I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like my grandpa.
I don't want to die screaming and panicking, like the passengers in his car.
Your comment made me laugh pretty hard. I'm surprised no one has commented
hope you suffer
+Collin Huggins Actually.... I've heard it's not as peaceful as it sounds. Although, if you die screaming, you might not feel it, because your body would be in so much shock.
Ateeb Ali I laughed because it sounded like he was joking. If it really happened, then it's sad
+Collin Huggins If I died after reading this comment I would have died laughing. XDDD
The only thing that scares me about dying is that some people I care about won't know I'll be dead.
same
same
Do you mean they wont care that you have died? Because I'm sure the people you care about will be told immediately if you were on verge of death or if you have died, and it doesn't matter where or how you die. Just be you and really show that you care about the people around you and live a happy life! That's what truly matters in the end!
+Andy Nguyen I meant that my loved ones won't know I'm dead.
Jarrett Wattenburger Well then I'm not sure what you mean. Unless your in some type of situation where you'll be apart from loved ones or maybe you're alone constantly then it might take some time for someone to find out but they'll know as soon as you discovered dead. And well if you are in a situation like that just keep in touch every once in a while. Call or visit every so often and show that you love them. And it doesn't really matter if they know you're gone, just be the best person you can be to them and to you.
The one thing that scares me most about death, is not existing anymore..... not feeling, not breathing...... I sometimes think about what it was like before I was born.... Like I didn't exist, but how does not existing feel.... It scares me so much......
I think the same way as you. My bf says it is amazing to just be relieved and not have to go to heaven or smthg (we are atheists). Eternal life would be bad because we would just keep living in some way with some type of consciousness. But I am scared because I don't know what will happen. That is the thing- it's nothing! What is nothing though? Like you said "not existing feels like what?"!?
We just cease to be, but that means we won't have our comforts like our home, people around us who love us, and even those material things we hold sentimental value to, etc. Again though, all that doesn't matter because supposedly life is larger than us- humans- because we are a small part in the universe.
ahh I think about that all the time.
***** I appreciate your words and thoughts, and I understand how you are thinking. Yet, you are not understanding what I said before (trying to put it nicely as possible here lol).
I know I hold on to material things. That was my point. We are so used to our creature comforts and just everything in our lives. When we die they are ALL not there; this is not just material things but family, friends, and logic/thinking, etc.
That is what scares me. Like I said it all ceases to be.
You were saying why would I deny myself the chance to be the real me or own my true self? You are thinking too spiritually and religiously. My whole point in this discussion is to rely that science doesn't allow for that kind of stuff so it doesn't exist. I don't want to step on toes or anything by discussing religion, but like I said I am an atheist and if you look at real factual evidence, you don't just become something higher when you die. You just die. And that is what I am afraid of- just ceasing to be.
It has no feeling and u can only see pure black and it feels like youre in a comma. I know cause I kinda remember how it was when i wasnt born yet.
omg same
This video changed the way I see life... 😳
+Abdullaa M yeah
+TheSimcraftFixion I have this catharsis feeling after the video.
I know right
+Claudette Perretti yeah your right
so true😔
I was expecting the "I wish I'd traveled more".
***** same here
Master Explorer I think that kinda ties in with experiencing life and following your dreams
Master Explorer agreed. i thought at least it was on the list
Master Explorer a Buddhist monk was once asked to go to america to demonstrate his incredible meditation and he said " why would i get on a plane and travel hundreds of miles to get to where i already am"
Brent Smith Deep
In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take.
preach it...
preach it...
Or regret the consequences from chances you took
+FiggleShiggle what consequences could one have, that don't kill you, that last more than a couple weeks?
+Nick Johnson Killing someone?
It is physically impossible for me to work hard. So there's one thing I won't regret.
I can't do that either. I'm also a chronic procrastinator...
Goutham You can always regret that you didn't work hard enough to achieve your goals.
Goutham >insert bigotry
I did the math. He's right, it's physically impossible.
