- Growing up is scary. Things will change, like my relationship with my parents, family members will pass away, friends and I will drift apart, I’ll have to figure out this life thing on my own. But after all of that, I’m excited to be an older man who has experience lots of things - hurt and happiness - and has learnt and grown from that. Thank you for listening to my little ramble this evening. :P

Kovu Kingsrod this so good! 😊♥️
I rlly needed this. Thx for being you and an inspiration
~Connor
Thanks Kovu! And no, I think everyone loves ur chatty videos :) Have a great weekend you too
Bro I think I must come from Germany to Norroway to be your boredom killer, because when you come home you can do alot of stuff, to excample: playing games, go out with your dog but not nothing. Ride a D*ldo idk bro you need a soul and btw nice glasses and you need a haircut because um your hair grows slows over your eyes lol.
Have a lovely weekend too Kovu
You're so inspiring and watching your videos has helped me accept myself for who I am. Thank you so much!! ❤️
GUYS HE DIDN’T FORGET HIS PASSWORD YES
astark3 😂😂
32 secs into the video and I'm already screaming at how cute this boy is
There is a german song called "Keine Angst" and it says:
"Keine Angst, denn das was du jetzt bist, ist nicht, was du für immer sein wirst"
Translation:
"No fear, because what you are now is not what you'll be forever"
I think this is pretty calming.
Are you from Germany? Hey, me too :)

Those new glasses look good.
It really doesnt matter
Your voice sounds so deep.
: )
He look like 16-18. At that age, a deep voice is normal.
I was waiting for this because I was watching your Instagram story. Honestly your voice is so soothing and the stuff you talk about never usually makes me feel so relaxed but your voice is just so ahh😂😍How’s your day been then Kovu?? xx
Emma B ahh! That is such an amazing compliment, thank you so so much, I really appreciate that x my day has been pretty good, thanks! I had a little theatre performance at school which went really well :D How was yours?
Kovu Kingsrod Thank you so much for replying. My day was okay, we broke up for half term. So no school for two weeks. I got told I should be on my school netball team but I don’t think I’m that good,, please help x😂💗
I’m 42 and I certainly didn’t want to, and couldn’t imagine myself, married and being the daddy to a toddler when I was 17. That was not in my list of life goals then and, at the time, it wasn’t legally or biologically anything that could happen anyway. That said, now I’m in that position, although it did take a lot of consideration at the time of whether I wanted those things when the opportunity arose - I am very happy and content I am now in that position. An awful lot can change internally within yourself and externally in society between your youth and your ‘adult’ life. I think you just need to be open to the experience that every opportunity presents and decide, at the time it arises, if it is something that would suit you NOW, in the present, regardless of how your younger self would feel about it. I have had to wrestle with that over a number of things: careers, money decisions, work-life balance, relationships, children. Each one I would have rejected at different stages in my life for different reasons. Some you may end up regretting but you just need to know that you weighed it up at the time and you felt it wasn’t the right choice in that moment in your life. Then it’s easier to accept. You aren’t psychic, so you can’t always predict how something will work (or not work) for you, but you need to be able to trust your decision making process - just as you do for transition decisions and other choices in your life. My university decision was a bad decision - but at the time I was working with the knowledge and choices I had available, so you just have to try to make things work for you later to balance out a poor decision made for the right reasons. As for uni - spend the free time learning something - whether that is a language, experiences or musical instruments etc. It’s the only time in life you get that much flexibility to be able to create your own timetable! Even in my twenties when I was single and lonely I didn’t have the variable timetable to do different things at different times of the day, and that flexibility was a gift.
... wow. That's not a comment that is a short essay
Wow, yours is much longer than mine and mine was pretty long. Anyways, I completely get what your saying, I was fortunate enough to learn mistakes from my friends and classmates and not from myself. Now that I have more free time, I spend it learning how to play the guitar and watching cartoons and sleeping in. I'm blessed to have known what I wanted to do since I was a little girl and I understand that it will change. I'm 18 right now.
okay but this is amazing
That was perfect timing for Me, so thanks kovu
Love you ;) not in a creepy stalkerish way tho...
YAYY KOVU WITH GLASSES
Kovu, omg! Last week a girl was wearing a Lion King shirt and it reminded me of you!! Thanks for all that you do, I really appreciate you and your videos make me laugh, even when I am sad. Thanks again!!
