This video changed my entire life. I wrote my college essay on it (which got me accepted into every college I applied for) and countless other assignments. Before I watched this video I lived a very sheltered and uneventful life, addicted to my technology. That was 3 years ago. Now I make what I can with every day. I'm obsessed with nature and spend as much time outside as I can. I now consider myself an extrovert and I attribute that all to this video. I really hope the creator sees this and knows how much they have effected lives. I am forever grateful.
When my grandfather was dying, I had to go back home for a few days. I lived in a different state at the time. On my way home there was a candy store. My grandfather's last question he asked me was to bring him some jelly beans back to enjoy, since I was coming back a few days later. He died the next day, but I still passed the candy store. I called my mother while I was in front of the store, gathering my thoughts, and she said that at that time she and a room full of people had heard (and felt) something hit my mother, then the floor, loudly. They looked down, and it was a green jelly bean. My grandfather hadn't had any of those special sugar-free jelly beans he had loved for months. We're not sure where it came from, but I like to think it was a reminder from my grandfather that everything was okay, and to live my life well. Thanks for the video, Ze Frank.
I'm 68 years old. I have had many good days and some bad. Some decades were less meaningful than others. But what I have found is that my days becomes more precious with each passing day - not because I have fewer days left, but because I have (in many cases) learned from the mistakes of the past. I improve a little every day. I love people a little more every day. I love life a little more every day. And I keep working on my goals. So, yes I find this video very inspirational cause that last jelly bean should be really sweet no matter what color it is.
If I had one bean left I would probably do something I always wanted to do because it doesn’t matter if I die that day I’d be dead tomorrow and come out another womb ready to repeat the cycle of life. Wonder what porn in the future would be like... *cocks gun*
This is a great, deep, and philosophical video, but what we fail to realize is that everything we do in life should be cherished... time spent in school, being asleep, long drives, growing up, eating, drinking, preparing food, and even working. All of those moments is what makes our lives so unique (well maybe except for sleeping).

Guys this isn't depressing or sad. Most of the time you just spend living! Think about how much you love being in your bed! Yep that's how much you spend in it! How much do you love food? I don't mind eating my whole life! Nothing better than tv! Man, the new season is out, let's go watch it! See. It's not depressing, it's life, it's what you love and do everyday! Be happy, think positively!
@@aeizn1012 They've got a point. People like Gordon Ramsay aren't wasting jellybeans eating or preparing food, studying food and finding new ways to serve food. They're just living out their passion. Someone with zero experience can be as passionate as a master, it just depends how far you go and if you think it was worth your beans when you're done.
Because of this video I now do things that I love more often....such as going to the beach, sitting down and observing nature, and spending time with my family and friends. If I had never stumbles across this video, I might not be happier in life.....Thank You.
I've watched this video quite a few times now, and each time it's made me cry. The ending part "How much time have you spent worrying instead of doing something you love" means so much to me. For the past couple of years I've suffered with depression, and hearing that line makes me realise how silly I was getting hung up on things that don't really matter. No matter how bad things get, it'll always get better. Life's about learning, taking hits, falling down but then getting back up again. And that getting up again makes us a stronger person, and that's what truly counts
this honestly almost made me tear up. I am in control of my life. I spend just about every single day the way I choose. I'm happy. I didn't get choked up because I'm upset with how I'm spending my time. I'm just afraid for others and thankful somebody made a video of this nature. A huge part of my message and what I'm about is helping people realize this simple truth. Great video.
I revisit this periodically since I've first watched it, especially during those moments where I have to decide and resolve how to spend my life. Thank you, Frank.
I dont know if the creator will see this, I highly doubt it, but this isn't the first time I've come back to this video when having a rough time, in a sense it gives me hope, through all the stress and pain everyday life has, this is a reminder of a constant, in an ever changing world, there are things that everybody does, sleep, eat, travel in one way or another, whether it be to work or out of state, thank you zefrank, you've created memories and art
SithMasterpresents Um, you know that things that move you so much? Like for me, a little girl hugging me, or someone being really polite or nice to me? That feeling, so much that it makes me cry.