Kat Lover I'll probably regret that I didn't try to achieve my dreams. However I won't regret me knowing my limits. My dream is to be a video game designer but I don't have the memory to remember all the programing and editing work involved. I know that my dream is beyond what I'm capable of so I'm not going to bother trying to pursue it.
I really enjoyed this video! I was diagnosed with leukemia 7 months ago and had to confront the possibility that I could die. I'm almost done with chemo now and things are looking good but it has been really scary to have to confront death. I can definitely speak for the importance of family and friends, my boyfriend and my family were pretty much all I thought about for a while. Now, my approach to life is completely changed; there is so much to do and enjoy! I wouldn't say that I now have this insatiable drive to do everything but it has made me appreciate the things that I have and the opportunities that I have now. I feel like I'm getting the same life but that it's better because I'm living in the present instead of always worrying about what's going to happen in the future. Find your passions and the things that make you happy and pursue them :)
Stay Strong (: xx
Lunosmt Smile more! :D
Lunosmt I might just cry.

Your story is beautiful
I wish I hadn't been such an asshole.
Me too lol
Elise Haltrich ha same
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs
Who came here from AsapScience's video?
me
Who didn't...
+Gavin Postich 😂
meh

My dad passed away on the 11th and we buried him this morning. I decided to get on TH-cam to put my thoughts towards something else. When I saw this video I knew I had to watch. I love you dad and I hope you don't have any regrets.
I'm so sorry for your lost.
Thank you. My mom passed away in 2008 and now my dad both from cancer
Craig Donovan Stay strong man. I wish you good luck.
Craig Donovan Damn cancer, no one deserves to die because of it. I'm sorry for your loss
Craig Donovan I'm sorry for your loss.
the first one hit me hard... really hard
Yeah that's why I just act like my weird self to everyone
+RanMay me too
+Alicia Duus same
I'm working really hard to not gibe a single one, and just care how i feel
The problem is I grow thinking i was an egoist, and the fear of rejection.
M best tip is to find someone to talk to. That you can say anything to. That might help
No matter how you live your life you will always regret not doing more
Veto2090 true
Man sacrifices his life in order to make money
then sacrifices money to recuperate his health
And then he is so anxious about future that he does not enjoy the present, the result being that he does not live in the future or the present he lives as if he is never going to die and then dies having never really lived
-Dalai Lama
I think death should be a relief. You don't have to deal with things anymore, good, bad, or whatever.
It'll be a relief for me when it finally happens...
But its gonna be forever you'll get that relief and then you will be wishing for things to worry abou
+YoBoiMcMickey 2008 well when I'm dead I won't be alive any more
Unless you go to hell instead of heaven, if you end up going to hell, it will be a lot worst
Doesn't exist.
This video is living proof, that you should be true to yourself, and live an authentic life, by your own terms, and stop giving two f***s,what others think!.
depends. i was raised to never care about what others thought of me. i have lived an amazingly happy life, even when i was making minimum wage money.
"I wish I had lived long enough to have scientists upload my brain into a computer to live forever"
I think that's very optimistic. More like 10-20 years
Ye, though the science may not be workable or safe enough for the public for a while most likely.
guys stop talking about these things like they're easy as 1,2,3..
The only solution to eternal life is the prevention of "aging" by cells.
Humans and most animals are biologically designed to die. We are working though, on a way to prevent this ticking timebomb, by studying rejuvenating animals like lobsters, and if possible, GM'ing our DNA with their likes.... Umm idk just guys most of base pairs like C, T, A ,G and triplet code are kinda unknown, just idk omfg..
would you ever know if it worked properly though. how would you know that what you are in the computer is what you were in life. how would scientist be able to tell if it's really you in there and that they didn't miss any important parts or even worse delete parts of you on purpose. trapped for eternity in the computer
glados is that u
I don't fear death because I have life insurance.
if only it worked that way...
+Mr. Cow yeah I don't have a job...
because you switched to geico?
thank fuck for this comment that made me laugh and buried me out of my pit of misery whilst thinking about death
"I wish I devoted more time to memes."
sameeee
ha!
