"I wish this day was mine." God I felt that, I just started a new job, and honestly it's the best job I've ever had, the work place is fun for the most part and I love my manager, and all my co workers are amazing and everyones so kind and chill. But theres still just this off feeling I have where I'm just like, I wish this was my time and not the time I'm giving to a company to make profits. It still feels somewhat dystopian even though for the most part I enjoy my work. Appreciate this video, I've been really trying to make the most of my time, I started drawing again recently, which I hadn't done since I was at school like 6 years ago. Trying to finish a song i wrote a little while back, and I still have my final year university film project I'm excited for. And I just recorded a bunch of my MW2 gameplay yesterday so gonna make similar video to yours :) Thanks again for uploading
trust me bro everyone deals w that at some point it’s apart of the process.. all you have to do is start and that spark will come, you can do anything you put your mind to don’t be paralyzed by other’s opinions
Fuck what people say bro go and do it Now, stop procrastinating, what's the worst that can happen. you build more Courage within when you Try something new, even if it doesn't work. Never suffer the Regret of What if. Be in the Now brother, and stop procrastinating you are Enough.
Jus gotta start man! Don’t worry about others or about waiting for the perfect conditions because they may never come. Work with what ya got and you’ll seriously be surprised with what happens. I just got monetized this year! And I can’t imagine what I’d be doing right now if I never started my channel.
I need you to keep making these videos. They are lighting a fire and I’m afraid I don’t have the fuel in me yet to keep it lit.. but every video of yours kicks me right back into reality. Thank you
Keep watching your videos bro and it feels comforting that someone else is going through a similar situation and scratching through trying to get to your peace - whatever it may be. Continue inspiring and always be you.
I'm 31 now. By the middle of the pandemic I was overweight, miserable, working a job I hated and constantly overwhelmed and stressed. I started to have major stomach problems and was told I might have cancer. I was lucky and ended up being alright after long difficult stretch but it scared me shitless and made me realise a lot had to change. Since then I've bought a house, visited to japan ( was on my bucket list for my entire life ), got a much better job with a raise, lost weight, been diagnosed with ADHD ( which makes life a lot easier manage knowing what's going on ) and have been learning to drive again. I have a mobile app and a book I've been working on on the side and plan to finish those then make a game and a short movie. Sometimes you have to scared out your mind to realise you do actually want to do the work to change everything.
Honestly super glad I found this channel when I did, bc just the cross of a homie venting to me and like a privatized TED talk but about completely relatable stuff is both great and terrible bc it sucks that so many people share these thoughts and feelings of basically being a cog in a machine and regretting growing up so fast. But it’s good there’s someone voicing these feelings so we all know we’re not experiencing this alone. I joined the military straight out of high school and idk how many times I was told both how much I mattered and how I was just a number and it never fully set in until I transferred to the reserves and worked a normal 9-5 that it really set in that you don’t matter until you mess something up so the higher ups can stomp you down to make themselves look good. Luckily I was able to join back active duty into a job and work environment that’s pretty dope so that feelings mostly gone away but I just feel like this is all I know and with my wife and kids I’m solely working this job to support them and I just have to keep working, I don’t really have any outside ambitions or productive hobbies so I feel like I’m slowly slipping back into that cog mindset. But super glad I found this channel and I hope everyone, including OnceFaded, is able to work through this and truly be happy in their life, and not just “yeah I’m doing good enough I should be happy” but truly happy. Wish the best for everyone ❤
man these videos hit different some of the best content on my youtube recently just because its so real, these videos just feel like sitting in a call over discord or talking in person with a good friend just about life. love to see the skate 3 gameplay too my personal favorite game when i was growing up
ive seen like 5 of your videos at this point, and i just wanted to thank you bro for speaking up, motivating, clarifying what i fucking feel. I feel so stuck, i lack motivation, dicipline, but i still have the gut feeling that this sht isnt it. Ill begin studying in 9 months, and ill do that for 4 years. I just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos, becuase they make me feel something that ive not felt in a long while. Im 20 now, time rushes by so fast man. Ill use this motivation as a kickstarter. We can all make our dreams a reality. I myself know that i can, my useless fucking self know that i can make my dreams a reality, i just dont know how to do it. You keep my small motivation alive bro, thank you.
it's okay man you got time on your side for real. I'm 26 turning 27 next year and I want to have my stuff together more than it is now before gta comes out which I guess is a big motivator. I have a maths degree but been working in retail for best part of 18 months and I've timed my notice so I leave a week before Christmas so they'll have to adapt to being without me because I feel like I wasn't treated too nice recently and I need a break plus I got a mess at home to declutter. Maybe if I can't figure anything better out before next summer i'll see if I can go back for a while so that I can keep some more secure income while I still figure things out but ideally I find something I can do freelance or close to. I already do something like that typing from home but it is more tiring and less pay per hour than even a min wage job outside
@@Stallzyx sounds like a plan bro, I was feeling really down when i wrote this nd i guess i still do. I know i gotta get some routines into my life and shit, thats where i gotta start atleast. ive been taking a break from school now and im on my second year off. Ive realised that this sht isnt for me i get stuck so easily in this lifestyle and i find myself just getting depressed instead of enjoying my free time. Im looking forward to studying atleast, Life was just easier before thats it.
@@lim3ee387 agreed. I feel like I currently have similar to a gambling addiction trying to squeeze nostalgia out of the old call of duty games while it's still possible to play them and hit big sniper clips that I should have done ages ago but I was prioritising school and work etc (rightly so maybe?) haha
hi, im 17, i live in belgium and i drop out of school like 2 year ago because i just could'nt go, i feel like school is a factory to make us work for the rest of our life and i just dont like it, im trying to do what i love but it dont seems to work.. I really dont want to go work a 9-5, just thinking about it makes me depressed, even playing video games are just making me feel useless, i dont know if my future is gonna be decent. i started to watch your videos the moment you published '' everything just feels different '' because that video got a hit on me so hard like you cant imagine, i just hope that yours videos will work, your cloth brand work out and i hope you the best for your future. you deserve it man.
