"Still feeling like a child and having to be an adult" describes it pretty accurate

i watched an interview with Sally Rooney where she said that she doesn’t create characters, she creates dynamics. she starts with the dynamics and builds the characters around them and their different dynamics with different characters. it’s brilliant in my opinion.

Resounding in my head for a while, yes. :)

This video was surprisingly emotional. I teared up a bit in the end and I have no idea why. I think I realized that I'm a 20 something woman with a lot of occupation, seemingly doing great in life but have very limited time to spend with friends. And this broke me a bit. It's a sad world truly. Not because of tragedy, but because we don't prioritize the happy encounters enough. Also, it's been a while since I read a book and feel such satisfaction with it. I miss that feeling. PS: Your editing in this video is pure perfection. Congrats!

yeah living in a capitalist society that values our productivity and consumerism over our humanity sucks. im a student paying my way through college while having a full time job. doing it all so i can graduate with a degree i don’t want but that will get me a job that i also don’t want. it’s scary. hope things get better for you and you find that book!!

There is something incredible about a book hitting at that perfect time in your life. Really enjoyed this - I feel like I sat and reflected on life and twenty-something-ness with you. (and the little asmr type sounds scattered throughout were a wonderful touch… maybe that’s why I felt so present?? :)

The existential crisis of your 20s is “my friends are getting married” vs your 30s when it becomes “my friends now have kids and my parents were my age when I was born” that hit different levels of “what am I doing with my life”.

Plant tips: Cut out the dead parts of the plant, they are smothering the rest of the plant! Replanting them is also important but if you don't have time now get some plant food to nourish the soil they are in.

I relate so much to what you said about feeling like you're behind in life. I believe we are the same age and so many are getting married and having kids. It's not what I want for myself at the moment, but it still makes me feel so weird and melancholic. I still feel like I'm way too young for these things. It makes me feel like I am living my life in the wrong way (which is stupid, because there is NO right way), but I feel like I did something wrong at some point in my life. I graduated with master's last year, now I'm working at a notary office and I'm still living with parents to save money for an apartment. + I also liked Beautiful World Where Are You so much more than Normal People.

I’m 28 and feel the exact same way. I feel like I’m still right out of college but I’m not. I’m expected to have children soon and get married (which I want to do with my partner but I’m not ready at all) but I never feel like it’s the right time. It’s kind of sad sometimes to realize how much time has passed but not feeling like it has.

I feel the same and I'm 27, there's so much pressure while I don't want to get married unless I find a nice guy, as for children I don't want any. I'm still healing from early 20s trauma and I still want to make my dreams come true.

@aroonia8

@@whateverbabe It's so sad that so many others feel that awful pressure. I mean, I was barely 20 when I started getting questions whether I have someone special and if I'll have children. I've always been told by others that I'm weird because I've never been in a serious relationship and I don't date casually. I'm rather forever single than just date just for the sake of it. And so far I haven't met anyone for whom I'd change that. I'd much rather be alone forever than be in a relationship for the wrong reasons. And when I answer that I don't need anyone and I'm not sure whether I will ever have children I only get negative responses. It sucks that even the closest people don't understand that what I want from them is just to wish for me to be happy and understand that for me happiness is not connected to my relationship status or whether I will or will not have children. They force this view on me that if I don't do the same things as the majority of the people do then my life isn't complete and I won't be happy. Not everyone wants the same things in life and it should be okay.

@@aroonia8 I totally understand how you feel! I actually admire the fact you didn't settle down for less than what you deserve, I didn't want relationships before but I ended up loving a guy who became so controlling and manipulative through time, I wasted a decade of my life on him and at the end I just lost feelings and left it. Now I'm focusing more on myself and I honestly would rather live my whole life single and not go through the same thing. Cause relationships require a lot, you get the responsibility of yourself and the other person and if you are a ppl pleaser or kind person like me they end up manipulating you trying so hard to turn you into a version of them.. (not all are bad just speaking from my experience) Please keep on living your life the way you want and don't settle down unless you find a suitable person. There is more to life than just a lover, love is around us in all its forms. As for marriage and kids, society and the whole world will push you to do it cause when speaking biologically it is reproduction that keeps us from going instincts so most ppl have that urge to breed.. and they can't stand those who go against what they all do. I wish you the best in life 💕

I absolutely love how the vibe of the video reflects the vibe of the book

The spiraling that happens when your friends start getting engaged/married is so real, and beautiful world captures those feelings so accurately. Loved the video!!

