thanks for this 🙏

Sometimes the truth can be hard.

I think the internet offers something that real life can't: the opportunity to meet many more people, and to find connectiosn that might not be possible in your local area. It's what has tuned out to be one of the greatest things about being part of a minority group in the age of the internet: we're a lot less lonely and isolated than those who couldn't benefit from the internet were. They may be "internet" friends, but I don't see that as being all that different than being a pen friend, which was something quite common in the time before the internet. There were entire newspaper sections dedicated to those seeking pen friends, once upon a time. A friendship is a friendship, no matter how it starts, or where it started. Finding a kindred spirit is a special thing, it can help us feel more connected with the world at large, and that's wonderful when the world is a chaotic and difficult place to feel alone in.

Im 50. I lie when i want to stay home. Oh..i have a appointment, or have plans already. A lie is not always a bad thing when your tired and want to cozy up in your own little world, especially after a hard day work....love your channel. ❤

I've been through a crap ton, yet I've come out stronger, I've been shattered, then put back together. There is nothing that will hold me back, because the more I am pushed, the greater my comeback will be.

my friend send me this video and this comment is for the algorythm so people see more of you. great work keep it up

wow Sorry for rambling, this comment will be a little heavy and venty Everything about this video made me emotional, in a good way I'm not a venter or even really a commenter but I'll share my own thoughts I'll be moving to adulthood rather soon. I practically skipped my childhood because every second of it was covered with people online making fun of the 'edgy kid', the 'dumb kid' or the 'depressed kid'- just making fun of every phase of ever point of life I looked at it and said to myself that id never be looked down upon like that, I wanted to be someone people found reliable and trusting I ended up becoming exactly all the things I refused to become It feels like the harder I try to run away from things, the faster they sneak up on me I've had to move a lot in my childhood- I never had friends for longer than a year or two, and after elementary, i got pulled out of public school to be homeschooled Yet my parents have just as bad of commitment issues as I do. They didn't put in very much work to keep me going- I love them to death, but they never fought to keep me standing A couple years ago they finally settled on a home that I suppose I can consider my final childhood home. It's fifteen minutes away from the nearest gas station and thirty minutes away from the nearest town So safe to say I'm not really making any friends anytime soon So now that I'm almost an adult it feels like I just have to figure everything out on my own What's my point? I never even considered becoming the main character. I feel like the definition of a side character. 90% of my days are filled episodes, I leave the house maybe twice a week currently but I've gone months without doing it at all Everyone I'm close to is online, though they all have so many friends and experiences in real life they talk about The longest I've known someone outside of the three people I live with has been 4 years I tried my best to dedicate my life to making others happy, but it's really gotten draining Every time I try to force myself to be happy about things, the unhappiness crashes back five times harder within a week All of this has just been dragging on me lately!! I try to be as aware of myself and my mental state as possible, I try to wrap any of my emotions in a neat little bow to share with anyone who asks as fast as possible so they can move on with their lives I'm not a very happy person- overweight, clearly depressed (though my parents are not fans of doctors so I haven't been to one years, I've never gotten my mental health tested) I know I don't need that to become a human, though I don't need to have everything about me measured to exist in this world I can still become a main character, I know my life has only just begun It feels like it hasn't even started yet I feel like I've already messed up everything about myself- but I know I still have so much to go It feels like it's so hard to move at all But I know everyone feels this- it makes my emotions feel so insignificant and weak and even more of a side character But I know that what I do with these feelings will be my character development This is only a chapter in my life Thank you, stranger, for really making me think about how I live in a good way!! This was really a nice break from my usually consumed content I'm going to get out of here now before I make this comment even longer This video is just so sweet to me

Love this.

This channel is just therapy. 10/10 Would recomend

really good video! thank you :D +1 sub

This remind me of when I was learning to play drums. I watched a lot of great drummers and kept trying to play the way they did. I put in my mind that I AM as good as they are. I did this until one morning, I woke up and WAS as good as they were. So, fake it until you make it is a way of manifesting the reality that you want. I repeated the same process when I learned piano too.

I love you're videos I turned 16 two days ago and finnaly everything seems at peace yes my life is trashy kinda rn but I feel at peace and that I can try again in life it's like I opened my eyes and your videos are helping me understand now that the dust is settling

at 7:15 it wasn't even that bad

My problem is that I'am almost never completely open/"myself" even when I talk to my friends, just because of the type of "relationship" I want to have with people. I don't like opening up but I still enjoy spending time with my friends, thats why it would be probably very hard for me to act "casual" around a crush, since I dont really open up even with towards very close friends...

