I’ve enjoyed bingeing the audio of your content whilst cleaning the house this evening. I’m a new youtuber and have been mostly making shorts, good fun! Cheers for putting this out there.
This was the best video I’ve watched in a long time. I love how you kept it simple, idk if you’ve read the creative act but it felt like a more modern take on that. I really resonate with the spiritual component of making videos, but when you share your work in a commercial space where people kind of “play the game” it’s super difficult to not let what others are posting influence you. It’s this weird intersection of something so meaningful to you and so shallow to others, it’s kind of disillusioning. Again, super good video!
felt this! i've spent my whole life making excuses about why i shouldn't put my ideas into the world, and only recently overcome this barrier. great video as always
I have been procastinating my comment here because I want the words to be at the level of your videos. They didn't appear yet, but maybe telling you that can transmit how impactful is your work. I expect to watch you much more years!
I've had a 6-book series in my head since the start of 2023 but the scope of the project kept me from doing anything more than thinking about it. At the start of this year I began writing the first book, but I didn't expect myself to write it all in one week or even a month. I wrote anywhere from one sentence to one page a day, and I finished the first book of the series almost 3 months ago. It's not very good, the epitome of a rough draft, but it's a book that ive written and it's made me feel that the rest are possible
Landon, great video, I am so glad to have come across it and your words really resonated with me. I'm at a crossroads I'd love your help navigating. You see, for the past few months since my return from living abroad in New Zealand, I have been working towards the goal of returning to post-secondary in my mid 20s. I realized that the career I studied for right out of high school wasn't for me, and while living in Auckland I found a passion for the intersections of Community and Design. That is why I now wish to continue living abroad, but by also preparing for a future career, by going to study Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Melbourne. I feel passionate about this topic and want to put myself in a position to make a positive impact on the world by using my mind which is well suited for visualizing 3D spaces (I had originally studied as a 3D Environment Artist for Game Development). However, I have also been writing a book in a planned series within a world I have been building in my head from a young age. The true dream, I suppose, would be to be successful in the realm of creative writing and to become a published author. However, I also want to dedicate myself to a cause greater than myself and set myself up for an impactful career. While writing would be fulfilling on a certain level, it feels somewhat selfish, and there is less certainty that I will be in a position to generate a suitable income if I go that route. My hope was that I could continue chipping away at my book little by little as a hobby alongside my studies, but after your video it feels like it might be better to just go all in. I am inexplicably drawn to Melbourne, so if I went the writing route I'd probably do what I did in NZ and go to Melbourne/Australia on a Working Holiday Visa instead of studying there. The only problem is that while I am sure I could have a fulfilling life living in Australia in the same way I did in NZ, I found that without the kind of structure school provides I really struggle with getting work like my writing done. There is money to consider in both cases. As it stands I am fortunate to be in a position to afford a good chunk of school, or to live relatively well if I just work and travel in Aus. The money I'd spend on school would be an investment in further education and an actual degree, which I do not have, but I could get more bang for my buck in terms of life experience if I just went there to live and try to make my book work, but at the risk of having no prospects once my time in Aus ends. So that's where I am at. Sorry for the long comment, but I'd love your thoughts on what you think I should do. Both options give that excited feeling you talk about, but I haven't done a lot of the day to day work that comes with what I want to study, so I can't directly compare. It's possible that in the end I could find the work I'd do at school and in that career even more fulfilling than I do with writing, but I wouldn't be able to know until I make that leap. Basically it comes down to a short term or long term view. What would you recommend I do? Thanks for such a great video, keep doing what you do!
Recommend a 80/20 approach .. consider starting with the degree. Use the rhythm and momentum of school to keep writing alive as a side project. Once that 'side' project has proven it deserves 80% of your time as opposed to 20%, then adjust accordingly. -- like i say in this video, all that matters is that you choose something. let the inevitabilities follow as they may.
Bro, have u thought about becoming a therapist? You have the vibe and voice. So soothing. And i love ur thought process too. Definitely inspired me to go out and make my daydreams a reality. Thanks.
Articulated with clarity and depth. Videos like these articulate a gut feeling all creators have but refuse to aknowledge.
