometimes. Accept it as the norm and don't compare yourself to others. Live life at your own pace.

What's helping me through this, even if your friends are excelling by you, as long as you consistently go at YOUR own pace. You will eventually catch up to them. because the reality is, most people are only consistent for parts of their lives. Otherwise everyoner would be millionaires and billionaires. For me, I learn slow. I need extra time to understand something. But when it speeds up, holy shit it's a force to be reckoned with. The brain and body need time to recover from whatever your doing. The Hare vs the Tortoise. In a world of speed, ironically going slow means going fast later. So keep that your head up. Go after the things you want to do in life. Just be consistent!

I think part of the problem is the concept of “blooming” in general. Your value as a person isn’t found in a spouse or video views. Your worth comes from the experiences you’ve collected. The hurts, and the beautiful moments. We all have those. We are all just learning how to live in the present. That’s the only real goal. Edit: Just to be clear based on responses, I don’t mean the ‘instagram experiences’ that you’ve collected, I simply mean the fact that you exist, and continue to.

Some flowers can’t bloom in certain conditions. The older I get and the more I learn about myself, the more I realize that I was never going to bloom in the conditions I was in. I’ve had generalized anxiety disorder possibly my entire life, I’m afraid of pretty much everything (even writing this comment is a little scary tbh…) There was just no way I could understand and overcome that as a kid or even in my 20s. I’m 32 now, I’ve educated myself on GAD and every day I’m working on overcoming my fears. I *will* get there, someday. Even if it’s a little late, I will bloom eventually. I hope you get to bloom soon as well. Maybe this video is the start of that, who knows? Thanks for making it, it’s such a comfort knowing you’re not alone in this ❤

It’s all just about learning to manage it. Learning what triggers it, learning to face those things and learning that you can actually handle it. I think of it like a backpain you’re never going to be cured of, but instead of never moving to avoid aggrevating it and unintentionally letting all your muscles atrophy and making the situation worse, it’s working out to strengthen those muscles instead and finding different directions to bend over that don’t hurt as much.

I have not dated in years but am waiting for the right man, if that’s supposed to be in my path. I truly believe everyone has their own journey (to learn spiritual lessons).

I personally don't like the concept of "blooming." It insinuates that there is one goal in life (to bloom), and if you don't achieve that, you're a failure. Late or early, our goal is to bloom. But what if you are not a bloomer in the way people think you should. I'm 52, and I have been a teacher, an artist, a writer, and a philanthropist. And now I have an office job as a translator. For some people, they think I haven't bloomed yet because I never reached the peak of a chosen career or had a family.

Being married and having kids is overrated bro.

I’m 40, single, unemployed own nothing, no car, no house. I know where my status is in life, I simply exist left behind with nothing but emptiness Update: Thank you all for the support. Since I last left this message, I am on a new anti depressant medication to treat my anxiety. It seems to have changed my mood as well. There is optimism in the air. I have less triggering experiences of anxiety as well. I have an associates degree and would like to go back to school to earn my bachelor’s degree in software engineering. Despite feeling more optimistic about my future, I’m dealing with a part of myself that is afraid to let go of my pain and hopelessness. I’ve lived with it for so long. At this point it’s my normal. And yet, I’m encouraged to pursuit a new normal. Again thank you all kindly. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone in my mental health struggles

"The thing about late bloomers is that they still bloom." Bars.

You have no idea how much I needed this right now... so thank you for this message. I'm 38 years old, searching for yet another basic job, no college degree, no boyfriend or spouse (because I've never been asked out on a date), and I have so many skills & interests that I really can't figure out what I truly want to do with my life. I'm a Jack-of-all-trades... or I guess a Jill. My mother constantly compares me to others who are younger than me that she taught at students or knows around that are much more successful... you know, like being college grads, earning doctorates & masters degrees, getting married or having children, getting all this praise from others and living their 30s the way she wishes I could have been... and I hate it. It's like, I'm not good enough in her eyes... or that I'm not like her (who also found her purpose in her 20s, had a successful teaching career for 41 years & is now able to live the rest of her days without any financial worry), and every time I explain that I'm not like them or like her, she just shakes her head in disappointment. Dealing with this often makes me feel so depressed... because I just feel like no matter what I do, it'll never ever be enough for her. I know I am a late bloomer. I've known this since probably... middle or high school. I've made so many mistakes in my life that I wish I could take back, just to give it another try... but I can't. I do want to return to college & eventually earn a degree (once I figure out what to go after; if older folks can earn them in their 60-90s, so can I! I'll just... earn it BEFORE that age range.). I want to find love & get married one day, but it has to be the right person (and I have to get over my fear of actually "dating"). I want to find my life's purpose & prove my mother wrong... but she just needs to realize that it will take some time first, and maybe then she'll realize that & be sincerely proud of me once her late-blooming flower of a daughter finally blossoms. 🌸

