"all adults are still children on the inside living life for the very first time" Very real and honest, not a careless phrase 🥰

"I used to have all these plans and think 'Ah, I have my whole life figured out', but then I realized no matter how much I plan: life happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a little more." - Q'orianka Kilcher 🍀

Hello dear friends, Can you relate to the subject of today's video? This "falling behind in life" feeling gets influenced by nothing but exterior factors, from peer pressure, societal pressure to effects of social media. You're never really behind. Everyone has their own timeline, yet we're made to feel lesser about ourselves purely through external influences. I realised only recently that no adults have everything figured out. We're all living for the first time, no matter whether you're 18, 30 or 75. Good things take time. All you have to do is simply take the next step. 🌟

In addition to your gift for writing in a beautifully lyrical and poetic way, you are deeply insightful. You manage to be an excellent life coach, while also communicating poignancy and hope. Bless you for being brilliant, and thank you very much for sharing your brilliance, for in doing so you make the world a better place.

I just love your videos, so honest and down to earth. I'm 67 years old and I'll be honest my life has turned out nothing like I expected it to be. There's a saying that goes " Life is what happens to you when you're making other plans." It's true. But I've learned to be comfortable in my own skin, take what Life offers each day. I don't feel old. I feel like " just me". The young girl will always be inside of me. In fact I'm sort of glad that things worked out as it did. It forced me to take chances that I never dreamed of and circumstances proved to me that I was stronger, more capable and more resilient than I thought. Don't fear thirty. It's only the beginning. As another saying goes " Life is so daily!" Don't worry about the future, just enjoy the ride! ❤️

I have to laugh (and groan with understanding) at the fears of a young person who feels like a late bloomer. At 72, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, haha! And that's just perfect. I too am an artist and feel no pressure to sell anything. I also paint in watercolors (in sketchbooks mainly), but have worked in other media as well for my own pleasure and the joy of painting with other plein air and urban sketching artists for the camaraderie. I'm also a poet, violinist, composer, videographer, choreographer, and many other things. Life has been full! Your videos are comforting, inspiring, and beautiful. Your paintings are really good, and you have a lovely style. Keep going toward what draws your soul! I learned a long time ago not to wait until I "retired" to do what I always wanted and to have adventures, because who knows whether you'll have your health and energy if you wait that long. I've done those things all my life. Good for you, Daria! And love your personal sharings. Thank you for being you! You bring light into this world.

So happy you were able to make your own creative space. 💕 I’m fortunate now to have an extra room for my own. I’m in my 50’s and only bought my house 3 years ago. I never thought I even wanted it, but things aligned and I’m so happy. I understand about always preparing and not really doing. I’m trying to push past that myself right now. Your painting is beautiful! Nice to see you this morning. Have a lovely day. 💕🍁

Hello, My name is Kaitlin, and I am 22 years old. I am an artist, singer, and writer. I am thankful your channel came through my recommendations a few months ago. I've watched a few of your videos, but this one was a confirmation. For many years, since early middle school, I've felt this pressure to have things figured out. With this immense pressure, I've always felt like I was falling behind while great things were happening to my peers. I'd wonder if I was doing enough or if I was doing the wrong things. This season of my life has been teaching me patience and living in the moment. I am learning to honor my inner child and listen to her more. Thank you so much for this video and I wish you many blessings.

It's not bad to want things, but it's definitely bad to make yourself feel bad about not having things. As you said in one of the previous videos, no one should blame themselves for not becoming an astronaut as an adult just because they wanted that as a child. Life has its own ways and we just need to do our best with what we have. If you really want something, go for it! ❤☺ Lovely video! Love all the bits where you talked to the camera! It really does make it feel so much more personal 😊

The cinematography in these videos is excellent. Thank you for sharing ❤

Lovely watercolor 🖌️🖼🎨. The magic arrived in the mist.

Your comment about adults are still children inside rings so true. Society pushes us to "leave" the child-like wonder and joys behind and immediately jump into the hustle culture of working and having everything figured out. We need more reminders that we don't need to have everything figured out in life and that its okay to enjoy the journey and its many twisting paths. Everyone's path's and timeline for their own achievements will be different and that difference is beautiful and always worth celebrating. I hope your own journey is filled with love and the same child-like joy and wonder! Cheers.