U truly know how to relate with people

W vid

Why? I’m confused

i always wach this first in the morning its so peaseful

I didn't have an idle until I found you, Thank you for making me realize things I always thought were trivial, You are my idle, Thank you

These Kinds of videos are the kind I wish I could make but fr man you are doing life's work with these vids

The episodes focused on someone else on that day, they're still about your character growth, how the people around you help you become your future self, and how you help them become their future self.

This video really spoke to me. It reminds me of a saying that I heard when I first started struggling with my saxophone. My dad told me that "hard work will always beat talent when talent refuses to work hard." I never forgot that saying, because all you really have to do is try. Thank you for making this video.

Wow.

facts

You are the main character of your life

I always thought that i am average, maybe not even that. All it took was my classmate to tel me that i am so interesting person, because of my hobbies. (i wrote a book, i like to cook, i made videos on YT, i play guitar for a decade, also piano and i like to sing, trying to be succesfull in investing). And then it hit me, i was like "Damn, maybe i really am above average." I still dont believe it, but when i remember what she told me, it makes me fell better about myself. And this video reminded me of her words, thank you :)

What shaders and texture packs are you using in this video? Love your messages in your videos btw

This story makes me feel so lucky. I sailed across the North Sea during a major storm, in a tiny sailing ship. When we left port in the UK, it was 3s, gusting 4s, good sailing weather. As we got closer to our destination in Holland, the weather got progressively worse. It got so bad, we had to bring the sails in, and use the motors, because the winds were strong enough the mast would have been damaged by the forces the wind was putting on it. By the time we reached the harbor, we had 8s with sustained gusts of 9. We were the very last boat allowed into the harbor before the harbor gates were closed to protect the boats moored inside. The harbor was absolutely packed. We had to moor to another boat, rather than to a jetty, because there was no space left for a ship of our size to moor. We got settled in, and got to know our brand new sailing buddies that we were moored to. Overnight, the storm continued to worsen. The next morning, after torrential rain and horrendous wind overnight, we left harbour for our return trip. The weather was calm and sunny. If you know about storms, you probably know where this story is going. We were under sail for maybe an hour before the wind died down. By lunchtime, the sea, normally rough and choppy, was glassy smooth, and I could see huge schools of moon jellyfish. It was beautiful, but eerily still, winds so close to 0 as to make almost no difference. We pulled out the racing sailing book from the cabin, and pulled more sails out, taking the chance to use some extreme sail rigging tricks to try catch what little wind we had. We had motors, but we wanted to take the rare opportunity to try some new things and learn something new. We did pretty well, we managed to get up to 7 knots of speed in those conditions, but we basically had every single sail the ship had rigged in all sorts of strange and creative ways to maximize our canvas area. We had sails tied off to everywhere we could find a strong enough tie point, we even discussed rigging a kite sail (but decided against it, because we weren't sure we had enough wind for the wind to take it up, and didn't want to foul our rudder in the middle of the North Sea if it dropped and we sailed over it. When we got back to our home port, we all headed home. By the evening, the weather was as bad as it had been on our outbound trip. The news the next morning reported that some boats had been lost to the storm. That was when I started worrying. The people whose boat we had been moored to hadn't come with us, despite our invitation to sail together. They were nursing horrendous hangovers, and needed to sleep it off before setting sail. I don't know whether they made it home safely. I hope they did, but I don't know for sure. If we'd left later than we had, there's a chance I wouldn't be here to tell the tale.

I didn't just quit for 100 days. I quit entirely. Only about three years later have I returned to Twitter, with a new account that only follows specific creators or news outlets, and that I won't be replying with. It's just there so that I can do a quick scroll once a day and see if there's anything I missed that peaks my interest, or so that I can contact various customer support accounts on Twitter for services that I use. That feeling of being disconnected from the world, and the news, soon faded. If I needed to know about it, other people would be talking about it around me anyway, and I might see headlines on newspapers on public transport. I might open an Instagram, but knowing my track record with Flickr, I think it likely I'll rarely post on it. The main reason I'm thinking about opening an Instagram is to stay in contact with some friends whose primary point of contact is via Insta. Now that I don't use social media regularly, I spend a lot more time creating, and reading. I've been reading philosophy and politics because of a genuine interest, and I feel like I'm more engaged with my world than social media made me feel.

talent and new years resolutions are pretty toxic concepts. i'm baffled by how many people only realize in their adult life that talent doesn't exist. i was one of the "gifted" kids in school, but my drawings weren't good because i was magically good at drawing, drawing was fun and i did it in my free time, so i actually practiced every day. these comments from parents and teachers that i was gifted hurt my skills in the long run, i stopped trying so hard and i only really drew in art class. i was still good at it, but i stopped improving and eventually i fell behind. you don't need to wait till new years to start improving your life. you can change things every day, not once every 365 days.

This was really well approached and maturely talked about, made me think a lot and I keep coming back to this. I'll definitely be trying your 1 tutorial a day idea over the summer. Not entirely sure what to say in this comment but I just wanted to say something.

