For some weird reason this is really relatable for me. I'm not a youtuber, I'm a guy who wanted to study Astronomy. I worked my ass off, I fought off demons to get to the place I was right now, and I was struggling, but I was doing well, I have a lot of great friends around me, I was getting good grades (mostly), but I felt stuck. A lot of things also crossed my paths that worsened the whole experience, and I was struggling in some specific things due to my ADHD and not being able to actually learn from mostly theoretical subjects, and I just didn't know what to do. But I was studying astronomy. I'm the first person in my family to possibly get a bachelors degree in anything. And it's astronomy! How cool is that? My dream was to become someone that is involved in the creation of telescopes, or the one who finds cool stuff in astronomy, and can keep asking himself the most abstract questions. But since I've noticed I'm not made for theoretical work, and really want to get crafty, I notice I couldn't go on. And that's where it differs from your story, because I couldn't find the determination and focus to continue my study. But I did find a new chance. And I'm as determined as ever to get my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics now, and become an engineer who makes parts for telescopes. Something I realized really is my dream. Being able to be crafty AND involved with astronomy. And seeing you reaching your goals, but feeling lost at the same time, and finding a new passion to continue in the same area, but in a different way, resonated with me. It touched me and I shed a tear. I hope you become the best fucking comedian there is.

[@alissa7969]

This is incredible and your story is so empowering, i hope i learn to be as motivated about life as you or tommy are :)

[@RedRidinnHood]

I am so proud of you man, been following you for years now. In these years I got 2 diploma's, loads of new friends, lost interest in watching youtube, got it again, got my first full time job last month and literally grew up with you.

man, this got me crying. i remember a few years ago, you responded to my comment because of this dumb pfp, it was only a 'hello hamilton'. but i was so excited bc not only did i love hamilton and you had recognised and acknowledged it but also because i related to u, some slight loser british kid who always wanted to do something with their life and live up to other peoples expectations and be 'the best'. This whole time i viewed you as one of the greats, an inspiration. Of course i still think that in some capacity, maybe not as much as those couple of years ago where i freaked out you responded to my comment. However, what you said about never feeling like the best, how you find yourself back with that newbie feeling as you try stand up. Youve helped me realise that everyone really is just trying to get by in life, everyone had to start somewhere and had their own role models who they looked up to. Also, goals can change over time, you can achieve them and its alright to feel stagnant for a while but eventually you will find that drive and passion again idc if people clown on this reply, idc tommy aint ever gonna see it, but i needed to get this out. thanks man, wishing u all the best.

What's absolutely insane is that i started watching you at the end of my 8th grade year junior high and now i just graduated high school a whole ass chapter of my life! Iv only been thinking when i watched you how much you grown and changed throughout the years but now im thinking how much iv grown and changed to and o boy its been a lot to. Its crazy that we all grown up together not only you but us to. I get emotional watching some of your videos from the past just like reading my old dms between my and my friends just because how much its contributed to my life. I was worried i would never be able to meet you one day sense i couldn't go to one of your shows when you were touring in the U.S but maybe i still get a chance sense your doing comedy shows i would love to go see it one day i love your comedy and always thought you were hilarious but mu friends think i have broken humor for it but my god i think its gold you bring out so much joy and laughter i hope i can see in person one day but only time could tell. I wish you so much luck and i cant wait to see where everything goes and wish you lots of success we will all grow with you to you brought me though one of my chapters of my life i watched you though one of yours i can not wait to grow alongside with you though another one! And its not only me its all of us all 14.8 million we love you tommy.

