#youtubenewwave
It's Midnight in Amsterdam and I just pressed publish on this video. First off, I hope that you're doing well.
Secondly, this video was never supposed to see the light of day. I was planning to scrap the footage because I felt too sad to film for most of the trip and there wasn't a lot of video to work with. However, Instead of skipping to a more "fun" video like the next one in Argentina, part of me feels obligated to share the emotional context as I was heading into that trip. A gap year isn't just all smiles and traveling around the world- I don't want to perpetuate that image. So, in an effort to document and share an accurate depiction of my life as I'm growing up, this episode hopefully sheds light on the other side of what normally gets kept in private.
Much love,
Max
Love u maxii don't be sad wish u good luck in health take care of yourself 💗
Wish you good luck. Take care yourself❤ love uu
It's alright...you got that...watch your step....stand up again....and fly high up in the sky.
Thank u so much for posting this video max!
Be brave Max, be proud to have lived the life you want, be proud in every moment or day that passes, in that moment you tried your best to pursue the goal you wanted. would like. Don't worry Max me or all the viewers are still with you. Courageous boys of the vibration. Max< I'm glad you made a video and gave me so much inspiration and experience> 1 more time. Courage to my wet boy.
it’s alright max, our whole generation is going through the same crisis. i failed my first year of university, we all need to just take our time. please know you are able to talk with me or any of your friends/family if you feel bad, it’s great that you are able to express all these feelings on this platform instead of bottling up these emotions. we all are having to figure out ourselves during adulthood you aren’t alone and you aren’t a failure. keep being you Max.
I love your way of speaking so sweet and all of us with you max take care of yourself 💗
bro my life has gone downhill since the end of 2020
Crisis? What about those who were teenagers in 1941 who were then not asked but commanded to take up a rifle and storm the beaches of Normandy? What about those in the 1950’s who were shipped off to Korea or those shipped off in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s to the jungles of Vietnam. Your generation is not going through a crisis other than a crisis of having been placed in a cocoon by your parents generation who thought by sealing you in bubble wrap it both physically and intellectually it would make things ok. It doesn’t. Yours is the most isolated and insulated generation in all of history, and what it proves is that responsibility and requirements are what makes life meaningful and robust. Get out and get to work, and I promise you, you will find that life makes much more sense.
couldn’t have said it better myself… we’ve all been struggling more and more since the pandemic started and ig we’re all just learning how to live again :’)
well said jerry, completely agree here
It was failure that broke me free of my darkest depression. Breaking free of the expectations I placed on myself and my family and society did too. I was able to care about the things that meant the most to me and only then I felt like I developed and am developing constantly.
I learned something really important from this video: " I'm not alone ". We are just a bunch of teenagers who trying to live in diffirent countries, all of us have diffirent goals and huge dreams, on the other hand this world just not skipping us. It start teaching us so many things and maybe we dont even know " who are we ? "yet. But everything is temprory, right ? Even this pressure on us !! We need to support eachothers and ourselves. We got this. Also thank you for sharing this video, it feels like a friend of mine just express his feelings, ı just wanted to be there and having a conversation with you.
Ps: You're doing fine :)
I don’t normally comment on RUclips videos but man, this video gave me so many mixed emotions.
First of all, it takes a lot to share the things that you are struggling with on the internet. Being vulnerable and so personal online isn’t something you see from many creators and you deserve so much credit for this. I’m sure there are hundreds of people that think you are living this amazing life because you drive an awesome car, travel the world, etc. It just goes to show that everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.
You have so much going on in your life right now, even if a lot of it is created in your own head. Stuff you may not even know how to put into words. It’s overwhelming I know, but that’s because you love yourself and you hold yourself to such high standards. You’re just figuring it all out man, and you will. I know it’s tough but try not to be so hard on yourself. You’re doing better than you realise. We’re all doing better than we realise.
One thing is for sure though, you are not a failure. If you’re a failure, the rest of the world is too.
It’s awesome to chase stuff, and to want more out of your life, but if you try to chase perfection you will never be satisfied. It’s so important sometimes to just take a step back and be present in the moment. Not easy when you’re so lost in your thoughts, I know.
You may not be where you want to be in life right now but you’re also not where you used to be.
We’re all in this together just riding the wave that we call life. There will be ups and downs :)
We’re all here with you every step of the way brother.
I second 100% what you said.