I love how he always says that if you don't love the video that's ok too. It's so frickin adorable. Omfg kovu I love never go away please
My moms a teacher and she’s always tries to encourage her students and make sure they are pretty stress free. She always tries to be that “support network” you explained.
She had a new student morph into her class schedule. Her mom, clearly high, jumped into her classroom and screamed “do you teach stupid people math?”
My mom came home and cried for hours about this. It’s hard for her to know that kid she loves so much could go home to that. If people every think teachers don’t care that’s what caring is.
Covu you are simply saying EVERYTHIG in my head out loud. I've never seen a person who feel that exact way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I think I needed this a lot. I’m constantly thinking these same thoughts based around fear of growing up and it’s so much nicer actively knowing I’m not alone
If I could describe this video in one word, that word would be just relatable. I find it so comforting that someone who is around the same age as me, going through similar things as me truly exists, and I love hearing your thoughts. I, too, am worrying a little about Uni and I wanted to say that I totally relate and I am so so grateful that you shared those thoughts. :)
Kovu, I feel you on so many levels. I think soul Doppelgänger exist. Thank you for posting, you're definitely not alone feeling like you do. I feel like I could talk to you for hours.
This came like a blessing from heavens. I was literary worrying about the same thing this whole week. It's perfect timing, because on weekends there is more time to think. Well anyways, I just want to say the biggest thank you because as I started thinking about what you said, I actually got to really important discoveries about myself and the way I act. Since I am in a hard place right now, these discoveries are crucial to my sanity. :D So thank you, Kovu, soo soo much! Your videos have helped me so much, I don't know where I'd be without you.
I HAVEN’T WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS IN LIKE A YEAR, GAVE ME QUITE A SHOCK LOVE! WHAT A FINE GENTLEMAN YOU’VE BECOME!
Kovu you are too precious, you're my favorite TH-camr, as far as I can see!
Hei Kovu, your voice is so relaxed and I like it. Being an adolescent is difficult but don't worry, think about your future but with no anxiety. Soon you will know what you will do in your life. Good video and kiss from Italy (sorry for my English, I know that is bad!)
Your English isn't that bad!
@@luanosaurusrex Thank you! :)
In my opinion,you are already a person who is calm.
I watch your videos because of you seem so calm and you have a soothing voice.
You also don’t give teenager vibes.
Hey. I came out as genderfluid to my parents today. My mum is 100% accepting and is letting me get my hair cut soon. My dad says he accepts me but is refusing to let me change my hairstyle and told me if I do he will ground me and take away all privileges I have (phone, horse riding club, etc). On Monday my best friend is going to secretly take me to get it done and we aren’t going to tell him. Being punished a lot but being happy with how I look is much better than feeling suicidal and wanting to self harm again because I’m stuck looking feminine. Wish me luck! 😄 I’m also out to everyone around me now so yayyyyy :)
The World Is Ugly thank you so much! I came out as Bi in June so that kind of made it easier knowing they accepted that :) Tysm ❤️
The World Is Ugly ah good luck! :) x
I HAVENT WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WOW YOUR VOICE IS SO MUCH DEEPER!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!🖤🖤
If unable to sprint, run. if unable to run, walk. If unable to walk, crawl. Whatever happens, continue progressing forward. That’s what I tell myself when I get in that particular zone we each know well.
You know, I share many thoughts with you. Growing up and even to this day I allow myself to believe that I’m the only one that thinks like myself. But you remind me that isn’t true because you and I think alike. I admire your maturity and confidence in putting yourself out there. Haha, you don’t see me putting this kind of content on my channel, hell, I seldom say anything in the videos I put up. I can tell you’ve come a long way in your life, and I know for sure I have. That’s what really counts.
Awesome topic and reflections! You are so insightful and wise Kovu Kingsrod. You are already making such an impact on the world and have made such an impact on hundreds of thousands of subscribers lives! Here you are making an impact on my little life all the way down here 15000 km away in South Africa!
You are a great trans representative or advocate. Not only that but you are a great role model for so many people in so many ways. "Calm, wise and content!" You already have so much of that..in addition you have a vision and a purpose! That's a powerful combination. You are a great work in progress (& a great storyteller like your grandfather).
Trust yourself you wonderful man you! We never stop growing and learning. You can screw up, and angst, but you are more than enough!! You will always be gifted wth graciousness and humility. Any son or brother or father..I would want to have your qualities and gifts. Any human in fact. As a man those qualities and your insights are even more precious.
