Are you looking for advice today?

Maybe you don't need it.

Have you ever received advice from someone you love, like your parents or your friend, but somehow it just didn't feel right?

Well, I just wanted to make this video to tell you that you don't have to take that advice.

And this isn't about being ungrateful or rebellious, these are just some things I've been thinking about on going through myself.

As someone who makes YouTube videos where I share my thoughts and try to answer people's questions,

because I sometimes post like questions on Instagram and get some answers

and try to I don't know react to it

and as someone who also watches YouTube videos

and listens to other people's stories I really hope my videos don't just become advice for someone.

I hope they can simply be a little bit of inspiration instead not like advice something

that makes you think then something that tells you what to do.

We're constantly surrounded by advice that comes from a good place.

We are encouraged to follow the choices of people who seem to have everything figured out, to follow that formula for success.

But I don't think that path will always lead us to a life

that makes us happy because their advice will take you to where they are not where you want to be.

So welcome back to this episode of This Hazel.

you know i think most advice actually comes from love

and that's what makes it so hard to dislike

or ignore like your parents want you to have a secure future

so they encourage you to choose a stable

or a reasonable practical career even if the dream you had growing up was something

that completely different your friends start getting married and buying houses

and suddenly people start asking you when you're gonna do the same thing.

And it's funny because just five minutes ago, you felt pretty sure about the direction you were going in,

but then this little feeling of anxiety starts, you know, growing.

Because you feel like you are falling behind, like everyone else is following the right path, right timeline, and somehow you're not because you're different.

I think it's pretty natural thing that happens

when we are trying to figure out our own lives while being surrounded by other people's expectations.

Even when advice comes from a place of genuine love, support and concern, it's still based on the other people's expectations,

values and also like fears and stuff.

We see the life that made them happy but we sometimes forget

that our idea of happiness might be very different from theirs.

Also we hear about the right way to build a life

but we don't always hear about what they had to give up there to get

that right way of their life and maybe those are things that we are not willing to give up ourselves.

For some of you who are new to this channel, I'll give you a little background of myself.

I used to act in Korea.

I was an actor in Korea, mostly on the stage but sometimes in front of the cameras too.

After moving to Vancouver, I worked at the company doing marketing and design

and now I'm freelancing on teaching Korean my language as well I'll leave a link below in case you're interested

but anyway okay just imagine I was a kid I was like 16 17 18

and I'm saying that like I want to be an actor

so I heard

so many people express their concerns about me pursuing art

you can imagine right

I went to a high school where most students did really

well academically like they wanted to be a doctor lawyer like this kind of studying for kids um yeah

it was pretty common studying from like 9 a .m to like 10 p .m

and then go to academy after that

and they study studying a lot of hours right

and it wasn't really the kind of place where people considered going into the arts

so I naturally started hiding the fact that I wanted to be an actor

and I was preparing for it

because I wanted to go to the university for it I just didn't think

that the students or like my friends would understand or relate to

that dream of course I told my best best friends that

but in general I didn't tell anyone about it

but it's not like that made me unhappy I was not sad about it

if anything I think it showed how much

that dream meant to me it had already grown

so big inside me that I didn't really need other people's support to keep it alive

if that makes sense just having that dream was enough to make me feel fulfilled

but even back then at

that young age I think I was already aware of how much other people's support concerns

and even like a tiny curiosity could affect my decisions.

I knew how easily I could be swayed by what other people thought.

I think what's even harder is that we want to make these people happy too.

We understand that they mean well.

We know they care about us but when we keep trying to fit ourselves into a life that doesn't feel like ours,

we slowly start to lose ourselves.

That's where things can get dangerous because because when we spend too much time trying to meet other people's expectations,

we can slowly move further and further away from who we actually are and that happened to me too.

The real problem isn't just feeling confused, it's what happened when we start making decisions based on that confusion.

Sometimes we get so caught up in other people's definitions of happiness

and success that we forget to ask ourselves what those things even mean to us.

Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to do something related to arts.

It's always been there.

The specific thing that I wanted to do changed over the years.

Like I wanted to be a singer, I wanted to be an actor, like it always changed.

But it was always something creative or something connected to art.

And just think about how much your values and interests can change as you go through school,

go to university and meet different friends and start working.

Then when I moved to another country, I think I became even more confused about what I actually wanted.

And to be honest, I still am.

When I'm doing something creative, I feel so happy that I think, yes, this is it.

This is what I want to do.

But then I meet someone who's very focused on making money, like financial plans and the whole thing.

