Motivation is not necessary to do things

hope you can keep us all updated in your second year!

be a narcissist but make it the new world peace trend

I loved this video! your way of speaking is so calming and captivating, and you have really cool takes on these types of topics :3 thanks for uploading !

Weirdly, Temu purchases have helped me define myself with un-branded consumerism. It's all stuff but with no name attached to it. Beautiful things that have no relevance outside the beauty they bring to my room, my fashion, and my self-expression

as someone who has always been in fandoms and internet culture growing up, i've also recently thought about the topic of this video. "who am i outside the things i consume?" so i'm really glad youtube recommended me this video (ironic cause it's a platform that benefits off of our attention and consumerism lol but i guess finding a balance is key but i digress) anyways, thank u so much for sharing your ideas !!! i've wondered so much about this and it didn't even occur to me to "list down my core values" so thank you for sharing that !!!! as a fellow journaler, that is definitely something i'm going to be doing now. i also love when you said we should read books about political theory and stuff we find interesting, i realized one of my core values might include beauty itself and so i would love to read more about aesthetics and how it plays a part in life, not in the shallow hyperconsumeristic sense but in a more natural & grounding way if that makes sense... i also recently came across a quote said by rick rubin “It’s all lies, back to nature the only truth!” - and i think that pairs well with your advice of being one w nature, it really does heal and show you that life is more than pixels on ur screen and comparing urself to random ppl u've never met i love this little corner of the internet that makes me ponder <3 off for a fruitful journaling session now wish you the bestest of days, kind stranger <3

the #deep rap verses scream tyler joseph i'm crying :') this was so tender and i am suddenly remembering thirteen-and-lonely me very fondly

I don’t usually comment on stuff but it seems like we’re on a similar journey with similar interests and you had a lot of lovely things to say! I’ve been really grappling with this subject as well, especially the commodification of subcultures like punk and metal like you said, which is completely the opposite of its integrity. It’s really frustrating but the ethics of punk really resonate with me and all I can really do is put my ass behind my own values despite what everyone else is doing, and try to find people who do this as well. Something that made a huge difference in my life was separating myself from social media, it sounds like deleting TikTok was great for you as well. It’s truly exhausting seeing nonstop advertising and there’s such a huge world out there that we don’t have to miss out on! Personally I’ve found a lot of fulfillment after deleting all my social media and switching to a flip phone. It’s kind of forced me to find different ways of connecting with people and there’s so much out there that I would’ve never found. It’s become a hobby of mine to basically go through life like I’m in 2007 lol, like I started a KZbin and I also found communities of people who make their own personal websites just for fun, I think it’s a really cool way to kind of reclaim the internet and use it as a means of expression/connection without feeling the need to participate in an algorithm that feeds off our consumption. I just thought I’d mention this bc based on your style and outlook on life I think it might interest you. I really love all the videos you’ve posted as well, I’ve been wanting to make videos like that where I just talk about what interests me or the thoughts I’ve been having and I found a lot of inspiration through them, I wish there was more of that in the world/on the internet and it makes me happy to see people creating for creation’s sake. I’m glad you came up on my feed, I just subscribed and I can’t wait to hear more of what you have to say!

Why do u have an iron cross on ur shirt what the hell

when do you think it’s valid to victimize yourself? i always try to look at situations i’m in through a neutral perspective but it’s very complex

this is honestly what i needed to hear. im so close to starting HRT and ill have thoughts of not going through with it cause im anxious to take the leap and change my life. cause it's going to be hard before it gets better. but i gotta take action. thank you :)

For half an year I've been on this journey of self discovery and I can't help but keep wondering what it is that I really want. One of my core values is showing interest in things and learning to see the world through different lenses, to actually see it more and understand it better. But what is it that I am really interested about? Sometimes I feel as though I just want to be an interesting person spouting funfacts about things instead of deeply caring and researching about them. Maybe I just want to be seen as an interested and interesting person, so I fear that I can't live up to my own value of actually being interested in the world. This might also be tied to me struggling with feeling my emotions, like this spark of excitement you feel when you find something interesting and this pull you feel toward researching it or just pondering over it. Maybe this is just nonsense and I'm taking this whole thing wayy too seriously but yeah, maybe someone has or has had a similar experience and might help me understand this

such an interesting topic

Is art consumerism?

