Thank you for all the support and comments from so many different people, it's really warmed my heart! This video honestly wasn't meant to get any views, but I'm glad I posted it, as I've gotten to read so many stories, encouragement, advice, etc, that's helped me see some hope in finding my future. I hope that anyone who finds this video can find comfort in knowing they aren't as alone as they think they might be. (as I've come to see as people found this random video haha) Love you all and I hope we can all achieve our goals together! P.S. It's crazy that the internet can bring all of us together through some random video haha
hey :) u have such a cute smile, would be a waste not to show it more 🙂↕️. Also as a person that's finishing uni, don't worry about making always the right decisions. There's not only one way to get somewhere or smth :)) be kind to yourself. and I completely agree, being a teenager is really... hard sometimes. We have so much thoughts and ideas and decisions haha. But hey, also try to enjoy the way. Now I look back and I really shouldn't have tried to live and focus always in the future. :)
I just came across this video randomly. I'm in the same boat. I feel like my brain is splitting half the time, needing to study really hard to get into my dream college, and also think about what I want to major in, it's tough. I feel like choosing my major is me choosing my life path. I also want to go into computer science, coding is pretty fun. Then you get into a slump and rethink all your decisions, and now I'm thinking of majoring in something else... but I'm not sure. I haven't gotten it all figured out yet, and seeing my friends know exactly what they want to pursue, it makes you feel really alone and behind. Just know that you are not alone. Being a teen is hard. Making decisions that seem like it would change the trajectory of your whole life is difficult. You doubt yourself. I doubt myself all the time. I'm not sure where to go from here, what to do now, anything. But I really believe that things will work out in the end. You'll make it work out. Take one step at a time. It's okay to take a few steps back. Those steps may be the reason you can run forward later.
Seeing the people around you know definitely makes you feel behind. A lot of my friends already have a career and life planned yet it feels like I’m the only one without one, but I’m glad that I posted this video because it’s allowing me to see that I’m not alone in this situation! And that last bit of your comment is pretty neat, thanks for your encouragement and advice!
"Just needed a place to talk", saw the title of the video, clicked it, and throughout the video I ended up realizing that I also needed a place to talk or express what is going on about me at the moment. I probably have related to most everything you said so it kind of inspired me or something. Thank you and have a great life man. You can do this. There is this quote that I picked up "Inaction is far more worse than wrong action" so take that action bro. And to even anyone who read this.
I’m glad you could relate to the video and that it inspired you! Honestly, it wasn’t the reason that I made it, but I’m certainly glad it helped in any capacity. That’s a wonderful quote, I’ll be sure to remember it. Thanks for watching!
Yeah bro. I remember this time. You weren't wrong when you said its a hard time. (traumatic flashbacks) What ended up working for me was just a good deal of introspection. I figured out what kind of person I was, and then what sort of person I wanted to become. What I wanted to prioritize in my life. Whatever job path took me there i just ended up doing that. Although written down it sounds surprisingly simple, i assure you it was not. but really all you can do is be honest to yourself abt who you are and what you want out of life.
Figuring out what kind of person you are and then what kind of person you want to become sounds like a good place to start for me and anyone in this situation. And right, honesty to myself is definitely important. Thank you for the advice!
this came up n i listened to the whole thing while gaming(lmao if u were wondering it was dress to impress uhmmmm). i get the feeling of not knowing what to do and having to make decisions without enough time a lot. u sounded rlly interested in the musical conductor thing, so if u feel up to it maybe try smthg like that out? i get the parental expectations abt it tho too haha, but either way i hope u find a way to do smthg that makes u the happiest. im rooting for u n prayed for u atsuto :) also like for the record, u have a pretty smile
I’m glad you were able to listen to it while playing dress to impress haha. Thanks for the encouragement and the compliment, I’ll do my best to find what makes me happiest!
It's my last year of high school as well, it's hella scary to think of what might come after this but we need to keep pushing!! let's hope that the future holds better days for us 💗
I hope so too. I’m still only halfway through my second to last year of high school so in technicality I have a bit more time, but my parents are certainly not making it feel like I have any time XD Good luck to your future as well!
