“We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.” Nathianial you represent this so much in your work ❤️ you're awesome ;)
In Indian culture Stories are used by Grandparents to pass on information, ideas,morals to children. it's so subtly genius. The kids do not have to be forced to learn through textbooks but rather they would keenly listen to every words of their parants. I remember all the restless children around the house would turn into a class of silent and highly keen students. goodold days......miss my grandparants
When you watch yourself, just accept that you've grown from that day. It shouldn't make you cringe. Smile at yourself and use that positive energy to move on from there.
*#1 reason why stories are so powerful - they engage EMOTIONS* When people feel a deep resonating feeling with what you present, they will always follow you.

“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story" (The Name of the Wind)
3 *TIPS* to great storytelling: *1. AVOID* filler words. “Like, um, yea, so, I guess” *2.* Give the *MAIN* points of the story. Not every detail. *3.* Show *EMOTION* and sound effects.
Flint Try to speak about something you find passionate about. There are certain areas in your stories that you can emphasize in tone, sound, and expressive face moments and hand gestures. “I would RATHER go to a crappy place than experience HORRIBLE airport service.” Imagine yourself speaking this story and emphasizing the certain words like rather, crappy, experience, horrible, and etc.
To learn how to make stories is also how you reinforce your concept of yourself, and the world that you live in. For someone who also grew up being called "intense" and would need a "chill pill" or that "you don't have to think about everything as a problem waiting to be solved", I could very much relate to the call of discovering a story-the story-only to find out that it's not definite until at least, when you die. That said, it's actually quite good for you that you put yourself out there (I mean, here on RUclips) all those years ago in pursuit of learning how to make video content. It gives you a good benchmark of where you are now, and reminds you how different or alike you were from the beginning to where you are now. It's like reading a page from a journal (if you journal, even very intermittently), only its published online. Thank you for being intentional, and striving to be more intentional. We need more of that in our saturated world. 🍃
So,he died, I don't have red to body to body with so I consider blue.but can a love be reconciled with red body me here and Blu formless invisible him? Word write? Let go? Both? What I'd another red romance comes? Will invisible Blu be watching red me new him red ?
02:11 - "I've always been more of an intense person, and I remember growing up being told pretty often to chill out, you know, to relax, and that always drove me nuts because that felt to me very much against my nature." Yeah, I know this feeling very well. Well said. Thank you for understanding.
I am a documentary film graduate and started a RUclips channel a few months ago. I'm not uploading documentaries, but educational videos on mindfulness/self improvement. I was curious of what you were gonna tell in this video and what I would learn from it. But I think it had a great influence... I saw my documentary work and my youtube videos as something completely different... but for some reason after watching this video I feel like I know better how to implement the things I've learned from making films into making my youtube videos. I specifically resonated with your point about 'treat your audience as your most intelligent friend'. I *love* getting my audience to think about something after watching my documentaries. Making educational videos now, I kinda lost that. Thank you for reminding me of this. Super long comment, hope it makes sense!
The quality of your videos are only getting better, it's beautiful to see you grow as a creator. Your work ethic is inspiring. I'm just super glad and lucky to have found your channel in the middle of content noise. I appreciate you ❤️
"I've always been more of an intense person." This entire video was like looking into a mirror! I especially loved the quotes you included, but that one line about intensity really resonated... I know a lot of girl's are often shamed for their enthusiasm, but it's so lush seeing someone say - hey, don't calm your passions 😊
There is nothing better than being grateful, I promise everything you see will have a different, better perspective. So I truly appreciate how grateful Nathan is to his past rather than being embarrassed of it. In my opinion, being grateful is the number 1 trait a human should have because it will change them and the things and people around them to a happier story.
I just f*cking love this yt channel! It’s the honesty, clarity and just everything that makes me feel like doing the same! One guy ones said; you only need 1000 fans to succeed and you can definitely count me in!
I'm just amused how much value every single one of your video has. From an external perspective seems like you are becoming more and more accepting of the world and yourself in it as you are, therefore you are enclosing to the really deep that every human being can feel true in one way or another. Thank you Nat
You've been inspiring me for quite a while now, you're helping me change my life. I always thought about creating a channel just like yours, talking about experiences and stuff, just never got the courage to start, I think you're helping me with that as well, so thank you really.
