wow, we actually made it through the year: 2023. This year was very crazy. If you were to told me how 2023 would turn out for me in 2022, I would be quite shocked. Like I said in the video, this was probably the realest journal entry I've ever made.
I don't know how 2024 will turn out but I do know that we should all try to live everyday like it's our own life. I hope this year went amazing for you guys. If not, that is okay. We all have time. I hope next year, 2024, all your dreams, everything will become true. Love you all and once again, thank you so much for being here. I'll see you all soon!

THIS IS SO TRUE… Everything I do, say, and tell for others is how I wish I would’ve been treated. But now, I’m slowly learning to prioritize myself and although it’s hard, it’s hard to not have someone by your side and tell you the things best told and heard from someone else, it can’t be helped. Trying to tell myself the things I need to hear, like believe myself, I can do it, keep on going, if no one else can then I will. You can do anything by yourself!!

The line that really got to me was “I feel empty”. There’s so many humanly things I want for myself but I have so much fear of not being enough. Lost friends cus I’m not great or fun enough, got fired cus I’m not skilled enough, now burnt my food cus I’m not good enough to cook. It came to the point of paralysis, the self motivation is all that’s left. So this video was so helpful to realize I need that self preservation > self love. Doing things for yourself is the biggest source of self motivation that I could tap into.

not me crying over a stranger I barely know on the internet in a fucking daylight 😭😭😭😭 It's crazy how everything you said resonates so much with me. I was turning 24 in 2023, and I have many fears of going to the adult phase where I have responsibilities. 2023 was also my transformative year, I couldn't be more happy and healthy, both physically and emotionally. I finally gathered up myself to do things that I need to do, practicing positive habits, I'm not afraid of people's thoughts again, and what's more important is, I finally can find myself again. I subscribed to your channel in the middle of 2023 because I find your thoughts are calming me. I feel like I'm not alone and sometimes I feel like I get advice from my closest friend. I'm so glad to have survived this year, and one thing that contributes is you and many other positive influencers. Thankyou for being so open about yourself, Via. Your words mean so much to me personally

I am so happy for you. You put into words everything that I have experienced. I wasted about 40 years of my life "living up to expectations". benefitting other people and NOT doing the things I wanted to do. Now I am 49 and am finally trying to LIVE my life. But I can never get that time back. It's gone forever. And I got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for it. Young people - PLEASE - get out there and do what you want. Forget your parents. Forget society. What other people think of you doesn't matter. LIVE YOUR LIFE. Forget what other people "expect" of you. They are just selfish, narcissistic A-holes trying to steal your time, money and energy for their own benefit. They already had their turn. I learned that 40 years too late. I wish I had known earlier. Don't make the same mistake I made. Go out and LIVE YOUR LIFE.

I needed this. Ive had a sort of panic attack today after a long time, and that's bc I felt such a failure. People around me makes me pressure, don't get at all my personality, my efforts, my problems. They just want me to do whatever job and move out, which I want to do but it's not so easy. I dont want to be stuck in a job I don't like, rents are very high and I don't tell anyone about my creative projects cause they wouldn't believe in them anyway. So I work a lot on them or developing some skills but they think I do nothing and waste time just bc I dont share all of that and I don't wake up everyday at 8 am to go to work. I hate the fact that im being judged anyway, no matter what, just bc Im 31, single, childless and i don't work a corporate job. Noone cares abt the fact that im the first one in the family to have 2 diplomas and 2 degrees, that I learned a number of skills and languages which they only dream of. I also was very unlucky regarding my health but its not my fault if I have those issues. I dont value what they value, I dont want the life they all had.