I think I’m the same age with u cuz I’m preparing for college entrance exam too (I’m in SEA). And yeah, it’s overwhelming. 3 months ago I still thought that I would get into Business and become an administrator or financial consultants kinda stuff, now I’m studying to get into linguistics and become a teacher. This confusion probably stems from the fact that I was never really serious about what I was doing and where I would be in the future. I simply just “that seems cool, I’ll do this” then “now I’m gonna do that and I’ll become this”. I’m a chronic dreamer I guess. I never really do anything, I never take my actual abilities seriously, I just aim for whatever glamorous and now I get a reality check. It’s harsh, but at least I’ve learned, a lot, more than all I did the last 3 years. I’ve learned that I need to take my strengths and weaknesses into account. I’m not that “gifted kid” anymore, I need to keep my ego down and accept that there are things that are actually very difficult, and I don’t love it enough to have the perseverance for it. I’ve also learned that I have to do serious research into a field and into myself to decide if I hate or love a career path. I used to turn my head immediately when my parents suggested me to become a teacher, because I perceived that job to be tedious, dead-end and… just “lame”. But now that I sit down and think about it seriously, I realize that: wait, I love public speaking and explaining stuff, I often unconsciously pretend that someone is listening to me and then talking about a topic for hours, I have patience, I have a good listening ears, and there are a lot of ways to do teaching, not necessarily being a teacher in a public school. I can do youtube, I can open private classes, I can be a private tutor, I can host language training camp,etc. I guess I actually want to be... a teacher. I might not think so in the future though. And this is the 3rd thing I’ve learned. There’s no darn way you can find out where you will be in the future. At this age, we can be a complete different human being after one month, let alone 4 years. We’re gen Z, we flexible, we’ll change, it’s fine and there’s always opportunities. Don’t worry too much about the future, you can barely do anything about it, be present in what you’re doing right now. Having said that, I’m still a huge mess, changes take time I guess. Hope that you find this helpful, or at least relatable, or else I’ll die of embarrassment for pointless yapping. I actually have no idea who you are, I haven’t checked your channel to see your previous videos yet, but this video of yours spawned into my feed and I resonate with it hard, so I gotta yap, thank you for speaking out and giving people a place to talk too. Peace of mind for you. And your smile is fine, be easy on it.
I do find it helpful, thank you! All of that realization on so many different things is definitely real, and I’m going through it as well. Thank you for your story though, definitely makes me feel seen. I hope you can achieve your goals! (also linguistics is very cool)
you'll figured it out bro! I was 2 years late to college, too busy on working prior to this. Now that I had the chance, I felt like this isn't me. It's kind of frustrating, but I'll give my best. If anything happened, I'll go back on working 9-5. Best of luck for both of us! I'm on computer engineering, if you had any discord let me know, let's connect tho.
hey bro, i just wanted to say…breathe. i know ur worrying about tomorrow and rightly so but look how far you’ve come! ur almost through high school. look at what you’ve accomplished! we’re always so focused on what up ahead that we forget to give ourselves credit for what’s behind. you’ve made it this far, you’ll make the right decision for the next chapter of your life. breathe. i’m asian too ik the pressure that’s put on us and honestly it was killing me to the point where i literally told my parents “it’s my life that i have to live, the pressure ur putting on me is crushing and honestly isn’t helping. i need to figure out my own path in my own time”. and here i am now at 19 living my honest best life that i didn’t even think was possible at 16/17. u got this. i believe in u. and btw stop saying ur smile is ugly or that people won’t watch the whole video because both are not true. believe in urself just like how we believe in u :)
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me. and about me saying people wouldn’t be watching the whole thing, I honestly didn’t think anyone would. I mean it was just a video to put my thoughts somewhere out there instead of harboring them. But thank you so much for your kind encouragement, it means a lot.
Hey man, I'm one of those who watched your video haha... I just felt like quickly commenting on this video, because I feel like I am in similar spot as you are right now. I also dont have my lifes route planned out, but will need to have that done soon. I cant give you a whole lot of advice or anything, but I feel like its important to remember that life can change just as quickly as it can change slowly. You never know what is going to happen, how you are going to feel. You might just as well wake up tomorrow morning and have a solid idea of your career path or you might wake up and suddenly find that whatever you thought you had planned out previously was complete nonsense. However despite this, I think one should never lose hope and just let life come to you in a naturally fast way. Also, side note, I'd imagine you have a smile worth showing. Put it up on TH-cam! You've already put yourself out here in the first place. Life's short and what people think of you really doesnt matter in the first place. Have a good one.
\I chase a dream I cannot see, A distant call that calls to me. The path is blurred, the way unclear, Yet still, I move, despite the fear. Loneliness wraps its cold embrace, But I can’t stop, I can’t erase The hunger in my heart to find The purpose hiding in my mind. I don’t know where this road will go, But still I run, I need to know. "Keep walking, don’t you hide," I hear, A whisper strong, despite the fear. Maybe I'll reach the end someday, Or maybe I’ll just fade away. But still I chase, through night and day, Because I must, I cannot stay.. dont you worry. this is your life.