Thank you for sharing your journey 😊 At 50, I learned the only consistent thing in life is inconsistency. I am so happy for you that at your age you decided to make the shift in life where you’re living your most authentic self. And living means searching, not knowing, trying, making mistakes but all-in-all going forward and letting your true self lead the way vs pressures from the outside world. I also am renting after owning two homes in the first half of my life. And though I too wish to have my own home again, it was a necesary move to let them go. And it’s so much more worth having the freedom than having the possession. Cuz even when you have a home there’s no telling what life may bring. So a house is never a permanent home. Home is where ever you land for the time being. And wherever that is make that space a sanctuary. Again, I am so happy you are taking this adventure for your trueness sooner than later in life though you have trepidation and uncertainty which are very valid feelings. Just know those feelings tell you that you are actively living. Some people never awaken and give themselves that freedom to choose a life more sincere to their heart. Never doing it is sadder than doing it later in life. And even one year of self enlightenment is more valuable than the decades that came before. Value of life is not measured in quantity of time but quality of time. For the only time we are guaranteed is this very moment. Best to you 🫶🏼

Daria, I have just ordered my first print - 'the way home'. Very excited. I love your artwork and look forward to displaying them, as and when I purchase them. Simply beautiful and calming work. 💕

Dear gawd that field of red flowers! You look like a peaceful oil painting, standing there among them in your white dress

Im going through a bad situation. My father had heart attack. And I'm struggling being the only child and only guardian ❤ hope everything becomes alright soon. Sending you love and prayers ❤

Congratulations Daria for your You Tube Silver play button 😊 I'm so happy to see your videos. Now I'm watching and enjoy to your video. UK Is the great country for visit. Specially the countryside's. Please forgive my mistakes. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

Thank you for leaving your little oops with the drill in, your laughter was so infectious! Great to see your hubby too. Looking back in so glad my life didn't go along with other people's timeliness. I used to bear myself up for it so much. But i think I'd be miserable if I'd gotten what i thought i wanted.

Your 🎨 painting's are beautiful🎉🎉🎉

I stumbled upon your video at just the right moment, and it feels like a sign. I've recently started my own KZfaq channel, and your inspiring words and content have given me the energy and motivation to keep pushing forward. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and encouragement as I embark on this journey of self-discovery. Your work means so much to me.

Hey, Daria! I just wanted to share that your work has been incredibly inspiring to me. Thank you for putting it out there, I truly admire you!

Du hast so ein wundervolles ansteckendes Lachen.😊✨️

Some of your videos are as my soul is speaking out. Thank you

I like your video so much ❤

love your videos...your sense for nature spaces, your softness, your poetic visions.. that moon and a field of poppies scene is amazingly soothing and beautiful to me. thank you for acknowledging and creating beauty. it is food for the soul.

Love your painting style x

You are a great example for me. I want to reflect the same life on my channel 🌿

I can relate, thank you for your beautiful videos, they are so comforting 🩷

That poppy-field and the moonrise is achingly beautiful. Each video again is more magically crafted! As one of the little young ones of ambition about to launch into university (😬🤡!) your message was quite steadying-by decades and age milestones I may or may not be where I currently envision, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing. And a good reminder to not get ensnarled with worrying and preparations instead of real doing!

This is beautiful.

Love your plaid dress ❤

Lovely paintings in the end ❤❤❤

What a beautiful picture. Im glad you have a space to call your own. Congratulations on your website!

Yes we can relate to this video. Like your little space you created for yourself. We were laughing with you when you were drilling the hole in the container. ❤❤

Todo hermoso. Gracias ❤❤❤

Literally changing my entire life. It’s needed.

Well done Daria, your website looks fabulous and your prints are beautiful ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing. I needed this message today. I always spend more time preparing than doing! ❤

Lovely! Perfect!❤

this is so beautiful. I feel like every time I think I have my life figured out, life throws another curveball at me and I'm just like, "What?" 😂 but really, thank you again for another wonderful video. it's so much fun to watch you and your husband be silly together too! love from NY 🐱

Beautiful video Daria & wishing you 30 blooms from your new rose bush. Also, would love to hear you play the piano in one of your upcoming videos.

좋은 일은 시간이 걸린다는 말에 공감합니다. 행복한 내일을 응원합니다.

You are an incredible person. I love your words, your videos, your art and paintings. Lots of love and I wish you what you wish! ❤

Thank you, Daria❤every time I watch your video I feel so much understood. I am sure you will be successful in promoting and selling your art projects❤❤❤

Please write a book, we need two, one for all the wonderful quotes of hope and inspiration. The second could be a romantic poetic novel ❤

This so very well said and leaves depths of emotions 😊

Much needed. Thank you

I resonate with you, but at the age of 45 now. 2 grown boys, the pets I always wanted, married long time, and working at a rewarding part time position...finally building my cottage shop. My vision for the property we moved to 10 years ago. However, I always feel like everything needs to be set in place just perfectly or else I will fail. I am a Halloween baby, so Fall is settling and unsettling for me at the same time. I am personally grateful for your videos and your frank encouragement. From a complete stranger in the USA you bring joy and beauty to so many people... Your life is a gift to us all! ☺

😃👍You are so right, Daria! Life is what happens while we are preparing to live, so let's enjoy the process!🖌👌😁 And when it comes to art, I find that once you've acquired the basic skills, the less planned projects are often the most brilliant and rewarding ones. 😁 At first I thought it was just me, and I lived with that imposter syndrome, as If I were a child pretending she's an adult… when I wasn't! 😱 (It is so stressful and exhausting to make believe! 😅) Only life is important, and creating happy moments is paramount: it nurtures happiness in the world. 😊 I foresee many happy moments coming from that new and lovely Art corner of yours! 😉 We have just witnessed one of them. Congratulations on your Art and your shop! 🎉🎨📸 🎊(Just made my first and modest purchase: this very "Autumn Wind" 🍃 😉) Thank you, Daria! 🙏👏👏👏🤗🥰😘

Piękny film🤗❤

You make such beautiful and important videos. ⚘️ And your painting skills are impressive 🌟 /Ditte 🤓

Que inspirador!