This video changed my life. And I mean that. Thank you. You've made me appreciate my time and turn my life around multiple times. My mother once told me, "If you ever feel like quitting, remember why you started." And sometimes I find it hard to remember the reason. When those times come I either think of or watch this video and it always keeps me going. It always reminds me that the little bit that I have left (I'll be 35 this year) can go toward so many better things than the sadness or grief that I am currently experiencing at those times. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. This is an amazing message and presentation.
I have already lived 4,355 days of my life and I am 12. I watched this and it has made me so inspired to do what I want to do and become the best person I can be. I was scrolling through youtube not doing my homework but I am glad I did, because it means I found this. I am going to go now and finish all my homework so that I can be the best person that I can possibly become. I am going to make sure that my part in our future generation is done well and that not everyone in this world will be totally screwed. I dream to bring up children of my own someday and teach them about things like this. I am excited for everyday that is to come in my future and I will use each day wisely.
it's my 4892 days tmr and I felt like I have never done anything in life and maybe never will be able to and maybe no one will even know this one comment exists just like no one will know or care that I live in this world maybe 500 years later ah but at least maybe most of u would be just like me so at least I'm not alone
How is adulthood. I've not been here long, and I already feel as though my childhood was far, far behind me, and that I wasted it being too much of an adult. I wish I could go back.
@@NearlyBatmanI was told as child that I was so grown up. It was said as praise. What they didn’t know, was I didn’t have the option to be child; I had to be grown up. I started working very young to get money for my mom to buy food, pay the electric bill. I had adult worries from my earliest memories. Now as an adult with children of my own, they are getting the childhood I would have loved. I get to be a part of their childhoods, and it’s FUN. I’m making up for what I didn’t get. 🎉
I want my 12 y/o enthusiasm back. I'm only 22, but years now of sleep deprivation, and and barely paying the bills despite pulling too much overtime has been grinding me down to a bitter husk. I'm almost out of the water. Almost out of that once good, now god forsaken plant. Almost got my mom to where she doesn't need my assistance. Almost got my truck back to reliable. Almost got my wage high enough. When I'm done with all that, I'll start living again.
I found this video at the right time about 2 years ago... I saw this video and it really made me think hard. I decided I was done spending hours on Facebook. That night I started getting on Facebook again. I spent about 3 minutes on it and remembered the video. I put my phone down and tried to go to sleep. About 5 minutes later, I forgot to set an alarm. I sat my alarm and without even processing the thoughts, I mindlessly opened the Facebook app and scrolled through Facebook for about an hour like an absolute drone. I couldn't remember what I had been doing for an hour. An hour absolutely gone. Over the last 2 years, I've been on Facebook for probably 5 hours total. I have devoted that time to doing something that I enjoyed... Working on cars, playing video games, going to the gym, and countless other things. Thank you to the creator of this video. You broke a BAD habit for me and I owe you big time. I appreciate you so much!
Michael Suarez you left this comment 2 years ago. What has happened in your life since then? What was your favorite memory from the last two years? What was your worst?
Does it matter? If you had one left and didn't know today would be no different than if you had 10,000. If you did know, you'd spend that time worrying about how to make the most of it. Then you would spend the last of your moments regretting that you didn't make good enough use of your time. Just be, my friend. And be glad you have time at all.
He means, He's spending time, eating jelly beans, next one.. He's EATING time, (get it? Cause of the video? :p he's killing jellybeans. Jellybeans = time xD )
.....this just made me feel extremely depressed and makes me feel like my life is worthless... if you'll excuse me, i will now go sit huddled in a corner and rock back and forth singing quietly to myself.
***** I remember this quote from some famous guy or other: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." Or something like that. If you had fun and possibly increased your gaming skills, then it hasn't been worthless. Besides, if you don't like the way your life is going with all the Let's Plays and video walkthroughs, you could decide to change it at any time! Taking up a hobby maybe? What I'm trying to say is that, no matter how many jelly beans we have left and no matter how we spend them, our lives are worth it and can always be turned around. Even when you think you're worthless, when you feel like a lost cause, there's always someone who cares enough about you to disagree and nudge you in the right direction. You're life is not worthless, so don't give up on yourself. :)
If it makes you feel any better, think of it this way: In the grand cosmic scheme of things, ALL human lives are "worthless," in the sense that nothing we do or don't do will have any lasting significance. The Earth will spin regardless of your feelings on the matter. And eventually, the sun will burn itself out whether we want it to or not. Even diamonds are not "forever," but caught in a slow (but never ending) state of decay, on a scale large and so immense we simply cannot perceive it. The Universe is indifferent to the cares or concerns of human beings--it always has been, and always will be. So worrying about having "wasted your life" is a pointless endeavor. ...holy sh*t now that I think of it, that's even more depressing. I apologize--I don't know what part of this was meant to be comforting, but it went the COMPLETE opposite direction. My apologies. Y_Y
I appreciate his time counting out the five hundred jellybeans + creating this video with the other guy shown in video. Thank you both. I was so close to crying the first time seeing this video. It is so authentic, I love it.
