13. Feeling Lost

[@OliWhite]

Im excited but also terrified of the future.

[@woodstiger622]

I agree

[@JensVanDeAarde]

the future doesn't exist

[@ninipz]

I'm 23 and I've been feeling lost for the past two years. I have no motivation or inspiration in my life. I don't know what I'm passionate about and I don't know what I want to be doing in the future. I recently started a new job and I know it's not what I want to be doing long term but I'm reminding myself everyday that it's only temporary and to work hard regardless. If you're reading this and are feeling lost, don't give up. Know that you're not alone.

[@Nimbleful]

I relate sooo much. In my search for passion, I'm looking towards my hobbies / what I do in my free time to gives clues to what I'm passionate / inspired about. I found that helped guide me a little - maybe it can be helpful for you too : )

[@ninipz]

That is great advice and very helpful! Thank you :)

[@Nimbleful]

[@ParisMilan4]

I feel the same way and i am 22. Its like everybody is expecting me to be something really soon and i have no idea how to tell them i am lost. i don't even think they'll understand what that means, everyone around me seems like they got their shit together

[@ninipz]

April Seifu I feel the same way...it seems like everyone around me has their shit together too. It's hard to tell friends/family that you're lost because you're right, I don't think they'll understand

[@HarryHitchens1]

im fucking terrified, if i'm honest. i've always been a pretty capable person or at least seemed that way and I have a lot of experience for my age. everyone assumes i'll be fine but i keep questioning whether i will be. i give out the same advice as you: work hard at something you're passionate about. i have to ask myself why i'm doing a degree... the reason is fair but irritating. i want nothing more than to be free to do what i want but at the moment it seems problematic. i want to be a creative and live off that profession - something that's proving harder and harder, every day. that was awfully bleak, but it's what i feel sometimes.

[@imipayne1]

Trust me I feel the same. Im always told that im capeable and level headed,and I give advice to everyone around me, but myself. I guess thats the fun of life, as wwll the scariesst fucking part. Where the hell will I be in 5 years, will things have worked out. Will this test really affect a job in 2 years time

[@yoginij]

You're not alone. I feel the same and everyone else around just seems to have their shit together while I'm confused af.

[@JasmineV997]

holy crap i didnt know there were so many people who felt the way i did too. I'm a senior and i always get the "dont worry you'll figure it out" Like what if i cant and that scares me. I dont want to work in a dead end job that i hate everyday but I also dont know what it is that I truly love. Its frustrating and scary seeing all my friends get accepted in to college and I still have absolutely no idea what i want to do

[@secre7]

Same...

[@rachna6379]

Jasmine V Jasmine I feel the exact same way you do! It's scary but thankfully, this too shall pass. :)

[@jacobdixon4596]

The question of "where is my life going" seems to haunt my everyday life as i'm in my last year of university. I've done 17 years of education and i'm about to be set free to the 'real world' feeling more lost than ever with really no clue what i want to do or where i want to be. I have come to the decision however that this is not a problem. How can i possibly be sure what i want to do with my life at this point in time, i have been so constricted by education and trivial worries as a teenager and just general growing up that i haven't had chance yet to discover who i am as an individual. I haven't had the time to see what the world has to offer yet, my perfect life and job may be in a small town in venice or a city in australia and i will never know this unless i actually explore and see what is out there, as well as meeting so many people along the way who all have a life story of their own to tell and lessons to teach that will change my perception of my own life and carve me into a more mature well rounded person. Someone once said to me once that the best thing you can do is find that one person who is doing your dream job and follow the same path they did or pursue them personally and you'll find a way to get there. But, i haven't found that yet, the person or the job and the thing is, it may not exit yet. We live in a digital world now where everything is changing so quickly and the power of the individual is becoming stronger and stronger, particularly in the creative arts. I feel like so many people just settle for something that actually they don't want in life because it's less scary than trying to pursue a dream. Education and 'the real world' seems to drain this once childlike aspiration we all once had where you believed you could do anything and the world was your oyster and i think this is what i'm worried about most, i just want to, whilst i'm young and have no commitments or real responsibility to just go out there and dream big, live a life with no direction, make mistakes, learn from them, meet lots of people and go through lots of jobs in different places till eventually i find out who i am and what i really want to do even if at the end of that long life journey it's just owning my own little coffee shop by the beach, if it's right for me and makes me happy then no one can tell me otherwise whether it's what i should be doing. Sorry about the rant but it's been on my mind, hope there is some sense in this.

[@ajmalh456]

I rather enjoyed your little rant, I was also once told this same think about finding someone who is my inspiration, someone who I want to become, well actually haven't found them yet, and in life, I just feel like everyone is so fixated in just working that they don't just stop and think about what life really is and feel the moment, I want to experience things, travel, meet new people like yourself, but im young and im stuck in a cycle of 'Work' and this mind set that you must get a degree, you must get a well paid job, you must get married, and so forth, people don't do what they want, I JUST WANT TO LIVE. and be happy and have peace within myself. Good luck to you bro!