And suddenly I'm like, right, money is probably the most important thing like it's it's huge it's powerful let's just make money

and i can read a book that reminds me how important family is

and i think yeah family that's what matters the most

and i spend more time on my own become more comfortable being alone and i start feeling like there's something

almost spiritual about loneliness and i received

so much advice throughout all of this i've listened to

so many different perspectives and I've tried to make sense of all these different ways of living.

But the older I get, the more certain I become of one thing.

I'm the one who has to figure this out.

There is no shortcut to understanding myself and I don't think you can simply follow someone's advice and skip that whole process.

One thing I feel a little sad about is that

100

when I was studying acting i spent

101

so much time with this bright -eyed people in their 20s who all dreamed of becoming actors

102

i don't really know what your university experience was like

103

because i've heard a lot about like a team project

104

and some people don't really show up i have to do the presentation

105

but no one really helps me to do like it's annoying to be in the team project

106

but for acting students all of this really was the dream

107

so we'd work on group projects or put on little performances like everyone's

108

so into it like we are just so genuinely passionate about this project

109

so like even though someone's busy with something else we don't care it's just our passion

110

so so we spend our days and nights at school eating sleeping we i actually slept

111

at school to do the better work for the project

112

and creating things together it was just nobody was forcing us to do any of it we were there

113

because we genuinely wanted to be it was such a beautiful experience to be part of it

114

and i also got to watch those people grow up to graduating the university

115

and then looking for the actual work some of them eventually realized oh being an actor

116

it's actually hard to make money doing this

117

and money is really important to me

118

so I'll just go get a regular job

119

and other people came to a different realization you know what money

120

that's not very important to me I can live with less money

121

and then still be happy I'll just chase my dream

122

because that's my passion and I think both are completely valid choices but when When I look at my situation,

123

I feel like I still haven't figured that out.

124

I don't think that I've really decided what I'm willing to give up

125

and what I absolutely don't want to let go of.

126

Did I want to become an artist who had very little money but a rich inner world?

127

Or did I want to look back on those days and say just like,

128

those were good times while going to work at a regular office shop.

129

Honestly, I don't think either of those feels quite right for me and that's why I still don't know.

130

I'm not complaining about the advice that I received.

131

I didn't really have all the people in my life who constantly pushed the advice on me.

132

My parents even, they were not the kind of people who forced me to do things.

133

They were supportive.

134

They were just waiting for me.

135

I'm just talking about the general idea here.

136

The power of experiencing things for yourself and why other people's advice doesn't really have to influence your decisions.

137

I think the big part of feeling happy and fulfilled comes from knowing

138

that we are making our own choices and that those choices reflect what really matters to us.

139

It's not that people give bad advice.

140

It's that the answer that works best for them might be completely wrong for you.

141

If there were just one piece of advice that worked for everyone, wouldn't life be so much easier?

142

So what do we do?

143

How do we find our way back to ourselves?

144

We have to become a little more comfortable with not having everyone's approval.

145

And we have to accept that figuring out what kind of life we want is going to be messy, uncomfortable, and sometimes confusing.

146

I think the first step is to spend more time with yourself.

147

Maybe that means spending time alone.

148

Another thing we can learn to do is just recognize when someone else's idea of a good life starts influencing our choices.

149

Do you feel pressured to choose something because it looks impressive than because it feels right to you?

150

Are you adopting certain goals just because the people you love expect you to have them?

151

And I want to be better at this myself too.

152

I want to be more open about things I'm still struggling with and the things I haven't figured out yet.

153

I want to give myself more opportunities to be honest about those things

154

and I hope this channel can be a place where I can do that.

155

I also hope that when people talk to each other in the comments, they feel like they can be honest too.

156

Not because we have all the answers, but because we're trying to figure things out in our own ways.

157

You don't need to have everything figured out right now

158

Because at the end of the day

159

No one else can live your life for you

160

And no matter how much they love you

161

They can't figure out what makes your life meaningful on your behalf

162

And that's something only you can discover

163

Yeah Thank you for today

164

And let me know what you think in the comments

165

Talk to you soon I think I like me I think I like me I like the way I look

166

And I like the way I feel

167

When I take my clothes off

168

Oh, I'll take my clothes off

169

And just be real

170

People will wonder

171

How I got this way

172

How I did it

173

They don't understand

174

That life's not about getting there

175

It's just about being

176

On Saturdays, Saturdays where I can be myself I take my insecurities

177

and put them on a shelf I think I like me

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
