I remember when my passion or drive began to fade for the one thing that gave me meaning. The clouds seemed to get darker, their grey nature gripped the blue sky, drowning it in its own color. It's so hard to explain how it felt, so its easier to explain how it looks. I was sitting on the ridge of a valley, large mountains that traced the landscape with their bulk sat in my vision. I sat there for hours as a storm of fog slowly rolled into the valley, until the valley was replaced with nothing but the grey mist. This is the best way I can describe that feeling.
Dude, this video really resonated with me. I faced a similiar situation with my love for coding. I hit some of my lowest points during the lockdown and felt depressed for a long period of time. Now, since things have started opening up, I too feel much better. I've started excercising, eating healthy and focussing on my career and relationships. Also, I just watched your video on Little Miss Sunshine and teared up a bit, it was that good! So what I mean to say is, don't doubt yourself. You've got it. Seriously. I discovered your channel thru it and really liked your perspective on BrBa as well. Keep making these videos bro. Much love
I feel this but perhaps more extreme. I had come to university starting with an interest in psychedelics but because of an overwhelmingly anxious experience with those substances I felt exactly what you describe. The self doubt and confusion that comes with feeling your identity, the direction of so much of your efforts failing you. And slowly, ever so slowly that enjoyment coming back. Although I think this process couldn't happen any faster. Thank you
Between 5:30-6:00, you spoke identically to what I've been living with over multiple years, but for me it was painting and drawing. It may or may not return to you. For me, it'll occasionally come in bursts. But it almost feels like a nagging force I must comply with instead of an expressive release, like it used to. It's hard to explain, but the satisfaction is no longer present. You don't seem the type to pursue a project solely for money, your heart has to be in it. I'm not sure where you're at now since posting this video, but man, I suggest you do something completely unordinary! Sitting back and WAITING for life to happen is just as soul crushing as forcing yourself to do something you once had a passion for in hopes of reawakening it. I found my grounding again by bouncing off to Alaska! Rough work, rough hours, rough conditions and elements, but it made me feel alive again!!! I had forgotten what it felt like to be alive! Perhaps you can find something extreme and unconventional, as well? The shock is like an ice bath, it's a rude awakening but an AWAKENING none-the-less!!! Thank You for you video 🙂 Please keep posting, your insight is exceptionally humbling.
I'm just going to comment a couple things, and I hope you feel them from their intent. First you are very talented in the medium of film. I preface the second comment with the first in hopes that you don't detract from the former with the latter. My second comment would be: that I have found some people feel life so intensely that they can't help but express themselves, and the medium of that expression can change ebb and flow. I have found those that have the honestly with themselves and the courage to express what they are feeling honestly regardless of meduim (writing, comics, video, stand-up, painting etc.) are those who push humanity forward inch by inch. I'm a bit older and I can say that there will be moments in every life where what you cared about one moment will drastically change. For example the first time I held my son, so much I used to care about seemed dull. . .the flip side was things I used to see as dull were now shining. I am here bc I very much enjoy your content and hope you continue to hone your craft. But if a day comes where that changes, I would suggest being gentle with yourself, as I have confidence you would find a way to share your life with the world as you have been. sorry so long. hope this finds you well.
Subbed. Not that I am a worthy judge, but FWIW, I think you are great at filmmaking. Loved the LittleMissSunshine video as well (it made me tear up a little bit). That's one of my all-time favourite movies.
Really enjoying the videos on this channel, YT algorithm gods doing work, also what is the piece of music that starts at around 00:47 Im sure I have heard it somewhere, it's got this ethereal longing about it.
My dad, who is a veteran of the Iraq War, hates this movie because he says it’s not accurate, but I’ve never cared about that I love the film for other reasons
Please never stop making videos. They're very good, and they make me happy.
Thank you. I will make more I promise!

Thanks so much, that’s really kind of you to say

Thanks! It's from The Social Network. 'Hand Covers Bruise' is what I believe it's called
Great stuff
Thank you :)
. Doubt can infect everything, but have you ever considered doubting your doubt?
