That woman screams being the type that 10 years later she's going to make a video about not being able to find anyone and how terrible it is to be alone.

Why is she doing this to herself?

That's the most depressing video I've seen in a while.

It´s delicious, especially when you share it with your kids.

As a single dude with zero responsibilities I'm too busy enjoying life to make a dumb video justifying my meaningless life.
Hell it took some effort just replying in this thread

Her way of talking is making me ANGERY.
Also this is just fucking awful. This video perfectly encapsulates everything that's wrong with modern women. Somehow, they have been successfuly brainwashed into thinking that relationships, marriage, love and kids are bad things and substituing them with shallow entertainment is freedom, empowering and good.
We live long lives. She will wake up and eat crows one day, and it's gonna be way too late then. And no, cats are not substitutes either.

And then everyone clapped. Such a fulfilling life!
I swear half of these dolts are part of some psyop to destabilise the west (even further) and the other actually believe their own words.

I have 3 kids and there is many times through the week I wished I could just make shashouka and I don't even know what it is.

Being ~30 and drinking until 1am or whatever, sleeping up to 10am... yeah, that person will be super healthy in a few years.

I find vlogs/tiktoks like this a little distressing, because it feels like a silent cry for help. People live fulfilling lives in numerous ways, but whenever you have to reaffirm it in this way, it comes across as a method of coping with what it is you're lacking. In her case, it's “whenever i'm hard on myself about why i'm not married and I don't have kids”, she has an innate desire to have to be married and have kids.
About what?

Yes I got that too; it is like she is seeking justification of action due past pain so she feels the need to broadcast on social media.
Having a family is a big responsibly. She is free of that and that is what she is saying. Its just a statement. Is that self evident
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Stopped at 29 and single. No way she's 29 maybe 39.
When she's old and alone and wonders, What do I do wrong? She has this video to reflect on.

Not a good look, if she wasn’t single she could be getting plowed instead of making sad tik tok videos on a Saturday morning.

Not every person wants to, or should, be a parent. Not every person wants to, or should, be in a romantic relationship.
And that's perfectly ok.
Also, it's harder to have a family and/or relationship with THIS economy.

Holy crap truth. Grocery prices are crazy. $6 for a box of cereal.
The only comment I have about this video is her body language and way she is talking is more like she is trying to convince herself, rather than talk about how awesome her life is...

The problem is that her video comes off as her justifying how great it is but having an air of her trying to justify it for her herself.

Dad of two boys here.
Sometimes I think I'd give my left nut to have no responsibilities again. Just be able to blast through a 50+ hour game in a week or go on an impromptu beach trip with my wife.
Having kids is HARD. It's extremely difficult! I barely cleared having two under two (oldest was 25 months when his little brother was born). We are almost at 3 and 1 now and it's still hard.
BUT.
Kids grow up. My oldest talks in full sentences now. He's a breeze in comparison to his baby years. And my youngest is the most relaxed, chill little guy ever (polar opposite of his older brother). Watching your kids grow and change is amazing. Watching the growth and change in yourself is also amazing. Watching the growth and change in your spouse/partner is amazing! I love seeing my wife with our kids. She's an incredible mother. I had been with her for nearly a decade before we had kids, and I always knew she would be a great mom. Now I get to see it every day, and she gets to see me be a dad.
So yeah, even though shit is really, really hard right now, it's not going to be this hard forever. As I said above, kids grow up. It seems like people think having kids=being up all night and changing diapers forever. In reality kids are usually sleeping through the night between 6 months and 1 year, and out of diapers by 3. Then you've got about 8-9 years of true childhood before they are tweens/teens and want nothing to do with you. Then you survive the teen years, and next thing you know you're visiting them at college for the weekend. Then you're giving them advice about their first grown-up jobs and health insurance and retirement accounts. Then, if you're lucky, they're spending a lot of time with you and even bringing their own children around.
Assuming you aren't ancient when you have kids, you should think of having kids not as having literal "KIDS" but having children of your own, and those children, God willing you live a normal lifespan, will be adults for decades of your life. You will be a parent to a child for a very short period of time, but to an adult for much longer. I know my parents were often wistful about my and my brother's childhood, but the relationship they had/have with us as adults is the best part of parenthood. I hope that's the case for me, my wife, and our boys.

Can't tell if it's satire or not. Rewatching the Housewives of New York suggests she's being facetious here.

Reminds me of Mary Ann from GTA V. She even resembles her. With that being said there's nothing wrong with her wanting to get it out of her system. She'll settle down when she's ready, I just hope she has somebody to settle down with.

My kid is grown now... I'm single ... And having a place all to myself and not having to worry about feeding anyone other than myself is a great feeling. Though I have to be SORTA caretaker to her mom (who's in the hospital) and translate for her and be some moral support... I am generally happy where I am.

That’s what this actual video screams to me…you can tell she wants the things she doesn’t have…otherwise, why else would you have to post a video to others about how you are good with it? (Hint, she’s not good with it and she’s trying to feel better about it, by getting BS co-signs from internet strangers).

It's hard to tell these days. Which is sad.
Crazy Cat Lady in the making.
Edit: It's good she's not having any kids and hopefully she never does. I don't think she'd be a good parent /role model. Drinking and paying in your 30's is a good sign that she isn't responsible.
