I came to the heart breaking conclusion yesterday that I wasn’t really loving myself. I thought I was. I put on a good show, but deep down I felt like a mistake or a failure. I related so much to what you said about feeling willing to be kind to others but not being kind to yourself. For me, it came out of a fear of not being seen as worthless. Embracing who I am and my faults is something I’m going to work on. It won’t be easy but I’ll take it one day at a time. Thank you for this man, I really needed to hear this
This popped up in my feed right after i had a sorta meltdown. My whole life ive referred to my self as the go with the flow guy. Sometimes i didnt even think i was in control of my own life. In recent years i have noticed being kind to myself is something i have neglected my whole life. Seeing this video is just another push in the right direction for me. Thank you cold stone man
This video was everything. Im 38 and stuck in life with no real direction and see myself as a loser a lot of the time when I compare myself to my peers. This video reminded me I need to just be kinder to myself and refocus on what makes me happy.
Gosh Dylan the timing of this video was needed. Your words of wisdom touched my heart..When you said, ”Im proud of you”.I literally cried😭 this year has been hell for me but it also has been a reflective year as well. So thank you for this video ice cream man😊
Thank you for always being so kind and commenting! I remember your profile picture and always look forward to see what you think! And you should be so proud!
Great video, Dylan! I unfortunately had to take a huge bite of life recently when my dad passed. This video reminded me that everything I’ve gone through has prepared me for this, like learning healthy ways to cope for example. On a positive note, I got an entry position at my dream job for this coming summer, I wouldn’t have gotten it if it wasn’t for the experience I got from working at Cold Stone for the past 2 years… and I wouldn’t have thought of working here if it wasn’t for you videos, so thank you!🐘
Definitely needed this. I recently moved back home after one year of university as I felt it wasn't for me. I'm 20 years old, a part time security officer but have recently put most of, if not all my time in music production. I managed to release my first single but at the same time as my life has started to feel so repetitive, it's difficult to imagine a future when everyone else around me seems to crush every little thing I get excited about. Even tho life seems difficult, I will continue to fight. Trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time 💙🙏
The world needs more Dylan-esque vibes, that’s for sure. 🥺 It’s not your usual content, but I _really_ liked this video and I see others did, too. Hearing your thoughts on boundaries and self-awareness really hit. 🐘 I’m kind of in the same spot. And you’re right, self-love comes first of all. We don’t need any less of it. Thought I’d have this life-thing a little more figured out at nearly 32, but… meh, not really. Does anyone ever? Maybe not. But getting better at it - that we can do. Went to uni, became a UX designer, loved the job, but couldn’t handle the pressure of constant deadlines, cycling design iterations, demanding clients, et ceteraaaa. I’m an introspective, somewhat anxious, friendly, analytical creative, but THAT kind of environment was exhausting. Not knowing myself well enough to see the mismatch made me physically ill (recovering). I’m not fully a go-with-the flow type of person, no, but I have traits of it, and I have things to work on - obviously. Great video. :)
Also, and this is just for my future self (but also because in writing I’m the rambliest person to ever ramble (I really need to transfer that energy into creativity somehow, ugh, that’s for my list)): 1) Look into adjacent careeer areas 2) Re-evaluate friendships (loyalty is good, but yea, I don’t know what’s happening….) 3) Find a creative outlet for self-expression, because mega-long Reddit- and RUclips comments just won’t cut it, let’s be real 4) Re-evaluate my soul-shattering crush on a musician who hasn’t walked on earth for 30 years (HAHAHA SAVE me. 😂 It’s somewhat of a joke, but it ties neatly into the concept of what you let inside your head, and indirectly, what you put out there…) Yea, that’s the end of this friggin journal entry. Thanks, me!
I GET MADE FUN OF ALL THE TIME!!! JUST BECAUSE I'M DISABLED!!!! (I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR, DO TO A BIRTH DEFECT.) I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT EVERYDAY. BUT AS I GOT OLDER, I STARTED STANDING UP FOR MYSELF. (HA, HAI CAN JOKE ABOUT IT TOO😂😂) NOW THAT I'M OLDER. SO EVERY TIME I SEE SOMEONE GETTING PICKED ON, I HELP THEM FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES.
