Man's went from comedy skits to passive philosophy. Such an incredible range on this channel, and his takes are great almost every time. I know we forget stuff all the time, but Nathan's left a lasting impact on me. Great video
best UA-cam evolution.
He is now the 4thpew
I didn't remember I was subscribed to this guy but he's definitely the best! I love the way he exposes things and I agree with you.
If Donald Glover stayed on UA-cam
literally
Of course I won’t forget this video, it’s already a classic
what video?
@@dagelijksedosisinternet3591 looks like someone forgot 😔
Stole your comment
Amen
Took the words from my mouth
Watching this reminds me of the Maya Angelou quote, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” So as much as we may not remember exactly what you said, we'll remember how you made us feel, which to me is happy.
We'll also remember this cause this video it's already a classic.
All we remember outside of specific memories are the vibes in between
Ironic that you remember that quote
I swear some days just have it out for me. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard this quote before until I read it on break today but here it is again. And stuff just like this with weird coincidences happens so often. I’ll see something or take notice of something earlier in the day and it will pop up again or become a theme for the rest of the day, then disappear for as long as I can recall.
That was painted on the wall of my old school 🥰
And A fun thing to know is that even if you have Alzheimer's, You will still feel happy when anyone close to you is there because even if you don't remember who they are, you will remember how they made you feel!!!
sometimes i'll catch myself in moments of accidental mindfulness, breaking my own fourth wall and questioning "am i going to remember this mundane moment ever again?" this video resonates hard
bro bro bro i still remember that most random moment 4 year ago back then i decide that i will remember for life .i have lots off these random moment .
@@customgaming6185 I have one where I was shitting on a Friday, and I thought "I'm not gonna remember this"
@@ChickentNug bro WHAT 💀
YEAH SAME MY MIND ALWAYS DOES THAT
@@ChickentNug well u remeber3d it so 👍
As someone who regularly has an existential crisis when I can't remember exactly how I spent my time over the last week, this really resonated with me
🎯🎯 same here. Very eerie. You probably even forgot you commented on this video, Until you see this notification ofc
When Nathan Zed posts, it'll never forget it. It's already a classic
I forgot he existed until this video
@@googleplusmemes1500i actually hadnt found him until i saw this. I watched his other videos and realized he made the easy exam video. But never checked him out until now
Something about this guy, man. He’s so captivating to listen to. And I do think that, although you probably lose 95% of your good memories, nothing in life feels as good as randomly remembering that REALLY good memory from a long time ago that you haven’t thought about in ages
😊
Thiss
Jesus Christ is the way, truth to life. He is the king of kings. Seek him and turn away from wickedness. Our lives are changed within and transformed when we accept him into our hearts. God bless you ✝️🙏
I watched a video from a girl with memory loss and something she said really hit me: “just because I don’t remember doesn’t mean it wasn’t real”
It's an interesting perspective to think about the connection between forgetting memories and nostalgia. To me, nostalgia is literally the worst feeling in the world because there's nothing we can physically do to go back to times that we miss and maybe even long for.
You can be grateful for whatever's giving you nostalgia though, grateful that you had the experience at all
I think nostalgia literally means like pain from an old wound. It’s honestly the worst feeling 😭 like I get reminiscing for a little bit but I’d hate to stay there. It feels like you’re trying to regain something that’s already been lost and the futility of that sucks. I’m sure some ppl have healthier relationships with nostalgia but I hate it 😂
nothings better than fully experiencing the memory as it's being made in the present, you get to recall all the feelings way better and that's just how it should be.
i agree 100%
@@a.estelle.a that's a beautiful perspective
I THINK ABOUT THIS ALLLLL THE TIME
the vsauce jumpscare
omg more like dodie in the comments jumpscare lmao but i guess i forget youtubers also watch youtube ahaha but yeah this video went hard and it’s good to see u here :)
hi dodie i hope you're doing well ^_^
then u forget it

I started journaling heavily when my mom was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. It was a way to cope with the bad days, but it was also a way for me to remember the good days and record my last memories of her.
Now that she’s gone, I’m so grateful that I recorded those good memories. I’m grateful that I can relive those last conversations, laughs, and moments that would’ve otherwise been forgotten.