[@ParisMilan4]

Thank you for sharing!

[@erikvanconover]

I am 25 and can totally relate. A good friend of mine gave me this advice when I moved to New York City last year. When I'm feeling lost it helps me to put it all into perspective: Move forward openly with curiosity and amusement with your passions rather than with demands and hopes. Don’t expect it to go as planned but know that the unplanned may lead to the best later. Hope this helps anyone

[@Noor_T_98]

[@kerrybaker3537]

OK so here it is i'm 23 years old i knew what i wanted to do when i graduated high school, enrolled in university and started. Half way through my second year i had a mental break down and wanted to drop out, cause it wasn't want i wanted to do at all. I started online courses got on the path which i loved. I got into psychology and had a great job opportunity with provincial police and then this june i was in a major accident and almost lost my foot so the provincial police released me from my job. i thought all was lost and i was failing my life. I am now working a job in the psychology field and absolutely love it. So yes we all hit bumps in the road we never know what we wanna do with our lives or we do know what we wanna do but turns out its not for us. When life closes one door another opens!

[@itzdjdannyb]

My advice : Go challenge yourself this week to do something you've never done before. Because when you find yourself out of your comfort zone that is where you will really progress. 😊

[@MiraNemcik]

Oh maaaan you are my hero because you just quoted 505, one of the most beautiful songs eveeeeer *sobbing*

[@xButtFacee]

Super lost. During my junior year, people say it's the time you should plan out everything and know what's happening. But I feel completely lost. However, this video was comforting and the comments make me feel not alone as well. Thank you for that guys.

[@ItsPimwa]

I was feeling so down and then I found your video. Thank you for saving me.

[@bellalouise3554]

Will inspires me...he talks about things most you tubers don't speak and treat seriously.💜

[@RitaaLeci]

You know what I love so much about your videos, Will? The fact that most youtubers produce content which is on a superficial level (not a bad thing, but the content isn't thought provoking and capable of affecting my life) but your videos are completely different. You actually talk about some of the most important things in life, and the way you approach them is so interesting and captivating. I love your videos more and more every time I watch one. I am certain that you will carve yourself the right path in life and I wish you all the best of luck xxx

[@TheRyanLamont]

I'm lost in a forest, but I think I've found a path for myself.

[@PhoebeGrigor]

Inspirational stuff.

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

If you can hear a road go towards it, try to find an adult that can get you home, don't take candy from strangers though..

[@yecows12]

What about ice cream

[@ImJaninee]

Thanks for sharing this and being so honest Will, it's nice to hear you say these kind of things and read other people's comments. It makes me feel less anxious about not knowing what i'm doing.

[@emmacadavieco5330]

i am 16... i dont know what to do with my life. i constantly feel as though i dont have my own say in my own life. im scared for the future but then again who isnt. i want to be able to make decisions for myself but feel like people put me down a lot. people constantly ask why i look sad or angry all the time, and ive come to realize that the reason is that im so done with what the world has given me for the answers to my questions that ive stopped looking for reasons to be curious and so it shows outwardly. im scared. but watching these videos have given me a sense of curiosity once again. i find myself smiling more often and seeing the bright sides of things. im scared but im also happy. thank you Will. :)

[@laura]

Life can be terrifying at times, especially at those moments when you stop having a 'path', leaving school, finishing uni etc. I just don't worry about it, better to enjoy the moment and work towards your goals than live stressing about the future.

[@myrtolefk]

I feel so much like this!!! I'm 19, currently in my second year of university studying English and I just don't know what I'm doing! I know that I'm not where I want to be but I also know that I'm doing something in the direction of where I want to go so it's really complicated! Ever since I started shaping the world around me I've wanted to not live here in my city and my country and everything I've done from a very young age was towards that direction and now my studing english is the closest to what I want and who I am but I am still in my country and I still don't travel and I'm not happy and I'm not fully the person that I want to be. I am content with what I do and who I am knowing that every day I get closer to the ideal me but still I'm afraid that this "ideal me" will never happen and I'll just spend my life waiting around for things to change and for me to change. And I'm afraind that I'll compromise with what I have (which frankly isn't that bad) and not become what I want just because there are easier ways. I don't like to plan things because I could change my mind but if I don't maybe I'll just get carried away by life... Lately in particular I've been feeling better but more lost because I've started realising things about life and about the world and myself and that's good and I'm trying to define if what I'm doing is right and what really matters to me in my life. It's just that I want to do so many things but I do so little because of probably hypothetical limitations that I think exist but really don't and yet are there because of circumstances. I really just don't know I don't even make sense... Anyway great video! :) You always seem to perfectly capture what I'm feeling.. :)

[@terezavacurova]

I may or may not have just watched 26 videos of you in a row. You´re so incredibly wise and intelligent. You got me thinking several times. Thank you for you Will.

