Philip back at it again with some existential crisis

You're probably the only person who makes these honest, meaningful videos. Thank you for that, especially since we know you don't get paid enough for this. Also, I love the music, I myself make music and therefore appreciate it a lot. It gives your videos a whole different mood, and something even _more_ unique

3kliksphilip: CS:GO. kilksphilip: Philosophy. 2kilksphilip: Both.

Thanks for keeping the quality of your videos up. To be honest, it's really rare to see that nowadays on youtube, and I really appreciate it. Don't be afraid to take some more time off.

*CONFIRMED PHILIP IS GETTING 9-5 JOB*

enjoying observing the fluid physics of real life I see.

Okay, here's a rant: I'm experiencing something in my life now. I got all the spare time in the world, yet I can't help but to feel like I'm wasting my time. It's nice to think that I can finally have a long break. But when I do, like right now I'm just watching KZfaq, it feels like I should be doing work. It's alarming and irritating because for a long time now, I've been desperately wanting a break. One part of me says that I want to rest, but that doesn't make me more happy. In fact, despite how weird it sounds, I really feel more stressed out now as I'm not being productive. Perhaps someone else feel this way, I would be interested to hear.

You know true happiness without feeling sadness; you can't feel true fun without feeling boredom. *Balance in life is key.*

I....... think a big part of the problem with what you're explaining comes from the idea that you're at the "end" of your journey. What?! Finding success doesn't mean you're finished nor are done finding "highlights along the way." You're at a point of sustainability, a point of being well-known, but there should always be new goals around the corner to attack.

Somehow these simple, "not over the top" videos are just refreshing and so much better than most videos on KZfaq

Kinda sounds similar to my profession being a self employed plumber, only, I always feel great, work doesnt feel like work, I love doing what I'm doing as its challenging and stressful enough to not be boring or keep me from getting stale of my work, I'm making people happy as I'm fixing things and getting paid for it. I don't EVER think I could go back to regular 9/5 working at a single place of work. No, never.

This is the most wholesome video I've watched in a while. I don't know if it was the dogs playing, the beautiful scenery or Philips monologue, but it just felt right. I think all of us "need to start doing the things in life that you don't enjoy in order to take more pleasure from the rest of it" Like getting up earlier in the weekends, spending less time in front of the computer, being more social. If anything insperation will change my habits tomorrow, its definitely this video.

Your videos are so relaxing

After everything... I liked kliksphilip the most :)

Philip is great at making you feel the nostalgia of a life you've never lived. He's got that way with words.

To have good days you need to experience bad days. Contrast is important, it's why you suddenly find everything amusing and interesting when you have to study for an exam. You're in a situation you don't want to be in, and suddenly appreciate the little things you never thought of before. If you live in constant bliss, you don't know what bliss is like. It becomes mundane and repetitive. Perfect balance is key.

I've been watching through some of these older videos, and with this whole corona thing going on I and many others have had time to reflect. I have all the time in the word, yet I always feel like I'm missing something or there's something better I could be doing. When I came back to this video, I felt inspired to write a comment. Ironic how I just said there's something better I could be doing, but that's besides the point. Although things feel bad and it's really easy to get absorbed in the negativity, there's still a bit of light that shines through in the next day. I've also come to respect the little things, such as being able to walk to the market without getting looks. No matter how significant something may be, it can brighten my day. It's like a workout; it might hurt in the process but afterwards you feel great. Enjoy Yourself

Thank you for making this video philip. I was compiling an edit while watching this video. I have been watching your CS:GO videos even though I rarely play CS:GO. It's the calming aroma of your voice and the fact that I am pulled by genuine youtubers. The outlooks you have made in this video really hit home. I have just quit my job after tasting a bitter experience with my team leader. I had wanted to be a youtuber for a long while. First, I was unable to do it because I didn't have the equipment. I bought a good enough mic for recording, but I told to myself that my current internet speed isn't fast enough for video uploads and video asset downloads. Me and my dad took a large step and changed our internet provider and had the speed I wanted. I then jumped to making videos, but with the reach I have both on social media and here on youtube, my videos were only getting a couple of views. I thought of making a video where I include my voice, but was too scared due to English being my second language and feared being mocked at. At the end of the day, I realized that I was making excuses. What you said really opened my mind. I also thought that being a KZfaqr is rainbows and butterflies, due to being able to do it at the comfort of your home, anytime you want. But the staleness. The lack of urgency, and especially the ones where you go and try and play a game with that nagging feeling behind your mind. I have a growing library on my steam with nothing to play with. The weekend anticipation that you feel every end of the week. Every point you stated reached inside my soul. I am that typical average joe. I never had a dream in my life. I'm not sad about it, it just kinda worries me that I do not have one. I hope I can be an ounce as good as you being a KZfaqr, or a person as a whole. I never thought the day would come that I would write an essay to a KZfaq comment section. Though this kinds of video you make may be a niche, please don't stop making them, as they may be a very dear video to a selected few.

