 Hello everybody welcome back to my channel. I hope that you're all doing well. Welcome back to this little podcast. I don't even know what it is. I'm not even really convinced that it's an actual podcast because it's technically not because I'm really just making YouTube videos but that's fine. We're just gonna call it for today episode two of whatever podcast this is. I got a really good response from my last video episode one if you will. You guys really seemed to like it and a lot of you really liked the idea of me continuing to just make these sit down chit chat videos, these little podcast episodes and I really enjoyed making it and so we're just gonna go with it. I'm not really planning it too much. We're just gonna see where these episodes go but as long as you guys are here and watching them then I'll keep making them so I think it could be fun. So today we're gonna be talking about things that I am too old for at the age of 26 soon to be 27 so let's get into it. So let me just say before we start these are things that apply to me personally so I am not saying that if you are 26 27 and you still like doing some of these things or whatever the case may be that I'm saying that you're wrong I definitely am not these are just things that I have been noticing lately as I start to transition out of my mid 20s which is really weird to say these are just things that I have been discovering as I get older so whether you relate to them or you don't yet that's okay but I hope that you enjoy nonetheless. Okay so thing number one we're gonna start off easy is sleeping in my makeup I am too old to be doing this the last time I did this was in February and I have not done it since then we're in April now so we're doing we're doing okay I need to stop doing this okay and I've been making a conscious effort and like I said I've been doing better my skin is not getting any younger the likelihood of me getting wrinkles is well it's never gonna go away but it's certainly not gonna go away now as I'm getting older and I need to be taking better care of my skin and so even if it's a night out or I get home at three four in the morning which I really try my hardest not to do anymore and I really don't anymore but even regardless of what time I get home I need to do my skincare routine okay and I'm more like reprimanding myself here is I really need to stop doing this okay it's not good it's not good at any age it is not good at almost 27 years old okay I'm speaking to myself right now I had a night out last weekend I think I got home maybe 2 to 30 and I was tired but I did my whole skincare routine and I was very proud of myself and we need more of that energy going into my 27th year okay all right so that's number one second thing I am too old for at 26 is not speaking up at the nail salon or the hair salon I used to be petrified of speaking up when I was younger if I didn't like something if I didn't like the nail shape or if I didn't like the color that was going on to my hair I would never say a peep I don't know if it's because I thought it was rude or whatever the case may be but I would never do it and my mom would always be like Sam you're paying for this you're paying 40-50 bucks for your nails or for your hair it's a lot more than that just like you're paying for it get what you want make sure you're paying for something that you're going to enjoy I get my nails done every four weeks if I don't like it I'm gonna have to live with it for a whole month so I am growing out of that now or now I am not afraid to say hey can you file this a little differently or I don't like that color as much as I thought I did I'm so sorry about can we change it and if you're personable with them and you're friendly with them and I try to have little conversations with them here in there I treat them like they're people so now I am not afraid to speak up and just make sure that I am getting what I want and what I'm paying for so being afraid to speak up at any kind of salon for me is a no more kind of situation so that's number two number three is I am too old for guilty pleasures now let me explain and when I say guilty pleasure I mean why is it a guilty pleasure right if you like something you like it it doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure I love watching dancing with the stars I don't feel guilty about that so I don't think it's a guilty pleasure I like to watch ASMR videos and I don't I no longer really call it a guilty pleasure because you shouldn't feel guilty about it if it's something that you enjoy and it's something that you like to watch or read or do don't feel bad about it own it to be like yeah I love that I love watching that I love doing that and the more you own it to the less inclined people will be to think of it as a guilty pleasure they're like oh they love doing that and they own it cool good for you so yeah that's a very simple one I've just stopped calling them guilty pleasures it's just a pleasure it's just something you like and that's okay the next thing that I am too old for is doing things to impress people and I started thinking about this as I watched others do it you know whether that be you know if you don't like drinking as much or if you don't want to go out one night you know people will say oh like you know you're no fun if it's something that you don't want to do or something that you think you know oh they're