Nearly 40, divorced, unemployed, living at home...

[@stephen918]

Whatever you do Mr Morts, I hope you are happy. Many of your videos I find calming in the evening. Thank you for all your content. Your vulnerability and authenticity makes this channel so real. Take care.

[@davidantony2734]

Thank you for your raw honesty. I’ve loved every video you’ve ever done. Being a deep thinker is as much a blessing as it is a curse.

[@noniek749]

I'd find a spiritual path to find it without drugs. It sounds like you're searching. Happiness comes from an internal state of being to a far greater degree than we imagine

[@MS-mn6ki]

Enjoy coming home, because one day you cant go home... Appreciate your mum, and be thankful for all the love and support you both give each other.. Much love dude

[@empret7704]

Think about a podcast - your voice is calming and your brain is wise - good luck 🙃😊

[@nobo9981]

Thing is that this channel should have hundreds of thousands of followers. So real and such an intelligent person! Modern philosophy mixed with traveling.

[@ProfitAtAllCosts]

I relate to this so much. I questioned my life sometimes. I challenged myself on whether or not my need for adventures was simply escapism and a way to postpone or ignore my fears. After much reflection and introspection I concluded that travel/nomad life/adventures is just part of who I am. It is not an escape. It is the way I experience joy and freedom. Therefore, it can only be right. What is plainly wrong is doing things we hate or the dull 9-5 that carries little or no meaning, and does not serve our immediate or long-term goals. Living in a battery chicken farm conveyor belt new build estate (surprisingly!) never inspired me nor any material things associated with that and I no longer feel guilt about rejecting these ideas that society deems to be 'normal'. Normal sucks. Now I understand why I have rejected a lot of this society-based nonsense and conditioning. I've been waiting for the existential video because I knew exactly what you would say because I said the very same things 3 years ago. Much has changed since and along the lines of the ideas you've started to play with! Now the wonderful part begins. Acceptance is the key. Accept who we are, create space to design a life of our choosing, and find freedom for ourselves and on our terms. You are in the best phase now and you can build wisely and rationally (your rationale, not a rationale imposed on you by others or society) from there. Good luck with your next adventure - you're very lucky - many people are trapped in a life not of their choosing. Right now, you have the chance to create a life that inspires you and fills you with joy. Everything starts from within.

[@BETHEBEST21]

You're among my top favorite channels! You deserve many more subscribers.

[@tamalamaland]

I was wondering about you the other day, and here you are with more to say in one video than all the others combined. You are a complex and interesting person and I appreciated learning about who you are and why. I had a profound spiritual experience over thirty years ago and it changed me forever. It's a gift, and can also make regular life feel pointless. Having my children was the purpose I needed. Love is the bottom line.

[@missymotta]

Your outlook, and video editing, are very interesting and refreshing. I thank your for sharing yourself. I will always look forward to updates no matter where you find yourself in life.

[@nicolaihogan7787]

Hi Morts, I was in your position in 2015. I felt completely lost for about 4 years. What kept me sane was travel, even if it was just a day trip to somewhere nearby. Really enjoying your videos as usual, just finished watching your new forest adventure. Keep up the good work. All the best, Nicolai

[@karlmahal1850]

Love your channel been watching for ages... keep going

[@DizzyDigsDeeper]

Morts! Glad to see you back. Your car camping trip around Europe and the mid east as well as your Korean camping adventure are some of my favorite KZbin videos. You really had a knack for that style of travel and analyzing life in those places. Would love to see more content like that. Stay strong

[@stephen918]

Totally 🙂

[@simoping]

thanks for sharing Morts... on the one hand I worry for you at times.... (your content is always honest).. but you may be on the cusp on something amazing.. discovering yourself / your direction... keep going man.. and keep posting.... love your posts every time they come

[@robb61887]

Thank you for sharing such a personal reflection. There is so much here to relate to. We are all on different journeys, and yet there is a unitary quality to them all. I wish you well on yours.

[@Bman-lb6nz]

Hey man, I’m praying for you. Best of luck man

[@marywhite4390]

Miss your travels blog and thanks for the update. Sometimes down times are what is needed to find our passion. All is vanity, but when we take part helping others we can be rewarded greatly. Even if we are just killing time.

[@Peoplestariff]

Love your openess & honesty morts

[@Permanent_Vacation]

This is the kind of honesty why I subscribed to your channel

[@JoseWhon]

Much enjoy your videos Mr Morts! Keep us updated!

[@truthforall1303]

I noticed that you ask for people to suggest things but you haven’t liked or replied to them. Happiness starts with doing things for others then it makes you happy. 🇬🇧

[@jenniferadderley8219]

Interesting! 🤔 Thanks! 🎪🎡

[@Ole_K]

Thank you.