Jesus Christ is the way, truth to life. He is the king of kings. Seek him and turn away from wickedness. Our lives are changed within and transformed when we accept him into our hearts. God bless you ✝️🙏
:( i wish i had done this
I don't care that much about memory because, even though you forgot, it's still part of your history. Like waters that have passed but moved the watermill, even if you don't remember the experience, it still changed you and is part of who you are today
Bro that's such an interesting analogy
It's kinda scary how accurate this video reflects my feelings for the past few months.
Your name is nekelen? No way! goofy ahh name you got there
i know right! i enjoy how relatable Nathan’s opinions and expressions are
Really, same
There's a line I quite like from True Stories (1986) that relates to the virtue of forgetting:
'I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.'
When you said "our ancestors may have had a stronger memory because they HAD to recall the information" that part stuck with me because I have been recalling things that happen in my memory for years now since I actually don't like taking pictures of every moment when I go out. I remember I told myself when i was younger as a joke that I want to remember the memories in my head so that when I die, I could see them flash by quickly one last time, so I guess that joke stuck because I dont have that many photos, etc, just my memory. Could be due to memorization tactic I was taught in 4th grade. Love this video
Ooooo can you please tell me what that memorization trick is?
@@Rosannelikeslemons so basically my after school teacher would time us for a min to see how many sentences we could read and what it was about. And she’ll do it more & more to see how much we could remember. So now, I’m able to do that with pictures, words, and sometimes sounds. I also was tested on sounds too. Pretty cool
Ooo that's so cool thankyouu
@@Rosannelikeslemons no problem love

I have a degree in Psychology and I can certainly say that all lectures regarding how memory works were the most difficult ones. It's such a complicated concept, there's so many things I don't understand but it's very interesting too
How am i gonna forget it if it's such a classic?
Everytime I get a notification I really get hyped up, not a lot of UA-camrs and creators aren’t making content like this anymore, at least the few I used to watch. Thanks for being authentic all these years, and thanks for subscribing to my channel all those years ago, please don’t ever change. It still inspires me daily to make authentic content like you do. Much love as always my friend.
Reminds me of old sneako
@Wife Beatler007 Ew never compare that weirdo to Nathan + Your username definitely matches someone who would listen that scum
@@perplexed1783 tweakin, old sneako provided gems and indepth videos on life. Don’t speak when you were only there for his controversial self.
this is my exact thought process everytime i go to a concert, I want to remember everything about it, how the artist sounded bcus I know they will never sound like that again, but I don't want to be so caught up in recording every song on my phone that I dont sit back and enjoy the moment as it happens. and also i feel like when i watch those videos those become my memory of the concert instead of what i actually experienced
I have never related to anything more strongly than this entire video. My ability to remember things is so bad and it stresses me out. I put so much time and effort into journaling and scrapbooking and trying to preserve my memories because I know if I don’t I will lose them. It’s hard trying to find the right balance between preserving memories and making memories but I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one
This is crazy. I was literally thinking about how scary forgetting most of my childhood memories has been and how it's made me more obsessed of capturing things, only to not live in the moment. I really needed this. Will definitely learn to appreciate the present.
This! Just this week I was feeling very anxious about this.
I've definitely been feeling that re: childhood memories! I started writing them down in as much detail as I can, especially any that involve any people other than me because I know how much I cherish memories with like, my grandma, for example, since she passed 11 years ago now.
I legit don’t remember anything about my childhood when I was a kid. But I do remember what I did during 2013-now though. And I can also accurately recall everything i did and saw in perfect detail too
I can also remember almost all of my dreams too
one thing that gives me comfort with regards to not documenting certain happy/positive memories is that sometimes, the memory is meant to belong only to the version of myself living in the moment. perhaps i won't remember the beautiful sunset i saw three years ago, or the peaceful walk back home seven months ago, but it's comforting knowing that the version of me during those times was able to fully live in their moments and enjoy them.
i saw billie eilish in concert back in august, and while i took plenty of videos, i didn't record anything from the second half of happier than ever (the song) because i knew i wanted to fully experience it in the moment. although i can't look back on a video and see myself screaming my lungs out to that song, i don't regret being able to do it without worrying about documenting it. that's a special memory, the full details of which stay with the version of me living their best life in that stadium 💚
couldn’t have said it better. Totally understand this
you worded this so beautifully and I very much resonate
This is probably one of if not the most beautiful comment I've ever read
@Day RIght? absolute banger.
this is such a beautiful sentiment put so beautifully too. thank you.
relatable, stressing over trying to remember stuff, but honestly everything in life is so fleeting that trying to capture it instead of living it is just a diminished return of your energy.
