It was awesome to work together on this!
*O M G*
My most favorite people on RUclips just collaborated! This is my day! ✨
That small conversation between you two was so amazing.
Nathan, was it Tom Fox who introduced you to Johnny, or the other way around? Just curious!
Glad you guys know each other and work together!
Work with Hasan Piker next! He loves your content
The first thing you'd realize after quitting social media is how much everyone else uses their phones
I was thinking exactly this while watching, same from my experience
being a teenager as well, it makes me feel disconnected from my peers but it helps my mental health a lot.
Yeah it’s so weird. I’d be with a group of people and every single person was in their own world on their phone
You can also realize that just by not using your phone on a single work day . You suddenly see everyone around constantly using their phones, while you really don't have much to do
I can relate this with covid. After contracting, it's a complete shift in perspective. I found it extremely surprising to see people not wearing mask and being careless.
Ok but the *editing* on this one though? It's always good, but this was a step UP. That month did you good. Happy you're happier!
THE EDITING IS SERIOUSLY ANOTHER LEVEL!
Our man Nathan really did take the editing up a notch on this one; beautiful vid. (Y'all better be payin' attention DD, haha!)
You are two of my favourite youtubers!!

I feel like I found the good part of the internet. With Pick Up Limes, Damon Dominique and Nathaniel Drew. ❤️🙏🧘🏻♀️
the visuals. the sound design. the story. this was spectacular
my dude. thank you. You're killing it
I am 18 and one of my darkest fears is to be addicted to social media. I have a flip phone, use only a Pentax camera, computer for school, I have social media because its easier to communicate with friends. I limit the people I follow so that my feed is only my friends. People ask me a lot how I am the way I am. I wear what I want, relax, daydream, work on my talents, and genuinely talk to people. I notice with my generation that people are distant, they aren't living in the moment....with me. I struggle with patients with others. I want them to be happy, just get off your phone and look around you!! I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. LOVE your videos! keep it up.
Nowadays society dictates who you are and what you do. If you go against the tides, you’ll be judged. I like to go against the tides. You’re right though.
I admire you for this! Whenever I come off of social media, I feel like I’ve fallen off the face of the earth. I lose contact with nearly everyone and it’s really sad that they obviously are not real friends then. I always give in and go back on Instagram, but your comment makes me want to just stay off it. You’re right, people are so distant and they don’t live in the moment. At my wedding last month, they asked the guests to put their phones away and they didn’t listen. All of my ceremony photos are of people with their phones high in the air. It really upset me. No one wants to just BE. I hope to socialize in person with more people like you!
Wow. This is really an inspiration.
i know! it's literally magical when i look outside. i'm 16 and i feel really boxed in with trying to get into college bc its so... calculated ig. im j gonna get into what i can education is rlly ab ur own efforts anyway not the institution you are doing it at
@@fokkwasabi My guy, if only I can write you a letter on how much i agree with you on that. Our society pretty much developed "if you share an opinion, don't follow trends/blindly believe everything, make mistakes or is different, you're a unholy abomination" way of thinking. We basically judge and harshly criticize people over everything.
Missed your videos, friend - it's nice to see you back 🥰
I should be the one thanking you Sadia, for putting the idea in my head!! :)
@@nathanieldrew yeah she also took a break hehe
@@LauradeVasconcelos haha yess we missed her too :”)
I thought that was you at 9:42!
@@SarahM-lw2gd pretty sure it is her indeed
"I did not miss the constant updates from everybody... I don't need to know what all my friends are doing, all the time."
Been feeling this way for awhile now. The amount of useless information we take in everyday is mind-boggling!
"Life is blurry" - I just loved this line. Great video from two of my favorite RUclipsrs :)
Heeeey cool to see u here!
“Cancelling plans to read is ok. Skipping a party for the gym is ok. Staying at home to cook is ok. Let’s encourage it and respect self improvement.” 🙌🏽
Yes 👏🏼
lol I see you on every channel I watch
If someone cancels plans with me so they can stay home and read instead, I wouldn’t make plans with that jackass anymore
@@Smokey63 😂
@@Smokey63 LOL
Nathan is back and everyone here is smiling.