I loved your video! In response: When I grow up more I want to be super knowledgeable, more so than I am now. I want to have traveled and be okay with myself-with being alone. Have read many things, created and improved a lot with my art and storytelling. I'm very mature for an 18 year old due to trauma, but I still want to grow and feel healed more as I'm older. I want to be the opposite of what my parents were and be everything right and the opposite of what they did wrong. I want to help people on a daily basis and learn how to help myself.
I'm only 20 but tbf I'd rather hang out and chat with you than with most people my age (and even lots of people older than me too). You have valuable things to talk about
Everything will work out, trust me. It has for me, I'm in community college right now and I have a very relaxed schedule, but I have a set schedule. Having your own set schedule will actually help you. Your teachers might become your best friends later on in life and you will grow up to become a more mature version of who you are today if you want to be. No-one knows for sure what they want to do/be especially at our age. Don't be ashamed of being a teenager and you will become a calm content person if you let yourself be. Your perspective of having a family will probably change and highly unlikely that you will be alone when your older, unless you want it that way. Your life has a purpose and is only pointless if you make it that way. PS: All of what you said made sense and your adorable. Btw, I am not that much older than you, I'm 18 and I've learned this stuff over the last few years and my parents always told us about the not being able to do things and that they taught themselves how to cook and take care of themselves as adults, which you will learn later on. If you set your own goals, your life will become more meaningful to you. I have more free time now than ever and I spend it doing what I want, I learned how to play guitar, acouple different languages, how to dance, somewhat how to fight, learn how to drive, and watch cartoons. Also you just have to set your own time schedule especially for important events and due dates.
Kovu deserves more subs and views you’re too underrated (in my opinion)
Your voice has changed so much over the years... I'm so proud of you xx
I wish for you to archieve all of your life goals and to get everything you ever wanted because you are such a pure guy and you helped so many people through a lot of shit. I just wanted to say thank you and I wish you the best because you deserve it.
~Jelena
Kovu, I think you are amazing and you should just be yourself. I would love to be your friend and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Think positively, you are just right the way you are; no one is perfect:)
Kovu you are already wise , don't have to worry about it for the future.
Honestly, I'm 17 and when I get older, I just want to be happy. I don't wanna be content with life, and be stagnant. I wanna always grow from what I am. And I wanna appreciate and love nature more. Give nature the attention it deserves
Boi your voice got so deep!!!! I'm in love. Also the glasses look great. I'm currently struggling very very much with my gender Identity and you're such an inspiration to me
You are lovely! Live your best life kovu ! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Kovu I need help, have you got any advice for figuring out your gender identity I have been a girl my whole life so part of me is fine with it but the other half just wants to be a boy and live in peace, but what if I transition and that’s not what I want and then I stuff everything up
Also not related but I always think about how to work a washing machine...
I would wait a while as you dont haveee to transition and in a few years if you feel the same way then transition and thus its not like a mistake its honestly who you are
You didnt ask me however i just felt id give my opinion as its an important topic and i want to help
You may not even be trans. Have you looked into genderfludidity? You may fit in that category? Idk only you can know for sure and it may take time to find that out. It’s taken me my whole life
I say my whole life but I’m only 14 😂😂
I am 17 and I know after a few years I am FtM. I go by Davian. And I am looking into transitioning.
Only make these decisions with a trained therapist and team that you know are doing the right thing for uou
you can always just try living as a boy like changing the way you dress and style your hair and how people adress you etc. and wait on doing irreversible changes so you can figure it out and still go back without a problem if you realise it's not you
OMG KOVU YOU SOUND SO DIFFERENT FROM YOUR 100 WAYS TO COME OUT VIDEO
IM SO F*CKING PROUD AGH 😫👌💞
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has that relationship with an adult. But I learned so much from this and it makes me wonder what would your career be in the future? I want to still be a fun loving (weird) guy who kids can look up to, so I wanna stay how I am kinda. Much luck your way!
Such a good video. I love how you talk about these kind of subjects in a really mature way. Love your videos dude!!
You never stop growing up, Kovu!
I was watching your old videos, and then came here and i was like "wait who is this, wait, i didnt it was possible for kovu to get even more cuter!?"
oh my god, I relate to so many of these things! even when I just have nothing to do on my lunch break I get so worried that I have nothing to do!!
I feel like I'm so hyper aware of all the mistakes I make but I have no idea how to fix them, it makes me soo self conscious
You are just the best human ever, I love you!