[@Waynes_Travels]

Can totally relate. Would love to have a chat with you one day. I too am stuck at the moment

[@suevanderende8014]

Hi Morts, great to see you again and to hear about your ‘existential crisis’. Work isn’t for everyone; follow your heart. Drugs can give you a taste of the Divine and like you said, you are left with a memory, and a certainty that God exists. You can build on this, by meditating, and by asking for guidance. Good things come to those who ask with sincerity. Sue from Berkshire x

[@thomasofearth3183]

Find a beautiful small town, buy some cheap land or build a cabin, start growing food and connect back to god on the daily. Live simply. Get a part time nothing job for 15-20 hrs to connect with the local community.

[@bentonja668]

Hahahahaha

[@grassrootsfootballlive]

You can’t do that in the UK

[@AdamMarkAteMyHamster]

You're away with the fairies, mate. This is real life 😂 always one that talks drivel

[@thomasofearth3183]

We all decided our reality. You’re obviously drowning in yours. Keep it simple mate! Good luck!

[@AdamMarkAteMyHamster]

​@thomasofearth3183 the guy needs to get off his arse and get a job. There is no reason for anyone not to have had a job in 4 years. Sat wallowing in misery and self pity isn't doing him any favours. That's my advice. That's life. Start with a job, then save money, then get your own place, live life like the rest of us and hopefully he'll meet someone. But you coming on banging on about buying cheap land to a guy that's no worked in 4 years and living with his parents is completely unrealistic and just utter crap. The guy needs a kick up the arse by his parents and told to get in the real work.

[@pearlupthejunction]

Freedom Morts, true freedom……you don’t need drugs or mushrooms to become close to God. I’ve been there and no longer live in doubt or fear. Just humble yourself before our Lord and surrender your life to Him. Repent of your sins and you will be free…just believe. You will never truly succeed when trying to do things in your own strength. Turn your eyes upon Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, bringing you back into the fold.That’s true freedom beautiful Morts. We live in the world but are not of it. Sending so much love ❤ Praying for peace and joy in your heart….you are a good man 🙏🏻

[@Del213]

Not convinced - I’ve seen many priests and so called men of gods who would get a whole lot closer to this so called god from a big bag of magic mushrooms 🍄

[@byronhall5145]

Regardless of what happens,keep the body healthy and the mind will follow and vice versa. Id suggest you need a friend who has the same intrests where you can see them on and off and meet up and go travelling etc

[@MaribelLopez-jt4xw]

I love that KZbin channel.

[@lud1593]

Thanks for posting Morts. My wife and I have been wondering about you. We enjoy your videos. Hope you find the path that your happy with. Look after yourself👍

[@BusterCheza]

I have always enjoyed watching your videos and Iv never known why… now I know! What a guy you are absolutely spot on

[@ronaldvine1748]

Please stop feeling sorry for yourself! It's a state of mind! Each day recite all the many things you have to be grateful for! You have loads!!!!

[@lindamca10]

So glad you're back! Such profound words for one so young. I'm 67 always been happy aith my own company like you still happy on my own at this age. We are here to experience the mundane through to the extraordinary which you've done already.....life is just more of it! Keep going and maybe think about putting those beautiful words into a book ....you are here to give to others x

[@maxthedoomer]

The black rug next to you just moved!!

[@netty9534]

Morts! Glad to see you.

[@GoTerry]

I've been following you since the beginning of the build out of the Skoda (?) It had inspired me to build the same in my 98' Volvo S90, a great stealth car, I used it to sleep on the beach in Monterey California, steps away from the water and a restaurant as well as public restrooms... showers on the other hand were a short drive away but still unfinished, I do look forward to the day work slows down enough for me to not only finish that but to do a Box Truck build, I have an old box with just cool looking hardware and a stainless siding, it's amazing but more on you my friend, I also was in the midst of divorce, finalized July 23' since then I've been busy and not watching much of the Morts... and I have to ask because I'm concerned, do you feel therapy might help your disposition or would therapy be a trip to say, California, help a friend out on the Volvo build and maybe stick around for a summer helping on a box truck .. all this could be a therapy, I too could use the therapy and perhaps a new friend.

[@AlexMathersFilms]

Cabin-building it is mate. Sharpen your axe. It’s go time.

[@Lisa-mp7ig]

Morts, you're very eloquent. Why don't you write?

[@haalel5765]

Glad to hear from you. I've been thinking about you, miss your travel posts.

[@greatmack1265]

i am 48 suffered all my life i have scoliosis so have a hunch back so its hard to feel attractive to the opiest sex the fact you have been to university says you have had help& a life imagine been brought up as a kid on a sink estate with nothing never traveled never had nothing just hate for myself and hate for been alive.

