Joshua Graham-Carry that weight

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I am truly grateful for the amount of support and love you guys have given me. I plan on making some other content that doesn't involve AI, but that is still centered around philosophy, psychology and advice. The Joshua Graham videos will be a continuing series so long as you guys enjoy them. Like all my videos, I write these myself (I get asked a lot where the writing comes from), but I do take concepts and ideas from things like Buddhism and mindfulness teachings. I highly recommend checking out David R Hawkins if you guys are looking for a good teacher. He has changed my life in many ways. Thank you guys again and I hope you have a blessed day/night.

"The truth is most of us are tired. And i think even more of us are tired of being tired." I started crying because of this line.
Good news by Mac Miller says that to an extent, good song .
It's hard to keep hearing how awful they are, how awful we are. It's defeating.
"Many of us are trying to end ourselves everyday, but slowly and without awareness."
No sooner than the very moment I light my cigarette, are these words delivered.
Huh.
Same bro. Same...
If smoking couldn't kill me, I wouldn't bother.
I pray you learned from it and moved on from it
I legitimately wonder if the voice actor for Joshua knows about these videos, and what he'd think of them. You honored the character's ethos unimaginably well, and that ending is *one of the best arguments against suicide and nihilism I've ever heard.* You're doing God's work here man.
We can't expect God to do all the work.
Thank you for this ❤
Keith would be proud i got to meet him hes really cool 🤓
Keith did Graham for the redemption arc in Honest Hearts ......i was very much Joshua Graham but the fire didnt consume me 😇
@@ReddXYZoh but God did do the work.. God and his message run strong through this Aogiri guy
write a book, I'll read that cover to cover.
So you won't even open it?
Yes

Lol
what this man said please
There is just something about his voice that follows the words that really speaks to me. It's one I can trust, it's one I can believe. Thank you for making these it really is starting to make a difference not just for me but for others too.
I know we're all here feeling good, but I just want to say, we should all be wary of what we trust in the age of AI. This comment made me shiver a little because I too have been enjoying JGs voice, but it has made me realize how easily I could be seduced by a comforting voice in troubling times. This has been a PSA, pls no bully
@@GreyOatmeal bro, your comment is 😮😣
@@GreyOatmeal I totally agree. It can be an amazing thing for us to continue with it, but not without being careful and mindless. Same with so many things in modern society
I think it is less the voice and more the message. Truth rings out and resonates with people, no matter the voice.
"Struggle, challenge, and rise to struggle again. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words."
“I was always just watching, knowing the choice was always there, but just couldn’t seem to take it”.
Wow, this is a powerful analogy that I resonate with profoundly. Thank you for making these, I have listened to all of the videos you’ve made so far and they have all struck a chord in my soul.

“The truth is, most of us are tired. And I think even more of us is tired of being tired”.
PREACH
"Even in mistakes and sin there is light"
😶🌫️
"For only in darkness can you find light!"
I got chills at the train part. “Knowing the choice was always there, but just couldn’t seem to take it” I don’t think words have described my life more.
"It is not the drugs that supply us happiness, joy, and ecstasy; but it is the suppression of the lower states of consciousness that do this" that quote goes hard af
swear joshua just has max charisma, i could listen to his voice for hours
his stats was 7 for charisma, hit highest is endurance lol
I live by a very similar philosophy, specifically the final words "don't wish for an easier life, strive for the strength to endure it" if you truly did write this yourself, you have one hell of a talent. You have a stranger's respect
Dude, you seriously don't recognize the quote? In 1963 JFK gave a speech where he said "do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men". I wouldn't necessarily say lifting and slightly rewording old sayings or quotes is a hell of a talent. Kinda hacky.
@@jareddyer3142 Aogiri did mention they take inspiration from many sources, so that fits.
"I wish not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders."

It's about your great writing and the neutrality and calmness in Joshua Graham's voice and persona. For this reason, it feels more authentic and sincere than even real people, since real people suffer from the same ego problem and there is inevitable a hint of clout chasing/posing etc. Joshua Graham is pure by two baptizes. Great writings. Great work. AI and it's objectiveness is a key element in the effectiveness in your work. 👏
“I know it might be hard but i know you can do it.”
*Chills*
Simply amazing work. I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago.
Same, glad I got in early
Aside from Joshua Graham having an amazing voice, I beg you to do Ulysses's voice too! Cause his voice is amazing!
I might just do that, thank you.
Its AI
@@allistertheeldritchmemegod3537 yes we know, thank you for repeating it.
