Okay honestly..what’s your biggest nostalgia moment? Like the one that always pops up in your head?
Either a meaningful one or even better, one of those memories where it feels like, “Why do I even keep thinking about this so much? It seems fully irrelevant.”
I know it’s kinda corny when RUclipsrs do comment prompts because it’s like “Dude are you even gonna read this? I know you’re just out here spending your money and ignoring me.” But I’m genuinely curious because I kinda love reading people’s super specific memories that have stuck with them for whatever reason.
Anyway I’ve been reading through these comments and i can’t even convey how meaningful it is for me to be able to make videos again recently and see people resonating with what I’m saying. Especially stuff that I thought was too specific to even mention. I get so stressed over making RUclips videos and want it to be perfect so badly and obsess so much but when someone says it made their day better or something and it seems like they mean it I literally go “Aw” out loud at my computer and feel less alone myself. I read so much of it even when I don’t reply. It’s always been hard for me in life to feel heard or connected to people but sometimes this does it, maybe that’s unhealthy or “parasocial” or whatever but it feels nice sometimes. I feel like it’s my purpose on earth, corny but I’ve been feeling that lately again. Who knows IDK
Drew, when you started posted again, it made me so incredibly happy. I remember watching an old video of yours called “heartbreak” years ago, and resonating so deeply with what you said and how you described the feelings that accompany heartbreak.
You make everyone laugh and have the best sense of humor Drew!! Your videos are also helpful for my depression. Sorry this is all over the place i havent slept yet. Gn :)
Oh shit i didnt think of a nostalgia moment hmm. Hold on!
Sorry way too tired to even remember what I’m talking about rn but ill be back dawg
When I was a kid, a very long time ago my sweet little Rockwellian town had a Main Street with everything on it, and there I was with a Hi-C juice box full of Ecto cooler visiting the old couple who had a teddy bear store, then I’m grabbing a burger and fries at the counter of the BEST little hamburger joint in America, followed by a pop in to the bakery where a yellow smiley face cookie was waiting for me…all the way to the library, where I got my arm stuck in the drop box because I had to return things lest I get a fine but the second the dark crystal slipped from my fingers I remembered I $500 from my grandma in the crevasse.
So there I stood, clinging while a mom in a minivan comes up, inquires and I fibbed, I LIED my way through the exchange but little did I know she was headed two doors down to the police who came and greased me up, extracted me and took me home to my mom who had no idea I was even gone for SIX hours, four of which were attached to the library wall.
I’m an only child…she had no clue and said “she’s just really quiet, she’s also really independent, it’s a safe town” they agreed and let it all go.
How surreal, and oddly maybe the best memory from my childhood because it hits all the high notes, my sweet town, my childhood home that I can still smell…I can taste the cheese from that burger on that wax paper.
I weep over this time weekly.
Also, I’m 43, she/her.
I’m late GenX but relate more to millennials.
Actually, I relate to GenZ quite a bit.
Am I immature?
No.
Childlike is not the same as childish.
I am a nurse becoming a teacher because midlife nostalgia is super agonizing.
I can’t get over garbage pail kids and bike riding through alleyways, things always look better in the rear view mirror.
Also, thank you Drew. Even if you don’t understand how someone in their forties can relate to you you’ll find out one day that time is immensely short and how you feel right now won’t ever change.
nobody has commented on the little secret I hid in the video yet :( im honestly done. like why do I even have a camera
Im jk. this is a safe space for me to joke around, and humor is therapeutic for me tbh so its wild to me that everyone is jumping all over me for having fun. jk again. I hope you liked this text content.

@@mytoecold lol 😂 THIS IS A SAFE PLACE FOR ALL OF US! lol sadly, 🤦♀️ lol 😂
Drew you’re so artistic! you should make videos of you doing more art because I like it would be fun to art with you. K byeeee
This is the most relatable video ive ever watched IN MY LIFE
Also - you are nostalgia for me, you remind me of the 'old youtube', like the good old days... that's why I always come back to watch you 👼
Fr
so I'm guessing you've never seen David after dentist then.
The most relatable comment I have ever read.
Same. I love these videos, they are very special to me and unlike any other videos I watch on this godforsaken website. With these vids, I'm like a little raccoon who finds an apple or smth and grabs it with its freaky little raccoon hands, dips it in some water and scurries away into its little trashcan home to enjoy it.
"Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses. Second only to the neck" - Dwight Schrute
This video actually smart. When he said that we missed our past because it feels like movie and not a real life situation my mind was literally blown. You are way smarter then you think drew! Your videos always make me feel better
it's nice to hear someone articulate how nostalgia can be sometimes viscerally painful. cause i often feel like people don't get what i mean when i talk about that feeling. hope you're doing well drew! :)
I relate to what he said 100%. Ive been obsessed with the past because it's how I cope I guess. For some reason the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 in my mind are so nostalgic and sweet. I wish I could go back to that time. Not only because I was just a young teenager but I just miss that time in general. But I have to keep telling myself if I spend all my time dwelling on the past then how can I enjoy the present? The present will soon become the past so I have to enjoy it. It is indeed very painful.
I hope you are too I think your name is actually pretty cool
@@skyedots wow I can relate so heavily to everything you said!! the same exact thing is happening to me except the years for me are 2008,2009,2010,2011. Those were the years when I was in middle school and I have such an attachment to those memories. I just remember being such a carefree, happy preteen surrender by a close group of friends. I think one of the reasons im so stuck in that time is because when I view myself now I realize im no longer that happy carefree person I was and it hurts so bad because I just crave to be that again. I crave to be back to a time we’re I didn’t have depression, severe anxiety and the pressure of being an adult. 😞
@@mytoecold thank you! i picked it myself :)
This is how I am about nostalgia. I think about the past, the good times so much. I get sad over it. Those were the best years when there was so much less stress and my mental health was amazingish. Now 😔
Not that he’ll see this probably but even the first few seconds of watching a new Drew video (and even an old Drew video) just automatically makes so many peoples day better, feels like a phone call with an old friend. Ty Drew :)
This is your grandma. Good video, Drew!
I've tried to put this into words for years. Thank you.
@@dorothygriggs315 Also Hi Grandma 🥰
Kate I saw it. but only because you went viral and are now the top comment/newfound fellow celeb. congrats this will be soo hard and confusing for a bit but I know you'll pull through
@@dorothygriggs315 nu-uh
I'm 62 and just discovered you. I went and watched many of your videos, from the first to the most recent. I love them. Extreme nostalgia washes over me when I put my feet up on a wall. I recall the time I was hyperaware of my feet on the wall of the bedroom my sister and I shared. I was lying in my twin bed after school when I was in second or third grade-how much I loved how it physically felt, my feet on the wall, my back on the bed-and at the same time I realized my parents were aliens, then realized they were not, then knew that they would someday die. I cried a couple of silent tears. I had been reading a book in which some entity was in a tree. This entity had been wandering around the town. It might have been Harold, but I think it was a more advanced book than the purple crayon.
It’s so comforting knowing someone else feels the same way I do about nostalgia. I think about being 14-15 daily because it was an easier, more fun time and I have so many fond memories of those years.
I’m fully aware that not all of it was great, but I frequently think about how I wish I didn’t have the responsibilities I have now and that my friends didn’t move hours away where I can’t see them every weekend.
Even though thinking about the good, fun times I had years ago makes me sad because they’re gone, it still gives me a brief moment of warmth and comfort.
Whenever I think abt that I try to think abt how excited I was to be an adult and try and romantise adult life again ig
me but with ages 3-12 which is a large range but i stg those first years of consciousness were my peak
I don’t even know how to say this. Listening to Drew talk actually feels like someone is speaking my mind. His thoughts make so much sense to me. I wish I had someone like him to text at 4 am
Drew' video feels like how my minds operate at 3am 😭😂
I relate to everything he says. Just two days ago I had a breakdown because of basically what he said about nostalgia. I cried to myself over the fact that the past is gone and you can't do anything about it. Time goes by and it will never be the same again. I legit had a breakdown over this. I even relate to what he said about being nostalgic for last year. Its nuts but I somehow miss it? I miss not having to do anything because we all had to be inside. Even the weirdest things he says Im like Yes. Yes thats true LMAO
@@skyedots yesss. I need a group text for People Who Think Like Drew
@@theoutsiderjess4869 right??? He’s reading my literal brain waves
@@hospitalgal101 YES omg there should be an insta group chat 💀😂
When I was in college I didn’t have any friends, and my home life was really difficult. When I’d get done with my classes I wouldn’t want to go home (commuter lol) and I didn’t have any friends I could go to, so I’d just sit on the hood of my car in my college parking deck and watch the sunset. It’s so strange bc at the time I felt so unbearably lonely, but now I feel so deeply nostalgic for it. Like just the memory of it feels so peaceful and bittersweet
I have never related to something so much. Just finished college at what I thought would be a large school, but had a large makeup of commuter students and although I constantly felt lonely and isolated, it’s weird how the brain has a way of making the experience nostalgic, making those small moments of happiness seem much larger than they were!
