Last comment: it's always so trippy when I hear a song from epidemic sound in your videos that I used in one of my videos that I was super emotionally invested in! Like I'm bawling towards the end of this video because of a track I used in a video I was tatas deep in my feels about sometime this summer (I forget which one) but GEEEZZEEE music can do stuff and things to your heart that way 🫠

HAHAHAHAHA now I'm just laughing when you mentioned my name for the third time 🤣 GEEZE WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH ME TYLER hahahahahfhjsklfjdksl;fjgkdsl;gjksd;ljghsk

Oh hunny bunny. Pausing at 18:02 to let you know I'm here and I am SO listening, and I SO see you 👁 As you know, we are on wildly similar TH-cam journeys in so many ways - I returned home to the Kootenays last week after my VERY last house & pet sitting gig deep in the forest, and uploaded my final vlog from that gig a couple of days ago. Now since my exciting travels and adventures and shenanigans with the dogs are totally finished, I've kind of been wandering around in a bit of a daze, totally lost for what to do next without a backlog of vlog footage to edit, projects to work on and little stories to tell/experiences to share! The small handful of people who were following along watched those videos voraciously, and have all expressed similar sentiments about being really sad that there will be no more vlogs, I just don't know how I can possibly continue spending 3 or 4 days editing them to only get a consistent couple hundred views (like your analogy about going to work over and over and over again and never ever getting a paycheck lol - for me, being monetized here on TH-cam it's like, working full-time for $50 a month which is sort of the same thing LOL). Anyway, I've been talking about it A LOT with Jesse over these past few days because he's noticed I've seemed really lost since getting home and finishing all THIRTY vlogs I shared this spring, summer and fall. We went for our daily walk together in the forest and our conversation was all about TH-cam and not giving up, no matter what. I feel so defeated - I mean, you saw my little announcement recently about not doing vlogs anymore because not enough people were watching and this isn't necessarily a side hustle or a fun hobby I do in my spare time. So anyway we just got back from that walk, I was feeling kinda bummed out and confused and lost and sad, I hopped in the shower and set up in front of a mirror to smooth out my hair (takes me freaking hours lol) so that I would be ready to hop on camera tomorrow to talk about a specific topic. I pulled up your channel of course, and just hit play on this video and was listening while doing my thing and smiled when you mentioned my name the first time but then almost started crying when you mentioned my name the second time and started talking about the ways that YOU see ME and the work I've put into my channel so far, too. I heard it right exactly when I needed to hear it, like God channeling a message to me through you - go figure 😉 Thank you for always inspiring me to never give up by continuing to show up on your channel sharing your story and journey so authentically and courageously. I feel like I am close to a breakthrough starting to show up a little differently than I have been so far. I am so proud of you and you have been such a special part of my TH-cam journey - probably the most special by far, and if for some messed up reason I make it to my death bed without ever finding "success", I will still be happy that I met you 💙

Have you thought about potentially doing a series of mental health paintings? That could be really cool to see how you visualize it. Keep going Tyler! You’re doing great!

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m so glad I found your channel, you inspire and make me feel so much better about my life choices. Keep going and I wish you nothing but the best 🥰💕

Thanks for sharing, I was mostly scared of scars but yours look rly good so I'm not afraid anymore. I hope your endo doesn't come back, fingers crossed 💪

❤❤❤

Love you!! I loved meeting you and will forever cherish this memory for life!! You have such a beautiful personality, and I hope you hold onto that forever!!

That was painted on my birthday 🩷 it's beautiful ✨

OMG! I love your art style!!

Its so pretty!❤

You don't want some epstein like character to "rescue" you either. Good luck

Keep your head up miss. You're awesome.

It's okay to have a rest day! We all need it sometimes. At the end of the day, you can't put your full everything into things if you're exhausted and burnt out 🫶 Going down the rabbit hole must run in the family, and it freaking sucks. As you told me earlier, your emotions are valid, and its okay to feel them! Im so happy you took the day to rest. ❤ you are 100% still giving it your all, even on the "rest" days, and you STILL HAVE two more months, and A LOT can happen in two months...look how far you've come already! I loves you 💗 I wish I could do half the things you can do. You're an amazing photographer. Your candles smell amazing. Your paintings all tell a story and have meaning behind them and they are all amazing. your jewelry is so unique and beautifully made. Your shirts are rocking. I have goosebumps. You are amazing and your name is gonna be big, I can feel it! ✨️ I think everyone judges no matter what, you could work the job they want you to work, and they'd still complain. You bust you a$$ every single day and keep doing it! Time to say tooodaloooo mutha fucka to all those people ✌️ Plan rest days for you. You deserve them! ❤ I wish I could hug you through the screen. I am sorry if I ever made a comment or suggestion that made your day worse. I know how hard you work at art and everything you do. I couldn't imagine being told to do something a certain way when that's not what im passionate about. 😕 being a business owner is so hard. I think people give suggestions thinking they are being helpful but dont know that they can actually hurt and do the opposite effect. I love you and your art and will continue to support you when I can 😊

Thank you for the reminder! ❤

Firstly I just want to say thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing this video. I can relate so much this video and I’m in such a similar situation. I quit my 9-5 after spending years getting the qualifications for it, but I was so burned out that I was not living just a zombie. The I’ve always had to work hard for everything in life was so real. I pray for your success and happiness 🥰❤️

That’s sweet Tyler!!!!! But should have named it Nazareth!!!!

