This video felt so therapeutic, it made me think of many of my internal struggles.... I've be sinking into to them, just wasting my time really.... and it's not worth it. Hating who you are and where you at in life and then doing nothing to change it while still postponing your own happiness till it all magically work out? Why the hell would someone do that? It. Isn't. Worth. It. I wanna turn my life around now.
✨Just remember ✨ THEY AIN'T GOT THAT BOOM LIKE YOU DO! That's another classic RNB song from 1999, btw. th-cam.com/video/OTxQH5F8MS8/w-d-xo.html No but really, they don't have your *boom* (and alternately, you don't have their *boom* - and shouldn't try to have it)! ❤️
I was looking for this comment because that's exactly how I feel! I keep focusing on what I'm lacking and doing nothing to change my circumstances. Like, we're better than that. The world deserves our energy
@@damondominique I can't believe I didn't see this till TODAY ❤️ thank u sm! thanks for this BOP, this video....everything, really. I'll believe in my BOOM!! (after the pandemic tho)
when you said we now have "time to take our time." oh my GOD. you're so right. like we have all this time to better ourselves and do what we've been wanting to do and everyone's just sitting worrying about when we'll be able to get back to the same stuff we been complaining about!!!! your brain Damon.
During this quarantine, if you are getting up, making your bed, getting dressed and loving yourself, you already have enough discipline and confidence to make your dreams a reality 🥳🥳🥳
yikes also there is something called the *mitochondrial eve*. a mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and it can be traced back to one woman everybody stems from, in east africa.
Interesting tidbit: American Sign Language has a similar linguistic structure as French because it came to the States by a man named Laurent Clerc. There are even some signs that are based on French words.
As I’m laying in bed unmotivated to even get up to get food, scrolling aimlessly through TH-cam, I CLICKED SO FAST my heart rate actually went up for a second. I’m like three seconds in, but I already know I needed this!
You may put on makeup, you may work out all the time, you may wear expensive clothes and such, but if you are not doing any of those things JUST FOR YOURSELF they will not make you happy. Real happiness starts by getting to know who you really are and what you actually want.
I need a Damon in my life to talk about deeper about how we live our lives, travel, language and love. Like Damon u are so unique and special and wonderful and teaching me so much about how to view the world. I am so proud of you
This video was exactly what I needed, I have personally stopped overcomplicating my day, so instead of forcing myself in to a routine and forcing myself to pursue my old hobbies, I do what I enjoyed doing more recently e.g journaling.
Definitely! Good job! Routines don't work for everyone, or past routines may not be the best for right now. I also had to stop trying to follow other people's ideas of the "right routines" and instead follow my own daily instincts. Some habits make me happy, like making my bed every morning. But some days if I stay in my pj's and just read a book all day, that's good too! I am not accepting anyone's judgement anymore!
1. this little playlist you made slaps and i need more 2. when you said you wanted to scream philosophical/existential thoughts to people, I was like damn right 3. your videos are giving me LIFE
Random fact for you Damon: When artists use the term "X", like, "Peanuts X Marc Jacobs", it literally means "cross" in terms of collaborating to produce a limited edition product. The term is less intimate than that of "and" or "with", which hint at a longer lasting relationship. .... I'm sure everyone on the planet is aware of this fact but whateva'.
I really wish I lived alone I swear I'd just walk around naked, eat snacks and watch Netflix but it's like you said, when you get what you want you're like well now I want what I had lol guess I just gotta be thankful for what I have.
Damon, true Extrovert, comparing life to an amusement park: How can you not like a different coaster? it's literally an amusement park Me, introverted af: :O
It’s so funny how your conscious just prepares you for the new chapter in your life. I bought 20 books/videos on 3 languages( before this virus broke out) and I’ve been taking this time to learn them and it has been an exhilarating soulful experience.💋trying new things even if it’s for a day can open you up to whole new world 🌎
i found your channel a couple of days ago and i feel like ive learnt more about money, love, life, myself etc... from your videos than anything else. the education system could never
Me and my sister go on a walk every morning (2 meters away from everyone else) and express everything we think in that moment - from the stupid to the insightful. In any way, it will always make me feel better. Sometimes we even put on a voice note to remember all the crazy shit we said, always hold onto those memories.
