One lesson I have learned in my 46 years is that I don't have to follow anyone's path. I can follow my own path even though it looks different.

Yes!! I love this.

My biggest lesson is "just keep breathing. As long as you are breathing things can get better." This was 'given' to me after a suicide attempt. It's good advice that has kept me from trying again. 🙂

Toni Myers thanks for sharing Toni(: you made me smile 😊

My biggest lesson was to realise I wasn't the person that I am. It was about learn about myself. In my early 20s I fell into depression and it took me 4 years to climb out of it with no help. But since it was such a long period with no one but me, not even my family I live very far from them, just me and my own thoughts - it enabled me to think, to really think. During this period I lost interest in everything I used to like doing before, everyone once around me got left behind, I was completely alone, me and my work hours, day after day. When I wasn't in the office I would be sleeping, or drinking alcohol, or eating .. I've gained so much weight. And when I started coming out on the other end I realised I don't know who I am. And that was the best feeling I have ever had! I was a blank page, I was allowed to become whoever I wanted to be! I was ready to become who I always were supposed to be! I've questioned everything, I used to like before, I remembered and knew I liked those stuff, but picking it up again I actually had to stop and experience it again and decide "is this something I like or not?" I realised I was living someone else's life before my depression, I was living according to what was expected from me, I was being a good daughter, an excellent student, I've worked hard and landed a good job, I was following my hobbies and grew thousands of followers online, I was going out with friends, I was clothes shopping and dressing well, I was dating, I was doing what society thinks I should be doing and what my family expected of me, and these somehow became what I expected of myself too. Then the depression happened. Going through my 4 years of depression in that sort of sterile environment with no one to steer me to the wrong direction, I come out on the other end as someone who was no longer that person - this was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm happier than ever, I'm true to myself. I've picked up new habits, new favourites, new passions that fill my soul, I went travelling alone and discovered other countries, talked to complete strangers sharing our dreams and goals and never see them again, I have new priorities, I realised I didn't like the clothes I was wearing so I threw out everything and reestablished my style according to what I actually like, not what I'm expected to wear. I've moved, changed my job, I love my job now! I've buzzed my hair down just to try if this new me is the kind of person who would like that kind of hair. It wasn't so I grew it back. Free for experimentation! I came out of depression 2 years ago. I've turned 29 today, and frankly I love my life, and I love the person who I became and who I'm still becoming. I'm proud of this person, she is slaying it. This was my biggest lesson - to realise as I became an adult - the importance of letting go of everything and learning about yourself. Questioning everything you thought was real to you, dare to question it don't just sink into the convenience. Rediscovering, and staying curious. Daring to let go, being brave enough to introduce the new, keep learning every day. I think that's what the 20s should be about. That's how you are becoming an adult.

WOW! I 100% agree with you. I feel into a depression and anxious state for 2 years because I became the person that everyone labeled me as. I was insecure and weak minded. I took some time alone with no friends and worked on my self. Now Im 20, love my life happier than ever doing 100% me. In fact I feaking love going aginst what society thinks is the "norm". Dare to be different, its amazing. Life gets so much better when you live for yourself and not others. Like you I'm honestly glad for my depression and anxiety because it taught me how to be happy and love life again!

I really love the way you talk. So calming .. slow ... and on point. I’m glad that I’ve found your channel :)

This video was very helpful after 10 years of marriage and 3 kids going thru a separation is to me devastating it’s so hard to face my new reality my heart aches for my kids and myself and watching this made me feel a little better, thank you 🙏🥰

Don't give up. My baby girl reminds me of this every day 💕 I ended up having her alone and it was the best decision of my life.

Wishing you a very happy belated birthday! Loved the video

Fears are just thoughts!! Still learning this one! No one knows what's right for u like u do!!!! I like!!! If it doesnt fit dont force it lol yepp Yess gratitude is everything! Practice willpowerrrr! Yesss strengthen that muscle!! Dreams might come true after a long time of waiting and when you're ready for it :) Try new things! Get out of your comfy zone! So hard but it's the best thing to do!