I started studying some weeks ago and I was really worried that I would be alone. But believe me, it is so easy, even for introvert/shy persons like me, to find new people! I was really surprised, but it just happens somehow. I guess the reason is, that nearly everyone is new and alone and wants to get to know new people. Also you and the people that study the same thing as you already have something in common, that makes it a bit easier to find something to talk about. Oh and it can be helpful to run around wearing merch xD (I had so many conversations about Harry Potter, 'caus I am wearing a Potter-themed neckless ^-^)
Oof I love your deeper voice so much it sounds really smooth and rumbley and it’s handsome
Kovu I am a 56 year old heart surgeon in the U.S.. You will find that University is a far more accepting and welcoming place than high school. You may not see it yet but you will grow and mature a lot in the next 4 to 5 years. I have been following both of your channels. Your will find that your friends and your accepting circle will widen. Not only old ladies but you too will be less self conscious and more self confident as you have more successes in your life. You are already more self aware than most. Yes I do see you having a family and spouse and your desires will change I promise but yes that is not what you are thinking about. Yes love will come your way I promise but as you have said before self acceptance will come but I can assure you - YOU HAVE A GREAT REASON TO BE HERE! You will have a lot of things coming your way in the next few years that will be very exciting. Take advice from an old person relax a little and let it come cause there is so much a beautiful person like yourself has to offer to someone else. You will figure out eventually what you want to study but take some advice from someone that has had students for years open yourself to subjects that you never thought about and take a class like anthropology, geology, behavioral psychology,art history, architecture etc because something will interest you or excite you that you never thought of. I know one thing for sure and that is you are who you are for a reason and your here for a reason and half the fun of growing into adulthood is discovering things about yourself that you only find out as your mature into a young adult. Just my two cents for what its worth. I will continue to follow your journey with great interest!!
I relate to this so much. I have never been ready to grow up. I just turned 16 and I am terrified of the future. I don't know how I'm going to do it. I am just trying to appreciate being a young and a teenager in school. At least then when I'm an adult I will know that I didn't waste this part of my life and I enjoyed my time here
You are still young, you aren't going to know what you want to do with the rest of your life at 16. I know I didn't, it will take time. Don't be scared of the future though, it will all work out later on down the road, even a few years from now. Every teen/kid feels this way, at times I still do too. I'm 18 and in my first year of college and trying to figure out what I want to do in life.
Dear Kovu,
let me start with a saying: "things do not usually happen quite as one expects them to". And that´s a good news. I do understand that you are reflect who you will be in the future, but be aware who you are right now and where you come from is as important who you will become as what you do next.
From the little glimpse you share by this canal with us (thanks for that) I can say you are on the right way. Try not to worry to much about what ´s coming next, here and now is the right place to live your life, tomorrow is coming anyway! I know this are easy words to say and it could be unthinkable to accept but it´s reality.
By the way I asume Uni in Norway wound be much different from Germany. Yes you will have more choices and yes you will meet more people but in the end it is mostly quite structured and small groups form naturally and if an extraordinary introverted queer fellow like me found friends for life, you can do the same.
Oh, and yes I´m much older...
This is actually pretty relatable. I mean your a bit older than me, but I mean I now a freshmen in high school. And I’m finding my way through grades, friends, my gender, and my sexuality. So I mean I guess I understand. But I love your channel because I can always relate to it in one way or another.
woah...
i have been watching you for awhile and i’m completely in love with you... not important. i see your views completely. your voice has gotten so deep😍😍
i’m sorry i’m weird and do weird crap like but this but i love you the mostest
I LV UUUUUU!!! 💕💕💕💕
dude same. im terrified of growing up and i feel like my childhood is slipping through my fingers and ill be dead before i know it.
I'm 17 too, and thinking of my future definitely freaks me out. I don't even know what my future will be like, and I don't know if I can ever get to the point that I'm comfortable in this body. Nothing is easy for me, esp living in a lgbt unfriendly country. But I often remind myself that it's no use at all worrying about the things unknown. I really hope that my effort won't turn out to be vain.
I think we forget we're already growing up and things that we're scared of for the future aren't actually as scary when it happens
Kovu: I'm one of your 'older' followers. Every time I watch a video, like this, from you, I'm in a very contemplative mood. Sometimes I think you are a lot older and have great wisdom, I don't remember ever being like that at your age. Then I see the little kid in you as you end and say good bye. What is not to like about Kovu. You're a lot like me, so I can see myself in you. Mark.
