when doing nothing is everything
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to just exist. Not chasing goals, not grinding-just being still. It’s weird how doing nothing feels so wrong, like you’re falling behind or wasting time. But what if that’s where the clarity is? What if in all the chaos, the real answers come when you finally stop moving? This isn’t a guide or some 'how-to' on life-it’s just me, sitting in that space, trying to figure out why we’re so afraid to slow down. Maybe you feel it too, or maybe you’re wondering if it’s even possible.

unlearning what I thought I knew
มุมมอง 11012 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Ever feel like you're walking through life just to realize you might've been heading in the wrong direction? This is me trying to figure out how to unlearn everything I thought I had down. Join me in this late-night walk as I strip away the assumptions, beliefs, and expectations that I once held tight. This isn't about having answers-it's about letting go of what I thought I knew. Take the walk...
alone with my thoughts at 3am
มุมมอง 6316 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Ever find yourself up at 3AM, alone with your thoughts, and the silence gets louder? That’s when everything hits - the doubts, the unanswered questions, the moments you can’t shake. This video is about that space where it’s just you, the night, and everything you’ve been avoiding during the day. No distractions, just raw honesty.

มุมมอง 3.2K21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I’m not sure when it started, but somewhere along the line, living turned into just... existing. Like I’m here, but not really. Going through the motions, saying the right things, doing what I’m supposed to, but inside? It’s like nothing hits the same anymore. Ever feel like that?

what if I'm just a ghost?
มุมมอง 191วันที่ผ่านมา
Ever get that feeling like you’re just drifting? Like you’re here, but not really here? Sometimes I wonder if I’m more of a ghost than anything. Just floating through life, unnoticed, unseen, while everything keeps moving around me. I’m in the same rooms as everyone else, but it’s like I’m in a different world. In this video, I’m diving deep into that feeling-of being present but distant, of qu...
is this all there is?
มุมมอง 60วันที่ผ่านมา
In the quiet moments when the world feels distant, it’s easy to question everything. Is this life really all there is? We grind through the days, chasing after meaning, success, happiness...but for what? Sometimes it feels like we’re stuck on autopilot, going through the motions, hoping there’s something more out there, but never really finding it. #existentialthoughts #findingmeaning #latenight
late night thoughts
มุมมอง 117วันที่ผ่านมา
Some nights, the silence is deafening, and the weight of my thoughts feels heavier than usual. This video is a raw reflection of those late-night moments when the world feels distant, and you’re left alone with your mind. It’s about the struggle to make sense of it all, the fears that creep in, and the quiet desperation to find peace within the chaos. If you’ve ever felt lost in your own though...
caught between two worlds
มุมมอง 5814 วันที่ผ่านมา
Ever feel like you’re living two lives, torn between who you are and who you’re supposed to be? It’s like being stuck in a constant state of in-between, not really fitting in anywhere. This is me trying to make sense of that feeling, of what it means to be caught between two worlds. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, maybe you’ll relate. Music by klr

    This is so relatable. I don't care about anything. I continue to do what I used to enjoy doing because it's easier than having to explain that I don't care at all and I know that I would only feel worse about myself if I just gave up completely. Still, I don't care. I don't care about my friends, I don't care about my family, my parents, my brother. I feel fake. I can't feel any sort of attachment to anyone or anything. If my parents went and died right now (I'm still in high school) the most worrying thing to me would be where I was going to go, how I would be taken care of. I don't think I would care at all that they had died and I would never see them again. Sometimes I watch youtube, and occasionally it makes me laugh, sometimes even my "friends" make me laugh, but it's not real happiness---the smile, the laughter falls away almost instantly, and no feelings of mirth remain afterward. I pretend that I'm sick or that I can't go to school just so I can avoid them so I don't have to try to pretend like I care about them. I have really supportive, kind friends, and they know I'm depressed, but they don't know that I don't give a flying fuck whether I see them or not. Occasionally this horrible feeling just envelops me, this existential horror and the unconscious rejection that anything is real. I just disconnect completely from reality, every single person becomes a total stranger to me. The thought that I am a person in this world is impossible to grasp, and I can't even function. Usually it passes, but it seems to be becoming permanent little by little, starting with just a little bit of uneasiness and anxiety and gradually worsening over time.

      it takes a lot to put this out there, and I appreciate you sharing it. sometimes we disconnect just to survive, and I get how exhausting it can be pretending like everything's fine when it’s not. just know it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling, even if it’s nothing at all. you’re still here, and that means something.