I feel you man, at my job I either gotta start at 5:30am or 10:30pm and leave in the morning, I feel like all I wanna do is sleep when I'm off work and it's running my life
You have to throw your resume out there. Apply to a bunch of different stuff. Even a temporary change can give you some breathing room to think about what this life is about.
I am really glad I found your channel. I feel the same way you do and I actually just recently (over the past month and a half) have been planning to go back to school to actually pursue a career that I want to have. Lack of a financial backing makes some of these leaps hard to take but its like you said, you don't have to stop working. Just let that work continue to drive you to work towards your goals.
I was a software engineer and a cyber security expert. I spent far too long being at jobs I hate. I am fed up. I'd rather die than go back. I sold my home and luckily will have no debt. I am also lucky I don't have any children. I am just going to live on nothing until I get my business going. You almost just got to get to the point you can't take it anymore.
you don’t know how much these videos mean to me and probably to many others out there that feel they can’t speak about the things you speak about, these last three videos have hit so deep man, 25 years old and no direction just missing the old days of bo2 and mw3 going for feeds with the boys, keep these up dude, they mean more than you think🤙🏻
I feel you man. I work at a Walmart warehouse and it is soul sucking. I feel so much anxiety and anger when I’m there. But I like what you said about letting that drive you to do something that you wake up excited to do because it’s yours. Keep up these videos. You are impacting more people than you know. We’re all here with you bro.
It's amazing how youtube works. You ignited something in me....something i had years ago. This account im commenting from....back when i had the "spark" so to say to do something of my own, even when it wasnt perfect - my english was not as good as it is now, i was a gullible kid trying to make videos about a game i loved.. but nontheless i did something. Then graduation came, then work and i knew i still had something in me. I dont want to badmouth anyone, thats not my point. But I notice stuff that others around me at my work dont. I understand stuff really quickly compared to others. My passion, for a long time, was music / writing lyrics. So I bought a mic, audio interface, plastered my room with acoustic panels and made some songs that my close circle enjoys - they honestly tell me when they dont feel it and the other way around, tell me when something hits them......but I never got the balls to reach out, record at a professional studio and release it. Your video, your voice, your tone got me butterflies again. That feeling that something is going the right way (I dont know how to describe it)... the feeling like you are finger tips away from something. Thanks a lot. I dont want this to sound the wrong way, to get the attention - but when I was 12 years old I tried to "leave" this world (bullying, mockery, etc.) and eversince I doubted myself. I got over it right after highschool and at that time became the best best best friends with my 2y older brother with whom we are currently trying to break through with our projects. Thank a lot, I felt heard. Amazing....truly
Thank you. This means the world to me, insparation is the key excaping this perpetual cycle of work. It wears on your mind and body so much that its not worth it. Working to live your life isnt bad but living to work is hell. Dont let them drag you deeper into this mindset that this is all you are, and all your good for. Fuck them and fuck that be your own person make your own brand start your own buissness find a way to live beyond anyones expectations even your own.
every single day i wake up for 7 am to go to work, im 20 right now and ive been so unmotivated to do ANYTHING with my life all because of work. these videos truly do motivate me man i love what ur doin, knowing im not alone in all this is great. thank you again faded
Bro u really just motivated me to make videos like this frfr. Gonna try to help people find that happiness we once had again. Make a space where people feel safe to speak their thoughts and not keep it held up a space where people don’t have to hold emotions in…thank you for the motivation brother like seriously
Nice video brother, I really relate to this. I start work at 8am everyday and every morning I’m constantly thinking about my escape. When I get home I’m usually so out of it but I still try and motivate myself to get in the office and work on my editing. Keep hustling bro I believe in you
Bro my mind drifts just like this almost all day every day since i got sober a few years back. Its all i think about almost obsessive. I know for a fact that there is a new way of doing things, I know for a fact that a 9-5 just isn't it anymore & tbh it never was it was some old timey shit written by a guy with ink and a feather. And i think alot of people fail to realise they're own potential and just accept the cards they where dealt myself included sometimes. Deep down im not okay with that and never will be until im doing shit on my own and owning what i do. Thanks for your content bro keep at it.
Hey dude, I just wanted to tell you I love your content. I relate to everything you say, and I wouldn't by any means say I'm depressed or that I lack happiness, but life is bleak, it's almost like the perfect painting. The perfect painting that over the years has bled and lost its bright vivid colour. But I think that's because of our perspective or outlook on things. I think we're simply looking through the wrong lens, and that painting never really changed, but it was the lens that we viewed that painting from, that did. I always say that we are never really living. We are born, and that's the only moment we are alive. We don't die once. We die every day, or atleast a part of us does.
I just subbed ❤️ I watched your video about a week ago and I couldn’t find your account again. Then today while I’m on my 30 minute break I see your video pop up again. Your words found its way back to me and it made me happy . Keep up the good work and I wish the best for your clothing brand or whatever passion you have that makes you happy 🫶🏽
I was always told that if I worked hard and stayed at a job for a long time, than I would make a lot of money and get a lot of benefits there. Never happened to me. While I'll admit that I don't stay at the job for a long time, I do bust my ass off whenever I worked. But never got anything in return. What really got me out of this mindset was when while I was at my final months working at Burger King, even though I was told by the majority of my coworkers that they like having me there and I'd get stuff done, I had barely any hours. Meanwhile one of the coworkers we had, that doesn't do anything and would make a huge mess for no reason. Having one of us clean it up half the time. They got double, maybe even triple the hours than I got. And when I asked for more hours, that never happened. So after experiencing that I just decided enough was enough and left. It was really an eye opener for me and now I don't go the extra mile on jobs.
Mr Faded, seeing that latest video of yours break the algorithm kicked up a fire in my soul. Your editing style and demeanour helped me realise that well, bo6 is genuinely so bad for my mental health and that I'm basically holding on to the nostalgia of my childhood. I posted a lil vid just now, I'm not on some self promo bs here, you don't have to go and watch it, I just want you to know you and a few others on the RUclips platform were QUINTESSENTIAL to that video's creation and you just helped me a lot this past week with moving forward in my life, I appreciate you. Stay well and I hope you had a great thanksgiving with your family :) x
hey mate me again(the 19 yr old from the 2nd vid) and fk ur right i just needa live and do shit and not think about it. Followed ya clothing store since the moment i watched the 2nd vid and cannot wait for it to drop followed it at before there was even 50 ppl now its growing rampart cannot wait for the drops! But basically just thank you for being a voice that's helped me think about perspective, the way i live, everything really, Opened my mind up and now have a feeling that i can potentially turn shit around and might not be stuck in this infinite loop now its just trying to figure out what i truly want to do with the rest of my life thats the hardest bit cos i got 0 clue on what i wanna do for a job/even what I'm interested In. Please keep up the vids there quite literally 1 in billion just like u mate
Sometimes life is like a dark dark tunnel you wont always see the light but if you just keep moving keep getting up! You will prevail! Follow your own journey not what people think your journey will be.