I resonate with your words, thank you
God! I needed to read this
Very well said 🙌
what a nice words man, love it so much.
your mom did a really great job raising you! you've became a great person! i've watched one of your very first video years ago and honestly you were the same good person just as you are now :) its exposed on your forehead who you are and everyone around you is lucky to have you in their lives. Enjoy life.
Brother, I want to be your friend, can I?
👏👏

@@younes_bal yeah sure
Whenever Max share the little bit of footage of him having a mental breakdown. It reminds me that he is a human being also and I have empathy towards that. Max don't say that the world doesn't want the footage of you crying because everybody wants a reminder once in a while that they are not alone in this world. There is hope there are resources that can help if you feel that the world is collapsing on you.
Brother, I want to be your friend, can I?
Max I’m there with you man, currently sleeping on a tour bus living out dreams 14 yr old me with a camera would freak over. But still struggling to know exactly where my purpose is being directed, and not quite being fulfilled with where I’m at yet, even though I’ve been blessed with so much success so far. Praying God will continue to provide some vision for both of us along the way as we exercise our passions
"there's only so much consumption that you body, mind, soul, heart can take without a healthy balance of creation"
That got me good, man. There was a lot of stuff stuff you could've left out of this video and making it a more comfortable product to release. I am really glad that you kept it all in and proud of you for failing your gap year; by doing that, you gained something far greater in return.
Brother, I want to be your friend, can I?
@@younes_balWhere are you from?
@@younes_balYou can make me your friend
Max, Thank for being so authentic with everybody. It shows the great person you are and the kind of content creator you are, not everybody wants to show in a vulnerable position to their public. Everybody wants to show their great lifestyle and that is it.
You will overcome every obstacle that life puts you man, you are super strong. Love you man :)
such a powerful video Max! been following all of Ryan's and your vlogs and journeys since - and every single time it hits my heart the message you guys are trying to convey. sending hugs!!
Oh my god you put so many emotions to this video that must be a different thing because I've barely seen such people who post their real thoughts and emotions in this platform. I mean in my opinion being able to do this is actually the most beautiful part of you because I'm not that kinda person, I can't open up and tell about my real emotions. And I hope you're gonna achieve your goals ASAP. Don't be hopeless you're so strong,you've proved this so many times Max. Late or whatever you can do this and we believe in you.
Love you Max💚
Wonderful young man, your transparency is moving and edifying. All humans struggle, and you remind us that it's possible to endure huge stress and survive. You are talented, empathetic, thoughtful. You are also very young, and you will shine more more in life. Thank you.
Thank-you so much for sharing, Max. You’ve shown how self-aware and resilient you are and you are right to be proud of the person you’re becoming. All the best to you and safe travels
The world might not want to see it but we need to. It's so refreshing to see someone my age not hold everything in and try to keep everything under control. Good job, Max. You have come so far and that's enough. It takes time, sometimes more than we'd like. I'm so happy for you and how much you've grown :)
I'm always proud to see your accomplishments through the ups and downs of your gap year. In the wise words of a good friend, "you got this ... I know you'll make this happen."
Dont be so hard on yourself bro. We all are strugling with something that nobody knows. The fact that you show your emotions in your videos, just shows for us how genuine is your experience and how real you are, and I really appreciate that. Life can be resumed in phases, but the important is that we're not alone to pass through that. Stay strong (:
Hi Max, this video is important for you on so many layers, and so valuable for those who are open to the insights.
Firstly, we need more young men to be open and honest about the ups and down of mental health and even having panic attacks. Your openness and transparency will be an inspiration to so many young men who suffer in so many relatable ways, but haven’t been exposed to the language of feeling sad, anxiety, panic, depression and the various other forms that can impact us mentally.
Secondly, and I am much older, but one of the things that still comes up in my own therapy is that of being a perfectionists. I am actually glad that you haven’t posted your gap year videos each week. I am still struggling with other people’s exceptions as I interpret them to create pressure on myself. Your Gap Year is actually for you, and not for us. Feel free to let us go, so you can complete this journey for yourself and those you want or need to be with. If in the rest of the year we see something, that would be a bonus for us, but not a need or expectation. My perfectionism has caused me much harm over my life.
There are other things I could add, but I think I will finish with a comment about why I disagree with the title of this video. It is not possible to fail a gap year. Even if you did nothing (and you haven’t) and thought that was a waste of a year, downstream there is reflection and learning. My son, in Australian/Commonwealth countries tradition of Gap Year spent his time in the UK. There were major problems, he had to make all sorts of decisions about where an how he was safe. He change schools to work in (which wasn’t the exception) and even though the second one was better, there were still traumatic things he needed to navigate.