6:30 Kovu, finding friends at uni was SO much easier for me than finding friends in school. I went into uni thinking I wouldn't make any friends cause it had been hard for me in school but people were so much nicer and they shared my interests and I found a great friend group and a couple of really close friends. (I'm in my 9th semester already now, I've had these friends for a while now)
Okay. I honestly love this video. It's just... I'm as old as you and I experience very much the same things (though I'm not as far as you yet, still hella confused about gender and kinda school-phobic) but the future thing. You're exactly saying the things that I feel and that is just... it's a good feeling to know that you're not the only one to struggle with these things, but also I'm desperately looking for a way out of this "what the hell how do I do future I don't want this". The problem is, I'm pretty anxious about school and I... ugh. I really don't want to start telling all my problems now, lol.
I just wanted to let you know that I very much love this video and I'm probably gonna watch it more than one time.
Also: I, too, want to help people (you call it work with people, but I just... really want to make a (good) difference, you know?) but the problem is, I'm really shy and not sociable and a living mess and I can't even talk properly when I'm nervous - which I always am, so....
Gosh, I just don't know and I'm so confused and now I'm in an existential crisis again. Yay.
What is this comment. I'm sorry.
The future will all work out and the older get, the more you might grow out of your shyness. I heard that when some people took certain jobs where they had to interact with others, they grew out of their shyness.
@@trinitylivingston1286 I really hope so, thanks :)
@@dontjayjayme yeah, I kind of grew out of my shyness/awkwardness. Still working on it.
Just started watching your videos again, your voice has gotten so deep :)
Your voice has changed a lot!! I love it 💖
kovu's house is my aesthetic
I'm also a bit scared of growing up. I'm very introverted and socially anxious. Latley I have been thinking a lot about how my social life will go. I have thought a lot about it latley and I have felt a bit unsafe and anxious. Thanks for talking about this. I don't feel as lonley anymore (-:
Hey, I really like your videos! Keep up the work! Løv ju
Love this video, Kovu. Looking good!
Wow You have grown since the last time I watched you!
I love you Kovu💕
I just love you. You have helped me through a lot. THANK YOU! 💕
Buen vídeo, sigue así, saludos desde México.✋💕
when I watch these videos I just want to have a conversation with you! anyways but yeah I get the structure thing, I need tasks to do, I think you're gonna do well. I have found this troubling during the summer but it can be great practice for the future. I wish you well. And there are so many activities in Uni I think you'll definitely find things to keep you busy. And growing up into an adult with more responsibilities and autonomy over my own life and how I function in society? terrifying but at the same time, I'm so very excited. I want to learn how to do taxes, I want to learn how to go grocery shopping and even I had to grow up really quickly because of certain circumstances, there's so much I haven't experienced yet. Also, I'm so psyched to start conversations that don't start with an adult talking down to me trying to teach me something, but then realize I'm "oh! so mature!" or "such an intelligent kid!" as if young adults can't have normal conversations with other adults with actual contributions to a conversation. I know I have a lot to learn, but we all do, every single one of us. and everyone and anyone can learn from someone else no matter their age. I look forward to learning, and that's what growing up is eh? as for growing old. I think I like the concept. I hope I get there one day and I bet you'll be a really cool old man as I hope I will be too! have a good day mate! (or night, whenever you're reading this I suppose)
7:48 same here, i hope the best for you!
Hey!!!
Thank you for doing these amazing videos. These videos really help me to understand myself better. I can just relate to you so much. How was your day?
Thank you for this thoughtful video.
Honestly being a trans male this related to me SO MUCH I hate the idea of growing up but I know it will happen one day and all I have to do is roll with the punches OMG love you so much kovu you get me thro the hardest times❤️
Thanks for the video. I'am so scared of growing up. I just distract myself with videos (because if i don't i have like existential crises) and hope all my worries will just fade away. I know that's not really the right way to deal with this but for the time it works. :T
I'm IN LOVE with your voice❤❤❤❤
I am the 100th like, not because of numbers being being even (well maybe a little bit) but I enjoyed this video👍🏼 i like when you upload you should do it more
I am also scared of not being good enough. Because I have really high expectations on myself. I want to move to England when I grow up and study "acting" or something like that. I know how hard it is to be succesful with that kind of Job but I am motivated and I'll stay positiv.