[@TheReelCorner]

Your videos continue to impress me so much. And this topic is exactly what I've used to redesign my channel to support my love for storytelling, emphasising a sort of 'filmmaking-vlogging' hybrid. It makes me happy, and I'm pursuing it. With success, it seems.

[@hefraze]

It's funny how someone who lives thousands of miles away can be feeling the exact same way you are. It's nice to know that there are people going through what you are going through. I'm 21, and I question my dreams everyday. I suffer from anxiety so putting myself out there has never been any easy task. But, watching this and reading other people's comments is definitely encouraging. Great job as always, Will :)

[@randomjasmicisrandom]

I am 47. To answer your first question, do I look out the window and wonder if this is what I want? Yes. Regularly. In fact almost every day. I once had two pet Hamsters. One was called Epi, the other was called Diddymouse. There is a joke in there if you want to look for it. Am I scared? No, because I have a wonderful woman in my life who gives me direction, purpose and ambition. And yes, I know that makes me incredibly lucky. Was I scared when I was 16? Nope, I knew I had to get out of where I was growing up (Slough) and I did. I now live in York and Gütersloh and yeah, it's all gravy.

[@lucydiamond574]

This is a great comment.

[@yoginij]

This is inspiring

[@randomjasmicisrandom]

Thank you :-) I find Will and his friends inspiring, so I hope he sees this and feels better.

[@Nimbleful]

hehe epididymus :) I was curious though, how can a woman (or anyone outside yourself) give you direction and purpose? do you mean she literally say: go and do * this * ?

[@xButtFacee]

This comment made me so very happy. Although I'm as lost as Will explained in this video, your comment just made me happy.

[@sarap2777]

Seeing someone who I consider a role model, feeling exactly how I’m feeling makes me feel really less lonely. Thank you will

[@JemelOneFive]

*I needed this*...I am clueless but I believe in the universe. I know if I keep a level head and just work hard that something will arise. No idea what but like you said I think Ive found happiness in not knowing. I know the area I want to work in I just need to get myself there... So I create and try to educate myself and push forward everyday because...*that's all I can do*

[@alastairpoole2954]

What I love about Will's videos is that they are so relatable. It's kinda refreshing to see someone on KZbin talking about actual issues that lots of people have/face. I'm sort of in a position where there are so many paths I could pursue, but I just can't decide, and find it difficult to commit to one thing. I used to have dreams of being successful and having lots of money. Now I just want to have independence and be happy :)

[@safario_]

My favorite KZbinr for sure! I love the way that you are "different" than the most "big" youtubers. You are so much more talented than the most of them to be honest (no hard feelings) and you deserve even a bigger audience ! :) Love- Kacper

[@Kimtrovert]

There are two reasons I love this channel: 1) The comments have real depth to them & create conversation. So Will's subscribers, thank you for that. 2) Will, of course. I think you just speak from your heart, but when you're doing that, you're speaking the same words that all of us are dying to scream. I know a lot of people say find what you're passionate about & do it. Well what if you don't know what that is? Obviously you keep searching, but it's just a struggle for a teen, 20-something like myself, 30-something, etc to think that these are the years we need to decided the rest of our lives. It's terrifying...and I think I rambled a bit.

[@gabbabbles2849]

I would just like to say that you have a knack for making things clear or seem more real. Thank you for that.

[@JovanaMiljanovic]

I cried my heart out today, just felt really sad and lost. This video made my smile. Thank you.

[@LiiesjeLiisiious]

I'm stuck in disaster scenarios of 'what if'. Manly what if I fail at life, and at succeeding? There are so many changes that I want to make, so many dreams I have for my future, and so many ideals for goals to achieve. The only problem is... I'm stuck. Where do I begin? Who do I want by my side on the journey? So many questions, and only one answer: You don't know if you don't try... And the sad thing is, I know this. I already have the answer. But this never ending what if-spiral of disaster holds me back, like the glass between a closed cupake store holds you from getting that sugary deliciousness. This causes me to stop before I've even started. So now I'm stuck. Frustrated - very frustrated - and stuck. Because I'm too afraid to fail at something I haven't even done yet. And I feel like I can't start writing a new chapter of the book that is called 'life' on my own. Just like the closed cupcake store, I need someone else to unlock the door. But, as many before me, I'm just taking it one step at a time, and figuring out - on my own pace - how to get there, without anyone to 'hold my hand'. And so this is my advice to anyone who is also feeling stuck: Slow down. When life is going too fast for you, just slow down. Do it whenever you're ready, take time to think, to evaluate. Get to know yourself, who you are, what you want, and then start walking again. Don't rush yourself, because you only get one chance at life. So live it on your own pace.

[@kdawg5000n1]

I've given up on the search, dropped out of school and am now just doing it, whatever it is. I'm just happy that I'm happy. Sometimes you just have to throw all your hopes and dreams out into the atmosphere and see which one catches.

