      For me it's my forced isolation from my toxic and emotionally abusive mother. I never experienced what "hanging out" with friends felt like and actually "having fun". I'm always fearful and full of anxiety because of the toxicity all my life and because of that, I am socially awkward and don't know how to talk to people. People say that adult years are trash but for me now, and in my case, it's one of my brightest hopes

    • @daveforz
      @daveforz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Depression is rough, no denying that, but sometimes jumping in your car and driving somewhere new makes you forget it about it momentarily, and those memories you create give you moments to look back on when the days get rough.. I’ve only ‘lived on the road’ for weeks at a time. Not in a van, but in whatever car I had at the time (Corolla/Prius/etc). Those trips were definitely worth it for me. I think if every person experienced life on the road, the world would be a better place.
      Hope you take the jump into vanlife one day :)

      I think it may has something to do with her vibes. Her videos remind me of the stereotypical american-teenage-years settings, which were at the epicentre of my youth, as I grew up with american teenage movies (and games ex. life is strange). Those movies were all about freedom, love, ingenuity, growing up in a bubble and discovering new emotions. The reminiscence for something that never happened may be connected with the nostalgia for times that didn't actually exist anywhere except in your mind. And they are distant, non-tangible. Her music choice/videography helps with that.
      At least, that's me. I wonder where are you from.

    3:03 - 3:23 I had this exact same feeling the other day. I am four days away from finishing college and it crept up on me. I was sitting in my last lecture when I noticed that it was my last lecture as an undergraduate. Despite knowing that we don't have endless days we often treat life as such. I only notice "my last days" when they're happening, which I guess is still better than not noticing. During the last week I had my last time in the library, my last walk home from college, and I am about to submit my final assignment. It's a weird feeling. I'll probably move out soon so there are more “lasts” coming up and many that I’ve already had without realising. Of course I can do these things again in the future but as you've said it'll be different.

    I'm glad other people are going through the same thing as me. I relate to this so much since I'm graduating high school in a few weeks and I'm planing on doing a gap year next year. This is what feels right for me in this moment but I can't stop thinking about my teenage years and childhood and even though I have so many plans and I'm so exited for the future, I'm kinda scared of starting adulthood. I've never travelled on my own and it's something that I always wanted to do and I'm finally going to make it real, but having all these experiences that I've been wanting also means growing up and leaving home in a way. So I also have this bittersweet and nostalgic feeling, but I'm exited to see what the future holds :)

    Natalie, it is abundantly clear that you are wise beyond your years. The changes happening in these early days of your life may feel overwhelming and challenging, but they are merely marker-stones on your million-mile path. You have so far to go. You are only just beginning. I see the same wandering adventurer in you that I had in myself when I was 24. Nothing and nobody was ever going to stop me from seeing the world and exploring new places and new things. Cherish these days of your fleeting youth, because you will never again be as young as you are right now. Happy trails! :)

    I need to say it, I don't think any TH-cam video has giving me the same feeling as this series, especially this one in particular. Just.. All of it, it really hits the right places. - the edit, the vibe, the story. It's unreal, movielike.

    You really hit spot on with the talk about entering adulthood, every single word you said about the fears, bittersweet feeling and so on is so relatable. Im also leaving my hometown in about a month after my graduation, and im so scared. But hearing you talk about every feeling and thought, as well as having the courage to ’leave the nest’ at least gave me a new sense of strength to feel like it will be okey. Thank you

    I'm so glad you are posting new videos. I've stumbled upon your channel two months ago - with the van video. And then watched all the videos from the beginning. It's great to see how you've evolved from great to an amazing storyteller. But then... there was no new video for a while, and I've thought that van life simply consumed you. But here it is... a new video. Yay!
    I love your stories. And even though I can't relate that much... watching it makes me pause and reflect on my own life. Thank you for that.

    By they i love you that you are so open about mental health and life doubts and crisis, this something we all go thought many times in life, yet is very common to forget to talk about it and people rarely talks openly about this matters, thank for make people relate to you too in this aspect, even if its just a way for too process it, this can help many people out there.

I moved city 3 times during this time, every time changing people, flat (5 times), starting from begining with job. I went through pandemic, I am finishing degree and feel I have no one who nows me well, who went through hard times with me ( and I went through this with him/her) no one I can feel 100% comfortable with.

    This video from an artistic perspective is beautiful, and this is what the internet was made for. But watching this video really made me realize all the stuff i missed out on in my teens so far, seeing you with friends. I’m on my 3rd high school since starting high school and i haven’t made any friends. During this time i have had a long battle with mental health. But seeing this brought a smile to my face and I know its not all been bad. And when you think about it there is no traditional high school experience. Everyone has just a “high school experience”