I think it's just about finding a comfortable middle ground, remembering the broad strokes without trying too much to capture it, and rather just letting it happen. Forgetting stuff you view as valuable is pretty sad though, and just the thought that there probably is a lot of stuff you've forgotten that you would have done anything to remember is scary.
But, looking at it differently; if I was offered to do something fun, but after completion would be wiped from my memory, I would personally still do it, which I think is reassuring that there is meaning in doing something even if you won't remember it.
I can proudly say that Nathan Zed is one of the most unique UA-camrs ever. Man goes from talking about music to TV to general human philosophy. Absolutely great. 😭🔥
Last night, I thought I recorded an absolutely beautiful moment at a concert and only realized when I got home that I accidentally didn't record anything at all. I've spent the entire day irritated at myself for ruining my chance to revisit that memory, and this video reminded me to be happy that I got to live through that moment to begin with. Thank you!! Perfect timing, as always :)
Bit hard to feel that way when you're accustomed to watching videos you usually watch twice if they're great, and can always watch again later, and sometimes do, and you're living with ADHD for only five seconds at a time and it seems really strange that you're experiencing any given moment at the moment and then remembering that moment far off in the future knowing that somehow it happened but the only remaining traces of it are somewhere in your mind and it's so inaccessible which only creates apprehension about the new present moment and the rest of your life by extension
Really bonkers for me :|

@@3z3O I think that's because the church knows how to make people feel a certain way during their sessions. It makes a lot of people feel better, but they also abuse people sometimes
I love your relaxedness. It’s like when you would write an essay and the teacher doesn’t like how you were very relaxed, reasonable, weighed both sides evenly, wrote it as if it were a discussion and not an essay. You just feel good on my ears and soul
@Dilbot 🥸
I love your use of 'relaxedness' :)
@@neonlacee it’s the only word I know😁 I could’ve pulled out “dragoon” which means to convince
This is by biggest worry, and many others as well. You're not speaking into the void man. Memories are important but actually enjoying them when they're happening is what makes them memorable in the first place way more than a photo, video or written momento ever could. Thank you for this.
I know people may see this as weird, but this is exactly why I randomly record voice memos of moments where I’m just talking to my friends or family. Obviously nothing super private or super deep convos, but just simple silly laughs and story telling moments. So I can remember now and 90 years from now. I used to journal waaaaay more, but audios have become more of my thing now that I’ve gotten older. I wanna get back to writing more.
One thing I've learned is that, if the moment is really THAT special and important, you'll remember it.
Not every moment has to be unforgettable.
ay nathan I just wanna say that me and my dad always sit down to watch your videos and we've been looking forward to this one. He has memory problems so this video hit particularly hard.. he really respects and enjoys your views on things that sometimes he doesn't even know about, and even better ur videos got us talking more, so thank you man... FALCON HUUGG
Legit watch these videos with my sister all the time now we have a new one to watch and rewatch constantly. Words can express my happiness right now💗
Sometimes I have to actively remind myself to take in the moment , where I am, what I’m feeling than just living passively or getting too lost in the moment. Now when I think back, although I don’t always physically capture a moment, I can always remember the active choice made and that I was fully there in that moment. That’s enough for me. Love your content as always Nathan keep shining!
When I was 12 years old I was lieing in bed trying to remember what I did the day before, then I had a similar thought. "I probably won't remember thinking this", now it's one of my clearest memories.
You have played the game Nathaniel Zed, I will remember this interaction forever
We won't forget how much we appreciate you as a human and a content creator. 🥺🙏🏿
forever
Since I won't remember this video...I think it kinda proves why so much content that's out now affects my memory. Something has to be really good whether it be a book, movies, show, cartoon, anime, song, album or video game for me to think about it forever. Won't remember this comment a year from now but I'm glad you made this Nathan! Your vids inspire me.