That level of honesty, to every work you do, you did... This is what makes your content undoubtedly unique and pure in some way.. Thankyou Nathan for inspiring us to be truthful to ourselves and to others as well.. Absolutely love your work ❤️👍
I absolutely love your awareness on what it is to just go for life and learn along the way and feel comfortable with that, as we all 'should'. Its beautiful to witness the near absence of fear of failure / perfectionism. You experientially know permission, art of experimenting, and the process of creating. Its so so so beautiful.
*I believe that's my new favorite quote. "To be interesting, to be interested"* William Eggleston created Art to express himself. He was criticized strongly but wasn't bothered by his critics. He is known as one of the most influential artists to have existed in this world and is a pioneer in color photography. If you stay true to yourself. You will find an audience of people who share your values and want to see more of your work.
The way you speak literally calms me down and seeing your progress from when you started and now- you are a star. Your story telling amazed me I hope to learn a lot from you to grow my channel.
Watching videos of myself talking about photography or looking at old work always makes me so happy in the fact that I have come so far. I think a major inspiration should be yourself & that the only person you should ever compare yourself to is your past self. It's cringey but plain awesome bc think about how far you can go from here.
Your channel works. I'm going through each one of your videos, oldest to newest. With each video I watch, I seem to understand myself and how live more and more. Your purpose is beautiful.
Dam this resonated, the parallels in thought process. Weird to know someone you don’t even know articulates your inner thoughts better than you can. Thank you sir for putting this out there.
Thank you for this Nathan. Same as you, I'm an intense person myself, maybe the next step is reinvent myself by cutting off non essential things and see where I can move on that direction. Everytime I watch your video, it feels like I'm talking to my younger self.
This video really got me thinking of my childhood passion. I used to carry a camera with me in elementary school just recording my life with my friends… I miss that. You really got me thinking of going back to storytelling online. I guess I was just too anxious of what people would think of my experiences and challenges but my experiences and challenges are just as similar as someone in my neighborhood and in my Hispanic community. I’m just going to go for it. Thank you for speaking about this topic. 🙏🏽🦋
I think it's wonderful that you've held onto these old videos of yourself. I know I'm a sentimentalist at heart but I really believe there is an incredible amount of value in having the ability to reflect on old creative projects. There is, of course, the more obvious benefits in seeing where you came from and thinking about how you would improve them, but these projects also give you a window to your past self. They allow you the opportunity to remember the drive, passion, and curiosity you brought to your first creative pursuits which I have found never fails to invigorate me in my current projects. I make a point in saving the first paper I ever wrote in my field. It's grandiose introduction paired with awkward, choppy sentences make me laugh and cringe in equal amounts. More importantly, I remember the joy I had in writing it which reminds me however often I question it, past me knew what she was doing. Except for the majority of my haircuts... My goodness what was I thinking?
You have no idea how much you have helped me by sharing your journey of finding your voice. I loved it. I have been planning on making my very 1st video for a very long time. But i was hasitant. Scared of being judged. But hearing about your journey, makes me wanna go for it head on. Without thinking of the mistakes i would make along the way. Thank you!! Thank you so much for this.
Normally I do not share my ideas in the comment section, but the way Nathan showed himself in this video was astonishing for me, and actually he encouraged me to continue growing. Thanks Nathan, I will keep improving myself as I noticed you have done.
100% agree that looking back at old work is hard to stomach sometimes. But all that means is that you've improved that much since then 😁 Love your work Nathaniel keep it up!
This video, 3 years later, has made me a fan of your channel. Good job and great lessons. We need more people willing to put themselves out there for the sake of curiosity.
Telling stories has a more important place in my soul than I've realized. This helped me to take action towards it and, probably, a more exciting life. Thank you!
This video is a clear indication of the growth that Nathan went throughout these years, it is inspiring to see that he didn't give up. Hats off to you mate!
“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” your work, stories and creations continue to give me and many others so much to carry through the day and week. thank you for doing what you do. living your truth and carrying the spark for others to do the same. :)
I watch you for a few weeks two weeks maybe but this video opened my eyes too. I am a person I absorb everything in me and rethink it. It is like my brain doesn’t want to stop to question things. So, I am very energetic and intense in some things and topics. And “it throughs me nuts” that people told me “I should chill out” because I can’t . But some people don’t think so much about it and you need to respect it but it is difficult. Watching people who think similar and make videos like this is interesting. Art is something out of the now and out of the routine but I think it is cool and fun and an expanding know.