:)
For me at least that's perfectly accurate :)
Yeah i could not wipe the smile off my face the whole time watching this :)

Good one

I'm 17 and you we will never meet each other and you will skim through this comment. I need to say that you absolutely inspire me. You're affecting people you dont even know exist, thank you. Stay true nathaniel !
Nathaniel uploads for first time in 30 days. Immediately drop everything to watch
The irony is real
Same here
he had uploaded on his second channel before
🎯@@juliankochanowicz5626
I was literally the same haha had to come back to watch this again too cause it's so good
I also did a social media detox for 6 weeks and at the beginning, it was quite hard - but in the end, I didn't even want to reconnect again! I developed so much more time, focus and clarity during that time, I am convinced it is super important to disconnect and reconnect with yourself again.
I also deleted basically almost every social media in December 7 that I thought I was addicted to and automatically spending hours on, which was facebook, tumblr, twitter and the most time consuming: Instagram! the result? I started to read more.
The result for me was I started walking more, I would have nothing to do so I would go for a walk
Me too. Now I read more, I brushed up on my French and speak it fluently and now I'm learning Spanish. I also started writing and finished a play... hoping to publish!
It made me very aware of how much time I have and I felt so closer to myself
Wow... This really inspired me to take a step back and remember what it was like to be a kid. The days seemed so much longer. The air smelled just a little bit sweeter. I want to feel that again. I've been feeling SO overwhelmed these last few years with feelings of inadequacy and the feeling that I'm so far behind where I want to be in my life. I think that a month long detox of the internet and my phone is extremely needed. Thank you, once again for sharing your thoughts and this beautiful work of art with us. ❤️
So relatable, maybe it's time to give this a try, by the way, welcome back to the interconnected world.
two legends ❤
I love your videos.

DO IT DO IT DO IT
The problem with social media is you waste so much of your time observing other peoples lives, rather than living you own.
Very well said. Hv u taken a break from it before?
@@MindNow I completely came off social media between 2016 and 2018, only acquiring it again because of my job at the time. In the modern world social media is certainly a distraction, but does has some beneficial uses
@@kieralilyhall8090 wow, for 2 years?! That’s incredible. What do u use social media for now? Except for business
@@MindNow I'm currently a full time student (2nd year Economics Bsc) and work part-time, so I only really use social media when I need to reach out to work colleagues or to organise shift patterns.
@@kieralilyhall8090 that’s really nice to hear that u hv disciplined urself and only using social media for work purposes. I’m actually also a business student 😊
"life needs space" that is so true, I was noticing how I was getting worse and worse in my head until I kinda pushed the break yesterday and took some time to meditate.
I loved the video and the thoughts behind it
So refreshingly different from other similar videos with this title. Thank you for giving us this gem. Much to think about.
“Don’t let the numbers fool you, there are something in life that you just can’t measure”🧡🧡
You did such an amazing job on this one! That was quite the adventure!
Foste um gajo porreiro em fazer esta viagem com ele :):):):):):)
Sempre tive vontade de fazer essa viagem
(espero que tenham parado no Cabo Sardão rsrsrsrsrsrs estou a brincar)
I thought u were the Salt Bae guy lol
Good for you. I removed social media apps off my phone a year ago. I have to manually log in on my laptop to use social media. My usage dropped by 80%. Refreshing.
Serious question though: what would happen if you didn't film any of it? Or what if you didn't plan on sharing any of it. What if you took the journey and kept it to yourself. And lived life just for yourself without making content for others. All serious questions. I don't think I could delete my social media for even a week - I'm not sure how I'd feel knowing no one was listening to me. Watching me. Judging me. Liking me. Following me. Unfollowing me. Just detaching completely. Love your content - your editing and footage are both beautifully done. Just food for thought.
Very good point but Nathaniel presents himself and his content in a way that everyone, ourselves and him are enriched by his videos, with the layout, depth and questions his videos go into. This isn’t just a trashy blog, and I think the fact that he filmed this motivates himself to do this and also inspires us to follow in his stead. Now it is a good thing to wonder if the filming is getting in the way of his learning, but he’s always seems to be getting a lot out of the things he shares with us.