How beautifully she explained everything what I couldn’t put into words .experienced everything in detail that she shared here.thank u 🥰

Happy birthday, Meghan! You are great! Thanx for your channel!

Happy Birthday :) You're videos are always a blessing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

"This shall pass because change is inevitable" I cried listening to that cuz positive change is what I want and I really want what I'm going through to pass. And iv been trying to for quiet some time. Taking iniative as u said but even though one needs patience its really hard. But thank you for this video ❤

I recently came across your channel. It is quickly becoming a favorite. Thank you for your insight and knowledge. Happy belated birthday!

Thanks Meghan, I agree all the things you said ! Happy Birthday from France !!! 💜🌹

Lovely video with great tips ❤ Happy belated birthday 🎂

Thanks a lot for this video! Love it soo much! ❤️❤️❤️

Such a lovely video. It’s amazing to see all the insights you’ve gained throughout your life x

Happy belated birthday Meghan. A big thank you for all your very helpful and informative videos.

These reflections are wonderful 💛 I definitely resonated with some of them xx

I was waiting for a video like this. So powerful and helpful! Thanks, Meghan. You're an inspiration for me. Have a nice day! ❤

Happy Birthday, Meghan! I love your videos. You are wise beyond your years, and I appreciate all the fantastic content you share. Wishing you a fabulous year!

Meghan the fact that you are 28 gives me so much hope and because I am 21 and I'm so anxious about why I'm not at where most women I admire yet. Again, I really like your channel and like you as a person too(you are like a big sister online to me since I don't have any siblings). You radiate a genuine energy and that's what I really appreciate! Sending my appreciation to you! ❤️ And I was wondering if you would know the solution to a problem that I've been having. I'm currently suffering from vertigo and it feels quite bad. I never thought it would suddenly come back because it was an old problem of mine in my teens. Do you have any remedy to cure vertigo? 🙏🏻

Red Bean my mom has it from time to time and there’s no cure for vertigo. I already asked and the doctors don’t really know the cause for it either. I guess you still need to be healthy though, by saying that you need to eat healthier and excise often. I’m sure that can somehow help you :)

Hey there!! Thank you so much :) And really interesting you mention vertigo -- I've had it pretty badly twice since the summer and I found the vertigo head motion exercises that I've found online made it go away. But of course check with your doctor if it's really persisting! xoxo

Red Bean I also suffer from vertigo. I would ask your doctor to refer you to a specialist and ask about physical therapy.

Happy belated birthday! I still struggle with a lot of things and lessons in my life, but your video reminded me that I should also take a break from always thinking about how to improve myself and my life and everything, and sometimes just enjoy what I achieved, what I've learned and appreciate myself a bit more. Thank you for sharing, as these are good reminders for everybody!

Happy late bday! This video is beautiful. Thank u!

Beautifully edited with a lovely message behind it. Thanks for the reminder of a some simple truths Meghan. And a belated happy birthday😘 xxx

This is a lovely video Meghan! It is so peaceful to listen to you, and there's so much wise in everything you say. I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos, and somehow each time I watch them I end up with this feeling that "everything's fine, everything's going to be fine". You transmit that. And for someone who deals everyday with anxiety like I do, feeling that is not easy as we tend to worry constantly and way too much. Thanks Meg for your videos, for your peace, for your advise, for the knowledge and wise you share with us. Happy New year of life for you!!! Hugs xxx

Happy belated birthday! I am also a January birthday but more than double your 28 years! 😄 Good for you to be so wise at your age! It took me a lot longer to figure all that out, but I completely agree with your 28 comments. Be happy; it’s worth it (this has been my mantra for 10 happy years).

Happy belated birthday! I can relate to a few things you've mentioned but I also learned some tips I should implement in my own life. Thanks Meghan 🌻

Thank you so much for this video. I agree with every life lesson you learned. And yes to #18 this shall pass. Your so right, it is true.