I'm at a tricky crossroads, I'm at a point where I have a good 9-5 and enjoy it but also its not what I WANT to do, I'm starting to get to a position where I could do content full time but the fear and anxiety of content failing or 'falling off' or anything like that scares me so much where I'm just not sure I can make the leap
Someone commented before to do doordash / uber while you focus on content. I think thats a pretty good idea. Even though the money won't be as good, you'll get to choose your hours. And fall off is kind of inevitable in this space but the skills are so transferable (editing, photoshop, algorithm). You got this
I worked construction for 5 years. Pushed me close to suicide near the end, its astounding what employers / colleagues will expect you to give for such little conpensation, and how they will expect you to feel guilty for not jumping at the opportunity to do so.
Before I joined the company I work for right now, I used to get motivated and inspired to do shit for myself as a programmer, but now that I work as a software developer, I get home and I can't get myself to code anymore. I work with what I love, or rather what I used to love back then. The lost of motivation makes it so hard to find motivation in other things, I used to stream and create videos, but with time I simply lost the motivation to continue because of how exhausted I get after work. Maybe one day I'll overcome this and manage to find something new to inspire me into good things.
At 3:20ish, you said you never took that leap, and you always just waited. I really feel that, I've kinda been feeling like that for a while, but I think i'm started to learn how to take more risks, how to actually do things I want to do, not just things I have to do. Thanks for making these videos man, they are really well done and they are definitely something I think a lot of people can relate to.
Yeah doing something over and over and over Is exhausting I had that same feeling when I was 20-22 then I went to the oilfield it was good pay but then got the same feeling and didn't want to do it again even the pay wasn't satisfying anymore and quit but I went back for quit cash and left again rn I'm unemployed with a broken car tough life
I've been asked what I want to do in life by my family so much this year and I really don't know. I don't really have a real passion for anything right now, I have things in mind but I don't even know if the reason I get into them will still be around by the time I'm able to achieve it. Yes I'll still have a passion to help understand how mental problems form in the brain and the best way to fix them but really the only reason I feel that way is because I've been through hell and back and I feel that's selfish of me but it's the only reason I feel a slight passion for it. Even with the passion I have for it, I don't know if I'll be able to do it. I've made so many mistakes in life that I'm trying to fix but at the same time I always ask what's the point, I'll probably lose my reason before I get the real chance to change it. All the time I want to strive for greatness but I feel so lost everyday, I question myself, my reasons, my responsibilities. It's weird but I hate and love myself almost equally. Really my only motivation through life has been hatred and spite, I'm just an emotional person who never got the chance to really express myself. I don't hate or spite anyone it's mainly towards myself and feeling like a coward if I were to just end it. I've tried a few times but I never fully went through with it, I want to live but right now I feel there's nothing to live for except my grandparents. I'll be 18 in 2 months and I have a security job lined up for me but the only reason I'm taking it is so I can help my grandparents, they've taken care of me my whole life and I feel like such a piece of shit because I haven't been able to get a job since I'm a drop out who's trying to get his ged. All I want is to help but I can't help anyone if I can't even help myself. I'm sorry for ranting like this in the comment section but I'm trying my best right now and I don't feel like it's enough.
One of the best things a man can do is invest in himself. Dedicate an hour a day to workout, plan, learn, or schedule a day trip outdoors for the weekend. Break your norm. Control your current controllables. Money will come and go. Thank God for your present. His path is always working the way it should. Prayers so everyone here ❤
i feel this so so much, there just has to be more to life man, YT/twitch/content creation in general is filled to the brim with everybody trying to be able the next hot/viral thing, the chances are just so slim. That's why i put all my hope in the $GME (GameStop) stock, the media keeps hammering on how everybody should 'forget the meme stock' but they've been saying that for the last 4 years lmao, idk my gut feeling is just telling me that this will be something big just because how hard the media is on their backs. If you're reading this, you might think this sounds dumb af or you might think that there's indeed something brewing here. There is ton of information out there, i just bought a little bit and i'm holding, i was too late for bitcoin but i'm very early for the $GME train! EARLY, NOT WRONG! (DRS that shit)
Hey man been loving these videos one recommendation I’ve got is to change up the background music though. As much as I love need 2 some variety would be nice
Felt this so hard. Some weeks I don't even get two days in a row off. Work drains me so much. I want to make something of my own. Not a company or anything but some way to express myself that could give me a way out of work. Work feels like it just kills all of my expressive ability
Yup yup been feeling the same way for the last two years since I graduated. 19 now and I just put my 2 weeks in and now I'm enlisting in the army because why not , the same way you put time into that job and waste away for them to even just barely appreciate you and givw you a 50 cent raise you could use that to truly do what you want i just beg you if you are ablebodied be your best self and accomplish amazing things.
