You Can’t Label Me and Put Me in Any of Society’s Boxes. I’m My Own Box 📦

[@Purozangue]

A phrase an old head told me years ago, "you will not please everyone, someone will get offended by something." That's the truth.

[@sab_1055]

Old head - haven't heard that one in a while. :)

[@alexharris9455]

I love your intro. People will get offended by everything. It's not that deep.

[@LZ-un7ky]

Omg love it … yeah it’s not that deep lol

[@jimsalmon5158]

If you have a KZbin channel with over 150k subscribers, and you don’t have a few haters, you’re not doing it right!

[@ErnestThoughtsPodcast]

Hell, as a channel with far less than 150K subs I get hateful comments on my videos every week. It is what it is 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SLOC1488]

why do you hate tim?

[@sandinogallese8221]

That reminds me of the tagline for the movie The Social Network: 'You Don't Get to 500 Million Friends Without Making a Few Enemies.' 😅😬

😂😂😂

[@CBONITA333]

@@TimothyWard Tim, I’m glad you addressed the intro, because I was wondering why you used boy when you are a man. But if you like it, who am I to say otherwise. Personally, I would not use it but it is your life and your choice. Respect! ❤

[@Topg1]

I’m black and there is nothing wrong with your introduction. I love the nature walks.

[@freyaaurorawilding]

I've slept in nearly ALL of those places as a single mom with my kids and we've ALWAYS been safe! 8 years. The only place I haven't tried is in the lot of a car dealership, but I have slept curbside at a few! It is a great, informative video. Too many people are afraid. Or they try this in questionable areas. You have to be smart and use your intuition. For example, I'd never do it in certain areas of Memphis or LA. Great vid as always

[@BigReptileCrew]

As an Englishman, who has enjoyed your content here on KZbin for many years now, I think that you should address yourself as either 'Lord' or 'Sir'. Keep up the good work 💪🏻👍🏻

[@BigReptileCrew]

Or maybe 'Legend' 😄

[@baldeagle4710]

i used to feel insecure because i wasn't a cookie cutter person with a career, a house, a spouse, and 2.5 kids. but now I am SOOO happy and thankful I didn't get tied down with all that crap. i have a great job but i also have a ton of other interests and i travel a lot. i never plan on "settling down", im always looking for new adventures.

[@razzikatta]

Yet another absolutely perfect response to people's petty opinions and preferences

[@ZaneChandy]

Hey Tim! I can totally relate to where you’re coming from and how you’re currently feeling about living near Denver, Colorado. I recognized from your early videos that you were in Montana and other parts of the Midwest but I didn’t know where exactly you were situated. I moved to Ames, Iowa, from Florida for college (one of my passionate goals because i love being around learners) about a year ago and the vibe contrast can certainly be witnessed on a personal level. I’m a 31-year old brown Asian male and while I knew on some level what to expect out here, what threw me off-guard was the homogenous demographic along with it’s culture and pre-conceived notions toward outsiders. In Florida, I felt like the most introverted person in the world. Here I feel like the most extroverted person lol not because it’s the reality but that’s how out-of-place I feel. The USA is certainly a vast territory, more vast than we make it out to be. I don’t want to sound like a whiny baby. In fact, I didn’t encounter many problems in Iowa at all. I got what I wanted, a safe and affordable place. It’s just people can pick up on Floridian traits that I wasn’t even aware existed until I moved. I can’t get rid of this deep-seated fear that maybe if I was white the move and transition would’ve been more of a piece-of-cake for me. I’m not bashing Iowa or jumping to any conclusions. Maybe I’m even being irrational and judgemental. It’s just that the state hasn’t lived up to my expectations or what it even claims to be, at least not yet. With how its society is structured, I can see why young people don’t stick around long. But I won’t be giving up on Iowa just yet. Definitely won’t be going near the small towns anytime soon. It’s also no secret that Iowa is a red state so I would assume that with Colorado being a blue state it would be more diverse and liberal. However, as I’m getting older it seems the party lines are getting harder to define, specifically in the Midwestern and Northeastern states. Anyways, sorry for my long ramble. Love your channel as always and thank you for the inspiring content you produce. Keep us posted on how it is out there and God speed!