I’m still thinking about Persona 5 two years later😊
honestly i even forget about things i love even if i think they are amazing i eventually move on because there are so much other things to discover
@@adthecool9369 I did until u notified me about it
@@adthecool9369 Definitely lol might remember next time u ask
as someone who tries to document every day of my life (i use 1se lol) this really resonates with me. sometimes i feel like i ruin good moments by pulling out my phone to record and in retrospect when i look back the feeling i felt when i took a video or picture of what was happening around me doesn't feel the same anymore. sometimes when i forget to record a little chunk of my day i end up creating fake memories to look back on and when i watch back my 1se at the end of the year it feels so ingenuine and doesn't always reflect what i was feeling at the time. time is such a fickle thing and in the process of trying to remember everything around me i end up not enjoying whats actually going on. i think a lot of moments are better when you just experience them rather than trying to capture them (kinda like that twitter post where it's like "why do people never have any good picture with their best friends" and its cus they're having such a good time that they forget to pull out their phones. a lot of the time these good moments arent saved in a cloud but they are saved my nostalgic conversations those 'remember when' sit down talks haha). saying all of this i don't think i'll stop taking videos of my daily life tbh and i want to one day start posting videos on youtube so i can remember stuff about my life and so people can remember stuff about me. but yeah idk where i was going with this but ur right BACKUP UR PHOTOS IF YOURE READING THIS
(also nathan if u ever see this i love ur videos and i think i'll remember this one especially :) )
Memory is so hard because I feel like I inadvertently create fake memories and then after a while, they become part of my reality?
I never thought of memory much until I read Proust. Every since I read that scene with him describing the Madeleine, I think of the book every time I’m experiencing something I want to remember
"I might not remember this moment later, but I'm really enjoying it right now" is a thought I have often especially with adhd/memory recall issues. Like when just chilling in the car with my friend or sitting in the backyard with my grandma
excellent topic! just want to post that i appreciate your video style, so unique and appealing. got that fast pace that hooks you in, plus those unique transitions, thoughtful edits and music changes, incredibly fun stuff to watch. the effort shows.
Dude I relate to this so much. I was reading the book "Life of Pi" it's about a boy who escaped a shipreck in a small boat with a tiger and survived. When he grew up and settled in Canada there was a line something like " he only had one photo during his entire childhood" i guess because photos were expensive to take back then. That really hit me, like will I have enough photos and memories of myself that I can look back at later on. So yeah I obsessively started taking photos, journals, private vlogs etc.
This is an interesting topic to reflect about, even more when you've been dealing all your life with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Depression, etc. There's a huge taboo around it and it's not talked about enough. What a weird relationship we have with memory, indeed.
Always great to see you upload. You're still one of the best content creators around, thank you for always bringing us such quality.
I really like how the songs you use in the background often are directly related to what you’re talking about, adds another layer of the vid to enjoy
i love this so much, nathan. i've been thinking about this a lot lately since i went through a breakup--i want to look back on our happy memories with fondness but i want to avoid looking back too often and remembering too much. in general there is such a pressure to remember that it takes us out of the moment.
a real classic.
This exact video has been a major theme in my life, but even moreso this year as a whole. Yesterday I made a journal entry about this exact thing & how I felt. I always say how grateful I am to have a journal because it ended up documenting many important shifts in my life when in the moment I did it just for relief, some peace of mind, looking for clarity in myself. This is the quote I wrote at the end of my journal entry from the book Essentialism by Greg Mckeown, “Is it any wonder that often the times we feel most alive, those that make up our best memories, are moments of play?” Embrace that inner child every day folks i stg it changes your life. A moment to dance & do some fun shit with your body or drawing or reading old comics. Whatever. I ask my heart everyday what is best for me, & it answers. Every day I listen & that connection has only gotten stronger. Your heart is the true key. Stay blessed❤️
The awareness of the uniqueness of each moment makes them horribly terrifying and magnificently beautiful.
Times flies, enjoy.
bit of a hot take but i feel like smartphones kinda ruined the live music experience at least for me. i keep catching myself focusing on the recording on my phone "because i want a video to remember this moment" instead of the real life human beings in front of me. and then when i think back and actually try to remember that moment my brain blanks because i was too busy recording that video rip
anyway, banger video as always
I'm a very nostalgic person so.. yeah, the thought of not having my memories is terrifying (and freeing at the same time¿). But there's something special about creating NEW memories with 'old' things, for example, I started watching your videos back in 2013/2014, and when I'm watching a new video, it still feels familiar, even though I'm different person and so much has changed, and you have grown and changed as well, but it's still comforting like a memory.