Oh yes!
shit, this made me really sad
I'm saying;-;
I'm not scared to die, I'm not depressed but I will welcome closure
I would regret not clearing my search history before i die

In Portugal we have an old expression : "quem tem vergonha passa mal"
It translates to something like : "the ones who are ashamed of doing something end up feeling bad with themselves" and thus you should live with courage.
+ThE IVIacHiine I'm sorry to say this:
My best friend accidentally flooded Portugal on his map by colouring it a bluish-purple.
I had no part in it.
"If that person can not accept or deal with what we feel, it's probably not a healthy relationship."
Well... that person happens to be my mom and dad.
You are not obligated to love your mother or family.
Although I agree with everything said, I don't think that there is a single person who could safely say "I don't regret about anything, I got everything right".
Me? I don't regret anything lol, obviously I didn't get everything spot on.. so clearly I have temporarily regreted things.. but we're talking about in the long term when you look back and things you really wish you could change because they still affect you in some way or it's a memeory you wish you didn't have and so on.. I don't have anything like that and nothing on the list is something I regret. which makes me glad.
+EnellGmz DONALD TRUMP!
lol my regret before dying, dying
Why is there an "L. O. L." on there? Did you really laugh or are you just overusing it like the rest of the internet?
+Ender Sheeper why is it importaint
+Ender Sheeper why does it even matter? does help fall asleep at night .."lol"
+Ender Sheeper I laughed
+Ender Sheeper lol should be replaced with kol, kind of laughed
"To the organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
Hah, sigh. Oh Dumbeldore, you'll always be in my heart. R.I.P.
Fear is the biggest barrier for happiness, be brave and you will be happy
This is a really positive topic to talk/think about. Good job.
I wish I had lived a life true to myself and not what others expect.
I wish I didnt work so hard
I wish I had the courage to express my feelings
I wish I stayed in touch with my friends
I wish that I had let myself be happier
+Justine Javellana i wish i lived in a more volatile time.
is it strange that i wanna live some 1000 years ago just so i could've been a warrior? i tried joining the army but they said no, i failed the personality test...
+Bart De Bock The life expectancy was much lower back then. Illnesses were often uncurable. And there are many other reasons why you don't want to live back then.
On the other hand, there were much less responsibilities, laws etc.
You could do a simple job for your whole life and weren't forced to learn all the stuff we get at school. And honestly, the more you know, the less you can let your thoughts flow. Maybe you could be happier in that time period. Though as a warrior you are very likely going to die quickly.
+Bart De Bock me too i just wanna be out of the technology time like 1400 years ago
+NubeBuster well some people
DONT GIVE A SH*T about illnesses and stuff that happened then they just dont like today and want to be (the second regret) with friends FACE TO FACE
but hey maybe he just wants to have fun playing with a sword (Cuz so do i)
Thank you
Looking back on life... I wish I hadn't been so stupid.
this shit is depressing, ive been anything besides happy for a year now
Find some weed, find a nice comfortable place where you can be yourself, smoke reflect and relize
+Dino Z bad idea
+Dino Z weed won't solve problems they will still be there
Emmanuel Ayala Weed will give you realizations about your life, honestly probly the best herb for self discovery and then you can act on your flaws and make your self a better person
+Dino Z nope
That first one really hit me hard. I'm 24 years old, so I have the time to change things up, but I lack courage.
+Samsul Hoque I'm still young, but i think it becomes easier if you just stop caring so much about certain things. Try to gauge if stuff you worry about will matter in the next five or ten years, and you'll see most of it is just trivial. After all, we're all going to die and it won't matter in the end
+Samsul Hoque -- I believe in you Sam
I'm the youngest member of my family, and the thing that used to scare me the most about was having to let go of everyone I love before myself, eventually being all alone, and never being able to see those I care about ever again or let them know how my life is going while they're not there.