like they're gonna think bad of me if I don't want to do that or if I don't want to take that extra shot or have that extra drink or stay out until 4am or whatever whatever this could literally be their endless possibilities of what this could be but doing things to impress people is just so it's very high school to me in college too because that's something that happens in college too but it's just it's a it's a very young person thing for me whereas I feel like when you get older you kind of just like I said with the last point like you just you start to own things if you don't want to do it you don't have to do it and you don't have to answer to anybody so doing things to impress people really just makes you feel worse in the end I think and it's important to have people in your life that don't that won't make you feel that way you know they'll just say oh you don't want to do that okay that's cool no worries and we go on with our lives so doing things to impress people too old for that okay the next thing I did I did for so long I am too old to be accumulating things that I don't need that could be clothes it could be makeup it could be anything I was the type of person that didn't want to throw things away because I was like oh what if I need it one day or what if I can use it one day clothes oh that doesn't really fit me right now but what if it fits me one day again and I want to wear it that results in clutter and clutter makes me crazy I didn't realize how anxious it makes me feel to have clutter until I started to get rid of things and donate things and throw things away and then you just feel like this weight is lifted off of you I don't know if this is just me or if some of you experienced this too but just getting rid of things makes me feel so relieved and so like just like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders my role lately has been every time I get a new clothing item or clothing items in general if I do a little shopping I have to donate things as well so if I'm getting two or three new shirts I'm gonna donate two or three clothing items I'm telling myself you should not have to buy more hangers if you have to buy more hangers it's a problem so I'm gonna I'd rather donate things than have to make space for more things so that's been my role I've been doing that for the past couple months now and it's been working beautifully the next one is kind of funny I am too old to day drink and night drink in the same day I can no longer do it guys there was a dime that I could drink two three days in a row at all hours of the day and it wasn't a problem now I don't want to do that anymore but let's just say I wanted to right I could no longer do it and I know that now if I'm gonna drink in the afternoon have some mimosas have whatever some seltzers whatever if I'm gonna drink early in the day best believe by like 9 p.m. I want to be in pajamas watching something on the couch in bed whatever we could still be hanging out we'll still hang out but I'm not going back out I'm not going I can't do it like I said I don't really want to do it anymore but even if I wanted to I can't do it yesterday I had two mimosas around noon and by like four two mimosas by like 4 p.m. I had a headache I can't I can't do it I can't do it anymore am I alone in this I just I can't do it and I used to feel bad and I used to feel pressured like well why can't you do it anymore you should be able to like what's wrong with you and now I know that there's nothing wrong with me I just won and in pretty much almost my late 20s now you can't hang like you used to and that's okay and I shouldn't feel guilt when it comes to that like I used to and now I don't care like yesterday it was a Saturday I had some mimosas during day and that was it I didn't drink for the rest of the day I didn't feel the need to go out at night and I enjoyed my Saturday night even even still so day drinking night drinking the same day Sammy can't hang anymore I'm sorry and the last thing I am too old for is not taking accountability for my actions now this should not really happen at any age but it comes to a certain point where you are much too old to not be able to take accountability for things it's how you grow it's how you learn and you know when we're when we're younger you kind of try to like skate away from it or you know shy away from taking accountability it's a natural thing but as you get older I've learned that it's okay to make mistakes it's okay to do things wrong and just be like yeah I could have done that differently next time I'm gonna do it differently I'm gonna change it I'm going to approach the situation differently or I'm going to think a little bit more before I act or whatever the case may be I feel like I've said whatever the case may be a couple times in this video I'm sorry I'm annoying myself I'm not gonna say it anymore but yes I have learned to take accountability for my actions the little things the bigger things everything and I think it's more respectable when you do do that and be like yeah I messed up and then you take that and you run with it and next time you do it differently and it just it may it's gonna make people respect you so much more and you're gonna respect yourself so much more so yeah guys those were the seven things that I came up with for this little podcast episode I hope that you enjoyed if you relate to any of the things that