Is there anything more corrosive to the sensitive artist soul than the impression of being willfully ignored? To share and get a lukewarm response is like talking to someone who’s staring at their phone, blandly nodding and saying “uh huh”every few seconds. I would say that it IS about the attention: when I post, I’m talking. My art is what I have to say. If I don’t feel heard, I’m going to stop bothering. This is one reason I admire you 💗 I know how awful it is to finally work up the courage to crack open your ribs and offer others a glimpse inside just to have it be scrolled past like an ad. (If it gets shown to others at all.) That perceived rejection knocks me back on my heel sometimes, so I know firsthand how strong you are for continuing at your pace. I won’t stop admiring you even if you need a break from posting as frequently. 🩵 When I’m feeling awful, I listen to music on my over-the-ear headphones and lay on my bed or my floor with my eyes closed. It really calms my anxiety. (I had to chance upon this ritual myself bc I also can’t afford to go to a therapist.) I listen to songs on repeat: sometimes “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” by Ashley McBryde and sometimes “Flowers” by Samantha Ebert and sometimes “Nobody’s Listening” by LP. Hopefully this isn’t qualifying as bad advice. And I know you filmed this video months ago so maybe things are different/better for you now. But I just wanted to share what helps me because from what you were saying in this video we go through a lot of the same struggles, so maybe this music can be medicine for you like it is for me.

4 minutes in from bed with the puggos and had to hit pause because my heart started a-flutterin’ hearing you talk about the whole comparison thing. This always feels so vulnerable to admit because we feel like we shouldn’t ever admit that we compare ourselves to others, but it’s so so so so hard not to! You know quite well that you and I are in the very same boat together, so I can relate to how you feel regarding your disappointment about things not turning out the way you had hoped in a very deep way. Like you, I started my vlogging journey with so much energy and optimism - you always hear people say well-meaning empowering things like, “share your story!” and then when you put the time, effort, energy, courage, bravery, and intense emotional labour into actually doing it, it’s so hard to feel as if nobody is listening, or that nobody cares. It’s so incredibly difficult seeing other people and other channels blow up to millions of subs with the stupidest content sometimes - I came across one just today in my “niche” that made me so mad I had to shut down my laptop! I also completely understand the exhaustion of putting on a positive face & attitude for the stuff we share online publicly with others when really, what people don’t see and the reality of it all can feel suffocating. I know how meaningful and significant your videos are Tyler. I know what it takes to film, edit, upload and publish them. I’ve been so close to giving up so many times because who on God’s green earth can keep doing this for nothing and what feels like nobody sometimes? How long can someone create off of hope and optimism before starting to wonder if they’ve been fed a lie about success being inevitable so long as we’re authentic and true to ourselves? Seems quite the opposite to me, lately. Anyway I’m really glad you ended up posting this video, I know you were second-guessing it but I’m so grateful that I get to listen. I also know that these emotions are 6-8 weeks old by now hahahaha so MY emotional responses to you are delayed and probably irrelevant now, but it obviously doesn’t mean that what you shared wasn’t real at the time. Back to watching ❤

Dear Tyler, I listened. And i thought about what i could write, that would be of any meaning or use for you. Not just some bla bla. And of course one of the first things that came to mind was to send you some bible verses, because they come from the ONLY ONE, that can truly help and encourage you. JESUS understands everything you are going through. HE held you in the past, in present times, in your exhaustion, and HE will always. And HE loves you so much. And if there is anyone who is really proud of you, it`s HIM! And please, if i might say so: rest! GOD will provide for everything! Let HIM do that! "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1,9 Another translation says: for the LORD your God is with you in all that you do. - I love this because if HE has commanded you to do a certain thing, HE sure will never let you go down. I hope these verses speak to you. ❤ And yes, i heard, that you dont want any advice, but i didn`t want to let this Video uncommented either. 🙂 Especially in a situation like that, and even we don`t know each other personally, I want to at least be someone who RESPONDS and says, “Hey, I’m here. And i hear you.” And most importantly: GOD is here for you and hears you. Even if things still don't go the way you want them to. Sending you much love from Germany! 💐🌹🌻

Sending you hugs my sweet girl xo This is Shelley using my other channel not my Little Kozy Korner channel. This channel has all of my subscriptions on it LOL I know it does take a long time to get to where you want to go. Leave it to God don't do the comparison thing, You are immensly talented and your art, jewellery, candles, clothes will take off. Give yourself a break it has not been that long and you are growing. Have you tried getting into facebook groups that have on line auctions and that kind of thing? I know that they are out there I just don't know how they work. I am an introvert and suffer as well from depression. I hear you, I see you and you are not alone. We as creators need to be there for each other and love on one another and support each other♥♥♥

hey hun, i can relate to so much of what you are going through.. thanks for sharing your vulnerable moments. hang in there. big astrological shifts are happening.. so hopefully this will be supportive energy for creatives and sensitives. ❤