[@tylerswintosky2011]

I really appreciate every thing you do on your channel. Every thing you talk about makes me think. I love every thing your doing , don"t change for anyone . Please keep doing what your doing. :)

[@marynajour5083]

I was just thinking about how lost I'm feeling in my life at the moment and then I scrolled down in my subscription box and found this. Will, every time you make a video, I feel like it targets me..like we seem to be on the same page about life and general things. Very strange considering I don't know you and you don't know me..haha BUT I just wanted to thank you for making videos. I feel like someone actually gets me. :)

[@maryyazlyan221]

Its just hard... growing up in a society where we are pressured into picking one career, one social class, one road it. I don't understand why we cant support each other to change what we all hate so much. Why cant we change the way jobs are created? Why cant we change the way the school system is set up? Why does your career define your success? I guarantee a corporate attorney is not satisfied with the amount of hours he puts in reading about one case. The thing is that he still does it. Why? Why do we have to live in a society where we have to accept the way something is even though it makes everybody unhappy... I don't understand how this works. Will, you shouldn't be lost. what you are meant to do was create content like this. You sparked inspiration in myself, something that I didn't know was there; and for that I say thank you. You are supposed to lead a life to make people think. Take pictures, make videos, create and inspire not only yourself but your audience :)

[@IbrahimIbrahim-dm3tw]

If you are still active on KZbin can I ask how is life I hope all is well for you

[@byeam_]

I try not to worry to much about the distant future. I worry about it and it also scares me, but I always try to put that behind and enjoy the present and the immediate future. Life can change so much that to me it seems stupid trying to plan your hole life, maybe the future disappoints you. Right now I'm at university and I'm happy. I enjoy what I'm studying but I have no idea what it's going to be next. The only thing I want it's to move to the UK. I want to try to do a lot of things: I want to write, I want to travel, I want to try to do some photography (even I don't think I'm really good at it). The most important thing is to enjoy life. Sometimes I feel lost because I don't really know what my life is going to be about, it's kind of exciting and scary. Will, you will find your way somehow. You're talented, your videos show it so don't worry too much. Love xx

[@ClashingCharacters]

I entered my 20s this year, which was very scary time for me. At the time I thought I had to know exactly what I was going to do with my life. So I made a bunch of rash decisions, and consequently crashed and burn into an unhealthy mental state. Now I’m picking up the pieces and trying to just live and not think about the ‘bigger picture’. Of course, it’s important to think about the future, but I think it’s better to think about in a broad sense. Like you said you could end up living on a boat in the middle of sea. Let's face it, no one really knows where they'll end up.

[@jillianholstad2467]

Will is always so honest. One of my favorite things about him

[@palakpandya5668]

I'm only turning 15 this year, but your video has gotten me thinking. And now I'm very stressed. Well.... this is, uh, great. I mean, I know what I want to do with my life, but it just stresses me out every time this topic comes up.

[@maheenkh4213]

I'm 16, one word. existential crisis 😅😅

[@palakpandya5668]

Mahi K Haha, I guess we all go through things like that

[@pedroaquino8035]

+Mahi K indeed... i'm 17, about tp turn 18, doing a mechanical engineering major, don't know if it is what i want to do, don't know what i should do, don't think that i'll ever do know. just go and live... everything else will kinda sort itself out 😉

[@chelseawilliams945]

The fact that this video opened with 505 lyrics makes me so happy. This video was also really awesome, Will!

[@Xplreli]

I'm only fifteen but I'm so confused and lost. I have no idea what I want to do with my life. That makes things really hard because I feel like right now is the time I should be trying to figure out my goals and how to achieve them. The time I should be trying new things, taking opportunity and setting these goals but I don't even know we're to start. I feel like I'm just floating through life not knowing we're I'm going or what I'm doing.

[@kristenmullen7718]

This is the same way I feel about attending university currently, and you put those feelings into words I couldn't form, thank you for that.

[@navifairy]

found you through joe sugg. and glad i did. im sure youre channel will grow and have a million subscribers in no time. keep up the good work ^^

[@shutupcharl]

I'm 17, very soon to be 18 and I have no clue what I want to do with my life. I know I want to travel a few places around the world, experience new things and hopefully make a difference along the way. However, having a good career allowing me to do this is something else. I don't know what job I want or even what job I'd like to have. I wish things weren't so stressful. This was a great video, Will! It's nice to know I'm not the only confused one. Also, you come across as such a nice, calm, intelligent and fun person - I wish I had friends like you! Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing a fantastic job.

[@liberty4005]

I guess I want to blame the pressure we have to 'sort your life out' but then again we are encouraged to take a moment to 'sort your life out' take a break, don't rush into anything. I don't know if that made sense? But yes, I am scared. I just started college and I feel as though it's all going way too fast, I'm not in control of time and life and the responsibilities that are thrown at you when you leave high school. But then on the flip side if there was a book, a dummies guide or simply google answers to explain to you how to sort your life out then wouldn't that be extremely uninspiring and disappointing?

