The first time I watched this video I just finished university and stated my career. Watched it again just over 2 years later and my goodness I can relate so heavily with the feeling of being lost. My goal was for me and my partner to get a house and after months of saving and additional months of dealing with obtaining a mortgage - We finally did it. It was great at first but now 7 or 8 months in I have this feeling of emptiness. I know I need a new goal but lord knows where to start. I wish you all the best dude and hope you're getting on okay. We're gonna' smash this.

I was gifted Borderlands 2 in 2016 by a friend and when I really got into it I started looking for content about the game. Thank you for helping me enjoy an amazing game and equally amazing community. Take your time to get things fixed, you deserve some additional rest after you've got things sorted.

[@a-7-781]

This seems to be happening to a lot of youtubers lately. I'm glad you and all the others I've seen are taking time for yourselves to try and sort stuff out rather than pushing on and making it worse

Still miss him. Shame, one of the most calming voices I've ever listened to.

[@jimpekar1536]

I have been watching you for years - you were a staple during my BL2 days. I have always appreciated your videos for their quality content. For me though, what set you apart was the authenticity in terms of how you seemed genuinely passionate for what you were creating. This video is no exception. Hope you are able to find some solace during your sabbatical brother!

Not trying to be rude, or tell you how to live life, but I've found that creative writing can spark some new inspiration. Even if it's just poems, or full on books of a few chapters, what you write might lead you to a new goal, the mind works strangely like that, believe me.