This is definitely so encouraging! You did a big service by showing how you've started instead of idealising everything. At the same time you show distance to yourself and you make me like you even more! It's amazing to see how you grow
You’re a very intelligent and charismatic guy, I really love your stuff, keep posting. Hard to find people so passionate about self transformation so I’m really glad I found you!
One of my goals for this year is to become a fluent English speaker. That's why I watch your amazing videos,Nathaniel. Your vocabulary is so rich of words , but not only that but also the tone of voice and pauses you create to highlight your speech. Keep making this kind of videos. I wish you my best regards to you, bro.
The Picasso quote on "art is the elimination of the unnecessary" and the points on being a story teller more than just a maker really hit home hard for me as I ponder all the photography experiments I've tried in the last 10 years (and didn't stick with because I was missing the beat to keep going because I was trying to too much at once). I love the advice on starting small with what you have and can do and building from there.

Hey Nathaniel can you do a video on your wardrobe and where you get your clothes from? I really like your style
I love this video. I also hate looking back at my old videos, it is painful and cringy, but really satisfying to see how far you've come and what skin you've shed over the years.
I love his presentation. He is smart and realistic. The mistake new you- tubers we make because we just watch other successful you-tubers and think i can't be successful as this guy. This type of thinking cause us to stop rather than trying or exploring ways to overcome the problems we are facing. Great job!
Thank you for sharing your perspective with the world. I appreciate the refreshing honesty and the constantly evolving artistry. Also, as a creative individual who is slowly but surely figuring out their own path, your words really resonate with me. I especially appreciate that you're willing to reveal tidbits of when your projects were awkward experiments - that's an essential part of the creative process, and I think that when you show that in contrast to how far you have come, it inspires others to create. Keep exploring!
I think finding your voice is a beautiful process! Without the documentation you wouldn’t really ever see the growth. You have inspired me in so many ways! Thank you for your content.
Hi Nathaniel. Being in recovery, we spend our lives telling stories, over and over and over. Life moves forwards and stories change, new experiences come and go, and we learn from each of those experiences. Our tried and true method is simple ... What it was like, what happened, and what it is like now. That applies to every story we tell, every experience we have. There is a before, there is a middle and then, there is the end, the new lesson we learned in that particular rotation of life. We are all stores in motion. Use your life as a story. there is much to be learned there. (Oprah Winfrey) Keep telling stories. You don't have to be perfectly polished to tell a story. Stories are not always perfect or polished. Some of them are downright hard. Be yourself, honest, with integrity, and humility, and you can't go wrong.
I feel like there is something empty and sleeping inside me that Nathniel waking it up. After the video just finish i literally cried for no reason. It kinda hurt that im 26 and still figuring things out the hard way.
Man, Im from Portugal and I love what you doing, its awesome how I can relate so much with your vision and thoughts. Im impressed with your clarity and mentality with only 21 years old, I can remember when I was your age to thought about this topics but I never been into share that type of things. I will start making videos like yours to share the same vision with portuguese people. Thank you so much for the work that you are putting into this, it adds a very amount of value! 🙏Best regards from Portugal!
Nathaniel, your work is absolutely amazing! I love your uniqueness and authenticity as a storyteller. Please keep sharing! I am so glad I found you here. You are the best. Never doubt yourself. You are good enough!
Yeah, man! We'll always have to figure things out. However, telling and hearing stories make figuring things out a lot better. Thanks for the great video!
I totally feel the „Wow, chill out“ part. I think that becoming an artist is an outlet for many people who are considered intense. What a great video, your honesty is very inspiring! I love to watch your content to become a better writer and storyteller myself. :)
I love how raw and honest your videos are. Your content is amazing and I hope to incorporate your videography and editing skills into my RUclips content one day. Love your work!
You are so good at the art of story telling and teaching what you have learned over your whole 21 years on this earth ! Amazing... Someone mentioned a podcast...I think that's a great idea! I know you love the video aspect, but this way you can pump out lessons even quicker... for us older folks (I am 60) that wished they learned these lessons earlier in their lives.. I believe you are going to go real far. Thank you so much!
Thank you for being our inspiration. You're touching our lives and hearts somehow, helping us to be better in our lives by sharing your experiences with us. Keep going! We love what you do!
@NathanielDrew I think your content is awesome. I started with your learning Italian video and it inspired me to learn Italian myself. Keep up the hard work you will grow and you will make a difference.