[@not_tomz]

Man, I am one year younger than you. I found you during lockdown and I had this idea in my head that you were what I was supposed to look like in a year because you just seemed exactly who I wanted to be and you just seemed perfect. I wasn't doing very well in at the end of 2021/2022, many major life events caused me to be incredibly depressed but I remember watching any stream or video by you made me happier, even if sometimes I was watching just after a breakdown. You interacted with me twice, both times when I asked questions. It felt strange to be a fan of someone you knew was roughly the same age as you, I felt more like I related to you so much more. But I also had this sense of "this is what I could be doing" and I wasn't. Strangely, knowing you weren't this perfect person I saw you as now honestly makes me feel a lot better in who I am and that we're all struggling, we're there to lift each other up. I may not watch you or anyone else as much, and my interests have certainly changed over the past few years (even though I thought I would be part of this side of the internet forever) but I can say with certainty you are one of my biggest inspirations and I hope you know how much having someone like you made life a bit more easier when I needed it most. So for that I just wanted to say thank you, even if you never see this. All the best with whatever you do next x

Tommy, thank you so much for everything you have done. The way i've said this makes it sound like you're quitting. But I started watching you during covid. Covid was tough for me, I had just lost my grandmother and I got diagnosed with a chronic illness, but every time I saw you upload a video or stream, I would tune into it. I had an old account where I used to post videos, but that account got deleted and I wasn't even told why. When I made a new account I completely forgot about everyone I used to watch in the Dsmp and I got into hermitcraft instead. But you helped me out of my toughest times and you motivated me to make videos. I don't know if I will start making them again, maybe when I go to college and get comfortable there, but I'm not sure. Thank you again for everything you have done, you will continue to be an inspiration to others. People come and go, and that saying applies to fans as well, people loose interest in everything. I know even if people loose interest, you will always put a smile on people's faces.

To be Honest, i don't even remember when i started watching you. I just know the first video i ever watched from the whole dsmp youtubers, was yours. You were sitting in your room, in a Discord call with Quackity and other People and made Sandwiches/Taco's how others recomended it. And the amount of Salt you have put on yours. It was so funny. Since then i was Watching your videos. It was so good. I am very similar to you. At that time i felt bad for being myself, because people said i was weird and i hid away behind masks. But you were just out there being yourself and it gave me so much energy just doing things i really like. I am the same age as you, well some months older but still. I always had the dream to start youtube and Twitch. You really lived my dream all along. You Are a very strong Person Tommy. You helped me through the Coronavirus time. You made me believe in myself, doing what i want, being myself while doing it. And Just seeing how far you got, gives me the energy doing it the same. I started Twitch in February or March. And now having a Png Tuber and everything. My energy left me for the summer, to keep streaming but it will come back sooner or later. And in general: Thank you Tommy, for everything. For being someone in my age, doing so wonderful and cool things. Making someone feel, that it is possible. Not like the older KZbinrs where you think you need to be in their age to fulfill your Dreams. You are inspiring man. Be proud of yourself, you really are awesome!

[@multi.instrumentalist]

I've wanted to be a KZbinr for years, but it's always been sharing a seat with my love of music. I released my first album because of the lockdowns in 2020, and my grades were saved too. I still feel like I don't really know what specifically I want for myself, but it's really motivating to know that you've had to find a new source of purpose at times. I'm so glad you're happy.

This video was insane. As a kid stuck in 2020 covid, you were my biggest inspiration. My school life sucked, and it was even worse with no social connections online, but your videos always made me live the moment and laugh relentlessly to the point I’d have to pause the video. I’ve always seen you as someone who just knows what to do, you just seemed so put together. But knowing how hard things behind the scenes were for you now, it’s sad to know millions of people go through daily depression or just physical issues. But knowing to keep going for your passion so important. You really show how to emphasize that you need to keep going, keep moving onto your biggest dream. And if you don’t find one? Keep searching. I don’t think I would’ve ever been as brave as I am now with out having seen your confidence, even if it may have been fake or faltered. It helped so much to see someone be so bold, yet nothing was wrong with it. Anyone can be so brave and courageous and try new things. Sorry if this is long but I remembered just so many things ever since Covid and the Dsmp era. I really hope you can achieve whatever dream you’re shooting for now.

thank you!!! it's so inspiring and also a bit bittersweet to basically grow up with a generation of youtubers... thank you for sharing your story with us!