Dang it, I knew I didn't have much time in my life! - there goes another 2:45 seconds, plus the amount of time I spent writing this comment...well, at least I am happy no matter what it is I am doing. :) It's not about that time that is "wasted," it's about the quality of life we put into that amount of time. Forget about all of the things that we consider daily life and focus on your dreams. One day, you will get there. This is a great video!
I was sent this video by a friend about 5 years ago I want to say. And time after time I watch it maybe twice a year. I can’t say how much it means to me and I don’t know how to explain to myself anything anymore but when I watch it it makes me think about all the things that make me happy, friends, family, my cousin, my dog, and so much more greatness:)
I stumble across this sometimes. It never fails to make me cry. The idea of my death is so sad. I'm not afraid. Just utterly crushed. I don't want this life to end no matter how hard it is.
MY MAN, FRANK. I watched your vids when I was literally 12, now I'm 21... This video really opened my mind. Thank you for this. It just sucks I was too young to really understand it entirely. But I did a little. So amazing how good the content was back then.
I know this was posted years ago, so i'm late to the party. I see a lot of people saying this is depressing, and I can understand why, but look at it from a different angle. We spend the first part of our lives just growing up, learning how to be a person in our world and how to survive on our own. If we make it that far, we then spend so much time on what is necessary for modern survival and recharging (sleeping) that many don't think about other things. This is a way of showing just how precious our time is - make sure to make the most of those jelly beans doing something important to you that you love, even if it's just sitting somewhere enjoying a beautiful day. We are here to do more than work and consume. Be sure to do it.
Never throw away your beans. There's always always ALWAYS something you can do that will matter. Every day of every person is important, and it starts with you and today.
I'm only 12, and this really made me think, and made me realize that I shouldn't be on youtube and online all the time. Right after I post this comment, I'm going to go downstairs to my family. I'm almost a teenager, and then I'll be an adult, and now I realize that when I'm not a child anymore, I will miss it. Thank you zefrank1.
Imagine how many jellybeans were brutally taken away from some individuals, with all the wars, weapon manufacturing, crimes and greed... That would accumulate really fast...
same, xD.. if only i can get this pressure off my head.. so i can stare at a screen longer than 10 minutes.. you were sick so you'd know what i mean.. the dizzy head thing from moving. i don't like being sick Dx
If this is depressing then use that pain to motivate you to change instead of finding more excuses to keep wasting what few jelly beans you have left. Depression is the greatest teacher because it forces us to see ourselves for who we really are without the lies and delusions we tell ourselves.
what. im pretty sure depression teaches you to lie and delude yourself into thinking you're worthless. not some magical humbling journey. you may be describing the emotion "humiliation"
@@stevebean1234 that's what I was thinking too. If depression was a teacher.. it would be a horrible one. When you are depressed, you dont see yourself clearly.. it changes you and how you view everything around you. It lies and manipulates your thoughts... I think you are mistaking depression for general sadness. Depression is a mental illness... not a way of life.