It’s so important to appreciate the good and bad moments. I’m 10 years, we’ll all be wishing for it to be 2022 again, where we’re as young as we were now 🥲
not sure if this is even a good thing for you to hear or if it'll be comforting or anything but you are exactly what my brain sounds like all of the time and it's very nice for ME to have someone who seems to operate the same way as my permanently overthinking anxious self so
I think you're the only youtuber I can watch that just talks. It's usually boring for most people but you actually say real things. You don't just talk about your highlights, but your struggles too. And not in a cringy attention seeking way. I feel like you're just living life questioning everything. And I love it. I'm here for it.
It makes me feel more normal when he talks about his strangely specific but very relatable struggles
You summed him up perfectly!
I’m 25 so your nostalgia meditation worked on me
27 here and it worked 100%
30 and worked 90% 🙃
I’m also 25 and me too I have the same memory
omg hi queen 🌝
I hope Drew knows how genuinely special he is. I’ve never met someone with a similar situation energy, he’s the only person on the planet that I would listen to ramble for my own amusement and one of the only content creators I watch because I want to and not because I want to distract myself. I feel like I’m in a safe space when I watch him.
He's literally the only person I watch who I actually slow the playback speed instead of speeding it up.. I don't wanna miss anything lol
facts
I love how you don’t just tell me about your anxiety but literally SHOW me in your thought process out loud. I can really relate and it sooths me.
Thing is Drew knows but doesn't realize that the content he's putting out is beyond relatable and comforting which is how his anxiety is manifesting. I want nothing more than an endless supply of these videos (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) but I do NOT want you to feel stressed or pressured to constantly make them
This. Amen 🙏🏼
I feel like you’re verbalising what it’s like to be an overthinker and I love it, you bring a whole new entertainment level to RUclips in such a relatable, timeless way.
absolutely agree
I feel like everyone has these thoughts tbh
He goes so much in depth and everything is accurate while making it funny
My nostalgia moment is sometimes the way the air felt and smelled walking to class in college. The feeling of starting something for the first time and being nervous but excited. I can definitely relate to how nostalgia romanticizes the past. It’s like logically I know that time wasn’t perfect and there was so much shit going on, but there’s some innocence in the past that feels sweet. Also drew- you’re naturally funny snd entertaining, even when you’re being wistful and vulnerable with your feelings. Don’t be so hard on yourself when uploading stuff like this because your audience loves you no matter what you post :)
That is so weird- I was legitimately about to comment the exact same thing. I remember being in college, especially in 2015 during my freshman year, and there was something about the smells and the sounds when walking to class- especially in the spring- that I remember so vividly. I went to a relatively large university, so the moments I remember most are the ones where there weren’t many people at all walking to class, so it felt like I was alone, almost. My college days were both the best and worst of times, honestly, but now that I’m graduated, working, and about to get married and have my first child, this is the kind of thing I think about. What a beautiful topic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
honestly felt the "forgiving people temporarily" thing.
there's a person who's out of my life and i KNOW who hurt me. even if it wasn't of malicious intent, they did. and i find myself, depending on my day and how i'm feeling, forgiving them-or feeling an intense rage. when i forgive, i feel nostalgic of good times and long for closure. but when it's the opposite, all i can do is scrape and claw for answers. why couldn't it have been different?
tends to feed the fire of my self hatred in a way, using it as a "you must've deserved it" excuse despite knowing, logically, i didn't.
i don't know. i hate having a heart that sees everyone as people. as much of a blessing that it is, it helps me empathize so much easier, (maybe even too much,) i hate how it's hard for me to completely antagonize the ones that wrong me. again, it does tie into that little voice in my head that hates my guts, but moreso it's just irritating. goddamn it why do i care so much about everyone and why do i wish them all a good life??
not sure what i'm really trying to explain here. i call myself pessimistic, but maybe i'm more optimistic outwardly than i realize.
I feel that so much.
It's like that for me with every person who hurt me
Some days I am actually able to forgive them wish them well and think like wow now the bad feeling is finally gone and then one week later I get reminded of it and feel RAGE
And then I notice I'm STILL not over it and it sucks
Like what do I need to tell myself to finally free myself from that
Wow I didn’t know anyone else felt this way. As a people pleaser with abandonment issues and anxiety, this is now what I realize to be a recurring thing in my life. Narcissists and people pleasers often gravitate towards each other…. Unfortunately.