Some of the growth and development from a GAP year are immediate, some take some years or even more to realise.
You can’t fail this year. Go, be for and with yourself as your first priority.
i love your channel, love the directions your content has taken through the years and cant wait to follow your journey. You're doing great, max. keep up the good work and don't be so hard on yourself (talking as an anxious perfectionist myself haha). also, love how you can even turn ads into amazing content. love from argentina.
Hope you are doing better, I personally don't believe in failure, I believe you've improved a lot as a creative, it's true sometimes we intended something to happen our way but they just don't, and sometimes it takes time to find lessons in those failures...
I think you did great through your gap year and there's still months left, who know what might unfold in Argentina?
Be brave Max, be proud to have lived the life you want, be proud in every moment or day that passes, in that moment you tried your best to pursue the goal you wanted. would like. Don't worry Max me or all the viewers are still with you. Courageous boys of the vibration. Max< I'm glad you made a video and gave me so much inspiration and experience> 1 more time. Courage to my wet boy.
Part of growing is having goals that take more than a year to accomplish. It's hard. I'm struggling with burnout in my 3rd year of college because, like you, I can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel yet. Keep going man
hey Max! Just wanted to say that I'm really proud of you too and that I feel soo lucky to know your RUclips channel. You feel guilty about not posting frequently but don't worry, because besides being a content creator we see you as a human being, and I think the last one is the most important perspective. Take your time to process what you're going through and know that we feel really happy for you :) Growing up is not easy, but it gets less difficult when teenagers have people like you to guide them or even just make them think differently, more creatively! You inspire so many people!!!
Hope you're doing fine ❤️
Max, this video has so many emotions, I know what you’re going through, it’s not easy, but I’ve been through it all. Please do NOT give up and eventually, you will reach the destiny you R wanting to be at !❤️ I hope you R NOT giving up on yourself but also believe in yourself ❤️😁you are strong and you can get to where you want to be in life 🙂 thank you for reading of you reached until the end 🙂 have a good day/night
You're amazing, buddy. Thank you for sharing your feelings. There are two or three years that I started to follow you and I remember to think "oh, i'm going to watch a Max's video 'cause his life is everything I would love to have". But then, you started to show everything in your life, and yeap, it's really amazing, even with ups and downs, but I would like you to know that you're not a failed. Take you time, set your mind in good vibes and what makes you happy! We will always be here. Growing up together, like teenagers crying because there's a difficult math count, lol. Stay Safe!♥️
I'm really glad you decided to share this with us, Max. Having no structure and total freedom all of a sudden in life can be so so terrifying at times.
This video is amazing!! Thank you Max for sharing your thoughts and emotions during this growing process. I think that you are very brave in order to share this kind of content with us. Congrats for all of your work and keep learning a lot from life. It´ll always be ups and downs and i think that the best way to overcome them is to learn from them. In my opinion, you are taking advantage of your gap year so enjoy it a lot!! A great big hug :)
You inspire me Max and I’m actually so grateful for that! Even if u failed ur gap year it doesn’t matter you are only 18! You have accomplished so much at a young age and I’m so proud of you! 🥳
Max you are so young. I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years. I can’t even fathom the idea of you imagining that you’re a failure. You are truly an inspiration and have personally helped me out of incredibly dark places. Being young is about taking chances and making mistakes. Forgive yourself.
you have no idea how much of an emotional support this video is 😭 i'm literally crying with you as i am sitting in midst of my own crisis...i'm eternally thankful for this vulnerable share max. i'm also trying to take on the perspective of what it is about failing that triggers such a deep sadness and i'm coming to realize that a part of us is grieving the loss that resulted in "failing" ...maybe a desire, a dream to fulfill in a certain way that doesn't. and i feel like to focus on giving space to the grievance nourrishes the heart to heal and help it to move through the pain and then move on lighter on the heart... rather than to focus on "judging" oneself to have "failed" ❤ take good care max
Hi, Max. I also feel strong anxiety sometimes. Your videos are important to me. Thank you for sharing us your feelings. These make me feel at ease.
hey Max, i have to say that i really really enjoy your videos. I discovered you there's few days i guess and tbh you make feel your public going in your life like if we were just here with you enjoying the present moment next to you. I like your thoughts and the way you see the life, you're natural infront of the camera and you don't act like your life was perfect. You share every moment like they are even the bad one, you share your fears, your hopes, your success etc and it makes you an human. So thank you very much for sharing all of this with us :)
My sister was the same few month ago. She was crying a lot, she was figuring out who she really is and what she want to do with her life. She was in a great doubt for everything. She was feeling guilty about what she's done and what she hasn't done. She was talking to me all the time about these feelings and thoughts.