I wanted to say, I'm going to be 30 in a couple months.... and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I have no human kids. I'm not married. I don't have a business. I don't have a career. And I don't have a mortgage. 😅 AND the cheesy saying "Everyone walks a different path. So don't compare your life to someone else's life", it's so true. Sooooo 🤷‍♀️😆

Loved that even though this is quite a popular book, you chose it because you thought it would resonate to what you are personally experiencing at this time in your life, and that's probably the best way to find a new favorite book. Also, loved the vibes of the video and the message. Thank you

You're so relatable, Leonie! I feel like epic fantasy properly understood is the best for dealing with trying times. My man Tolkien wrote, "Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway." I have added "Beautiful World, Where Are You?" to be my tbr list. Enjoy! :-)

Leoni, I have to say that I almost cried out with the final part. I really relate with all that stuff about been 20 something and not knowing if everything we do everyday simply make sense. Thank you for this beautiful and intimate video ;)

Omg I just CANNOT get over the fact, that you always put out JUST EXACTLY the video I need 😭 Thank you! Thank you for existing, Leo 🥺💖

I'm 32 and just finishing grad school, and I can honestly say that having friends who feel way ahead or way behind or way off to the side doesn't go away, lol. That said, this seems like the first Sally Rooney books that I think I can be convinced to pick up, but I'm also still recovering from The Ten Thousand Doors of January, so it might have to wait till I'm ready.

I love this video style and editing. It just feels so wholesome and personal. As someone who doesn't have any bookish friends this type of content always makes me smile.

As someone who decided to go back and do a PhD at 29 I often feel a bit out of sync with a lot of my friends who are getting married, having babies and hitting the more "traditional" milestones. However, those milestones aren't right for everyone and we all need to go at our own pace. Don't worry you're doing fine!

The scenery flowing between the introductions is very beautiful ☺️ Thank you for the wonderful video!

the conversation of being in your twenties still figuring shit out while friends are getting married and buying houses is so real? it tends to give me a lot of anxiety because there's this idea you are somehow "falling behind"? but this video in general, but especially that part, made me feel a bit better :))

I love the passage you read in the end. It's simple but so beautiful

this was really beautiful, i didnt know how much i needed it. thanks you leonie

This was gorgeous. Thank you for continuously making these incredible videos, Leonie!

I just want you to know I love your videos, they have an aesthetic that I very much enjoy, and they help me relieve stress more than you know please keep making relaxing stuff like this, there's a lot of anxiety in the world

One of my all time favorite books and this video just made me love it more -- especially that montage at the end had me all teary-eyed. You are very talented Leonie

This is a beautifully edited video. I love how you explain your thoughts of the book and the visuals are great. Great job. Love your vids.

When I read that quote for the first time, I was so in awe and I still am. The way she perfectly describes humanity and the beauty of it, I just ...

I loved this video so much! I love how you always combine little bits of your life along with the concept of the video, it truly makes your videos more magical but truly realistic and inspiring ❣️

I love all of your videos, but this one was really special. You can really notice the amount of thought and labour that went into it and your witty comments are just the cherry on top. I've been hesitant to read any book by Sally Rooney because I don't tend to love these hyped books, but you've convinced me to give it a try. Hope you have a good week and hugs from Germany!

That flower/hydrangea button down you wear will be the death of me. Sooo cute! You have such an awesome sense of style :)

This vlog is incredible, Leonie! I love the aesthetic and the last part where you read a passage in the book while showing clips of your life 😍😍. Love it! I'm not interested in Sally Rooney's works but I want to read that book 😭😭

the edit was incredible and so beautiful, makes me feel like want to do more of introspection about life.

Thank you so much for this video Leonie, it really resonated with me so much in so many ways, it gave me a lot of comfort. I'm glad I'm not the only who feels this way.

Oh Leoni you can literally be the reason for me to start a new week 🖐😭thanks for the vid! love ya so much ❤️hope you all doing okay with life!✨

That was a really beautiful video, Leonie, probably my favourite ever of yours, and I’ve been subscribed to your channel for over two years now. I liked Normal People but was in two minds about whether to read Beautiful World, but I think I will definitely read it now. Thank you, and have a beautiful day. 💛

LOVED THIS! i know you did it differently but it just hit the spot. made me feel at peace. thank you.

I loooove the comfy feeling I get by watching your videos!!

loved the ending part with the quote & the shots of your weekend/life.

Omg precies deze bladzijde was ook mijn favoriet!!! Superleuke video weer en heel fijn dat dit boek je zoveel gebracht heeft :) Echt een herkenbaar gevoel van het soort 'achterlopen', maar uiteindelijk doet iedereen alles op zijn eigen tempo en is dat misschien juist wel het mooist :) Groetjes!!

LOVED THE VIDEOO, so pretty. I also read the book last year and loved it 🥺💛

11:02 omg when you said that, it's literally what I'm feeling right now 😭 I need to read this book I think or Sally Rooney in general! Also your videos are so beautiful 😍

wow, i just loved this video! thank you for it. and you totally convinced me to read this book (which was surprising since i read "conversations with friends" and didn't really like it).