This video had me laughing and smiling so much! To see the younger you and how much you’ve changed, yet have stayed the same. So inspiring! Keep being you! And thank you for being such a light for so many of us.
dude it's weird but I feel so relatable to you I feel like crying, especially on the part when u said that everyone always said for u to chill when ur a kid
i''ve seen a couple of your videos but this one really hit home for me! i'm a musician and my way of telling stories is through song and sounds, i feel you on how this process is something that is ongoing and there's always more to expand upon and dig deeper into. Anyways, you're awesome dude! Stay intense homie!!
I adore how you made this video. The structure was so fascinating but also so touching with what you said and showed. I think it is so easy to throw around quotes (remembering instagram pics a few years ago XD) but yours where absolutely perfect and so open! So thanks for this openness, this art and work
Being afraid of critizism is one of the hardest issues to overcome. But all of the artist and fighters can avoid this way of thinking and focus in the main target! Thanks Nathaniel for this inspiration :)
“We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.” Nathianial you represent this so much in your work ❤️ you're awesome ;)
What a quote!
In Indian culture Stories are used by Grandparents to pass on information, ideas,morals to children. it's so subtly genius. The kids do not have to be forced to learn through textbooks but rather they would keenly listen to every words of their parants. I remember all the restless children around the house would turn into a class of silent and highly keen students. goodold days......miss my grandparants

The introspection, and depth of this video is absolutely beautiful to watch.
I get goosebumps every time I watch your videos. So good as always :)
and I love your videos!
How? Why? This video didn't offer any helpful tips.
Wait... you're only 21? Wow. That makes your work and your channel even more impressive!
I'm 22 and I feel pretty young. But knowing he's only 21 makes me feel sooo old, in a bad way lol

How was this video helpful at all in becoming a better storyteller? It didn't offer much advice.
I like how simple something can seem but you go in depth about it
This guy is changing lives...

This is currently my favorite RUclips Channel, so fresh, so honest, so helpful, so inspiring! I really love your work.
Your baby voice at 3:25 - it’s so inspiring to see how much you’ve grown!
Your authenticity is what is great to watch. Young, teen, now, it was all great because you are being you. I love that more than overly curated work.

I just loved your little smile at 7:36 when you repeated yourself after 8 years

Art is something out of the now and out of the routine but I think it is cool and fun and an expanding know.
This is definitely so encouraging! You did a big service by showing how you've started instead of idealising everything.
At the same time you show distance to yourself and you make me like you even more! It's amazing to see how you grow
You’re a very intelligent and charismatic guy, I really love your stuff, keep posting. Hard to find people so passionate about self transformation so I’m really glad I found you!
Shout out to the creative's out there pushing boundaries and telling profound stories through their art❤
One of my goals for this year is to become a fluent English speaker. That's why I watch your amazing videos,Nathaniel. Your vocabulary is so rich of words , but not only that but also the tone of voice and pauses you create to highlight your speech. Keep making this kind of videos. I wish you my best regards to you, bro.
Discovered your channel like 2 days ago, and you’re wise beyond your words! Thank you for creating this channel 👌
You seem like such a real and genuine person. It would be awesome to get to know you in person or meet someone like you.
The Picasso quote on "art is the elimination of the unnecessary" and the points on being a story teller more than just a maker really hit home hard for me as I ponder all the photography experiments I've tried in the last 10 years (and didn't stick with because I was missing the beat to keep going because I was trying to too much at once). I love the advice on starting small with what you have and can do and building from there.
Hey Nathaniel can you do a video on your wardrobe and where you get your clothes from? I really like your style
"I would like to learn"
Such a powerful message
I love this video. I also hate looking back at my old videos, it is painful and cringy, but really satisfying to see how far you've come and what skin you've shed over the years.
"confidence is built by doing"
I love his presentation. He is smart and realistic. The mistake new you- tubers we make because we just watch other successful you-tubers and think i can't be successful as this guy. This type of thinking cause us to stop rather than trying or exploring ways to overcome the problems we are facing. Great job!
Thank you for sharing your perspective with the world. I appreciate the refreshing honesty and the constantly evolving artistry. Also, as a creative individual who is slowly but surely figuring out their own path, your words really resonate with me. I especially appreciate that you're willing to reveal tidbits of when your projects were awkward experiments - that's an essential part of the creative process, and I think that when you show that in contrast to how far you have come, it inspires others to create. Keep exploring!