Sanjid Anoy Don't be scared my friend, We all have to go threw it. Just try and live your life as how you wanna live it! do what you wanna do! Have fun.. Don't let others make you choose how you wan't to live. :)
Sanjid Anoy I know, but with life comes death. If you live your life to the fullest and try your best at everything you possibly can, you can die remotely happy. My granddad always said to me, "When you're scared about doing something, think about all the people who can't do it and do it for them." I live by that quote every day of my life :)
Sanjid Anoy dont let it scare you, let it motivate you to do what you think is important. I was shocked that we spend nearly as this much time grooming as we do helping others. After watching this video i will definitely change that
+Gandalf White Nope, I think she meant she does 92% of all the other things while being wasted and 20% of all her time she spends with friends most often while being on youtube and/or social media, often doing her homework that way and so on... the things she listed can happen at the same time ;)
+Ghetto SpaghettiOs cool, why? School is a waste, if this'd be my last month/year/week/second/day/whatever I wouldnt be at school at all! I would enjoy my life and I wouldnt be in this cage
Few people deserve what they have. This man deserves all the attention and fame he gets. Not all minds should be cherished, but let's be honest this is definitely one of them
I remember watching this in highschool. From 17 to 18 years old, I worked at a mcdonalds for 6 months and struggled to keep water and electricity in a house not under my name, and Hope's of college seemed gone. Road across the country in a grey hound to find where I belong in life. Worked at my uncle's business for a month then got out. Road to Kentucky to make sure the man my mother is going to live with is a good man. After the new years in kentucky and staying there for some time and realizing I've hit a crossroads, I joined the military. 4 and a half years later I comepleted my contract and now here in a couple months I'll be hiking for 6 months.
My college showed this thinking it will motivate my class, it didn't, in fact it made me become more depressed as it reminds me that death is a real thing and of course it would foolish to completely ignore it, but it's definitely more demotivating to have the fear of your current existence eventually being put to a screeching halt.
'GAMERS HAVE NO LIFES!', if gamers work from home, can do activitities with friend and family that they enjoy, and go on frequent trips and hikes, drink/eat healthy and get enough vitamins, gamers actually have a better life than the average person...
Wow 7yrs almost to the day (off by 3days). I try so hard to do as little as possible these days, somehow life gets in the way. I volunteer at a community transport service that get low income/elderly to medical appts or shopping ( I love it and everyone is so grateful for the service), I live with both my adult children so often do things like go shopping etc with either or both of them. While I do enjoy the 'things' I do, I still endeavour to do as little as I can.
Well, today I'm going to resolve to fart my lungs all over death when he tries to decrease my jellybean stash... because that is how a sea cucumber enthusiast do.

Almost got my wage high enough. When I'm done with all that, I'll start living again.
ill spend the rest of those jellybeans regenerating my cells through science and gaining another million jellybeans, BIATCH

I found this video at the right time about 2 years ago...
I saw this video and it really made me think hard. I decided I was done spending hours on Facebook. That night I started getting on Facebook again. I spent about 3 minutes on it and remembered the video. I put my phone down and tried to go to sleep. About 5 minutes later, I forgot to set an alarm. I sat my alarm and without even processing the thoughts, I mindlessly opened the Facebook app and scrolled through Facebook for about an hour like an absolute drone. I couldn't remember what I had been doing for an hour. An hour absolutely gone.
Over the last 2 years, I've been on Facebook for probably 5 hours total. I have devoted that time to doing something that I enjoyed... Working on cars, playing video games, going to the gym, and countless other things. Thank you to the creator of this video. You broke a BAD habit for me and I owe you big time. I appreciate you so much!
now I'm curious... I wonder how many jelly beans I have in my life NOW
Michael Suarez you left this comment 2 years ago. What has happened in your life since then? What was your favorite memory from the last two years? What was your worst?
Ryan not Brian If you asked me, the last 2 years have been the worst of my life :c
Does it matter? If you had one left and didn't know today would be no different than if you had 10,000. If you did know, you'd spend that time worrying about how to make the most of it. Then you would spend the last of your moments regretting that you didn't make good enough use of your time. Just be, my friend. And be glad you have time at all.
none, because your life isn't consisting of jelly beans
start counting to find out....
I ate a few jelly beans while watching this.. I am killing time while killing time.
That cant be possible!? Can it?
millercod5 What do you mean?
He means, He's spending time, eating jelly beans, next one.. He's EATING time, (get it? Cause of the video? :p he's killing jellybeans. Jellybeans = time xD )
Ikr *Mind Blows Too*
Valentines Day Mind Blown as well
.....this just made me feel extremely depressed and makes me feel like my life is worthless... if you'll excuse me, i will now go sit huddled in a corner and rock back and forth singing quietly to myself.
