There will never be another man as honest and as forward as David. I’ve been watching him for years and admittedly at times I’m saddened that I relate to him so much, simply because It’s sad to know that I feel like he does. I wonder if he reads these comments. If you ever read this David, thank you for helping make life a little better. Thank you for being strong and persisting even when you didn’t want to. Every atom and molecule that composes your body is beautiful.
Wow, I love this. Thank you so much. I genuinely love you. Take care forreal man, like forreal. ❤️
Just now finding out about him. He’s awesome
I watch this at least once every week to maintain my mental health.
As an Artist and as a human being, your vulnerability inspires me.
wow every word of this is impossibly relatable… for better or for worse. i actually just yesterday wrote down in my notes “medicine, amends, + build normalcy”
This just healed something in me. Hopefully the bipolar. Amazing. 👏🏼
I think David is speaking truths about our souls that alot of us don't want to admit we can relate with everything he is saying
I have lived this same life. I sometimes feel like a loser for not being able to maintain anything. I also wish I had art that I was confident enough to keep and share. God bless you.
Hi David that was my brothers name he passed early he was a lot like you I miss him everyday I send you love and happiness 😊❤❤❤
What a magical video, tks bro
7 minutes ago David Choe was just a name I had heard in passing, officially a fan now.
This video has become a staple in my mood cycle routine. Thank you for giving me something familiar to come back to and use to laugh at myself with.
this is so important to so many ppl including myself. embracing normality and mediocrity is a beautiful thing
I revisit this episode often since you guys put it out a while back. I guess i just wanted to get high off yesterday. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away ....
Super difficult to stop 🛑 sometimes. Being in nature helps. Chopping wood because you have to stay warm, is exhausting and brings sleep. The city is manic, Rewild yourself. The only relationship I have counted on, is with Source, I never ignore that one.
brilliant, i yearn for that
Real asf
The pain of this is so true. Creativity is often a projection of self and getting there is a sacrifice. Words will never describe why you went on the journey and that’s why the best thing you can do is keep those conversations small. It’s fucking annoying but people want validation. Their day went a certain way therefore yours cannot be too far off right? If your day was totally different than theirs then someone must be going crazy right? Save the difference of opinion for later in the conversation and you are less likely to get smacked with a verbal attack. Doesn’t always work. Some people are just different from each other.
It is weird but after i watch i find myself having David Choe voice in my inner dialogue
@thrutgtruth6810 ikr? Lol
Damn this is a real thing fs 😢
thank you for being super vulnerable... (sometimes I hate using that word vulnerable), but absolutely thank you for normalizing your bipolar episodes. I too am bipolar and a veteran, but I was diagnosed and began treatment while I was in service, although, I was given a diagnosis of manic disorder when I was 17 ( and that was following strenuous growth moments in my life).
I look to art and life can be seen as art, to stay within myself so I don't go through moments of psychosis (not always easy if the outside world, and only we that are going through our episodes can understand those real moments that might seem scary to others), but you are truly one of the bravest warriors to show up as your authentic self in your "crisis."
Yes, help is out there, but it also the responsibility of others not to judge or make judgement if this form of outlet is helping you.
this is creative genius, I am truely inspired
This is exactly how I feel.
this is so therapeutic for me
Thank you for this video. I am Bipolar 1 & everything you said in this resonated with me. It means a lot to hear this from you as I am a huge fan of yours. We also have the same birthday & I , too, am a bipolar genius artist. Thank you again.
Thumbs up America! 2007 was a very Good 👍 year and I saw these episodes on Hulu. Very good to see you again in 2023. Much love. You are Great 👍
Hhaha loved the ending bro , ressssspekk
Incredible thanks DAVID
Well that was beautiful and it wasn’t mediocre, it was a masterpiece
ok this is amazing man ! Time to binge watch all of these
you've managed to express whats been rattling in my brain for years. good to see you back, and allowing us in
Totally relatable. Thank you for sharing this.
So cool you're so honest about this. When I'm manic I'm too chaotic, highly associative, constantly searching subjects, opening new tabs, getting mentally clogged. I hope you have people in your life that recognize your signs and see you for who you really are. Not just you when you are manic. And love you either way.
