i am so glad that i clicked on this from the homepage. i rarely click on videos with low views, i guess because i think that a video with low views will be worse, but this was an absolute gem. i am 18, and i agree with everything you said in this completely, but I know that i am still going to fall for the second lie. im not gonna ever work a 9-5, (i actually run faceless hyper edited youtube pages with crazy editors and thumbnails that you probably despise 😹 to make my money) but I know i am going to chase the bugattis, and watches, and all that bs that i know deep down wont make me happy. i want to make authentic videos though about the reality of it, and i am working on some now, but i agreed with your point of not making merch, or selling a course, and ive always promised myself i would never do it but for a different reason. if your selling to your audience, they ll never know if you are being genuine in what you tell them, or if your just curating your words to sell them capitalistic garbage. i want to be as authentic as i can, and admit to what ive admitted to here to my viewers. ill try and live simply, but i know theres something inside me that will never let that happen.
In all of my relatively short life I've always wanted to change the world in monumental ways. Thinking 5 steps ahead so I can predict the best outcome that will bring me closer to the "ideal" I've pictured myself being. I graduated highschool and wasnt proud. I've gone through college and not once thought myself as achieving anything remarkable even when I've worked so hard. I believe its because I've convinced myself that I have to conquer the world, through money and recognition, in order to change it and feel as though anything was worth it. I know its likely not the case, and I'd feel the same if that unatainable goal came true. Lately I've been thinking that the snippets in my life in which I've felt the most fullfilled have been writing stories, and reading them. Finding little pleasures in the small things. Thinking about the right words for my next sentence as I pour myself some water. In those moments it feels as though my world is at arms length, as oppose to the usual fog that it is. I guess im expressing this to show you my appreciation. I've been thinking about the simplicity of things, but brushing off the thoughts after the fact. Its kind of scary to comfront your personality like that, even when its something toxic that doesnt make you happy. You've knocked some sense into me.
I'm 18 and I know that what your saying is true, but I feel that if people don't hear or see my accomplishments I will never feel as if I actually accomplished much. something inside me is telling me I need to becamse wealthy and famous, and I dont know what it is. When I think logically I realize that that wont lead to happiness, but that doesnt stop me from refusing to chase it.
As a mum, I'm so glad as a young man that you see through all this BS.
I try my best!
this video should be watched by everyone