Every stage of life carries special moments and beautiful memories. If the focus is on cherishing joy, learning, improving, planning, and letting go, then, life becomes a surprising journey. Being twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and so on becomes an experience dotted with beauty, memories, exploring, and self-discovery. It's an ongoing process. Life is like a rose: true it has thorns but there is perfume, colour, delicate petals... As I grow older, I am becoming aware that if my inner self is taken care of, physical age takes second place, along with material things. Take care.

13:56 would look even nicer if you were using a fountain pen. You strike me as the type of person who either already uses fountain pens or would enjoy using them. I noticed this because I recently got into fountain pens and love using them and learning different styles of cursive and calligraphy. The Pilot Metropolitan is a great starter pen and comes in various colors and designs. That is a beautiful painting.

Almost 30? You've seen nothing yet. Not many people that age own a house and furniture unless you're rich. ❤

It will lead wherever it chooses, enjoy the ride.

I'm also preparing my own pahtway and I'm 40. The own way is always there ❤😊 Just trust, let it be

Very happy that you have opened your own business selling your beautiful pieces! Not certain if you ship outside of England? Congratulations on taking this step into your future I do believe it will serve you well as you are very talented ! Love Autumn too always my favorite season of all the trees look magical in their brightest colors the air cool and crisp yet warms your face with sunshine the animals foraging for the berries ah yes simple perfection !

Starting my morning with another beautiful video you have made, thank you for this and love everything you Said, I hope you have a lovely day 😊🫶

videoların okadar iyi geliyorki sende kendimi görüyor gibiyim 23 yasıma gireceğim bu sonbahar ve aynı zamanda anne de olacağım . Bu hem çok heyecan veriyor hemde kendime şimdi odaklanamıyorken bebeğimle bunu nasıl yapacağımı bilmiyorum aslında bebek beni sınırlamayacak etrafımdaki insanlar beklentiye girecek düşüncesiyle kendime odaklanamamaktan korkuyorum . Ve bende şimdi yeni bir işe başlama aşamasındayım hiç birşey bilmiyorum bu beni çok geride hissettiriyor insanların etrafımda olmalarından hiç birşey söylemeselerde yapacağım işe karışma ihtimallerinden çok rahatsız oluyorum bu konuda video hazırlayabilirmisiniz . Düşüncelerinizi bu kadar net ve derin anlatmanız çok güzel ❤

Your art would make lovely note cards that I'm sure could provide an income.

Hi 🌱have a beautiful day

Here in sweden, no one buys a house until they start a family - and even then there are many people who live in apartments with their kids and do just fine. I know in other countries - including the UK - the norm is to buy a house as soon as youre old enough but that really isnt the case here in the North and probably not in many other places, either.

I am 35 years old. It is scary to turn 30. But I can promise you it gets easyer. You start don't care so much what people think about your life: kids or not, not their business. Busy or not it's not their life. You found a partner or not, don't let them bother you. A family member said me: You will regret not doing kids. My sister has the perfect answer: How I'll regret something I didn't want at that point?! I will regret only doing what anyone else think how should my life be. And don't plan to much... Because life it's not a straight line. It will trow you forward or back when you least expect. 😊

Hi lass.

🌿calm

I relate to this so much. I love this. I will also be 30 in a little over month and I defitnitly don't feel I have life figured out and the older I get the less I want what I wanted when I was younger now I just want to be a wild child. Where did you get your art easel?

Once again, we men are being called upon for our most sacred duty...moving furniture.

🥰

💛

Most people mistakenly think that it’s uncommon to reroute your life choices at the age of 30. Actually it’s exactly what happens to all of us in our Saturn return which occurs every 28-29 years. Most people change jobs, get a divorce or decide to become a mother And we’re not living life for the first time 😉

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

These videos are nice and cute, but I think they’re far more for the person actually posting them than for the people watching them. It gives them reassurance so that they feel less lonely/or alone. But unfortunately the "advice" that they give, they’re even struggling with it themselves. We are all on our own paths, but frankly I always listen to people living balanced, stable and fulfilled lives, not the ones still looking for themselves (age has nothing to do with it here, you could be 16 or 85 I would say the same thing) who seem to share words of wisdom, and yet you can see that the "advice" is definitely more for themselves, they’re barely walking the talk. I don’t resonate with that