I swear on my dog that I was feeling soo depressed and sad and then I saw the letter to future you so I wrote one and I cried. I realized how many things I had been keeping in, and I let them all out. I wrote two letters and I am already feeling happier
You said it, Damon. We were all complaining before, and many are still doing so now. But if we think back to what we wanted and realize that now we have it, the circumstances are slightly less bizarre. I for one needed this, so thank you. This made a positive little spin on the whole staying inside and doing nothing situation for sure.
I wish your videos were longer, I truly enjoy you talking about random things, smiling, and just expressing yourself. I know, I know, running out of content, but I feel like more people like me, are on the same boat, we do enjoy your minimal content, even if it is you just sitting down doing absolutely nothing -which that's impossible- but yeah, the little things from you are really appreciated Damon. :)
When I was like 8 or something me and my friend learned the sign language alphabet, and I actually aced a test because of it. That was probably also where my exitement for learning languages came from...
Tell me why I started tearing up at the end when everyone was clapping to the music at the end from their little apartments and Damon joined in too. Like the cutest, sweetest, simple moment.
this video couldn't have come at a better time. it's been hard to adjust to life being turned on its head, but you're right dawg! we're not in a rush! we'll all come out on the other side, whenever that happens to be.
Damon is the only TH-camr I can laugh out loud to. It's like sitting down with the MOST hilarious friend ever and hanging out. This is the happiest stuff I've been watching during this shitshow of a situation haha.
I've been trying to "produce more than I consume" lately, I'm pretty sure I got that idea out of one of your videos. I find myself coming to your videos to find inspiration and motivation to be my best self. Thank you SO much for being who you are. Please always do what makes you happy, because it makes the world happy to watch as well.
😂"Go eat some noodles" that bit of the fight was hilarious... this is the first time I've watched any of your vids, it put me in such a great mood. I love the way you edit and express yourself. I can't go for a walk or a run but my building does have a rooftop {I've thought about running around in the parking lot but I'm shy to}. I try and watch the sunrise every morning but it's been cloudy for a the past couple of days. The moons been full and its a grat sight to see when it peeks through. When it comes to being productive and working out I've been more off than on. Lockdown laziness 🙈 whilst I was in uni I would wish for time to catch up and work on being ahead. As well as to work on my creative endevours. Now that I have the time.. I'm just binge watching stuff. I did start my youtube channel. It's in the crappy stages right now. But it's something I've fantasized about doing for a while. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it. Wishing you all the best during this time, love and light💕 Vi
I usually watch my videos on 1.5 speed but I like to watch Damon's on normal speed (and at times, rewind to repeat the FACTS he spewing) to really let that knowledge HIT
54 year old breeder car dwelling Cat Lady arriving a year late to this party gotta say I am IN LOVE with you and your channel!!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Never stop.
Yo Damon, idk who you are, and you may never see this, but I felt the need to comment that I've watched a few of your videos now and I HAVE to say, I absolutely adore how much work you put into them, and the drive you have to spread that message of love, and life and all things beautiful is completely admirable. Keep doing your thing broski.
omg!!!!! after my first week of "telecommuting", I had to really hype myself up just to go outside to go shopping, I was totally feeling a bit of agoraphobia. Then when I had to go back to work this week, ugh!!, so exhausted everyday, because I got used to getting up at 8 every morning instead of 6
This video has the best affirmations that anyone feeling unhappy or stuck should hear. It may just be the motivation to appreciate what you have around you and live in the NOW.
man your spirit just gets me everytime. and everytime I'm like I wanna be more like damon and YOU KNOW WHAT? I can have that attitude if I CUT THE BULLSHIT AND STOP EXCUSES ABOUT IT. your video got the message straight across haha, I needed and loved it, so simple but so true
I love how you talk LOL you are so enthusiastic and excited to talk about what you talk about so it seems like you can always have fun by yourself - this is much needed right now
Damon you are a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. Educational, entertaining and funny, and a lot of realness! I have been watching your videos for a while now. Love from Beverly Hills. xx
damon ngl this video lowkey saved me.. thank you for putting this all into perspective, i finally wrote down my emotions in my journal and it has brought me so much peace. every day i was really struggling with "'i have absolutely nothing to do and it's making me anxious" "i have no purpose" "i don't want to do things to be 'productive' for the sake of doing them cos everyone says to". really i just have to do whatever i feel like doing and that is enough. and i don't have to read a book cos someone told me to, i can read one because i've always said i don't have time for books and now i do. and it doesn't have to be a book that will **CHANGE ME** it can just be harry potter. fuck it i'll go read HP
Honestly i am happy and grateful that damon makes videos... Imagine if he hadnt met jo and started a yt channel.. This would be a sad world we re living in. Cheers mate!