Kovu, please stop wishing your life away, remember once you get older you are old for a long time so live your life for now and enjoy your youth. 👍👍
Kovu your normal to feel the your thinking because you have morals like grown up does because you have a caring heart and you believe in yourself I am so proud of you and you are teaching people morals to live they need to do in life and you how you change or mold your body into and teach to others to make it in life and your not lonely to me ever because you you have a place in my heart always with me and you ever come visit where I live I would help you out anyway I can for you you are my Friend for life and me learning you and your country your from is cool where you live and you Kovu you are very wise to me for your age and I believe you always to and you will never lose me as a Friend and I am privilege to know you never change please who you are and you will have a family I feel but I want you to be treated with respect caring kindness and how your body is to its perfect in my eyes to and take care my Friend till your next video your Friend From Nashville Tennessee you can ask me any questions you want my heart is yours love Michael is my middle name
How is a 17 year old this wise? To think through the future and make plans already. I wish I was like that. I'm not an outgoing person either but I had a good group of friends in my 20s. We all connected through our shared love of the same bands. We were all emo, ha. We met online at first and met up at gigs. So my advice to you is to pick a favourite subject and try to meet people through that. Stay connected to LGBT groups and meet up at events. That is my plan and I'd be doing it now if it wasn't for my social anxiety. I'm sure you will still have your friends you have now.
You must be quite gifted, even the existentialism. It's common in gifted children to feel that way.
Kovu: an aspiring human
Who I want to be when I grow up: someone who inspires young people to be who they are and to do what they love, while doing what I love.
So for me I'm the same as in I don't see myself living with anyone as in a love interest. My sibling might live with me if they chose. But for the most part I just see myself and a beard dragon as my pet plus a few plants. also with kids I'm the same, if I do decide to have kids they are going to be adopted, (I made that decision when I was 10 yr old, years before I even knew I was trans) and teens. Because teens get less likely change of getting adopted because of there age. I moved back to my hometown and I'm know what career I'm going in. But I also know that my career and life paths and go through some detours or even change. I want to become and do so many things and it's up to me to make them happen. Life is hard, believe me I know. But for every person out there, you can become what and who you want to be. If you told me three years ago that I would be living in my own place and socializing with others, I would have thought you were a liar. because when your in that dark head space, you don't see past the present. You don't see a future but if you hold, just hold on, you can become the person you want to be. There is this quote that I love "Sometimes things don't get better, but YOU get STRONGER". Stay Strong and do things that make YOU HAPPY.
i very feel you.
You look and sound amazing omg

I have never related to something so much i swear. I only have a few more months until i’m offically an adult and I have no idea how i’m going to survive on my own plus i’m soo not outgoing so how i’m about to make friends by myself???? I don’t really know what I want to do I think i’m going to go into psychology maybe. I’ve never really been able to see the person i want to be when i’m older I just know I want to be happy and to finally get out of this fricking closet!!!
Anyway thanks for the vidoe you rock!
he's sooo cute!
just today one of my old classmates fromm primary school had a car crash and died. And i just don't know how to react to that, like we were not in the same school and didn't saw us for a year or so even though we live in the same town. I'm not really sad and that bothers me. I feel bad because i don't feel anything regarding him...but now i'm also overthinking like what am i doing with my life, just sitting at home, going to school and then? I have no clue what to do in the future. I don't see any realistic goal to archieve. i feel pointless too and I'm aware that my life can end at any time, it's just not in my hands.
I’m 17 as well and this is a topic that i also think about often. I feel like as i grow older i am expected to be more of certain things, like confident, independent and that sort of stuff, but i am a little bit scared because i feel like i haven’t accomplished much of that, what if i stay like this as an adult? There are a lot of things of things i want to be, similarly to you, wise and calm, but i feel depressed when i see that right now im not very strong in that sense:(
I am totally getting a shirt from the merchstore
Heyy kovu have you ever thought about reacting your old videos?
Sarah Hall I mean not that old,just old youtube videos
my life is one giant existential crisis
I am so scared to be lonely when I grow up because I am not a people person. I don't see myself getting married or having kids but I am not a Pet person either. I am not the person to have relationships (I am only 14 so maybe that'll come later) So I hope I will have some really good friends when I grow up but I am scared that that's not gonna hapen because I am not that outgoing or "brave" when it comes to talking to people.
But I also kinda like being alone; like going home alone; reading a book alone, just spend some time alone. I guess you could say: I like being alone but I don't like being lonely
I LOVE your glasses
Hes so cute!! °■°
I LOVE YOU
