@Becca Quirk I definitely understand, Becca! I'm 28, honestly got my permit the end of August this year and had my 2nd official driving lesson today, with an actual instructor. When I got the permit, my mom took me out a few times just to parking lots to get a feel for driving, but my comfort level and confidence in myself has grown SO much with just the 2 official driving lessons I've gotten. I had an INCREDIBLE amount of anxiety attached to driving, for a number of reasons. When I talked to people about it, I always cried because I felt SO judged by them, especially by my dad's side of the family, for not learning earlier. But I learned it's ok to go at your own pace :) One day, I just said, yeah...I think I can do this now. Because I finally felt ready mentally. And today, as my 2nd lesson, I drove on a highway, nerve-wracking as that was XD But I was ready to push myself. Go at your own pace. And when you're ready, YOU GOT THIS! :)

Personal key with meditation: literally "turn off" all the voices in your head. Silence. It may feel impossible but I promise with practice, eventually it'll be quiet for a half second. Then extend it, 1 second, 2 seconds, praise yourself for improvement and z e r o judgement. Eventually being able to sit for minutes (or longer!) in *pure* silence is where you find the good stuff. It's a very incredible tool

[@kayladupuis8610]

Some of the only times we're happy are when we're together eating good food, just enjoying eachother's company. I know how it feels when the only thing you can give your partner is takeout and a shower...it's brutal. I grew up listening to Death Cab For Cutie, and hearing your song Someone reminded me so much of hearing an old Death Cab song for the first time as a kid. I was smiling for like half an hour. It was a feeling I never thought I'd have again. And, this is getting ramble-y, I haven't even mentioned To Hold Amber!

I'm an artist and recently I've made it my full-time job where I'm my own boss and so I'm literally constantly thinking about new designs or artwork I could make but like not in a fun way. Like I can't just enjoy other people's art or watch a movie or even go outside without looking for inspiration or drawing references or new color schemes that I feel could fit into my art style because I feel like I constantly have to be thinking about making new content and it's exhausting. And I feel like I can't stop because if I do then I'm wasting my time and I can't afford to waste time because I need new content so I can make money, and I also feel like if I stop looking for new inspiration even for a second I could miss something really cool and lose the opportunity to use that in my art.

[@MsRedhood13]

It's inspiring and admirable that Drew is going through the exhaustive yet restless extent of some good examples of the tangents, loops, and thoughts in his head. A lot of which I wish he was able to expand on more even! but as someone that gets into that state frequently. That cuts themself off, debates myself on whether to go on, and often forget ideas altogether, and the internal panic blue screens my brain. So I get not going into more or feeling ashamed or embarrassed for what does come out from a place of "is it good enough". It doesn't feel like it could ever be but that could change one day, or decrease at least. There's something special and interesting about relating to some of his mental gymnastics with similarities in my mental games with myself. It also reminds me that we all have to deal with it. All. The. Fucking. Time. Words are often hard for me so it helps to see a side of myself reflected in one of my favorite preformers in a way that is still entertaining and pushes me to cheer on Drew-- and better grow this part of myself with a similar attitude I see in passing or what I can find #relatable to keep creating. Transitory points are weird and confusing, but there's a lot of beauty in the idea and the difficult, self-conscious anxiety of "becoming" yourself as well as "being" yourself. I'm impatient as hell, but it's more about the process along the way than "being", rather than being frozen in time as cardboard cutout of you versus the capacity of you experiencing. I hope for Drew and anyone coming across this lump of text that it brings some comfort in their day. Or to ease the pressure we all put on ourselves daily. You're doing your best to be your best and endlessly trying to nip at the weeds growing from the seeds of self-improvement, doesn't that mean you're the best version of yourself that you can be? Can it be good enough, if not for right now?

with all due respect and the deepest affection for you, DREW YOU HAVE ADHD. you're like "i don't want to just say i have adhd" and then you proceed to describe my exact symptoms hahahaha. i'm diagnosed and medicated. i rec vyvanse! it saved my life genuinely.

[@ratman8670]

drew, you are a gift. thank you for posting your stream of consciousness or your music or comedy or whatever it is you feel you want to post! because no matter what it is i am never ever ever disappointed and many others feel exactly the same

[@Banana-gp2gp]

Bro you made me laugh, self reflect, and think about existence all in 45 minutes. What an awesome experience lmao

[@sp00kyjim55]

drew, darling, I need you to know youre the most valid person out there. These videos are great because its refreshing to see that humans, although we may live different lives, have some similar thoughts/actions/characteristics. And yeah that may sound dumb because 2 out of 7 billion are bound to be alike, but not everyone is surrounded by like-minded people/ people who share the same thought patterns. It's just nice to not feel so alone even when it appears like it. Like man I have never met you but I feel like you would get me more than anyone ive met. Thank you for letting us listen to your thoughts and allowing us to take this journey with you.