Metamorphosis, can be done as many times as you want to. I hope today everyone is finding that balance, even if just for one day. It's also okay to have those stinky days too, ah stink.
ahhh stink ☺️ thank you for your positive wishes and may you find some peace and balance today too
HALITOSIS
I’m bipolar as well. thanks for your radical honesty and mad genius.
Thank you David. I identify with your struggles mucho mas! What a wonderful reminder honey
Creatively but also personally I have been stuck in this hole of intensity and despair as my inherent mania has been seemingly ramping up over the course of this past couple of months. I needed to hear this today. Gratitude, David.
So on point and I'm leaving this comment so that I remember this video.
Wish we got these pods
There’s no way for me to say this without being cringe. But sometimes I feel like David is the only person that can understand me. Or that I’m similar to. Or maybe he’s just the most vocal. I don’t feel like a weird fuck when he’s rambling. It’s my own thoughts. Or very similar atleast. Always has been… for years.
I feel very similar being a artist.
I learned about you right after my second mayor manic episode, by that point i had lost jobs, frinds, home, i was lost
I came back to new york with $400 and i found a room for rent for $100 a week, but i was resourceful, and before the first month and the $400 were over i found a job at the museum of sex on 5th ave were i found this book called snowman monkey BBQ
And it changed my life for ever, the devine nonchalant, suspencion of disbelief
I worship at the altar of nonesence
amazing
Thank you David for this video, I deeply relate. The way you edited this.. you turn experience into poetry.
David, as a korean woman, I love your voice and I use to see you on Joe rogan. But then I watched beef yesterday. It was you that I felt watching. It was great and I loved it. Thank you so much. I would love to hear your voice and acting on and on.
thank you. i know you dont want to hear it, but thank you for being honest.
I love all this Davis Choe content that just hit my TH-cam feed. Fuckin Amen, cowabunga. I like the still picture narrative. Reminds me of Tom Goes to the Mayor a wee bit.
I love this so much
I'm hooked on that exhilarating creative high, longing for its return like a caffeine addict craves their morning brew. Have you cracked the code? Or maybe I'm just indulging a slightly unhealthy obsession... As an isolated artist who surfs waves of manic creative euphoria, your videos are a beacon in my solitude. They remind me I'm not alone in this beautifully chaotic journey. Thank you for existing in this time with me.
Not to sound crazy but the shamans in Mexico summoned you for a reason It’s the butterfly effect I would have never found out about your TH-cam channel! I will never ever know how low you’ve been or what you have been through on a personal level. But fuck man I resonate on a spiritual level and I genuinely thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. It takes a weight off of my soul knowing I’m not the only one. You are seriously an inspiration. I wish you peace and love.
dave you a hero XD i so feel this shit. Brains are hard.
David I need more of your videos in my life. More than 3 in 8 years. So glad to see this. Love always - another Dave
He’s been making one a week!
yoo I love the soundtrack you made as well. art humor hits different
Great video. It really hit me deep right now. Feeling confused lately. Feels like it is getting better but sometimes feels like it gets worse in different ways too. Glad to hear somebody understands. Brain is puzzling sometimes. Feels difficult to get outside of it and look at yourself. Thanks David.
Dave is a true 1 of 1... an absolute original!!
Read the comments, Dave. You're not only normal...you're loved, dude.
Your a nice guy who got very lucky.
Help people - help change and design. The world
David, come to Thailand, we need you here. peace.
needed all these
Very few times has somebody reached into out and touched me in as closely guarded a place as you just did. Thank you
wow... mindblown by you... thank you.
Dave needs to get this channel verified or something. It was way hard to find
I also have the terrible gift of manic depression, this video hit me hard, it was ugly but beautiful, paradoxes. i feel like my life is a paradox sometimes with BPD, thank you for this
Feel that.❤
This man is such a jiu jitsu person, just hasn't realized it yet! Come on Dave, let's go!
Nothing is the sound of an unstruck bell. Words cannot define that which does not exist.