I’m 32 goin thru this now. I was the opposite put everything in my craft in my 20s w photography and being a “starving artist” was such a grind but the older I got ij needed to have something more sustainable. I still do both and photo my passion. I’m just tired :/
Man this couldnt be more relatable now. 2 days ago I started at my first full time job. But I have been trying to make it with trading forex for 8 months. Being in that shitty job motivates the hell out of me to make it in trading. I dont know you but I wish you the best and I can tell that with that mindset you have, you are going to make it
Everything is just cycles, the same old wheels going round and round but never getting anywhere. I always look forward to the weekend, then when the days arrive I just don't feel like it's enough to even wind down. Once you've managed to breathe out and relax it's gone as soon as it came. But what do you do when there is no spark left in you? I lack dreams and ambitions. I have nothing to aim for, so I end up doing the same shit, day in and day out. All I do in my spare time is just sitting home and playing video games or other form of entertainment, just trying to relax. But there's always that gnawing sensation in the back of my mind, it all feels hollow at the end of the day because there's no progression. Just mindlessly running on the hamster wheel without a destination in sight. I even do what I'm supposed to: Work to earn money, eat healthy and workout five days a week to get fit, being kind to others, etc. I have a loving family, a good job, I'm healthiest and fittest I've ever been. But at the end of the day what does it matter when you don't know who you are or what you want to do? My own reflection isn't even myself anymore, just a blurry figured of someone who used to be me. But the worst part is not knowing what piece of myself I'm missing. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to find a spark to light up a fire in my soul. I'm just that kid from back then, just a kid that didn't know how to adapt to the growing adult world I guess.
I’m slowly coming to the realisation that video games is a slight coping mechanism. Like I still play them a shit tonne but it really is an escape from reality, just like a drug. I suggest just starting a note and just writing shit down that you want to do and expanding on them. It can really help put things into perspective
@@oncefaded Yeah I've very much noticed that too now that I've grown older. I guess I just didn't want to realize it until now. Change is a scary thing and it's hard to break out from your comfort zone, but I can't put it on hold forever. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!
@@oncefaded This 100 percent, the days just merge into one another and like I don't work a structured week really so my mum has shown me what she finds works for her and it makes sense, basically like journalling what you've done each day and what you still have to do. Make a list for the week or month ahead and maybe discipline yourself to not treat to other things which are time wasting activities until you get a few things on the list done each day
6 - 6 most days with Saturday work too 5 hours, it’s deteriorating just work, eat, sleep I also just want to go skating too which helps me keep sane but got no time to do it, nearly 30 bout time I do something for myself I say, I’m resigning tomorrow, life isn’t long do what you want to do with it, cool vid
Hard thing is when you have a lot of dreams and ambitions, and nobody at all has the same energy. They look at you weird and are doubtful. It’s dead everywhere you go. Everyone has decided their fate in a dead end job. They have no time to live or enjoy life. They have no purpose or any life that fills their eyes. They are literally just waiting to die and I see this starting at ages 21 and up.
I just lost the best job i ever had. Ive been just laying in my bed everyday since then. Dont know what the future holds for me. This video kinda pushed me to get out of bed.
I’m 20 and I feel the same, I’m in college and work part time, doing quite well for myself and my age. I’ve got a few qualifications and I’m not entirely broke where im starving for money, but all the courses I did and am doing in college I’m just like. Am I really gonna have to do one of this forever, I tried the TikTok avenue and it didn’t work really plus lost passion. Kinda just lost I don’t want to work 9-5 rest of my life I want to travel but how?
I can't even get a job to begin with. No place ever responds to applications. I'd like to be able to work for myself but i also don't have anything specific that i like doing that i can make money on. Honestly i don't know what to do anymore.
69th like. bro's hitting a consistent upload schedule now with the existential vids. I fuck with it. I started RUclips because TheIMightyHutch, and Optic Gaming. Dreamed of being and Optic/FaZe Sniper. Ended up editing as well. useful skill still use it as I taught myself most of it along with find another channel which I still LOVE BakerTuts
"I wish this day was mine." God I felt that, I just started a new job, and honestly it's the best job I've ever had, the work place is fun for the most part and I love my manager, and all my co workers are amazing and everyones so kind and chill. But theres still just this off feeling I have where I'm just like, I wish this was my time and not the time I'm giving to a company to make profits. It still feels somewhat dystopian even though for the most part I enjoy my work.
Appreciate this video, I've been really trying to make the most of my time, I started drawing again recently, which I hadn't done since I was at school like 6 years ago. Trying to finish a song i wrote a little while back, and I still have my final year university film project I'm excited for. And I just recorded a bunch of my MW2 gameplay yesterday so gonna make similar video to yours :)
Thanks again for uploading
Go crazy bro!
The inner fight I have between becoming a content creator & my social anxiety that paralyzes me out of fear of being perceived & judged by others.
trust me bro everyone deals w that at some point it’s apart of the process.. all you have to do is start and that spark will come, you can do anything you put your mind to don’t be paralyzed by other’s opinions
Keep the channel faceless and your name out of it. Once your comfortable then you can share that success.
im doing content but no one watches (not this channel)
Fuck what people say bro go and do it Now, stop procrastinating, what's the worst that can happen. you build more Courage within when you Try something new, even if it doesn't work. Never suffer the Regret of What if. Be in the Now brother, and stop procrastinating you are Enough.
Jus gotta start man! Don’t worry about others or about waiting for the perfect conditions because they may never come. Work with what ya got and you’ll seriously be surprised with what happens. I just got monetized this year! And I can’t imagine what I’d be doing right now if I never started my channel.
I need you to keep making these videos. They are lighting a fire and I’m afraid I don’t have the fuel in me yet to keep it lit.. but every video of yours kicks me right back into reality. Thank you
Keep watching your videos bro and it feels comforting that someone else is going through a similar situation and scratching through trying to get to your peace - whatever it may be.
Continue inspiring and always be you.
Appreciate you tuning in bro
I'm 31 now. By the middle of the pandemic I was overweight, miserable, working a job I hated and constantly overwhelmed and stressed. I started to have major stomach problems and was told I might have cancer. I was lucky and ended up being alright after long difficult stretch but it scared me shitless and made me realise a lot had to change.
Since then I've bought a house, visited to japan ( was on my bucket list for my entire life ), got a much better job with a raise, lost weight, been diagnosed with ADHD ( which makes life a lot easier manage knowing what's going on ) and have been learning to drive again. I have a mobile app and a book I've been working on on the side and plan to finish those then make a game and a short movie.
Sometimes you have to scared out your mind to realise you do actually want to do the work to change everything.