***** Oh wow. Now *I* feel kind of like wasted time... :\
***** I remember this quote from some famous guy or other: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." Or something like that. If you had fun and possibly increased your gaming skills, then it hasn't been worthless.
Besides, if you don't like the way your life is going with all the Let's Plays and video walkthroughs, you could decide to change it at any time! Taking up a hobby maybe?
What I'm trying to say is that, no matter how many jelly beans we have left and no matter how we spend them, our lives are worth it and can always be turned around. Even when you think you're worthless, when you feel like a lost cause, there's always someone who cares enough about you to disagree and nudge you in the right direction.
You're life is not worthless, so don't give up on yourself. :)
If it makes you feel any better, think of it this way:
In the grand cosmic scheme of things, ALL human lives are "worthless," in the sense that nothing we do or don't do will have any lasting significance. The Earth will spin regardless of your feelings on the matter. And eventually, the sun will burn itself out whether we want it to or not. Even diamonds are not "forever," but caught in a slow (but never ending) state of decay, on a scale large and so immense we simply cannot perceive it. The Universe is indifferent to the cares or concerns of human beings--it always has been, and always will be. So worrying about having "wasted your life" is a pointless endeavor.
...holy sh*t now that I think of it, that's even more depressing. I apologize--I don't know what part of this was meant to be comforting, but it went the COMPLETE opposite direction.
My apologies. Y_Y
.... WAHHHHHH MY LIFE IS WORTHLEEESSSSSS
dkamouflage ... Wow. What? Thank you for that inspiring speech. Um, at least you tried? 8/
I really don't know how to respond to that.
Watching those videos back, I actually miss content like that. This is really deep, man. I love it.
This is why you should devote your work and as much of your time as possible to doing something you love.
Eye Opener for sure !!!
Hi😂⛽️💕💪💯💯
him: what are you gonna do today?
me: oh, you know, go to school, be bored, fail a formative, you know, the usual.
yeahh..
kuningaskosmos It was a joke, but okay
I appreciate his time counting out the five hundred jellybeans + creating this video with the other guy shown in video. Thank you both. I was so close to crying the first time seeing this video. It is so authentic, I love it.
I love this!
Yeah, it's really touch my heart....
Dang it, I knew I didn't have much time in my life! - there goes another 2:45 seconds, plus the amount of time I spent writing this comment...well, at least I am happy no matter what it is I am doing. :) It's not about that time that is "wasted," it's about the quality of life we put into that amount of time. Forget about all of the things that we consider daily life and focus on your dreams. One day, you will get there. This is a great video!
This is somewhat depressing, the voice makes it even better.
I was sent this video by a friend about 5 years ago I want to say. And time after time I watch it maybe twice a year. I can’t say how much it means to me and I don’t know how to explain to myself anything anymore but when I watch it it makes me think about all the things that make me happy, friends, family, my cousin, my dog, and so much more greatness:)
Absolutely love this.
Now the question is. Who will eat all those jelly beans? :D
***** me
God bless you
did this video make anyone else cry? life is too special... be thankful to have it.
They are jelly beans, not life. Take it easy :o
I stumble across this sometimes. It never fails to make me cry. The idea of my death is so sad. I'm not afraid. Just utterly crushed. I don't want this life to end no matter how hard it is.
Even after so many years...I come back here when I get so, so low. It gives me the reminder i needed, the smallest push. Thank ypu
We'll spend 730 days playing World of Warcraft.
Not since the devs changed it to be much easier XP
i spent almost exactly a 365 days playing wow myself lol
Suicidal 30something clash of clan
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Wastes too much time on world of tanks
One of the best videos I have seen in MY ENTIRE LIFE
I agree
i agree too!
mee to
ikr
Oh my... This video is amazing. ♥♥♥
MY MAN, FRANK. I watched your vids when I was literally 12, now I'm 21... This video really opened my mind. Thank you for this. It just sucks I was too young to really understand it entirely. But I did a little. So amazing how good the content was back then.
I love this video, I watch it every time I'm feeling overwhelmed and in need of a sense of perspective
Moral of the story....Don't waste jellybeans...
I know right ^_^
lol
cheer up buddy that's what I was saying ...stay blessed
no. the moral might be... your days are numbered. Use them.
dumb joke
I would eat all those jellybeans! xD
lol
Wanna barf?