I’m turning 28 soon and I dropped out of college after 3 years because I didn’t know why I was doing anymore. Now I go to my 9 to 5 job that barely pays me enough and treats me like I don’t exist. I wanted to go for an art degree but felt that it wasn’t worth it cuz I don’t think I’ll make it into the art industry due to how competitive the field is and the fact that there’s so much more talented artists out there. Plus I’m not super confident in my own art works but I still try to draw from time to time. I’ve been thinking about just going for it and try it out because I will never know since I never even tried but only dreamed of going for an art career. I stress myself out a lot on this 😅

@@AnimeFreakpz I’m doing a Travel and Tourism course, and my brother does art, like yourself he does not know what he wants to do. And me I’m scared of growing up and living for a bad job, but one thing I will say is this, something will come eventually, so you go out there and peruse what you love - (what makes you happy) it’s scary and dreadful when you feel like this, but all things come to an end eventually nothing lasts forever 🫶✨ maybe you could sell art online, like this quote o love from fruits basket “Maybe the reason you don't see it is that it's stuck to your back.

This inspired me to do an Accounting major instead of Computer Science. Just scheduled an appointment with my counselor at community college. They both pay well, and I’m a 1st Gen college student. My parents didn’t want me to go to college, just to stay home and get married off. But I didn’t want my 20s to start like that. So I moved out. I cannot see myself sitting in front of a computer just…coding all day. No shame to those who like CS, but I was gonna do it for the money. And I just can’t do it. I just can’t. I’m not gonna do four years of a major I hate just to be miserable and eventually stuck in a cycle. Thank you for this encouragement, Vi. As Miles Morales once said: “Nah. Imma do my own thing.” ❤

I'm actually still not sure if my academic path is what I want to follow or if I'm doing it for other people. I'm pursuing it along side my actual 'wants' currently, but the actual wants are a little unreliable, but I'm still striving for them :)

I have a very strict father, and i have always been afraid to disappoint him. But when high school finished, i really wanted to take a gap year, and travel, and focus on myself. But even then i was too scared, and i have accomplished absolutely nothing, and i'm sick of it. I have waited my whole life for the moment where "I could do what i wanted and finally travel", but i didn't. But now i will! I have nothing left where i live. My roommate is moving out. This is my chance and i'll take it!

It's hard because the only way I make them is through my classes so far, and once that is done...I don't know what to do with myself. Someone asked me what my dreams are.....I guess I actually do have some, but I yeah, I feel like my trajectory within the next year will be similar 😂 I'm going to be held back a bit by student loans, but I will try to come out of my shell eventually....I HOPE! anyways, happy new year guys!

Something I STILL struggle to learn and teach myself is that you CANNOT compare your progress to others. You're just going to tire yourself out trying to catch up to others, so instead, move at your own pace. If you have a goal, move at your own pace, because when you rush, u either tire yourself out or make a lot of mistake (many of which can be fatal mistakes to your goal). As long as you keep going, you CAN'T fall behind, so don't worry about where every one else is. To everyone in this comment section, and to Via too, YOU GOT THIS!! You're doing awesome. Go and KEEP GOING and see you at the finish line 😉

Literally, I have been ignoring this video for a couple of months now but it found me again at the right time! I have always wanted to be a content creator, but had always thought that I would be too “try hard” if I posted content consistently and I’ll be a “influencer wannabe.” But at the end of the day, and when I do achieve it, that’s when they believe me and congratulate me. So why tf do I care what they are saying now? If I truly want it, that’s all that matters. I was already doing everything to try to achieve what my relatives want me to do and that has not been working out, so why don’t I try to do everything I can to actually achieve something that I want?!?! “There is no point in life if you are not chasing your dreams” LIKE FACTS! WTF is the point then? To just drift through it? We were not born on this earth to just never have our desires validated. It just clicked. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You don’t know that you just changed my entire life. I’m going to start treating content creation as my full time job and embody the habits of a content creator - manifesting into my reality that identity with consistency.