Brother you are more help than you probably think you are. I seriously consider you a mate now. I appreciate you so much
Honestly super glad I found this channel when I did, bc just the cross of a homie venting to me and like a privatized TED talk but about completely relatable stuff is both great and terrible bc it sucks that so many people share these thoughts and feelings of basically being a cog in a machine and regretting growing up so fast. But it’s good there’s someone voicing these feelings so we all know we’re not experiencing this alone. I joined the military straight out of high school and idk how many times I was told both how much I mattered and how I was just a number and it never fully set in until I transferred to the reserves and worked a normal 9-5 that it really set in that you don’t matter until you mess something up so the higher ups can stomp you down to make themselves look good. Luckily I was able to join back active duty into a job and work environment that’s pretty dope so that feelings mostly gone away but I just feel like this is all I know and with my wife and kids I’m solely working this job to support them and I just have to keep working, I don’t really have any outside ambitions or productive hobbies so I feel like I’m slowly slipping back into that cog mindset. But super glad I found this channel and I hope everyone, including OnceFaded, is able to work through this and truly be happy in their life, and not just “yeah I’m doing good enough I should be happy” but truly happy. Wish the best for everyone ❤
man these videos hit different some of the best content on my youtube recently just because its so real, these videos just feel like sitting in a call over discord or talking in person with a good friend just about life. love to see the skate 3 gameplay too my personal favorite game when i was growing up
Trying to be real bro 🫡 thank you for coming through
@ and i will return if you keep it up im loving the content
ive seen like 5 of your videos at this point, and i just wanted to thank you bro for speaking up, motivating, clarifying what i fucking feel. I feel so stuck, i lack motivation, dicipline, but i still have the gut feeling that this sht isnt it. Ill begin studying in 9 months, and ill do that for 4 years. I just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos, becuase they make me feel something that ive not felt in a long while. Im 20 now, time rushes by so fast man. Ill use this motivation as a kickstarter. We can all make our dreams a reality. I myself know that i can, my useless fucking self know that i can make my dreams a reality, i just dont know how to do it. You keep my small motivation alive bro, thank you.
Gotchu bro. Don’t let your dreams die just yet
it's okay man you got time on your side for real. I'm 26 turning 27 next year and I want to have my stuff together more than it is now before gta comes out which I guess is a big motivator. I have a maths degree but been working in retail for best part of 18 months and I've timed my notice so I leave a week before Christmas so they'll have to adapt to being without me because I feel like I wasn't treated too nice recently and I need a break plus I got a mess at home to declutter. Maybe if I can't figure anything better out before next summer i'll see if I can go back for a while so that I can keep some more secure income while I still figure things out but ideally I find something I can do freelance or close to. I already do something like that typing from home but it is more tiring and less pay per hour than even a min wage job outside
@@Stallzyx sounds like a plan bro, I was feeling really down when i wrote this nd i guess i still do. I know i gotta get some routines into my life and shit, thats where i gotta start atleast. ive been taking a break from school now and im on my second year off. Ive realised that this sht isnt for me i get stuck so easily in this lifestyle and i find myself just getting depressed instead of enjoying my free time. Im looking forward to studying atleast, Life was just easier before thats it.
@@lim3ee387 agreed. I feel like I currently have similar to a gambling addiction trying to squeeze nostalgia out of the old call of duty games while it's still possible to play them and hit big sniper clips that I should have done ages ago but I was prioritising school and work etc (rightly so maybe?) haha
nah i feel you
damn how much i love these videos, knowing someone else is somewhat feeling the same thing ur feeling just gives you peace.
I’m really enjoying these motivational videos it feels like chatting with a friend after school
hi, im 17, i live in belgium and i drop out of school like 2 year ago because i just could'nt go, i feel like school is a factory to make us work for the rest of our life and i just dont like it, im trying to do what i love but it dont seems to work.. I really dont want to go work a 9-5, just thinking about it makes me depressed, even playing video games are just making me feel useless, i dont know if my future is gonna be decent. i started to watch your videos the moment you published '' everything just feels different '' because that video got a hit on me so hard like you cant imagine, i just hope that yours videos will work, your cloth brand work out and i hope you the best for your future. you deserve it man.
I feel you man, at my job I either gotta start at 5:30am or 10:30pm and leave in the morning, I feel like all I wanna do is sleep when I'm off work and it's running my life
You have to throw your resume out there. Apply to a bunch of different stuff. Even a temporary change can give you some breathing room to think about what this life is about.
Actually really fucking well spoken, didnt even realise the video came to an end
Damn I’m a bit of a mumbler so that’s cool to hear!
love the skate 3 gameplay ^^
(also your message, your thoughts deeply resonated with me man.)
I am really glad I found your channel. I feel the same way you do and I actually just recently (over the past month and a half) have been planning to go back to school to actually pursue a career that I want to have. Lack of a financial backing makes some of these leaps hard to take but its like you said, you don't have to stop working. Just let that work continue to drive you to work towards your goals.
I have faith in you bro don’t give up
I was a software engineer and a cyber security expert. I spent far too long being at jobs I hate. I am fed up. I'd rather die than go back. I sold my home and luckily will have no debt. I am also lucky I don't have any children. I am just going to live on nothing until I get my business going. You almost just got to get to the point you can't take it anymore.
Wishing you the best bro
you don’t know how much these videos mean to me and probably to many others out there that feel they can’t speak about the things you speak about, these last three videos have hit so deep man, 25 years old and no direction just missing the old days of bo2 and mw3 going for feeds with the boys, keep these up dude, they mean more than you think🤙🏻
When all that mattered in life was hitting feeds 😂 and it got us no where besides the good memories ahaha
God bless you. So refreshing to hear someone else voice their 2cents on this. Makes you feel like you’re not alone going through the same thing
Keep it up bro that vid that blew up and the follow up vid made me cry knowing we cant go back only move forward.
I feel you man. I work at a Walmart warehouse and it is soul sucking. I feel so much anxiety and anger when I’m there. But I like what you said about letting that drive you to do something that you wake up excited to do because it’s yours. Keep up these videos. You are impacting more people than you know. We’re all here with you bro.
Use that anger bro it’s what got me to make this channel and look at it now. You got this
It's amazing how youtube works. You ignited something in me....something i had years ago. This account im commenting from....back when i had the "spark" so to say to do something of my own, even when it wasnt perfect - my english was not as good as it is now, i was a gullible kid trying to make videos about a game i loved.. but nontheless i did something.