TLDR: I do think that while usually the desire to document and record everything can prevent people from living in the moment, in Nathaniel’s case it’s motivation for him to enrich himself. PLUS he is keeping himself accountable to us
hEYYYY kATHYRN........
Whst I've started doing is spending 3wks a month off youtube and all social media, then spend 7days to use it every month. I like it so far, so I might continue like that.
i think i would write my feelings for myself
I'm going to quit everthing - even RUclips fot a month and gonna come back here. Wish me luck.
All the best💪
good luck! see you after a month!
Let us know how it goes! If you want to. Good luck!
When I had a flip phone because I needed a phone with me at all times for my business or lose money if I wasn't able to set appointments when people called, I used to watch people on their 'fancy phones' and think Wow, you are so unaware of what is happening around you. I did feel a bit superior because I wasn't caught up in the latest thing. Then I got a fancy phone. It is the first thing I reach for in the morning, the last thing I touch before sleep. Addicted to the latest political drama. I don't have or want social media. I do love it for information that is at your fingertips as I do rescue animals and research their medicines, etc. But, the political thing is out if control knowing thats exactly what they want. I even research the studies of how they addict you and the affects it has on your brain. Sometimes I leave my phone at work therefore I can't succumb to my desires. Anyway, now I am part if the masses tripping on sidewalk cracks, not hearing neighbors as they greet me with a hello from across yards, developing terrible posture always bent to the screen, etc. Great you did this video. Good for you. Hope a lot of us learn from it.
good luck fam, wish u all the best 🙏
“Social media feels like you are consuming empty carbs, you can never get enough”
For real, I think this resonated with me the most about how social media feels
This was 👏🏾👏🏾
Dude, the bit about the gap between pictures and nostalgia made me tear up a bit. It’s such a beautiful and striking thought. You are awesome and I hope I get to meet you someday in person! Thank you for all your incredible content.
Thrilled by the subject. I didn't expect for you to explore the idea of nostalgia through a social media detox. It felt relatable and reassuring to find out there are human beings in search of connection with their younger selves, to re-live specific moments from the past, to feel and perceive reality in a certain way, a way that seems untouchable in the present. I am so grateful. You are such a beautiful soul with a curious mind.
I quit social media as well , a few years ago. When I did, my brain felt alot clearer and I felt alot less stressed, I have tons more free time to do more productive things or to just sit and pray or meditate. Such a sense of freedom to be honest.. I also noticed how much everyone else has a phone (constantly) in their faces (even if their in a converstation, walking, working😂, etc)
I heard once that as humans we shouldn't need to know the details of hundreds of other people's lives...like this isn't normal. Disconnecting would strongly help with this!
Actually, for the vast majority of human history, we lived in small hunter-gatherer tribes of around 100 people where it was important to know the details of everyone's lives and understand the relationships between all those people. Maybe not hundreds of people but it was a still important factor
@@missengineer2782 no need to apologise! I see your point. Yes. The type of information that we learn is also important, as you said knowing what someone had for dinner is not as important as the vital information about their hunting ability etc. I just meant it in broader terms, gathering information about other people and the intricacies of their lives has actually been quite vital! apologies if I wasn't very clear, haha
@@missengineer2782 they seek likes because of their low self esteem, they need other people approval to be happy
when you get disconnected from other people you get connected with your self
@@missengineer2782 the quick gratification part is true and that's to build the attachment between the platform and user which will eventually evolve into ''fomo''.... (when you need something you became a slave for it.)
Definitely needs more of this kind of video on internet. The aesthetic, the “montage”, the thoughts ... amazing
very great video!
I love how all his videos are like little documentaries
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Explanation:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
(Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
deeds/works, but only by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
I think people need to see this, It’s almost like social media is a coping mechanism to get this false “escape” from real life
Literally what it is unfortunately
@@anthony7960 Sad but hopefully vids like this one can help people see that
yeah. also matt d'avella cited this in his last video on his youtube channel, i think you could be interested in it

Like the end of the first season of Mad Men, "Nostalgia in Greek means 'the pain from an old wound' , it's that twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone, it takes you back to a place where you ache to go again, a place where you know you are loved."
Glad to have you back buddy, nice to hear your month of detox did you some good. Wonderful job on this piece!