This is such an important and resonating topic to me, that I appreciate so much to see people talking about it. Watching the video, scrolling through the comments, and seeing everyone's point of view on the importance of memory, and what makes a memory important to remember. I make playlists, take pictures (i have a spam account on instagram where i post every few days any pictures i took on my phone, or screenshots, or text messages, anything that made those few days important).
The state of my memory retention is also very variable. I can remember the first time I learned about snow melting, but I can't remember the names of my next door neighbours that lived beside me for 15 years as I was growing up. I recently started journaling as well, but in a scrap-booking type of way, where if I had a receipt from a good coffee shop i tried, or a sticker i found, or a song i discovered, I'll put it right into that book and date it. I love flipping through it, or scrolling back through my instagram feed and remembering where i've been, who I hung-out with, what we did, etc. (both spam, and normal account). It jogs my memory, and I am able to remember how i felt about that day. Psychology is so cool to me, I want to learn more about the interconnectedness of psychology, development and neurology in humans, from sleep, to core memories. It's so fascinating. I love it.
This video gave me happy nostalgia, not even for things that have happened yet but for vibes I wanna feel again
bro came back when the world needed him
This is so well said! “Sometimes your memory isn’t the reality.”
Love the balance you mentioned about remembering and forgetting. Reminiscing is one of life's greatest ongoing gifts & it wouldn't exist if we all had flawless memories all the time.
I've thought about this a lot recently and I've come to the conclusion that even if our brains forget stuff, our bodies don't. For example, if you have a really good, fun weekend, even if you don't remember it on Monday, your mood will generally be a bit better. We don't need to remember every single thing. We can't. But they do stay with us longer than memories. If that makes any sense
The last sentence is an unintended pun haha
I’ve had this man’s exact thoughts for a while now... thank you for wording it so elegantly. I’m only 14 but sometimes i feel like I can’t remember much from past my 11the birthday and it terrifies me
Tim you're going to die tim you will forget everything tim.tim.
Bro you're a baby A BABY A-B-A-B-Y!
Your baby is: is damn fool baby indeed
Like, 14 is so small like not even 15 or 16 yet but you can move your mouth like a real man
Your birthday is: is terrifing
honestly I feel like it's way more painful to remember good things than bad things. If I remember something bad that happened to me I can feel happy and relieved that I got through it and it's over. If I'm remembering something good that happened to me I just feel sad that it's over and those people in that memory are gone.
Thank you this is something that’s been bothering me and it was nice to hear someone else’s perspective on it. I 100% resonate with everything you said 🙏
This was, ironically, a very memorable and thought-provoking little video, Nathan.
Maybe in a month, I will indeed have forgotten about it, but I'm just glad I was here to enjoy it and ponder it in the moment. Thank you for all the great stuff over the years ❤️
I used to think you only made videos on the music industry and pop culture but wow. This blew me away. Thought provoking as always but this feels like talking it out with a friend, rather than a philosophy lecture. Can’t wait to see what you’ll make next ❤️
We don’t remember every moment but a deep down subconscious perspective of us does. I don’t remember every convo or hangout I’ve had with my best friend but our bond has continued to strengthen, even without us consciously remembering
thats what i was thinking about past fews days .like you dont attualy remember the thousand of movies you watch .you watch it and time is gone .
Imma keep it 100 with you, homie. I'd be pretty alright with forgetting, like, 92% of everything from 2016 to literally right now. I'm trying to get to a place where I can finally start treasuring my memories again. 2015 was the last year where I'd be devastated if my memories of those times were erased. I didn't even say that to sound depressing, I'm just spelling out my main goal right now.
Hope you find what you’re looking for and more. Hope you chase the hard things that are more gratifying in the end but also take the time to sit and enjoy what you have. Hope you find friendship and love that’s truly gratifying. Hope you look back on the next 6 years and your mind is flooded with all the good times, all the hard but enriching times, and even if you forgot 92% of it, you’d still have blessings to spare to look back on. Hoping you live it up, bro.