Me, too! I one had a night mare that everyone in my family slowly and painfully died, and I woke up completely normal. I cried for a while, just rocking back and forth on y bed. Then I went and told my mum a detailed story of it and she and i hung out and talked
Needless to say, I love m mum
ok ima stop rambling now XD
Hey, I got a question (a sciencey one)
Why do we find other animals "cute"? Because, from an evolutionary perspective, it does not seem logical to me at all. You wouldn't want to kill a cute animal for food. You'd feed it, protect it, effectively endagering yourself and putting yourself at a disadvantage.
undercoverduck That's one thing I never endeerstood. Most babies (the logical thing to find cute) are pretty meh to me. Puppies, I friggin melt. dafuq?
I think they might have done a video on this already
***** for real? I'll check it out soon enough, thanks :)
***** Yes, but what if we do not like human babies?
undercoverduck You actually pretty much answered your own question.
They're cute so you'd want to take care of and protect them.
Now, what is usually cute?
Babies.
Baby animals are cute because it gives adult animals another reason to want to care for and protect them. So it actually makes a lot of evolutionary sense.
That being said, some animals look cute to us even when they're adults, and it often has to do with the animals head to body ratio.
Babies have relatively large heads for their bodies. This makes many animals with relatively large heads for their bodies also look a bit cuter. Even if they aren't babies.
*I regret playing league of legends*
1 of my teenage years totally wasted
actually according to some girl on ted talks playing games is not something anyone regrets.
+jet100a agreed, people just want to make you feel guilty playing games
+Ahmad Ba'agil No, I played COD for 2 years straight. Literally 12 hours a day. I regret that wasted time so much. In the moment I loved games. It was my life. Now I really regret not going out and seeing the world sooner. You can regret playing video games, and someone talking at a TED event isn't going to change how the real world works.

+David Meyers why did you regret it? the experience and enjoyment you get while playing games shouldnt be regretted.
it's like someone traveling the world and later regret that decision.
you should accept your past and move on, you should accept that at that time you enjoy the game and now you don't think playing game beneficial.
even if you regret it, would your old self accept a suggestion to not play game and do something else?
don't deny the experiences that you got when playing game back then.
I don't mean to be contrary, but as an aspiring physicist, I feel like work is the imprint you leave behind. I think I will say, "I wish I worked more on _______." We waste a lot of time in our youth on flakey relationships with random people. Now we have the world at our fingertips and can interact with like-minded people around the globe. I think most people would like to die knowing they've left a positive mark as their legacy. It's failing to sate that urge that leads to regret. So, live it up, while the livins e z. All the people in the dance will agree: dance to the rythym, it gets harder.
You make a number of interesting points. At a more basic level, there are people in this world who think they are on this world to "make a difference", "make their mark" or "leave a legacy". At the other end of the spectrum there are those that want to "leave no trace" and "do no harm". Where each individual falls on the spectrum is usually determined by the value systems of their parents and the culture they were immersed in as a child. The book cited makes it clear that "most people" are not remotely interested in leaving a legacy.
Since the opinions expressed were from individuals born from early to mid last century, we can't even blame the narcissistic younger generations for it. Old people, with a solid work ethic and strong belief in family as well as religion, finally were able to be true to themselves and reveal what really mattered - and ultimately it *wasn't* fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities of family, work, culture, citizenship, or religion. It was honesty, openness, experiences, and relationships.
If hindsight is 20/20 maybe we can all learn from that?
Agreed. I feel like the other people are the ones who regret not having children and such, without realizing your life can make a difference without having a brood.
Although I think it's quite relative what's a mark and a difference and what's not. After all, even Einstein or Hitler as well as their legacies will be forgotten eventually, it just takes longer, right? Except if there's an afterlife or sth (aaaalso provided you and everyne else remember their past lives)
No point in crying over spilled milk.
I wish I bought Apple when it was $1
Mitch please sleep. You look tired.
Anyways it was an amazing video by both you guys.
The reason a lot of people aren't happy in the first place is because of our corrupt government system... We work and work and work and then in the end we are still in debt and stressing out.
Now I know why government terrorist attacks exist..
i do not know… for me happiness becomes hard thing to feel when i am thinking about how many people suffers… how many people are victim of crime(murdering, rape, robbery), how many people is hungry and thirsty. when i think about how many bad and wrong things i have done(we all do many bad things), i am thinking: do i really deserve happiness? i know i regretted every single bad thing i have done and i am trying to do better but still, am i good enough to deserve happiness?
oh jesus christ, people make their decisions and do what they wanna do, you aren't forced to do monotonous cubicle work and stay in a little box for the rest of your life. By the way, if you're successful from the hard work, you probably won't be in debt.