Hello! I hope you are doing ok. I too have some serious health conditions and have been in and out of the hospital since I was 9 ( I’m 33 now). It absolute takes a toll on your mental health. I’m currently in a wheel chair, got a terrible bone infection 3 years ago that destroyed by right leg. I see people traveling and doing all this awesome stuff with their family and career and it gets very overwhelming sometimes because I know, that’s not how my life is meant to go. I kind of had an awakening though once I truly accepted that. It’s ok if I don’t get to do these things. My life is still filled with joy in other ways and I’ve learned to appreciate that tremendously. The other day, I was looking out my window and saw a hummingbird in if of the trees in my backyard and I started to cry. I praised God I was able to experience that. Appreciating the small victories or simple things in life REALLY matters. We only have this one life. I was tired of wasting it feeling sorry for myself or envious of others. I picked my head up and now only give attention to the things that make me feel BETTER. I hope this helps a little bit on your journey. Keep pushing!!

Love the honesty and self reflection. Love him or hate him, Ray Kroc started with McDonalds at 52. Harlan Sanders created KFC when he was 62! Success is the continuous culminations of our life journey, and everyone's got their own path. Keep up the videos young man!

Its not all real. Remember that.

As I get older now in my 40’s, I realized all the things that I wanted in life are still on their way. I wasn’t ready for those next steps, and I probably would not have appreciated them if I didn’t struggle along the way towards them. The best is yet to come, is my new motto.

This almost feels like one of those internet checkpoints. A safe haven where people just take a moment to reflect and share on all their experiences, worries, dreams, hopes and fears. We need more spaces like this. It's beautiful. Being a late bloomer can definitely feel very lonely. Putting it like the feeling of having been left behind is truly fitting. But I suppose there's always more time to bloom. You just gotta let the blooming take its time

it’s funny when you start talking about it how many other people also feel this way it’s an isolating thing to feel, but nobody’s truly alone in it

Anyways I hope you are doing better and and that the next 6 years are better than the last 6. Just take it a day at a time.

I used to think this philosophy was just a way of masking one’s regrets and disappointments in life. I refused it for so long bc it felt like the type of stuff you say when you accept defeat or whatever. This “all or nothing” mentality is what ended up getting me sick, and sending me to a state where I lost all the status I always prioritized. And thats when I realized that indeed nothing besides that is required. Focus on doing what you like rather the results you will get out of it. Status, money and fame is great but they should never be the goal. I haf to learn it the hard way

I moved to Japan to get a fresh start and hopefully some clarity of my purpose in life. Moving here was very rough-it shattered my confidence even more and now I’m doubting everything. For me I have to either be doing well romantically or career wise. I’m failing in both categories. I’m trying to be more positive but as each year goes by I become older which is like a reminder that I have nothing.

Growing up with a narcissistic father is what caused for me, I could see it not only in myself but also me siblings all of us are behind in lives compared to our peers in career, marriage and sometime I can also see it in our cognitive and social skills. what hurts me the most is not that Im late behind my peers, it's that people decades younger than me are outdoing me in life. I feel like people who experienced parental abuse spend most of their childhood and teens years in survival mood trying to protect themselves and cope with the abuse, suddenly you're 31 and you have no idea what to do with your life or how even this thing called living can be done! you're just existing.

