In the video, she shared how she once belonged to a close-knit university group. Now, most of them are married with children, each busy with their own priorities. She admitted she misses the sense of belonging and the feeling that life was just beginning.

From Feeling Unlimited Time to Racing Against It

At the start of her 20s, she always felt she had plenty of time. University gave her a predictable structure: attend classes, finish the semester, take a break, repeat.

There was a clear next step—graduate, then work. But now, approaching 30, she feels like time is slipping away, even though only a few years have passed. She described missing the order and routine of those years and grieving the illusion of having endless time.

A Piece of Advice That Hit Home

Her message wasn’t just about nostalgia—it carried advice she wished she’d followed. She urged others not to waste their 20s doing nothing or investing time and energy in people who don’t value them.

She warned against living in “what ifs,” saying that when you approach your 30s, you shouldn’t look back with regret.

The Internet Responds with Warmth

The video resonated deeply with viewers. Many related to her feelings of loss and uncertainty, sharing that they too missed the comfort of their 20s.

Others stepped in to reassure her that entering her 30s isn’t as daunting as it may seem—that new joys, connections, and routines are waiting.

The comments section became a space filled with empathy, encouragement, and the comforting reminder that she isn’t alone in her feelings.