Love Johnny and Iz, so nice to see Johnny here in your video!
I wonder how much time it takes for you to produce a video like this one. It looks like a proper documentary, just a short one.
I love a bit of nostalgia too. Great for creativity
Amen to that
This really hits close to the heart. I feel like the ‘social dilemma’ you mention is such a pressing issue that a lot of people in their 20s right now are experiencing. We were, in a way, the last generation to experience life BEFORE social media truly took over. It’s scary to see how young and obsessed teens are these days and I hope that society starts taking steps backwards towards more traditional forms of communication (phone calls, postcards, long emails to friends) to help with mental health and wellness in the future.
Awesome video
You can clearly see this when you have siblings of the new generation 😔 the GAP not only in age but also life style and way of processing life.
I felt this! The documentary was so scary cause you see how real it actually is, with it's ability to seriously influence us and how big of a toll it takes on our mental health. I definitely feel the need for a detox and wonder if it might be a more regular thing to do to help reset in this digitalized century
I openly cringe when i see users admit that they're 10-12 online. Phone's and tablets replaced imagination and toys it seems.
Nathaniel, there is something in your videos that makes my heart feel something which is soo powerful that makes me do things in life.
Thank you for your piece!
When you emerged with that film camera I broke into a big smile!!There are so many things in life that are not reliant on metrics. Such a beautiful piece, Nathaniel. I hope you had a good break and continue to see the world through your own wonderful lens. Thank you for giving us all a glimpse 🥰💜
Beautiful video in so many ways. This was like a breath of fresh air, a thoughtful excursion, a gem to return to from time to time. Thanks Nathan 🧡 Also I resonate with your theory at the end...couldn't have said it better...
oh hello nahre!
love your music!
Oh shiz you watch Nathaniel too?!! Love your content by the way, I admire you a lot!
Nahre, you're like the Nathaniel Drew of music! :D
Nathan, this was a fucking masterpiece. I can’t even find the words. Just wow my man. Keep up the amazing work. Hands down my favorite RUclipsr.
1. What's the one thing you like most about the personal development niche?
2. What kind of videos would you like to see more on RUclips?
I'm doing a bit of research and I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you so much.
So many profound nuggets in this, you seem really clear headed and grounded!
I feel so identified with this in many ways. I love how Nathaniel is able to translate so many abstract thoughts into awesome words and display them in audiovisual content. This is very inspirational.
I'll take this quote with me: "Don't let the numbers fool you, there are some things in life that you just can't measure."
Thank you, Nathaniel!
Most people giving up social media: I will only be communicating by carrier pigeon
Nathaniel: **gets crapped on by a carrier pigeon**
I deleted all social medias for about 5 months now, feel more alive than ever before!
Same i've been 3 months without social media and it's pretty good
8 months here! :) good for you!!
@@francescaciabattini2952 That is a good point, I have to accept that I have the same issue.
In my defense, I’ve only seen educational material but still , I see too much in to little time which is bad because I’m learning nothing.
My solutions (in my case) will be:
•Erasing RUclips from my phone, first of all because I hate adds so much with all my core, and on Mozilla (pc) they don’t show up.
•Only using RUclips on my desktop pc. It makes an extra thought and effort to do so, which is good. It forces me to see RUclips only when is necessary.
•Limiting my RUclips consumption by, idk, two or one vid per day. If I see an essay or an interesting video, just news or whatever, I will try to analyze the info, maybe write it down if it’s necessary. Basically have record of what i have learned... seen many videos a day makes you think that we’ve learn when we can’t even remember a portion of it.
•Be smart about not getting overwhelmed with so much information.
I’ve done this before and it helps a lot, but I’m human and I’m week and stupid and I screw up coming back to RUclips. But I think you make me realize some things. I’ll try my best.
@@francescaciabattini2952same here, although i was using it for workouts and music alot, noe i just downloaded the main videos i needed
@@francescaciabattini2952 No problem, even i had the same issue as you. Instead of weaning off of social medias I filled the void with youtube. I think trplacement therapy helped me too, you will never stop using it if you have nothing else to do with your time. Get busy in things you enjoy. For me, that was writing, going for a daily run and boxing, and aiming for a higher GPA made me take my stufies more seriously. I still fail about 1 time per week lol, get sucked into the vortex of interesting videos and dont escape for a whole day. Its ok, i guess it will get better over time
I just love how excited, and thrilled you are about the journey of life through the lens of film ,our memories and the feelings we have with the world.