Thank you for sharing this, your not alone in this battle and unfortunately this is the heavy price we pay for our creativity.x
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for being real! A man with an untethered soul!
I have never been so excited to read someone's autobiography
Cried to this thanks ♥︎👍
That was nice
oh shit this hit my heart, as and struggling artist that is dealing with depression i can relate, damn i wish i have the guts to express like David, one day just one day😥
Love yourself. No matter what. On the piece of shit days, on the seemingly perfect days. Don’t ever quit yourself.
David Choe will have the densest post posthumous retrospective in art history.
i dont know why this is great art but it is great art.
like a calm summer day that is interrupted gracefully by a massive mf gust of wind blowing all the tree leaves around n stuff, chaos in the leaves and peace in the mind
its nice to know im not alone
GOOD MUSIC - HOLYGHOST MADNESS
In the heart of the night
Banging my mind on that pipe
Whispering words in my head
Do I talk to the dead
From bottles, needles and lines
Trying enlightenment through the night
Search for meaning, poor soul
Don’t you know that ain’t Rock’n’Roll
Oh nooooo
That ain’t good music
Oh nooo
You’re not creative
Oooh no
You’re so disturbed
Oooh no
You’re just a devil
False claim made me lame
In filthy lies you abide
Immature, insecure
True, you got in my mind
Not for long, hear this song
Found a place where to belong
Even though I was so wasted
By a miracle I got saved
Oh yeaaaah
Do you hear my music
Oh yeaaaah
Do you feel the hatred
Oh yeeeah
You sure you can stand it?
Oh yeaaah
Have you seen the devil
TRADUÇÃO: In the heart of the night
Banging my mind on that pope
Whispering words in my head
Do I talk to the dead
From bottles, needles and lines
Trying enlightenment through the night
Search for meaning, poor soul
Don’t you know that ain’t Rock’n’Roll
Oh nooooo
That ain’t good music
Oh nooo
You’re not creative
Oooh no
You’re so disturbed
Oooh no
You’re just a devil
False claim made me lame
In filthy lies you abide
Immature insecure
True, you got in my mind
Not for long, hear this song
Found a place where to belong
Even though I was so wasted
By a miracle I got saved
Oh yeaaaah
Do you hear my music
Oh yeaaaah
Do you feel the hatred
Oh yeeeah
You sure you can stand it?
Oh yeaaah
Have you seen the devil
No coração da noite
Explodindo minha mente em um cachimbo
Palavras sussurradas na minha cabeça
Será que falo com os mortos?
A partir de garrafas, agulhas e linhas
Tentando a iluminação através das noites
Procurando por significado, pobre alma.
Não sabe que isso não é Rock’n’Roll?
Ah, não
Isso não é boa música
Ah, não
Você não é criativo
Ah, não
É tão perturbado
Ah, não
Você é apenas um diabo
Suas falsas alegações me deixaram fraco
Em mentiras imundas permanece
Imaturo, inseguro
É verdade, entrou na minha mente
Mas não por muito tempo, ouça essa música
Encontrei um lugar onde pertenço
Mesmo eu estando muito drogado
Por um milagre eu fui salvo
Ah yeah
ouve minha música?
Ah, yeah
Você sente o ódio?
Oh yeah
Tem certeza que aguenta?
Oh yeah
This has so much beauty
Best way to describe this video, a Manic Episode color version of La Jetée.