I’m 25, also terrified of driving. 40+ hours practice, manual and automatic, I just can’t do it. It often makes me feel like a failure but honestly who cares, I like having my headphones in on the bus and people watching

[@sannavanna9816]

I fell asleep to this video and dreamt we were in a candy store and you were following me around and talking. And before you ask, yes I did get a toilet dip candy

[@hehe-wm4bc]

i dreamt that i was running away from someone and then drew swooped in and saved me, and we flew away over a beautiful lake

[@TheC0CO]

The British kid came back. Are you holding him hostage?

[@autumnwillow2111]

I’ve been having such a hard time lately with my anxiety, and i sit with your videos instead of doing destructive behaviors. it’s so nice not to talk about things for once and just listen.

[@mooshASMR]

I was actually laughing out loud at the Molly joke dree

[@vespertinedreams]

32:00 I haven't laughed that hard at something on the internet in a long time lol. Very glad I get to have the unique experience of vibing with these videos by myself. You're an interesting human, and I am glad I share a rock with you.

[@swag44455]

i record myself rant/air thoughts just in the form of personal voice memos & while it’s not necessarily the same as posting it for many to see/hear, i think the benefits are the same nonetheless! it’s good & healthy to air out thoughts in your head and to verbalize what you may feel (even if it’s not perfectly said in the moment) bc that helps you solidify your understanding and eventually the extisential dread / hyper-awareness wanes. your personality is lovely and i love this! keep doing it for as long as you like !

[@luckyaidie]

I do this too Ramona! I make little vlogs for myself, I looked back over 2021 and realised I documented most of the year. It is also nice to look back at your personal journey!

[@Cat-xxxxx]

Drew looks JUST like if my brother dressed up as our dad (RIP)..... and paired with Drew's personality,, brings me the biggest comfort ever ❤

[@adamb-bv1sr]

as a vegan who posts on tiktok, the first 20 minutes of this video feel very personal (that's a good thing btw) for real i've been loving these videos so much and totally relate to just being in your head all of the time, being so stuck in the future instead of the present. lots of love drew!

[@michellehicks1551]

It's crazy how quickly and seamlessly time goes by when I watch your videos. Perfect mix of genuine emotion and humor. You're so organically funny and relatable while still being uniquely and authentically yourself.

[@emlauriel]

I choked on my smoke when you said Molly was your medication lmao

[@themonado5030]

Ive been in a bad place for a few years now and hearing you it makes me feel less alone. I relate with so much of what you say. Stay safe and thanks for everything you do Drew :)

[@storytimewithcaitlin9007]

You have a lot of rare gifts and i appreciate you Drew. You feel vulnerable with music because you speak through it.

[@svajaromanovaite4036]

28:24 omg how much I needed to heart that

[@svajaromanovaite4036]

28:45 yes, absolutely. (I don’t make tik tok’s btw)

[@monicaraudales4022]

When drew said he was in a bad mood at the beginning I literally spit my drink out at 0:25 when Drew said "And my therapist said to always turn on the camera and say it to strangers and have them tell me if I'm dumb or not, so look at me, am I?" Thank you for that Drew! 😂💛

[@falren]

this video is so raw and human (hope that makes sense) it’s so refreshing. drew don’t be afraid to be you. you’re amazing and loved no matter what❤️ keep doing these if it helps you

[@katejustate8556]

as a HUGE beach boys fan, i loved your cover of forever. it was so unique but still the harmonies held the element of the original version. ive been listening to it on repeat and its so good

[@solivaqant3396]

YOUR VIDEOS GET ME THROUGH THIS EXAM PERIOD PLS KEEP POSTING I LOVE YOU

[@onthesamepaige]

i love and support you drew!!!! you make my day, and i hope you feel better soon. it made me smile to see this video pop up! you’re worthy :)

[@Avaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

42:00 made me cackle “i was in the woods and it wasn’t very good 😳😳😳”

[@kitkate]

These videos make me irrationally happy. I am always mind-blown at how many others share the same anxieties and daily struggles I have (the fear of driving and rant about spending hours shopping online and overanalyzing reviews for something you don't really need spoke to me too deeply). It's literally the opposite of overwhelming to watch for me, I love what you do! Thank you :-)

[@marl4100]

I honestly believe you're great at conversation, you've been talking for 45 minutes and somehow it's still entertaining, I truly love listening to you, and laugh at every little joke, I love your sense of humour

[@reneesteph2310]

That texting bit about being mad when someone txts u cuz ur not in the mood for it and it interrupted ur mood and now ur mad at them even tho they don't deserve it? I have NEVER heard something more relatable. Love you Drew. Couldn't have put that thought into words any better. So good. Thank you for making me feel validated. Love you so much ❤

[@gracepreston7771]

i like what you said at around 28 mins about it being a dangerous thing sometimes to tell yourself “ my brain won’t let me do this” i do that a lot when i’m in a situation that’s more difficult to handle because of my mental health. i like that you said “ and you can do it btw” because i have to remind myself i have more power over it than i think :) and i try to tell myself that my brain might make this task more difficult to do but i can still do it. sorry this is long but your videos mean so much to me :)