Do not hate your heart, we need more love, compassion and empathy in this world. It is not your fault that other people take advantage of you
@@stlowcl exactly!! it's like.. i'm over it. i know i'm better off now, and it's clear to me why it has to be this way-but there's still such a feeling of.. longing? wishing for closure? it's infuriating
@@LyaJen totally understand as i have abandonment issues n anxiety as well.. i really do love how i am and the compassion i feel, it's just frustrating at times. wish more people were like this 💜
@@starlitcentaur yes!!! I really hope thah we can overcome this
maybe it takes more time
Ever since hitting 25, my nostalgia has been unbearable. And it's exactly like you said, I'm nostalgic for LAST YEAR when i was...working the worst job ever? miserable? sitting on my couch? LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME. But you just made me feel a little bit normal. Thank you!
Also, that nostalgia moment...I could actually SEE my hand-me-down Geox sneakers kicking the gravel below me as I finished out my 14 minute mile. Thank you for that memory. All american rejects 5ever bby
OMG SAME im so nostalgic for March 2020 because it was the last time anything happened in my life (corona). Like, sometimes I catch myself being nostalgic for when I was in class and everyone was talking about covid and about if we would have class the next week. THAT was the last exciting thing that happened in my life. my life is shitttt

As a 31 year old, I also recall being around 25 and having intense almost crippling bouts of nostalgia for my younger years. I think your mid 20s are a big time of change. As you learn to grow up, friendships start to take on new forms and it can be hard to accept. It’s not that I never have those moments of nostalgia anymore, but I think with time I have grown to really love a lot of things about the way things have changed and feel way more at peace about it now.
Just wanted to share for any other confused mid 20 year olds because i know it can be scary, but it can also get a whole lot better ❤️
Thanks for the video Drew!
I needed to hear this today, thank you.
I appreciate this.
thank you for this!. im 20 and i already HATE IT 😭 but this is giving me hope!
I just turned 31 on Thanksgiving this year 😂 I remember feeling the same way. I remember being sooooo depressed about missing my childhood actually. Idk how old I was, It was probably in my early 20s. I still miss it at times, especially if something reminds me of my childhood or I have a dream about my past and I'll sort of miss it. But now that I'm older I don't ever get really depressed about it like I did in my 20s.. I think it has alot to do with settling in, getting used to the responsibility and life not being so new and scary like it was before. And I really enjoy being a mother and watching my child grow. Next time I'm sure it'll be me very depressed about missing my childs childhood. Or the years when I had good health (when I'm way older). I think your right about the mid 20 thing but I have a feeling it happens more than once In your life. Especially when your children grow up.
YOU DESCRIBED EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN FEELING LATELY, LIKE IT’S INSANE HOW ACCURATELY YOU’VE EXPLAINED MY THOUGHTS
Hits hard.. this past year has been hell. My anxiety skyrocketed. My depression hit an ATL. My big thing with nostalgia right now is I don't remember my childhood but I've been regaining memories this past year. Thanks for the laughs.
Honestly, inducing belly laughs isn’t the only thing that indicates that something is funny. This whole video is funny because it’s relatable and viewers are pleasantly surprised that someone out there can be spot on about articulating this specific type of nostalgia. Like you are here talking about your own experience, but people leave after this video and just start reviewing their own nostalgic feelings for the rest of the day and maybe before they fall asleep at night and that’s a gift that you’ve given us.
it’s so funny that this video is about nostalgia because ever since i found drew in like 2009 when i was like 7, i’ve watched him nearly every week (especially during the height of the pandemic when i felt like i needed a friend) and seeing drew is always very nostalgic to me, while still feeling ever present and always relevant to me and where i am in my life by being able to grow up with him. he is such a light in so many people’s lives. i love you very much drew!

You described it perfectly, I feel heartbroken I can’t relive the past.
Christmas time especially makes me super nostalgic. I just remember the feeling of Christmas time as a kid and as an adult it can feel like you’ll never have that same type of feeling.
I'm not that old but I can remember the year when the Christmas magic was gone and it was devastating
Drew I’m a 40 year old mom of two grown men and about to have my first granddaughter but like it or not I’m still going to watch your videos lol. My sons and I have watched you since you were like 19 and we absolutely adore you. You’ve helped me especially because I have crippling depression and you have seriously been someone I could relate to. Thank you for that and God bless
Depression disguised as nostalgia is such a great description of what I’ve been feeling for a long time now.