[@emmaadamova1146]

I like that, it's a interesting point of view :)

[@HippeRomy]

About the last sentences , you're right !! I think it would be very boring when you already know what is going to happen in your whole life ! X

[@liberty4005]

Exactly! + thankkks!x

[@jacobthompson6139]

I love how open and honest you are in your videos. It's so refreshing to see a channel that is just real. I love it.

[@Alyssa18633]

Turning 20 is the worst thing ever. It's like 'alright I'm in my 20s now. Time to get my shit together and think about my future' when in reality I have no fucking clue what I'm doing with my life, what I want to do, & also still act like a 16 year old.

[@mary3667]

The beginning of this video. One of my favorite songs ever, mixed with Will's hilarious psychobabble. Love it so much!!! xxx

[@TheNiennaTasartir]

Everyone is lost sometimes. Maybe the right way of living is just fiction and we are all doing it wrong. Maybe not. I don't think we should know everything. Those videos you're making, Will, are great! They say exactly what i or some of my friends feel. However, i'm not sure with the happiness. Being happy is one of those great feelings which we all want to feel. But what exactly makes us happy? Can we stay in stage of happiness? I don't think so, happiness is too short. And too shallow. However, it's still better than being in melancholy and sadness. I guess.

[@Shhhanny]

This is really great. I'm nearly 24, a recent college graduate, and have taken the plunge into the real world. Lost is the perfect word to describe what this feels like, but in the most positive way possible. Being lost can be more rewarding than found ever was.

[@user-qg7tt6kd4f]

I'm 16 and have my last year of school next year but I'm so confused about what to do with my life! But I guess I'll just have to sit my exams first and see where I go from there :)

[@eleanorflynn3234]

Last year my sister was in that position. We were just sat down watching one born every minute and she looked up and said that's what I want to do with my life and is now taking courses at college to become a midwife. It can pop out at you at the strangest times :)

[@benisraelsohn3956]

"One of the biggest concerns in life is if you're on the right path, if what you're doing in the present moment is where you want to be and it's ability to assist in where you want to be in the future. Maybe it's not about the destination, but the journey. If you don't have the key to answer the question at end of the road, look around and take in the beauty of the trees. If you enjoy the path while it lasts and make the most of the present, the end point becomes a figment so distant that it is rendered irrelevant." - Bustis Noyik

[@Lena-zv7gp]

I love your videos and how they always make me think and I think I'm kind of in love with your mind. But I'm graduating in about a year after 13 years of going to school and I'm honestly so scared. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I kind of feel like everyone is expecting me to do something great when all I want to do right now is hide in my bed and not think about it. So many people around me seem to know, or at least have an idea of what they want to do and then there's me just being completely lost. I want to do something with my life that makes me happy and I guess that just puts a lot of pressure on me.

[@alexandrafleshman741]

This is precisely how I've been feeling lately. It's just funny how life works; the endless choices that could alter your life entirely. Yet, you haven't the slightest clue. But such is life. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Xx

[@EmmaFAULT]

I've just moved to Seoul, South Korea. It's so overwhelming, this country is just like woahhhhhhhhhhh..h....h.hhh.. compared to England! I feel a little lost, but then being lost lets me find out more cool things that keeping to a schedule of what life has to be like ^_^

[@brennastovall2521]

Seoul Korea?! thats amazing!!! what is it like?

[@EmmaFAULT]

It's pretty surreal! However i have never felt so at home. i'm excited to explore more :)!!

[@brennastovall2521]

well I've been wanting to visit because I'm mom was born in south korea, so I've always wanted to explore my asianisty i guess haha you're very lucky you get to live there. its kinda my dream to live there one day…

[@EmmaFAULT]

Ooh, that's so nice. Well you have lovely history here! I'm so excited to visit the palaces seoul has to offer. HI5 It was my dream to live here too for a longggg time! And i'm here so i guess dreams sometimes do happen if you want them to happen :)! Goodluck ^_^ x

[@zahra2001ali]