I'm 37 and I wanna give you a virtual big hugs. I'm also living and still living for someone else since young and have achieved the goals that someone else wanted. You are exactly who I was when I was 23, not believing in myself, not getting the things that I wanted and feeling a lot of frustrations. But I think you have done so much better coz looking at your previous videos I think you have improved in terms of how you carry yourself, the make-up, the dress, the activities you have done. Although we are stuck in the situation of "living for someone else" and went through hardships, do believe that we have learnt a lot from these experience too, be it going through small little daily routine or handling the emotions of making big change in our lifestyle! All these effort would not go wasted, trust me! This is what I have realised after living as a working adult for someone else for so many years. Most importantly, no one can take all these improvements, experience and joy etc. away from you. So keep living, keep trying and never stop being curious to learn! In a longer term, you will feel the joy and satisfaction coming from what you have learnt from your hard and good days. :) 🤗

these are my last few months of my last year of high school, so there’s a lot of mix of uncertainty, anxiety, dread, excitement and emptiness. especially feels of being overwhelmed with the urge to do some “special” for last senior year but not actually doing much and feeling like i’m not doing enough. if anyone has advice on that or suggestions on what to do, i’d love to know please 🥹. i want to be vlog but i also fear that nobody will care and my efforts will be wasted, in school too. but this video is definitely a needed wake up call. thank you, genuinely. i won’t care what others think (at least, try to)! let’s live an amazing year in 2024 :))

I'm so proud you are getting closer and closer to your goals, while giving us courage and motivation to do the same. also, i started journaling bc of your videos so thank u for that :) have a great new year and know that we'll be here for and with you

you never knew how huge your impact is to someone. this is a reminder to do the thing that frightens you but is also the dream u've ever wanted. take a video of urself, write that poem or novel, sing ur heart out, dance in the rhythm of the wind, paint that scenery in ur head, apply to the job that u think isn't for u but ur heart says otherwise. do it. just do it. just like her who didn't believe in herself before, but managed to be courageous enough to chase HER dreams made my tears roll. this sent me voltage of motivation to chase after my aspirations. a truly transformative video. so again, dear stranger. it's your life, own it fully. start now. the clock is ticking, love. you deserve lovely things in life, so do it for yourself. do it for your precious self, the most important person alive in you and for you. : )

I have to say, your channel was recommended to me by youtube a few days ago and ive been binge watching your videos since. I've been getting worse mentally, not talking to any friends, and isolating myself. I was about to quit my job and just empty the money i saved to travel because i felt like i didnt deserve any of it. We are the same age, and i feel like we've lived a pretty similar life and it feels like you are idk, the sister i never had ? maybe that's dramatic lmaoo. Anyways, you seem like a genuinely sweet and hardworking person and i hope you are proud of yourself. You made me a little proud of myself too. Thank you 💗

You're videos always come when I need, like even this video, I was reflecting on my year and how I didn't achieve any of my goals and the feeling of regret was sinking in and I started hating myself and it was just too much, but watching your video really helped me..

via, it has been so fun to watch your videos over the past year and to see you grow. your channel has genuinely inspired me in SO many ways, but the biggest thing you've really inspired me to do is to embrace being an introvert - to accept that (for as much as i love my family and my people - and i do dearly) it is okay to love being by myself. you have also inspired me to start documenting my own life more and making small videos :) i'm so glad that i found this channel, and i'm so glad that the year has gone well for you. here's to 2024!

Via!! I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but once I stumbled across it I knew it was something special. I’ve been unable to stop watching your videos, they motivate me to take control of my life, go outside, and just have fun. I love how you are such an honest vlogger and don’t try to hide the dips in life. You show me that you can still do stuff even if you’re scared, anxious, or tired, and you motivate me to continue to craft the best version of myself. Your vlogs always seem so real, as if you’re toting along your friend for a fun day out. I also love how you show that you can still be silly and have fun while maintaining an aesthetic lifestyle. Anyways, I hope you and anyone reading this has a lovely 2024!!

