1
okay I think that's the last of them let's go oh and did I mention this video is sponsored by Surfshark
2
the biggest question of my 20s undoubtedly is who am i as if that's a simple question
3
just three harmless little words strung together in a way
4
that will make you absolutely lose your mind
5
and the older i get the more i wonder whether i've been asking the wrong question
6
because whether you find an answer to it
7
or not you still are yet somewhere along the way i felt like without
8
that answer there also couldn't be a me instead there's just this tangled mess
9
that has yet to reach its final form which is also exactly where the story goes wrong
10
you see at some point i started treating my identity as something
11
that must be understood by others rather than myself something
12
that is straightforward and easily labeled and something that makes sense and so nowadays i exist in fragments
13
there are different versions of myself that exist around different people parts of me that I've curated enough to be understood,
14
that are still me, but also not, at least not fully.
15
And while many things can be true at once, when it comes to who I am, I have somehow exempted myself from that rule.
16
I think I've been treating my identity as though it's a niche, which might sound a little strange at first,
17
but for everything that I do or try, I ask myself the same question.
18
Is this it?
19
Is this my thing?
20
As if there's only one right answer, and that it's out there, somewhere.
21
Like we're playing hide and seek and I'll know the second I lay eyes upon it.
22
Except, I have laid eyes upon it countless times, it just didn't fit the description.
23
In truth, I could probably give you a pretty good answer to the question of who am I.
24
It would just take about 10 cardboard boxes, give or take, and quite a lot of unpacking.
25
Nothing makes you realize just how much stuff you have like moving, and in my case also, how many versions of myself exist.
26
I think for a long time I assumed that who I was
27
and what I did had to be one coherent picture and it couldn't contradict itself in any way.
28
For example, I consider myself to be a pretty outdoorsy person.
29
I love being outdoors.
30
I love hiking, camping, all that stuff.
31
But at the same time, I am a huge homebody.
32
I love being at home.
33
I love being comfortable and cozy and warm and dry
34
and I felt like those two things couldn't exist at the same time
35
because clearly if I'm such a homebody then I just don't meet the qualifications
36
or the requirements to be considered an outdoorsy person.
37
Which it sounds so silly to say out loud
38
but that's just kind of how my brain worked with so many different aspects of my life.
39
Just assuming that if there was any form of contradiction then clearly that just wasn't who I was.
40
It all just had to fit into this pre -designed box and then I would get frustrated if it didn't fit.
41
It's easy to start feeling like you need to have a thing that defines who you are,
42
some signal that will tell people what box to put you in because in many ways we're faced with it every day.
43
It's this endless stream of niches and aesthetics and categories
44
and types that's trying to figure out where you fit
45
while simultaneously making you believe that wherever it places you must be it.
46
There's this weird and unsettling feeling when someone thinks they know you better than you know yourself.
47
In a lot of ways that happens every time we go online,
48
where every tap and click and scroll is collected to figure out who you are.
49
And I guess I've just had one too many instances where things were suggested to me and all I could think was,
50
wait, how do you know about that?
51
which is exactly where Surfshark comes in.
52
Their VPN ensures that your data is encrypted and your online activity is much harder to track, while their ad blocker blocks ads and trackers,
53
which means there's less data collected about you as well as fewer targeted ads.
54
And aside from keeping your information private, they also help ensure that no one is stealing it.
55
Whether that's through fishy emails, sketchy texts, or suspicious links, their scam checkers and web content blocker help keep your information safe
56
and with one account you are covered on unlimited devices by going to surfshark .com slash ottilie
57

58
you need to find a niche is a phrase i've seen
59
or heard increasingly often presented to you as though it's the answer to all of your problems
60
it's the way to success the way to an audience, the way to be understood, or liked, or respected.
61
And apparently, in my case at least, it's also the way to find yourself.
62
You might be thinking, sure, but what does moving have to do with this?
63
Well, imagine I would move and only take one singular box with me, a single category of items it would all be nice
64
and on theme and coherent but it would be equally ridiculous
65
because being on theme has now also come at the cost
66
of literally every other belonging of mine every hobby every clothing
67
piece every book every slightly contradicting item would be discarded for the sake of clarity
68
and i think the same thing happens when you assume that you can only be one thing.
69
You discard every other part of you for the sake of fitting into some non -existent box.
70
It's really just abandonment, masked as self -discovery.
71
Because I don't think the answer to finding out who you are is to water yourself down enough
72
that there's only one option left.
73
And so as I was packing, and then unpacking, I realized that I've spent so much time trying to put a finger on who I am,
74
on finding the one thing that defines me,
75
when all of these different sides of me have happily been living under one roof for so many years.
76
And yeah, some are contradicting, some I haven't touched in months or years, some I've forgotten and found my way back to,
77
some I'll always cherish, and others I don't always love.
78
but there is room for all of them and more both in my house and in myself

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