Honestly, never cried at Tommyinnit video before. All that's in my head right now is "Be yourself" because being yourself is what makes me truly happy and probably other people too. I began to rethink starting youtube career, being with my friends and letting go of fear of how i would look or sound infront of 1000 people. Thanks, really made my day.

It’s been a full 4 year journey since I have watched your videos Tommy. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate and thankful I am that the the videos you have made during quarantine, these video helped me get through it and watch you grow up with us and now that you’re an adult it hits different because looking back on the videos now it makes me realize how much of an impact you have made on not only me but a lot of us. And for that thank you TommyInnit -Jay

[@nala3186]

I don't comment often because I think "whats the point no one's gonna read this" but on the off chance this gets seen, this was one hell of an inspiring video Tommy. I've been battling insecurity for a long long time and having the same listlessness. Its not as comparable considering you're famous, but I never had the courage you did to just grind and be myself. This kind of a message, this kind of a video seriously makes me appreciate you for who you are, beyond the memes, beyond the popularity, beyond the child of the internet, beyond the DSMP, all of it. Really digging this new down to earth content, I connect and resonate with it so much more. Its genuinely inspiring, as I think about what I want to do, and the first thought that comes to mind is 'monetize it, perhaps you'll make money, make it your career, make it your life' when thats just not the case. I shouldn't be doing these things for monetization, I should be doing them for me. I just yapped alot, but doesn't matter, I got it off my chest. Have a good one man, appreciate it A SHOCK THIS BLEW UP I WAS SUPER EXPECTING THIS TO FADE INTO OBSECURITY WOW, THANKS

When you said the part about how everyone is a person kinda made me want to cry and I genuinely think I will carry this with me the rest of my life, thank you so much for all the joy you have given.

Honestly, Tommy. I'm so proud of you! You're achieving your dreams. I'm 20 myself and finding yourself isn't easy. Keep following your dreams and I can't wait to see where you take your life. You have brightened so many people's lives with your videos and your comedy. Keep going, my friend ❤❤

I am almost 23 years old, I've been a fan of Yours since about november 2020 - I was in a pretty sad place back then, and your videos and streams really brightened thath time up. And then, came 2021 and mod videos, which I absolutely loved... Well man, I just want to say that your videos were a really big part of my life in 2020 - 2022 and I just want to thank you for this. It was incredible to watch you grow, both as a youtuber and as a person in general, because in that time - I was changing a lot too, so yeah. It's been hell of a ride, these last couple of years. And you have been a very important part of that journey in my life. Thank you for everything Tommy. Now onwards, the future awaits!

"End of Beginning" by DJO playing in the background was kind of symbolic. It's nice to hear your story Tommy, it's an inspiration to anyone, whether or not they want to become a youtuber. You're doing an awesome job!

[@yoruizzz]

what part was it? :0

[@mohammedalbazooni3808]

The djo song at the end wasn’t “end of beginning”, it was “chateau (feel alright)” :) Edit: if you look in the description, it should show songs by DJO that have played in the video, but end of beginning wasn’t played (as far as I know)

[@yoruizzz]

@@mohammedalbazooni3808 thank you!!:D

[@LilKiwiBoi42]

End of Beginning played right before Chateau. It made me laugh because I've been listening to DJO since Joe's music wasn't nearly as well known and it throws me off everytime I hear it as background music! I wasn't expecting it in a Tommyinnit video!​@@mohammedalbazooni3808

Thanks tommy, for telling us. Im a long time viewer, and this honestly toughed me. It sounded genuine, im glad you got to share with us a bit of yourself. Im just happy youve found somewhere to direct your obviously immense creativity, and that you have people who can stand by you wherever that energy takes you.

[@boguszmakowski2357]

It's really sad that children will always hate on every creative outlet anyone has. To me, releasing a video with this much self-confidence is extermely impressive overall, more so at that age. Feels like humanity is just trash by default, only having to learn the concept of understanding that they are not, in fact, the ultimate form.