A wise young woman once said, there is no such thing as going “back” to normal. There are only new normals. Don’t live like we are back to normal. Live for your new reality to get the most out of it. Xoxo
I relate to this so much, honestly so glad I’m not the only one that’s been feeling this intense nostalgia. it’s incredibly hard but like you said we have to keep reminding ourselves to live in the present moment, no matter how cliche that sounds lol. so much love to you Drew ❤️
I can say with honesty that Drew is the Aristotle of our generation
Drew is genuinely the only person I can listen to rambling on for hours and I still manage to understand and process everything he’s saying
right!! likeee i’ve been watching him for 6 years and i never once was not fully engaged watching his videos .. i luv him
Once again i'm having nostalgia for all the other times i have watched your videos by myself (not lonely just alone), and subsequently felt so seen. Thanks for being there and being yourself and being relatable
I can’t believe how much I was able to relate to this video. I obsess over the nostalgia I feel and am always thinking about the past, when things were better. Hell, I even have playlists on Spotify of music I’d listen to during those times. I always thought nobody would understand me if I tried to put that into words lol??? Anyways, I’m glad you’re uploading
I feel like once you turn 25 the nostalgia just goes into overdrive. Can’t imagine what I’ll feel like at 50. Oh god.
I think you start leveling out a little around 40, if you work on being happy with yourself. lol
For me, it eased off in my late 30s, when I made some drastic life changes for the better. Looking back, I think the nostalgia was so strong because I was pretty unhappy in my "present day" life at the time. Since improving my life, the overwhelming yearning for the past has completely gone away.
I started feeling nostalgic at 13, and it's just gotten worse. :/
It's fine. it's not that bad.
“that’s not even nostalgia that’s just depression” jesus drew
Nostalgia is my passion also. Thank you for this. You are still my favorite channel on RUclips after so long, I love your humor. Thanks for being so real with us
Your videos are so refreshing, I love how high speed and consistent your jokes are
This is too relatable Drew! I honestly live in the past to the point where it's actually unhealthy.. I have even gone as far as buying things that I remember from the past or if I'm unable to do that, look at pictures of them on Google. All in a desperate attempt to relive those moments again even for just a second but it never quite scratches the itch. It's almost like an addiction, needing to smell a smell that you remember or to hold something that you remember or going back to visit specific places that you remember etc. Then when you realize that those moments are gone forever and they will never happen again it is genuinely heartbreaking. This is the longest comment I've ever written but I had to lol! Just know you're not alone in feeling this way Drew! :)
Just a suggestion. But maybe it's more of a problem with change than it is an addiction. But I could be totally wrong, I don't know anything about you. Or maybe you are looking for a certain feeling like someone with addiction looks for. Is that what you meant? I have a totally different issue where I can't let anything go from my childhood because I'm worried I will regret it and miss it. But I don't have that problem with new stuff. Every once in awhile I go through my old stuff that I still have, (like look at it, read stuff I used to write ect) it's like looking at old pictures to me. I don't know what to call it but it's usually a certain mood that I'm in that causes me to want to do it. (I keep it all in totes that are in a closet). So maybe it's not a "hard time with change" thing like I suggested actually. Idk what it is. It's probably more like looking at old pictures type of thing, exept with stuff instead of pictures.
I'm the same!! I always look up old toys I used to play with and just look at photos of them
You just made me feel so much less alone. You're not alone, what so ever. We're all just a super messy family over here and I love every single one of you so much.
I can relate to this comment sooo much, it hurts.
Oh my god me too. I was tempted to buy a Tamagotchi or even the cologne I gave my high school ex-boyfriend.
I literally could be going through the most traumatic, depressive, anxiety-ridden month of my life and would look back at it in a year and be like, hmmm take me back.
Aw hell naw bruh u trippin

Im so genuinely happy your doing okay. Im glad to see you posting more it’s literally nostalgic remembering back whenever you used to do it when i was 17 now im 25
You genuinely spoke all of the words that were in my brain itching to come out. So glad you’ve made a video Drew!
Drew explains my thoughts so well that i don’t know if he is a real person or just a coping mechanism my mind created
I started using a thyme-smelling face wash, the acne-free Mario Badescu wash to be exact; and realized that my preschool smelled similar, they probably used an essential oils cleaning solution or something. When I smelt it I immediately felt comforted and loved like a little kid again. It was so cool. I use the face wash all the time now lol.