Hi Leonie, I just want to say that, I haven’t watched your videos for a longggggg (really long) time because of school/ part-time job/ mental health. It feels nice to be back to watch your videos. Thank you for such great videos on your channel ❤️

Lovely ending to the video. The passage combined with the montage of clips was quite touching.

loved your editing in this one! the video ended so beautifully

thanks for this video 🥲 you are not alone with those feelings. I marked the same quotes of the book and I am glad you enjoy it 🥰

this is such a lovely video that I never knew I needed

I used to live in the Netherlands and miss it so much and your videos bring back good memories that make me feel nice and cozy

The relatability is at peak levels in this video, amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed beautiful world where are you. I wasnt A big fan, but some folks really enjoy sally Rooney, people like what they like and that’s great

I love how honest you seem with all of your thoughts in every video.

Love how this video is art itself. Slice of life video for a slice of life book

I love the ending of this video ♥️♥️

loveedddd this vlog style and your take on BWWAY (:

Such a beautiful video, it's a perfect homage for the book

bought this book and I’ve been very much in the mood to read it, however university is getting in the way 😮‍💨 this video made me even more excited, so I might just have to find time to squeeze it in

Excelent content as usual. The search for a new favorite book never ends ;)

you are one of the few youtubers that actually make me laugh out loud hahahha i love it and love this video

your videos are simply the best❤

That passage at the end might have just sold to me to read Sally Rooney. Thank you.

You are the funniest booktuber 😂love your videos 😍

Hey Leonie, Beautiful world where are you is perfect fit I think. I loved it so much!!! And because you spoke about being twentysomething years old, I can also highly recommend the defining decade decade by Meg Jay. I felt really understood by it. Much love 🌻🧡

Love this video so much!! 💕

What a lovely video! I think a lot of people worry they're "behind" in life when they're doing different things from their peers. In my opinion, people who are doing life differently tend to be the most interesting.

You accurately described my feelings toward this book... “it’s so stupid but i like it” It was frustratingly good 😅

Just wanted to pop by and say I really enjoyed this video and am looking forward to the next one 🌈 I also loved this book more than normal people! I think I’m going to try conversations with friends next, to see how they all compare ✨

I am obsessed with your videos.. The way you explain about books and your love for reading is my inspiration and i am falling in love with reading. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰

this video is so cute and i love the ending. ı would watch again hehhe

What a great end to a great talk💕💕💕 Yoy make me smile and you make me think, and you make what to read even more🙂🌷 I was considering reading this book I'm not sure I can take those awkward though😳

i love your fashion sm (i’m jealous tbh)

14:46 your eyes and blush match the cover omg stunning

I might just have to read this now- thank you x

I really love this video and I can relate so much :)

the timing is perfect, i just finished this book yesterday. And i loved it so much ! I cried when i read the paragraph that you read out at the end. I really enjoyed the talks about religion as well, i'm not a religious person but i think they were beautiful Also the characters were idiots and reminded me of myself lol

the audiobook of beautiful world is SO GOOD!

this video is everything

I love that you were watching EUROVISION with your friends ❤️❤️ I also did that and had such a great time, which I think kind of fits the message of “enjoying the simpler things in life”. I’m a huge Eurovision fan and I loved De Diepte, it was my favourite performance that evening. Greetings from Germany

I remember starting this book barely knowing what it was about and then being very intrigued by the amount of joy it actually brought me (specially at the end) lol I wasn't exactly expecting it 😅 it became one of my life favorites

This was lovely. ❤️

I loved this video!!!

I'm truly inlove with your videos...

I enjoyed this Immensely!! Thank you

Exams have ruined me.. I'm literally watching this video on 2x T_T

Leonie! i loved this video !

Aaaaaaaah yes 💗 i just recently read this book, too. and i have the same sentiments.

Don't worry about feeling behind in your 20s. I went through that and in my early 30s its the same shit that I was in my 20s. Just enjoy your peace before any major life stress.

i'm definitely gonna read it right now

Leonie you HAVE TO read the starless sea!!❤ You will love it! It's super super magical✨

This video is amazing, you go to another level o deep power reflexition.. & thanks for that leoni

Honestly same. In my 30's and I'm tired of hearing that things get better as you get older. Sometimes it just doesn't. You can either stop caring or just try not to stress over things that are out of your control. I work hard w/ 3 jobs and still have no financial stability. I can't even afford a house even though its my dream. I don't want children because I know I can't provide for them. I've had so many panic attacks and major breakdowns over it. Now I just try to find joys in the little things and be grateful for what I have. It's all I can really do.
