it's almost weird how everytime you speak my mind. I'm 16 now and the only question I hear every day is: what do you want to be later? what are you gonna do? and most of the time I try to change the subject cause I really don't know and the future scares me. You're such a big inspiration for me. thank you
God, I never wanted you to stop talking.. and you literally just spoke my mind. You literally just made me feel. I wanna tell you I'm proud of you, like really really proud of you. Darling you're going places in life, trust me. and I wanna be there all the way. to tell u I'm proud of you over and over again. I might not know u in person, true. you have no flying idea about who I am, also true. but I love you. I love your mind, and I love how every single word u say hits deep. Just where I want it to hit. Again, I love you.
People like you are the ones who make difference in this world. You're a great inspiration and i really can't stop watching your videos and listening to your poetry. You have a great future ahead of you girl. Keep doing what you love. By the way, you're really beautiful in a different way.. like idk but it's a good different of course. much love
I'm a musician, and at first it was well, but then nothing felt like worth for me, nothing was interesting...now I'm trying to enter in a nurse's school, I have a feeling that I will only be happy helping others...but I'm also still lost... so thanks for this words, you are amazing!
I can relate to this in so many levels! from the anxiety after graduation to rebuilding yourself again after rejection. Everything! I spent the entire day watching your videos and i didn't regret anything! For the longest time I thought I was the only one feeling this way. Thank you! You're such an inspiration.
Taz I'm glad to hear things turned out better for you. I hope they stay that way forever and you remain happy. I'm 50, in a couple of days I'll be 51, and I don't have a "what's next". I'm divorced. Went through bankruptcy. Lost my house to foreclosure and had my car repossessed. Eventually I got evicted from a different house and was almost homeless if it wasn't for my sister finding me this apartment. I haven't worked for a few years now because I get anxiety/panic attacks and miss a lot of work. I filed for disability, due to my anxiety and depression and because I have a bad lower back where I can't lift much, and after 3 years of it being in court I just received a letter stating that my appeal has been denied. A few years back I cashed in my 401K to live on so now I have no retirement money to look forward to. So when I saw the title of this video you made it made me ask myself the question and I'm having a hard time seeing any "next". But that's mine and not yours to worry about. I am truly happy to see things working out for you and wish you continued success. Thank you !
You are so beautiful, both inside and out. You are an inspiration and give me hope. I could listen to your voice literally all day and never tire of hearing your words. Please, never stop doing spoken word poetry.
This spoken word poem was very needed for me and really struck a chord, so thank you :) I have been watching you for a while but have only just made a TH-cam account today. I started at uni in September studying a History degree but left last week because I realised that it just wasn't for me. I have spent the past year since I first applied to uni feeling very lost, knowing that I wasn't making the choices that were right for me but without really knowing any alternative path to take. I've come home to find myself being seen differently by a lot of people who know me because of my decision but this video has made me realise that at the end of the day all that truly matters is that I'm happy. I hope to go back to uni next year to study English Language instead as I think that that's where my real passion lies. I thought it would be a fun project for me to create a TH-cam account to upload content to and to invest my time into whilst I'm trying to figure out the whole uni thing as it's something I've been wanting to try for a while but have never had the confidence/right mentality to do. I've only recently become aware of the existence of spoken word poetry and have TH-camrs such as yourself to thank for my discovery of it. It's something that I've been starting to try myself and within the next couple of weeks/months hope to have gotten myself to a stage where I feel like I can share my own poetry on TH-cam. Thank you for posting such a lovely video and I wish you luck with everything in the future
A few months ago I came across your poetry videos and it was the sign for me to start performing my own poetry. Thank you for the inspiration. You're a brilliant writer & speaker
Damn this really hit home for me. Feeling lost & unsure has become quite a norm for me lately, and I want to change that so badly. The filming & editing in this was so powerful, definitely one of my new favourite of yours! Thank you once again Taz for another piece of brilliant work! Xx :)
Wow. Just wow. You're amazing at putting into words what you truly feel. What I feel. I find comfort knowing that I'm not the only one undergoing such crisis. You inspire me. Thank you so much.
I know I am late to watch this. But I suppose I have watched this in the time when I needed to hear this the most. I am quite certain that you may be younger than me, but Taz, I wish I were as confident and clear minded as you are when I was depressed because of my not so perfect transition from a straight a student to a sudden failure . Thanks for this. This means a lot
I can relate to so much of this. I'm slowly getting out of the rock bottom step, but I'm still trying to figure out what I want to and can do. This was just so real to me in so many ways. It's like you were telling my story. Wow. You are an amazing poet.
I completely love your spoken words, they help me so much! I am just about to go to university and I am feeling pretty lost! Keep on living your dream! Much love from Brazil 💙