Then graduation came, then work and i knew i still had something in me. I dont want to badmouth anyone, thats not my point. But I notice stuff that others around me at my work dont. I understand stuff really quickly compared to others.
My passion, for a long time, was music / writing lyrics. So I bought a mic, audio interface, plastered my room with acoustic panels and made some songs that my close circle enjoys - they honestly tell me when they dont feel it and the other way around, tell me when something hits them......but I never got the balls to reach out, record at a professional studio and release it.
Your video, your voice, your tone got me butterflies again. That feeling that something is going the right way (I dont know how to describe it)... the feeling like you are finger tips away from something. Thanks a lot. I dont want this to sound the wrong way, to get the attention - but when I was 12 years old I tried to "leave" this world (bullying, mockery, etc.) and eversince I doubted myself. I got over it right after highschool and at that time became the best best best friends with my 2y older brother with whom we are currently trying to break through with our projects.
Thank a lot, I felt heard. Amazing....truly
Best of luck with what ever you wish to achieve 🫡
Thank you. This means the world to me, insparation is the key excaping this perpetual cycle of work. It wears on your mind and body so much that its not worth it. Working to live your life isnt bad but living to work is hell. Dont let them drag you deeper into this mindset that this is all you are, and all your good for. Fuck them and fuck that be your own person make your own brand start your own buissness find a way to live beyond anyones expectations even your own.
You’re videos are my therapy, and I love it
This stuff motivates me to keep going 🫡
@ you’re the best, you’ve even inspired me to film a video about my childhood abuse as a coping mechanism
I always watch your videos on my work break 😂 feels like a good conversation with one of my coworkers
every single day i wake up for 7 am to go to work, im 20 right now and ive been so unmotivated to do ANYTHING with my life all because of work. these videos truly do motivate me man i love what ur doin, knowing im not alone in all this is great. thank you again faded
Break out of the cycle bro because society tells us we should be doing this till we are 60… that’s crazy in my eyes
Bro u really just motivated me to make videos like this frfr. Gonna try to help people find that happiness we once had again. Make a space where people feel safe to speak their thoughts and not keep it held up a space where people don’t have to hold emotions in…thank you for the motivation brother like seriously
I'm just imagining someone walking in on you while you're recording your video on your break! 😂
He works from home
That makes sense. For some reason I thought he brought his laptop to work and was like "fuck it I'm making vids on my break" 😂@@mkw9999vr
Nice video brother, I really relate to this. I start work at 8am everyday and every morning I’m constantly thinking about my escape. When I get home I’m usually so out of it but I still try and motivate myself to get in the office and work on my editing. Keep hustling bro I believe in you
Bro my mind drifts just like this almost all day every day since i got sober a few years back. Its all i think about almost obsessive. I know for a fact that there is a new way of doing things, I know for a fact that a 9-5 just isn't it anymore & tbh it never was it was some old timey shit written by a guy with ink and a feather. And i think alot of people fail to realise they're own potential and just accept the cards they where dealt myself included sometimes. Deep down im not okay with that and never will be until im doing shit on my own and owning what i do. Thanks for your content bro keep at it.
Hey dude, I just wanted to tell you I love your content. I relate to everything you say, and I wouldn't by any means say I'm depressed or that I lack happiness, but life is bleak, it's almost like the perfect painting. The perfect painting that over the years has bled and lost its bright vivid colour. But I think that's because of our perspective or outlook on things. I think we're simply looking through the wrong lens, and that painting never really changed, but it was the lens that we viewed that painting from, that did. I always say that we are never really living. We are born, and that's the only moment we are alive. We don't die once. We die every day, or atleast a part of us does.
Very well said
I just subbed ❤️ I watched your video about a week ago and I couldn’t find your account again. Then today while I’m on my 30 minute break I see your video pop up again. Your words found its way back to me and it made me happy . Keep up the good work and I wish the best for your clothing brand or whatever passion you have that makes you happy 🫶🏽
Glad you're back bro! I wish the best for whatever you want to do also
I was always told that if I worked hard and stayed at a job for a long time, than I would make a lot of money and get a lot of benefits there. Never happened to me. While I'll admit that I don't stay at the job for a long time, I do bust my ass off whenever I worked. But never got anything in return.
What really got me out of this mindset was when while I was at my final months working at Burger King, even though I was told by the majority of my coworkers that they like having me there and I'd get stuff done, I had barely any hours. Meanwhile one of the coworkers we had, that doesn't do anything and would make a huge mess for no reason. Having one of us clean it up half the time. They got double, maybe even triple the hours than I got. And when I asked for more hours, that never happened. So after experiencing that I just decided enough was enough and left. It was really an eye opener for me and now I don't go the extra mile on jobs.
Rest in peace to that dude, pizza party for remembering a life is vile and sad.
So so so f*cked up I don't wish that on you or I
@@oncefaded Wish that on nobody. pinnacle of corporate apathy.
aim for the moon and youll land around the stars
here before this vid hits million views
Mr Faded, seeing that latest video of yours break the algorithm kicked up a fire in my soul.
Your editing style and demeanour helped me realise that well, bo6 is genuinely so bad for my mental health and that I'm basically holding on to the nostalgia of my childhood.
I posted a lil vid just now, I'm not on some self promo bs here, you don't have to go and watch it, I just want you to know you and a few others on the RUclips platform were QUINTESSENTIAL to that video's creation and you just helped me a lot this past week with moving forward in my life, I appreciate you.
Stay well and I hope you had a great thanksgiving with your family :) x
I'm on a week break from work.. this video really hits. I am so much happier with my time to myself.
Make sure to relax bro you’ve earned it! But also be productive and set yourself up to escape the job
@@oncefadedthanks bro I wish you well I think you have the potential to make it on yt. I’ll be subscribing. This was a good video. Miss playing skate.
