    Wrapping your mind around your life is pretty hard, because you are up to your neck in it. It's like trying to understand the ocean while learning how to swim. On most days you are busy just keeping your head above water. So it is not easy to figure out what to do with your life and how to spend your time.
    There are a million distractions. Your family, friends and romantic partners, boring work, and exciting projects. Video games to play and books to read. And then there is your couch that somebody needs to lie on. It’s easy to get lost. So let us take a step back and take a look at your life from the outside.

    The script was inspired by an old article from my friend Tim Urban, who runs “Wait but Why”, the best blog on the internet, make sure to check it out. waitbutwhy.com It’s so easy to get lost in your daily life: there are so many “urgent” and “annoying” things that you forget that actually every day is special, sort of. And even more so the days we have with friends and family. I know watching a video like this can hit pretty hard. But at least for me, the message it tries to convey does make me actually change my behavior. Reprioritize things. You know. Hope it had a similar effect for some of you.
    Also, if you want to track how many weeks off your life you have left or get a new perspective on this stuff, we’ve made a few posters you can check out. Getting something from our shop is the best way to support our channel. kgs.link/shop-143 In any case, call someone you haven’t called in a while today. And thank you for watching. - Philipp

      Don't let this comment distract you from the fact that democracy has proven itself to be a complete and utter failure. Throughout history, democracy has ruined thousands of lives due to it's corruptible nature. Democracy may pretend to be a fair and equal system of government but that is all a lie. Look at some of the democratic nations of the world. Look at the USA, a tyrannical and unstable nation with a population that has been divided due to stupid political parties. What about Libya? Libya tried to be a fair and equal nation under democracy, and dissolved into a chaotic mess. As a matter of fact, the original democratic system in Athens was completely based on privilege. When democracy was first created, you could only vote if you were a rich man. Ever since it's inception, democracy has always been corrupt. The system of democracy is an evil thing and all members of a Senate/Parliament/Congress should be executed for irreversibly fucking up the planet

    When I was 29 I had a dream one night, where I saw the visual effects of warp speed in front of me, like on Star Trek. I zipped through the warp field, and a second later I was 46 years old! I woke up in a sweat! It was the worst nightmare ever! I was shaking, and soooo incredibly relieved that it was only a dream and I was 29, not 46. I looked at my 29 yr old body and thanked God it was only a dream. I knew though, that the Universe had given me that dream to illustrate how fast time moves, so that I would get off my butt and do what I came here to do. .. Now I am 71, and I gotta tell you, those years went by like the speed of light!!

Seeing teens talk about their life and older folks talking about theirs. It's interesting to be in this middle part of life and see how others have navigated it.

      My biggest mistake was letting things go in one ear and out the other like with history and English. I could score 90s on tests in precal and trig wasn’t horrible, so I assumed I’d do fine in Calculus to.
      You’ve gotta have ALL your ducks in a row once you get to Calculus. If you’re good with math, just keep doing what you’re doing, and maybe watch some videos here and there on different things to keep yourself refreshed. If not, it’s just something you’ve gotta throw yourself at and spend time with until it’s so drilled into your head that it’s basically muscle memory.
      If you can, try to make some friends in your math classes to do the work with. It helps to have other people around to bounce ideas off of and point out mistakes with. You’re gonna learn a lot better by working out those mistakes as you have them than you would trying to save them all up for your teacher after class.

      There is this stupid stoic calendar that has the amount of weeks you may live (average is like 75 years) and you're supposed to mark every week until you get to 75 years. I think it makes you basically stress about life rather than enjoy it. Like i get the idea behind it (don't think you have infinite time to do things you like) but you shouldn't panic about it either

Things that push you forward, things that keep you in place, it just seems like the point of living is to be alive and we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves.

      Jesus Christ, im just going to die be forgotten and be nothing great to no one. I have a lot of self doubt, scared of growing up, ending up in a small rented apartment being depressed. Im useless in society and forever will be. Life is just about getting a job and getting controlled by governments thats it. Did you guys know that "dreams" and "goals" is really just you getting a job, thats it. You doing your "dreams" and acomplishing it really just makes you money to survive which is just a job. I have a lot of pressure when I hear mom talk about going to a "high school" or my "career" because I don't know what highschool im going to I really don't want to mess up my life, i pick a direction, might fail and waist time of my life. Also the thing people say "you can do anything you set your mind to" is people who are naive or maybe just want you to be happy, forget about the important stuff and worry later. That term is not 100% true, a woman went to highschool worked hard to be an employee for the rest if her life but she failed and lost a career. Im afraid that will happen to me because I have my mind set on something but im too scared to tell my parents, what if they doubt me i dont want to be embarassed by them and ill literally do ANYTHING i mean ANYTHING to get what i want ill work so hard 24/7 im not lazy I'd do ANYTHING for it. And what i want is to be rememberd, accomplish something great like invent something or break world records, be an idol to people. I just dont want to die, life passing on over me i want to be something great in life like albert einstein, he's like the smartest person that has ever lived, Michael Jackson, well of course he's a GOD, george Washington, well he's history... Michael Jordan, hes a pro basket ball player, donated millions and owns great things. I don't know where and how to start, i could follow that path, make it, live happily ever after Or I can go to that path fail, waist half of my life and end up being a waiter to make enough to survive... "You have a higher chance of failing than sucsseding." I really want help...

And most of the times, you don't become what you yourself chose to be, and there are tens of reasonable answers to that such as the pressure from society and all.
      Many times, it is also said "you shouldn't care what society says."

      It's better to face the shattering truth than live in denial your whole life, just because of the risk that you might wake up at some point in your life and realize you've been living a lie while it's it's too late to do something about it. From the second you finish reading this, you can do something about it.
      I'm sure you'll find your way. For the chance you don't, at least know you tried. That's life!

    I really can’t watch this video. I’m having terrible anxiety over time & death lately because I had an epiphany of all my thoughts January 3rd this year. I’m 24 and turning 25 in May. I look back on my life up to now and see so many miracles and blessings and peace. My parents are the greatest parents I could know & I love them so much, realizing they age too hit me like a the biggest truck that could ever truck. I cried so many days in a row & now experience anxiety over time & death nearly daily. The point of this video I understand through the comments is to appreciate the time you have, because it’ll be gone but it’s still hard to grapple with. Seeing the comments of people all over the age spectrum share their struggles has been helpful since it’s nice knowing we’re all in this boat together. But it still sucks man. I wish I could play God sometimes & give the people I love infinite time & infinite health. But we don’t get that ability. I think that’s sad. But it’s the best sort of sad of all the sads you get because it’s the type where you mourn the loss of a good thing. Which i guess is the better alternative. Anyways I’m rambling. I hate time & hate numbers. I’m trying to slow down time & spend it wiser with my family now since I won’t have them forever. Hopefully if there’s a heaven (I hope there is) I’ll see them again, and that’s comforting. But until then we only know this one life. And I see them now in it, and I’ll keep pushing aside my pride/ego/fear to spend this life loving them and appreciating them. It’s hard, but I think it’s worth it. If anyone else out there is suffering similarly with anxiety and crippling fear of being behind in life/losing those you care about/wasting your time. I’m right there with you. And I hope that gives slight comfort in knowing you’re not alone. And that it’s always worth it to keep living. Life is short, but it’s also long. Kinda crazy. Love you strangers,love matters