I am 14 years old. And of course I'm naive and young and whatnot but I think I know where I'm headed. It's all very specific I know exactly what grades I am hoping to get and I'm on the right track for getting them. I know what A-Level subjects I will take in two years time and I know that I want to do a PHD in Psychology. But after that... I don't know. I think I would like to go into business and use the degree I'm hoping to get to design packaging and creating adverts but I think I'd probably be pushed down the clinical route by my parents. I'm a hopeless romantic and I hope I'll be in a relationship with someone or perhaps even married by the age of 30 (like I said very specific) but the problem with that is, it's not like my grades where I determine my fate on how hard I work that's just Destiny. Same with how I imagine my apartment to be, perfect, but I don't know EXACTLY what it will look like. Or what my children's names will be. Or what town I will live in. What countries I'll travel to. Those things I don't know for sure and it really fucking bothers me because there's so much I don't know. I think I've gone too far into it. Sorry.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm 15 and in year 11 right now, and unlike most people at school I know what sixth form I want to go to and what A levels to do and uni course. I think the parts I find scariest are the parts out of my control like you said. What if I'm still not happy or content with my job in however many years time? What if I'm not happy with the social aspect of my life, the friends and relationships I will have? At least right now we don't have to worry about the roof over our heads, but just thinking that one day we will be responsible for every single aspect of our lives is fucking terrifying. Therefore I wish you good luck for the future and I hope that it will all work out fine :)

[@laurahancock2303]

If you're going to do a PhD in psychology you'll most definitely become a clinical psychologist. If you want to go onto do advertisement think about only getting a Honors or Masters degree in Psychology as a PhD takes like 10 years and involves a lot of experience in clinical settings. I'm doing a degree in Psychology at the moment and thought I'd help :)

[@zahra2001ali]

Laura Hancock thank you, that helps a lot :)

[@evvekentta1]

Thank you, Will, for always making such relateable videos:) first the one on introverts and now this one. It's nice to hear someone talk about the things that like, bother me, most days and makes me feel kind of... lonely. But anyway, I've been out of school for 3 years now and have just been, I don't know, trying to figure out what to do with my life. I've been very depressed about not having a single goal to focus on and just not having any idea of what to do. I knew I wanted to do something somewhat creative, but I didn't know what. Recently I got this internship, at a goldsmith and within a few times of being there, I knew that was something I really wanted to pursue. It's probably the first time in my life that I've really LOVED doing something and I look forward to every time I get to go there. I don't know if this is gonna lead somewhere, but I'm applying to a school for next fall, to learn more and then I guess I'll go from there. Just wanted to share this and say that even the most lost of people can suddenly find something, totally unexpected, and fall in love with it:)

[@beccameasor9793]

I am quite frankly lost. I don't know who the person is when I look in the mirror. I could stand there for hours, just thinking 'who is this person? what does she like? what does she want to do with the poem that is her life. Honestly, i've never gotten round to answer these questions. Many more, too.I'm lost in my own skin and bones, in my sexuality, the image I want to look like- the person I want to be. A couple of years, maybe, i've been thinking. What would happen if I wasn't here? I don't intend for this to sound suicidal what-so-ever, curiosity gets the better of my brain. What would people, my friends and family be like if I ceased to exsist in this maze we call life? What would they do differently? What would i do differently? I often just sit, and stare at the pages of a book. The author wanted to do that, they had control over someone else's life. The someone who is completely fiction. However, that someone is the person people aspire to be. The author decided the birth, the death and everything inbetween. What if that was us? we instantly had control of our life and it was so simple? I'm lost in the skin and bones, the brain and beating heart that is me. So, who am I? What am I?

[@aPrototypeGamer]

Becca Measor I understand how you feel. Its a horrible feeling.. But I have nothing to say but that my experience I'm going through is to discover myself. I dont know who the actual fuck I am at all! What is my personality it changes from time to time. Im going through this phase too and I'm trying to find who I am. Its hard to say how I'm doing this, but its kind of working. Just to me it feels like when were able to understand who we are as a person deep inside, we see things a better way. This was completely off topic and had nothing to do with what you said, but I just felt like saying it. Becca I hope soon you discover yourself like im going through now and all your answers are out there. Life doesnt have the answers for everything we question but its up to us to find the ones that have answers and those who dont I suppose. have a good day becca

[@twinsauce]

Dude, you said it. Life is scary, I graduate from college in the spring and I'm not sure whats next and that is terrifying. I know where I want to go but not exactly how I'm planning on getting there. I guess I'm just going to start taking chances and letting God open or close doors. Good luck with all your endeavors! I'll be praying. - Paul

[@edithpulido7365]

I am terrified of what the future will bring...

[@JJ-jn7sn]

Edith Pulido but it'll all be okay in the end, no matter what

[@chlo-sc5js]

Came back to this video purely because I love reading comments on your videos Will. Its kind of comforting to see other people are struggling to find themselves because I am too. I have no clue what I'm doing with my life, where I want to go, what I want to be and going to university in September both excites me and terrifies me as I don't know if its something I should do or if it'll end up being completely irrelevant to where I'm going in the future. My life has just been a constant maze for the past year or two and I just hope I find my way out of it soon as I'm afraid I'll spend years wondering aimlessly and end up stuck in the same boring town my whole life.

