Very good! I found it so inspiring 😮

I know for a fact you r gonna make it big

@@zekbillion490well Zeke only time will tell. I suppose we will find out soon enough. Thanks for your comment and kind words.

You need God in your life. Allah swt.

Good presentation. Very poetic. I relate.

I think this a big factor for many of us. It’s okay to push off or avoid our true ideas for now, but if we were to reach the end of our lives, the pain of regret would be far greater than any discomfort we would feel from trying. It’s difficult, but long-term procrastination will only make us feel worse about ourselves most of the time.

Thank you very much! That’s very kind, and only time will tell haha

Thank you very much and yep that’s all we can do. Dory once said “just keep swimming”.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your comment. Im sorry to hear you’re not feeling the best right now, you’re right, life is hard. You said you used to push yourself to your limits which can be a good thing, but sometimes it’s also counterproductive. As you say, you’re not sure where to go right now, and that’s okay. There’s still time to find your way. I wouldn’t put pressure on yourself to meet certain expectations, as you say maybe you need a break. You could possibly take this time to regenerate and figure out what you actually want out of your life, not just having goals but imagine the best case scenario that could happen to you and try to go from there. If everything went perfectly who would you be? That’s a difficult question to answer, and of course not everything will go perfectly, but from knowing what we want we can start to take one step at a time towards that desired future. Or not, I might be wrong. If needed look towards mental health/therapy services in your country as you may need professional help. I hope you can feel better some day. Take care

Thank you for your comment and your words of encouragement for us all. You’ve done really well to get to where you are. Struggle is real, but you persevered. The days where you don’t want to do anything and you feel defeated are just as important as the days where you feel on top of the world. Everybody finds peace differently, if we are blinded by the dark the only option we have is to walk until we can see the light. To travel through the fog. It’s easier said than done sometimes but I hope we can all hang in there. Thanks again

Thank you very much I’m glad you appreciate it in such a way. I’m grateful for your comment. I tried to experiment a bit more with the structure of this video, rather than just choosing shots that could represent the word or individual sentence but don’t really develop the message. I will try to develop the skill of cinematography more over time, I want to explore ideas that aren’t so common. Thanks again o7

Thanks Robert I liked that one too. You’re my favourite subscriber. Don’t tell the others.

@@ibrahimshafiqq what about me ?!?

@@bluegate4630sorry Bluegate you can be my second favourite. I know Robert in real life and he’s a solid guy. I hope you can accept my reasoning. Thanks for subscribing =)

@@ibrahimshafiqq i subscribed to you cuz i felt guilty getting thanked for something i hadn't done. great video bro keep it up

Maybe one day, maybe not. If my KZfaq channel reaches greater numbers I hope my intentions and overall energy doesn’t change. I decided a few months ago to make the videos for myself, and to share them as a passive offering for others (that’s why I haven’t posted in 5 months, I was rethinking my approach). Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and belief.

Thank you for your comments! I saw your other one “ok I just gave up cuz of this vid” and that’s understandable. I agree burnout is a major factor and this idea of pushing as hard as you can and never back down can be counterproductive. I think this tryhard stoicism mentality has been projected a lot through inspirational/self-improvement content, making us feel that if we take our foot off the gas slightly for a second then we’re weak and we will never achieve anything, which isn’t the case. Like you say sometimes dedicating efforts for as long as possible might build discipline, but it doesn’t always lead to fulfilment or results. If I wanted to achieve a goal, I could put 24 hours a day towards it, but after a day I would pass out from exhaustion. We need balance to thrive. It’s not about sprinting as fast as possible. It’s about having multiple elements of your life aligned to allow you to feel and do better. Rest is important. Enjoyment is important. Work is important. Nutrition/hydration/sunlight/social interaction is important. I’m sorry to drag this reply out, I wanted to end it with an idea that even if you drop your efforts and you decide to watch tv or eat something you shouldn’t or stop trying for a week/month/year, you haven’t necessarily given up. You’ve only given up when you don’t give yourself any more chances to try. Sometimes we do have to let go, but it doesn’t we’ve given up. Maybe your goal isn’t right for you, maybe you just need time to think, maybe you need time to breathe, maybe you just need time to exist, and that’s how you’re getting by for now. Have a good day/night/life. Sorry for the long comment. Thanks again! =)

@@ibrahimshafiqq couldn’t word it better! Thank you for taking the time to answer like that :) keep up the good work

@@Yoyoadventureno worries I’m glad you agree, and thank you very much I’ll try my best haha

I’m grateful for your words and appreciation. I liked the journal pages part too. I can’t really remember how I decided to do that, not that it’s the most original approach but when I’d done the first 20 seconds of this vid I was like “wow that’s cool ‘o’ “. Sound effects help as well, not that I used that many in this video. The different stages and perspectives of ‘someone’, ‘someone else’ and ‘something’ do contrast each other well I think, however I believe I could’ve used my voice more - my speech is generally pretty monotonous so it’s difficult to clearly express different emotions sometimes haha. Then again I could just try harder. Your idea about how myself (and most likely others) have certain expectations of ourselves is a nice concept. It’s like we believe we are capable of more, or we at least want to see what we are capable of. But, if we give up our expectations will never be met, no matter how reasonable/unreasonable they are. This idea of giving up being a privilege wasn’t my main focus. I’m glad you brought this up. For me it was more about how if we truly give up on aspirations and just live day by day with nothing on our agenda our lives would probably start to deteriorate as a result. There’s a bodybuilder called Tom Platz who asked “If you give up on your dreams what do you have left? Nothing! :(“ I’m not sure if this is entirely true, but you get the idea. You are right. To give up and drop all efforts is a privilege. There are people in situations who live and get up every day purely for their family. The father who works 100 hour weeks to bring his family food. The single mother who has 4 young children. People in many circumstances have no choice - they have to keep going because they care for the people around them, and are willing to do what it takes to provide a potentially better future for their loved ones. Sorry if that got a bit dark lmao. Thanks again. Take care.

I agree with you, thank you very much for your words and time. Success is subjective, yet often people suggest that to be successful you need to be rich and popular/famous. I think it’s interesting how you’ve highlighted that everyone can succeed in their own way without having to prove their worth to others. We don’t have to strive for a grand collection of trophies or materialistic possessions, instead we can aim to live true to ourselves whilst considering the wellbeing of those around us. Wow. Thanks again, your comment made me think I appreciate it. As you say, everyone has their part to play and together we can make this existence better for a wider range of people. Of course it’s not necessarily easy or straightforward, but taking one step at a time could provide the potential for a more well-rounded world (not to say it isn’t good in many ways already). Not everyone has to be a big dreamer; choosing to smile at someone can help “save” the world.

This is music to my ears, thank you so much. My general objective is to create something meaningful or worthwhile -outside the box of modern media. It’s not to say I want a huge following, just comments like these from strangers that appreciate some of my ideas is a true gift. I hope these videos can find people that would enjoy and benefit them.

Thank you very much that’s very kind.

No

I’m glad you could relate hopefully in a positive manner. Thank you for your comment. Hope you have a good week. Take care.

Wow, I remember when i was 15, time flies so make the most of it my friend. Also, I wouldn't worry much about being "normal" or "abnormal" compared to others, just try to live in the best way that provides fulfilment for yourself. Thank you for your comment.

Yes dopamine is a key component used to imprison people nowadays. What is the movie about?
