    I honestly appreciate your videos! The realism and truth is really inspiring to me, 2024, I tried far too hard to succeed and it all went downhill like a car off a cliff! Many things went so wrong, I was nearly unemployed but my family looked after me and 2025 I’ve decided to not make choices and ride the gear as it comes. Basic plan..
    Ps, belated happy Birthday and hope your 25 will be better!

    Happy Birthday, Alex! Keep striving to move forward. You have a wonderful presence and a kind nature. Your videos inspire me because they show you navigating the challenges life throws at us, but you manage to look at the ups when things feel down. I hope all is well and that the new year will be better.

    Happy Birthday again!
    This last year has been absolutely hellish for me also. I have always suffered with a good bit of anxiety and depression. Not to say this for pity, just purely for context. I tend to feel better when I'm alone for long periods. I find it hard to socialise with more than a few people at a time. Who knows what's wrong there but I've always known I'm a bit different.
    I got made redundant from a good work from home job in Estate Agency and after frantically applying to many other positions and successfully getting three further jobs... none of which worked out.
    I ended up working in a Warehouse for nightshift. Felt like going back to square one, I've did enough lower end jobs and at this age it's not really where I want to be obviously it's easy to compare to my friends/family and their sucess.
    The culture shock plus being around people again was intense and so was turning day into night. Had to relearn a lot of things that I didn't realise I'd lost. I honestly felt like I've had to rebuild myself.
    Started with over a few grand in debt with all the job hopping plus had to find another couple of grand to go abroad for my sisters wedding...now just bought a car and passed my driving test eight months ago and debt free. Got a forklift licence and paid Christmas paid too.
    I've came to the conclusion that I'm not meant to be the social office guy or warehouse guy or salesman I'm happy on my own, with friends and family during my weekends.
    So... I've now booked my HGV training for January and provided I pass I'll finally be able to work alone with the benefit of seeing the outside world doing something I actually want to do. I hopefully will be able to save again and build from there.
    I'm 31, don't have a house and don't yet have the job I want but starting to think things might have happened this way for a reason.
    Anyway I just wanted to say there's been times over the last year where I really needed a bit of motivation and inspiration, I've put on one of your videos sitting out in my car on break and the message you send is loud and clear. If things don't go your way, keep trying. I noticed a lot of similarities in our situations and it helped to feel like I'm not the only one!
    Thank you again, have a nice Christmas and New Year!

      @stevefrags3901 Hello Steve, sorry for the late reply, I wanted to be able to respond on my laptop so I can write out a better message rather than on my mobile phone.
      Your story is very touching and one I assume many can relate too. It's easier for people to give up when things get tough.. but you sound like you are making a comeback and getting stronger from the experience.
      I hope you pass your HGV licence in January, please comment back to let me know if you did 🤞🏻 it sounds like you have a soild plan and have come to the realisation of who you are, and who you are is perfect. I myself have realised I am no social butterfly and once I accepted it and stopped trying so hard other people accepted who I was as well 💪🏼
      Have a great Christmas, we should meet in the new year I would love to hear more about your story 🙏🏻

      @stevefrags3901 26 дней назад +2

      @Nomadickangoo Just as you replied,
      I was getting a medical check done to apply for my provisional licence, hopefully no questions or concerns from DVLA about anxiety meds, and all is well for January.
      Next step is to study this theory and make it my mission over the holidays, driving every day and picking the worst roads possible haha! Trucker Steve will be a reality!
      Thanks again for the kind words, it really means a lot!
      I will keep you posted and would love to meet one day in the new year, thanks again and as always looking forward to your next video 😁

    Firstly happy birthday, secondly make the effort to carry out your plans, even if it’s just buying a steak, as time goes on it’s easy to settle for what you have believe me. Sit down with a beer and think about what you’d like to do this year and make plans to do it,AND DO IT. Achieving your wishes, not dreams, is what life is about, doing things YOU want to do. You were pondering your age on th vid and how time passes, I’m 57 and it only passes quicker with age, that’s why make your plans now mate, sit over Xmas and sort your year out and post it with a birthday special next year. Maybe don’t just run 34 miles but pick 34 things you’d like to do. Merry Xmas mate and wishing you a new year to smile about.

    You, my friend, are lost. There is a fine line between a nomadic life and suffering, and you’ve crossed that line. Self induced unemployment, brutal ultra-marathon, a damp, cold, and cramped camper with no comfort inside. This life looks more like self destruction than a happy and comfortable life. I know it when I see it, I’ve done my share of self loathing.