I like the way your brain works thanks for sharing

ambition is one of my favorite things to live by. loved this video a lot, this is so needed like now a days especially. to not get lost in all of the consumerism and constant content we are fed

AHHH I HAVE THE SAME FABRIC THING BEHIND YOU! My mum gave it to me from when she was in college (pls keep posting)

This is a fascinating topic and I think it incapsulates the difference between western view of self vs dharmic view of self. We typically look outward to find meaning and that’s fundamentally backwards

"I have this weird trait that I want every thing and value to materialize and merge into my character" this is the literal quote from my diary from yesterday (which would be the date of this video publication). This is so weird that we simultaneously had similar idea, and I live on (judging from your accent) on the other side of the world. It is also very ironic that youtube algorithm (which is made because for consumerism purposes) have recommended me your video. Anyway, keep it up!

You don't need an identity, you just need to live your life.

Hi, you have a great movie taste! Fallen angels is one of my favorites too

I really love how you speak about these issues that our society has about trends etc. It has been on my mind a lot lately and this was really nice to listen to and I can't say anything bad about your way of words and thinking. Keep it up!<3

I never realised how when I think of who I am and defining myself I tend to think of the things I like rather than me as a person . This video really opened my eyes on that! When I saw the title I found it really difficult to define myself past consumerism and this was super informative so thank you :) I'm definitely going to try all of the things you suggested as they all seem really helpful! I'm also trying to educate myself by reading tons of books especially over the summer and the areas that you talked about are definitely on my list! By the way I love your sense of humor and also your room and outfits are super cool :) I hope more people can see your videos because your channel in my opinion is genuinely one of the best on youtube and you talk about things that actually do matter, I think if more people were to watch your videos the world would actually be a better place!

really beautiful video <3

I love watching people from small channels because they speak such cute simple things and I came across your channel today. ❤though its a personal choice I think a person cannot be alone for long ,you just need to find the right people/company. but on the other hand I do agree IT IS important to take care of yourself. so what is right?

this video has such a genuinely comforting vibe! so glad this was in my recommend :) 🌱💫

It's loneliness, not aloneness

Damn I love your videos!!

ahh love the casio f911w!! weird q but how do you hang your posters and prints? i dont wanna damage my walls and yours dont look pinned up

First of love your room! How relatable this video is, I’ve been also reconnecting to myself through music and picking up my guitar after so long. Along with the music I’ve been listening to, playing has been such a natural way to flow back to myself. I wish you luck in joining a band, and this endeavor. Hope you keep going and documenting your journey. ++ also hope you had a good time seeing the garden, they’re so much fun live.❤❤

I too am coming back to music after a long hiatus. There's a time for everything. Never give up!

Seem likes your life :) keep pushing

No music? What a waste.

this was the coziest room tour i ever watched

Hi, There I saw your videos and Analyzing your KZbin channel. your videos are adorable and helpful. People are very fond of it. But I noticed one thing You have enough of the videos but your video does not increase views or subscribers because of some problem with your Channel. Your videos are not SEO'd which is why they are not ranking VIDEO SEO score is very poor (0% out of 100). Which has to be at least 80+ You need to optimize your channel for better results. If you want to Solve this problem and get the Best SEO Score to rank your video then I can do it. You can discuss with me in your free time I’m waiting for your response Thanks…

❤❤

this is beautiful

It does feel like the world that we live in is programmed to be a ticking clock as you get closer and closer to death, and I suppose a lot of people are uncertain or afraid of death which doesn't help. If it feels like there is a deadline then you can become overwhelmed and instead of spending that time "well" (reading ect) you distract yourself from it instead, by things like doom scrolling (like you said!) I guess it's a human thing and maybe normalising death will help in overcoming this. Anyway I love your hair and outfit, you look awesome! Also as I am writing this it is pouring it down, england is so summery :,)

this was weirdly comforting, also your voice is so sweet ahh <3