I understand how you feel. It doesn't help me much to ideate on my own misery for long, so I hope you can forgive me for sharing tips with you instead of just talking about our shared woes. For me, prioritizing my health, trusting my gut, and being authentic and honest with myself have made life feel more meaningful, even if it still doesn't feel like I have a future. It makes days more meaningful and I have more opportunities to fill them with things that inspire and excite me. There is freedom in not worrying about tomorrow, but I know it doesn't make the feelings of loneliness and confusion go away. If we can't find people who encourage and appreciate us, the best we can do is try to be that for ourselves. Don't give up, okay? Even if it hurts, we only have this time on Earth and then it's over forever. If you can't bring yourself to dance, try your best just to enjoy the music while it's playing. I believe there's meaning to find in that. I don't know what it is or what it will be, but I believe there is meaning in it. And someday, before we finish our journey here, we'll find out what that meaning is.

Such an impactful six minutes, I had to watch it twice. Thank you for sharing without attempting to pose as someone with all the answers, but instead sharing an authentic experience to which I and many others can relate. I particularly appreciated the part where you question yourself as to whether you actually believe what you are saying about how you perceive your own experience. That is so real. The sincerity that struck me to my core: "Sometimes it just feels lonely, like I was left behind. It's just me by myself in this reality. I don't know." I am in my mid 30's. On the one hand, I am trying to embrace what is, and on the other hand, "I don't know". I romanticize about a life where I did things different. I fear that my life won't "bloom" into a version that I can whole heartedly embrace. It's a scary and lonely place to be. I guess it's just nice to know I am not alone. Thanks.

Thank you for your raw vulnerability Jason. 😢 you had me tearing up a bit. I’m 51 and don’t think I’ve “bloomed” yet. Yet I love this life… even the really hard stuff. ❤

To quote Gandalf: "A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.”

Thanks man for this video. I really needed this. Your message is beautifully said. one of the rare videos tells truth without giving a crappy theory.

I just randomly happened upon this video in my recommended... I just want to sincerely thank you for it. I needed it. "Motivational" videos don't often click with me because they don't feel connected to me and my own challenges. I wouldn't call this a simple motivational video, but a... "sympathetic motivational video", for lack of a better term. An assurance that I am not alone in these issues. It really resonated with me. Life can feel so very overwhelming, but this gave me a chance to step back and breathe. Thanks, again. This is an excellent video and I am saving it to a playlist so I can refer back to it in the future when I am struggling.

Oooh the way I can relate!!! As an unmarried, childless woman in my 30s, who just quit my job to start my own business (and scared shitless), who’s been dreaming about starting my own KZread channel for the past 10 years (but never doing it because I’m somehow scared); I can relate down to the very last word! I almost cried at 3:54 when you said it just feels lonely sometimes…. My peers, and even friends younger than me seem so far ahead in their trajectory. Then I was almost brought to my knees when Chadwick Boseman showed up at 5:20 (RIP may his start always shine bright 🌟). Which would have been embarrassing, cause I’m out on a walk 😅. Anyways, thank you for such a relatable video. It gave me comfort, and motivation to keep forward on my own path; til the day I bloom 🌸.

Immediate follow. As a 35yr old autistic and trauma survivor just starting their life, who has always been called “slow”, just confronting the generational curses my loved ones won’t, never married, one lost pregnancy and no living children-thank you. The way this brought me to TEARS. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🥲💖

Oof. “Late bloomers still bloom” hit like a punch in the heart. Thank you man ❤

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen on KZread. I’ve never connected with anything like this before. This is exactly what I’ve been struggling with and feeling now for the last few years. This gives me an entirely new perspective of things. Thank you.

Jason I'm happy to watch this video, it really made my morning! I'm in my late 20s, and it really resonated with me. I often find myself in awe of my online friends, and feel they are far more talented and smarter. Sometimes, I wish I was born in their time, surrounded by all the cool new stuff I've always dreamed of. It's easy to feel a bit left out and even hopeless on rough days. But your words about being a late bloomer and the metaphor of the late-blooming flower have truly uplifted me. It's a reminder that everyone's journey is unique, and the challenges we face are just part of our personal growth. I've learned from you that it’s okay to face defeats because they lead us to discover our true passions and purposes. Thanks for helping me see that I'm not alone in feeling this way and for giving me hope that growth and triumph are just around the corner. I'm encouraged to embrace my own path with all its complexities. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for the support through your content!

