everything is going to be okay.

more writing: www.wholesomes...
I spent last year running from a lot of my own issues.
My greatest fault was that I lacked focus.
And I tried to blame it all on things other than myself.
2021 was one of the hardest years of my life
Before last year i had never once questioned why i do what i do and if it matters to the world
But i’d wake up and for the first time in a long time
I wouldn’t want to push my creativity.
That seemingly unlimited supply of drive that had gotten me to this point in my life had disappeared.
But it’s in those times where you fail to see your own progress
And you feel stuck for months on end
That you learn the most about yourself.
Life has a humorous way of dangling what we want in front of our faces
And using it to teach us that we’re looking in the wrong direction
every bad situation whether i walked into it, or it chose me - was delivered to help me get to where i need to be.
it’ll never be easy
But i’ll always remind myself that everything is going to be okay.
Because through everything I find peace in the fact that I made someone feel something this past year.
And that’s the point of all art right.
To make you feel something.
To make you cry
To make you smile
To make you motivated
To make you want to chase your own dreams
And not feel as alone.
Because we’re all alone in a sense
And all lonely from time to time.
I spent 365 days trying to escape the pressures that my own mind created.
But there is no pressure.
There’s no timeline to creativity.
My goal here is to make someone out there now, or years from now feel something
So in reality, nothing else should matter.
So I’ll tell myself that I have time
And that it’s okay to be a little lost.
Because When you feel like you have no time left, you probably are just at the beginning of everything.
And everything will be okay.

hey bro do you have a spotify or apple music playlist ? i love your taste in music choice and believe that you have a great playlist of music

One of the most underrated channels I have found and i’m glad I did, thank you for the reminder that “everything will be okay” :)

[@wholesomesimon]

Appreciate that a ton :) anytime

[@adriannakent9541]

the truth is that things will only be okay for the people who follow Christ. Im serious when I say that the Bible says that wrath and judgement are coming upon those who don't Believe in Christ and never turn to him.

"I spent 365 days trying to escape the pressures that my own mind created. But there is no pressure." This line really resonated with me. I'm currently clicking through all the channels of the Montana content house and it's incredible to see such vulnerability online. It's nice to know that there are great people out there even though I'll likely only ever meet a tiny fraction of them.

[@drewsicc]

"Because when you feel like you have no time left, you're probably just at the beginning of everything." These words really comforted me so much, thanks man! :((

[@sanikakulkarni4887]

This is literally what I needed. I'm at a point in life where I don't have control over a lot of things and it's frustrating. Nothing seems to make me happy, except this. Thank you so much for this Simon. Ly. ❤️

[@fogman2041]

You have no idea how much I needed this. I've been struggling with OCD and my thoughts have just disturbed me and I constantly tell myself that my thoughts aren't me. This made me cry. I always worry for my family and my future.

[@fia82307]

I don’t know how you are now, a month later, but from someone else with OCD and those thoughts, I can promise it’ll get easier :) remember your thoughts are not you. you are the one who hears them

[@yourworstnightmare4966]

Me too x

[@cannotbecalm7596]

I know how you feel. I've got OCD too. Just know you're not alone, and even in the darkest pits of it, even through all the anxiety, it's okay. You're okay. You'll get through it. OCD is rough, but it'll get better. Find joy in the small wins and keep fighting. It can feel so isolating, but you're not alone. :)

Yes,I'm suffering just from my thoughts for 2 months.Nothing bad is happening.I have a loving family

[@eleanorhesketh6117]

2021 was a horrible year for me to. Thank you for reminding me that I am not at the end I am at the beginning. These years will pass for me. I am still struggling now a bit but your channel helped me this year acctually realise that I am not alone and that there are people across the world who go through similar or even worse things than I am going through. I love you Simon and I don't know if you get that heard a lot but you are a beautiful human being who cares for everyone and everything. Well done because you have impacted my life for the better and I will never forget you. Your video titled "Watch this when you are sad", I wrote it all down on my phone so when I am in a state in my life and I can't go anywhere or run from anything I can quickly get to it and somehow. You made it better. YOU Simon. Thank you 💕

watching this video when nothing felt okay made me realize that it is going to be. maybe not now or tomorrow but soon. i’m so happy that my friend introduced me to this channel. the impact you have made on my life is huge and i want to say thank you and i love you❤️

But once I got my shit together everyone I knew started trying to kill themselves. I have stopped all of it. Thank you for making me love myself.

I just signed up for a seemingly impossible task and my anxiety is at it's peak. I don't know if I can do this. I don't want to fail. But your video reminded me that failure is no stranger to me. I'm still here even after a series of body and mind crushing failures, trying one more time. So, even if I fail, I think I will still be okay. Everything will be okay. I hope it will :)

Hi guys , how old are you, what are your stories ?