I've been a week sober now without drugs or alcohol, this makes me want to stay on the path that I've chosen and continue to pursue the change I've made.
+Ricky Verduzco Good luck, bro)))
You can do it!!
Good! I believe in you!
That's really great. Good luck to you :)
Posted on my birthday...... Thanks
happy bday
Happy birthday!!!!!!
the world doesnt care
Happy Birthday!
Honestly, this video fucked me up. Like, now trying to figure out how the hell to live my life and what I even want (hint: I have no clue what so ever).
I realized in my late 30's that a "bucket list" shouldn't wait until the end of ones life. Compiled an every growing list and have checked a couple off every year.
I have panic attacks when I think about the abyss that awaits me and how it will all end someday
You can't be happy when your being judge all the time that's why people don't ack like themselves
true
Then maybe you're not around the right people. I learned that if you're better alone than with some people then they should not be in your life.
In my other school, I was judged by so many people. I wasn't really liked by most kids. I had my friends, but the other 80% of my class wasn't particularly friendly to me. If I ever made a mistake of did something embarrassing, I never got away clean. But, I never let that stop me from being me. I always made sure I was happy no matter how it made me look. Basically, I was happy. And since I was happy, I didn't care what other people thought of me.
Tillytom Jones j
Iron Raven u only get depress over stuff like that if u let it get to u. The more u think on positivity it won't bother u. Just stay strong. School is where dumb and stupid kids are cuz of so much freedom hey got nothing to do but to judge and hate on kids in their spare time. Just hate and keep ur mind on awesome things u wanna do in the future and it won't bother u. Trust me.
I wish I had heard this 26yrs ago... I have so many regrets.. now that I'm older and sick I can't go back and recapture most of the things I wish I could
+Joe Burroughs While you don't have control over the past, you DO have control over TODAY. Get out there and OWN IT! Don't let the present pass away because you were too busy living in the past. The world is yours - now, do what YOU want with it. *You* are in control. Always. :)
+Joe Burroughs But you're not dead yet, you can still be true to your heart and try to live the life you've always wanted, now.
You've still got time
+Joe Burroughs rip in price
This just changed my life: Remember the last thing u said to someone, that may be the last thing they hear from u
+_NoName_ yeah, that's rough tough to think about.
When i think about it i want to tell my family and friends that i love them but things will become awkward for probably no reason, especially for friends
Pretty sure money allows you to have relationships easier... A lot of relationships are way harder because of lack of money.
Trust me I know I'm super broke..
Same :(
Relationships with women, especially. But in that case, who wants to be in a relationship (friend or SO) with someone that only gave you a chance when you had money? What happens when you lose it?
RKO1988 Sure but im not talking about that.
Its just easier to relax after a fight when you can go on a trip together or do other activities that require money.
Also a lot of couples fight about money as well.
Yeah it can give you relationships, but how close or well founded are they, I'm probably more poor than you, all you need is real love and honesty for any relationship to be good. If it's not working out than its not real love or honesty
I can't agree more lol. It's like, would you rather be crying in a luxurious hotel or be cryin out in the streets?
when I die I just want my kids to know they were the best thing that ever happened to me and to live free and never look back!
+bob ob
thanks bro!
+Nickolas Flores i read this comment over and over until i had to lie down on my bed and almost cry
To be honest, I want to die while driving, but I want it to happen instantly. Driving is of of the things I love the most and it is also the only thing that could kill me. I do not want to know when Im going to die. That scares me the most. Knowing when I will die. I am 19 now and I am pretty happy with my life. I have no reason at all to end my life myself. But if it has to end soon, then I am okay with it and want it to happen when I do something I love :)
Animiles driving... when your death could mean hurting or killing other people too. Or at best causing a huge scene that weighs on those who find and work on you and costs time and money to clean up. And a violent end for those left behind.
