    Life is like a piano. White keys are happy moments and the black ones are sad moments. Both keys are played together to give us the sweet music called Life.

    as someone who’s currently struggling with mental health at uni, this is really inspiring and important to me. i’ve been feeling lost for months now, and it’s just too much. glad you’re feeling better now, and thank you for showing your experience with others. it can mean a lot more than you think. wishing you the best on this journey

    this is exactly what i went through. My gpa went from a 3.9 but when everything dropped I feel so lost instead. I got dropped from my university, and they said I needed a break for one year. I skipped 2 grades growing up so this time is very painful to be losing off.But i dont think I cant afford time to do a break. I am loosing friendships, losing my source of self esteem, loosing time. loosing my education. What to do when you loose that muscle 100%? I have 0 idea what to do😔 and I need help.

    I think it is part of the journey to lose yourself once in a while, only then can you learn to find yourself again and again during different stages of your life. Thank you for being so open about this! Stay strong;)

    this is so relatable. i just dropped out of my current uni because it screwed me up so badly. i'm so excited to get started again at a new uni, in a new environment, with new habits.

    Oh lord I feel ya. My mental health was never great before but my time at film school completely destroyed me. A combination of unprofessional lecturers who made me afraid to go to their classes and people I hung around with that I didn't realise were abusive. A line from Queen Maeve in The Boys resonates - "Then I started giving pieces of myself away and eventually I gave away everything". I don't keep in contact with anyone from that time anymore. Glad you found yourself again brother

    I don’t like yoga, meditation or working out. But I definitely lost myself in University in the same way. I learnt a lot from this experience and would do it again just with more experience.

    honestly the video you made about travelling in your gap year convinced me to do the same... I have a few months left of my gap year before uni and have just organised 3 trips abroad. I'm going to thailand in May for a few weeks if anyone is down to come LMK :)) and I love your videos they're actually really inspiring !!

    wow this video came at the best possible time. I was literally binge watching your last videos last night and also was watching the videos where you just started uni. I think you’re helping so many people out here, I personally have been experiencing exactly the same thing with once I started uni and I resonate so much with everything that you say. I know that it’s not easy but I feel like we have very similar journeys and we got this! Thank you for everything 😊 so excited for the videos that are coming. But also, don’t put too much pressure on yourself and take life easy❤

    I went to uni abroad in Europe too, and it made me miserable. I experienced similar things to you too. Sometimes, I think you go off track for a reason. For me, it pushed me to leave and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

This has been really helpful as I have been feeling really down so far this year stressing out about so many things, amongst this there's also considering what university course I'd like to study and a lot of expectations etc. But I'm sure I can bounce back and this was really helpful soooo.... Thank you :)

    When I attended college. I stopped doing anything else, I spent my free time resting in my bed. Why does college have to be overly competitive. I became mentally drained. Always worried about deadlines especially when I caught covid for the first time while also having tonsillitis, all in the span of the first week of college. Fell behind on assignments. I never had anytime to do anything else because I'm still studying on the weekend. I missed meetups and hangouts with friends because of college.

    If a house withstands harsh conditions depends on the foundation. I am very sure you never had a stable foundation, so I guess you didn't really loose anything. It is not my intention to attack you, it is about bringing some questions on the table. The most important question in my life was: What do I REALLY know? I've had learned a lot in my life, but most if not all that I have had learned in my life at that point was from others. I just decided to believe it and thought this was knowledge.
    Meditation can help to find answeres, but I didn't even have any clue about meditation, even I thought it. I didn't meet many people in my life who really knew what meditation is. I wanted to know what this is and I don't know where I got the information that there is an English book from the 14th century about the topics "meditation and contemplation" (it is called: The cloud of unknowing). I didn't stop at just reading this text, but I found it very interesting that it was pure Plato. What I have learned, that what many people call meditation in fact is contemplation. But meditation is important and I couldn't contemplate before I didn't learn to meditate.
    I am not there to teach you meditation, nor contemplation. Nobody can teach you contemplation but your self. And learning meditation at the end is learning about contemplation. Might be confusing, but I hope you get my point. And sorry if my English is a bit weird, I'm German and I learned English very late.
