Shout out to everybody in their 20s just broke, frustrated and trying

its so frustrating that older generations pass off the quarter life crisis. its real and its a huge issue driving a lot of us into severe depression.

'So I decided to sell snow cones', with all her three degrees; this is inspirational

Such a POWERFUL message. One of the best Ted Talks for 20-somethings.

Kenya...this is your cousin Deiidra. This was so awesome. I am overwhelmed and overjoyed with your accomplishments. God bless you!! #SOAMAZING

This really did help. For sometime I been dealing with this Quarter Life Crisis being only 23 and literally today after non stop crying for hours on end where random people at work asking if I'm ok. To discover all I'm dealing with is Quarter Life Crisis. But after identifying exactly Wat it all maybe, this video helped me get a better mindset of it.

She’s my childhood friend, I’m so proud of her!!

Why isn't this more popular? Why isn't she more popular? She's amazing!!!!

Omg! You’re amazing woman! Finishing it on tears ! I’m right now I’m the quarter crises, you spoke directly to my heart! THANKS!

What I have I learnt? Never trust parents, teachers or adults in general. They are out of touch with the real world and only have their best interests in mind. I’m 28, I’ve always had dreams that till this day have never been fulfilled all because I was too scared to follow my intuition and let the older adults make me believe that I knew nothing and that my dreams were unrealistic. Can’t change that now, but I’ve learnt to not take advice from anyone, I’m just doing what I want.

She basically descried my whole life. The most POWERFUL message i've heard so far in my 19 years. Thanks allot.

Omg super relate!!! This year of my life is the craziest. I'm 25 but still so so confused. 😢

this made me cry thanks do much for this.

This was a wonderful thought provoking talk. I am now asking myself, not what, but who do I want to be. The answer is: MYSELF. Thank You and God Bless us. 🙏💪💕

Kenya, this was exactly what I've needed for today. Especially the who are you part. Thank you for been inspiring and beautiful.

She gave a killer speech. Whoever fired her screwed up. Bravo!

Not "What do you want to be?"...but..."Who do you want to be?" 👏👏💗 Just Brilliant!!!

"Everything comes from nothing. Everything comes from ideas and ideas come from people." Love it!

Me literally crying every time she speaks because that’s exactly how I feel 😭😭

Beautiful & inspirational... Saved in my playlist. CREATIVITY is a must. You got it!

I need to underline all of her words..literally. ♥️

You know my problem is that I never drank or did the drugs or anything crazy in highschool and never went to college. I feel I missed out on so much as a younger person and I feel anxious about it and restless. Or insecure really. I feel lost and don't know what direction to take.

I've already had about three quarter life crisis and i'm over thirty

Serial job hopper here at nearly 26 😂 graduated with a drama degree so had no idea what to do and got into office work. Temped for a year, did recruitment for a year, HR for a year, school PA for 6 months, jewellery customer service exec for 6 months and now 8 months so far as a legal & finance exec. Absolutely no idea what to do and literally started looking at engineering degrees last night purely because I want to do something practical. How does a creative person get a job they can live with? 😪

I also just got the "fired for being young" treatment during my company's budget cutting efforts. Thank you for this pep talk!

what a great speech- it resonated with me, cos this is so true. qualified but no experience and young equals guaranteed failure.

You spoke to me, bless you Kenya.

Wow, I'm glad to hear this talk at the right time.

I'm having the biggest quartlife crisis the world has ever seen. its not funny.

Sisssssss, thank you for enlightening we young people!

Simply great! Thanks for the insight. All the best to you!

Thank you Kenya for that wonderful talk. ❤

Kenya got me since I originate there. Though I Ted am sure the recommendation had something to it which am grateful.

1) I paid off my credit card debt of 30,000 in 1 yr and 6 months with a job that only paid $40,000 a yr and I didn't live at I've gotten fired so many times, too...

Notes: Who you want to be not what you want to be, mastering what you're good at, you can do anything you put your mind to, everything was first an idea, they come from people, your ideas can be as big as you think they can be, you are the space to give all things and all life, if you're lost and depressed, take a second, close your eyes, ask who can I create from my nothing

This helped me so much ❤

Kenya deserve another Ted Talk 😮😮😮

Powerful & just what I needed to hear

Iconic TED talk

"the difference is: quarter-lifers don't have the money to go out and buy a new Ferrari or a new wife when things get crazy" 😂

I'm just half, into it n it's great!

I 100% needed this.

So fucking true. Love to the power in these words

Awesome!!!

Glad i got over mine

brilliant talk & a forgiving, but hopeful message

I just turned 28 and this is crippling as time goes by. Over the years i learned that nothing will save you until you act on it. Like, don't overthink it just try if something works. But this pandemic happens and im stuck again. Wtf.

I needed this! Amazing!

Who just turned 25 .....

Helpful speech!

Damn I needed that!

She looks like Sister Krone from The Promised Neverland

anyone in 2020 feeling the same?

I wish I could talk to her in person.

Excellent!

Damn I feel like she just read my mind

Love this!

this is so great :)

How do you do a speech at Ted talks

wow, snap snap snap snap

I also need to find my "stuff"

You helped me so much :)

WHO do you want to be? Vs. WHAT do you want to be?

no guarantees in life

Cool one!

OF COURSE the quarterlife crisis isn't a Millennial phenomenon; we had it back in Gen X, too. We even had the phrase.

*You're causing it.*

I don’t feel entitled to anything I just don’t want to live in my car

Kenya conveniently leaves out that her degrees are in Psychology, Sociology, and Policy Analysis. If she had gotten just a bachelor's degree in any number of real-world disciplines, there would have been no crisis to go through.

Millenials were given much more tactile pleasures FASTER. Be patient millenials life naturally gets easier...especially if you learn the lessons.