    I have the sme feelings except I did solve the problem. I found someone I connected with hard and really understood and who understood me. Not like a boyfriend girlfriend thing but just a person who genuinely wanted me to succeed and who genuinely wanted to see succeed also. I felt for a brief moment that it wasnt just pointless and that even if the world was shit I could enjoy it with someone who enjoyed me. I lost that friend. I feel like I will never recoup that feeling. I am not living. I am older every day.

    As a society we were promised we could be anything. Only for it to be ripped away. We are told to let our dreams die. Dreaming is seen as unrealistic. More and more we’re being pushed to be cogs in a machine. It’s a tale as old as time. Demons are just angels that dared to dream. Fight on. Even if you don’t think it will get better, even if everything is screaming at you that you won’t amount to anything keep fighting. Even just out of spite for this existence. Never give up and never give in. Because in the end, all that matters is you tried. That is the only certainty you can garruntee.

    I would say I'm recovering from feeling the exact same way; just empty. The thing that has helped me not just exist, is to surround myself with the things i love, like being around the people i love, hobbies i enjoy, and just the things that make me happiest. Try to think about what has or does make you feel the happiest, and if there's nothing you can think of, find one. Try working out, talking to people online, go fishing, try taking a hike, or just go on a walk. You'll eventually find something, and if you somehow don't, at least you're trying to look for something instead of just settling and doing nothing, just existing. I understand it's hard to get out of a place like that, but if you want something bad enough, in this case, happiness, then you'll eventually find something that makes life worth living. You're not the only person to even feel this way, and just that should be enough to push you to find something you love.

If you have anyone you can reach out to that you trust and feel safe with, I suggest trying to talk to them about how you're feeling. It can be really hard, but once you do you'll find out that everyone has been there, or at least knows of the feeling and can be there for you, and sometimes that's all you really needed all along. I hope you find what you're looking for, whether it's a job, a significant other, friend, hobby, or anything it could possibly be that means something to you. And sometimes, its when you're not looking for something is when you'll find it, I know you'll figure it out, it just takes time. I know these are just words, but I hope you can find something in them that can help, the thing that helped me actually is figuring out what I want my future to look like, I'd like to be a psychologist someday.

    I'm going through the same feelings that you've talked about in every video. Always looking for a solution or an asnwer to everything about what's wrong or what living really is. I've looked for answers through a doctor, friends, family but none have come through to actually see the real problem. Instead I've been perscribed with antidepressants and been told I may just have ADHD, but I feel trapped even on medications. No matter what medication I take, person I talk to, or thought I make nothing truly changes and the next day comes around and the cycle repeats. There's always a feeling of want and desire but those seem so far out of my grasp that I will always just be in a stagnant state of being where nothing will change. I'm determined however to keep moving forward even if the path ahead is an infinite circle or simply just a treadmill. These may change in the future but it's truly hard to imagine a future as the thought of one is cloudy or foggy. As I'm in my early 20's I'm not certain of when this started all I know is all of a sudden around the time of late middle school my brain just randomly snapped as if it has shifted from one thought process to another in an instant. However with all I've said I feel a little bit better knowing there's at least someone and other people out there that feel the same way. Thank you for making these videos I will continue along your journy and maybe it just might help me get through mine. <3

    You said you feel empty and disconnected, but the truth is, you can fix it by putting your mind to something and not giving up. Everyone today lives such comfortable lives that they’ve forgotten the power of discomfort. Pain is real, and so is the satisfaction of pushing through it. Start by making yourself uncomfortable-run or train every morning. Try mountain climbing, fighting, or endurance sports. Extreme challenges force you to feel deeply, and through discomfort, you’ll rediscover yourself. Keep pushing, and you’ll never feel empty again.

    I had my existential crisis a couple years ago. I had to talk to a psychiatrist. I didn’t know what was going on. Turning 40 is weird. He diagnosed me with Massive Depressive Disorder and put me on meds. The meds didn’t answer any of my concerns, but they did make me get out of my depression and start seeing things in a lighter manner. Now I feel so much better even though my circumstances haven’t necessarily changed. Things don’t seem dark and dreary anymore and I look forward to things again, which had become a foreign feeling. There’s help. It may or may not be in the form of medicinal intervention, but, regardless, you’re not stuck.