Bedruthan steps, fond memories of that place

This looks like a 3D physics test world

Monologue so good it deserves to be in a Nolan movie, love the videos mate

its called the hedonic treadmill and it basically means you will never be in a constant state of happiness, i find it helps to look for purpose instead of happiness as its the closest you’ll get

Thanks klicky very cool I liked the dx11 meme hidden in there and this video made me realised that you don't know how much you had till it's gone

Hey Philip, I really enjoy your reflective videos. They definitely help me reflect on my own life.

This is a lot like how during the school year you crave summer, but then a month in to the summer I miss school all over again.

MAN i love these deep videos. They make me feel a feeling no other youtuber makes me feel, it feels human and "warm". Keep making em

Find it so weird when I see Philip in the places I frequently visit like Plymouth or Bedruthan, always gives me good nostalgia to see the places from a different viewpoint. Especially works with the message of the video considering I never think twice about these places until I recognise them myself

That irl video at the beginning and end is sooooooooooo satisfying! Best moment of relaxation on yt I probably ever had

I feel so related with that of not having a routine, and having too much time for videogames, like they've said on the comments it's a balance. I love this kind of videos, it always make me think, and you express yourself perfectly, it also make me laugh with the DX11 in 4:23

im so glad i met you in person. inspiring videos ^^

The moment of realizing you‘ve accomplished exactly what you set out to is a weird one. I completely relate to your feelings when revisiting an old spot. I recently went back home after years of not visiting and the biggest emotion that bubbled up what that of the anxiety that I had felt when I didn't know how to achieve some of my dreams. I knew I wanted to be a software developer but I didn’t know if it would pan out. I had so many worries back then, was I smart enough, was I talented enough, and just fears of failing. All of the anticipation, long nights working, and uncertainty that went into getting to where I am now is what I look back on fondly. Now that I work as a software developer, in a field I always admired no less, I feel only a small sense of accomplishment. I have a feeling I will look back on this moment, years from now, with a feeling of fondness. For the time being though, it just feels like another day. Your comment on doing mundane tasks such as visiting the post office resonated with me. I truly thought that accomplishing what I set out to would make the mundaneness fade away. Of course this didn’t happen though. Part of I think is the ever looming future that awaits, it makes the present always seem inadequate. It feels like I could always be doing more, tackling bigger issues, and pushing myself even harder. These feelings recently cumulated into wanting to start another career while I continue to work in software, in medicine this time. It’s interesting to me because I feel the exact same way that I did when I was just starting out in software. It’s a sense of unknown, uncertainty, and a lot of doubt. I know that I can do what I set out to, I’ve already proved to myself that I can do what I sent my mind to. I guess what I worry about more than anything is that I will feel the same way I do now after I complete school, a small sense of accomplishment but a longing for bigger and greater heights. You have a great way of summarizing a lot of the feelings that I also have, feelings that I think a lot of people have. The path of life and success is strange, we never seem to know where life will take us. Ultimately I think at least one key to happiness is to simply enjoy the journey, both the good and bad times.

This is one of my favourite channels. I learn so much and your thoughts are useful in all kind of fields where you are your own boss. The past few years I was thinking so much about these topics, and I see lots of resemblances. Thanks for the content! :)

I love this type of videos you make. Your thought are really insightful dude

I love these type of videos, mainly because it helps cast my mind on what I can do right in my life, how to change stuff, and fond family memories. lovely

A few hours before this video came out, I was on a walk where I ended up thinking what would happen if I won the lottery and how it would make me so happy and shit, only after thinking about it I just got sad, thinking that winning the lottery shouldn't be the only excuse to do things I want to as well as take risks. I shouldn't justify all of my actions on whether or not I have lots of money in the bank. Great video Philip

Pleasure and suffering are two sides of the same coin. One can not exist without the other. That is what is meant by the phrase, "life is suffering". It's not a defeatist or depressed statement, it's a realization that the desire to have nothing but pleasure all the time is foolish. Ironically, the only way to be truly happy in life is to accept suffering as part of life. Focus on the things you can control, and build the best possible version of yourself living the best possible life that you can.

These are true insights into life in general. Thanks for being so open Philip. Much love.

Love that you are sharing you own concerns which you had while starting out as a youtuber and, most importantly, point out that that success was an unlikely outcome, which you try to appreciate.

Out of all your channels, this one's the one I like the most, also, your music is really cool, keep having fun with youtube and greetings from Argentina!

Every Song in your videos always fits even if I heard them like hundred times already

my absolute favorite youtuber, you always seem to put out thought provoking videos that cover topics that fit right into my current situation, cheers!

I enjoy your videos because they help me realize that there are things more important than obvious gratifications.

