    Your videos make me feel an emotion I can't describe. Reminiscence for something that never happened maybe? It wouldn't make sense when put into words, but the sweetness I feel from these videos are unmatched. They have such a genuine quality. This is what RUclips should be about, documenting moments in life and testimonials to people you love. Seeing that you posted today made me smile. I am so glad I found your channel a while back, and watching this feels like catching up with an old friend. Can't wait for the next one

      I think it may has something to do with her vibes. Her videos remind me of the stereotypical american-teenage-years settings, which were at the epicentre of my youth, as I grew up with american teenage movies (and games ex. life is strange). Those movies were all about freedom, love, ingenuity, growing up in a bubble and discovering new emotions. The reminiscence for something that never happened may be connected with the nostalgia for times that didn't actually exist anywhere except in your mind. And they are distant, non-tangible. Her music choice/videography helps with that.
      At least, that's me. I wonder where are you from.

      For me it's my forced isolation from my toxic and emotionally abusive mother. I never experienced what "hanging out" with friends felt like and actually "having fun". I'm always fearful and full of anxiety because of the toxicity all my life and because of that, I am socially awkward and don't know how to talk to people. People say that adult years are trash but for me now, and in my case, it's one of my brightest hopes

    • @daveforz
      @daveforz 2 года назад +11

      Depression is rough, no denying that, but sometimes jumping in your car and driving somewhere new makes you forget it about it momentarily, and those memories you create give you moments to look back on when the days get rough.. I’ve only ‘lived on the road’ for weeks at a time. Not in a van, but in whatever car I had at the time (Corolla/Prius/etc). Those trips were definitely worth it for me. I think if every person experienced life on the road, the world would be a better place.
      Hope you take the jump into vanlife one day :)

    3:03 - 3:23 I had this exact same feeling the other day. I am four days away from finishing college and it crept up on me. I was sitting in my last lecture when I noticed that it was my last lecture as an undergraduate. Despite knowing that we don't have endless days we often treat life as such. I only notice "my last days" when they're happening, which I guess is still better than not noticing. During the last week I had my last time in the library, my last walk home from college, and I am about to submit my final assignment. It's a weird feeling. I'll probably move out soon so there are more “lasts” coming up and many that I’ve already had without realising. Of course I can do these things again in the future but as you've said it'll be different.

    I'm glad other people are going through the same thing as me. I relate to this so much since I'm graduating high school in a few weeks and I'm planing on doing a gap year next year. This is what feels right for me in this moment but I can't stop thinking about my teenage years and childhood and even though I have so many plans and I'm so exited for the future, I'm kinda scared of starting adulthood. I've never travelled on my own and it's something that I always wanted to do and I'm finally going to make it real, but having all these experiences that I've been wanting also means growing up and leaving home in a way. So I also have this bittersweet and nostalgic feeling, but I'm exited to see what the future holds :)

The changes happening in these early days of your life may feel overwhelming and challenging, but they are merely marker-stones on your million-mile path. You have so far to go. You are only just beginning. I see the same wandering adventurer in you that I had in myself when I was 24. Nothing and nobody was ever going to stop me from seeing the world and exploring new places and new things. Cherish these days of your fleeting youth, because you will never again be as young as you are right now. Happy trails! :)

    As an art major in college right now who feels very boxed in by society, you are such an inspiration to me. Like you are living your life your way, while still hustling, while not giving a fck what anyone else thinks. And you have connections with other people, genuinely. Meaningful ones. I envy your life, honestly. I hope to have friends like this one day who would be willing to travel in a van across the country with me lol

    This is all I want to do. I'm on my last 7 months of high school and all I want is to finish and see the world. Living in the same town my whole life, never once moving has really made me want to see the world. Along with all the lockdowns got me thinking about how grateful we are to be able to have these modes of transportation and how at any moment it can be stripped away from us, which is exactly what happened with lockdown. I've been subscribed to your channel for years now, and each video brings me joy, so much motivation and inspiration.

I had to smile because when you're 28 like me, you'll have come so much farther and have another different view of the world. I still have plenty of time to do what I want in life, I just wish I had taken advantage of it when I was your age. Your video made me all sappy and nostalgic now. Best of luck to you Natalie! Cant wait to see what you do!

But watching this video really made me realize all the stuff i missed out on in my teens so far, seeing you with friends. I’m on my 3rd high school since starting high school and i haven’t made any friends. During this time i have had a long battle with mental health. But seeing this brought a smile to my face and I know its not all been bad. And when you think about it there is no traditional high school experience. Everyone has just a “high school experience”

Meaning I need to learn to drive (oops lol), get my license, get a car, and maintain a stable income for gas so I can travel to said school a few times a week. My life has been comfortably the same for about 4 years now, and everything is about to change. So you posting this when I literally graduate tomorrow is so timely, and I can’t wait to watch you embark on a whole new chapter of life. Here’s to growing up, and to change, and to this brave new chapter.

I moved city 3 times during this time, every time changing people, flat (5 times), starting from begining with job. I went through pandemic, I am finishing degree and feel I have no one who nows me well, who went through hard times with me ( and I went through this with him/her) no one I can feel 100% comfortable with.