[@MollieNorman]

I'm 14 and have no idea what i wanna do in life and what i'm doing now. I know i'm young but i need plans and ideas ;( x

[@sarasolen]

Live in the moment :) If you have a strong interest in something, and you keep doing things that involves that, as Will said, you're heading in the right direction. Also have in mind that a lot of people, millions, at your age feels like you, so you're not alone with feeling like that. And you do not have to decide now what you wanna do. Don't think you're not ambitious or anything, because you are. If you don't find out what you wanna do with your life until you're 30 that's perfectly normal too. Go somewhere in life you at first think you wanna go, and if it turns out to be wrong, then take another path. You'll eventually find yourself and what you value the most in life and most importantly, what you wanna do. Good luck. And remember; there's not a clock ticking with finding out anything, you have all the time in the world.

[@asuuulkz5688]

+Sarah c: this is so nice.

[@sarasolen]

[@daisy_iv]

No need to worry:) i'm 21 and still confused. Eventually, you'll ;)

[@MissEmiiSing]

Thank you so much for making this video, honestly I'm feeling exactly like you said: completely lost: I don't know where/what I want to be, what I want to do, I'm in University but every day I'm just wondering what I'm doing there. I don't have a specific passion besides maybe writing but I haven't done that in months because of everything else I have to do for University, which is just pointless.. I've never related to a video that much so, sincerely, thank you.

[@nataliadoesntvlog]

But I don't even know what I'm passionate about

[@delladevlin7620]

Right tho

[@katherineliu298]

i love the off-center shooting, quirky background music, and intriguing yet relatable topics of all your videos.

[@scarletwilson2562]

Tbh I dont feel that way I mean, I know where I am going, I believe God had a plan for everyone's life, with Him I don't feel lost, because I know my purpose. Your probably thinking "Oh great another holy roller Christian." But honestly I would feel lost without Him.

[@sarahwarner8409]

Relateable. Just very relateable. What am I doing with my life. I'm almost 18, school's almost over and I just really don't want to be studying and getting a degree and growing old and boring. I want to do something more significant. Less sensible. Travel and meet people and 'find myself'. This was a perfectly timed topic Will x

[@dylanhayes197]

Very scared about what's in front of my life

[@shrubhosale]

This is coming at an incredible timing to me. I was just sat here, tears in my eyes not knowing what to do after 18 and I thought to myself I will watch one of Will's videos and try to calm down and I watched this, and though my problems aren't sorted, I am feeling much better. Thank you Will.

[@sachaotte]

Who came here bc of Joe??😂😂🙌

[@SmaeeTO]

I love your videos because they're different and insightful. The fact that you really care about what you talk about rather than do things for views is fantastic.

[@nuriabcam]

You always say things that I am exactly feeling in that moment! That is why you are definitely among my top 3 youtubers to watch! Will you are amazing and you always get me although you do not even know that I even exist! Thanks for making videos. This has made my day! Love, Nuria

[@hannahhamilton623]

I've never watched a video that I have related to so strongly. It's like you made this video about my life right now. So I just wanted to say thank you Will for making me feel less alone and less pressure to figure my entire life out right now. I really admire you and the honesty you put into all your videos. Love.

[@marleemouse]

Can't even express to you how much I needed this video. You just made sense of a lot of things I couldn't for so so long being someone that just turned 18 and thought they were the only one feeling so unsure of themselves & so lost. We all go through the same struggles and it's kinda nice to hear I'm not the only one that might be feeling this way. Thank you for making this video, I really loved it!

[@lexlovebot]

This video totally hit home; I feel super useless & just kind of a failure more days than none. High school for me was an EXTREMELY high anxiety triggering place for me and 11th & 12th grade was just hell. It was between these years where like major depression kicked in & it was really bad. Fast forward to the end of senior year at graduation & I'm totally happy, cuz I honestly didn't think I'd make it. I'd got into a decent college & was excited. Fast forward not even two months in and I had to pull myself out of school due to horrible anxiety attacks, I wasn't ready AT ALL. now I'm taking a gap year & trying to look for a job (😩🔫 Ugghhh the worst) and looking into this amazing film school that I actually want to go to. So the struggle is most definitely real rn lol. Srry for typing so much lol but I felt that I could share this honestly. Thanks for making this Will, keep making great content 😌🙇👍

[@kellyannwhelan7069]

This is basically everything right now, have massive amounts of love for this.

[@KirstenMooreCreative]

I am 100% feeling very lost lately. I'm about to turn 35 in a few days and feel in every part of my being that I am meant to be doing something else. I fall down the youtube rabbit hole everyday and discover another creator like yourself. It definitely gives me great inspiration to figure things out. So thank you.

[@1990ArthurGM]

You're truly unique. Just sharing the exact thoughts with the exact words to a camera you get to inspire people, to help them realize they're not alone, they're not as lost as they think they are, that they can become who they want to become... Thanks for being that awesome wise and truthful voice we all need to hear sometimes.

[@Diamondxdudettex]

I honestly love yours and Jackgaps videos. They're both very different and give the audience something to think about. Your videos are always on point and relevant. Awesome job!