HVAC + RUclips my way. I don’t need to escape the 9-5. I genuinely want to help people’s home + help people on RUclips.
hey mate me again(the 19 yr old from the 2nd vid) and fk ur right i just needa live and do shit and not think about it. Followed ya clothing store since the moment i watched the 2nd vid and cannot wait for it to drop followed it at before there was even 50 ppl now its growing rampart cannot wait for the drops! But basically just thank you for being a voice that's helped me think about perspective, the way i live, everything really, Opened my mind up and now have a feeling that i can potentially turn shit around and might not be stuck in this infinite loop now its just trying to figure out what i truly want to do with the rest of my life thats the hardest bit cos i got 0 clue on what i wanna do for a job/even what I'm interested In. Please keep up the vids there quite literally 1 in billion just like u mate
really enjoying your videos, thanks for uploading mate
Sometimes life is like a dark dark tunnel you wont always see the light but if you just keep moving keep getting up! You will prevail! Follow your own journey not what people think your journey will be.
Never had such a random channel pop up in my feed, making me think. Shit, this dude is reeeeally into something.
I'm at a tricky crossroads, I'm at a point where I have a good 9-5 and enjoy it but also its not what I WANT to do, I'm starting to get to a position where I could do content full time but the fear and anxiety of content failing or 'falling off' or anything like that scares me so much where I'm just not sure I can make the leap
Well what's the worst that can happen if you leap? If you fall, get up. You got this
Someone commented before to do doordash / uber while you focus on content. I think thats a pretty good idea. Even though the money won't be as good, you'll get to choose your hours. And fall off is kind of inevitable in this space but the skills are so transferable (editing, photoshop, algorithm). You got this
I worked construction for 5 years. Pushed me close to suicide near the end, its astounding what employers / colleagues will expect you to give for such little conpensation, and how they will expect you to feel guilty for not jumping at the opportunity to do so.
keep working bro you got this man
This video hit me In my feels. I am truly inspired thank you for this bro
Thank you for this video man. I hope we all make it Much success and blessings
Amazingly inspiring ! Thank you for this video!
Stay on the grind G!
i encourage you and everyone here, i'll try my best too to live my life the way i want. thank you for your videos, it's nice, it feels different.
wish you all the best bro
Before I joined the company I work for right now, I used to get motivated and inspired to do shit for myself as a programmer, but now that I work as a software developer, I get home and I can't get myself to code anymore. I work with what I love, or rather what I used to love back then. The lost of motivation makes it so hard to find motivation in other things, I used to stream and create videos, but with time I simply lost the motivation to continue because of how exhausted I get after work. Maybe one day I'll overcome this and manage to find something new to inspire me into good things.
Let these feelings push you to do stuff for YOU. The future version of yourself will thank the present you
As if you got a skate 3 vid bro, love it; keep switching it up with these old games man
This might be the most relatable video I’ve ever seen on RUclips 🥹
Love the vid keep up. Love the videos you give me a different view on things in Life.
here before you got 100k. Good Luck on the journey bro
🫡🫡🫡
I don't even know if the way I feel is the way I feel anymore.
I feel this hopefully you get to your dreams
Am I the only one laying awake in bed 3 am feeling depressed and watching these kinds of videos 😔
At 3:20ish, you said you never took that leap, and you always just waited. I really feel that, I've kinda been feeling like that for a while, but I think i'm started to learn how to take more risks, how to actually do things I want to do, not just things I have to do. Thanks for making these videos man, they are really well done and they are definitely something I think a lot of people can relate to.
Good to see you again man
Yeah doing something over and over and over Is exhausting
I had that same feeling when I was 20-22 then I went to the oilfield it was good pay but then got the same feeling and didn't want to do it again even the pay wasn't satisfying anymore and quit but I went back for quit cash and left again rn I'm unemployed with a broken car tough life
skate 3 was such a sick game for its time
Yo bro this is really insightful
Me watching this video is realizing I’m looking up at the stars and somebody else is star gazing at the same stars as me.
thanks so much bro for this video. i relate a ton to pretty much everything you say
I really hope you make it out man, for the sake of us all that are going through the same exact thing.
I hope everyone makes it out of the rat race
feeling the exact same way
I've been asked what I want to do in life by my family so much this year and I really don't know. I don't really have a real passion for anything right now, I have things in mind but I don't even know if the reason I get into them will still be around by the time I'm able to achieve it. Yes I'll still have a passion to help understand how mental problems form in the brain and the best way to fix them but really the only reason I feel that way is because I've been through hell and back and I feel that's selfish of me but it's the only reason I feel a slight passion for it. Even with the passion I have for it, I don't know if I'll be able to do it. I've made so many mistakes in life that I'm trying to fix but at the same time I always ask what's the point, I'll probably lose my reason before I get the real chance to change it. All the time I want to strive for greatness but I feel so lost everyday, I question myself, my reasons, my responsibilities. It's weird but I hate and love myself almost equally. Really my only motivation through life has been hatred and spite, I'm just an emotional person who never got the chance to really express myself. I don't hate or spite anyone it's mainly towards myself and feeling like a coward if I were to just end it. I've tried a few times but I never fully went through with it, I want to live but right now I feel there's nothing to live for except my grandparents. I'll be 18 in 2 months and I have a security job lined up for me but the only reason I'm taking it is so I can help my grandparents, they've taken care of me my whole life and I feel like such a piece of shit because I haven't been able to get a job since I'm a drop out who's trying to get his ged. All I want is to help but I can't help anyone if I can't even help myself. I'm sorry for ranting like this in the comment section but I'm trying my best right now and I don't feel like it's enough.
One of the best things a man can do is invest in himself. Dedicate an hour a day to workout, plan, learn, or schedule a day trip outdoors for the weekend. Break your norm. Control your current controllables. Money will come and go. Thank God for your present. His path is always working the way it should. Prayers so everyone here ❤
A 9 to 5 is not a permanent job my guy a 9 to 5 is for yu to build your money so yu can buy the things yu need to start your own business...
once you lose purpose in life, you end up running into ur purpose i realized.
Hope it goes great
i feel this so so much, there just has to be more to life man, YT/twitch/content creation in general is filled to the brim with everybody trying to be able the next hot/viral thing, the chances are just so slim. That's why i put all my hope in the $GME (GameStop) stock, the media keeps hammering on how everybody should 'forget the meme stock' but they've been saying that for the last 4 years lmao, idk my gut feeling is just telling me that this will be something big just because how hard the media is on their backs. If you're reading this, you might think this sounds dumb af or you might think that there's indeed something brewing here. There is ton of information out there, i just bought a little bit and i'm holding, i was too late for bitcoin but i'm very early for the $GME train! EARLY, NOT WRONG! (DRS that shit)
ima just be, and do me. experience the experience.