KnightRaymund the way you say that makes me think that you think that I'd do it on purpose.. I'd never do that. I have no reason to. And there are also accidents where only 1 person is involved. I also want to let people know that I prefer to die in my car, so if it happens they have peace with it more quickly. I just want to die while I do what I love, and gaming or messing around with computer hardware is anything but dangerous. Off course I hope that my death does not hurt people that I do not know.
I want to die flying in a fighter jet strafe bombing isis ground targets
Ok? Driving...cool
Simon Riley Well that was really... specific
If my death doesn't involve a Porsche, two explosions and a epic hardcour parkour chase, I'm gonna be dissapointed.
Really liked this. I feel like there is a lot more to life than just getting old and dying. If you don't take time out to pursue your dreams to make yourself happy, are you really living? Everyone needs to take a leap of faith once in a while. You never know what you can accomplish until you try.
Wow, for some reason, I thought "I wish I'd traveled more" would be one.
+bcrew1375 Maybe that's included in the "following your dreams" part
I'm literally crying because of this video. Really puts things in perspective...or maybe I'm just hormonal (lol)... but still makes me want to stop worrying so much about what others think. I could be soooo much more carefree if I freed myself from that unnecessary stress. And not to mention the never ending worry over finances. At the end, money has gotta be the most trivial thing possible, I'd imagine. AWESOME VIDEO guys!!
I just love the topics of your videos,Greg and Mitch!Your analysis is so approachable to any person and interesting!Keep up the good work!Greetings from Greece!!!
The thing that scares me about death is the fact you're just dead... forever. That doesn't seem too bad until you realise how long 'forever' is.
It's like turning off the tv for billions and billions of years never again turning on...
Think of it like this..... you're dead........yes you will be dead forever but you won't be aware of it. You're thinking that once you die it's just going to be like a black screen that you're going to stare at forever. You won't even notice you're dead because........well...........you're dead.
+Sparky5599 this is really difficult to wrap my head around. I guess its like an inky black void with no sensory input or thoughts, but since there are no sensory inputs or thoughts, you aren't aware of it. You just.... stop existing, I guess. Its kinda scary. I'm atheist but honestly id rather have any fate from any religion instead of this. I dont really care if I am reincarnated into a hawk or something, forced to make out with the flying spaghetti monster, or sent to that endless paradise in the sky and gorge down doughnuts with Homer Simpson after that cartoon finally dies too.
actually, you would still be alive in spirit form but you'd be tortured and burned in hell for all your crimes for all eternity. Fortunately only those who are good and sinless can go to Heaven or be purified in purgatory. thank God we have the Rosary
+Lanafanafififopeper like, are you trolling? dumbass.
Damn people were dying and you guys asked how they felt when they were dying
+xIpyschoIx The dudes a palliative care nurse, psychological support for the terminally ill is part of his job. I highly doubt anyone was actually on their death bed when talking about this stuff.
but what if they were?
+Furdonkulous why does it matter? its not a bad thing to ask people who are dying about this, cause they probably wanted to express these feelings before passing on
good point :D
This is something i realised when i was at the age of 20-21.
I looked back at how i acted the past few years and what i regretted about that, and the main thing was not being able to be myself around people because i was afraid of their perception.
I changed this and started living how i wanted to live and trying to be as happy as i can be.
The definition of happiness differs from person to person, for me it's being able to play and talk to my friends (online games/teamspeak), going out for a drink or a smoke, trying to be financialy stable with doing as little as possible, living on my own and always being myself. I managed to fullfill three of these goals already and am now trying to find a way for the other one.
Once I achieved this I don't know what other goals might pop up but i'll try to do them as i go along in life.
For if one does not live for happiness, one is already dead inside.
I hope all of you can fullfill your goals for happiness and have a good life, good luck!
Funny how money is a constant concern during our life, but matters so little in the end...Thank you for this video.
The first one really screams out to me.
I had to live a life where people expect great things out from me, because I have a high IQ, great logical sense, great academic scores especially in the science field and all that kind of jazz. But y'know, despite all that, I'm not happy about my situation. I lived a life where I have to keep up to people's expectations. I'll be a great asset to the science field... except I don't really want to.
