I do find a sort of comfort in consequentiality too, though we may die, and new things may come and take our places, an impact has certainly been left. I feel that will always continue to be the case. What you did happened, what you're doing is happening, and whatever you do will happen. That does not define you, but it is a part. That's why you're here now.
This is a great perspective, I think. I accept freely thar I will not live forever, but if I can leave behind things to help people, both alive and when I'm in the ground, I think that's a worthy goal
This was a really thoughtful video, thanks for making and sharing it dude. A new perspective for me while touching on very relatable topics. Makes me feel connected with all the other people on this planet going through their own journeys and seasons (or currently stagnant, hahah)
Your videos are a breath of fresh air man. The future is unpredictable and knowing that there will be an end is both sad and oddly freeing. Awesome work as always dude!
I think a lot about the end of things too, because I think meditating on those things can liberate you in the present moment and give you clarity in life. I'm young and in good health, but I can die at any moment. You never know. But, I still find myself living as if I have all the time in the world, and getting hung up on bullshit. I'm still trying to figure out what I even want out of life, and feeling like I'm not getting any closer to an answer. Thank you for making this video. It reminds me that there are people out there who feel the same why I do, and that my struggles aren't unique. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Hey, thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, I've found that the only way for me, personally, to avoid getting hung up on nonsense is to pack my days with as much crap as I can, just bc, then it's like, I literally have no time to worry about nonsense. It's stressful, but it's better than the opposite of being stressed when having nothing to do. But still, in spite of my best efforts, there are still times when I get hung on things I shouldn't be. I think that's just part of being imperfect humans, I suppose. I've had to learn to forgive myself over wasting my time, and it's hard, but I'm doing better, I think But thanks man, I hope you find what you're looking for too and wish you the best
I am absolutely in one of those points where I'm "making do," and it really helps to just hear someone put it in words outside my head. Your uploads strike a chord far more often than they reasonably should, but I appreciate your take as always. 🥰
Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I think it always help to realize you're not the only one going through something, so I'm wishing you the best, man!
It sounds like you’ve been going through it recently. If it is of any comfort, I recognise a lot of your thoughts as being similar to my own. Thank you for struggling through and sharing your thoughts with us! Recently I’ve been wondering about what a “good life” is. Maybe it’s my own life experience talking, but I’m veering into the “any life can be considered worthwhile as long as you have a will to live” conclusion. Lots of ways of life are possible after all, so who would I be to deny anyone finding meaning in their lives just because it doesn't resonate with me? We’re not all going to work jobs we like, have the love or friends we always wanted… But does that mean we have to consider our lives failures if they don’t work out how we wanted them to in the end? Maybe that secret 5th thing is developing a good relationship with yourself? After all, no matter where you are, there YOU are. You can always count on that, at the very least, despite any failures or changes that happen in life. You can be the most (only?) stable thing in your own life, despite everything. That’s another solution to the problem of uncertainty, I guess. Though I’m not sure I like it all that much to be honest. I also relate to that feeling of staying up at night wondering if “the way things are” is something to be accepted as part of the “season” of life that you’re in or something you need to push against. People moving onto to stages of life without you can make you feel stuck, so it’s understandable why decay can feel worrying. After all, if you have nothing to look forward to in life with any certainty, what differentiates that from waiting around to die? It can be a scary thought, but since you brought up Persona I thought I’d add one of my own reflections playing that game: It’s really hard to waste time in that game! Almost every action, even things we might not exactly consider as productive (e.g. watching movies, playing video games) all contribute towards a stat or something. Unfortunately we don’t have a UI to tell us what our efforts are going towards in life, but maybe the same way of thinking can apply? So long as you find purpose in your actions, then maybe you’re still growing and you can’t see it yet. And just in case it benefits you in any way, I sometimes ask myself this question to help guide me when I’ve over-thought a situation to death and I’m stuck on what to do: If pain and failure was inevitable, what would still be worth doing?
This was a beautiful comment. Thank you for leaving it. I don't think of things in exactly those terms "is I knew I was going to fail, would it still be worth doing?" but I have realized that regardless of the outcome, any effort is absolutely a win. Like, if I submit an application, then whether or not it's accepted or rejected literally doesn't matter, because I did what I could and that is 100% a win to be proud of. I want to make a video going more into this idea, because I've thought a bunch about it lately. And about the Persona comment, I've come to realize something similar, that me reading Silent Hill 2 analysis and watching video essays at 15 wasn't wasting, seeing as how I'm doing this lol. You never know what things will come in handy, and also, you never know who you'll connect with over something, whether it be a shared interest, hobbies, music tastes, etc. Life is weird, impossible to predict, and things come together in neat ways And I think that a good life comes in many forms, but really, I think if you've tried to act decisively, and have tried to live in a good way that helps others, then I feel like that's a decent life. Thank you again!
@@noahmcalister Thank you for your kindness towards me. That is an enviable attitude to have - I wonder if you don’t have many regrets, then? Or is it more something to aspire to? To just focus on the fact you made an effort alone and you did your best, I mean. It sounds like 15-year-old you would have been proud of you! Life is certainly… an experience. Seasons come and go, as you said. But they are also cyclical - sometimes things you thought were long gone come back to you; just not always how you expect them to. I hope so, at least.
Yeah, at this point, I honestly can say I don't have too many regrets. Like, there are things I find regrettable, like I wish I could've done something to make something happen differently, but mostly I can say there aren't too many regrets I have, and I think it's just bc of that, bc I knew I did the best I could in certain situations. But also, I've realized that it hurts more than helps typically, if I dwell on things and beat myself up. I've realized that self-forgiveness goes a long way in helping yourself to do your best. It's hard, but again, I think the effort means more than the outcome (which is a strange concept, I think) And I agree, life is cyclical and things come back. There's an LCD Soundsystem song that says that "Love is an astronaut/ It comes back but it's never the same," and I think you can say that about most things tbh Thank again for your thoughts!
Yeah, I struggle with depression and I'm doing better than once did, so part of that has been seeking help, and part of it has been just striving to occupy my time with good things. Bc I've found that doing things helps me feel better and feels like I'm working towards a good future, but I have some thoughts rolling around, so I'll make a vid about this idea in the coming weeks. Hope things get better and wishing you the best

Hey bro, thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
My man out here consistently dropping banger videos.

Thank you again (again). I will have to check out that song sometime. :}
Good video, very uplifting. Subscribed, looking forward to more.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
My gosh how did i miss this
Hey, thank you for the super thanks! I've never gotten one of these before lol, so thanks for that
Also same i mean just saying im depressed is cringe. But if im not working or with friends its been bad.
Yeah, I struggle with depression and I'm doing better than once did, so part of that has been seeking help, and part of it has been just striving to occupy my time with good things. Bc I've found that doing things helps me feel better and feels like I'm working towards a good future, but I have some thoughts rolling around, so I'll make a vid about this idea in the coming weeks.

10 seconds in. Nice shirt, great band
Yeah dude, love this band. Thought it was a fitting shirt to wear for this video lol