Hi ! Im still watching and I can relate to the loneliness part. Im older than you but my sister is around your age. So I understand from listening to her talk. Just remember if you choose something it doesn’t have to be final. You will hopefully be able to try many things to see what you like.
Ey man, im 20 and i've been through shit lately. The thing IS u dont really can enjoy that times unless u know how bad life can actually get. Mi advise is to man Up, try to get yourself away from every technology that exist, other than your future Jobs. Tech is just making us going crazy, time is just going out the window.
I think it's important to remember that your work does not have to be your whole life. Work can just be a way to earn the money you need to do the things you care about. Even if you don't see yourself in a music career, it's still worth pursuing because you enjoy it.
Heyy Atsuto ! I am one of those who clicked on your video even if I never saw you, well, I think that it will be cool if I tell you about my story, If I can name it a "story" aha, I am Tesnim, a 18 years old girl at her first year of medschool (I am french and we don't have premed, you go directly in medschool after high school) Since little I wanted to be a Doctor and loved the human body and helping people but as I grew up, I said to myself that naahh doctor is not a real cool thing with all these years to become a doctor (ten to twelves years) and I want my week-ends and work as little as possible, so I literally gave up medicine and I started like... not to hate it but to not be interested in that, so I search up for other job like I could be an or nurse or maybe a therapist or an architect or an engineer, I literally changed my career ideas every week, and for me medicine was literally IMPOSSIBLE like nuh uh thanks next, even when I still felt (and feel) my heart skipping a beat when I saw (and see) an ambulance, the other thing is the first year of medschool, in France just 10% of those who are in the first year can go to the second year... yep you saw it right, 10% and it's well known to be the hardest year of studies, you don't have a social life, you don't sleep, you become addicted to cafeine, you can't even see ur friends and family, at the same time just 10% go to the second year so you have to sell your soul and brain, but at the last year of highschool, in January or February, I sat down and said to myself, you have to apply for medschool, you have to do this. Then gradually, I just wanted medicine, it was medicine or nothing, and you know why ? Because I chose not to be afraid, or at least to do what I love, what I want, even if I was scared. Medicine was in my heart even when I was in that phase when I wasn't interested anymore (or pretend that I wasn't interested) like for real It scared me to death and it still do, but like when someone told me "what's ur dream job" and I said "Doctor" and they were like "why don't you go to medschool then if it's your dream ?" and I just stood up there like... oh... This person said the truth, it's your dream, why do you hide yourself like that from your dream, and it was because of this simple word : FEAR. But dreams don't come easily, you have to sacrifice yourself and what you love, you cry, you sweat, you scream and it's alright, that's why they are called dreams. and here I am, first year of medschool even if I still don't know if I will succeed cause you know... the 10%, but at least I wouldn't have any regret ! Cause I tried, I applied to medschool, I worked, I did what I could, and if I can't be a doctor, then It wouldn't be because of my fear but of life itself. So what I want to say to you is : follow your heart, your pure desire, even if you have a little one that you are hiding, open it, don't hide it and it will come to you. DON'T HIDE YOURSELF BECAUSE OF YOUR FEAR !
Thanks for sharing! It really helps to know how different people got to where they are. I guess maybe I just need to commit and ignore that fear of failure haha. Although unlike medschool, music degrees are a bit weird and complicated, so I don’t know how well that might go. But thank you for the great advice, and I’m sure it’ll help other people who see your comment as well! Thank you for your story and best of luck with medschool!
@@atsurao thank you ! and yeah haha you really have to ignore that fear of failure, that's what keep you down sometimes, it's true that music degrees are a bit more complicated and I'm so sorry I can't help you with that (cause I know nothing about music 😭) but I really hope that you will figure it out, and don't forget, a job is not for life, you can still change your path even after 5 or 15 years. Best of luck :)
Thank you for all the support and comments from so many different people, it's really warmed my heart!

off topic but you have an absolutely adorable smile
Thank you! Didn’t think I’d ever hear that haha

\I chase a dream I cannot see,
A distant call that calls to me.
The path is blurred, the way unclear,
Yet still, I move, despite the fear.
Loneliness wraps its cold embrace,
But I can’t stop, I can’t erase
The hunger in my heart to find
The purpose hiding in my mind.
I don’t know where this road will go,
But still I run, I need to know.
"Keep walking, don’t you hide," I hear,
A whisper strong, despite the fear.
