I can’t enjoy things anymore :(

What's killing me is. Whatever I achieve in life... I always end up being alone.

Love the videos man. At 33, it's hard watching friends and family get stuck in autopilot. I've solo travelled on and off for years, and truly believe the mind can only be happy in the routine for so long.

I was really touched by this video...I am 69 years old and am rediscovering "me "again ... we never stop growing

Creativity is enemy of corporate culture. Yes, they will give lip service to it but it's not actually fallowed through in practice. To be truly creative you need to try things and fail. Then fail again, and again and again learning a little each time until something comes of it. In the corporate world they want you to get things right the first time. Failing cost money, and often career advancement so fear rules the day and doing what's safe becomes the norm.

I’m a 46-year-old Gen X’er And I refuse to grow up. I’m a dad, and now a grandpa, but I still love hanging out with my grandkids and playing Legos with them. I might be getting old, but I’ll always be a kid at heart. It is definitely the best thing for your mental health and well-being!

Jesus tells us to be like children I always thought that meant to act crazy have fun .. but really he's saying do you see kids worrying or yelling or cussing or rushing or depressed unhappy .. kids are the best and that's why God wants us to act like children

Love this video! I often find myself missing my childhood, but this is a great reminder that we still have our inner child no matter what. Awesome video for the new year!

Hey Michael, just wanted to say that this really spoke to me...thank you! As im typing this, I'm remembering sitting in a dark hotel room with my family sleeping, but i was up on my laptop editing a sunset picture by the nearby beach. I was honestly amazed by the patterns in the sand and how the shadows added so much depth and character. I was genuinely ecstatic with how the picture turned out. I kinda lost that spark for landscape photography, but now im starting to think about what little trips i could plan to express my creativity through photos. Thanks for all your awesome reminders. Hoping this resonates with others out there feeling lost ❤️❤️

I don't want to grow up

What a lovely way to start the new year. Living on autopilot or being indifferent is a very sad existence. Here's to waking up our inner child and creativity in 2023!!📚🎨📃🍎💚

Beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful new year in 2023.

Thank you. Wish you the best for 2023.

Great video! You tell about finding our inner child and creativity. I think there really is to emphasize, that social media is also a BIG reason why we dont live in the moment as much as 15 years ago, like you described in the video. :)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!!!

I am so glad I found you, thank you for restoring the light in me

Thanks, I really needed this. 💓

This really hit home. Would love more videos like this. Thank you for sharing

What a wonderful message! Respect and admire the fun and positive approach to your videos. Thank you for making such great content!

I love this so much! Thank you so much for the video.

Sunset truly feels amazing man ❤️

A wonderful, magical video. Great introspection and thoughts for all of us to ponder. Well done Michael ❤

Oh my goodness, what a video, thanks so much for bringing us this video, this one really spoke to me and It was just amazing, once again, thank you and love from brazil!

truly love your video!!i felt really seen

Great video Michael. As one of your more "mature" followers (don't know what that exactly means), I have discovered that you never have to give up on experiencing the world from a kid's perspective, constantly exploring new things and experiences. I am a native Los Angeleno, but still finding new things to do. Love your videos, keep it up. Happy New Year.

Michael, incredible video. So well written and edited. I'm just a few years older than you, and it resonated deeply with me. I've been in a bit of a funk lately. A day before you uploaded this, I watched old family videos from when I was a kid. I didn't know why, I guess I was just looking to reconnect with my old self. Coincidentally, I bought a few comics for the first time in like 25 years, because they used to bring me happiness. It's really interesting to read them from an adult perspective now, they have a whole new meaning and depth. So seeing this, it was just in perfect alignment with my own journey. As I was reflecting, I realized that the one year I lived in California a few years ago was possibly where I had happiness in nearly every aspect of life. I am now trying to figure out how I can move back out there, and the plan is to do it this year! I can't let fear hold me back. Thank you for the inspiration Michael!

I’m 13 and I wish I was a kid again so much that I’d trade anything to go back to 2010 and be young

Great video Michael. Love the music in the background as well. Imagination is such a wonderful gift and we should always embrace it, and never forget it. Positivity for sure always. Wishing you a fantastic New Year for 2023.

Wow what an Video!! This Message is awesome. Thx you for this. Wish you a Happy New Year, much Health and a lot of what ever is good for you!!

Amazing video! Great content, keep it up ❤️❤️

Great video to start off the New Year

Nice video and beautiful reminder of life ❤

Such a great message! Happy New Year, Michael.

Hey man this was a nice video. When I visited California I met a man in a diving shop and he heard I was from NJ he said he gave up wearing heavy coats, sweaters and gloves 40 years ago and I giggled and told him that I turn 40 this summer and he said hey California is here for you. Just like how you say this world we live in was made for us all.

What a wonderful, amazing, and touching video mate! Thanks a LOT, it's that reminder I just needed 🎇

Terrific words to hear on the first morning of a new year. Keep going.

I find this as Michael's most provocative video. Some times, an avalanche has started and I was shoved along on crooked paths. Eg. High school, adult transitions were not all wasted, but a reflective learning lessons upon a false tautology to choose only the social ideologies presented when all along, the proper answer was to follow my own.

I felt inspired by this to create a better life thank you

Great video, Michael. One of your best wonderful words of wisdom.

I was trying to look for “moving to LA” videos and I found your channel. I love your videos! 🙏

Beautiful video! Thank you!

Very inspirational, I love this ❤

You are Amazing✨and I Love your content💫Grazie Mille

Love this video

Lovely meaningful video, I wish it were that simple, maybe it's me, anyway I did enjoy your sentiments and wish you the best for the New year from Downunder.

Michael, I really enjoyed this! Words cannot express how impactful and on point this video is for all of us. Makes me want to start drawing and painting again and writing as well. Kudos my friend!

This was beautiful bro

thank you.

Beautiful. 💕💕💕

This video made me happy, temporary

Thanks à lot. I just listened to a seven minute video n I'm inspired

Great Video 👏 Happy New Year

Thank you so much

Excellent video!

Thank you

What if you had a bad childhood, where you didnt have many friends and were bullied?

Very Good video

Thankyou

🙌🏾

You have no worries and responsibilities so your brain 'Bandwidth' isnt get used for anything other than a pure existence. Its like running too much software on a PC, eventually its gets slow and doesn't perform as new

His camera quality is amazing 🤩 💯

I’m crying!!!!!!!! This is so deep, lovely, beautiful! ❤

I loved the part where you said "reenact a scene from Harry Potter using a tree branch as you wand" cause I'm a big fan of "Harry Potter"!🙌 It's been a while I feel bad and bored, nothing makes me happy , I think of everything it could make me happy and alive but I can't find anything ,even going to nature, maybe it'd change my bad feeling just a little bit but that's temporary, I don't know why did I become like this, I really don't know what to do, I recently re-watched the HP series with my family and really enjoyed it but at the end of the movies I got bored again! If there would be something that could make us happy and excited forever, what would it be? what do you think? everybody?

"This all was created for...you!"❤

How should i enjoy when i have to learn 24/ 7 even in hollidays i can t relax

In the book "The Kid Gallagher Story ", you got the feelin here was a guy who knew who he was, and being young, he made the most of his youth! Live for today, tomorrow may never come!