You have come back so much stronger! Love your pure energy!
I wasn't expecting the theme of "nostalgia" to come up sans social media, but I'm into it. Truly fascinating!
The magic of "not knowing" with film cameras is exhilarating. From the first "did you get that?" to the thrill of the first shuffle through the new developed photos stacks really takes me back to the golden age of disposable cameras.

deeds/works, but only by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
@@jesusisking3814 Good stuff!
I think what is convincing is knowing none of us are perfect.
Christ was perfect & offers eternal life to all who believe.
@@cinnamonoatmeal9998 Amen, glory to God!
@@jesusisking3814 ❤
I love that you take us on this journey so it feels like we're discovering it with you. Thanks for another incredible video!
This is so beautiful. I'm really excited about the space you gave yourself, and the realizations, and stillness and everything it gave you. As always, thank you so much for sharing!!
You may be the best youtuber i've ever seen. I really feel lucky cause i've discovered this absoulte gem of a channel. After watching your videos i feel like you care more for me (and the rest of audience) than most of my friends.
U r definitely not alone and I definitely agree with what u said there
Same here!!
"Life is blurry", that's such a relieving sentence to hear when you are a *bit* of a control freak :) I just exhaled pleasently
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Explanation:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
(Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
deeds/works, but only by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.

Brilliant as usual. As insightful as ever.
This video was exactly what I needed. You put everything I've been feeling into words. Beautiful content.
Quitting social media always makes me very calm - kinda nice ;D
"It felt like the behaviour of an addict- it felt like consuming empty carbs." While I'm sitting here MURDERING a ginormous plate of pasta and scrolling on Facebook. You didn't have to attack me like that Nate. I have a thick skin but don't you dare come for my spaghetti.
It's great to see that you're feeling better, you truly radiate joy and enthusiasm in this video! I am currently in quarantine for two weeks, seems like the perfect time to disconnect as well. Thank you for all the inspiration and food for thought!
"we all have the opportunity to examine ourselves...." it was interesting to see your one week update and realize how much of a distraction social media can be. The attention, validation from other people... its a lot. thank you for doing this video and being so truthful about the topic that others may shy away from. Also really made me think about re-activating that "kid" in me again.
Ok that’s it, I’m off social media for at least a month. Here we go. I’ll be back on December 16th ✌️
YES YOU LEGEND
*Once it’s a habit, it might not be that obvious that we are actually addicted to it* 🙏
This was great! Keep up the great work! Thanks for the inspiration!
This video is INCREDIBLE!!!! Great job!
I haven’t been to Lisbon, my hometown, for over a year now. Thank you for me making feel home again, obrigado!
The transitions, SFX, storytelling, camera work are all so CLEAN.
Another great video man
The edit is insane! Keep the contents coming. Been watching the other videos. The insights, just wow.
you’ve inspired me to start my own self development journey i love your videos and the way your mind works!
talking of nostalgia while travelling Portugal... Cliché and yet so beautiful
"There are some things in life you just can't measure."
Ahh, I was just having a conversation with someone about what makes one extraordinary. I believe that somethings are immeasurable, but my friend believed it had to do with the numbers.
Friend ... what you are talking about I very much agree ... When you talk about the gaps between analog photos, you touched a sensitive nerve, we are very disconnected ... I am born in 1988, and those things were part of my life, things took more time, family trips were with a map, and free times were filled with beautiful things ...
Thank you. Beautiful experiment.
Let's go back to when time made sense.
Greetings from Chile
I love the way you explain this so eloquently and how beautifully you edited this video. ♥️ I’ve been wanting to try to get of social media for a week and I keep failing, this video has come in perfect timing for me, so thank you for that!
It's crazy how a few years' age difference changes how people interact with 'analog' technology.
I've just turned 30, but I would never have thought of picking up a physical copy of a book as something alternative or nostalgic or even 'analog' at all... but it certainly seems to be the case for people in the 18-24 range.