Dude. Awesome video again. If you are feeling like you are not improving or staying in the same place. Don't do that. I watched your first video 3 years ago since then I am following you and seeing how you grow as a person. You matured a lot and your editing also improved crazily. In your videos, there is always a message and there is something to learn or something that I can relate to. Your storytelling is crazy. We are all human. It's okay to stop sometimes but don't give up and continue like this. You are going great!
Much love,
Rüveyda:)
ps: I am from Turkey, sorry for my broken English.
I took a break off my Second semester in my university aswell 🥺 but I can tell you I’m doing so much better mentally now!! Sometime in life we need a break and get some life experience to grow up or feel confident about our life ahead.
Dear Max, you're not alone... a lot of people around the world feel the same thing as you do. at the same time you want to move foward and do things that you want, you don't get, it makes part of life and I believe you will overcome this situation....o couse you will figure out you best version, you will get to deal with these feelings and your life will change... sending so much positive vibes to you, from Brazil! you're better than this, dude!
"Make good choices". I'll try remind myself on that great quote.
Hi Max, I hope you're doing well now😄 I must say, I'm really glad you decided to upload this video. I'm also experiencing somewhat a mid gap year crisis and hearing you speak about the things you're experiencing helps me realize it's ok to struggle with creativity, structure, feeling like you haven't really succeeded at the things you set out to do. So, I want to say 'thank you' for (once again) letting us see the vulnerable side of you.
Max, Thank you for having the courage to post this video. Yes, you are indeed growing up. All things happen for a reason and you are learning things that can only be learned by experience. I would say that this gap year is going to benefit you for your entire life. Your are learning more about yourself and adult responsibilities so NO! You have NOT failed your gap year. At the end of your gap year I think you will be far ahead of your peers who took the more traditional route and started higher education right after High School. You will be a better student, if that is the path you choose, for the time and energy you have invested in yourself. Don’t be so hard on yourself for not posting as often as you have wanted to. Everyone of us has set goals that we did not meet at least (and probably more than) once. Think of it as a learning experience.
I am looking forward to following your trip to Argentina.
As always, I send warm regards and best wishes.
It's gonna be alright, it's okay to feel bad it's okay to not know what do you want or what do you live for, it's okay to be depressed, don't force yourself to pass it quickly, feel the emotions, at the end it will pass and you will return stronger, finding a purpose and working for it is great, stulling down and living the good and bad days and just live the day is great as well, l just wanna remind you that your life your achievements and your ability to share what's going on with you may be a big dream to others be grateful even in your lowest, you are amazing be proud and happy :)
I went through something similar in my teenage years, mostly alone, though. You can get through this, and you can survive. You are the mentally strong type.
thank for sharing with us your emotions ! much love to you too
Max, my suggestion is to look closely at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs thinking about not just how you fit into it, but how the world does. You live in unbelievably prosperous times for some like here in the US. But such times are a brief part of history. You may have heard of affluenza, and I would think about how such an affliction is an inevitable manifestation of wealth without purpose. What I would then suggest is thinking about how to perhaps burst your own bubble a bit. You are traveling and “experiencing cultures,” but think about it. What does that mean, and why is it important, and why are you picking certain cultures and not others? Could you be making choices that simply reflect you? So here’s a challenge. Would you consider going to work in a coal mine for a month? Or what about working on a framing crew framing houses for a time. Or maybe working on a farm in a remote area of the south where you might be doing very hard work. I suggest these because I think you will find more meaning in hard physical work than anything you can experience by visiting cultures. Just a thought from decades of experience with young guys just like you.
That's a great perspective actually
okay so I commented on a more recent video earlier today😂 but I watched this and I just have to say that if you ever need or want to talk to someone to just vent or anything, I don’t have any friends so I’m always glad to listen to and relate with others❤️
Appreciate you! ❤️
I'm currently taking a gap year right now, I can feel you so much. I have so much planned when I am about to start to take it, but none of them are really finished as I expected in the first place. But I think it was a part of taking a gap year, It's a part when you about start to growing up, everything is on your own move. And to be honest, I've never really been on my own as I'm taking a gap year before, it's hard to get control of myself. But besides that, I also have time to really work on the thing that I truly love. If I didn't take a gap year, I might be stuck with the thing that I didn't want to go for it for my whole life. Just one year and compared it to your whole life. I also learned a lot of things which really important to me from a gap year. So without a gap year, my life would be so fxxx up. I wish everything will goes well for you and Huge respect for this amazing journal clip, Max.