Hey man been loving these videos one recommendation I’ve got is to change up the background music though. As much as I love need 2 some variety would be nice
Was literally thinking the same thing. I gotchu
Felt this so hard. Some weeks I don't even get two days in a row off. Work drains me so much. I want to make something of my own. Not a company or anything but some way to express myself that could give me a way out of work. Work feels like it just kills all of my expressive ability
Yup yup been feeling the same way for the last two years since I graduated. 19 now and I just put my 2 weeks in and now I'm enlisting in the army because why not , the same way you put time into that job and waste away for them to even just barely appreciate you and givw you a 50 cent raise you could use that to truly do what you want i just beg you if you are ablebodied be your best self and accomplish amazing things.
Find God he’s real. Your life won’t instantly change but a year from now you’ll have that feeling you’re searching for.
I feel you man. I feel you. I'd write more but I need to get back to work. Much love
🥲🥲🥲
Fuckin new favourite creator. Thanks for another life vid man
Gotchu bro 🫡
Love the song what’s it called ?
I’m 32 goin thru this now. I was the opposite put everything in my craft in my 20s w photography and being a “starving artist” was such a grind but the older I got ij needed to have something more sustainable. I still do both and photo my passion. I’m just tired :/
Sorry to hear that bro. I wish you the best and don't lose your passion to your job. it's not worth it
Thanks buddy! i appreciate you i hope you get out the rat race bro❤
I wish u all the best bro
dont give up fam
Jesus, that was too close. I was the 250th insta follower, lol. I almost didn't make it. Anyway, I wish the best to you, m8. Good luck!
Man this couldnt be more relatable now. 2 days ago I started at my first full time job. But I have been trying to make it with trading forex for 8 months. Being in that shitty job motivates the hell out of me to make it in trading. I dont know you but I wish you the best and I can tell that with that mindset you have, you are going to make it
Wish you the best too brother. With whatever you’re trying to do
i was facing my own self, am i gonna sit here and worry about what to do, and doing nothing, or just do everything i can.
Everything is just cycles, the same old wheels going round and round but never getting anywhere. I always look forward to the weekend, then when the days arrive I just don't feel like it's enough to even wind down. Once you've managed to breathe out and relax it's gone as soon as it came.
But what do you do when there is no spark left in you? I lack dreams and ambitions. I have nothing to aim for, so I end up doing the same shit, day in and day out. All I do in my spare time is just sitting home and playing video games or other form of entertainment, just trying to relax. But there's always that gnawing sensation in the back of my mind, it all feels hollow at the end of the day because there's no progression. Just mindlessly running on the hamster wheel without a destination in sight.
I even do what I'm supposed to: Work to earn money, eat healthy and workout five days a week to get fit, being kind to others, etc. I have a loving family, a good job, I'm healthiest and fittest I've ever been. But at the end of the day what does it matter when you don't know who you are or what you want to do? My own reflection isn't even myself anymore, just a blurry figured of someone who used to be me. But the worst part is not knowing what piece of myself I'm missing.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to find a spark to light up a fire in my soul. I'm just that kid from back then, just a kid that didn't know how to adapt to the growing adult world I guess.
I’m slowly coming to the realisation that video games is a slight coping mechanism. Like I still play them a shit tonne but it really is an escape from reality, just like a drug. I suggest just starting a note and just writing shit down that you want to do and expanding on them. It can really help put things into perspective
@@oncefaded Yeah I've very much noticed that too now that I've grown older. I guess I just didn't want to realize it until now.
Change is a scary thing and it's hard to break out from your comfort zone, but I can't put it on hold forever. I'll give it a shot. Thank you!
@@oncefaded This 100 percent, the days just merge into one another and like I don't work a structured week really so my mum has shown me what she finds works for her and it makes sense, basically like journalling what you've done each day and what you still have to do. Make a list for the week or month ahead and maybe discipline yourself to not treat to other things which are time wasting activities until you get a few things on the list done each day
6 - 6 most days with Saturday work too 5 hours, it’s deteriorating just work, eat, sleep I also just want to go skating too which helps me keep sane but got no time to do it, nearly 30 bout time I do something for myself I say, I’m resigning tomorrow, life isn’t long do what you want to do with it, cool vid
Good luck with whatever you’re going to do bro 🫡
Hard thing is when you have a lot of dreams and ambitions, and nobody at all has the same energy. They look at you weird and are doubtful. It’s dead everywhere you go. Everyone has decided their fate in a dead end job. They have no time to live or enjoy life. They have no purpose or any life that fills their eyes. They are literally just waiting to die and I see this starting at ages 21 and up.
what song is this
That logo goes crazy bro put it on a sweat and I’ll cop it
Coming real soon 🫡
Hi, I’m 68 and I feel like my life is finished, is it to late to study
I just lost the best job i ever had. Ive been just laying in my bed everyday since then. Dont know what the future holds for me. This video kinda pushed me to get out of bed.
have you trade trading futures
I’m 20 and I feel the same, I’m in college and work part time, doing quite well for myself and my age. I’ve got a few qualifications and I’m not entirely broke where im starving for money, but all the courses I did and am doing in college I’m just like. Am I really gonna have to do one of this forever, I tried the TikTok avenue and it didn’t work really plus lost passion. Kinda just lost I don’t want to work 9-5 rest of my life I want to travel but how?
I can't even get a job to begin with.
No place ever responds to applications.
I'd like to be able to work for myself but i also don't have anything specific that i like doing that i can make money on.
Honestly i don't know what to do anymore.
I recorded my ep in 30 minute increments. I feel it.
69th like. bro's hitting a consistent upload schedule now with the existential vids. I fuck with it.
I started RUclips because TheIMightyHutch, and Optic Gaming. Dreamed of being and Optic/FaZe Sniper. Ended up editing as well. useful skill still use it as I taught myself most of it along with find another channel which I still LOVE BakerTuts
work just fucking blows, and im practically a one man show doing a fuckton of shit, but ima make it out
I heard someone say once that hard work is rewarded with more hard work. Don’t burn yourself out