Taz your amazing and inspirational I follow you on Snapchat and been waiting for your next video. I'm going through my depression stages right now but Thank God for you, you inspire me. Please continue
This is pretty much me now. Im about to graduate my degree and i have no idea what to do next. And the people around me just put more pressure on me to find a job.
Tonoz it sucks big time.. i just started college, now after watching this clip i cant decide whether i should go for the degree or not....cuz lets face it..we all know we will be jobless after graduation... yeah i hope so too, i hope we really get out of it soon..maybe we should start seeing life the way Taz does
Its funny that you posted this video because a week ago I decided this myself and only just seen this! Keep inspiring, you're going to make an impact on so many peoples lives!! :)
Taz, your spoken word poems have helped me a lot in the past year. I have been working extremely hard in high school, but have no clue what I truly want to do. It has had a negative impact on my passion for learning. Until recently, I have been destroying myself psychologically in order to fulfill expectations of what I'm supposed to be doing---aka what everyone else is doing---and it's been driving me insane. I am finally taking charge of my life. I have decided to take a gap year before applying to university so I can figure out who I am and what I am passionate about. Your videos have helped me feel confident in making this decision and that means everything to me. Thank you Taz. By the way, if anyone has any ideas about what I should do during my gap year, let me know!! :))))
Omg i'm speechless :O this is exactly how i'm feeling right now. I wish I could meet with you and speak to you all day because I feel you would understand everything that I am feeling right now. I just finished uni (after 4 yrs) and I ve been studying Marketing. Now that I graduated I feel lost. I ve been sending CVs but everyone rejected me and I don't know what's gonna happen. I wake up every morning without any scope and I have to say I am starting to feel really depressed. I dont want to bore you with my boring life but I would like to thank you for sharing your story because it honestly made me feel better knowing that I am not alone and I am not different from the rest.
I'm 19 and I still get the question "What are you going to do?" "Where do you see yourself in 5 years, 10 years?" but after watching this, I've realised now...thank you so much for this!
I love your videos and vlogs.You have inspired me to be positive and enjoy every little things in life and be happy.I really love you❤️.You gave me hope😘.You are literally goals.😀
Thank you for writing this-- I think it's my favourite poem of yours just because I relate to it so much. Knowing I'm not the only one going through this mIDLIFE crisis helps.
Honestly this is what I think everyday Because I'm only 14, but I stress about what I want and I want to be free and do things and live my life but I wonder HOW DO I DO THAT? I would live to write poetry, write books, write stories, but how do I do that? I'm already writing my things, I'm working on books but I fear I can never finish One and although I have my dream it'll never come true and my life will just repeat always. How unfair is that actually? Where from do I get the money? My books will never achieve any success, I can say that for sure, because they're bad. How do I live?
Hello! I’m 14 right now and honestly I feel the same, and I’m scared of my future. Hows it been? After 3 years, what do you think now? Hope you see this but you probably won’t.
I Love Your Videos And I Think Your Beautiful From The Inside And Outside. Keep Up The Good Work And By The Way Your Voice Is Amazing, It Gets To Me Every Time!
Damn I want to cry. I have been saying this for 2 years. I don't effing Know what I want to do, but since I got good grades in high school, I got into medical school. I don't hate it ALL the time, but I mostly do, especially when the thought keeps getting to me that I didn't even choose this or want it" I am stuck, and medical school is no joke it's such a long and tiring path that needs motivation and passion, I have none. How.. how did you get to know what you love? You just got your degree and spoke to a camera!! I loved you poetry once you said "I had no idea" because SAME.
Just a stranger here chiming in: I'm sort of on the other side of your spectrum, yet the same. I've started out in a different career, but decided to chase my dream and to get into med school. But it's been so hard to sustain that I feel equally lost as you. Medicine is hard, for anyone period. You really need to have the heart for it, to be in healthcare because it is a life and not just a job. Somewhere, somehow you did choose this, you just need to figure out why. What is it that does bring you satisfaction? It is the most important advice I can give you, to find that out. In anything you do in life. Because without it, you can't be a good doctor. One of the hardest choices would be to walk away from it, because of the expectations, opportunities and whatnot. But if it doesn't bring you the satisfaction it needs, those things are all worthless. So it would render the money or stature. But even if you don't know what's it all for, just know that everyone in medicine has had that thought at some point. I have one rule of thumb for anything in life and that is: If it doesn't scare and excite you at the same time, it's probably not worth doing. So try to get past of any self doubt, and go out there and enjoy. Whether that's in medicine or not. But if at some part in my story, you got a little angry at the thought of 'who the hell does this person thinks she is talking about quiting or having enough heart', then you'll know you're on the right track ;) Take care.
"What's to gain? Everything" chillsss
Amelia Khbais - my thoughts exactly

