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.

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.

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.

7 minutes ago David Choe was just a name I had heard in passing, officially a fan now.

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

this is so important to so many ppl including myself. embracing normality and mediocrity is a beautiful thing

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.

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 👍

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.

you've managed to express whats been rattling in my brain for years. good to see you back, and allowing us in

Incredible thanks DAVID

Thank you David for this video, I deeply relate. The way you edited this.. you turn experience into poetry.

this is creative genius, I am truely inspired

Thank you David. I identify with your struggles mucho mas! What a wonderful reminder honey

I feel very similar being a artist.

this is so therapeutic for me

yoo I love the soundtrack you made as well. art humor hits different

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.

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.

Well that was beautiful and it wasn’t mediocre, it was a masterpiece

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

I love all this Davis Choe content that just hit my KZfaq feed. Fuckin Amen, cowabunga. I like the still picture narrative. Reminds me of Tom Goes to the Mayor a wee bit.

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.

Totally relatable. Thank you for sharing this.

Wish we got these pods

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.

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 ....

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.

This is exactly how I feel.

How tf does this not have more views? I’m confused

Dave needs to get this channel verified or something. It was way hard to find

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

Dave is a true 1 of 1... an absolute original!!

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 KZfaq 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.

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

Read the comments, Dave. You're not only normal...you're loved, dude.

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.

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😥

You are enough. 🔴

Full cover of The Beatles - Yesterday please David.

Best way to describe this video, a Manic Episode color version of La Jetée.

ok this is amazing man ! Time to binge watch all of these

Hhaha loved the ending bro , ressssspekk

Very few times has somebody reached into out and touched me in as closely guarded a place as you just did. Thank you

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.

Funny how i started journaling around the same time you started posting these vids.

Cried to this thanks ♥︎👍

Wow, inspiring Dave

Inspired now though

we need the podcast back david :(((

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.

I have never been so excited to read someone's autobiography

wow... mindblown by you... thank you.

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

I feel this in my core. I really appreciate your work and insight. It’s just real. Thank you

Love yourself. No matter what. On the piece of shit days, on the seemingly perfect days. Don’t ever quit yourself.

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for being real! A man with an untethered soul!

amazing

That was nice

Thank you Dave for everything.

Nothing is the sound of an unstruck bell. Words cannot define that which does not exist.

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.

Thanks. Outstanding as always

its nice to know im not alone

David choe makes the best stuff, whatever he does is awesome.

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.

thank you. i know you dont want to hear it, but thank you for being honest.

Thank you for sharing this, your not alone in this battle and unfortunately this is the heavy price we pay for our creativity.x

This has so much beauty

"Wanting to get high off yesterday" is too real

Thanks dave

Love the honesty & how he sees thru the bullshit & keeps it's raw. Great art ❤👍

thanks for being here

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 🫶🏽

This man is such a jiu jitsu person, just hasn't realized it yet! Come on Dave, let's go!

David, come to Thailand, we need you here. peace.

needed all these

you’re the best thank you for this

🔥Flow & Honesty

Thank you David

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!

It’s ok to rest and go into hermit mode, but get back up!

Thank you

Love ya D Choe. You are the exaggeration of all of the things I like about myself. The me God. I just wish I had your drive. Thank you for your awesome raw takes.