Agreed, we need lessons from that incredible philosopher
Bear bull bear bull
I really hope this trend of Joshua Graham being a voice for philosophical statements continue to flourish, it really helps me to contemplate various aspects of my own life through a voice I can recognize
I have listened to this video over a hundred times, almost every day for the past three months I've recommended this video to a bunch of my friends when they're at a low point or even as just a reminder to themselves of how strong they can be in the face of difficulty, and yet now I'm listening on a night where I might take my own life, and it's bothering me. I hate the fact that I want to believe that I can make it through this hard part of my life, but I've lost and failed so much and in so many aspects of my life that I'm not so sure anymore. I know that, like the video suggests, I will probably leave nothing but pain, sadness, and confusion, or "Baggage" to those who love me, but for once, I want to be selfish in a way that I just want out and rest and get a false sense of peace. If I am successful in my attempt, I just wish upon anyone who may come across this comment that I hope you can do better than a random stranger on the internet, that you can do it, and that you have people around you to help. I failed in asking for help from those who cared for and loved me, and it brought me to a place of needless hardship, sadness, and pain. So learn from this dumb stranger and live your life; nothing is gonna get easier, trust me, but like in any video game, all we can do is get stronger and face the challenges that might come upon us. And to the person who made this video, thank you for creating something that, for awhile, helped me get through tough patches.
If you're still alive and fighting this alone, know that - however cliche it may sound - you really have nothing to lose by reaching out to someone in your life. If you're really debating ending it all, make as many changes as possible first. Might as well, right?
Friend, if youre still around and reading this and youre still dealing with the shadow on your doorstep. Tell me that you will look for one small thing per day that is good. When i was going through it for those long 12 years i had to learn this alone. The one small thing proves that something else that happens could also be good, and those things make some life to be felt in this world. I dont want anyone to go through what i did. I know its cheezy but i love you and all the others in pain. I want you all free. I know im just a random stranger on the internet but im serious. Dont die on me ok? I dont want to see you gone. The worlds lost enough angels already
These are the messages we need more of in our world today.
I go with King Vendrick's motto:
"Seek strength. The rest will follow."
Genuinely some of the most thoughtful and motivational philosophy I’ve heard. Very honest, very real and very fair. You have a real talent and skill, and I look forward to listening to more 😊
Obviously the voice itself is incredibly comforting, but I simply want to comment on how well written this is. I studied creative writing for years, have written in published works and I am in awe of your analogies and structure.
Well done man, you've helped a lot of people with this.
I lost myself to alcoholism after 6 years in the army and seeing things that I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy. Weird that I just started listening to some of Joshua’s monologues and they’d help me keep the bottle out of my hand.
"But I know you can do it"
Somehow ending your videos on this just solidifies the message of hope and perseverance you are trying to spread. Brings me to tears every time. Godspeed my friend and thank you for what you're doing
I have no words to describe how happy I am that you've uploaded a 4th Joshua Graham Vid.... Your videos make me feel complete with teachings and valuable lessons... I'm just wondering what you would come up next 🙂
"There have been many times in my life, where I felt I was at a train station, watching the trains go by. Knowing the choice was there, but just couldn't take it."
I feel I'm currently at one of those points in my life right now. I can see the choice in front of me, know that its realistically the only choice I can make. But I'm not ready to let go of the pain that keeps me anchored to the station I'm at. I can't let go of the resentment, the betrayal, the hatred I feel. I know it only hurts me more to cling to it. I know that just because it happened once, doesn't mean it will happen again... and yet it doesn't matter. Nothing I've heard, nothing I've told myself, has come even close to soothing my anger. Only time has been able to sap its strength, and only slowly at that.
I don't know why I'm saying all of this on a deepfake video. But know that it has soothed my soul a little bit more to admit to these things. I still am not ready to leave this stop... but I may yet do so one day.
I’m a year late with this reply but I hope you’ve been able to release the pain you feel anchoring you to that stop & get on a new train to take you somewhere far away where better connections & a better reality will be waiting for you.
I usually don’t reply to comments on RUclips videos but your comment struck me because I heavily relate to it. I’ve been to that dark place that I felt was nearly impossible to get out of.
Energy cannot be destroyed, only converted. I hit the gym, read books, write in a journal, go for walks & listen to soothing music. I do still wanna get back into therapy, but all of the above has helped me greatly. I hope it can help you too, or anyone who stumbles across this comment
I start listening to theses every morning unironically, thank you again Aogiri!
You write these yourself ?!! Bro, I applaud you. Your an amazing writer.