I appreciate the kind words! Needed this so much. Been on the fence of going to therapy (provided by work) to get through this winter slump and this video definitely cemented this.
Thank you for posting this Dylan. You openly talked about a topic that not everyone wants to talk about but that everyone needs to hear. I just found your content a couple of weeks ago but have since watched more and more since you are so genuine and kind. Thank you for this video and all your other videos and good luck in the new year 🐘!
Go with the flow I love your content never give up and I’ve been subscribed for a couple years now whenever I feel sad and you made a new video I already know it’s gonna be a good day
Thank you, the last few weeks was really hard for me. I'm depressed and behind in uni and it's just so much that I have to learn for uni and it overwhelmes me so much that I dont know where to start, and I tried breaking it down into smaller steps but I'm scared I can't do it, so I don't even want to start. But maybe tomorrow is the day (I don't have high hopes, but we will see) That part with being kind to yourself really got me thinking, like how I would protect and care for others but I wouldn't do the same for me
My university experience was very similar! I struggled in the very same way. But one thing I noticed looking back is that even tho I was overwhelmed and maybe didn’t get everything done you only need to pass. So do as much as you can. It’s better to try then to fully give up. If you decide you can only do 80% of the work to feel not overwhelmed only do 80%. You’ll still end up with a B or C. Then once you’re done with 80% and you have extra time try to do the 90%. I’d make a list of all my assignments and rank them in order of most important for each class. Then I’d pick the assignments that I should spend the most time and stress on. That way I would decrease the work load and help me feel less stressed. I hope this isn’t confusing and is a little helpful! Best of luck. You got this!
This helped a lot, I’ve been scared to come out of the closet for a super long time and have even been uncomfortable telling my open minded dad, this helps a lot and I will eventually tell everyone in my extended family and my other friends that aren’t extremely close (I already told my mom, a few friends, and my brother)
Today in school I got yelled at for no reason as I am holding back tears, my classmate comes and comforts me. That was probably the best feeling of my life. ❤☺️🥺
And I can soooo UNBELIEVABLY certainly say, that the one thing that helped me feel unstuck, as I felt at the beginning at the year, is God(and please dont take this as, oh yeah this kid just said it to sound good, NO, I am a 100% honest right now, and God can and will and wants to help you, but it is a choice, your choice🫶
the way I actually love this guy /p Dylan makes my day so much better, Im 12 and I used to watch him when I was 9 I recently refound this channel and I felt so much nostalgia (I'm still young but..idk) I love this channel you get the best out of both parts: watching a guy and his ice cream journey and getting advice at the same time. He used the best small examples for such a big topic and I find that fascinating. Ill continue to watch this channel every day when I come from school wether I'm bed rotting or doing my homework. love you dawg 🐘 YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!
Yeah If you notice the second time I mention it I don’t say aux. but I didn’t want to fix the first time because it adds context to my age and my story
ah k, makes sense. 💯 Yea, no shame in that. Everyone's gonna age, things are going to be discontinued or not be used anymore in the future, compared to how it may be now. We all are gonna get old someday 🙃 😄.
Can you pin it’s my bd in a few days I swear I don’t lie
Happy Birthday!

Aww sending so many virtual hugs! 🫂
This video has so much effort and real feelings.
Thank you Dylan, I needed this. And let's eat this elephant together 💕🐘

You got this! So happy you recognized university wasn’t for you!
Thank you Dylan I really needed this and I’ve been a fan of you for a few years, I really appreciate you. 💕
Thankful for you
The “go with the flow” mentality spoke to me 😮💨🐘
Same, I’m exactly like that too
Spreading good vibes brings you good vibes, you know?
Exactly!
This was soooooo good!!!!! Really needed to hear this.
I don’t expect this video to perform as well as normal. But I hope this meant something to you! I know it’s what I needed. Thankful for you! 🫶
Hi Dylan I’m a huge fan I love your videos and you’ve inspired me to hopefully get to work at an ice cream place😁
Dylan this video hleps me in many ways . Cause im not always positive with myself.
I need this… Thank you… 🐘

3:44 made me come to the conclusion that he is chills in disguise
But I’m actually Dylan Lemay 😊
As a 14 yr old, this is so relatable