I’m about to be a senior in high school and the part where you talk about “taking your time” when it came to the learning process in American school really helped me look at the upcoming semesters in a different light. Thank you!
On the topic of RACING THROUGH CLASSES: I was consistently of the mindset that I wanted to learn, but in America the process of learning has a massive price tag that we're trained we can't avoid. Even in college I always had a credit load of 18+ because I wanted to take electives outside of my major, but didn't want to risk being in college for another semester or two. The college plan doesn't encourage us to explore, it encourages us to get what we need to get done in order to avoid the financial burden of unmanageable loans. IF ONLY HIGH SCHOOL HAD AS MANY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AS UNIVERSITIES DID, but there we go chopping off entire departments from the high school education system until it's just the bare bones of what's necessary to get into university. And, once again, the cycle starts all over again.
I am in my final year of high school right now and as a senior, I spend so much of my time worrying about the future. This year feels like it is all I will ever have and so many stories are told about senior years being wonderful and honestly, mine isn't that right now. I think the reason that so many of us are so stuck in this final year is because we don't have any idea what will come next. I have no clue what my career is going to be. I don't know a single thing about my future. So i have been learning lately to not care so much about the small things. Life will go on if this one task isn't completely perfect because I chose to go for a walk instead of spend an extra hour on it. It is okay if I decide to spend time bettering myself as a human being. We ask so much of ourselves. How far would we go if we took time to let ourselves exist unapologetically?
this video should serve as a reminder that we are all blazing our own path in some way, which is profound & something we should be hyping ourselves up about, but comparison often kills.
I live in small studio apartment as well with no balcony or outdoor space, tough at first but I’m trying to focus on the positives - I now have the time to embrace my creativeness and read. And I have been doing those, it’s a luxury
I’m watching this now as a soon graduating senior and I totally relate to the college system being somewhat of a game. I have taken 6 AP classes in the last two years only to be taking a gap year because I’m broke, don’t have a car, and am having no financial help. We are taught to try and try to get into colleges when some of us just can’t get into it right away. Like, I’m going to get into college eventually, just not right now. It’s so crazy to me. Anyways, I’m rewatching a bunch of your videos and I love your content. You’re really inspiring to live life and appreciate the little things. Loved the Dubai vid and wish you the best ❤
If anything this is the best time ever to forget about all the social media and just shut your phone away... Just bask in the time we never have to do all the things that bring you the most happiness!
I just found your channel because I'm wide awake since 3am. I have the feeling I found the perfect corner of the internet to get inspired in times of Corona. Thank you for your videos 👏🏼🥰
I’ve been painting again and practicing my French . Finding balance between this insane idea that we have to be extremely productive instead of just being and taking this time to self reflect is a fine line but it’s quite possible. Anyone has an language exchange ideas? Love from a Guyanese nomad💋
I wish I had looked at it the same way as your friend in high school. I was by no means rushing through it, but I did take 2 AP classes, and you know what, I did horrible on 1 of the tests, and built up so much stress for the other one that I had a nervous breakdown on the day because of a clerical error they didn’t have me scheduled for the test. Those classes did nothing for me, but added a bunch of stress into my life and made me forget to enjoy my time. And on that test day, in the class I went to when I found out I wasn’t taking it, the teacher said lets all (half the class wasn’t taking the test) go get breakfast down the road. We went to a cute little diner, and had a great time while everyone else was stressing through an English test.
damon i absolutely i adore your music taste!! it makes me so happy! i doubt you’re gonna see this but if you do are you able to drop your spotify account or smth?
this video just bumped me out of a lot of confusion//anger//bitterness after being sent home from my study abroad program in Spain mid -march... thanks Damon
Future Me is my jam! I wrote a letter to myself in 2018 when shit was rough! I got it in 2019 when everything had turned around for me and it brought me to tears. Highly recommend Future Me yall
Ok but we NEED a PODCAST by Damon Dominique, please.