Fascinating and terrifying the impact digital technology and its quick ubiquity have had on a generation just a few years younger than myself.
Yes, that’s a great point. I love his enthusiasm for the things I was just recently thinking of getting rid of, and replacing with digital versions!
This honestly feels like reconnecting with a long lost friend. Thank you, Nathan.
This video was amazing, indeed.
this video is everything!! the editing, the music, the central theme... soooo good! thank you for this:)
My heart is always so full after watching your videos. Thank you for being you!
It’s funny how I also quit social media a couple of months ago, and when you said “I just don’t need to know what my friends are doing all the time”, man, I feel that! We just don’t need to know everything all the time! Unless the things that are really important to us.
I felt a drastic change of how I view how to fill my day. All those free times spent mindlessly scrolling were changed to looking how I could utilize the time productively and I started to want to write again. Not writing because I had to achieve a b c goals but just because I was inspired, I had an imagination and I want to write it down. My thoughts were starting to come back to me. Words were filling my head like it hadn’t a few years recently since we’re too caught up in mindless use of our internet.
I strongly recommend doing this to other people who want to remember what it’s like to dream freely again. ✨✨
Beautifully said!
Wow this is so nice
I CAME RUNNING!
Love from Brazil to you, Nathan!
Glad to see you back! This is such a great video!
This resonated on so many levels. I think many of us are going through similar spaces during this time and it’s awesome to see the ideas be presented in such a beautiful and poetic manner. Thanks for this video!!

Distractions (especially from social media) enforce on you a distorted reality. You embrace fantasies more than you do the actual world around you. This is an issue, for you lose appreciation for everything that should matter and it might be just in front of your eyes.
The way you describe these feelings is so accurate and beautiful, and the visuals are absolutely out of this world. I'm about to disappear from social media byeeee
I’ve been off social media for almost a year. I’m loving it seriously if you are thinking about it DO IT! Don’t be a sheep! 🐑 Stand out in the crowd! Inspire others to do the same!
If you decide to get off social media, reply to this comment. 🥰💓
I'm planning on doing the exact same thing. I'm really scared of boredom nowadays, kind of ironic as i'm always bored while mindlessly surfing.
Masterpiece
Great to see Johnny and you together on this one!
Loved your headshot frame with books all over.
Amazing video. Really enjoyed seeing your film shots. Cheers, Nathan! Always a pleasure watching.
Welcome back 💫Soooo amazing not even video, almost movie! Just adore how you highlighted each detail!
Oh the cinematic shots and the transitions!! So inspiring! Love this.
This is phenomenal mate.
The message, the delivery, the editing - everything just pitch perfect.
An inspirational piece of work. Thank you.
This is pure joy. Pure and absolute joy to the mind. Thanks for sharing, Nathaniel.
Omg this guy...
I am a huge fan of your videos Nathaniel! ❤ I binge them all the time and after each one I feel so inspired to try new things and work hard. Thank you, you are a huge inspiration to me and many others.
I’m starting to realize how we really need space.. in the last two months I accomplished so much just bcuz I decided I wanted to focus on myself without having to post updates on my SM.. and the feeling is liberating to say the least. Thanx for sharing your experience and thoughts.
0:30
That transition tho!! Your editing skills are fantastic!
Bro you’re actaully insane. The editing and the quality of your videos blow my mind. I love how you get across an amazing message while at the same time have super high quality videos in the background
WOW! I resonate so much with this, thanks for sharing your story!
I gotta be honest that, for a month, I missed that spark of inspiration that I receive every time your name pops up in the Notification box (hello mentor!). But this video made me extremely happy seeing what you achieved/experienced. So happy for you dude!
Also took me back to places and memories of past; and the first film camera I owned as a child (not a pro one, of course.)
Greetings :)
I am gonna try this. 1 like is equal to 1 day of not using social media.

Uninstall your phone
Good luck !
365 likes, you're going to have a great 2021 ^^ good luck bro
Nostalgia for me is the quite moments that seem to never be documented but are the small stories that bring the best feelings; and are like magic encompassing smell and feeling of that moment, that almost seem quiet in your mind to obols be revised again and again.
Great content mate! Great to see you loved Portugal. Hope you comeback one day