This is so sweet
your videos sing to my silly bipolar heart
"it's moving like it's a ghost.... im just shaking" drew you are a beacon of comforting humour to a fellow person on a billion mental health meds lol
i have been having that feeling when you mentioned the walgreens of “nostalgia for now” a lot lately. i’m a barista at a really cute coffee shop and was just telling my coworker “isn’t it weird to think that for the rest of my life, when people ask me about my twenties i will say ‘when i was young and in school before i had a career i used to work in this coffee shop and it was so much fun. i didn’t realize how nice my life was then’” idk that is also specific but i completely relate to what you’re saying
god i get this, this is how i feel too when im in the middle of some random mundane task, like wow imagine someday when i tell people about this theyll be like wow you were once a normal person?? kinda nice n weird
Wait oh my god what you're describing is exactly what I have been experiencing for the past year. I have been reminiscing about my high school years and the nostalgia is so warm and fuzzy. What you're describing resonated and I haven't heard anyone ever talk about it. Thank you.
I love hearing Drew talk in such a mentally healthy way. It’s like he went through a dark tunnel and made it out the other side. ❤️
Drews humour is top tier no one can convince me otherwise 💀
I have been trying for the last couple days to derail a major splitting/negative episode that was consuming me and everything I love, spurred on actually by me "missing" two years ago and feeling like right now is just insurmountable. I needed to see and hear all of this it really helped I can't explain it I always feel different after a Drew video
Your videos are so relatable. This year I’ve felt so much nostalgia. Like literally alllll the time
Drew has such an amazing way of conveying such big, meaningful, and very relatable feelings in a way that is actually easy to digest. Like I think I’m watching a fun silly video but every single time I end up thinking “wow this is exactly how I’ve been feeling”
i knoww right
Yessss I feel the same way but couldn't put it into the right words to express how I feel about his content. You said it perfectly though.
An issue I'm having is feeling like time is moving too fast. I turned 28 this year and while I'm looking forward to my 30s, I feel like I didn't fully experience the past few years, and it makes me a little sad. I think that's normal with aging, but the pandemic definitely made that worse.
I'm around the same age and feel about the same minus looking forward to my 30's lol I feel like my last chances at enjoying my 20's was/is stolen from me. I always say I'm too young to feel this old.
Yes so relatable! I’m also terrified of ageing yet so terrified I’m not properly enjoying my youth there are so many emotions and epiphanies too it’s like a roller coaster being in your 20s lol
I'm 23 and I feel like my youth was robbed from me lol. I'm living with my parents right now, I don't have anything figured out yet, and I think I'm about to end my 4 year relationship. I guess I'm trying to say I'm also sad for what my life used to be... we're all together in that feeling.
The nostalgia part was so relatable. I find myself longing for the past, even though in those moments I was pretty miserable. Younger me would’ve loved who I am today, but I still can’t seem to shake the desire for the past. I attribute some of it to losing the freedom and lack of responsibility that comes with childhood. Now life is so heavy with work, and chores, financial, and family and other adult responsibilities. I long to be stress free
I remember watching your vids every weekend after school, I’m glad you’re back on youtube 💜
Does anyone else use nostalgia to romanticize their life? It’s something I’ve noticed I do and it honestly feels great
how do you do this? i always just get sad or pretend i'm still there :')
I think you can use nostalgia to over-value a memory and applaud its significance in your life. And just be like "wow I was a part of that, I am the main character for having these sexy life experiences" or "wow things were so much better then - I am part of the superior generation for participating in that shared experience"
Or you can use nostalgia to romanticize sadness or pain that had a purpose or was associated with a person or project you love. Like applauding your own strong devotion to someone for the infrequent highs it gave you. Or like missing a time you were so sad because you were also working so hard & earning more money then. Stuff like that
Or in 15:06 timestamp, Drew speaks about imagining how a current moment will become nostalgic to others or yourself in a few decades with anesthetics & the state of technology & lifestyle
@@allyson-- wow that was very well written. thank you that makes sense
god i feel the nostalgia/depression mix thing so hard. im also 26 & i feel like the pandemic worsened it because time feels like it paused but also didn't pause at all?? so i feel like i'm super behind on life and a lot of time was just dumped into the void?? yeah anyway good video thanks drew
Oh my god same. I'm 27 and I feel like I'm still supposed to be 25 and but also like 33 at the same time.