But like, I NEED TO SEE HIM
Please
WE NEED IT

On the topic of RACING THROUGH CLASSES: I was consistently of the mindset that I wanted to learn, but in America the process of learning has a massive price tag that we're trained we can't avoid. Even in college I always had a credit load of 18+ because I wanted to take electives outside of my major, but didn't want to risk being in college for another semester or two. The college plan doesn't encourage us to explore, it encourages us to get what we need to get done in order to avoid the financial burden of unmanageable loans. IF ONLY HIGH SCHOOL HAD AS MANY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AS UNIVERSITIES DID, but there we go chopping off entire departments from the high school education system until it's just the bare bones of what's necessary to get into university. And, once again, the cycle starts all over again.
"this is what we wanted... time to take our time." I had to snap my fingers on that one sis!!!
Just found your channel, watched this video, did my assignment, did my workout, got that podcast and decided I was going to continue to learn french
I am in my final year of high school right now and as a senior, I spend so much of my time worrying about the future. This year feels like it is all I will ever have and so many stories are told about senior years being wonderful and honestly, mine isn't that right now. I think the reason that so many of us are so stuck in this final year is because we don't have any idea what will come next. I have no clue what my career is going to be. I don't know a single thing about my future. So i have been learning lately to not care so much about the small things. Life will go on if this one task isn't completely perfect because I chose to go for a walk instead of spend an extra hour on it. It is okay if I decide to spend time bettering myself as a human being. We ask so much of ourselves. How far would we go if we took time to let ourselves exist unapologetically?
this video should serve as a reminder that we are all blazing our own path in some way, which is profound & something we should be hyping ourselves up about, but comparison often kills.
YOUR PLACE IS A WHOLE MOOD. so much sunlight !!!! stunning
read the four tendencies!! helps you understand how/why you thrive on internal/external pressure!
I live in small studio apartment as well with no balcony or outdoor space, tough at first but I’m trying to focus on the positives - I now have the time to embrace my creativeness and read. And I have been doing those, it’s a luxury
I really want Damon to make a Spotify playlist with all the song references he makes because they sound AMAZING
you are seriously one of the most creative and honest people I watch on TH-cam, like damn im so weirdly PROUD OF YOU FOR KICKING ASS DAMON.
This is a short film that deserves an Oscar 🥺
I love your videos! The editing, the bits of music and singing you put in, and your whole personality!
I’m watching this now as a soon graduating senior and I totally relate to the college system being somewhat of a game. I have taken 6 AP classes in the last two years only to be taking a gap year because I’m broke, don’t have a car, and am having no financial help. We are taught to try and try to get into colleges when some of us just can’t get into it right away. Like, I’m going to get into college eventually, just not right now. It’s so crazy to me. Anyways, I’m rewatching a bunch of your videos and I love your content. You’re really inspiring to live life and appreciate the little things. Loved the Dubai vid and wish you the best ❤
If anything this is the best time ever to forget about all the social media and just shut your phone away... Just bask in the time we never have to do all the things that bring you the most happiness!
I just found your channel because I'm wide awake since 3am. I have the feeling I found the perfect corner of the internet to get inspired in times of Corona. Thank you for your videos 👏🏼🥰
I’ve been painting again and practicing my French . Finding balance between this insane idea that we have to be extremely productive instead of just being and taking this time to self reflect is a fine line but it’s quite possible.
Anyone has an language exchange ideas?

After clicking publish on this, I went straight to the art store and bought €52 worth of paint supplies! Now to see if it'll arrive...
Damon Dominique I’d love to see what beautiful and/fun pieces you come up with!
I wish I had looked at it the same way as your friend in high school. I was by no means rushing through it, but I did take 2 AP classes, and you know what, I did horrible on 1 of the tests, and built up so much stress for the other one that I had a nervous breakdown on the day because of a clerical error they didn’t have me scheduled for the test. Those classes did nothing for me, but added a bunch of stress into my life and made me forget to enjoy my time.
And on that test day, in the class I went to when I found out I wasn’t taking it, the teacher said lets all (half the class wasn’t taking the test) go get breakfast down the road. We went to a cute little diner, and had a great time while everyone else was stressing through an English test.
damon i absolutely i adore your music taste!! it makes me so happy! i doubt you’re gonna see this but if you do are you able to drop your spotify account or smth?
this video just bumped me out of a lot of confusion//anger//bitterness after being sent home from my study abroad program in Spain mid -march... thanks Damon