" ...sometimes it just feels lonely. Like I was left behind , it's just me by myself within this reality'". This was very cathartic to hear. I know logically I'm not the only who feels bummed out about their life status, but it's really hard not to feel this way at times. Thanks for making this video. It was very well made and your crop on Mulan's face, chef's kiss😆😚🤌. Also, for anyone who happens to read this, even though I may not know who you are, you'll be in my prayers to help conquer this struggle❤🙏✝.

I've always been a late bloomer: physically, mentally and socially. I am 37 now and just starting my journey. GL out there!

I was tearing up already, but when I saw Chadwick, I had a good cry! Nice to meet you👋🏾 I hope you are finding peace in your journey.

hi! i randomly stumbled on this video and oh man, i've never resonated with something so much. i'm in my early 30s and only recently started pursuing my passions in art and content creation. i quit my corporate job back in 2020 after feeling incredibly burnt out and ever since then, i can't help but feel like i'm behind in life (i no longer have a steady paycheck, the thought of buying a house seems impossible, & have yet to start a family... meanwhile, i'm still working towards my dreams!) it's honestly so comforting and refreshing to see someone going through something similar... it makes me feel less alone in all of this :') so thank you for sharing your story and putting together such an incredible video! can't wait to see more from you!!! - elle

“I guess the thing about late bloomers is, they still bloom.” 22 and lost af but ik I’ll be alright preciate you Jason ❤️

Hey, I'm a 47 year old film director that still hasn't made a feature film yet. You're not alone, late bloomers have a lot to offer society and experiencing success later in life can be a blessing too. You're more mature and better able to handle difficulties bc you know what it's like to lose, be pushed aside and underestimated- but you're working on something that people will one day know how you are.

You spoke to me when I needed most to hear a voice outside my own. Thank you for being honest. I wish you joy with your journey. 💗

I’m almost 25. Left school early due to mental health issues, live at home, don’t have a job, kids or partner and don’t do much for myself let alone go out and about. I am quite an intelligent, helpful, kind, insightful, caring, respectful and creative person but both my health issues and something else within me, a reluctance, fear of being ‘out of my comfort zone’ just stop me from being at my ‘full potential.’

Thank you, Jason. This means a lot to me right now. ✌🏼😌 Been playing music since I was 16. Been woodworking since I was 17. In just the last year (I'm 31 now) I finally started recording my own record, AND building my own furniture business. Feeling like a late bloomer for sure, but I'm just stoked to be blooming! More love, mang.

Many people these days feel that way and I believe it correlates with how much everyone's constantly watching each other on TV or social media. My advice is STOP looking at others so fucking much and learn to focus on what YOURE doing. As soon as I did that I stopped comparing myself and caring about expectations. I literally don't give a shit what any of you have or what your doing anymore because I realized that the internet isn't about community, it's about making money and the only way to get people to spend their money is by getting in your head and making you feel like you don't have enough or whatever. This place is not your friend, it's trying to sell you shit and make you believe that you're missing out or doing something wrong.

You’re right. That’s why I deleted social media. I didn’t want to compare my life to other people’s lives

Wow. Well said.

I'm 28 years old, and I've spent all of my youth barely walking outside, spending most of my time in front of a computer, barely graduating from university. I've helped my parents a lot taking care of my grandmother until she passed away half a year ago, but it also feels like I wasted a lot of time not doing anything to take a place in life. It feels like I'm still stuck inside an 18-year-old boy, not knowing what I want to do or who do I want to become.

I didn't expect to shed tears from feeling this so much. Thank you for making this video. It's really a great reminder that no matter how long it takes, you can still bloom into the person you want to be. ❤

I'am also such a late bloomer. I tried out several things, also studied sports, never made it into the fitness industry, started with twitch since almost 4 years , still use my PS4. I see people who also studied sports and already have their own GYM, I see people who already immigrate to another country, like I wish for. Many times I feel like a complete loser. But than I see people who work in the same factory, the same job, the same boss, the same life. And I keep on moving in my direction and do things my way. Still don't know where the journey leads ........ Your video is so awesome. Many times i think, Being a latebloomer sucks, everything takes so much longer, and for me it is still a challenge to leave my comfy zone. Thanks so much for that video.

If it helps, I lately heard in a podcast that gyms don't make as much money as you think they would and it's nothing the host would recommend 😂 so maybe it worked out that way for a reason for you! Where do you wanna move to?