this is weirdly a comment I could have easily left :o I feel the exact same wayyy and I am 26 too lol. Anyways I just wanted to share that I feel the same and your comment stuck out to me
SAME. We should start a support group
THIS! Or like you’re just waiting for things to go back to normal but time is still passing so all of a sudden it’s like “wow it’s already almost 2022”
okay but how did u know i needed this at this exact time. i feel like no one has ever talked about this and it made me feel crazy and alone , but this made me feel so much better.
ive been binging solely your 2nd channel videos and patreon content. Its a lil overwhelming coming onto a main channel video now cuz theres so much energy I cant handle it
Counselor here! Staying in the present is a very real way to keep yourself moving forward. It's called "mindfulness" and there are actually several things you can do to help yourself stay in the present if you feel yourself getting pulled into the past OR if you're having an anxiety attack. Try "grounding" where you name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. See if it works for you! I'm always rooting for you, Drew!
Also this video described a really specific feeling I've been having for a really long time and it was the most comforting thing
means a lot im so glad
this is so relatable. i really have nostalgia every day
I enjoy all of your different outro songs Drew, but this one had such good vibes today, I'm going to feel nostalgic about hearing it in the next few months.
As a 27 year old I definitely relate to the weirdness of not relating to millennials or Gen z. It really adds to the uncomfortable sense of not belonging anywhere, so that’s fun. Also I knew what you were going to say about super glue before you even said it because even that was so damn relatable.
I'm 26 but I mostly relate to millennials, aren't we millenials anyway?
@@Anna13Tonks 94 or 95 is the cut off for being a millennial so we are legit on the cusp. I dont really identify with either group and I was so glad to hear someone else talk about it cause I didn't know how to put the feeling into words.
27 is grown... Sadly time to grow up now :) shoulda grown up a little while ago but it's ok... Better late than never xoxo
@@starr613 you’re obviously very young
@@sallyenglish5929 you're obviously very quirky n a pick me girl :)
Drew, I’m such a nostalgic person I feel you.
your song at the end is so good! I love it!!
i tried watching this when u uploaded it but couldnt sit through it. im now watching it all the way through and it applies so well to how i was feeling recently. i sometimes listen to music that i loved years ago, and think about how awful things were at the time, but i still miss it. nostalgia is a big silly liar
it doesn't get more derranged than being nostalgic for 2020 I feel you king
i thought u were me bc salem is my discord username lmao
Nothing makes me more happy than when I get a notification that Drew posted
I love your profile pic 💀
I have trouble constantly ruminating on the past and worried about the future, this video honestly helps put things into perspective and it’s nice to hear I’m not alone. These videos of you just speaking your mind are honestly very relatable and more knowledge than you think. Don’t listen to the hate there’s so many of us that live for these videos! Love you Drew :)
drew makes me feel so much less alone in this world. seeing these videos pop up in my feed is the highlight of my day. was having a rough day today and this video made me smile for the first time in a while. thank you for being so genuine with your audience drew we love you❤️🩹
I didn’t know anyone else has that euphoric love feeling. Every drew video is like a healing therapy session
you are really great at explaining your thoughts and feelings with analogies. i struggle with words a lot to the point where it doesn't even feel worth it to explain myself, but you just word everything so perfectly
us
You said so many things in this video that is exactly how I've been feeling ! I'm 24 and have been following you for years. I totally feel not fitting into Millennials or Gen Z. 24 has been one of the weirdest years of my life. I've been going through the same kinda Nostalgia flashbacks and the feeling that everything was better back then. It's such a strong feeling and it does make me depressed a lot of the time. I just want to say you aren't alone Drew, Also thank you for always being your genuine self after all these years ♥️🖤♥️🖤
literally every time how do u just know to sing a song about being lonely how did u know that i feel lonely drew. ily. im addicted to nostalgia too btw even for times where it wasn't all that great or extraordinary but i miss old routines and small subtleties of the past.
Honestly we stan the Timmy Turner vibes you're giving off in this video
oh my GOD no please :( don't make this a thing. this shouldn't;t have happened to m e
I have never related to anyone like I relate to you Drew. And yes I have a huge problem with nostalgia. I'll be nostalgic for times in my life where I was sad and depressed and be like "I wish I could go back to that moment and be happy" ... I hope other people can relate to this.