I want to make friends is there here
You are so brave to put out your raw feelings, you’re so so brave!
You can just skip to the good part and show people the fun you had, but you chose to make this video by reflecting on your feelings and our your heart out, I know it must be very hard but this means a lot to people of your age, like me.
I’m completing my grade 12 in a month and plan to take a gap year as I haven’t performed to a remarkable extent to get a seat in my dream college, I plan to explore and build my interest in the fields i enjoy.
I just want to say, you putting your feelings means a lot and makes me feel it’s okay for our feelings to waver sometimes too💕🥰
I want to make friends is there here
A gap year is working for me, but I don't sure about the other people. You have to be really sure and then go for it, btw took a gap year is the best decision that I've ever made in my life.
@@totonoen6453 i was just talking about my gal year to someone, and here I get this comment coincidence isn't?
How did you plan your gap year, I'm a little curious if you're okay to share
@@outresru7751 I decided to take it because I apply to an engineering in the first place, but then I realized that I didn’t like it, I didn’t want to stuck with it for my whole life. So just one year to figure things out are really worth for me. I found out later that I really love arts, which the things that I try to avoid for my whole life because of the way that society looks at arts. “How are you gonna make money from it” “It’s not secure” bla bla bla. You must have a really strong goal, don’t hesitate or you might lacking the discipline. Because when you taking a gap year, you’re on your own, no one will force you to do things, so you have to get control of yourself. It’ll be damn boring for sure because the past 12 years you used to go to school and have a great time there, but when you’re talking gap year there will be not much friends left as you used to have. The worst part is when you’re on instagram stories and watching your pals have a great time with their new friends. Gap year is really hard for me but I think it’s essential, without it I might didn’t found myself and I might stuck with a thing that I didn’t like for my whole life, it’ll be a f*** nightmare fasho. Gap year is not a waste of time but it’s up to you how did you will take care of it. Good luck
I already posted some comment on this clip, you can find it and read it. It’s about my gap year.
You haven't failed your gap year because you haven't posted regularly, a gap year is for discovery, happiness, sadness, highs, lows, learning, achieving, failing.....it's a journey Max and your an amazing human🙏
It takes so much to be real on the internet,max. Takes so much to be vulnerable online and in that spectrum, you've already won. This is what a real creator is. Portrayal of the good and the bad, the yin and the yang. Yes,you weren't consistent in posting vids, but that's life. It must have been real hard for you in the past 3 months or so,but hey.. you're still Here. You're still our Max. This video made me admire you even more than before. Thank you for keeping it real.
I took a gap year in 2013, and the most challenging part about it as I can remember is to accept the fact that my friends already have their new lives, but I stayed at home, waiting for my reality which is I don't know yet it will end up good or hmm u know nothing's the same after all. But the storm will pass by anyway, I know it. thx to my parents who supported me back then so that I can have my never-dreamed kinda university life, which I mean that year was awesome. What comes after is better, Max. You have done a great job so far. Just keep goin' and see, you'll look back in 5 years later that what you've been through was just all right. :))
Wow, this video is amazing. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us, Max. It made me reflect a lot, I needed this video!
This really helped me, I never took a gap year and I'm older than you but still, I felt every word you said. Thank you for sharing this, I'm really inspired
Hey Max , good to see you ,
Don't question yourself or your life too much , like you said you are gathering data , to spread it around you , that data you gathering will make you who you are . Don't search just enjoy , true having a gap year is great and also hard , but it's the way you took , if you didn't you would of had a different experience but not that rich of knowledge .
Anyway , don't question yourself too much , acceptation is the key .