I feel like Christopher McCandless said it best: “HAPPINESS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED.”

i was thinking along these exact lines on my way home from work today, and this is the first video i stumbled across when i launched my computer. what a coincidence.

I love videos like this one. Brings so much personality to you :D

Your videos makes me so relaxed

This was really beautiful. Thank you so much. It really does give perspective, and I don't think I can describe how appreciative it makes me.

I don't know what to say...amazing video as always Phillip

As much as I love to hear you speak, I would love to set a video of all the landscape shots you've gotten. The views you capture are just amazing

im allways stunnished because of how amazing your personal videos are , please do more

It's amazing how your (dads) music tracks still are relevant even after all these years I and others have been subscribed to you

What a brilliant and thoughtful video. Keep up the good work!

Oh man this makes me nostalgic of my visit to the Bedruthan Steps. Beautiful place to shoot your DX11 graphics, Philip.

This one man knows a lot about life. Others just run for money

I love your insight about life and your viewpoint of these subject.. Really quality video , keep up the good work !

I love these deep thoughtful videos of yours Philip :)

Videos like these should be shown to everyone in school.

love these kinds of videos

Really love your videos! They always put a smile on my lips when they are released. I want to say that you should do what feels best, but it would be sad without your videos

Philip i love you. This is way too relatable and i've had too much time on my hands so i started thinking about things just like this for about a few years straight but it isn't something that brings me down or anything. I can't figure out how you made the video in such a way that you didn't come across as creepy or anything, it all felt like you were reading my life's log file

That’s so deep bro. Wow. Love it.

I like honesty the most and this video filled me up with joy thank you Philip.

no matter whether you continue or quit, thanks for many great videos you’ve put out so far.

i agree with what you said at the beginning now that I no longer have to go to campus for classes. all classes are on zoom, my studies and hobbies fit into one room. sure I have more flexibility but it takes the joy of coming home from a long day at uni and doing something else for a bit. it has made me less disciplined because I watch classes on the same monitor I play games on, while still being in my house.

One of the best youtubers and persons.

You're my favorite content creator on all of KZfaq. I'd probably die without your videos

you're such an inspiration

Man you make videos that hit home so regularly hahaha

Philip back at it again with some deep stuff

Ahh I love these type of videos, Philip just talking about interesting thoughts of his

I love all the footage of Cornwall and recognising places I've been on holiday is so cool

Your videos feel like a dream to me.

Footage is so beautifully smooth 😍

Kliksphilip, I love you, you're the most down to earth, self critical, self analysing and thought provoking person I have never met. I believe YOU can definitely keep discovering new journeys, KZfaq will not be the end of the line for you. I'm also certain you will find a way to look back on these new, amazing journeys in a darker light...:0

The music you play is not what I normally like yet I like it on your videos. It’s probably because my brain associates it with your videos which are something I enjoy meaning as a result I enjoy the music, especially the song that preludes stories in going low in CSGO

I like your objective thinking style, and I'm watching your videos has affected the way I think, which I'm very happy about. I guess what I wanted to say is, because it might not be obvious, that your videos have very positive effects. Thanks.

I dont play CS go for years, still, I enjoy very much this content! Keep up the good work my friend

That "DX11" made me laugh more than it should have.

You forgot about the feeling when its sunday evening and you know you have to work next morning

Fantastic video. Made me think about my own life.

Holy crap that pile of pillows head-dive was great

This video is a rare gem.

I love your style of video Philip

Don't know why but I love how you just start talking without any intro bullshit

I had to rewatch it more than once at 2:08 because i kept looking for people's reactions and couldn't pay attention to Philip's words

Hey Philip, love your videos, you and I have a similar mindset, thanks for providing!

Phillip, you always help me clear my head. If we ever got the chance, I'd love to sit down and have a chat over freshly brewed coffee.

A lot of people say being a youtuber is easy, but when I think about it, it seems a bit like torture. Doing the things you love every day of your life, until a point where you stop enjoying it. I’ve just finished my exams and for some reason, I don’t feel happy like I thought i would

It's sad how we imagine things to be so much more than they really are.

I love these kind og videos.

I love all your videos :)

The fact that you can have 3 channels and have them all somehow blend but be so different at the same time amazes me. You are truly an artist of our generation.

Without even being a youtuber at all I can definitely agree with a lot of what you're saying.

No matter what you're talking about, your voice will always please me.

Suddenly, it started raining. Ah, it sounds wonderful.

Yay a Video :) thx Phil have a nice Day / Night

Was sensing some foreshadowing with the coastal footage on your latest 3kliks video. Wasn't disappointed.

I found this video really inspiring for an odd reason, in how sometimes getting to your goals isn't exactly what you wanted afterward. A bit counter intuitive isn't it?

Phillip ur a legend, keep being the most relatable dude on this website