[@kareemmohammed5270]

[@wendywilson-fall3230]

[@Iamthekingshy]

People are really offended by your intro? Don't even worry about them 😂😂😂 Those people need to seek mental help if they're THAT insecure 😂😂😂

[@Ascending-Transcending]

Anyone can see that you a here in good faith, Tim, so don't apologise for being you. If a person is secure in their own self they wouldn't be able to be offended by anything, wouldn't care what anybody said, water off a duck's back. People seem desperate to cling to labels, whether through identity politics or the branded clothes they wear... none of it is needed, it's enough to just be yourself. The greatest realisations I've had in my life are that I don't need external validation, and that I don't need to let any person impose upon me their beliefs, faith, politics, ideologies etc. Love the walk and talk with the GoPro. Here in the UK the BBC have made some series of walking programmes the same way, with the addition of some drone footage (but that would require production crew!).

[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

There is no need to apologize Tim !

[@jsnaggz]

I don't know if Tim Ward understands how deep he got with this video. It's as if he unassumingly started to record a talk on potentially the most important burden on humanity: the divide and conquer initiative. Breaking free of the fear and division is how you take your power back. 💯👊✌

[@petermuller4265]

I’m offended over being offended. So sad what pansies this country has become in such a short time.

[@VanessaRenda-r2p]

I like when you say that❤ I did not know that boy was offensive . I love everything about your channel 😊 Nature is my happy place!

[@Load2DeliverLLC]

Mr. Tim I followed your channel probably about four 25 years ago. For the mind in me, I could not find your channel. I recently stumbled across it again and subscribed again. I used to follow your channel when I was living in my car in North Carolina. Good to see you in good health good to see you have the same spirit. Continue to be who you are as you probably will. On the basis of what other people think based on putting you or anyone else in the box I agree with you continue to live outside the box. Continue to be outside of Tim 6 foot 455 pounds dark skin let those gonna put you in those kind of Boxes be who they are. I’m happy to be back following your channel and just know that there are brothers like me that don’t mind you saying bro son welcome back to my channel Homie whatever you say man black power brother. Lol.

[@newdiffrentbetter]

I really really really appreciate the nature views 🤗 and the respect of being quite while you walked past the fisherman... you rock 🪨... nature pun 😂

[@loririckert7489]

Love your attitude and belief system. You definitely are an inspiration to me! If everyone had this belief system (you do you and I'll do me) the world would be a better place!❤ Keep doing what you are doing. Many are listening! Thank you😊

[@melberg6821]

Good for you Tim. You keep being you-our Boy Tim!

[@quit2quilt525]

I’m sorry you even have to address this nonsense topic Tim. As black people we have more serious issues to address, such as black on black violence that’s all over the place. I can’t believe some black ppl are bothered by the word “boy”!! And it’s not even used in the context of race! Ridiculous. We’re going to continue to stay behind everyone else as a ppl until we prioritize our most important issues within our community. Keep delivery as you should. I’m certainly not offended. As a matter of fact.. new subscriber here 😉

[@Avery_4272]

Exactly - no self-imposed boxes or believing those who promote that limiting notion. I love all the things you said about that topic. Your 'energy' is in alignment with the truth, Tim! Oh - loved the sunflowers, too! I always smile when I see them around our neighborhood - they're like a dose of happiness!

[@tiffanyrobinson4719]

Tim, do you! I'm one of your people and I don't see a problem with the intro nor overall content❤

[@Darkleaf-Music]

I love your intro. I repeat it back whenever I start one of these videos and it really gets me in the vibe. I missed it in past videos where you stopped doing it for a while.

[@nothingtofind9099]

This is a fantastic video! In some ways identities do help us at times familiarize ourselves with our personal experiences, but in other ways they harm us particularly when outsiders confine us to boxes.

[@texasgoddess323]

Hey, Tim! I’m one of those people who made a comment about you referring to yourself as “boy”. I truly apologize for the offense. I was coming from a space of respect: boy vs. man and not from an historical perspective from here in the U.S. I absolutely would’ve made the same comment to Joe Rogan had he introduced himself as “boy” in all of his videos. I made the comment out of the great respect and admiration I have for you and your world view. Anyway, YOU continue to do YOU! I’m still watching. Love ya!🌻💛

[@darlene19668]

The more I watch this video the better it gets...keep up good work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kasmstamps1897]

I'm open to receiving wisdom. I'm also open to things might change and i might be sleeping in a car. My home is paid off but still need to pay rates, water &, insurance still sensible. Thank you for sharing. You are braver than me Tim.