Thank you sir, I needed this. you truly do not understand my gratitude for your work. Thank you for getting me out of a pit I've been in for most of my life.
This reminded me of the quote “do not pray for easy lives gentlemen, pray to be stronger men” from bo1 zombies
Thought about that line too
As a person who has a lot of regret, mistakes, and sin, it's therapeutic to hear this. I carry a lot of baggage right now, but I am trying to open it one by one and understand it carefully.
The fact that you can make simple advice and wove it beautifully into these strings of words.. you have a knack for writing man, I hope you do more ❤️
These are exact mirrors of thoughts I have came to from just observing and living and learning but it seems like nobody around me gets it. Literally nobody grasps this concept that I’ve ever come into contact with. This is amazing to see all of you together with the same understanding.
Self help & motivation? Nah, I'm good.
A lecture from the Burned Man? Sign me up.
I've been struggling for a little over a month now and feeling like I've been just going through an emotional spiral because of it. These videos, I don't know what it is about them, always seem to help my mind recenter itself. Everything said is already something known, but hearing someone else who has clearly no ulterior motive just makes it stick more. I could hear these some words from my own conscious or even my family, and my mind would try to warp it into a feeling of malicious intent. It's not a way I like to think, and I actively try to choose thinking otherwise. But after everything, for me at least, I find it hard to trust. So thank you for these. As you've seen from all the other comments, every video you put out is very much appreciated. I hope you are doing well and can find joy in what you are doing.
I unironically think this series of videos will help people. Just a badass character laying out the truth bluntly.
I'm genuinely always amazed by the quality of Joshua Graham AI reads.
It's like his soul inhabits these videos so he may fulfill his duty of spreading enlightenment and faith.
God be with you.
Modern day "Meditations" you have a gift brother. Please continue to share it with the world 🌎 🙏🏽
I lost my fiancé to suicide roughly a month ago, and I found this video today while looking for something to distract me from a particularly bad bout of grief. Needless to say, I broke down crying while listening to this, but it was a very cathartic feeling. He left me with so much baggage I feel like I need a forklift to move it, but I can't let that stop me. I have to carry the weight, for all the people who've invested their time and effort into seeing me through this rough time, I need to keep going, I need to board the train, otherwise what the fuck am I doing with my valuable remaining years?
Write a book man. This is wonderful and and so straight to the point. Just these few videos have had a strong impact on my perspective. I don't even know who Joshua Gram is, just found this through youtube recommendations.
videos like this are unironically one of my favorite things on the internet.
And here you are, a miracle
Wholeheartedly I am not a religious person but your messages resonate so deeply with me. Theres so many stories from my own family that I can only imagine what others must suffer with but we all do carry on and keep at it every day. Humans are resilient and our present was carved by those who refused to succumb and fight their demons till the bitter or bittersweet end. Life is short but I personally find comfort that as I die I may have laid a path or direction for someone in their darkest hour in a way I will never neither do I ever want to know. Its a miracle to be alive.
That part about losing a friend to despair hit me like a frieght train since I've lost my best friend since childhood to it as well. The description of hearing the whales of his mother and the lines of sad and confused faces is so surreal to hear since it's exactly what I experienced but chose to lock away. This just further pushes me to keep living for him so that he can live through my eyes and see the world through me. Thank you.
“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” -Khalil Gibran
*Sips Drink* If there was one thing to be said? Everything said in these videos you make, has depth and truth to them. And for that, you get another quote that matches the idea.
I can't believe that we've met that time when some human being may be depressed and another one can provide some help to him through such thoughts in the video. Thank you, unknown man on the other side for your ideas and help and strength they give ❤
Knowing the chose was always there
Brought tears to my eyes 😢😢
I really love these joshua graham videos, they've really helped me improve my mental health and start coming to terms with the way things are, please keep it up
These videos have been helping me cope with the struggles I face in my own existence, and helping me figure out how to tear down and rebuild my mindset.
This is on top of therapy, and on top of prescription medication. Motivational videos that touch on heavier subjects don't normally instill any kind of emotion in me, but the combination of Joshua Graham's voice, paired with your writing, has done that for me. It's made me reflect and meditate on where I should take my life from where I currently am, and what the concept of power, force, and what it means to be a man really means to me.
Thank you for these. You're helping others and myself find our way.
So, by not working or drinking I am confronting reality? I am grateful for these wise words.