Maybe I'll reach the end someday,
Or maybe I’ll just fade away.
But still I chase, through night and day,
Because I must, I cannot stay.. dont you worry. this is your life.
Is this a poem? or lyrics? What a powerful piece
@@atsurao,3 Poem,, THank u love
wow not first very nice to see so many other supportive comments
lol fr, I didn’t think anyone would click on this video
Hi !
Im still watching and I can relate to the loneliness part. Im older than you but my sister is around your age. So I understand from listening to her talk.
Just remember if you choose something it doesn’t have to be final. You will hopefully be able to try many things to see what you like.
Thank you for your comforting words and for listening :)
same shit for me too bro I feel weird lately everything just weird in life lately I am younger I 15 and I feel the exact same.
Definitely a weird phase of life to be in haha
Ey man, im 20 and i've been through shit lately. The thing IS u dont really can enjoy that times unless u know how bad life can actually get. Mi advise is to man Up, try to get yourself away from every technology that exist, other than your future Jobs. Tech is just making us going crazy, time is just going out the window.
Thank you for your advice
I think it's important to remember that your work does not have to be your whole life. Work can just be a way to earn the money you need to do the things you care about. Even if you don't see yourself in a music career, it's still worth pursuing because you enjoy it.
That's a good point, it's just my parents wouldn't be too happy about it haha. Thank you for your encouragement though!
Heyy Atsuto ! I am one of those who clicked on your video even if I never saw you, well, I think that it will be cool if I tell you about my story, If I can name it a "story" aha, I am Tesnim, a 18 years old girl at her first year of medschool (I am french and we don't have premed, you go directly in medschool after high school) Since little I wanted to be a Doctor and loved the human body and helping people but as I grew up, I said to myself that naahh doctor is not a real cool thing with all these years to become a doctor (ten to twelves years) and I want my week-ends and work as little as possible, so I literally gave up medicine and I started like... not to hate it but to not be interested in that, so I search up for other job like I could be an or nurse or maybe a therapist or an architect or an engineer, I literally changed my career ideas every week, and for me medicine was literally IMPOSSIBLE like nuh uh thanks next, even when I still felt (and feel) my heart skipping a beat when I saw (and see) an ambulance, the other thing is the first year of medschool, in France just 10% of those who are in the first year can go to the second year... yep you saw it right, 10% and it's well known to be the hardest year of studies, you don't have a social life, you don't sleep, you become addicted to cafeine, you can't even see ur friends and family, at the same time just 10% go to the second year so you have to sell your soul and brain, but at the last year of highschool, in January or February, I sat down and said to myself, you have to apply for medschool, you have to do this.
Then gradually, I just wanted medicine, it was medicine or nothing, and you know why ? Because I chose not to be afraid, or at least to do what I love, what I want, even if I was scared.
Medicine was in my heart even when I was in that phase when I wasn't interested anymore (or pretend that I wasn't interested) like for real It scared me to death and it still do, but like when someone told me "what's ur dream job" and I said "Doctor" and they were like "why don't you go to medschool then if it's your dream ?" and I just stood up there like... oh...
This person said the truth, it's your dream, why do you hide yourself like that from your dream, and it was because of this simple word : FEAR.
But dreams don't come easily, you have to sacrifice yourself and what you love, you cry, you sweat, you scream and it's alright, that's why they are called dreams.
and here I am, first year of medschool even if I still don't know if I will succeed cause you know... the 10%, but at least I wouldn't have any regret ! Cause I tried, I applied to medschool, I worked, I did what I could, and if I can't be a doctor, then It wouldn't be because of my fear but of life itself.
So what I want to say to you is : follow your heart, your pure desire, even if you have a little one that you are hiding, open it, don't hide it and it will come to you.
DON'T HIDE YOURSELF BECAUSE OF YOUR FEAR !
Thanks for sharing! It really helps to know how different people got to where they are.
I guess maybe I just need to commit and ignore that fear of failure haha. Although unlike medschool, music degrees are a bit weird and complicated, so I don’t know how well that might go. But thank you for the great advice, and I’m sure it’ll help other people who see your comment as well!
Thank you for your story and best of luck with medschool!
@@atsurao thank you ! and yeah haha you really have to ignore that fear of failure, that's what keep you down sometimes, it's true that music degrees are a bit more complicated and I'm so sorry I can't help you with that (cause I know nothing about music 😭) but I really hope that you will figure it out, and don't forget, a job is not for life, you can still change your path even after 5 or 15 years.
Best of luck :)
@@tesss_al Thank you! and best of luck to you as well :)