Be safe , and hope to see you soon ✌️
Thanks for sharing this video, Max ❤
Hey, I love that you share this stuff with us. I mean, i really don't like to see you suffering, but I really like and admire you and it makes me want to know how you're feeling. And I know that when you show yourself happy, you'll probably be happy indeed. Besides you're so smart and has a very positive orientation in life, your reflections are really helpful. And don't worry about the weekly video failure. So much happened in your life, inside you and about you, and in the end I think this year, hard as it has been, will be more important for you and your personality than it would be had it passed smoothly and the videos goal had been fulfilled. As for us your fans, of course we would like to have your "company" on a weekly basis, I know I would. But we can deal with you absence, particularly knowing that it's for good reason. I admire you now even more than I used to before your gap year, I think you're dealing well with your problems. It doesn't mean you are crushing them, that wouldn't be normally possible. But that you are being resilient and growing with them and still being productive and having new ideas (like staying in the houses of fans during the trips, kinda scary I guess, but really nice idea)
This was so relatable. It takes great courage to express yourself like this amd you have done that very beautiful. I would like to learn from you the art of expression.
there are people who are living the best they can and they have much fun with no tention ...........and some of the people are like us we think a lot . This is just a part of life it will pass, just do what you like in the current moment and don't think of the future......But by sharing your feeling you did a very very brave thing , i can't even film myself because of shyness but i try a lot
Max, I failed my gap two years as well, pretty much just like what you are talking about in this video.
But it is so important that be aware that you(we) are already a successful human being every day when you wake up and open your eyes, really the ultimate of a successful life is just like that.
1:01
“Are you recording me?!”
“No”
Max, you didn't fail at all. There's no such thing. You've learnt a lot, experienced a lot, and created the best content I've ever seen on your channel. You've learnt an art form of creation, and just because you didn't post every week like you intended to, it doesn't mean the experiences didn't happen or that you failed. Learning the art of balance is a skill that takes an entire lifetime to master. You're kicking yourself for not learning that skill, yet you're only 18. You still have so much time. You're doing great things. Keep evaluating your internal emotions and creating, and a path will become apparent.
Max dont tack tension .u always , encourage so much young people I hope you are fine.😊🤗
My heart is with you. I feel your sadness, I see your strenght. The way you live and strugle is aliveness. You are alive, and we make a whole together, once we are complete by ourselves.
Stay good, just let it be. The world is in you so keep spinning.
Love Esma
I struggle too to find out what I should be doing in life after seven years from graduating from high school but I still have hope that someday I’ll find my purpose I decided meanwhile to write my memoirs from my childhood as a start.... don’t loose hope
max, i can't even begin to explain how good this video made me feel, how it made me realize i'm not alone. i didn't take a gap year, but i've just moved out to a new city for collage. it's been two weeks and i still don't understand what i'm doing here. i feel so alone and lost, and i honestly don't know if i should be here, if the whole collage experience is for me. but i'm trying to figure it out and flow with it.
i've had many of those random breakdowns and i'm having so much anxiety. trying to see the bright side has become more complicated, but i won't give up. i know i will find my direction one day soon.
thanks for being so authentic and always make me feel so accompanied, even though you don't even know who i am haha.
great things are coming

Max, dawg, just take a breath and live life. What comes, comes, what goes, goes. At the end of the day, it is what it is and sometimes you just can’t do anything about it. So just breath, smile, and just live man, and enjoy it because life is short. I mean look at you, your 18 now already. Sure have a direction and goals and stuff but sometimes just chill and live life man. Don’t stress, and if you are worrying whether or not your growing or not, lemme tell you something, if there’s anything I’ve seen on your channel in the past few months it’s growth. You fully express yourself through these videos and I’m proud of you for it, and guess what, that’s growth right there. So don’t worry man, you’re amazing and you inspire me everyday. I’m not even saying that to make you feel better or anything, I’m just saying that cuz it’s just the truth. You are one of my biggest inspirations and will always be one.
Much love
this is amazing!
I also feel like I failed too and it really sucks. and being vulnerable is powerful
Good Luck And Have Fun In NYC Max!
we all admire you, kid. we all have problems, but not everyone has goals like yours. you have vision which help you to step forward. time is running, but you should start feel the happiness of the present moment
we stay together to achieve more. and so many people believe in you. your sadness is really worth to overlive it, but it is not your reason for self-discharging. you are our motivation in any ways. even now. time will pass. everything will pass.
we support you. stay strong. be sure you can talk to everyone of us
Take care of you Max, and be positive.💜
This editing gives a Wes Anderson vibe combined with your own touch. J'adore.
Wow the ending of the video was insane. The way you ended it on the note of feeling alive, but not going into detail about it, just allowing the definition of that “aliveness” to be open to the interpretation of the audience’s perspective. Like i literally sat up and started clapping. Like i should’ve paid to see that. I even said, if he ends it on that note…and you did, and it was just so astounding to me.