At least your life would be short and sweet, if you know what I mean.
Goba Woffa haha I get it
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :O
I know this was posted years ago, so i'm late to the party. I see a lot of people saying this is depressing, and I can understand why, but look at it from a different angle. We spend the first part of our lives just growing up, learning how to be a person in our world and how to survive on our own. If we make it that far, we then spend so much time on what is necessary for modern survival and recharging (sleeping) that many don't think about other things. This is a way of showing just how precious our time is - make sure to make the most of those jelly beans doing something important to you that you love, even if it's just sitting somewhere enjoying a beautiful day. We are here to do more than work and consume. Be sure to do it.
This video makes me feel awful, it makes me realize that i'm wasting my life. Makes me want to throw away the rest of my jellybeans.
Never throw away your beans. There's always always ALWAYS something you can do that will matter. Every day of every person is important, and it starts with you and today.
+ToastyPop I'm wasting my jellybeans! Better throw them away... Just, check the logic in that. Sunk cost, look it up.
+ToastyPop i want your beans
what will I do with the last of those jellybeans eat it of course
+Keyon G this is a serious message you know.
Thanks Devin Graham for enlightening and also depressing the shit out of my day.
That's deep man....real deep
thats what she said
XD Kinda why I said it :P
Beautiful. People can take from it as they see fit. This is the entire point. Thank you for this.
I'm only 12, and this really made me think, and made me realize that I shouldn't be on youtube and online all the time. Right after I post this comment, I'm going to go downstairs to my family. I'm almost a teenager, and then I'll be an adult, and now I realize that when I'm not a child anymore, I will miss it. Thank you zefrank1.
JellyBeans have never been so deep.
Always remember, time you enjoyed wasting isn’t wasted time.
Fact
This is one of the most profound videos on the internet
"What are you going to do today?"
I don't know, but I want to eat all those damn jelly beans!
Imagine how many jellybeans were brutally taken away from some individuals, with all the wars, weapon manufacturing, crimes and greed... That would accumulate really fast...
I'm glad this was made.
I don't think this was meant to be depressing, but damn...
It inspires and scares me shitless
Today I will play Pokemon!
same, xD.. if only i can get this pressure off my head.. so i can stare at a screen longer than 10 minutes.. you were sick so you'd know what i mean.. the dizzy head thing from moving. i don't like being sick Dx
But protoooo there's so many other video games
Proto! I didn't expect to see you here!
ProtoMario why not legend of zelda?
ThePotatoDude why not fallout 3
What are you gonna do today?
Me: watch purina and sad cat diary videos because zefrank lmao
lol
I'd buy more jellybeans, problem solved.
Effie Gabrielle Blakely im gonna go to the strip club Lol
gg
these videos you make seriously makes you think
at the end of each video my brain is wow'd
That is SOOO Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing it!!
If this is depressing then use that pain to motivate you to change instead of finding more excuses to keep wasting what few jelly beans you have left. Depression is the greatest teacher because it forces us to see ourselves for who we really are without the lies and delusions we tell ourselves.
what. im pretty sure depression teaches you to lie and delude yourself into thinking you're worthless. not some magical humbling journey. you may be describing the emotion "humiliation"
@@stevebean1234 that's what I was thinking too. If depression was a teacher.. it would be a horrible one. When you are depressed, you dont see yourself clearly.. it changes you and how you view everything around you. It lies and manipulates your thoughts...
I think you are mistaking depression for general sadness. Depression is a mental illness... not a way of life.
this scares me a little...
._. same.
Sanjid Anoy Don't be scared my friend, We all have to go threw it. Just try and live your life as how you wanna live it! do what you wanna do! Have fun.. Don't let others make you choose how you wan't to live. :)
Sanjid Anoy I know, but with life comes death. If you live your life to the fullest and try your best at everything you possibly can, you can die remotely happy. My granddad always said to me, "When you're scared about doing something, think about all the people who can't do it and do it for them." I live by that quote every day of my life :)
Sanjid Anoy Are you happy? if yes then you're doing something right. If not then try to fix it.