Live in the moment and you won't need memories.
this is more than just a modest classic, this is a banger
I use Instagram as a digital journal for myself. If other people wanna look at them cool, but its mostly for whatever I want to remember. I also have a story highlight for when I use songs to remember significant moments and feelings in life, whether good or bad. And when I go back to that story highlight I remember exactly how things felt and were, and that memory never changes because it's reinforced in the brain every time I go back and look. It can just be a video of outside my window but the song tells me exactly what was going on and how I was feeling. I get to see the progression of my own journey. I also keep a calendar to keep track of when I'm productive, high, low, etc. to reference back to see how my days really went outside of my present day perception. Writing in general (with dates recorded) also can help give you an idea of how you were in any given time period
The topic of this video is something i've been struggling a lot lately, the whole thing about time, memories and nostalgia, and this man just put it into words perfectly, amazing video, instant classic.
1:00 “I literally would pay $1000 for those photos, they are priceless to me”
I don’t think that’s how it works Nathan
heavily relate to this, i used to obsessively write in a journal back in quarantine. i felt like i wanted to remember everything but it ended up just being unhealthy
If it's OK to speak about, how did it become unhealthy to you?
knowing how much ive forgotten about my life, and how much ive distorted memories by being obsessed with nostalgia, genuinely gets me depressed 🥲
my grandmother had alzheimer's and since I have always described myself as a forgetful person, at the back of my head I have always had that fear of getting this disease in the future but all I need to know is that even if I forget my memories, the effects of those memories on me will always exist so those memories will never be lost just because I forgot them and even if I did forgot them it's okay. they will always exist in a different timeline with maybe different people and places. do not underestimate yourself just because your brain does not have a clear vision of that moment, your heart knows every detail.
i thought about this a lot when i lost all my icloud photos a few years ago (no idea how it happened but yes they are gone from the cloud). it definitely taught me to appreciate being in the moment because at the end of the day, it's that experience that shapes who you are, not the documentation of it.
i also think it's so cool how you could be experiencing something and it reminds you of an old memory related to it. so even if we can't remember that specific thing in the moment, experiencing new things may bring about past memories. idk it's sometimes overwhelming to think about but moral of the story: be present. be here. be now!
Just showed up and I already know it's gonna be a classic. How could I possibly forget it?
I forgot my grandma...same as you when you grow up
Wow, I love this video. Thank you for sharing
What I want to remember when I come back to this video is that all the changes that I’m growing and going through now will lead me to where I need to be and who I want to be. And I’m so grateful. Appreciating the present and looking forward to the future ❤
Another Classic video from this man, he don't miss. Video has me thinking about how right he is with remembering and forgetting certain things in our lives. Days passing and not remembering everything single thing that happen but certain things we do remember stays with us, it's honestly a little scary.
Here's my 2 cents: I never take photos and I don't ever post on social media. I've never been worried about forgetting a moment. When I'm living a moment that I wish could last forever I know I will never forget it or at least I won't forget it for a long time. I remember most things I my life, both good and bad. I think big part of it is that I have been extremely lucky in the friendships I've found because they are a constant reminder of shit we did for the decade we've been friends for. Yes, you are your memories but if you didn't have them anymore there is still your core and the people around you that love you. Protect your core with things that enrich it. And nurture your friendship and family. And you'll have great memories to look forward to.
im sure I will always remember and cherish this moment
Wow this video resonates so deeply with me. I recently lost my Nana and the grief has been bearable but the thing I’m most afraid of is forgetting about her. But also I don’t want to think about her all the time because I know I will cry.