The thing about growth is that you can't be happy with who you are at the moment, but instead with the person you are working to become. Once you realize that then you will be more at peace with the person you are now bc you know that version of you is evolving to become a more true version of yourself. Change is slow, growth is inevitable, and it never stops completely. You are already a truthful, compassionate person you will continue to become a more fine tuned you
I love how real this video is and I feel like I really needed to see this because I feel so lost right now
My identity shifted a lot when I graduated high school, and it hurt. Things that were important to me were forced into the backseat as new interests and passions took over. I can't say whether or not the old me would be proud of who I am today or not. But I can say that current me is extremely proud, even if letting go of the old me was a hard, painful experience
You had a very good advertisment of your product, Max. I hope a lot more brands discover you!
tbh…this current and past few class that graduates are struggling…I know there will be some that won’t feel this but MANY will! I personally failed my first year at college…I felt like I didn’t get that time to adjust and create the foundation of my life…I forced myself to go to school because during my first year of my original gap year Covid happened and I was trapped inside. I wish I could change it but after this failure of my first year, I am happy to say that I am finally taking my gap year!!! I am so excited to experience the things I wanted to originally and change into who I want to be…it gives me anxiety being alone and taking a non traditional route but once you hit rock bottom, the ONLY way it up…even if it’s one step forward you are still taking steps!
I understand You and feel You Max, I'm Your peer and I'm also having My gap year but Mine is going monotonously, I work part-time and I don't have no-one to communicate with and it's really difficult, So I hope and believe that It will be okay.
Be kind to yourself, Max. The only failure is not to try. By that measure, in no way have you failed.
Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. We're all human. Take care of yourself. And like your mother says, "make good choices." Lots of love & aloha, Max.
This is my very first time writing this comment on your video I felt so relatable because we're just going through the same I just got into my university its my first semester its been three months and I got like two times the worst marks in my English test 30 out of 14 or 11 but still I'm trying my best to go ahead and i will get higher marks in every subject secondly you're not alone we all are with you the world is with you the universe is with you. You can cry to make yourself comfortable you're enough for yourself take good care of yourself I'm so proud of you and as you said that I'm so proud of myself made me teared up and I shed some tears while watching this Masterpiece >>>> its gonna be two freaking in this years and I'm so in love with your videos and you inspired me so much I watch your old videos when I get bored that feels like about one and a half year ago when I subscribed your channel I was like this video is looking so amazing let's watch this rn and that day I subscribed you and I would never regret about that I choose the bestest RUclipsr the beautiful human being alive on this universe who is inspiring us from his bright side, dark and emotional side , fun side , his different experiences and traveling video's God bless you MAX WE LOVEEE UHHH
Hi Max,
I'm just discovering this video today, and I hope you're doing well (from the following videos, it looks like you are). First of all and for all, there is no failure until you decide to do it. And from what I can see, there are none that you have done.
I'm glad you took a year off. It's an important time for me to realize with enough maturity what the world is like and decide what you want to do... or not.
You mentioned that your New Year's resolutions were the same as last year's, and it's like you haven't made any progress... Guess what, no one is asking you to have resolutions, and no one is asking you to make them in one year. You have your whole life to make them, that's a loooooong time, right? You're 18 years old, you're still in your 70s. Use them.
Look at what you've accomplished in the last few months. Not what you haven't done. Life is not about succeeding at every project you set out to do, but about navigating between projects and stepping out of your comfort zone. Some will fail, some will win. And you will learn from all of those projects, and keep moving forward, at you own pace and time.
Look at the great videos you've made... are they so bad that you failed? Stay on the positive, Max. And keep doing what's important to you. You're an amazing guy, and having doubts is normal, and it helps to move forward, and accept that in retrospect, you already did a great job.
Ca va aller, ne t'inquiète pas. Tu as le temps.
actually, me too. i feel so down this week. feel like i want to runaway and stay in different city with people who know me.
Hey just wanted say when you said I really don't want to go to Argentina but you knew that's what you needed or had to do thats very similar to how i feel. it's no abt me going to Argentina it's abt my stupid exams but i feel the same way knowing that there's some that feels the same things just feels good and I'm very proud of you for talking abt how you feel in the moment
Hi max,
Don’t be sad,this is how u will grow,it’s ok to fail once,but finding your mistake and repeating it again is not ok,I wish u the best,one day trust me u are gonna be even so much more successful than u are rn,I see that positivity in u,don’t give up keep trying and trying until u reach ur goals,take breaks but don’t quit:) have a wonderful day
oh, i relate to it so much. mot more any words.