Sanjid Anoy dont let it scare you, let it motivate you to do what you think is important. I was shocked that we spend nearly as this much time grooming as we do helping others. After watching this video i will definitely change that
If you spend your time doing what you love & enjoy no matter what it is, it’s time not wasted. Don’t forget that 😊❤️
This was so powerful to see and actually brought me to tears. Thank you for putting things in perspective. I will be sharing this with those I love.
"What am I gonna do today?"
I don't know, maybe make a TH-cam video reminding everyone of their shrinking existence.
60% food
70% movies/youtube
89% social media
45% school/work
20% spending time with loved ones
92% wasted...
+Gandalf White Nope, I think she meant she does 92% of all the other things while being wasted and 20% of all her time she spends with friends most often while being on youtube and/or social media, often doing her homework that way and so on... the things she listed can happen at the same time ;)
+ᗯᎬNᎠY ᑕᎾᎡᎠᏌᎡᎾY i have no loved one so yeah i am forever alone xD
Totally loved this. Thanks
Thank you. Simply beautiful.
I love how half of your videos are deep and thought-provoking, and others are like the song for Dr. Freud.
this video makes me sad.
Anyone else get chills at the very end?
This video is in my favourites list for many years. I have revisited it many times. Thank you. I hope you are well.
What are you gonna do today?
Me: eat all those jelly beans
diabetes son.

Mas Hasbi be fat, have diabeteas, but live fdat and happier than most people, or be envious with how many jelly beans they have...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😃😃😃😃😂

+Ghetto SpaghettiOs cool, why? School is a waste, if this'd be my last month/year/week/second/day/whatever I wouldnt be at school at all! I would enjoy my life and I wouldnt be in this cage
same
Edmer Evandro guess you have a really cool teacher
Damn your awesome voice, it made this video so much more impactful.
I come back to watch this video all the time. Thank you for making this video.
Now I feel depressed :(
I feel depressed too, lets hug
+Amelia Doherty well he did leave out a lot of the first jelly beans ;)
+NerdFluffington725 wait, s*** i'm 12 i only have 3 years left... NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO
LOL Life is not short, whoever said that is lying. Besides Life is as long as it gets...
TheGaming Professor s words of wisdom
Few people deserve what they have. This man deserves all the attention and fame he gets. Not all minds should be cherished, but let's be honest this is definitely one of them
This video has inspired me to stop my random youtube video streak because fudge man, I don't even know why.
I remember watching this in highschool.
From 17 to 18 years old, I worked at a mcdonalds for 6 months and struggled to keep water and electricity in a house not under my name, and Hope's of college seemed gone.
Road across the country in a grey hound to find where I belong in life. Worked at my uncle's business for a month then got out. Road to Kentucky to make sure the man my mother is going to live with is a good man.
After the new years in kentucky and staying there for some time and realizing I've hit a crossroads, I joined the military.
4 and a half years later I comepleted my contract and now here in a couple months I'll be hiking for 6 months.
hmmm...looks like i drifted from buzzfeed to you
too much suuuurrrrfffiiinnnggg
same.
meh 2
lol me too
same
My college showed this thinking it will motivate my class, it didn't, in fact it made me become more depressed as it reminds me that death is a real thing and of course it would foolish to completely ignore it, but it's definitely more demotivating to have the fear of your current existence eventually being put to a screeching halt.
Same my Educ professor showed this to us
We got showed on first day of secondary
'GAMERS HAVE NO LIFES!', if gamers work from home, can do activitities with friend and family that they enjoy, and go on frequent trips and hikes, drink/eat healthy and get enough vitamins, gamers actually have a better life than the average person...
Wow 7yrs almost to the day (off by 3days). I try so hard to do as little as possible these days, somehow life gets in the way. I volunteer at a community transport service that get low income/elderly to medical appts or shopping ( I love it and everyone is so grateful for the service), I live with both my adult children so often do things like go shopping etc with either or both of them. While I do enjoy the 'things' I do, I still endeavour to do as little as I can.
Well, today I'm going to resolve to fart my lungs all over death when he tries to decrease my jellybean stash... because that is how a sea cucumber enthusiast do.
every day you should make sure to laugh and try to make someone else laugh. If you do this then there is no possible way you have wasted any days :)
Life is too short for playing with jelly beans.
I had to watch this for a class and i cried for about an hour after watching this. thanks ms sommer!