Via, I just want to say thank you so much for your videos. I've been watching you for the last couple of months, and it's been so amazing to see how much you've grown and it's inspired me so much to do that as well. I never really had much of a real-life support system, and seeing your vids every week just feels like I have an older sister who I can come to for advice and just learn to stand up for myself and go out there and do big (or small) things. Something small like going out to grab a boba on my way back from my lectures, or going somewhere to watch a sunset, I wouldn't have been able to do it without your videos. Thank you so much, seriously, your videos mean everything to me. Sending you all my best for 2024

The way i sobbed this entire video. I too have a picture of baby me on my phone screen n hope to make her proud. This felt like a good scolding. As if u dragged me down from my daydreaming into reality n shook me up. This video made me realise i have to do the things im afraid of. Although i know im capable of achieving my dreams i still feel inadequate and scared to become that version of myself. This video gave me the push i needed and i will make myself proud this year. Thank you so much❤and i hope all your dreams come true too✨

you're genuinely my favourite content creator, for christmas i got a VHS recorder as your channel inspired me to make videos of my own. whether i post them or not is a different question but the fact that a year later you are actively having an influence in other people's lives, complete strangers from the opposite end of the globe is proof that following your passions regardless of the pressures society or you put on yourself can only lead you down one path, that being success. if you follow your passion you will live without regret in knowing you are choosing to do what makes you happy, and that's the best thing you can do for yourself!

And I hope I can grow to be the person I want this year by chasing my dreams. I can’t wait to hear from you again in your new year video! Cheers to 2024, Via! 🥂❤️

hi via, I just checked and it's been 7 months since I discovered your channel. and I can't even put into words how much you helped me in those 7 months. i started journaling more, loving myself more, taking myself to self dates and not feeling ashamed about it. it's all thanks to you. I remember you showing the picture of your little self on your phone screen in one of your old journal entries and I remember you crying while saying 'no one cared about what she wanted' I cried with you then. and today you showed her again and cried because you finally made her proud. I cried with you again, but it was happy tears this time, both yours and mine. just keep doing what you're doing, I'm so proud of you. let's have so many more beautiful memories together. GO BEST FRIEND LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST!🤍🥹

This year was also a good one for me, i started to take care more of myself and to notice the little things in life again. And every time that you upload (especially with your journal entries) i feel like i learn something new about myself. You inspire me sm to keep on questioning and wondering and learning. Might i also add that your editing style is so so cute and fun and quirky, lmao. I love it sm. It has been a pleasure to get through this year with you. Happy new year

Watching you achieve your goals/chase your dreams throughout 2023 has filled me with nothing but admiration for you Via. I’m so proud of you! You truly are inspirational. 2023 has to be the best year yet for me and a part of it is because of you. Not putting you on a pedestal or anything like that. But genuinely because you are just like us and seeing you cross things off your bucket list makes it all the more possible for us to do the same for ourselves. It’s very encouraging and motivating. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for being you. May 2024 be even better (for everyone!). I believe in you and fully support you! ❤❤❤

Via has me crying in my room in the morning. I think waking up and watching this in the morning was something I really needed to get the day started. I’ve been feeling lost and not knowing what I’m gonna do in life and it scares me because I wanna make people around me proud so I pressure myself but I find it hard to actually work towards what I want because I just don’t know where to start. Watching this made me feel like my older sister giving me a lesson I so desperately needed. Thank you Via for making videos where you are just being yourself. I watch your videos a lot especially at school to relieve some stress so again thank you for being the person you are. I’m most definitely sure that the little girl on your wallpaper is proud of what you’ve achieved just like I am

Thank you Via for always posting. I'm 19 and so unsure of everything. I'm at a point in my life where it seems like I'm supposed to know what I'm doing but also go out into the world without directions. It's terrifying, but it's comforting to hear you say that it's okay to not have all the answers. For most people it seems like we've all become so hesitant to truly live the lives we want because of fear and the possibility of failure. Seeing you become genuinely happy this year through your success and exploration is truly inspiring. It's motivated me to go after what I want and accomplish what I want. Instead of saying or dreaming of doing something I'm just going to do it! I'm excited for all of your future content! Here's to another year of appreciating each day and living to the fullest!🥳