On one hand I am actually capable of going for Pharmacy. I understand the lessons, the tasks, everything. But deep down I don't have the motivation to actually proceed with what I was doing. In the end, I constantly ran away from my problems, creating a facade of my true self, unable to face head on 'cause I just don't want to.
I just dropped out of Pharmacy a couple of weeks ago, and my parents have given me permission to attempt for the major I know is much more truer to my heart. Right now, I don't have to pull up the cheerful facade I've been putting on for the past year anymore. This means I'll have to restart college tho, having to attend at the same time as my younger brother, as well as having to deal with the shame from everyone else. But hey, if this is what my heart tells me to do, then I'm okay.
+IllusioneTempus just do it milotic i trust you :)
Reminds me of myself slightly, except I want to do sciences. What major are you taking? Sorry if it sounds like I'm being nosy.
The modesty is off the charts on this one LOL
The arrogance is strong with this one.
+IllusioneTempus I was not expected to complete pharmacy at school, but I was also expected to be "greater" than where I am right now. And for that, I can sympathize with you. I have the same trouble opening up to friends or family about how much it affects my mindset going forward in life, my experience being proud of what I do, etc. I don't judge anyone for what they pursue in life but we all judge ourselves quite harshly from time to time. The expectation is what gives us a guilt trip and makes us feel like we are more than what we are doing. I don't have a superiority complex, I have deep seeded shame and guilt because of what I hear and how I'm treated at home when I go to sleep at night and wake up the next day. It's hard when other people are pounding this idea into your head. But of course, like some of these comments have proven, we have to keep it to ourselves because not everyone can comprehend a "pity party for someone who says they are above who they actually are" It's also a common example of actions speak louder than words to anyone who doesn't know what you go through. I get it. I understand both sides.
Wait, did I leave the stove on?
Only a 3min video but a lifetime of thought to be had from this one.
Great video guys, loved it.
SUBSCRIBED ✌❤️
Halfway through i paused sent messages to different people and now i feel amazing, thank you
This is depressing, thanks for uploading though!:)
Why so?
This may actually help with getting to set your priorities
I really needed this video today. Thanks for doing it, made a difference.
Love this! A very good reminder of what's important.
My issue is my family and i do not have a lot of money, and i went to school miserable every single day as my mum wanted me to, but it was one of the worst waves of depression in my life, and then IMMEDIATELY after with no break i was rushed into college, yet again, just to keep my mum happy as shoe chose it for me and council tax and all this stuff, and then now, i have experiencing a very very bad wave of depression again that has been lasting for a few months and seems to be getting worse, then i also have some personal issues that also seem to be getting worse, but the thing is, my mum is trying to rush me into a job due to the council tax and stuff, but my counsellor, teachers, friends, and myself have all said to her how, if i do not take a break once college is done, i am screwed, and with some of the personal issues, there are A LOT of jobs i physically cannot do, or would do after one day and feel so shitty and insecure and worthless, that i could never go back and it would bring me down like no other for months!
And my mum is not being understanding of this at all and is still rushing me into things, well trying to anyway, but I'm just sick of it now, like, i will do something due to the council tax and not being homeless myself or making my family homeless, but then, all my life so far has been lived for my mum, and i have been fucking depressed while doing it, so now, i want to live life for me! The only two things i did for myself were see a counsellor, and stay at my work experience for almost 2 years longer than i meant to and that was a dog barn, both of these places made me feel a happiness i thought i lost!
Has anyone else ever had a nap soo good it made you feel that if you had died in your sleep, it wouldn't be soo bad?
+J. E. When i fall asleep outside in the part sun/part shade ground under a tree on a warm day, yes
+J. E. I've heard drug users describe a state during a trip where they assumed that they were full on dead, does that count?
This made me really glad, like I'm doing the right thing and this is where I want to be in life. I work enough to get by and spend most of my energy on my family so I feel really validated by this video. Thanks!