I lessen to these video's almost daily there is something about them something that brings me in.
after I lessen to them I will tack time to let it all in and sit and think about how the words spoken apply to me and my life.
there is a reason to watch these video's and that reason is up to you to decide.
it has bean a pleasure Aogiri I look forward to our next encounter
The the alchemy of life is sacrificing one thing for another that trigger a memory "To gain something something of equal value must be lost in those days we really believed that to be the worlds one and only truth".
"Because everyday, behind masks of normalcy, people are fighting demons.."
Find myself hopping back to your channel when it calls to me. I don't watch the latest video until I'm ready for all the concrete-weighted gut punches your writing gives me when I need it. Your project is a blessing. Thank you, Aogiri. 🖤
My god these are just heaven, the quotes that come from this will definitely sit for quite some time. You have made something amazing here.
About a decade ago, I lost a friend to suicide as well and can attest to the weight that was brought upon all of the people who knew and loved him. It brought me to such a dark place that I began writing songs to process the grief. The first song I ever wrote happened to be called “Weights.”
Your writings are highly unique, and Joshua Graham fits them well. Thank you for posting them 🙏🏼 Keep it up if you feel called to it, because you have a gift.
Wow, these ai voices are crazy man. Having played new Vegas so many times and actually really coming to like Joshua’s character this really drives home his beliefs despite all that has happened around him. Wonderful stuff, truly a great job.
I've seen many motivational or philosophy videos, I have subs to channels with such content. This speech here is one of the better ones I've ever encountered. Read by voice of Joshua Graham is an icing on a cake. Outstanding bit good sir.
I lost my home to a flood, in July of last year, that gave me the drive to live a life in the service of others because of the complete lack of fear to do anything to save my things, but above all my family and hopefully some of their things too. I now work a job as a case worker for victims of the very same flood and the stress of living that day over and over since being given my first client and it simultaneously is driving me and killing me to a point that I can’t even bottle feelings anymore and I rarely ever have a chance to really vent so I just use comment sections of Joshua Graham to speak my mind. I’m so scared every single day because I’m deeply afraid I’ll never grow to be the person I need to be. I know that this soon shall pass, but I’m just so tired and frustrated with feeling so weak.
“even in my darkest moments i knew everything was going to be okay,because everyday behind masks of normalcy people are fighting demons “
IMHO, an English subtitle would be a fine additional.
I am not a native speaker, but after a long time using English, I have be able to listen & speak it well.
A subtitle would help those who hasn't.
I assume since an AI created this voiceover, the script should be recorded in text too, right?
It would appear although there is already closed captioning on this video. But if any other videos don't have that, I would agree fullheartedly.
I'll take you up on that Hawkins recommendation brother.
Have a blessed day.
Thank you Joshua. I will Endure as you have taught us all. go in peace love and light all. you can and will endure. and for those who think he comes from just a video game remember that there are infinite possibilities in all things. he maybe just a video game character. but his deeds his sacrifices. he is a survivor and he shows that all can be to. so be a survivor.
The writing in these videos is really authentic and feels truely heartwarming. My diseases are getting more serious with each day and the chronic pain is eating me alive but this Video especially helped me a lot, thank you.
When I'm down, I look to these videos. I've been finding myself here more often, the words are so beautifully written and inspiring. This video gave me the courage to push through, and I thank you for that 🖤
Good advice for the depressed and suicidal.
I never knew someone else figured it out. The truth of existence, and you're right, I am fatigued and tired of being so as well.
All I wanted in this world was to meet someone to have a family with. and all I see are scared half sentient people trying to forget that they exist or are desperately trying to prove it.
I guess my question is how do I meet someone similar to us and why are people of our caliber so scarce.
man joshua feels like the father i wish i had. a man with much life experience that tries to give guidance through his wisdom.
I would have also accepted "do not my pray for easier lives, pray to be stronger men"
You have no idea how many lives you’re going to save with this. God bless you.
I suffer from severe anxiety and these vids really help me collect my thoughts, and help me feel some kind of hope for the future.
if im being 100% honest, these videos have really resonated with me. my best guess is because the voice or joshua is almost fatherly and the teachings are more than my dad has taught me, his only son.
keep it up man, the videos are great
Everybody who is in a dark place,keep fighting it will be better at some point again.and those who have light,cherish it,embrace it and live the moment fully,because it will not last for ever.
After darkness comes light and then again darkness,it's a never ending cycle 'till death(and maybe still afterwards)
I think the part of these videos I appreciate the most is Joshua warning me things will be hard but he knows I can do it.
There's something incredibly reassuring about those words put that way.