I can. My nostalgia hurts but it isn’t so bad anymore like it used to be which is a relief
im always feeling nostalgic for being a teen even though it was literally awful lol
drew you make my mind feel understood 😭❤️ keep bein your beautiful self
this has to be my favorite video ever. i literally loved every second of it
This video made me laugh, made me go “hmm”, and also made me feel less alone because I’ve been struggling with nostalgia lately too. Love you, Drew!
i get this feeling a lot too, just the “remember this?” feeling and then quickly after an overwhelming sensation of sadness (?), anxiousness, or just like feeling disoriented. it usually comes when i’m listening to music (even if the song is only a month old i’ll get this feeling) or watching movies, even when taking to friends. it really sucks but i’ve turned it into something that pushes me to do something creative with the things that give me that feeling. so just draw something, or write something- anything. doesn’t have to be good just has to empty my brain when i’m overwhelmed.
update: 1) i like the outro song
2) it made me realize that Drew’s music gives me nostalgia lol
your production has gotten better! love the song tbh
his videos give me so much happiness. like there’s always something comforting about drew, it feels like listening to a friend talk.
i swear to god watching and listening to drew talk is like a therapy session for me, he speaks from the heart about so many things i relate to and struggle with. this is why we love you so much drew!! happy holidays, stay safe 💗
The reason the past is coming up is because you’re healing!! You’re no longer repressing your memories or thoughts, so everything that has been repressed is coming back up. Analyze the thoughts, and let them go. Proud of how far you’ve come Drew. Much love to you zaddy
Obsessed w how good the editing is
I’m with y’all, I get strong existential feelings of nostalgia. I feel like it’s so easy to get caught up in it because we can enjoy moments from the past without all of the stresses present. I don’t think feeling strong nostalgia is bad, but don’t forget to keep making memories to look back to! 🙏🏼
The bit about the celebrity-connection dream is SO spot on for me right now my jaw dropped. Every night for the past month I dream about a celebrity that I didn't even know I liked, but it's such a comforting dream I keep going back to it because everything in the world feels like it's ending and I have nothing else that gives me any hope, except this tiny dream that makes me feel good in the moment, but awful when I wake up and realize it's not real.
Holy shit that part about feeling nostalgic about last year is so extremely relatable, I was in a kind of a shit place last year and even though I am positive that I feel better now, I still look at that time through nostalgic-colored glasses. Didn't expect someone else to say it exactly how I felt it, ly drew x.
cant believe how much ur vids resonate w me but im speechless over the super glue part. i always think i can be smarter than the glue next time.
I resonate towards your type of humor so heavily. You say all the inside thoughts that I have and I can’t express how much I love that
Drew and it being the holiday season will fill anyone’s heart. Drecember.
that's honestly so perfect
I can't stand how much I relate to your rant about the random euphoric energy that comes out of no where. Its the strangest thing. It happens to me out od no where. Tears will start flowing
i think the cure to nostalgia is to be present in the moment and cherish the present moment bc like u said, next year, we will be nostalgic of this moment! so i try to reflect on each day and soak it in bc i know a year from now i’ll miss it
I've been debating on making story time like videos ( because I swear to GOD I could write a best selling book about the things that happen to me ) but I always make excuses for myself because of my anxiety. sitting here reminiscing with your old and new videos n just watching you be authentically you has been inspiring for me nnnn maybe I'll put some content out there eventually !! maybe ...
love you so much so glad you're still making videos
I’m 25 and your “Nostalgia Test” honestly got me. 7th grade listening to Move Along by All American Rejects specifically while walking the track in December- I had an MP3 Clip though if anyone remembers those lol
Edit: I’m almost done with the video now and I just want to say I feel a lot of what you said soooo much. It’s like…I don’t even know if I’m actually missing what I think I’m missing- Am I missing the actual thing/person or am I missing the feeling that came with the first time I experienced it if that makes sense? Or is it both? Or neither??? And the sun seems dimmer, laughter isn’t as strong, everything seems….so sad. Everything is. And it all makes me sad now. And it honestly just makes me question existence so much- everything does and always has tbh but idk it’s like passion from everything is gone. I don’t just mean people either. You aren’t alone ❤️
Gosh you literally hit the nail on the head for me with that last paragraph.I always think back to when I was a preteen/teen and I just remember everything being so much better. I remember genuinely laughing and having fun while now I swear I have to force myself to actually laugh and enjoy things. Specially now around the holidays I remember back then loving Christmas soooooo much and truly being so happy during the entire month and now December just feels like any other month to me. I just to love decorating for Christmas and now it feels like such a hassle to do. Not only that just like you said I swear Christmas as a whole just feels so weird now a days.
I am nostalgic for the time in my life where I was relatively young and watched Cartoon Network all day while it was still good before I would start meeting more people and realising how mean they can be. It’s people like you that make me hopeful I will find kindness one day. Love you