I'm a musician, and at first it was well, but then nothing felt like worth for me, nothing was interesting...now I'm trying to enter in a nurse's school, I have a feeling that I will only be happy helping others...but I'm also still lost... so thanks for this words, you are amazing!

Taz I'm glad to hear things turned out better for you. I hope they stay that way forever and you remain happy. I'm 50, in a couple of days I'll be 51, and I don't have a "what's next". I'm divorced.

Beautiful, I feel like I'm in this exact scenario right now; I just started university.
You are so beautiful, both inside and out. You are an inspiration and give me hope. I could listen to your voice literally all day and never tire of hearing your words. Please, never stop doing spoken word poetry.

By the way, if anyone has any ideas about what I should do during my gap year, let me know!! :))))
Carrie Almir try doing some sport that you really like or dance
Carrie Almir but most important LIVE
As a kid who's afraid of growing up partly because of the fakeness of most adults, I needed this.
All through its like you have been talking about me.
I love your work
Proud of you Taz! You've come so far! :)
Omg i'm speechless :O this is exactly how i'm feeling right now. I wish I could meet with you and speak to you all day because I feel you would understand everything that I am feeling right now.

This is your best poem yet. xxx
Aamina Mall - this one was beautiful, wasnt it?
You are absolutely brilliant!!!

I literally love you so so much and your poetry has made me feel as though I'm not alone. Thank you
this is so inspiring Taz. I'm so happy for you!
Simply awesome theme...when one walks away from the norm towards the calling of the heart's desires, liberty is experienced.
Honestly this is what I think everyday
Because I'm only 14, but I stress about what I want and I want to be free and do things and live my life but I wonder HOW DO I DO THAT?
I would live to write poetry, write books, write stories, but how do I do that?
I'm already writing my things, I'm working on books but I fear I can never finish One and although I have my dream it'll never come true and my life will just repeat always. How unfair is that actually? Where from do I get the money? My books will never achieve any success, I can say that for sure, because they're bad.
How do I live?
Hello! I’m 14 right now and honestly I feel the same, and I’m scared of my future. Hows it been? After 3 years, what do you think now? Hope you see this but you probably won’t.
Most relatable TH-camr ever am I right?
Amazing and inspirational as usual taz 😁
You are honestly incredible this left me speechless, well done 👏
This is great! I love your videos and I truly enjoy watching them and listening to you! So, thank you:)
Also your voice is really calming
Your handwriting is perfect!
amazing video!! i love all your spoken words ❤❤❤
in just 4 minutes and 2 seconds you have inspired me to do what I was always afraid of doing. Thank you✌
I Love Your Videos And I Think Your Beautiful From The Inside And Outside.
Keep Up The Good Work And By The Way Your Voice Is Amazing, It Gets To Me Every Time!

How.. how did you get to know what you love? You just got your degree and spoke to a camera!! I loved you poetry once you said "I had no idea" because SAME.
Just a stranger here chiming in: I'm sort of on the other side of your spectrum, yet the same. I've started out in a different career, but decided to chase my dream and to get into med school. But it's been so hard to sustain that I feel equally lost as you. Medicine is hard, for anyone period.

I really love your videos! They're great! :)
This is amazing! Much love Taz💓
Amazing!!! I love all of it❤️❤️
Added to my favs.
wow you are such an inspiration thank you