Great video! that part at the end was really funny (and I love that Arthur sound clip lol). I relate so much to this line of thinking/fear... I try not to think of it, but it freaks me out to think that I've forgotten whole snippets of life.. things that were maybe important or meaningful at the time, or just good... :/ a friend told me this thing she heard in a podcast, that every time you recall an event, you rewrite the memory in your mind. Both those things together make me feel like it's impossible to really look back on things and try to decipher them? Like to try to analyse things too much, or sort out old things that bother me. Just the thought that I'll never remember enough of it to really conduct any meaningful analysis or come to the actual correct conclusion about my actions or whatever. And the thought that every time I try to remember the event, I'm changing/tinting the memory to suit whatever conclusion I'd like to come to, even if I'm not trying to. Idk! I just totally relate haha. I agree that this is something we should just try to let go of. Focus on moving forward and enjoy the present and future... it's fine to try to capture moments (I'm thinking of printing photos for a photo album) but gotta also accept when things are gone and not dwell too much on the loss (easier said than done). Sorry about your phone! I had a similar thing happen to me and it sucks. Gotta truck along tho
100% spot on with this take dude. In a world of trying to feel fulfilled with your experiences, and placing feeling to memories, it can take away from our sense of self and living for the current moment. Thank you for beautifully crafting the message of living for yourself and for the now. Also fred again.. is incredible double thank you for bringing him up
2:30 in fact all memories are moments your brain makes up. Either a little bit of the memory, or the whole thing, will be inaccurate to what really happened. We need to move past a society that relies on memory working because it doesn't work how we think it does. we aren't our memories, we are our actions
thanks this video made me find out why journaling is important, I’ll come back to this video in a month if I still remember it through journaling
You are the only person I can stand to listen to talk about deep/existential stuff
Nathan I have been watching your videos since I was 13 years old and now I’m 21, you are a big part of my growth so I’ll never forget you and your impact
Nathan, your video why your future doesn’t matter was what broke me out of a depressive episode, even if i may not remember what you said in the video it’ll stick with me for a long time, thank you.
You're definitely not alone in this, I feel this all the time. Take so many pictures to remember everything that I don't have time to look at any of them.
What I want to remember is that one friday on that my class had an after school meeting. It was fun, I got a bit tipsy and when my friend and I got home, we still were feeling euphoric.
What I also want to remember is the time I spent with said friend. We had a fight and since then we havent really talked, which I accept, its okay because they stepped over my boundaries. But that doesn't mean our memories together dont mean anything.
nathan has always put sm effort and time into his videos & it’s so appreciated
I'm also afraid of forgetting things. This video helped a bit. For the most part, I've never had the issue of trying to document things as they happen, but there have been times when thinking about trying to hold onto a moment has distracted me from the moment. I still like writing about moments and event after they're done. I guess it's a matter of balance. Leaving some stuff to look back on, but not obsessing over it.
i'll try not to forget this video, cos it's honestly so powerful. thank you
I went to a concert last week with the people that matter the most to me, the fact that I could forget that scares me, but also comforts me in a strange way.
Just like Fred Again, your work is a product of your experiences. I watched this video and - no matter how much - it has shaped my experiences and who I am. So now anything I create will have been influenced by you, Nathan. Sharing our thoughts, feelings, works with others shaped the world around us. We're all connected. Great video. As always, an instant classic.
this isn't the video i thought it was going to be, but i always love to see Nathan post something new. His videos are super calming to watch, i think it's his voice lmao
I’ve been journaling since 2018, and I look back on moments and struggles that I was facing and honestly just forget that those events were even happening but to me 5 years ago, they were the biggest thing going on and now it’s like it doesn’t even matter :(
Thanks for this. I've found it's always important to remember to enjoy the present moment, if you remember nothing else at least remember that.
I feel like this was plucked from my own stream of consciousness. I forget a lot of stuff 😓
There is this iconic story that my friends tell people all the time, its something that happened at our school but i wasnt there that day. But i have heard this story so many times I actually recently caught myself telling someone the story with me being in it. My brain filled in some random details and voila i had a fake memory of me being part of something only ever told to me.
ill remember you and this vibe id always have with you watching your videos. everytime man. everytime
I love how you incorporated the movie momento into your video because it fits the theme
Nathan popping up in the feed ever few months giving us classics every time.
One of the few, if not the only youtuber who inspires me with almost every video, keep doing you bro
The fact that I actually learned something from this video is incredible.
Also when you fail the test at the end because I thought you meant that I was going to forget about the part where you talk about how we constantly try to remember things.
This is the mentality I’ve been using lately to stop being so insecure and shy. If I say something embarrassing, especially to a stranger, it’ll be wiped from their memory, and likely my own, within an hour. Maybe even less. It’s oddly comforting
And the good times are just meant to come back when something lights the fuse on a certain good memory. If you never remember a moment, was it worth remembering anyway?
Even when your videos are about something as scarily real as this, they make me feel calm. thank you! I hope you are doing well :D