Yes, God regularly speaks to me and tells me to do things

This is such a beautiful message. I’m so glad this video came up on my TH-cam. Thank you so much for this it was very much needed 🥰💕

I feel you dear it’s been 14 years since I’ve got see touch or hear my mom. The sting of that separation still hurts everyday. As I cry with you!!! But she taught me about God and Jesus and they walk with me and talk with me everyday. So you take your time with your health and cry all day if it helps. I’ll keep on praying for you and have a good day Tyler tot!!!!😜🤩. God bless!!!

this is a beautiful video

Morning beautiful 🤩

Minnesota native here! Thank you so much for this video. Comparison is the death of joy and I find myself looking to others my age that are married, have a house, and have kids. I don’t have those things, I am deciding to go back to school because I want to make a pivot in my career and I’ve never felt so sure of my pivot. This video brings me hope that I’m on the right path, my own path, and that I am on my way of where I belong. 🤍

I was just recommend this video by TH-cam after I went to a job interview, almost had a panic attack and realization washing over me that I am not able to work a regular job anymore. It scared the $hit out of me because how am I supposed to live if I can't have a regular job?? Just like you I am also running low on funds and I am super scared that I will end up h0mele$$ so I was thinking of accepting that job just because I have no other source of income but after I came home, saw this video I am actually not going to accept that job. I am going to try and make my dreams come true of working online and traveling the world. I have this strange feeling that I am actually going to be able to do it because I already don't feel like I will be in my country for much longer but I am super scared that I will run out of money and be in a terrible situation. Also I feel like I am getting a lot of signs to start online "business" because in my country right now there is not nearly as much workers as there are jobs so there is literally crazy amounts of jobs available but in the past (when there weren't many jobs available) when I would apply for 2,3 jobs all of them would call me and now I have applied to sooo many jobs and literally nobody is calling me or they straight up reject me which is super weird and has never happened before so I feel like my spirit guides are preventing me from getting a regular job, it feels like they are pushing me (forcing me) to start doing what I actually want and not what I am "supposed to do". Just like you said, everything always works out even in the last second...and that was true my whole life. It's always the last second that I am saved from a disaster. Thank you for this video, it really calmed me down so much and gave me such a massive dose of motivation I needed. I wish you nothing but the best ❤

Hey Tyler I like the dark bracelet with the chakra colors well done as always♥

I watch all of your videos and I love how creative you are and funny. I may not say anything all of the time but I do watch them♥

This one definitely spoke to me. Thank you for the pick me up ❤

In my twenties I felt the same pressure and I gave in to it. I had the things by age 30 to flaunt but it was not aligned and I was not happy. Now I'm in my fifties, and I am that rose you saw blooming in that garden! I started my TH-cam channel a few months ago and I'm transitioning from my career to what my passion really is.

:)

I loved this message. Thank you for sharing it!

You definitely spoke to me today - again. I often think it's too late to really get started. And... maybe it isn't. And sometimes having someone outside of your own brain telling you that makes a big difference. 🙂 Thank you. 🌹

so glad i found this video. thank you. i really needed to hear these words and really appreciate your perspective. gave me goosebumps. 💛 wishing you all of the future success in your art!!

Crazy how I’ve been discussing moving away from my hometown for college and my family has not supporting it at all. Really needed to see this thank you!🤍

Just fight through this winter. God has your financing next year in a cup flowing over😘

CAN OF COKE cola

It found me today. Thank you :) Good luck with your art

Thank you for this. I cried watching this. I didn't know I needed this blessing today of watching your video. Keep creating and doing what youre doing! 💓

I have 1 week left of day day job. I'm on a similar journey as yours. Philosophy is my passion. It's always encouraging when I see someone living out of the box. Occasionally I get a negative comment on my channel. A month ago I got a super bad one that really threw me for a loop. I'm back from it now but it took me awhile!

You’ll never hear more criticism and disdain than from people who’ve never done what you’re doing. Cowards are so ready to talk from their hidey hole. I like your videos, Tyler 🙂❤️💘

Thank you so much for the encouragement, love this video and your channel!!💛

You are amazing. Thank you so much for this. You words remind if this song by the jam, the lyrics. Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight Oh - don't live up to your given roles There's more inside you that you won't show But you keep it hidden just like everyone You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable So you wear that ghost around you for disguise But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known There's more inside you that you haven't shown So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat Just keep on walking down never ending streets One day you'll walk right out of this life And then you'll wonder why you didn't try To spread some loving all around Old fashioned causes like that still stand Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down How do you feel at the end of the day Just like you've walked over your own grave So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through

Ok wow, this video came up on my feed and I knew me and my cousin met you at the Canterbury craft show a couple years back. Small world - glad I stumbled upon your channel. My cousin is also a Bakken and she bought a shirt from you. I LOVE the jewelry you make, it’s incredibly beautiful!

It saddens me you dont get more views

Ice cream!😮i get my EBT tomorrow. Hi Tyler!😊