[@dimitrahristova9685]

I don't know if you will read this or not but, recently i've been going trouth a pretty tough time. I am losing a friend and she probably won't return. I am overthinking and stressing so much that i feel like my head is going to explode. I am in a constant bad mood for two weeks now and i can't seem to enjoy anything. That was until 23:00 o'clock tonight, or this is when i found your channel. I've been watching your videos for the past hour and man you made me feel something. I feel so much more relieved, calm and everything makes perfect sence now. I finally let go of everithing and everyone. I finaly feel lake a normal human being now. Thank you. Thank a milion times.

[@martyz9773]

At this point I'm hopping from video to video of yours telling me things are okay. Because so many people have told me that over and over and over again, but from you it- just feels so much more sincere. Like instead of someone trying to shove my bad thoughts away with what felt like false hope, for some reason from you it sounds more like actual hope. So sincerely, thank you.

[@bridgetducey4883]

I was just at my lowest and ur videos made me feel so much better. Please keep making them, you have no idea how much i appreciate them.

You’re amazing simon, 2021 was the worst year for me. I lost my boyfriend and all my friends. I couldn’t stop wondering what I did wrong. What did I do to deserve all of this? I was alone. I hope this year I can focus on myself. Reach the goals I’ve set for myself maybe :)

this really calmed me down, thank you soo much i just felt soo much pressure on me and felt like the world was constantly pushing me back, i js couldn't shake of this negative feeling that i cant do it but again the pressure to js think about things from a positive view was weighing on me soo much but now i realize its okay to feel the way you feel, you dont have to shape it into society's standards instead feel what you feel and then learn from it and get up again. thank uh soo muchh!!

[@mikatsu-chan4524]

i love you man.

[@LilyBlackmore-f4n]

I'm crying right now

[@Novamity]

I couldn't stop myself from tearing up at the end. I always feel like I'm being judged by my family and being forced to do things I don't want to do, which has been one of the things that made me fall into a deep state of depression and emptiness. I have severe social anxiety and I am a complete introvert, which doesn't sit well with my mom, who is very extroverted and social, and she claims that my social anxiety and introversion is a choice, and that I'm just "letting my fear get the best of me". And every time we have to go somewhere and I don't talk to anyone there, even if it's the grocery store or gas station, she always ends up lecturing me about it in the car or on the way home, then she says that it's demons that are causing my social anxiety, introversion, and even depression, so she prays against the "demons" making me who I am, and she has been for at least a year. And guess what? It didn't work. She can't seem to grasp the concept that not everyone is like her, and she always ends up comparing me to her, saying things like "I was never like this when I was your age" and making me feel like an invalid person that is just faking mental problems to get out of things. Of course, that only made my depression worse, and as expected, when I first told my parents I was depressed and that I didn't see a meaning in life, they brushed it off and said I had nothing to be depressed about, and other people have worse lives and parents, and that I should be grateful I don't have abusive, drinking parents, and that I'm not on the streets. And my siblings have commented on how I look a lot, saying that my body proportions are weird, which I was insecure about already, and my little sister always says that I'm ugly and she tells me to die in a hole, and that nobody cares about me. My siblings have apologized though, but I still don't feel good about my body or how I look. I should probably stop ranting now, but this video made me feel seen and understood, so thank you for making it. Bye now, thank you so much for reading! :]

Thank you

[@Despair.roblosx]

Reasons why I’m gonna be okay - I know and will experience the same happiness and comfort again - I’ll go back to school and adapt to my surroundings and be comfy with my new routine - I’m just experiencing something that I am positive will go away about next week - My family and my friends are there for me - I’m going back to my old life I have loved for so long, sadness is just preventing me from realizing it - God is with me with every step of the way - Even if it takes long, I will recover one day - I’m an amazing little goober who needs to know that a happy life isn’t truly a happy life without sadness and it’s okay to cry

[@the_bright_light9049]

Your the reason I feel better I been through a lot this really made me feel better tho thanks for being a kind person and you made everyone feel a lot better hope you have a day I have tough time over thinking about suicide but since I watch two of you’re vid I feel better :]

I do the same thing man, reach out, and or love yourself even though you know what you are doing is destructive. Love yourself for who you are, and who you want to be, love yourself for wanting better man. Don't beat yourself up, it will only make things worse, instead focus on the the coping mechanisms, and the things that might work for you. This is my adive for now, you may take it as you will, and that is all ok. :pray:

Hi, I have actually never commented on KZbin before. But this video really makes me want to say something. I always tell myself that everything will be ok, but I would be the only one telling myself that. But after watching this video I feel so emotional. Like someone has actually been through what I have been through and they understand me. You're words really help me, I am so grateful that you posted this, thank you so much. I actually felt and still feel the exact same way as you described in the beginning of the video. I used to be so creative but now I can't even focus on anything. If by any chance you happen to see this comment, is there any advice you can give me about what I can do to improve my situation?