Happiness is not always a choice. There are a lot of internal and external factors that can make happiness an option that's sometimes simply not available. And seeing "just let yourself be happy" really makes me feel even worse, as I'm someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, and for the most part I simply can't.
This is an excellent & thought-provoking video, BUT there may be a little issue here... this list is essentially people saying what they wish they did while knowing they don't actually have to follow up on it. It's similar to any of us right now saying, "I really wish I was in shape," but then still not doing any exercise. I'm not saying the list isn't helpful or good, but just that there are sometimes consequences & legit reasons why we do or don't do things and to keep this in mind when deciding what you really want.
existential crisis inbound
The phandom is everywhere.
+AmberNicole Steylen There's not a site we haven't invaded tbh
***** lmao who r u?
***** so I can't value my own life and watch vlog channels??
me too
This is a really awesome video and I love you two lots! The inspiration that's gyrating around this video is unbelievable and I just wanted to say thank you
this is so amazing to hear, most of these we already know, but its hard to step back and try to accomplish them since life really does push you forward and time and situations are responsible for this things to happen, because they make you blind, its crucial to stop and realize that you're living and moving through time. thanks for reminding us.
They remind me of Mitch and Scott
Like if Scott was older and if Mitch was straight.
Me too
+Liza Bailey oh sorry
Rachel Cacanando It's okay, we all make mistakes sometimes :)
The only fear I have about death is I may not lead another life as happy(or sad) as this or I may not be able to lead any life at all after I die.....
I can say I have that fear too man. But the way I look at it, focus on living this life and being happy now and living without these regrets. Don't be afraid of death because I mean it could result in a new beginning (another life after death) and even if it doesn't, you won't exactly be there to be disappointed. Live this life like its your last✌🏼️
I'm scared that if reincarnation is real, I won't remember this life and the amazing people I had to share it with. And it makes me really scared and anxious to think about this. As I type this tears are rolling down my cheeks.
you know what else is scary... the audio quality..
Wdym?
Its fine dumbass a
Wow, *Great* video guys!
Really made helped show me to stay the course, and definitely something I'll be showing to a couple people I know.
I think I always lived like I was going to die soon. I am true to myself, I spend a LOT of time with my family and I have a lot of fun doing things that I love. But I also worked really hard. I think it's possible to do everything that you need and want. Except sleeping ahahhahah.
Goals... Soccer goals.
Laurayt89 Lack of sleep can kill you worse
People like you are fun to be around, except when you steal our promotions! Haha
I'm not scared of dying, I'm just scared of knowing that I'm going to die
This video really made me think about sense of life, it helps to think about future! Thank u, guys✌🏼
Thank you for this video. You guys speak truth, and I appreciate it.
Well, time to confess to the person I like :)
tell me how it go's
definitely worth it, because if they don't like you back, then you can move on to better people.
Yep
ooh tell us how it plays out!
It actually turned out pretty well, even though I already knew he liked someone else. :))) (We're best friends)
I thought he was going to avoid me for the rest of my life, but things just kinda turned back to normal :))
my only regret is if my tombstone didn't say "I'm Rick James Bitch"
great honest talk guys; for anything/everything it is worth... luv y'all
This was great, well said
Just remember: Happiness is a choice. (Blue and yellow!)
Shaytards?? Maybe idk i might be wrong aha:)
Chesca y Yep :)
Oh wow, I need to change
thanks for this guys! eye opener!
aw you guys always make me smile
At some point after your death, someone will say your name for the last time
Not George bush
+MrTJRH thats deep
But I'm already dead inside :/
I almost died several times during the ages of 18-23. I was on my deathbed time and time again for months at a time. I'm so grateful for having had this time to reflect at such a young age. everything addressed in this video is what I live out today. Now I have meaningful relationships, a great boyfriend, a fun life, and live fearlessly expressing myself every day.
one of your best videos guys!!
After watching this I now want to go and skydive or something
I hope my last thought will be:
Well, I hope I respawn
+Magnus Eid lets both hope we are not on hardcore mode
nice one, both of you
thank you guys for this video always really important to remember :)
You guys are awesome. Great content!
