Hello! I am still obviously working through these things...if you are left with any questions after watching this video, I'd love to think about them in another video. Leave them in reply here:

Nothing like a good existential crisis over pasta during Christmas season

[@Symphing12]

OMG this is like really old vlogbrothers. Amazing.

I got dx with stage 4 colon cancer at 40. I bought this Barbour coat i wanted, because it lasts a lifetime. I also got a puppy. It was a bit nutty, but it was how i dealt with my mortality. 5 years later, i took my dog for a walk in the rain in my coat today. It was glorious. You just do the best you can, and find joy where you can. Just not in elf pasta ;) Best wishes!

When I had cancer I had a similar feeling only I was 16. The conclusion I have come to after living an additional 18 years so far is, life isn't a journey where you find meaning. It is a journey where you are constantly creating meaning.

This is some pretty massive progress along the way to John and Hank fully switching places

HANK IS ON A JOURNEY OF MEANING!

"Things are interesting. And I want to keep seeing them." is honestly the most moving anti-suicide statement I've ever heard.

[@zmanzono]

I am a very forgetful person and it bothered me for a while that I don't remember the names and faces of teachers and others who were foundational to who I am now. I finally realized that even though I can't name them, I'm still the person they made me, and being myself is honoring them.

The Vlogbrothers comment sections are truly the most thoughtful place on KZbin. Happy holidays, everyone! Here’s to many more thoughts to share.

[@spark-matter]

You hit the nail on the head with "I think when you stop wanting, that's the bad part". That's my constant struggle as a person with a chronic illness, it's hard with a more limited set of options for things I can want. Hence why my wheelchair has been upgraded significantly over time cuz sometimes "go faster" is the only thing I can convince myself to want haha. Seriously though, I'm glad to not be the only one thinking about mortality at odd times, there's comfort in the community aspect of the existential crisises.

Look at all that curly hair 🤗

[@abdullahenani9670]

Chester was the star of the video despite the brief cameo.

[@41-Haiku]

Nothing lasts forever, but we don't stop listening to a symphony just because we know it will eventually end.

[@susanheld]

In Anthony Rapp's book Without You, which I read the year my dad died, he talks about advice his friend gave him on grieving: "You have to mourn the loss of who that person held you to be. Because that dies with them. Their vision of you no longer exists. And a whole world of who you are is gone."

[@unclepappy3823]

i've seen Chester for all of .5 seconds and clearly he is perfect, handsome, and i love him. thank you for the opportunity to witness such awesome feline prowess.

[@inMuro]

I am still in awe at how simultaneously ON POINT as wel as completely scatterbrained you are, whilst exuding the most mirthful charm, even whilst talking about dark topics.

[@Andi-gq4yo]

the new curls are absolutely /making/ the will ferrell visual

[@Karishma_Unspecified]

"Wanting things together" is probably the best secular meaning to life I have come across. I will make sure to have this in my back pocket for when my Faith in <insert belief system here> wanes. I find that meaning is a very important tool to fight against the darkness, and I have a lot of it in my life right now. Thanks Hank! DFTBA!