[@Julian-Lehmann]

Woah, that's honestly based

[@yapy326]

Tommy, Though you're a year younger than me, we are growing up at the same time. Though our lives are different, the sentiments you get across about feeling lost in a changing situation around you hold true to me. I feel like in this changing world, in my changing body, and my changing mind, I am losing myself, and growing into something different. I notice it in my friends and family around me, in the new expenses I have to worry about, and in how I feel after I get home from a long day of work. It feels like no one else notices, yet they're all going through it. You are so right that everyone is just struggling, trying their best in their lives, and to hear it from someone else is reassuring. Anyway, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has had to re-learn how to be myself in the past little while. It's a long process but I am hopeful that the person I'll be when I come out the other side of this will be someone I'm happy to be... ..and for that to happen, being myself is the only way forward! Here's to the views

[@brenna1425]

I remember you hit 4mil Christmas of 2020 and I was watching your stream and I was so so proud, watching this video now it so sweet

[@Fongrr]

This just gave me an extra boost to continue my journey on KZbin. It took me 7 years to hit 10k subs then all of a sudden, the algorithm wants to be kind to my channel and make my shorts go viral to help me hit 20k subs and it feels so unreal. It may take me years to hit 100k but with determination, I believe i can make it as big as you! Your story was so inspirational. I will keep coming back to this whenever i need a little bit of a push!💯❤

[@Vehmura]

Tom, you've been a big inspiration to me during my teenage years, and you'll continue to be that. Because, those 4 or 5 years ago you showed me that with motivation and a bit of confidence, even as a youngster, you can make shit happen. Now these years later I still look up to you in the same way. You have matured and evolved with your content, but I have grown with the same rate. I started watching you at 13 and I'll be turning 18 in a couple months. And it's kinda weird to think that your stuff never got old for me, but it's a really cool feeling too. I've found my comfort channel, and I'm here to stay. I'm so sorry for all the shit the Internet has done to you, not many people had the same experience as you; I mean coming out of lockdown not realizing you changed your whole fucking life in your room.. but it makes me happy to see you kicking ass in life right now. Cheers Tom, you're the best.

[@jaywolf4824]

Right now, nothing feels more relatable to me than that moment he was talking about when you’ve hit that milestone you’ve been working towards for so long and reach that dead end of not knowing what to do next - especially in conjunction with having gone through a series of really shitty misfortunes/experiences and losing enjoyment/motivation in the things around you. That definitely hit home, though obviously the circumstances are extremely different. It’s something I’ve been struggling with (though I’m obviously not going into personal detail). It kind of helps to hear someone experiencing the same thing and just that reminder to take a step back and reevaluate - especially the reminder that it’s okay to take a step back and reevaluate - feels like what I needed to hear. I think it would be fair to say that this video has really helped me feel more validated and more self-aware of how much I’ve matured over these past years than I did previously. Just solely for no other reasons than that this video just feels really grounding while up until this point a lot of stuff has just felt absurdly surreal and that something about seeing evidence of Tommy’s maturity feels nostalgic in a way. It feels like seeing evidence of officially turning over a new chapter even though it’s probably already been going on unofficially for a while. Just that kind of acknowledgment that something has progressed makes the idea of taking the new steps easier so I’m grateful I watched this video.

[@FadiFlashi]

I didn't want this video to end 🥺so genuine and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your Incredible story 😭♥

[@SomebodyUnamed]

This is so cool. Honestly love seeing videos like this from youtubers like you. You're like all my inspiration to do twitch and youtube since im only like a year or two younger than you or some crazy shit (just turned 18 last month) and it just makes me realise that at somepoint I'll be able to do something like this too- rn i dont have the money to really do youtube, but I've at least been trying to grow my subscriber count for when I can. 80 subs ain't bad for me, but I would kill for at least 100 lol. Then I see you with 14 million and that just seems so crazy- thanks for being my inspiration. o7