[@positivelypurposeful8522]

I feel the exact same way about labels! I want to go and internationally work and solo travel in a place that has been defined to be “dangerous”. Even though the place I visited was the exact opposite. And im learning that when you begin to think outside of the box, the powers that be will do everything they can to poison your view so that you become too afraid to move forward . Been so inspired by your content, please keep making it!!

Being near any body of water and mountains always lifts my spirit and so do your videos thank you for being you and continuing to inspire and help so many with your positive attitude! I love how you appreciate the sunflowers and the little things that some may find mundane but you really take the time to appreciate everything. I’m almost 2 weeks sober now, your videos are helping me stay strong thank you 🙏🏼 Also this is random but do you have Sians number or could you give him mine? I’ve been trying to reach him for a while and would really love to catch up with him. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@QBFoxMan]

I upload content across other accounts too. And trust me...randos complain about the DUMBEST little stuff all the time. Just comes with the territory lol It really is true that it is ALWAYS something more to do with them than you. Especially if the thing you did to "irritate" them wasn't remotely offensive or inflammatory in any way. 😂 These toxic NPCs exist everywhere. We can say a prayer for em, but at the same time we don't have to change anything we do for em. Keep doing you, Tim! And thanks for all the motivation bro. You helping me through some dark days.

[@michaelrm83]

Good video Tim and the gopro is showing the scenery very well. Your intro is great and it would be odd if you changed it to please others, get more views, or for marketing reasons. You're a "real" human doing real things. Labels are useful descriptions for communication and thats about it.

[@outdoors2476]

The new camera and video quality is great!!!, sound on point, message on point. The walk and talk is cool and having CO as a backdrop doesnt hurt. Keep doing you!!!

[@victoriasage7]

Hi Tim! I’m so glad you’re talking about labels, I think society has taken that whole concept a little too far! And then we don’t notice how that limits us

Great video, Tim. I think everybody could work on their empathy gene. Your videos always resonate with me. Thanks.🙏

[@sab_1055]

You're a gem. Keep being you. I love the intro. It's warm and inviting and a great branding statement. Regarding the safety comment, maybe it came from the profound pain of being subjected to violence and control. There is no help, often no escape. and it's infuriating. You probably have a good reason for rarely commenting on remote jobs, but it would be so helpful if you could make a recommendation or two. I want to start, but choosing a place with so little information is daunting. I'm afraid of landing in a toxic environment. Don't be mad. I've been listening, but a lot of my fearlessness was stolen from me.

[@edunlap6594]

[@jeremytorgersen]

Great video! (Those birds are Pelicans, love seeing them!) Colorado is a cool place, lots of lakes, parks, and trails in the Denver metro area. I currently live in SLC, UT which has many perks but I always enjoy my visits to Colorado as well. The new GoPro seems to have great video quality. Are you using a different microphone with it or the stock sound of the GoPro...sound is good also either way, just curious. Labels definitely are a slippery slope and can end up creating a life story that we get molded to. I try to view "labels" in terms of verbs in describing how life seems to me rather than a noun...not always easy to do. I am neuro-divergent, however I am using that label to better understand and find ways to better navigate this world rather than to put me inside of a box that I definitely do not fit into. So much of society's narratives are just stories that people came up with that either worked for them or they wanted to impose on other people for their own benefit.

[@Omonike88]

Tim folks are sensitive. It's the times right now. Folks are in debt and want a distraction from THEIR problems. My Samsung does the same thing, and I can show from and back at the same time.

[@ricarellan]

💯

[@markcobby667]

Love the new format, Tim. Great to see how your continuing growth translates to your channel. Also, interesting to hear you talk about rejecting labels. Fascinating to think how these constructs hold us back, create barriers that divide us and define who we are in an otherwise chaotic mess. I guess we need some, but the interesting thing I think is deciding which ones serve us and which ones hold us back….and then communicating this to others who are similarly constrained by these limiting thoughts?🤔 Great channel for the free thinkers btw👍

[@Casualgamer766]

Hi Tim, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely love your content and your energy. Our brains use a filtering system, a priming filter to attract or attempt to attract like-minded signatures, for example, a depressed person may see a more depressing world, a happy soul may see a happier world, a angry person will see anger, all kinds of scenarios. We attract what we need in order to grow past our limitations 11:11 enabling us to wake up further into and onto a higher frequency.