I feel this in my core. I really appreciate your work and insight. It’s just real. Thank you
Heart to heart David, I’ve been diagnosed for over a decade myself with BP 2. I can’t express to you how much I relate to this one. I know the feeling of that possession taking over. I will obsess during manic episodes and think about one particular subject constantly for a month or two and be checked out of everything else for long periods of time. They say most people with BP have ADD/ADHD, but I don’t know that’s the case for me because it’s hyper focus on one thing and nothing else, but there isn’t much for OCD traits either. Sometimes, I don’t know what I fear more, the mania or the depression. The mania feels great when it’s here, especially when you’re producing something with it, but I know that high will turn to a crash soon enough. I can honestly say there may be half a day between a peak and a low where I might be normal. It’s a straight shot all the way up and a straight shot all the way down when I’m swinging. I’m medicated, I’m married, I’m a father, I work, and just about everyday I still ask myself how in the fuck I’ve managed to actually maintain enough stability for any of it with how severe it can get despite the meds. I’m familiar with the pass, genius or otherwise, but despise the reasons they give for the pass because I don’t see value in myself worthy of any passes. Maybe this isn’t a super relevant for instance, but it illustrates the level of difference in what I see my worth as versus what others see; I locked my keys in my car one day, I borrowed a lockout kit from a coworker (work at a shop), it wasn’t working out for me, no money or insurance to pay for a locksmith or tow company to come out. I grabbed my 10 lb. hammer and put it through the rear windshield to get into my car. Every last person I work with said something along the lines of, “why didn’t you call me and ask for help?” Might think it was pride, but it was a lack of. I told them I didn’t think I was worth any of their time to come out or worth their money to have someone come out, and to be honest I’d still do it the same way if it happened again anyway because I still feel that way even though I’m on an up right now. I hear kind words, I legitimately think they don’t know what they’re talking about; because I feel like if they did, they’d think of me the same way I do. I don’t know if you’ll ever see or read this, I don’t know if you’d even have made it this far if you opened it in the first place, but it was important to me that I say something.
I start therapy on Monday. I have been finding myself in manic states for about 5 days out of the week. I have been this way since 13. I am just now starting to fix myself. I have been extremely inspired by Dave. without his art, I fear I would be stuck this way forever. Thank you Dave.
good luck! therapy has been very helpful for me, so i hope it helps you, too.
Funny how i started journaling around the same time you started posting these vids.
we need the podcast back david :(((
Full cover of The Beatles - Yesterday please David.
Sweet. I am 23. I am wanting my mania back, maybe I shall create after it ends. But first I want it to pay a visit
Everyday. Overflowing and overcrowding what's left up there. Like a cassette you keep recording over again and again and again and the original recording is only a whisper. Be moderate.
"Wanting to get high off yesterday" is too real
this made me feel like i am bipolar bc this how i exist. david choe, ive been listening to your words as of late. i just have to say, coming from my mother who was an immigrant and everything you've accomplished in life, it makes me feel like i can be my own version of david choe one day. I am currently attending Parsons school of design in nyc and i am going down a path similar to the ones you have been through. I am 20 years old, i feel as though i have had an incredible amount of extreme experience both on the positive and negative end. consistency with anything in my life has been my biggest struggle. listening to you the past few days has started to give me hope for my future and the things i might be able to accomplish in life. I really hope to achieve what you have achieved in life and possibly more. I believe in myself more than most but often times i feel like shit about myself and it really takes a toll. idk why im writing all this, maybe so you might see it, who knows. I feel kind of like im just venting right now and it feels good. I wish there were some way for me to do an internship program with you or be able to have you as a mentor in my life. I just feel as though there are so many parallels to the way you think and act that are like reminiscent of my life and how i act. so imma j end all this by saying thank u.
Doin a lot better. Thx Dave
David choe makes the best stuff, whatever he does is awesome.
I just want David to do a dc comic where all the characters are just drawn as there colors with really simple designs and shapes representing the characters.
Thanks for this message!
You are so welcome
thanks for being here
Thanks dave
you’re the best thank you for this
It’s ok to rest and go into hermit mode, but get back up!
Thank you David
David, we have similarities.. I connect with you. Love you, brother. Youre 1 of my favorite people on earth.
Keep pushing Never stop reaching for that light at the end of the tunnel. You will make it if you keep your chin high and be in the present moment. It was hard for me to get my life back in motion after a 2-3 month period in which everything crumbled down around me but being in the present staying focused on my goals for today and just being myself again was what saved me. Stay true to you Dave and keep up the amazing work! much love 🫶🏽
How tf does this not have more views? I’m confused
wow man this is the first video/solo pod I've heard from David. I hardly know much about him just that he's an amazing artist. but so many of these words I can relate to as a creative and this editing is so unique I love this thank you!
Thank you.
I feel this and I thank you! ❤️🩹
really great video, man