This video is a guiding light in the darkest time of my life. The way the narrative is presented is almost like a story I can't turn my ears off to. I hope you continue to inspire others with these wonderful talks of inspiration, thank you so much.
It's this kind of shit that helps male's mental health.
Thank you
It helps also every human/gender.
it should not just be for males, please,we all sit on the same earth(boat) in the end
Gender fluidity is one of the keys to come to an enlightend world..
being a cannanite spans to even stoicism. i realized over the years, that joshua was a very stoic man. a man who's accepted his shadow
I feel that I have many things to say, reasons why these videos help me be the better me, but you know already, from everyone else, even from guessing. So all I say is thank you.
Hey, just wanted to say thank you. Had a tough time recently feeling lost and stumbled across these videos you have posted. Subscribing was the lease I could do they have helped me infinitely, please continue the great work you are doing
Ultimately I am just floating in this life of mine, I have no real goals, no real drive to do much of anything anymore, just exist and try not to make too many of my problems other people's problems. I don't really know what will make me happy, I don't know what will make my life feel better or give myself more accomplishment, make it feel like it's worth being here, I'm probably half way through my life and I don't know much of anything. I do not hate my parents, they are and have always been very good to me, giving what they can when I tell them not to; so then why do I not enjoy my time here? That is always the question that I ask myself, while I don't have any personal experience with suicide I can understand it.
The words in this video, are quite poignant yet.. while they touched me, I still do not know what to do other than my daily life, work, sleep, work, sleep, eating in between, that is all that this life has to offer most of us. I don't know why I just wrote all of this out, I just felt the need to.
Thank you Aogiri.
Your videos are awesome. I think everyone could benefit from listening to them. Joshua's voice is super digestable. Even those like myself that don't have a belief in god or any specific entity could find existence itself to be a higher power. Living is part of the process and we must trust it. I look forward to more content from you!
This exactly where I am now. More self-aware than ever and the haze that was over my mind and eyes has faded. Focused and determined to being serious with my personal growth in all areas of life and self improvement.
I completed a prolonged fast last month and I came to deeply appreciate just how amenable food and any other form of distraction is to me when it comes to escaping reality. Turns out life is painful, but when you run from that you run from the most exquisite joys found in simply not running away and saying thank you for what comes
I have no idea who is writing the message or doing the voice but these messages are nothing but absolute facts and the tone is unbiased and honest truly I feel that this is helping men grow
I don't know who you are, but your wisdom has become my friend. These videos are comforting and enlightening. May God bless you stranger.
Your writing is pheromonal. Please continue to make amazing and captivating lessons!
I often look back at the heaviness of what transpired in my life, while traumatic I wouldn't be the empathetic and stoic person I am today so
Thank you for uploading these. It may not seem like much, but you are changing the lives of others
anyone else cry a bit near the end? these are all great videos
Sure did brotha
Didn’t cry but it moved me because it felt like Joshua was speaking to me.
It's oddly re-assuring and yeah I did tear up a little bit.
I finally got through the storm of darkness that gripped my mind and came out the other side stronger and with a sense of purpose that I can't rid myself of, nor would I want to.
For the first time in my life, I truly do feel happy and have gained a new perspective on things.
Keep those thoughts coming... I love hearing Joshua graham voice.
I enjoyed this tbh. And is very true a lot of people really have doubt and never get far bc instead of taking the opportunity that’s in front of them they seek other opportunities which never come bc they never chose to accept the one that was provided
This one really struck a chord with me. Nobody can understand the difficulties of comforting a loved one, who's about to step over the edge, unless you've been in that position.
*sigh*
I couldn't comprehend the reasoning behind why anyone would believe that the world would be better off without them.
Then again, It's not my job to ask why, but my obligation to ask, and provide them with any comfort I can.
You got me crying on my lunch break
When A.I is a better therapist then talking to an actual person. This is what makes me have hope for A.I. It's not bad, it's the ethics of the person that uses it. Thanks for these
Honestly i know it’s kind of cheesy to say but these videos have genuinely helped me. I’ve got a bit of an addiction, nothing like to drugs or alcohol but still something that when I feel it it takes control of me and I feel compelled to do it, the video about fear and anxiety helped me a lot about deconstructing these craving and while they are still there, it turned them into a passenger in my mind rather then being the pilot
Every video I watch of yours makes me cry.
Don’t stop.
Your advice has actually helped me alot these past days thank you im in a dark place rn and now i see a form of light
You are made of dust and to dust you shall return. Yet the impossibility of you and that hidden spirit within that you have yet to uncover.. Through pain and reflection, you may become stardust.