I'm sort of in a similar but slightly different situation to what you mentioned at the start. I've always been the 'gifted kid', had the highest marks etc., but whenever it came to art or sport or something outside academia that I might enjoy, I never really tried despite being told I had 'natural talent'. It mainly came from a lack of motivation but also the pressure and expectations of others to be perfect that I felt like I could never live up to. I think it's only now that I'm not doing things to meet others' expectations and am instead practising because I really want to be good at them (digital art, my guitar etc.) that I'm able to be more than average. Thanks for this video; it's important <3

sometimes being average is ok, what matters is that everyone is their own unique person inside

So if anyone is feeling pretty scheisse, but this video ain't it for you for whatever reason (Maybe not the right situation or the like), or you're just feeling not all to happy or a bit lost or IDK whatever else reason (I just know that when I was down in the dumps this video would make me feel WORSE). I'd highly recommend watching Charlie the Unicorn and/or Ted Lasso, trust me, apart from reading all 41 Discworld books, these are about as good for (and truthful about) mental health as you can get from a non-therapist/healthy relationship you can get. Please note: I do not guarantee that it'll speak to you like it did me. Subjectiveness and different situations and experiences made me write this comment, and are the underlying reasons why I'd feel real bad if I watched this video during my darker times. So I can't guarantee it'll help. I can guarantee up until a reasonable degree that you'll probably will enjoy it. No matter what you need or how you feel, their fun. It's just that if you're feeling down and don't know how to deal with it, answers COULD be gleamed from there. Just wanted to comment this in case people who weren't in all that dandy o' time, may nar feel so scheisse if this video doesn't really apply to them.

Oh, I know I'm not average. I'm below average. With some things. Others high above. It's never normal with me. Which I wouldn't have not nearly a problem with. If things we're made to accommodate that! But jaaaaaaynimack, if there's one thing certain is that it ain't! But hey, watcha gonna do? It'd be what it'd be.

This is so beautiful. This is a message I think a lot of people need to hear. I keep telling people that what they call talent is the culmination of putting the time into something you have a passion for. It isn't natural aptitude, though you may have some natural abilities that make some things easier for you to do, but that alone won't make you stand out. What makes you stand out from the crowd is the hard work you put in. You get out what you put in, but it isn't immediate. It takes patience, perseverance and curiosity. And day by day, what you want to get good at gets easier to do, you figure out your best mental place to be, your best approach. And then, one day, someone says to you "I feel so average when you do what you do, I could never do that." And your responsibility, as someone who has put the time in, is to encourage them, to tell them it took a lot of work to make things look easy.

1:05 I don't think that's true. I think it's kind of similar to Saiyans from Dragon Ball Z. Some start off a little better or a little worse or somewhere in between. Some people can do/think things that others can't comprehend, because not everyone is the same. But it's the training and practice that really changes the stats. While some people start if with 0 - 10 skill points in something, training/practicing/doing is what gives you the bulk of your skill points, those other 990 - 1000 skill points.

My problem is always starting. Sure, I know what I want, and I can even keep up the work if I do get something going. But I never have any idea on how to actually start. I'll look something up, then get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of new information I have to understand before I can do anything and end up forgetting it all the next day. It's not something I can just practice in small parts, either - the whole thing has to be written out before I can see whether it works or not. Idk tho, maybe I've just had bad luck with the tutorials I pick

What you gonna do then AI will replace humans in music industry??? It's better to go into CS, even if you don't like it.

Thank you. This supported me. I hope your life go's very, very well.

This video relates to me a lot. For my whole life I've struggled to keep up with others, always trying new things when I felt behind in any subject. But the real solution was just to try my hardest on the 1-2 things I liked the most and until I eventually became experienced enough in those things that I liked to feel confident in my abilities. It took me years to finally find something I truly liked and couldn't get bored of, but the process was 100% worth it. I also believe we aren't born with any specific talents, but just some people start earlier than others in life for specific skills, so it appears like they are "talented". Now I'm a lot more confident in my hobbies like making videos on CZcams after years of pure practice and trying new strategies, and yet I still have a lot more to learn.

i give up

I needed this today

Wow... that hit hard.... thank you!

damn. that's actually really inspirational. personally, i've almost always been anything but average but that was mostly how i was raised, but recently, getting closer every year to adulthood, i've been working to improve myself before i have to go out on my own in the world. for instance, i've been really getting into programming. mostly minecraft mods. at this point in time, on curseforge, i have 73.6k total downloads. i have been saving money and wanting to find some kind of employment to actually earn some good money, and then i'm gonna, well, probably buy a better pc first, but then im gonna get an electric guitar and start learning that and try my luck at assorted metal genres.