[@mattmakhoul94]

I love how this is put in this video, making it seem like it's common amongst people because it is SO common yet we're so scared of coming across as "lost" or "different" to others! There's always pressure to know where your headed, but where's the journey through chasing something you don't want to 'play it safe'? It's definitely something a lot of us go through including me, and it's so amazing that reading the comments, there's so many of us alike that can relate to eachother... another reason I love these videos :)

[@kolswife]

There's something about all of your videos that I just love... I can relate to almost everything that you say and I think that's what makes your videos so amazing and unique. Really, thank you.

[@caelainnreynolds7554]

Will you are the only thing that gets me up in the morning and I'm not 'just saying that'. Your what of looking at things, your videos, pictures, everything is inspiring and helps me in a way I don't understand.

[@youngmeeeeeeeeee]

Thank you for making this video. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one fumbling about :)

[@supreme87878]

I am already totally lost. To me, just be contented with what you have and appreciate it, who knows what you're going to lose or gain at the next moment? and this, I think, is happiness. Truly living in the moment.

[@lotte0192]

You always make me cry, because you say the right things at the right time

[@staallekker]

I think its good to be lost sometimes, makes you realize what you're doing and what you want to be doing. Gives you a moment to breathe

[@TheDameIntl]

Im 35 and Im only just now creating a life I want, after years of exploring to find out what that life is. Follow what feels good, get out of your own way x

[@rutaziaugre3668]

no way... he quoted my favourite song at the begining of this video. Can not handle myself right now... An automatic thumbs up and lots of love! 505

[@emmalouise1200]

Just about to finish school... forever. Probably the most scariest thought I have had in my life so far! I actually have to do something now, as you said "actually get my shit together." But I find myself relying on the unknown to keep me going. The endless possibilities ahead in the somewhat near future keep me calm. Knowing that all things happen for a reason and that somewhere down my track I will discover my true calling, that I will find myself looking back at this moment and wanting to say "you just wait and see what your life has in stall for you, great things are still to come." Video's like this help to to reinforce the positive nature of putting all your faith into the uncontrollable future and how is is okay to feel lost. Thank-you for this Will I really needed this video :) good luck for the future

[@Bostonroad1992]

Omg this feeling has engulfed my day!!!!! Always comes back. The struggle is real

[@meggenuino5984]

I feel the same. It's like there's something better you could be doing and may have an inkling of what it is, but it's a struggle to reach that. And there are moments when I just want to do nothing all day or read or sleep. It's a bit scary thinking of the future. Love your video, Will :-) I guess we all feel lost.

[@andiedittman1371]

This video made me so happy! I'm about to go sit a Japanese exam and was a little nervous. I hope one day I can create documentaries and be a journalist. On a side note, Will your channel keeps getting better and better. Probably my favourite now! I love how high quality everything you do is and how gently you go about making these videos. You're awesome! :)

[@MsCoolnis]

Wow I just read some comments here and it's amazing how this vid actually made everyone talk and share their dreams , fears and current life situation... Anyway I wanted to thank you Will for making such inspiring videos

[@parallax4016]

Usually the dreamers and the most ambitious get to the best places in life. But no matter what you should do or what you do do, you should be happy.

[@ellavalerie4742]

I love to read, write stories, design little things like costumes and sets for films I’ll never make. I like that, when watching a film I like to think, “how was this made?”. I like to look down at the orchestra when I’m in the theatre and I like to look behind stage at concerts. I like that type of thing, I critique costumes and camera angles and sets in my head automatically, like my brain is wired to do that. I love to be lost in a book, the feeling of being completely in the narrators head and nowhere else. I love photos, videos, memories captured and kept forever.

[@MsCooee]

I'm feeling lost too. I was happy, I had a vision of my life and suddenly... everything has changed. And now I'm confused, tired and dissatisfied. I want to do things that make me happy but I'm stuck... Thank you for this video, Will!

[@alexblack2520]

This video has just described everything I feel now. I study at the university, so I kinda know what I want to do in my life, but I can't imagine a place where I will end up after graduating or anything I'll be working on. It is still a little bit exciting, because you never know what you're gonna do, but at the same time it scares me very much.

[@nadiyah6943]

I love how you address these awesomely relevant topics, Will. I don't know what I want to do, but I know I want to be somewhere warm, living a simple life & learning how to surf. Instead, I live in Chicago, I'm bundled up for winter & going to school everyday. I'm grateful for everything I have now, but I do wonder how I'll get to where I want to be. I think that's what makes life interesting! People who know exactly what they want to do are blessed, but I feel us lost ones aren't worse off. On the course of finding ourselves we can be exposed to so many things since we aren't focused on one particular path :)

[@alvarogarrido8187]

Hi Will, my name is Álvaro and I'm from Spain. I don't know how you do it but in your videos you always talk about things that are affecting me at the moment. And the most important thing is that they really do help. I can't thank you enough. You're an amazing person!
