Hey what’s up🤙🏽 I hope you all enjoyed this video! It’s slightly different than others I’ve posted but I am really happy with how it turned out and what it means to me. Now some of you might notice a slight schift in my content and this might be the first video I've done without traveling anywhere. The reason being that I just finished working on one of my biggest projects to date, www.storyflow.so which will be coming out in a couple of months. From next month I will be traveling the world again each month but I do want to start focusing on sharing the things I read and reflect on in life with you as just creating travel films isn't enough for me anymore☝🏽 Thanks again for your support, means the world to me🙏🏾

[@ahmettuna5372]

hey kayy gota add something 'bout the video ... i liked the quality of the edit the filming and such but i think (my idea) the video is a bit like harsh and it felt like "yea guys do that do this ur worthless" i personally know what u r trying to do and give a message like ... i think the pacing and the music and maybe your tone affects this . i just wanted to give my own opinion tlk . but do what works best u know more than me

I've been in Germany since I was 18. In my young age i did a lot of jobs such as clean lady, waiter, dishwasher, worker at McDonald's and in the fabric etc. It was very exhausting but after having a choice to get an education and to study after that I became an mechanical engineer. Never in my life I thought one day I would become an engineer in Germany 🇩🇪 but my big and only childhood dream was to become a teacher or an educator. So after a while working as an engineer I studied again to become an educator to get my childhood dream come true. Now I'm 50 and very happy with my profession. I love kids and I love working with them. My school kids are daily very loud and full of life, the job is often stressful, noisy but also fulfilling and I love going to work every day. I'm grateful 🙏. Thank you for your great work ❤

I relate to this so much. I made a decision to quit my job 2 days ago. I’d rather live a life chasing purpose rather than being stuck at a job that I hate

[@katec9893]

The smarties demonstration was alarming and showed how I've been feeling lately - that after sleeping, cooking, eating, washing up, laundry, recycling, food shopping, cleaning, exercising, hobbies, relaxation and some social interaction there doesn't seem enough time to work enough towards my goals. I've been wondering how other people get everything done especially if they live alone. I know wealthy people pay for cleaners and gardeners but most of us can't afford that so we have to fit everything into our daily routines on top of doing our work/business.

[@Stankful]

yeah, you basically work and train after work, and you are left with 2 free hours, and one of them you spend to take a shower and cook.. you are left with 1h to read something, if you have energy left.

Hello Kay, I have been following you for a long time and I see that your last few videos are all about you in your choices and the price you pay for the things you like. After watching these videos, I seem to see myself. I support you very much. I hope you can continue to do better and continue to bring us better content.

[@justkayy]

Thanks for sharing that! Glad you enjoyed it and yes you can💪

[@zacharyhooley]

Kay, the combination of your cinematography, editing, sound design, and script in this one is outright legendary! The intro alone deserves an Emmy! 🏆 Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring your viewers. ⚡

[@shakafo00o]

Brother the fact that you reached out to those like yourself like this, you have my eternal thanks.

[@gaston_luna]

Brother!! It's incredible how you improve yourself with each video. You are not just an amazing artist, but a person who learned a lot while traveling and shares it with others. Excellent.

[@justkayy]

Appreciate you so much bro!🙏

[@nolnkim]

I’ve been feeling the same way, but I wasn’t sure how to put it in words! I love how well you were able to express it so clearly. Such a masterpiece 🙏🏽

[@her.skyline]

Thank you so much. I was still afraid. Because I wanted to completely change my life this year. But this video has reaffirmed me and I'm so excited about what's to come. Sometimes you need understanding and a little reminder. :)

Amazing!! I’ve always been someone that has chased discomfort and explored into the unknown and always felt like I was different to others because I always had a mission and direction in life. After watching that video you made me realise why and I related to a lot of that , it makes so much sense. I am going to share this to people to hope Change their life too! So inspiring man! Keep it up🤙🏽❤️

[@chadrichjellming4911]

I think what is scaring me the most about taking my leap of faith is not knowing how to achieve what I want. I have my goal, but to get there I can’t see the way and I think that scares me the most. I’m saving up as much money as I can right now so I can go full time into my dream, but I can’t help but have that fear that I won’t be able to achieve the dream before I run out of money. I’ve been developing my skills towards on the side in the evening, but I feel such a deep rooted pull in my soul to take that leap of faith.

[@chadrichjellming4911]

Update: I quit the job after saving up a good amount in savings. Time to make it happen. Fingers crossed all goes well!

[@ashikmcr7806]

Kay you really pushed the fx3 footage to it's limits man. Colors are looking like it's from a big budget Hollywood movie 🔥 and also loved the video man.

[@dnkswole]

Such a real and true message here. Thank you for those 13:37 of pure visual and message. I quit everything one years ago, put myself a 100% everyday even when I was freaking tired. But every effort you put in count. And it’s worth it because it’s my dream job and passion.

[@loverotterdam1591]

Thank you very very much for this baeutiful explanation of doing what you love to do and how to do it.

Really appreciate this pure and honest talks about your perspective on fulfulling / enjoying your life to the fullest!

[@ebubethareporta5655]

Hey Kay, thank you so much for these words, i needed them at this time. Similar to your story, I am a medical doctor trying to starting living life on my own terms as a cinematograph. It has been challenging and scary, but this videos gave me the much needed motivation and guidance. I'm off to take back my life and live my dreams. Thank you so much Kay.

I’m with you brother. It took 25+ years in the military and 7 war zones. I’m almost 55 years old and I know there is sooooooooo much more 😎✨

Came across your video randomly a couple days back and saved it to watch it later. I've just watched it. I barely every write any comments, even though I am now doing it. Wow. Your work is stunning to say the least, everything is just soooo damn curated to the very tiniest of details, plus the way you speak and share your message.. man, this honestly felt so refreshing! What a marvelous piece of art.Thanks for sharing it and wish you have a wonderful day today! (:

[@lukefender94]

This is exactly how I feel and writing my thoughts in a journal recently supports this. I have a fiancee and a dog that are dependent on me though, and I feel like the life I want to have is not the life I can have with them... I feel like being split in two people, one who wants a calm and simple life in one place (doesn't always have to mean comfort and conformity) and one who wants an exploration filled adventurous life

I'm already hyped for your next cinematic masterpiece! Really looking forward to try storyflow and all it has to offer, maybe improving my own storytelling a little bit :D Wish you all the best man

[@inthere]

Great video! It's really challenging to comprehend and accept what you're saying, even though everything you're saying is absolutely correct! Decades of mental conditioning have solidified our mindset, leaving us only able to express a fleeting sense of wonder. But as soon as the clock resets to that conditioning, we find ourselves lost once again. Its dark cloud is so impenetrable that it doesn't even allow us to see what lies beyond. I know and believe that you have discovered a way to see through these clouds, and I hope that one day you'll be able to articulate it in a manner that serves as a perfect pair of lenses through which we can view reality. I'll be eagerly waiting for that day!