I think finding your voice is a beautiful process! Without the documentation you wouldn’t really ever see the growth. You have inspired me in so many ways! Thank you for your content.
Hi Nathaniel. Being in recovery, we spend our lives telling stories, over and over and over. Life moves forwards and stories change, new experiences come and go, and we learn from each of those experiences. Our tried and true method is simple ... What it was like, what happened, and what it is like now. That applies to every story we tell, every experience we have. There is a before, there is a middle and then, there is the end, the new lesson we learned in that particular rotation of life. We are all stores in motion. Use your life as a story. there is much to be learned there. (Oprah Winfrey) Keep telling stories. You don't have to be perfectly polished to tell a story. Stories are not always perfect or polished. Some of them are downright hard. Be yourself, honest, with integrity, and humility, and you can't go wrong.
I feel like there is something empty and sleeping inside me that Nathniel waking it up. After the video just finish i literally cried for no reason. It kinda hurt that im 26 and still figuring things out the hard way.
We're all trying to figure things out...at any age and time.
O lol mi e
Man, Im from Portugal and I love what you doing, its awesome how I can relate so much with your vision and thoughts. Im impressed with your clarity and mentality with only 21 years old, I can remember when I was your age to thought about this topics but I never been into share that type of things. I will start making videos like yours to share the same vision with portuguese people. Thank you so much for the work that you are putting into this, it adds a very amount of value! 🙏Best regards from Portugal!
Such an inspiration Amigo!!!
Nathaniel, your work is absolutely amazing! I love your uniqueness and authenticity as a storyteller. Please keep sharing!
I am so glad I found you here. You are the best. Never doubt yourself. You are good enough!
Man I wish I was half this good at storytelling
First vídeo i've watched in this channel, recommended by a friend. Súper inspiring. Thank you !!
Yeah, man! We'll always have to figure things out. However, telling and hearing stories make figuring things out a lot better.
Thanks for the great video!
I totally feel the „Wow, chill out“ part. I think that becoming an artist is an outlet for many people who are considered intense. What a great video, your honesty is very inspiring! I love to watch your content to become a better writer and storyteller myself. :)
Nathaniel, you're a true blessing. Thank you for taking us along with you on this spectacular journey!
You have become a constant person I can go to for help. you always speak to my core so thank you
I love how raw and honest your videos are. Your content is amazing and I hope to incorporate your videography and editing skills into my RUclips content one day. Love your work!
your genuine and pure energy really pierces through the screen and i am so drawn to you. love your content :]
Enthusiasm is a huge reason I will continue to care about what someone is talking about.
ps. Always a treat to see young Nathaniel.
You are so good at the art of story telling and teaching what you have learned over your whole 21 years on this earth ! Amazing...
Someone mentioned a podcast...I think that's a great idea! I know you love the video aspect, but this way you can pump out lessons even quicker... for us older folks (I am 60) that wished they learned these lessons earlier in their lives.. I believe you are going to go real far. Thank you so much!
Such a lovely piece. Keep creating more. Thanks for the inspiration :)
One of the best videos I've ever stumbled across on RUclips. Appreciate you showing up through all the growth
Thank you for being our inspiration. You're touching our lives and hearts somehow, helping us to be better in our lives by sharing your experiences with us. Keep going! We love what you do!
@NathanielDrew I think your content is awesome. I started with your learning Italian video and it inspired me to learn Italian myself. Keep up the hard work you will grow and you will make a difference.
I think that even your old videos look great mainly because you look so natural and yourself. This is what people want to see.
This video had me laughing and smiling so much! To see the younger you and how much you’ve changed, yet have stayed the same. So inspiring! Keep being you! And thank you for being such a light for so many of us.
dude it's weird but I feel so relatable to you I feel like crying, especially on the part when u said that everyone always said for u to chill when ur a kid
i''ve seen a couple of your videos but this one really hit home for me! i'm a musician and my way of telling stories is through song and sounds, i feel you on how this process is something that is ongoing and there's always more to expand upon and dig deeper into. Anyways, you're awesome dude! Stay intense homie!!
I adore how you made this video. The structure was so fascinating but also so touching with what you said and showed. I think it is so easy to throw around quotes (remembering instagram pics a few years ago XD) but yours where absolutely perfect and so open! So thanks for this openness, this art and work
Being afraid of critizism is one of the hardest issues to overcome. But all of the artist and fighters can avoid this way of thinking and focus in the main target!
Thanks Nathaniel for this inspiration :)