We're all in your corner,Ma. You are putting yourself under incredible expectations...but they are of your making. Have you ever thought about going to a short 5-day meditation retreat? Would do wonders and give you tools to combat pressures.
this was a hard watch, but i think that's great. commend you so much for the vulnerability. a lot of gap year is living in self doubt and uncertainty is always right around the corner. i'm glad i joined college, it really gave me that busy routine and the confidence that i needed. that uncertainty though, makes for a really good learning curve..
now thats a film if ive ever seen one. it just keeps getting more realistic doesn't it max. much love - asher
Much love my friend
Max, I discovered your channel a bit ago, now i was a quite away, due to my stuff, now just checked your channel after a month or so, and seeing this video. I loved your truly representation of what mean growing, and what it is for you this moment, crying next to a camera show to all of us of much mature you really are, and no, not all moments are fun. Take your time, exploring, discovering, UNDERSTANDING, even if this means share a bit less as quantity, but is quality what we and you like. Take some periods just for your person to take a bit of air, and give yourself some tie, without any thoughts. NO, youre are not failing your gap year, your channel is fine and everything, that's just a moment of the entire process. Glad you shared with us your moment, this mean you really care us. We care you, it never can rain forever.
Ross
I appreciate the thoughtful and kind comment, Ross. Thank you, it really does mean a lot to me.
Wishing you all the best my friend,
Max
Beautiful, Max. Keep it all up. Feeling like you're doing things wrong or not feeling exactly right is ALL part of the path. It's all part of finding the better way. You're not failing; you're alive. Failure is a part of being alive. Like happiness is as well. Like every emotion. So long as you don't stop trying to figure things out day by day, there's no wrong. Additionally, configuring one's purpose is usually a grueling process. I am very optimistic about your ability to handle said process(whatever form that may take as none of us can know until we look back in hindsight) and about your attitude already preparing you for whatever life is guiding you towards. It's not supposed to be easy... it's supposed to be rewarding. But, part of me tells me you have that knowingness ingrained in you. Keep being Max Reisinger... he's got your back ;)
Max, saludos desde Guadalajara, México. Es increíble ver cómo maduraste para bien en un año. De tener una habitación llena de cosas inútiles, pasaste a lo elemental, lo estético y lo útil. ¡FELICIDADES!.
i proud of you too, max. love you
I have no words. just know that we love you, Max:)
Bro I feel the same
I am in the last year in highschool
And this year in is the most stressful Year in my life so have fun and Enjoy in your life 💖
Since the very beginning we are so ingrained in our mentality that we must complete something by the end of year, no one really teaches you after school that it’s gonna be way more different than what it is to take exams & move to next grade in school. Hence why, we think that every year something must be done and we must move to the next thing, always. We are not adapted to have unchecked boxes at the end of the year but when we see those boxes we feel horrible, angry, loser, terrified of our future and that needs to stopp. This is messing so badly w our mental state.
Someone should have told me that it’s okay if you don’t accomplish anything by the end of the year if you’re enjoying the process. Outcome is not important as it’s gonna pop up one day or the other, what’s important is to have clear idea of what I’m pursuing and where am I heading to and is it something I enjoy or not.
Sometimes unchecked boxes are okay… they are not even that worthy to mess w my peace of mind.
THIS IS SO TRUE! We are forced to be successful in everything too fast, good things take time.
So, what you're feeling is an existential crisis. I've gone through something similar and I can assure you that you haven't failed and with time you'll realize that things will change.
You inspire me Max ❤
Everyone is failing in something that means the most to them and i think it's just the society.
At times i feel like i should just start filming and feel happy but then there is that pressure,
Immense pressure that the people that don't even matter out you in.
Get good grades then study then get good grades then study if you get bad grades you are a failure in life and this loop manages to destroy me.
I wish, i could accept that i will forever be a disappointment to my family because of the courses i will and have taken.
It's heartbreaking but you just have to get your heart broken ig
I have 3 gap years before going in university, because I wanna be a medical student. THAT’s REALLY HARD for me but it’s okay and I made it!! You dont have to worry , good thing take time. You have so much FC supporting you, love you max. (My grammar really bad TT)
don't forget that you are a human being and u dont have to get everything figure out in life no one can ... i believe in you we all. just try to enjoy life . im 22 and im excatly feel the same and im struggling with mental health issues but every single day im trynna be happy and productive i know it's really hard and most of the time i feel like im a loser and i can't acheive nothing but no matter what, i will always keep create and work on what i love