[@simracingwales4997]

Get out there like nike says just do it.

[@MurrayFCohen]

You are just so interesting!!

[@ridz9532]

Mate! You have seriously just described my life! WTF? I Started reading about Buddhism and found it had lots of answers to many questions I was seeking. I now considered myself a Buddhist...... Tale care

[@caleemeon]

Liking the introspect mate. Much of what you say seems to resonate on a personal level… apart from passing exams easily 👍🏼

I could write a lot, but the only thing I want to say is: I just think you're great the way you are. I am very grateful to find so much openness and depth on KZbin in a superficial world. Hugs & respect from Germany

[@Laura-op1bp]

Wow! You are the male version of myself. To see God, you need special eyes. Otherwise, you couldn't stand the shock. I too, have seen extraordinary things.

[@jackgreen308]

Mate you have another 40/50 years of life to live. You'll be fine. Love your videos. Go off again and live/work somewhere foreign. Wishing you all the best and hope for more videos.

[@mikemccaine4229]

Possibly one of the best videos you've ever made . You are wise and spiritual.... and young, It's all coming your way. Just be prepared for whatever comes along, I've done the crying and wailing on my knees and I too have had experiences with God. I recommend reading books about Lord Krishna. Changed my life

[@irishjoker3353]

Go on a long hiking route wild camp etc

[@netty9534]

Morts I was not expecting that! As an agnostic you've given me food for thought. I've chosen to travel through life on my own now and stoicism with gratitude is a fine combination for me. You've experienced much and now you are in quite an elite situation having your freedoms to choose and live how you want. Happiness can be a decision. Sending you good wishes..

[@sergionaka7991]

[@Richard-cu8kl]

Hi Morts. Always interested to hear your thoughts! I was living in Japan when you last posted, but I have since eft to start an extended (2 years at least) sabbatical. I'm in Australia now doing workaway stays - have you heard of the scheme? 4-5 hours per day for food and accommodation, with a couple of days off per week. I find that it gives me a purpose in that I am helping older folk get by, but I have plenty of free time to do what I want to do, while barely spending any money. Some beautiful properties too. After a couple of weeks, I move to a different place. That said, I still do think a lot about stuff. I am 42, and happily never married or had kids. I'll be returning to the UK in April and staying with my parents in between workaway stints in mainland Europe, so I feel very similar to you in many respects, which reassures me! I enjoyed learning a bit more about your past in this video, and as the future is uncertain, just appreciate your mother's company while you can - I'm sure she is enjoying having you around :)

[@GeoffreyLee369]

It was great hearing from you. Hang in there friend, you have more support and love than you realize. We ❤ us some Morts!

[@stavros-]

Great to hear your 'catch-up', Morts. Was wondering just the other day what you were up to! Hope you keep finding new adventures. You are in a very good situation with a secure roof over your head so even if you venture out, you've always got a warm and secure base to return to. Maybe break into a few castles in England and camp within their walls like you did at Pevensey that time! Lol.

[@ZappyOh]

Art. Invention. Family. Service to others. ... all can give purpose. Personally, I was in a similar situation as you, 10 years ago. I experienced some spacial challenges with my new small home ... that turned into ideas for solutions, and eventually an invention that motivated me to learn many new skills, and fill both my time and mind with purpose.

[@JasperSmith-ii8oj]

What you need is to get married, have a few children and then you’ll be way too tired and busy to think about abstract thoughts.

[@scottm8914]

Fantastic video morts. Im 34 and have many of the same circumstances as you, your videos always help me to understand im not the only one who thinks of these abstract thoughts in regards to life

[@Sarah-ft8jr]

Thank you for such an interesting and open vlog. I really enjoy listening to peoples psychedelic experiences and it’s good to hear you’re not a sceptic when it comes to the truth. I can’t stand it when people are so closed minded and their whole lives are based on shallow things like Facebook, their social life and what material things they have. Makes me want to slap them. I steer clear of them.

You are feeling sorry for yourself, that can only get worse. You need to snap yourself out of it. I'm similar to you in some ways. You need a rewarding challenge. Go and seek it out. Don't stay inside, go out and seek a tough challenge. Tire yourself. Enjoy the tiredness that you produce.

You need a change of scenery. I would suggest you move out of the U.K to Indonesia and live there for a while....utilise that time to learn the language, immerse yourself in the local Indonesian culture and maybe explore Islam if you want to. I'm not Indonesian but a Muslim and love the Indonesians and Malays and their respective countries. Ramadan is coming up, so i will keep you in my prayers not that you become a Muslim or anything just that God guides you and that you're happy and fulfilled and at peace. All the best. ❤
